Please join D-CHIPP on Wednesday, February 24, at 3:30 p.m., as we host the next Critical Conversations Documentary, “MaryAnn,” a documentary by WRAL about MaryAnn Black.

Betsy Allen, MSN student, has been working as part of a six-member interprofessional research team to conduct a study about health care workers diagnosed with COVID-19. This will include MDs, nurses, nurse aides, NPs, OT, OT assistants, PT, PT assistants, PAs, social work, respiratory therapists, speech therapists, and any health care technicians (lab, EMT, radiology, etc.). 

Assistant Professors Jacqui McMillian-Bohler and Amie Koch wanted to create a space for incoming nursing students in their Wellness/Health Promotion Across the Lifespan course to get to know their faculty and get to know each other safely during what can be an difficult time: moving to a new location, starting a rigorous ABSN program, all during a global pandemic

Christine Mathews, DNP student, had her piece "Opinion: Are COVID-19 lockdowns worth this toll on our mental health? I’m a nurse practitioner who says no," published in The San Diego Union-Tribune.

Abstract

The Professional Accountability Program (PACT) provides a framework for ensuring that our providers and staff are consistently exhibiting behaviors that support our health system values. The program utilizes interventions aimed at promoting insight, accountability, and appropriate improvements in behavior through the use of peers as peer messengers. These peer messengers are specifically trained to provide first-line, confidential support and coaching in a supportive, non-punitive way.

Brian Douthit, PhD student, wrote "Applied Interdisciplinary Theory in Health Informatics: A Book Review" for ANI Connection. Rachel Richesson, former associate professor, is a co-author.

Citation

Without skills such as cultural intelligence (CQ), the Duke University School of Nursing wouldn’t be able to fulfill an intrinsic part of its mission, to bolster a diverse, inclusive environment for all.

CQ refers to a method that provides a person with the tools and knowledge needed to connect and collaborate with others of different cultures. Advocating for the widespread implementation of this method is Angela Richard-Eaglin, DNP, FNP-BC, CNE, FAANP, assistant professor. Richard-Eaglin’s own personal experiences as well as the experiences of others propel her efforts.
