Today over 3.5 billion people – more than half the world’s population – live in urban areas. It is increasingly evident that urban living is having a negative impact on the health of women and girls. We must better understand the complex relationship between urban living and the health of women with the goal of developing innovative solutions that make cities universally safer, cleaner, and more livable, not only for women and girls, but for entire communities.

Participants will hear from nonprofit and city leaders, healthcare experts, and educators; and be empowered to effect change in their own neighborhoods and communities around the world.

A Force for Health Worldwide “Nurses get things done.” – First Lady Michelle Obama Yes! Nurses do get things done, so I was thrilled and honored – but not completely surprised – when First Lady Michelle Obama and Dr. Jill Biden came to Penn Nursing in April to announce a major, nurse-led initiative. For the health component of their national effort, Joining Forces, Mrs. Obama and Dr. Biden called on nurses to meet the unique health needs of service members, veterans, and their families.

Because we are America’s largest healthcare workforce and most trusted professionals, they charged us with educating current and future nurses to identify and treat post-traumatic stress, traumatic brain injury, depression, and other combat-related issues. We certainly are up to the challenge. You will learn more about Joining Forces, the White House visit, and next steps for nursing starting on page 13. In that special section, we are proud to highlight our faculty conducting essential research that meets the objectives of Joining Forces and our stellar doctoral student, Lt. Cmdr. Pamela Herbig Wall, who is studying gender differences in the mental health of servicewomen.

A Force for Vulnerable Populations and Nurses Penn Nursing’s leadership role in Joining Forces is emblematic of our School’s global health reach.

This and our special focus on the health of women led us to create a new Center for Global Women’s Health, directed by the accomplished Dr. Lynn Sommers (page 4). Dr. Sommers and dozens of our faculty and students conduct research, launch educational initiatives, and provide healthcare in countries around the world.

Our global efforts aim to empower vulnerable populations and build on the growing strength of nurses – two sides of the same coin. The work of Dr. Linda Aiken who measures quality, safety, and satisfaction in the nursing profession; the research of Dr. Barbra Mann Wall who gives voice to nuns who are nurses and healthcare leaders; and the leadership of our midwifery faculty who are teaching women in underdeveloped countries

how to achieve safe birth are key examples of how our faculty bring the vital element of empowerment to global health efforts.

Of particular significance is Penn Nursing’s longstanding relationship with our peers in Botswana, under the guidance of Dr. Marjorie Muecke. On page 9, you’ll read how Penn Nursing is a vital part of the Botswana-UPenn Partnership, which just marked its 10th anniversary. On the heels of a February visit from Dr. Motshedisi B. Sabone, head of the school of nursing at the University of Botswana, we welcomed five of the country’s nurse leaders here as visiting scholars. With our faculty, they developed a pilot clinical approach to improve the care of surgical patients at Princess Marina Hospital in Gaborone. Their work together is ongoing.

A Force for Healthcare Reform and Novel Approaches to Health Of course one of the biggest stories of the summer was the Supreme Court’s decision on the Affordable Care Act. The role of nurses in the implementation of the ACA cannot be underestimated. Penn Nursing, in partnership with the University of Pennsylvania Health System, will set the course to increase the number of advanced practice nurses – and therefore the base of primary care providers – in the United States through the Graduate Nurse Demonstration project. I encourage you to read page 64 to learn more.

Equally important is the role of interprofessionalism – bringing health professions together to respond to a need, much as Penn has done in Botswana – in educating healthcare providers and in clinical settings. A symposium at Penn Nursing (see page 19) co-hosted with my colleague Dr. J. Larry Jameson, dean of Penn’s Perelman School of Medicine, demonstrated that we do not – and cannot – continue to have business as usual.

Then again, Penn Nursing has never been about business as usual. In these pages, you will find pathbreakers like Dr. Barbara Riegel (on page 26) who gave the Claire M. Fagin Lecture on her pioneering approach to heart failure; pacesetters like Dr. Joan Lynaugh (on page 33) who co-founded the Barbara Bates Center for the

Study of the History of Nursing; and technological innovators who developed games and apps for healthcare (page 18).

We continue to care to change the world, support leadership development, inspire innovations, stimulate research that translates to policy, and nurture environments that promote health and well-being. Thank you all for helping us while we continue working to achieve our strategic goals and meet our mission, all while maintaining the core values of Penn Nursing.

Together, we are a force for women’s health … and health around the world.

WOMEN’S HEALTH ABROAD The new Center for Global Women’s Health anchors Penn Nursing’s worldwide efforts.

From the coal towns of Appalachia to rural Greece to the villages of South Africa, Penn Nursing faculty find new ways to improve the health, and the lives, of women. The new Center for Global Women’s Health brings together this interdisciplinary collection of faculty and students who collaborate on women’s health scholarship, education, and clinical practice on global issues.

said Director Marilyn Sommers, Nu’72, PhD, RN, FAAN, the Lillian S. Brunner Professor of MedicalSurgical Nursing. “Our faculty have depth and breadth of work in global research, practice, and education promoting the health of women and girls in Philadelphia, in the U.S., and around the globe. The Center is a focal point for the generation and translation of that research.”

“This Center gives a shape and structure to Penn Nursing's rich history in global women's health,”

Dr. Sommers’ own landmark research focuses on risk taking, injury, and violence in vulnerable

… AND AT HOME populations. She has changed the paradigm of the forensic sexual assault examination with her finding that skin injury prevalence after rape is higher in women with light as compared to dark skin, regardless of race or ethnicity. This discovery has illuminated new areas of science for elucidating the role of injury in women after sexual assault. Her current work in Greece with Penn Nursing colleague Maureen George, GNu’86, Gr’03, PhD, RN, AE-C, FAAN, expands this effort to identify injury and toxic exposure among the country’s rural, medically underserved women and children.

Finding and strengthening research connections is at the core of the Center for Global Women’s Health – the seventh research center at Penn Nursing. CGWH officially launched with the symposium “Empowerment, Safety, and Health: A Global Mandate for Women and Girls” during Alumni Weekend in May. CGWH is Penn Nursing’s “home for dynamic research that will change the lives of women, their families, communities, and the world, and will provide a fruitful environment for the next generation of scholars,” said Dean Afaf I. Meleis in her opening remarks.

Women most often are the link to healthcare for their families, yet women themselves remain an underserved and high-risk population.

But despite the challenges women face, said Dean Meleis, “the world has seen the incredible power of women to make a difference in their families, their communities, and their world.

Across the globe, scientists, healthcare providers, community leaders, politicians, and

Dr. Marilyn Sommers, director of the Center for Global Women’s Health, is an expert in injury science.

philanthropists have recognized that improving the health, safety, and economics of our world starts with women.”

Tonda Hughes, PhD, RN, of the University of Chicago, who spoke on the social determinants of sexual minority women’s health, said the Center “is magnifying that focus on [health] differences that exist,” not only between men and women, but among heterosexual and homosexual women.

Penn Nursing has a long history of dedication to global women’s health. In the early 1900s Jane Delano, a leader in the HUP School of Nursing, had assumed leadership of the newly created United States Army Nurse Corps, the Red Cross Nursing Service, and the American Nurses Association.

“Jane Delano assured vigorous and effective nursing responses across the United States to disasters, epidemics, and emergencies and, by 1914, war,” said nursing historian Patricia D’Antonio, GRN’92, PhD, RN, FAAN, chair of Family and Community Health and the Killebrew-Centis Endowed Term Chair in Undergraduate Education. “When the U.S. entered World War I

APPALACHIA

They built it, but no one came. Health clinics in West Virginia were not drawing women for free PAP smears.

“They kept building more and more clinics,” says Practice Assistant Professor Wendy Grube, GNu’82, Gr’10, PhD, CRNP, “but no one thought to ask the women ‘Why don’t you come?’” One of the highest rates of occurrence of cervical cancer in the U.S. is in West Virginia. In its rural and medically underserved Appalachia region, Dr. Grube set out to change that. “I got to know the people and the cultural context – context is everything,” she said.

In a program that has earned funding from the Centers for Disease Control because of its success, nurses make the difference. Through twice-yearly visits to this lumber-and-coal region, Dr. Grube and her colleagues have built up confidence with the matriarchs of the community. “They trust nurses,” she says. “They don’t care how much you know, but how much you care.”

Dr. Grube considers the relationship “true community collaboration. It’s not our agenda, it’s theirs.” That agenda has grown to include door-to-door education about cervical cancer and confidential discussions about such life issues as child-rearing and alcoholism. The team added prostate exams and a reproductive health class 6

for the men of West Virginia. Their wives convinced them to go. “There’s no male analog to ob/gyn,” says Dr. Grube. “STDs, unplanned pregnancies … these affect women and men. Part of competency in women’s health is men’s health.”

Working with Dr. Grube is Penn Nursing student Jennifer Schockemoehl, Nu’13, GNu’15. Her

comparative study on the scope of practice of nurses working in West Virginia and rural Thailand is funded by an undergraduate grant from the Helene Fuld Health Trust, HSBC Bank USA, N.A. “When nurses are farther from the city and large hospitals,” she asks, “do they have different roles and responsibilities and differences in how they acquire their skills?”

And her larger question: “Without access to large healthcare facilities in rural communities, how do people get the care they need?” The answer, she asserts, is registered nurses, many with additional training to meet the needs of their specific communities.

Ms. Schockemoehl credits Penn Nursing with fostering her spirit of inquiry. “This is research in the broad sense – the expectation that you ask questions and, if you don’t have the answers, you search to find them.”

… and

THAILAND

in 1917, Ms. Delano had already recruited and mobilized the nurses needed for military service.

She was devoted to the nurses – then the only women allowed to serve their country.” She died in 1919 in France while on an inspection tour of Red Cross facilities. In recognition of her leadership, Delano posthumously received the Distinguished Service Medal for her exceptional service to the U.S. government.

