Item Perceptions of Nurses Delivering Nursing Home Virtual Care Support: A Qualitative Pilot Study(Sage, 2023-03-22) Mills, Carol A.; Tran, Yvette; Yeager, Valerie A.; Unroe, Kathleen T.; Holmes, Ann; Blackburn, Justin; Health Policy and Management, School of Public HealthAvoidable hospitalizations among nursing home residents result in poorer health outcomes and excess costs. Consequently, efforts to reduce avoidable hospitalizations have been a priority over the recent decade. However, many potential interventions are time-intensive and require dedicated clinical staff, although nursing homes are chronically understaffed. The OPTIMISTIC project was one of seven programs selected by CMS as “enhanced care & coordination providers” and was implemented from 2012 to 2020. This qualitative study explores the perceptions of the nurses that piloted a virtual care support project developed to expand the program’s reach through telehealth, and specifically considered how nurses perceived the effectiveness of this program. Relationships, communication, and access to information were identified as common themes facilitating or impeding the perceived effectiveness of the implementation of virtual care support programs within nursing homes.Item Perceptions of Nurses Delivering Nursing Home Virtual Care Support: A Qualitative Pilot Study(Sage, 2023-03-22) Mills, Carol A.; Tran, Yvette; Yeager, Valerie A.; Unroe, Kathleen T.; Holmes, Ann; Blackburn, Justin; Health Policy and Management, School of Public HealthAvoidable hospitalizations among nursing home residents result in poorer health outcomes and excess costs.

Some institutions have developed and implemented integrative liberal arts courses enhancing effective study strategies with interactive methods of instruction, relative and practical content, and a learning environment encouraging a deep learning approach through reflection. As part of a larger exploratory qualitative research study, this paper reports on the contribution of an integrated liberal arts course, the Proseminar, on learning identity and the learning process of the adult student. The findings suggest that participants of the integrated liberal arts course experienced significant changes in their identities as learners and the learning process through reflective activities and self-exploration within a liberal arts breadth of knowledge: Increased confidence as a learner, awareness of varied perspectives, impact of life experiences on values, beliefs, and assumptions of self, and their role in the world.