Throughout the 20th century, HUP and Penn Nursing alumnae served in every major war and on medical missions abroad. Today, Penn Nursing students like Lt. Cmdr. Pamela Herbig Wall, GNu’05, Gr’15, conduct research on gender differences among military women under stress.

(See page 16.)

(The CGWH offers funding for pre- and postdoctoral research training in health equity and health disparities research to promote health in vulnerable populations. Dr. Sommers is the principal investigator on the grant from the National Institute of Nursing Research. In addition, five senior fellows from schools across Penn’s campus mark the “beginning of a major interdisciplinary effort to support women and girls” through innovative research and practice, said Dr. Sommers.)

In April 2010, Penn Nursing hosted the annual conference of the International Council on Women’s Health Issues (ICOWHI). “Change in this arena will require strong will, enlightened leadership, experimentation, a commitment of resources from local home governments, nonprofits, and the international community,” said Dean Meleis at the conference. There, ICOWHI issued a proclamation urging the establishment

HAITI

In countries like Haiti where doctors are few and far between and many mothers deliver in their homes without a birth attendant, midwives are critical to the reproductive health of women, and often to their primary health as well. In their ongoing efforts to prepare nurse midwives, Penn Nursing’s midwifery faculty are shaping curricula for developing countries. Their work is funded by a grant from the Office of the University of Pennsylvania Provost.

“One model is unlikely to work in all countries,” says Mamie Guidera, MSN, CNM. “However, the World Health Organization has said that it’s not the place that dictates the outcome, it’s the provider. Every woman should have a skilled birth attendant with her when she delivers. We are grateful for the opportunity to share our skills in a place so in need.”

On a recent trip, Ms. Guidera and Penn Nursing colleague Ellen Brodrick, CNM, ANP-C, MSN, offered workshops to midwifery teachers, and midwifery alumnae Carol Wong, Nu’08, GNu’11, and Amy Goh, C’01, GNu’11, conducted research interviews with students, faculty, and practicing midwives about midwifery education in Haiti.

Nurse midwife faculty and students also provide education and academic consultations in Honduras, Guatemala, Mexico, and Trinidad. “We’re working together to learn what makes a good program in these countries and if you can practice the way you were taught,” says Ms. Guidera.

With midwifery program director William McCool, C’76, PhD, CNM, Ms. Guidera travelled to

Haiti after the 2010 earthquake to assist with midwifery education.

Penn midwives worked side-byside with 12 students and two faculty members to provide prenatal care, deliver babies, and care for women and their infants.

of a United Nations agency for women. In July 2010, after years of negotiation between UN Member States and advocacy by the global women’s movement, the General Assembly voted unanimously to create a new umbrella agency, the UN Entity for Gender Equity and the Empowerment of Women – known as UN Women – to “accelerate progress in meeting the needs of women and girls worldwide.”

Women’s Health in …

SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA

How does religion affect healthcare practice and policy? Associate Professor Barbra Mann Wall, PhD, RN, FAAN,

studies this question through the words and writings of Catholic missionary nuns around the world. Dr. Wall, the Evan C. Thompson Endowed Term Chair for Excellence in Teaching and associate director of the Barbara Bates Center for the Study of the History of Nursing, revealed new perspectives on religion and health policy with her book American Catholic Hospitals: A Century of Changing Markets and Missions, and she now is extending this analysis in her work on sub-Saharan Africa.

She is guiding two Penn Nursing students in their related research.

Lauren Johnson, Nu’13, Gr’18, is a Hillman Scholar in Nursing Innovation, on a trajectory from BSN to PhD. Long interested in maternal health, this doula-trained student is researching the impact of Catholic missionary sisters on maternal healthcare services in Africa.

With an undergraduate research grant from the Helene Fuld Health Trust, HSBC Bank USA, N.A., Ms. Johnson aims to dispel the myth that interactions between missionaries and the indigenous population of African countries were “imperialist” in manner and intention. “There is another side to the story,” as Ms. Johnson is finding in her research in the Bates Center. “The 8

UPfront | Fall 2012

literature shows that the sisters listened to the voices of these women, took their concerns seriously, and really tried to work for them. I’m interested to know how they were able to work within native cultures to negotiate these partnerships.”

When Madeline Reckart, Nu ’15, started at Penn Nursing, conducting research was far from her mind. But, inspired by Dr. Wall’s work, Ms. Reckart is developing a literature review on sisters who are medical missionaries in Africa. “This is totally surprising to me,” she says. “I thought I only liked the clinical aspects of nursing, but historical research is fascinating.”

Ms. Reckart is studying oral histories and writings from orders of nuns during wartime in Nigeria and Uganda to learn how the sisters were able to practice and how they were able to connect with the local people even during times of threat to their own safety.

“Oral history tells us what experiences mean to the people themselves,” explains Dr. Wall. “It’s so important to get these stories that reflect the biomedical model but through a spiritual lens. Our research on Catholic sisters and healthcare in sub-Saharan Africa tells a larger, nuanced story that is not all about religion, though.

It is also about local, national, and international partnerships.”

Moving forward, CGWH will tell the “truth that is in all of our stories,” said keynote speaker Zainab Salbi, founder of Women for Women International. Since its inception in 1993, Women for Women International has helped more than 315,000 women survivors of war to rebuild their lives with social and economic opportunities.

As a woman who initially shared her story of rape and an abusive marriage only tentatively, Ms. Salbi learned that “to open my secrets to the world … was an act of courage” – one that more women need to make, she said. “The act of breaking silence starts by each of us breaking our individual silence.”

Working with women survivors of war, Ms. Salbi has found that they crave inspiration and disdain pity. “Stop saving us please,” they say. “Start saving yourself and come meet us as sisters.”

Quite simply, said Ms. Salbi, “Women are the emerging market of the emerging market, the force behind health, education, and happiness.

The Center is part of the story and part of the solutions.”

The Center for Global Women’s Health will tell the “truth that is in all of our stories.”

The Hope of Sub-Saharan Africa A decade of collaboration between Penn and the University of Botswana has nursing at its center.

Botswana is a country about the size of Texas with a population of some two million people. This is a land where diamonds and natural beauty have existed alongside the devastation of HIV/AIDS. Ten years ago, the University of Pennsylvania began a program training nurses and doctors treating HIV/AIDS patients. After a decade, the BotswanaUPenn Partnership includes research, an array of academic opportunities, and telemedicine.

Ongoing research projects, education, and healthcare efforts in HIV, TB, pediatrics, and women’s health include Penn Nursing and schools across Penn’s campus: the Perelman School of Medicine, Arts and Sciences, Law, Veterinary Medicine, Dental Medicine, and Wharton.

Nearly 40 Penn Nursing undergraduates have had clinical experiences in community nursing in Botswana through the University of Botswana School of Nursing and as part of the BotswanaUPenn Partnership. This fall, seven Penn Nursing students will travel with faculty member Lucille B. Pilling, EdD, MPH, RN, as part of N341: Community Nursing in Botswana. In this exchange, Penn students work in governmental and nongovernmental community health facilities.

Transcultural Education “Our nursing students are the ones who truly benefit. They learn about cultural norms, about being resourceful, and about how people with fewer resources than we have at our disposal are doing some things even better than we are – the learning is reciprocal with our partners abroad,” says Marjorie A. Muecke, PhD, RN, FAAN, assistant dean for global health affairs and associate director of the WHO Collaborating Center for Nursing and Midwifery Leadership.

“Students who come to our Global Health Affairs office usually tell us that the School’s global engagement is one of the reasons they come to Penn Nursing and that it prepares them for 21st century nursing and the importance of cultural competence.”

In a blog entry about their experience, several students posted: “… we can all learn from … our observations of Botswana nurses and value the cross-cultural ability of a nurse to recognize and respond to a patient’s physical, emotional, or spiritual needs to maximize quality of life at unique moments in time.” (For more student observations on global nursing, see page 12.)

“Our nursing students are the ones who truly benefit. They learn about cultural norms, about being resourceful, and about how people with fewer resources … are doing some things even better than we are.”

“Students tell us that our global engagement is one of the reasons they come to Penn Nursing.”

DR. MARJORIE MUECKE

Penn Nursing faculty collaborate with nursing faculty at the University of Botswana on a range of health initiatives and studies: Dr. Charlene Compher, Nu’80, Gr’99, GNC’01, is the

primary investigator of a multidisciplinary team from the University of Botswana studying the prevalence of adolescent obesity (sidebar); Dr. Loretta Sweet Jemmott, GNu’82, Gr’87, works on

the prevention of adolescent HIV/AIDS; Dr. Mary Ersek conducted a national workshop on

palliative care which led to an article co-authored by faculty here and at the University of Botswana School of Nursing; Dr. Victoria Rich has worked with the Botswana-

UPenn Partnership since 2006, bringing clinical professionals to consult on such areas as nursing leadership and hospital management; Dr. Anne Teitelman is developing programs for

women and teens to address safe sex; And Drs. Linda Hoke, Marjorie Muecke, Rosemary Polomano, HUP’74, Nu’76, GNu’79, and Marilyn Stringer, GNu’91, Gr’95, GNC’97, are collaborating with nurse partners in policy, education, and practice in Botswana to enhance nursing practice and patient care at Princess Marina Hospital in the capital city of Gaborone.

As part of the reciprocity between Penn Nursing and the University of Botswana, Dr. Motshedisi Sabone, the head of the School of Nursing at the University of Botswana, visited Fagin Hall as a

Dean’s Distinguished International Scholar during Global Health Reflections week in February.

Addressing Botswana’s healthcare issues in a cultural context is critical to developing successful approaches, particularly in HIV/AIDS, she said. Although deaths from HIV/AIDS have decreased dramatically, the prevalence of the disease in Botswana is the highest in the world at 17.7 percent of the population.

“I cannot just come here and say I am addressing AIDS, because AIDS occurs in a context,” said Dr. Sabone. “African countries must agree to seek AIDS funding that addresses the comprehensive health system and development rather than that which addresses narrowly defined HIV and AIDS progress.”

She recommended transcultural research with local citizens to glean an accurate understanding of meanings behind current health practices.

“Sometimes we wonder how people with HIV keep on having children,” she said. “We must understand their behavior. Life for these patients is not easy. HIV has dynamics, dilemmas, and complexities. Perhaps we can assist people if we know where they are coming from.”

Much of that responsibility falls to nurses, says Dr. Muecke. There are 700 nurses at Princess Marina Hospital and 10,000 nurses throughout Botswana. Princess Marina hospital has a nursepatient ratio as high as 1:40 with some patients on “floor beds.” Improving care and outcomes is a priority.

Nutrition in Botswana: A Double Burden The population of Botswana is in the midst of a “nutrition transition,” shifting from an undernourished population to one that is increasingly overweight and obese. The people of Botswana are moving to cities in greater numbers and reaching higher socioeconomic status, yielding overweight or obesity rates of 22 percent in men and 58 percent in women.

Addressing obesity raises the larger issue of noncommunicable diseases, but they are so far in the shadow of HIV that they are barely described in South African countries. On the rise there are high blood pressure, diabetes, and cardiac disorders, all tied to obesity.

UPfront | Fall 2012

Since achieving independence in 1966, Botswana has transitioned from one of the poorest countries in the world to an uppermiddle income country. The nutrition transition there has meant a widespread change from a healthier traditional diet of sorghum, samp (chopped and dehulled dried maize and corn kernels), maize, beans, groundnuts, green leaves, and meat to Westernized foods such as bread, savory snacks, sweet beverages, and candies. The changing lifestyle also requires less physical activity because of increased vehicle transportation and decreased manual labor.

“Our efforts in helping our Botswana colleagues with their project will continue to support evidence-based, team-based, multidisciplinary strategies and expansion to other units.”

DR. MARILYN STRINGER

The Botswana Nursing Collaborative To that end, five nursing leaders from Botswana came to Penn Nursing in June to develop an evidence-based model for nurse-patient communication, care, and outcomes through the newly established Botswana Nursing Collaborative.

The visiting scholars were: Margaret Lentlogile Molefi, senior nursing officer of the Botswana Ministry of Health; Sheila Sebopelo, infection control officer of Princess Marina Hospital; Patricia Mampane, a nurse manager at Princess Marina Hospital; and University of Botswana nursing faculty members Kefalotse S. Dithole and Dr. Lakshmi Rajeswaran.

The nurses worked with Penn Nursing’s Rosemary Polomano, PhD, RN, FAAN, associate professor of pain practice; Marilyn Stringer, PhD, CRNP, FAAN, professor of women’s health nursing; and clinical nurse specialist and adjunct faculty member Linda Hoke, PhD, RN, to design a clinical strategy to improve care of surgical patients at Princess Marina Hospital.

In a pilot study, the nurse leaders will employ a team-based, multidisciplinary approach called “Rapid Results” on a post-surgical unit to improve the quality of recovery. Beginning with pre-operative patient education and structured nursing care following surgery, the project team will share accountability for overseeing care and collecting outcomes for activity, nutrition, prevention of wound infection, and pain management. The project team also will

“The prevalence of obesity is increasing markedly in countries like Botswana that are undergoing rapid social and economic development,” said Charlene Compher, PhD, RD, professor of nutrition science. Yet the percentage of the population that is underweight is still significant: 20 percent of men and 15 percent of women, creating what Dr. Compher calls the “double burden of nutritional disease.”

As a Fulbright scholar in 2010, Dr. Compher was part of the international pediatric research group that conducted the first study to provide

collaborate to identify, develop, and ensure that the needed resources are available to clinicians to promote better surgical outcomes for their patients. A long-term goal is for this model to translate to other patient populations.

“Penn Nursing’s research and expertise in models of using evidence to guide nursephysician collaborative practice informs this endeavor to improve patient health outcomes,” says Dr. Stringer. “Our efforts in helping our Botswana colleagues with their project will continue to support evidence-based, team-based, multidisciplinary strategies and expansion to other units.”

This fall, Drs. Polomano and Stringer will travel to Botswana to help the team move the project forward and to teach classes in research, evidence-based practice, health promotion, palliative care, and interprofessional collaboration at the University of Botswana. Dr. Hoke, at the request of the Botswana nurse partners, will provide education to the nurses at Princess Marina hospital on such clinical skills as cardiopulmonary resuscitation and wound care.

“During our visit, we plan to introduce innovative teaching and learning methods so that educators and clinicians can work together in bridging partnerships to advance their teaching and practice missions,” says Dr. Stringer. “We will devote our efforts to assisting our Botswana nurse visiting scholars to translate what they have learned from the experiences at Penn into their academic and practice settings.”

empirical evidence of a nutrition transition in Botswana. Among secondary school students in Botswana, the team found that students in private schools and those with more assets had a higher prevalence of being overweight and obese than public school students. In two studies co-conducted with faculty from the University of Botswana, Dr. Compher addressed cultural differences between African and Western approaches to nutrition and obesity.

Data on 706 adolescents demonstrated the cultural shift toward snack foods in convenient “tuck shops” in the schools and the social

cachet of purchasing snacks. Gathering collective wisdom from school personnel, Dr. Compher and colleagues from the University of Botswana are developing culturally based interventions to prevent obesity including a physical education initiative.

“From an Afro-centric orientation,” the authors wrote, “[school] administrators suggested that the programs should promote a sense of community and teamwork rather than Westernstyle individual achievement and competition.”

Notes from the Field Introduced to global health as early as freshman year, Penn Nursing students can study abroad through programs in eight countries. Students reflect on their experiences through journals and blogging.

We went to an elementary school to deliver anti-parasite medication to the children and give a little lesson to go along with it. The medication was donated to this school by volunteers, like a lot of other things here. We read and acted out a story of a girl who never washed her hands, never washed her food, didn’t wear shoes anywhere, drank water from the lake, and went to the bathroom wherever she wanted.

Then, she got a parasite, and the doctor and nurse treated her and taught her all the things she can do to stay clean and healthy. This story is very pertinent to the community here. …

People have to boil water in order to drink it, wash the fruits and vegetables thoroughly, always use soap and water, etc., and many children get sick just like the girl in the story. We learn all the time in nursing school how important patient education is, and here we’re seeing the huge variety of patient education, not only in the hospital setting.

Yesterday I was on labor and delivery. This has been my favorite day of clinical ever. Often when I tell someone that I want to be a midwife, they asked if I have ever witnessed a birth, as a way of checking to see if I know what I am getting myself into, I guess. Well, now I have seen a few and I still want to be a midwife, more than ever. When we got there, our preceptor for the day, Dafna, told us about her two patients. One was having her sixth child and the other was having her second. We met them both and did a few things like straight cathing one to empty her bladder and put a new IV in the other. Within an hour of arriving on the floor, the mother who was having her sixth child was fully dilated and ready to push!

One issue that made me increasingly uncomfortable during our trip was the lack of motor vehicle safety in Thailand. I think this is a huge area that the Ministry of Public Health could tackle to reduce the incidence of accidental injury and death. It doesn’t seem to be in the culture to worry about helmets and seatbelts, as evidenced by children riding on the fronts of motorcycles with no helmets and in vehicles with no safety belts. This really bothered me. We had witnessed many people who were paralyzed or injured in accidents at the rehabilitation center at the Thungbopaen Temple and children who lost parents in accidents at the Viengping Children’s Home.

When we visited the rehab center at the Thungbopaen Temple, I was amazed by – and frankly a bit jealous of – the facility. I felt like this center was revolutionary in the sense that it was taking into account a patient’s support system.

The family structure in Thailand is such an important part of the culture and part of the responsibility of healthcare is placed on family members’ shoulders. Visiting this rehab center made me feel a bit ashamed that this was such a foreign concept to us. Why do we not incorporate family members into the healing of a patient? Why do we put our elders in nursing homes instead of learning how to take care of them? Why do we just take care of the patient for the short period of time that they are in our hospital beds and then send them on their way without any means of a followthrough? Visiting the rehab center raised more questions for me than it gave answers, and that’s okay as long as I continue to examine how we can improve our own system.

JOINING FORCES When First Lady Michelle Obama and Dr. Jill Biden sought to focus attention on post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury in military service members, they turned to Penn Nursing.

On April 11 at Penn Nursing with Dean Afaf I. Meleis, First Lady Michelle Obama and Dr. Jill Biden announced a commitment from more than 150 of America’s leading nursing organizations and more than 450 nursing schools in 50 states and territories to ensure the nation’s nurses are

prepared to help meet the unique health needs of service members, veterans, and their families.

Through the White House’s Joining Forces initiative, these nursing leaders have committed to educating current and future nurses on how to recognize and care for service people suffering

from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), traumatic brain injury (TBI), and other combat-related issues. Collectively, this effort will reach more than three million nurses in nearly every healthcare setting and every community in America. “[Q]uite simply, nurses are the front line of America’s healthcare system. Every day, with your hard work, with your skill, your compassion, nurses determine the quality of care that we all receive,” said Mrs. Obama. “We are all so thrilled to be announcing this commitment as we celebrate the one-year anniversary of Joining Forces. This was excellent timing. Because the fact is, your work is more critical for our veterans and military families than ever before. … While the majority of our troops and veterans return home with few or no mental health challenges at all – and that’s important to note – many do experience the so-called ’invisible wounds of war’.”

Introducing Dr. Jill Biden, Dean Meleis said nurses are up to the challenge. “Through Joining Forces, we extend our reach to embrace your courage and forward-thinking ideas. We pledge that we can and will do it,” she said to the 1,100 nurses, military personnel, and academic leaders in Penn’s Irvine Auditorium. “We are uniquely prepared and

positioned to meet healthcare needs in war time and peace time, in hospitals and communities, for minorities and majorities, for women and men, for individuals and families. We commend you for turning to nurses to improve the care of our military, our veterans, and their families. You have come to the right partners.”

Since 2001, more than two million U.S. troops have been deployed in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Military suicide rates have increased by 80 percent since the start of the Iraq war. Veterans with PTSD often feel out of place, are unable to relate to others, feel emotionally numb, and experience such problems as hypervigilance, avoidance, and re-experiencing the trauma. PTSD places enormous stress on veterans and their family members.

“We have asked a lot of our servicemen and women since September 11, 2001,” said Dr. Biden. “They and their families have responded to the need for more frequent and longer deployments. As they have done in the past, these troops and their families have stepped up with no complaint. … Making sure that they get the care they need is a priority for this administration and for Joining Forces.”

“Quite simply, nurses are the front line of America’s healthcare system.

Every day, with your hard work, with your skill, your compassion, nurses determine the quality of care that we all receive.”

Penn Nursing Experts in PTSD, Pain, and Trauma Military psychiatric nurse and Penn Nursing doctoral student Pamela Herbig Wall, GNu’05, GR’15, said that she and her nurse colleagues “are seeing many more occurrences of physical wounds, pain, traumatic brain injury, posttraumatic stress, and other mental health issues in our service members and veterans. That is why it is so critical that America’s nurses get the education and information they need.” (For more on Lt. Cmdr. Wall, see page 16.)

Rosemary C. Polomano, PhD, RN, is an expert in pain management, conducting innovative research on the perceptions of pain among military personnel and on battlefield analgesia. Her findings showed that regional nerve blocks and epidurals shortly after injury led to a statistically significant decrease in pain intensity and have the potential to reduce chronic pain, a crucial finding given the high correlation between chronic pain and PTSD.

Following the Joining Forces announcement, more than 80 nursing leaders gathered for a summit in Fagin Hall to shape the profession’s commitment to the initiative and to generate new ideas about ways to support the efforts.

They pledged to:

Therese Richmond, PhD, CRNP, is a leader in

• Educate future nurses to care for U.S. veterans, service members, and their families facing PTSD, TBI, depression, and other healthcare issues.

• Ensure evidence-based best practices.

• Disseminate the most current information related to PTSD and other health conditions.

• Add to the current body of knowledge to improve care.

• Lead the healthcare community in achieving the Joining Forces health goals.

Dean Meleis urged those present to “continue the conversation that our First Lady and Dr. Biden started. We were approached by the White House because of our numbers and our science. As nurse leaders, as nurse educators, we must take these steps to heal the visible and invisible wounds that wars and trauma inflict on our troops, our military nurses, and their families.”

injury science, conducting pioneering research on the psychological effects of injury and how to address those effects. In a National Institutes of Health-funded study, she found that even among patients who had relatively minor injuries, a substantial number had PTSD and depression, which is a precursor to PTSD, a year or more after the injury.

Marilyn Stringer, PhD, CRNP, an expert in women’s health, is expanding the understanding of the care of female service people and families in a nation at war. As associate editor of the Journal of Obstetric, Gynecologic, & Neonatal Nursing, Dr. Stringer published a special section on the leadership of military nurses in advancing science and practice in women’s health, including gender differences in PTSD. Mary Ersek, PhD, RN, specializes in pain and palliative care in older adults. Her work with the NIH’s Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) program and her leadership in the End-of-Life Nursing Education Consortium (ELNEC) curriculum are improving end-of-life care for U.S. veterans.

Salimah Meghani, PhD, CRNP, addresses pain management in low-income and minority patients. Her focus on racial and ethnic disparities in pain treatment can benefit active military personnel, veterans, and civilians.

LIEUTENANT COMMANDER PAMELA HERBIG WALL, GNu’05, GR’15 Combining a warrior ethos with compassionate care, Lt. Cmdr. Wall serves her country through mental health nursing and introduced the First Lady’s effort to combat PTSD. Soon after earning her master’s degree at Penn Nursing, Lt. Cmdr. Pamela Herbig Wall, GNu’05, GR’15, saw a young service member, deployed for the third time, in her clinic. He had experienced a flashback after watching a training video of an improvised explosive device attack.

On his previous deployment, the serviceman explained, he had been wounded by an explosive device while driving his Humvee and was sent stateside for treatment of his physical wounds.

“This young service member did not identify any symptoms of traumatic stress until watching the video one year later,” explained Lt. Cmdr. Wall, NC, USN, PMHNP-BC, PMHCNS-BC. “It was important to him that his treatment would not interfere with his mission. I used the clinical training that I had received from my mentor at the 16

Philadelphia Veterans Administration Hospital and was able to educate him about the neurobiological correlates of a stress reaction and treat him for it.”

As a member of the United States Navy Nurse Corps for the past 16 years and as a psychiatric nurse practitioner, Lt. Cmdr. Wall has cared for hundreds of military service members and their families.

“Military nursing combines a warrior ethos with compassionate care, enabling us to treat our nation’s wounded, ill, and injured,” she said.

“The specialty of psychiatric nursing chose me.

There was a need and my superiors identified me to fill it.”

As part of a combat mental health stress team, Lt. Cmdr. Wall helped the young serviceman in her clinic (and many like him) understand that his

flashback was an expected response to his traumatic experiences. She and her team provided cognitive and behavioral interventions, while maintaining him on full duty as he had requested.

“Because I had a targeted education, I was able to offer this young man the help that he needed,” she said. “Without this training, I could easily have misdiagnosed him or responded in a way that was not sensitive to his needs within a military organization.”

Lt. Cmdr. Wall recounted this story at the launch of the White House’s Joining Forces nursing initiative at Penn Nursing where she introduced First Lady Michelle Obama. Through Joining Forces, nursing leaders committed to educate nurses on recognizing and caring for service people suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), traumatic brain injury (TBI), and other combat-related issues. (For more on Joining Forces, see page 13.)

“The new Joining Forces initiative is so critically important,” Lt. Cmdr. Wall told the audience of nurses, military personnel, and academic leaders at the April 11 event. “The nurses who serve in the military and in other facilities across America are healers of mind, body, and spirit, ambassadors of hope, and respected health professionals.”

As of press time, more than two million service members have been deployed to Operation Enduring Freedom, Operation Iraqi Freedom, and Operation New Dawn. Almost half of those have been deployed more than once. Many have seen intense ground combat or have been providers taking care of patients with multiple traumatic wounds.

“Nurses like myself in federal healthcare facilities, community clinics, hospitals, and doctors’ offices are seeing many more occurrences of physical wounds, pain, TBI, PTSD, and other mental health issues in our service members and veterans,” said Lt. Cmdr. Wall.

“That is why it is so critical that America’s nurses get the education and information they need to recognize and treat these conditions.”

Since 2008, Lt. Cmdr. Wall has been program director and assistant professor in the psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner program of the

Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences. A certified compassion fatigue therapist and educator, she served as department head and psychiatric nurse practitioner at the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Md., with a focus on PTSD and TBI. Lt. Cmdr. Wall is a member of the Congressionally appointed Family Caregiver Panel, responsible for development of the curriculum “A Caregiver’s Guide to Traumatic Brain Injury” for the Defense and Veterans Brain Injury Center. She is also a member of the U.S. Navy Nurse Corps Professional Review Board.

Preparing nurses to recognize and treat PTSD and TBI is crucial, said Lt. Cmdr. Wall: “I have seen first-hand the difference this kind of training can make in the care that our veterans and military families receive.”

PTSD Hits Home in Healthcare Despite their growing numbers in the U.S. military, little has been published on healthcare providers or female service members from conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Lieutenant Commander Pamela Herbig Wall is strengthening that area of study.

As a Penn Nursing pre-doctoral student, she published in the Journal of Women’s Health on gender differences in response to deployment among military healthcare providers in Afghanistan and Iraq, showing that they were more likely than their male counterparts to show significant, stress-induced psychological difficulties.

In the Journal of Traumatic Stress, Lt. Cmdr. Wall and colleagues reported on gender differences in stress, coping, and mental health-seeking behaviors among military personnel, finding that the reluctance of women to seek mental healthcare may be related more with concern over career than personal well-being. The authors concluded that “results indicate the need for provider awareness concerning mental health-seeking behavior and sensitivity toward gender differences that contribute to unique manifestations of [stress].” www.nursing.upenn.edu

GAME ON! Top left: First-place winners – the MyDiaText Team Top right: Games champion Nancy Hanrahan Bottom right: Game developer Shannon Richmond

Penn Nursing students combined nursing knowhow, scientific savvy, and gaming technologies to solve pressing healthcare problems in a year-long competition called Game Solutions for Healthcare.

As part of the University’s Year of Games, Penn Nursing led interdisciplinary teams of students, faculty, and staff to create mobile health tools and applications to address healthcare issues using gaming technology.

Ten teams took their ideas from promise to prototype, hoping to win the inaugural competition, with winners announced at a symposium at Penn Nursing on April 19. The team members crisscrossed the campus with partners in biotechnology, systems engineering, education, communication, law, medicine, and at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.

“The winning entries bring fresh approaches health issues,” said Nancy P. Hanrahan, Gr’04, PhD, RN, FAAN, the Dr. Lenore H. Kurlowicz Term Associate Professor of Nursing who led the initiative. “Gaming can promote health education, awareness and treatment, and innovative nurse entrepreneurs are finding ways include gaming in research and care.”

Taking first place was MyDiaText, a text message system for children aged 10 to 16 to learn to manage their Type I diabetes. A team of students from Penn Nursing, Engineering, and Wharton, under the guidance of Penn Nursing faculty, created the app to motivate children with diabetes to practice healthy behaviors. MyDiaText is on track for use in the Diabetes Center at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.

“Studies have shown that text messaging has worked well in other populations, and 90 percent of teenagers who own cellphones text regularly,” said Terri H. Lipman, GNu’83, GRN’91, PhD, RN, FAAN, the Miriam Stirl Endowed Term Professor of Nutrition

and professor of nursing of children. “With the growing population of adolescents with diabetes, a technology-based intervention may prove more effective than traditional diabetes education alone.”

In second place was Trigger Busters, a videogame-style app to help children and their families learn about asthma. In third place was Healthy Cities: Healthy Women, an interactive game designed to raise awareness of urban women’s health issues.

Earning the Dean’s Social Impact Award was Mission Reintegration, a discussion-starter game for military personnel to prompt PTSD symptom recognition and management. (See Joining Forces on page 13.)

Shannon Richmond, GNu’12, MSN, had the idea for

the game after she completed her clinical requirement at the Veterans Administration, where she met Vietnam War veterans who, after decades, were finally recognizing their own PTSD symptoms and seeking treatment.

“I have so much faith in the game and the process,” Ms. Richmond added. “Because of the Nursing School’s healthcare initiative, I can turn it into something instrumental, something real.”

The success of Game Solutions for Healthcare has led to the development of a Penn Nursing technology and innovation lab for emerging nurse entrepreneurs and a related year-long course called “Innovation and Technology in Healthcare,” both to be led by Dr. Hanrahan in partnership with faculty from Penn Engineering and the Wharton School. And students are already warming up for a 2012-13 health technology competition and symposium.

Nurses and Physicians: Meeting of the Minds In the global 21st century, how will healthcare providers work better together?

A symposium at Penn Nursing demonstrated what interprofessionalism looks like.

While healthcare providers have long made efforts toward teamwork, it has remained just out of reach. However, Victoria Rich, PhD, RN, FAAN, chief nursing executive of the University of Pennsylvania Medical Center, with physician colleague Patrick J. Brennan, MD, has turned the ambition into a reality.

It’s happening on a complex acute care unit at the internationally renowned Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania (HUP), where many Penn Nursing students take their clinicals and eventually practice.

At HUP, Drs. Rich and Brennan established a new interprofessional paradigm, called unit-based clinical leadership (UBCL), to improve quality and patient safety. UBCL, used on every HUP unit, has reduced hospital-acquired bloodstream infections up to 100 percent throughout the hospital.

interprofessionalism, to determine whether it can live up to the promise of better outcomes.”

While the concept of interprofessionalism dates back to a 1965 report on medical education (sidebar), there is a “brewing enthusiasm for interprofessional education as the gateway for team care,” said Dr. Jordan J. Cohen, president emeritus of the Association of American Medical Colleges and co-author of the Lancet/IOM report.

“Team care is the pathway to better outcomes,” he said in his keynote remarks at the symposium.

“It will reduce errors, the overuse of resources, and patient and provider dissatisfaction.”

Nurses, physicians, and quality managers go on rounds together and meet regularly to discuss patient progress and discharge plans. Decisions about patient care happen in real time, informed jointly by this interprofessional team.

But, he asked, why is interprofessionalism so challenging? “Barriers to fully implementing interprofessionalism are huge,” said Dr. Cohen, “particularly in the current model of siloed, mono-professional clinical sites and crucibles of individualism – doctors with unquestionable authority; nurses with little authority; and pharmacists and others as ’slaves’ to doctors’ orders.”

This is a model for a new era, as called for in a 2010 report from The Lancet and the Institute of Medicine (IOM) on the imperative of interprofessional education and practice in healthcare.

The key to changing this landscape, he said, is converting health sciences education “from crucibles of individualism to cradles of interprofessionalism.”

Penn Nursing Dean Afaf I. Meleis, who co-authored the report, is pursuing its objectives, co-hosting two events with Penn Perelman School of Medicine Dean J. Larry Jameson in 2011-12: A lecture by Dr. Richard Horton, editor-in-chief of The Lancet last November (see upFront, spring 2012) and the symposium “Partners in Education and Practice: Stronger Teams, Better Health” in April at Penn Nursing.

Leaders from four health institutions reported on how they are changing what Dr. Cohen called “adversarial relationships” in an “entrenched culture” through innovative clinical efforts and educational programs.

“Discovering, rewarding, and imitating best practices is essential,” wrote Dr. Jameson in Penn Medicine. “So is making sure we have the best structures and the right people in place. Along with Dean Meleis, I am committed to exploring

“We are at a very different place than we ever have been before with different tools than we ever had before,” said panel moderator Mary D. Naylor, GNu’73, Gr’82, PhD, RN, FAAN, the Marian S. Ware Professor in Gerontology and director of the NewCourtland Center for Transitions and Health.

HUP is the first hospital in the nation using UBCL. “We act the way we need to be thinking,” said Dr. Rich, who is assistant dean of clinical practice

said Dr. Cohen of the AAMC, health educators are identifying complementary opportunities for interprofessionalism rooted in educational programs.

Among them are the University of Washington, at its Institute for Simulation and Interprofessional Studies, and New York University (with its school of nursing now led by Eileen Sullivan-Marx, HUP’72, Nu’76, Gr’95, PhD, CRNP, FAAN), both with presentations at the symposium. at Penn Nursing and associate professor of nursing administration. She explained that UBCL aims to build greater trust among healthcare providers, have them learn each other’s expertise, and improve communication. The results are tangible. Units throughout the hospital have seen infections decrease and cost savings increase.

On HUP unit Founders 14, reduced infections have yielded a cost savings of nearly $500,000.

Using models like this, “it’s time to bring up a new cadre, a new generation of practitioners,” said Dr. Brennan, who is chief medical officer and senior vice president of Penn’s health system.

Healthcare professionals around the country seem primed for interprofessionalism. Efforts at the Academic Health Sciences Center at East Tennessee State University are considered “such change agents that they have others at our university begging for the interprofessional experience,” said Michael A. Crouch, associate dean for academic affairs and professional education at ETSU’s Gatton College of Pharmacy.

Yet, unquestionably, interprofessionalism “is hard work, not ’let’s get together on a Monday afternoon to talk about it,’” said Dr. George Thibault, president of the Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation, which has supported interprofessional programs. “It’s not just cosmetic: It’s real work with real goals.”

But the “triple aim” of better care, better health, and lower cost is worth the effort, suggested Dr. Thibault. “Interprofessionalism should be part of preparing students to move out of the classroom and enter the real world of practice.”

While “interprofessionalism isn’t a substitute for traditional, in-depth, discipline-specific education,”

20

UPfront | Fall 2012

This kind of “reverse engineering,” in the words of Dr. Steven Wartman, president and CEO of the Association of Academic Health Centers, warrants more study for its potential to break down such long-standing barriers to interprofessionalism in education and practice. He pointed to a persistent “guild mentality” in individual health disciplines, current standards of regulation and accreditation, and “the misaligned incentives of the U.S. healthcare system.”

The time is ripe for change, said Dr. Meleis, in closing the conference. “We don’t have business as usual anymore,” she said. “This conversation should not stop.”

The IOM Global Forum on Innovation in Health Professional Education, co-chaired by Drs. Meleis and Cohen, indeed is keeping the conversation going. This international effort aims to cultivate new ideas through ongoing global, multidisciplinary collaboratives with formal partnerships among university-based health institutions that are undertaking recommendations put forward in the 2010 Lancet Commission report and the Future of Nursing report. The four innovation collaboratives are located in Canada, India, South Africa, and Uganda.

A Brief Look at the Long History of Interprofessionalism The 1965 Royal Commission on Medical Education report in Great Britain suggested that “co-operation of teachers from nonmedical faculties in pre-clinical courses is a welcome and practical inspiration,” and an Institute of Medicine (IOM) conference in 1972 included “educating for the health team.”

Through the decades, while other reports made similar recommendations and several health sciences schools around October 2010 The Future of Nursing report from a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation initiative at the IOM calls for nurses to be “full partners, with physicians and other healthcare professionals, in redesigning healthcare in the United States.”

November 2010 The Lancet publishes “Health Professionals for a New Century: Transforming Education to Strengthen Health Systems in an Interdependent World,” the report of a global independent commission, including Dean Afaf Meleis.

the country made efforts at interprofessional education and practice, the concept took the spotlight in 2010 when the World Health Organization defined interprofessional education as: “When students from two or more professions learn about, from, and with each other to enable effective collaboration and improve health outcomes.”

May 2011 The Interprofessional Education Collaborative, composed of six academic health associations, produces Core Competencies for Interprofessional Collaborative Practice.

November 2011 Dr. Richard Horton, editor-in-chief of The Lancet, gives the Deans’ Distinguished Lecture “A Bonfire of the Professions: Prospects for Global Health,” co-hosted by Penn Nursing and Penn’s Perelman School of Medicine.

March 2012 The IOM establishes the Global Forum on Innovation in Health Professional Education, co-chaired by Dean Afaf Meleis and Dr. Jordan Cohen.

SCIENCE IN ACTION Magnet Hospitals: A Life-or-Death Difference Choosing the right hospital may make the difference between life and death for very low birthweight infants, according to Penn Nursingled research reported in The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA).

Chair in Nursing & Healthy Policy. Babies born in for-profit hospitals showed higher rates of infection, which doubles the infants’ chances of dying; brain hemorrhage results in a six times greater risk of death.

In a study of 72,235 infants born in 558 U.S. hospitals, the researchers found that babies cared for in magnet hospitals were less likely to die, acquire a hospital-based infection, or suffer severe brain hemorrhage. While only 1.5 percent of births nationally are very low birthweight babies, weighing between 1 pound and 3.3 pounds, they account for more than half of all infant deaths.

“In absolute terms, the outcomes are 1 to 2 percentage points lower in magnet hospitals, which translates to 300 infants each year who could be spared each of these severe consequences,” said Dr. Lake. “Access to magnet hospitals can literally make a life or death difference.” The magnet designation, determined by the American Nurses Credentialing Center, recognizes quality patient care, nursing excellence, and nursing innovation.

“Babies born in magnet hospitals had 13 percent lower odds of death within the first week of life, 14 percent lower odds of infection, and 12 percent lower odds of hemorrhage,” said lead author Eileen Lake, G’96, GNu’97, Gr’99, CGS’01, PhD, RN, FAAN, the Jessie M. Scott Term

Violence Prevention Keeps It Real for Girls and Boys Briana and Damon, a pair of digitally animated, street-smart characters, star in videos aimed at reducing urban youth violence. Working with members of the West Philadelphia community, researchers from the University of Pennsylvania, Drexel University, and the Philadelphia Collaborative Violence Prevention Center created Briana and Damon to communicate antiviolence messages grounded in community-

based research. The researchers reported their findings in the American Journal of Community Psychology and launched the Briana and Damon videos on Facebook.

“Our question was: How do we get research back to the community?” said senior and corresponding author Therese Richmond, GRN’95, GNC’97, PhD, CRNP, FAAN, the Andrea B. Laporte Endowed Term Associate Professor.

“Community-based participatory research enables us to develop strategies for violence prevention side-by-side with members of the affected community.”

The researchers and community partners developed stories directly from research findings to bring them to life. Each of the five, one-minute videos has a single, distinct message: avoiding peer pressure, working hard, keeping calm, finding a role model, and deciding against retribution.

A Global View of Quality and Safety Problems in Hospitals In one of the largest studies of its kind, a consortium of investigators from 13 countries led by Penn Nursing in the U.S. and the Catholic University of Leuven, Belgium, in Europe, found that nurses who reported better working conditions in hospitals and less likelihood of leaving also had patients who were more satisfied with their hospital stay and rated their hospitals more highly.

Published in the British Medical Journal, the massive study – which in some countries involved every hospital – surveyed 61,168 bedside nurses and 131,318 patients in more than 1,000 hospitals internationally over the course of three years. The study found that in those hospitals with better work environments and fewer patients in each nurse’s workload, patients and nurses both reported higher standards of care and more satisfied patients.

“Patients in European and U.S. hospitals with better work environments were more likely to rate their hospital highly and to recommend their hospital” to others, wrote Linda H. Aiken, PhD, RN, the Claire M. Fagin Leadership Professor in Nursing, professor of sociology, and director of the Center for Health Outcomes and Policy Research.

However, the majority of nurses in every country expressed a lack of confidence that hospital management would resolve problems in patient care. Specifically the researchers found that: • High nurse burnout and job dissatisfaction were common among hospital nurses in Europe and the U.S. • On average, only 60 percent of patients were satisfied with their hospital care.

• Nurses reporting high levels of burnout (notably in Greece and England) also reported an intention to leave their current positions.

Policy implications for the findings suggest that despite the differences among the healthcare systems studied, particularly in terms of organization and financing, all countries encountered problems of “hospital quality, safety, and nurse burnout and dissatisfaction.”

In the U.S., just 14 percent of nurses reported their intentions to leave their current positions, possibly due to increased efforts in the U.S. to improve hospital nurse staffing levels. Having fewer patients per nurse has been linked to better outcomes for patients, including lower rates of death following common surgeries.

SCIENCE IN ACTION Food Stamps and Farmers’ Markets Current food stamp programs at urban farmers’ markets attempting to bring fresh produce to economically stressed city dwellers are so complicated for the shopper and expensive for the farmer that fewer people are taking advantage of the federal program designed to help them, according to research at Penn Nursing.

However, the costs associated with such systems may put them out of reach for farmers, reported Assistant Professor Alison M. Buttenheim, PhD, MBA, and colleagues, in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.

“Vendors told us, and we confirmed with a costbenefit analysis, that they would not be able to break even on sales after paying the associated costs,” Dr. Buttenheim said. “Our study highlights the need for an equitable approach to subsidizing electronic benefits transfer fees at farmers’ markets.”

Record numbers of Americans are receiving Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits, as food stamps are now known, and many SNAP participants live in neighborhoods with little or no access to healthy food. A study conducted at the Clark

Park Farmers’ Market in Philadelphia found that making it easier for vendors to collect SNAP payments with electronic point-of-sale systems increased fresh produce sales to SNAP recipients by 38 percent.

Patient Benefits and Burdens in Cancer Clinical Trials In one of the first studies of its kind, Penn Nursing researchers identified what cancer patients consider the “benefits and burdens” of participating in clinical research trials. From their findings, the researchers developed a model of the five elements of decision-making (physical, psychological, economic, familial, and social) that patients with cancer use to determine whether to participate or remain in a clinical trial.

These findings can help researchers address factors leading to participation in clinical trials and in ensuring voluntary, informed consent, explained Connie M. Ulrich, PhD, RN, FAAN, in The American Journal of Bioethics Primary Research.

“Understanding the benefit-burden balance involved in the voluntary consent of human subjects is a fundamental tenet of research and important to ensure that subjects have made an informed decision regarding participation in clinical research,” said Dr. Ulrich, associate professor of nursing and bioethics.

This study showed that both benefit and burden influence research participation, including recruitment and retention, in clinical trials. For some, wrote Dr. Ulrich, this “added burden” may not be acceptable while for others, participation is a way to “actively take control of a situation that is perceived to be out of control.”

Better Together – The RN and the EHR Electronic health records (EHRs) are rapidly becoming part of the daily practice of hospital nurses. In the first large study of its kind, researchers at the Penn Nursing determined that nurses working with EHRs consistently reported more improvements to nursing care and better health outcomes for patients than nurses working in hospitals without this technology.

A study of more than 16,000 nurses working at 316 hospitals in four states indicates that “implementation of an EHR may result in improved and more efficient nursing care, better care coordination, and patient safety,” wrote Assistant Professor Ann Kutney-Lee, GNu’04, Gr’07, PhD, RN, in the Journal of Nursing Administration.

At the same time, she wrote, “it is important to note that having a basic EHR was associated with better outcomes independently of nurse staffing, indicating that they both play an important role in quality of care.”

Nurses in hospitals with fully implemented basic EHRs were significantly less likely to report unfavorable patient safety issues, frequent medication errors, and low quality of care. These findings suggest that the level of detail available in the EHR may allow for more comprehensive unit transfer reports and discharge summaries to outside healthcare providers.

Supermarkets and the War on Obesity

Findings suggest that in-store marketing strategies can promote healthful eating through increasing availability, affordability, prominence, and promotion of healthful foods and restricting or not marketing unhealthy foods.

“Supermarkets are strategic and critical allies in the fight to prevent obesity,” said Dr. Glanz.

“Grocery stores can provide critical opportunities to increase access to healthy foods, including fresh fruits, vegetables, and lean meats, potentially improving health and

curtailing the rise in obesity. The next step is for key results of this research to be adapted and tested in real-world, in-store settings.”

Dr. Glanz, a Penn Integrates Knowledge (PIK) professor with appointments in Nursing and Medicine, is conducting a second study in several Philadelphia supermarkets where these methods are being instituted and monitored.

Using low-key strategies, supermarket chains and corner grocery stores can “nudge” consumers toward healthier purchases, reported Karen Glanz, PhD, MPH, the George A. Weiss University Professor and professor of epidemiology and nursing, in the Journal of Preventive Medicine.

Tales of a Broken Heart On the 10th anniversary of the Claire M. Fagin Distinguished Research Award, Penn Nursing scientist Barbara J. Riegel, DNSc, RN, FAAN, FAHA, spoke on her pioneering approaches to managing heart failure. This piece is drawn from her Fagin Lecture on April 5. Dr. Riegel is professor of nursing, Edith Clemmer Steinbright Chair of Gerontology, and director of the Biobehavioral Research Center at Penn Nursing. trouble finding subjects for my studies. So that was getting my attention.

Although cardiovascular disease continues to be the primary cause of death in men and women, there has been a decline in acute coronary events with all the treatment innovations that we’ve put in place over the past 50-plus years. That is, most people with coronary disease are treated successfully and live to develop heart failure.

Further, problems such as hypertension occur at a young age. The symptoms are insidious and sometimes ignored, so those people end up with heart failure after years of poorly controlled blood pressure. I put my career into this huge patient population.

The reality of heart failure is grim. One in every nine deaths is due to this progressive disease.

Quality of life is horrible. Symptoms are burdensome. The cognition issues, the fatigue, the shortness of breath – there are so many issues in these patients that really deserve our attention as researchers. And yet it’s astounding to me that we know so little about how to help heart failure patients help themselves.

A European study of 8,000 lay people in 2005 showed that most didn’t realize that the symptom profile of heart failure represented something serious. Most of them thought it was just a normal part of aging. It’s not a normal part of aging. It’s something we can prevent.

Sick at Heart Acute myocardial infarction was very prevalent in the 1990s, when I was starting my career. My dissertation topic in 1991 was looking at patients with acute myocardial infarction. But when I got into my research career, I was actually having

26

UPfront | Fall 2012

There is a very consistent picture among this group of patients with heart failure: Symptom recognition is poor. There is a dichotomy between what patients experience and what they actually recognize as a sign of heart failure. We asked patients: “In the last month, did you have this symptom and how quickly did you recognize it as a symptom of heart failure?” Sixty-five percent of subjects said, “Yes, I had that in the last month.”

But only 43 percent of those said, “And when I had it, I knew it was my heart failure.” And of course that is the issue. Patients have these symptoms and they just don’t put the pieces together. They don’t realize that they need to do something about the symptoms.

Heart Signals If we compare patients who are rehospitalized for heart failure and those who are not, their weights are basically the same until about a month before they’re hospitalized. That’s when the group that gets rehospitalized gains a little bit of weight – just one to two pounds from fluid retention – and they call that their new norm. Then they go along for a

    

period of time, they’re not really seeing any changes, and they’re thinking everything is fine.

Right around two weeks before they’re admitted to the hospital, their weight crawls up. And by the time they’re admitted, they’re just a few pounds more than the people who kept their weight stable by limiting salt and fluids or taking an extra water pill, and then they wind up in the hospital.

It’s a subtle change. Maybe it’s the subtlety that is making it so difficult to get across to patients.

We kept asking ourselves: “Why is self-care so hard in these patients?”

Self-care involves the choice of behaviors that maintain physiologic stability (or maintenance) and the response to symptoms when they occur (and that is management). Patients practicing self-care maintenance live a healthy lifestyle, adhere to the treatment regimen, and monitor symptoms.

Symptom monitoring is essential to making decisions in response to them (management).

Self-care management is an active, deliberate process that begins with recognizing a change in signs or symptoms (such as shortness of breath or edema), evaluating the change, deciding to take action, implementing a treatment strategy (such as taking an extra diuretic dose), and evaluating the treatment that was implemented (considering if it worked well enough to try again).

The beginning of self-care management is situation awareness, as in “I have begun to retain fluid.” If patients are adept at this aspect, they begin to think through and simulate the actions: “Well, if I gain another pound tomorrow morning, here’s what I think I’ll do.”

Taking Self-Care to Heart Getting on a self-care program and having patients do what we are asking them to do through symptom recognition, symptom evaluation, treatment implementation, and cycling back to “that really worked, I think I’ll do it again” really is an important process in people who have repeated symptoms. But it’s not a linear or simple process.

Following the treatment is really the foundation.

From there, the real skill of it is making decisions about symptoms when they occur, and that’s where I think the crux of the process is for these patients.

Now understanding this, we created the Self-Care Heart Failure Index (SCHFI, pronounced “skiffy”)

in the 1990s and updated it in 2009. This tool allows researchers to measure patients’ views of health maintenance, symptom management, and confidence in their own self-care. Today this instrument, in the public domain, is used worldwide and has at least 25 translations.

We recently did a study of how biomarkers change in response to self-care plans.

The study showed that heart failure patients who followed advice on self-care had lowered levels of myocardial stress and systemic inflammation, thought to be associated with greater risk of mortality. The results support our long-standing hypothesis that evaluating, teaching, and promoting self-care in patients can protect the heart against myocardial stress, systemic inflammation, and early death. Self-care works.

The Restless Heart

Could excessive daytime sleepiness be interfering with patients’ abilities to care for themselves? In her ongoing research of heart failure, Dr. Riegel is using an R01 grant from the National Institutes of Health to study the effects of sleepiness on heart failure self-care.

In a longitudinal study of sleepy and nonsleepy cohorts, each with and without cognitive impairment, Dr. Riegel found that about 22 percent reported significant sleep dysfunction and nonrestorative sleep and 23.6 percent reported excessive daytime sleepiness.

“If you think about what’s going on with heart failure, it’s a neurohormonal phenomenon with catecholamine release, which inhibits sleepiness,” said Dr. Riegel. “Usually if you have a lot of circulating catecholamines, you won’t be taking a nap anytime soon.”

However, patients noted factors that impair sleep, including waking to use the bathroom, pain, feeling too hot or too cold, coughing, snoring, bad dreams, and difficulty breathing.

Dr. Riegel found that sleepiness significantly affected medication adherence. “About 22 percent of patients really had significant problems with medication-taking, with a steep decline in adherence,” said Dr. Riegel. “The patients with a steep decline had excessive daytime sleepiness, lapses in attention, and were taking two or more medication doses per day. As former U.S. Surgeon General C. Everett Koop said, ’Drugs don’t work in patients who don’t take them.’ Of all the types of self-care that we measured, medication-taking appears to be most influenced by daytime sleepiness.”

Research shows that about half of all heart failure patients have trouble adhering to their medication regimens, leading to more emergency room visits, rehospitalizations, higher mortality rates, and higher healthcare costs. Said Dr. Riegel: “The role of sleepiness appears to be a significant link in this particular issue.”

Autism Specialization for Nurses Penn Nursing has established the first academic program in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) specifically for nurses. The program, designed for nurses who focus on pediatrics, school nursing, psychiatric health, and family care, offers academic preparation and practical experience in designing and delivering comprehensive nursing care for this unique, vulnerable population.

In the program, nurses will develop skills to screen and diagnose children with ASD; provide comprehensive care for concurrent behavioral, medical, and psychiatric conditions; and develop innovate approaches to integrate nursing care for ASD patients across the lifespan. The program consists of three graduate level courses and a clinical experience. Bachelor’s- or master’s- prepared nurses can earn a certificate and Penn students can earn a minor.

Directing the program are autism experts Jennifer Pinto-Martin, PhD, MPH, the Viola MacInnes/ Independence Professor of Nursing and chair of the Department of Biobehavioral Health Sciences, and Assistant Professor Margaret Souders, Nu’81, GNu’96, Gr’08, PhD, CRNP. She is a pediatric nurse practitioner with appointments in the Clinical Genetics Center and in the Center for Autism Research at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. Dr. Pinto-Martin is director and Dr. Souders is a member of the Center for Autism and Developmental Disabilities Research and Epidemiology (CADDRE) at Penn Nursing, one of six such centers funded by the National Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to work collaboratively to understand the causes of autism and the reasons for its recent increase in prevalence nationwide. Dr. Pinto-Martin recently established the groundbreaking link between low birth weight and children diagnosed with ASD. Dr. Souders has just completed a study describing a strong relationship between insomnia and anxiety in children and adolescents with ASD. “Nurses are in a key position to help families with the care of their children on the autism spectrum, care that can be complex and confusing,” said Dr. Pinto-Martin. “Nurses are trusted members of the healthcare team and their advice is always valued when families are facing decisions about health and medical care.

This unique program will help prepare nurses to translate the most current research on autism spectrum disorders to effective care for the children with this disorder.”

Autism expert Dr. Margaret Souders mentors Penn Nursing student Whitney Eriksen, who is studying cognitive dysfunction and autism. With Dr. Jennifer Pinto-Martin, Dr. Souders will lead the nation’s first academic program in autism spectrum disorder designed specifically for nurses.

PENN NURSING NEWS Getting Hospital Discharge Right Discharge Decision Support System (D2S2), a software tool to improve healthcare outcomes based on research conducted at the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing, has won the Janssen Connected Care Challenge and a $100,000 prize, awarded by California-based Janssen Healthcare Innovation.

D2S2 software helps healthcare providers reduce hospital readmissions by assembling and scoring key data upon hospital admission to identify patients who should be referred to post-acute-care services upon discharge.

The software was developed by a multidisciplinary team of researchers at the NewCourtland Center for Transitions and Health at Penn Nursing led by Kathryn H. Bowles, Gr’96, PhD, RN, FAAN, who holds the Ralston House Endowed Term Chair in Gerontological Nursing. Through Penn’s UpStart program, Dr. Bowles and co-inventor Mary D. Naylor, GNu’73, Gr’82, PhD, RN, FAAN, the Marian S. Ware Professor in Gerontology and director of the NewCourtland Center for Transitions and Health, licensed D2S2 to RightCare Solutions, a company co-founded by Penn, Dr. Bowles, and Wharton MBA graduate Eric Heil, who serves as the company’s CEO. A panel of judges selected the project as the winner from more than 100 submissions to the challenge. It also was recognized with a $50,000 award for being one of the top three finalists in the challenge. In addition, RightCare Solutions earned a $30,000 prize plus legal and accounting services as the winner of the Wharton Business Plan Competition in April.

D2S2 is based on a decade of research by Dr. Bowles’ team. A successful first case study at a major academic hospital demonstrated a significant reduction in 30-day re-admissions when the software was used to inform discharge planning.

“Discharge planners are overwhelmed with the volume of complex patients churning through our hospitals,” said Dr. Bowles, who directs the Center for Integrative Science in Aging at Penn Nursing.

“We are eager to support their decision making with tools like the D2S2 so our patients get the right care and achieve improved outcomes.”

The prize money will support further development of D2S2 and additional studies at four hospitals.

Penn Alzheimer’s Summit Addresses Care-to-Cure More than 50 of the world’s leaders in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) research and care convened at Penn in June for the Marian S. Ware Alzheimer Program Invitational Summit. At the two-day meeting, they addressed the multiple dimensions of this complex, challenging, and growing health problem, including drug discovery, biomarkers, clinical care and health services, and ethics and economics. AD often is complicated by multiple other chronic conditions and depression, and these and other factors affect the experience of both the individual with AD and family caregivers. Yet, explains summit co-chair Mary D. Naylor, GNu’73, Gr’82, PhD, RN, FAAN, the Marian S. Ware Professor in Gerontology and director of the NewCourtland Center for Transitions and Health at Penn Nursing, today’s fragmented care system is ill-suited for such complexity. Additionally, the group noted that the science underpinning the transformation of the healthcare system needs much greater investment.

To meet the call of the recently released U.S. National Plan to Address Alzheimer’s Disease, the experts framed their recommendations to be responsive to the needs of patients and family caregivers.

“Scholars, healthcare leaders, and policy makers need to simultaneously pursue multiple paths to accelerate progress in preventing AD while assuring that those afflicted and their family caregivers receive the highest quality care,” said Dr. Naylor. In pursuit of this goal, participants crafted a broad set of recommendations to advance the delivery of care and scientific discovery, in part by shifting resources, care delivery, social interventions, research, and training to the community and home.

Joan Lynaugh: History Keeper Courtesy of The Barbara Bates Center for the Study of the History of Nursing

It grew from an idea on a road trip to New Orleans more than 25 years ago and turned into one of the greatest nursing history centers in the world. This past April, nurse historians, scholars, and students gathered to celebrate the legacy of Joan Lynaugh, PhD, RN, FAAN, professor emerita and the 25th anniversary of the center she co-founded at Penn Nursing, The Barbara Bates Center for the Study of the History of Nursing.

Dr. Lynaugh had begun her career in nursing when she received her BSN in 1961 and her master’s in 1968 from the University of Rochester, where she first met historian Barbara Bates, who would become a life-long collaborator. While working toward her doctorate, Dr. Lynaugh came to Penn Nursing to establish the primary care family nurse practitioner program, and history was set in motion.

“On a trip with Barbara in 1984, we talked about work, history, and the desire of active alumnae at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania and at Philadelphia General Hospital to preserve their own materials and data,” Dr. Lynaugh said. “We didn’t know what we were doing and had to make it up and with that, the general form of the center emerged: preserving documents, doing research, and teaching new generations of scholars.”

With co-founders Ellen Baer, PhD, RN, FAAN, and Karen Buhler-Wilkerson, PhD, RN, FAAN, the Center formally opened in 1988. As news of it spread, the interest in advancing and disseminating nursing historical knowledge grew. The caliber of doctoral students and their understanding of how nursing history and healthcare affect the current nursing world became an integral part of the Center.

“As Joan has noted, ’What happens in the present is not an accident. It has a past.’ The past in effect anchors these modern issues in a framework broader than the here-and-now,” said Julie Fairman, GNu’80, GRN’92, PhD, RN, FAAN, director of the Barbara Bates Center and Nightingale Professor of Nursing. “That is what Joan is so good at – helping fledgling historians and even those of us with experience to see that history is about finding the data, constructing meanings, and accepting the absence of absolutes.”

Dr. Lynaugh’s connections across disciplines and around the world set the stage for the symposium in April, bringing together nurse historians, scholars, and current students. The 120 attendees focused on nursing’s role in the larger contexts of healthcare and policy history, challenges to the current state of the nursing field, the professional growth of nurse historians, and the role that Dr. Lynaugh has had in providing a rich home for historians’ work.

Today, the Bates Center is the largest repository of primary source materials and rare books about the history of nursing in the United States. The Center has more than 1,900 linear feet of glass slides, textbooks, pamphlets, photographs, and audio tapes that have provided the building blocks for dissertation topics, books, and articles.

“Joan’s understanding of history as part of the ’cultural DNA’ of the profession has influenced an entire generation of students, scholars, and clinicians here and abroad,” said Dr. Fairman.

From the Penn Nursing Alumni Board President Recently, I hosted an alumni networking event in Los Angeles. I was surprised when a Nursing alumnus introduced himself, then quickly apologized that he was not practicing in a traditional nursing role. We welcomed him, and he began to describe two businesses that he started and owns, sharing that the skills he learned at Penn Nursing were instrumental to his entrepreneurial success. His Penn Nursing degree taught him to take risks, to see possibilities instead of barriers, and most notably, the importance of networks.

In preparation for my 20th reunion, I served as reunion class representative for the Class of 1991 with my classmate and dear friend, Kate Moore-Martin.

Through our outreach, I learned that a significant number of our classmates chose to stop practicing nursing to raise families, and because of this, some were ambivalent about coming back to campus.

I share these two stories to illustrate a point: Whether you are a stay-athome mom, working in a nontraditional role, practicing in a clinical setting, writing health policy, building innovative technology solutions to improve health, educating students, or conducting research, your Penn Nursing education played a critical role and remains a resource as you grow personally and professionally.

As I assume the presidency of the Alumni Board, my top goal is to increase engagement with our alumni everywhere, from bachelor’s graduates through doctoral programs, including HUP alumni. All members of the Penn Nursing alumni community are having an impact on healthcare around the globe, and we encourage your involvement.

We want to hear from you.

We welcome your input and encourage your participation at nursalum@pobox.upenn.edu or phone 215.898.9773.

There are many ways for alumni to give back to the school. You may want to volunteer as a preceptor for students, be a panel member during Homecoming, mentor current students, give to the annual fund, be the class representative for your reunion during Alumni Weekend, or talk with students about job opportunities and interview skills.

Penn Nursing’s legacy is the result of not only our outstanding faculty, but also the amazing accomplishments of our alumni. It is the quality of our graduates with each passing class that increases the value of our Penn Nursing degrees. Each has made valuable contributions.

The Penn Nursing Alumni Board is here for YOU – enabling you to reconnect with fellow alumni and augment your relationship with the School. I encourage each of you to do so. Please explore the pages of our website, www.nursing.upenn.edu/alumni, to find ways to become involved and to reconnect. Join us as we strive to create a sense of community where our great tradition continues!

Go, Quakers!

President, Penn Nursing Alumni Board

From the HUP Nursing Alumni Association President This issue of UPfront draws our attention to the many ways that Penn Nursing is engaged around the world. I am proud to say that I believe this legacy of global-mindedness started with the HUP School of Nursing. From our school’s early years, HUP graduates took their education around the world, on the mission field, to both world wars and other times of conflict, and in better periods – like Betty Irwin, HUP’50, who shared the skills she learned from HUP with a volunteer role in the Peace Corps.

Our global experiences are rich and varied, and today’s Penn Nursing students gain unique insights by learning about our experiences. Whether you worked overseas or spent your entire career at HUP, please take a moment to share your story – by sending a letter, emailing us at HUPAlum@nursing.upenn.edu, or joining us at an event.

As another way of carrying forward our legacy, your HUP Alumni Board has also been busy since my last letter! New board members were installed at the spring luncheon, held on April 28th. Our friends from Penn Nursing, including Dean Meleis and Naomi Higuchi, past president of the Penn Nursing Alumni Board, attended the lunch along with several dozen HUP alumni. We were thrilled that the Class of 1967 used the occasion to hold a mini reunion.

The HUP spring newsletter detailed all the events of the 125th reunion replete with wonderful pictures from the celebration. Special thanks to Julia Davis, HUP’73, for putting it together. If you are not receiving the HUP alumni newsletter and would like to, please contact us.

Betty Irwin and I, a.k.a. “Florence Nightingale,” participated in the student spirit celebration of 125 years of Nursing at Penn on campus on April 18th. It was great to see both undergrads and graduates so interested in our history.

Scan this QR code with your smartphone to go directly to the HUP Nursing Alumni website.

Last but not least, many HUP board members attended the “Legacy Breakfast” with Dean Meleis at Alumni Weekend in May and shared stories from the good old days.

Penn Nursing Innovation to Educate More Advance Practice Nurses Penn Nursing has partnered with the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania to become one of five sites to be funded under the Graduate Nurse Education Demonstration, a national program to educate more advanced practice nurses (APRNs), who are a crucial component to the success of the Affordable Care Act. The research that was instrumental to including the demonstration project in the Affordable Care Act came largely from Penn Nursing researchers.

Increasing the number of advanced practice nurses is an important way to increase the base of primary care providers in the United States.

APRNs – nurse practitioners, clinical nurse specialists, nurse anesthetists, and nurse midwives – play a pivotal role in providing primary and preventive care to the public. In the past, the cost of clinical training has limited the ability of hospitals and other healthcare providers to accept more APRN students into their settings for clinical training.

Supported by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), five hospitals are partnering with accredited schools of nursing and nonhospital community-based care settings as clinical sites for APRN education. The Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, the largest clinical site for Penn Nursing, is among the hospitals selected.

Under the Graduate Nurse Education Demonstration, CMS will provide the partner hospitals with payments of up to $50 million annually over four years to cover the clinical training of APRNs as part of the demonstration. Payments to the

participating hospitals will be linked directly to the number of additional APRNs the hospitals and their partners are able to train as a result of their participation in the demonstration.

“The demonstration provides funding for the first time to clinical sites to offset their costs of clinical education of advanced practice nurses,” said Linda H. Aiken, PhD, RN, FAAN, FRCN, an architect of the Penn proposal for the Graduate Nurse Education Demonstration with Victoria L. Rich, PhD, RN, FAAN. Dr. Aiken directs Penn Nursing’s Center for Health Outcomes and Policy Research and Dr. Rich is assistant dean of clinical practice at Penn Nursing and chief nurse executive of the University of Pennsylvania Medical Center. Said Dr. Aiken: “The funds are also an incentive for schools of nursing to expand graduations from APRN programs.”

In the demonstration, half of all clinical training is required to take place in non-hospital settings in the community and will provide APRNs with the primary care, preventive care, transitional care, and the chronic care management skills needed to provide effective and well-coordinated care.

Students receiving training funded by the demonstration help fill gaps in non-hospital, community-based settings, including in underserved areas.

The demonstration program also establishes the Graduate Nurse Education Consortium of Greater Philadelphia which encompasses all nine local schools of nursing that offer advanced practice nursing education and their affiliated health systems and primary care sites in Philadelphia.

Another important innovation is an agreement between Penn Nursing and Penn’s Perelman School of Medicine that APRN students and fourthyear medical students will have preceptorships in pairs to foster interprofessional education.

“The number and caliber of APRNs who will come through the Graduate Nurse Education Demonstration are critical elements to the success of the Affordable Care Act and so to the health of all Americans,” said Penn Nursing Dean Afaf I. Meleis. “Penn nurses will continue to be ahead of the curve.”

The Norma M. Lang Distinguished Award for Scholarly Practice and Policy honors the dean emerita of the School of Nursing for her eminent contributions to health and science.

Dr. Terri Lipman is the Miriam Stirl Endowed Term Professor of Nutrition and Professor of Nursing of Children at Penn Nursing.

Renowned as a researcher, teacher, and clinician, she is an expert in children with diabetes and endocrine disorders.
