As a result of the outbreak of COVID-19 – also known as coronavirus – the NCAA announced in mid-March the cancellation of all remaining championship events during the 2020 school year. That was soon followed by athletic conferences, including the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC), suspending and eventually canceling the remainder of their competition schedules, as well as universities taking unprecedented measures to close their campuses in an effort to slow the spread of the virus. In this video series, you will hear from Golden Eagle student-athletes on how these changes have impacted their lives.

Background: Hyperoxia is known to be detrimental in healthcare, yet it continues to be a problem in mechanically ventilated patients. Oxygen weaning protocols have been discussed in many studies that have evaluated various outcome measures with mixed findings. A study completed by Cuevas et al. (2020) evaluated respiratory therapists' compliance with an oxygen weaning protocol. The conclusions of this study found that the protocol was often not followed. At a level II trauma hospital tertiary care hospital in three ICUs, patients' FIO2s were not being weaned in a timely manner. Due to the previous research on the risks of hyperoxia and poor outcomes, a conservative oxygen weaning protocol was developed. The aim of this study was to assess if implementing a conservative oxygen weaning protocol would improve oxygen weaning times in mechanically ventilated patients compared to the current oxygen weaning practice.

Patients presenting for surgical procedures must meet specific criteria in order to be deemed ready for surgery. Same-day surgical delays and cancellations often occur due to patients’ inability to follow preoperative instructions. The goal of this quality improvement project was to decrease the number of same-day surgical delay/cancellation occurrences due to patient nonadherence of preoperative instructions. The Institute for Healthcare Improvement’s Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) Cycle was used in order to test an intervention on a smaller scale in order to determine if it leads to improvement. An evidence-based, standardized preoperative instruction pamphlet was developed and distributed to the patients across three specialties at an outpatient surgery center over a four-week time period. Surgical delay/cancellation occurrences decreased from 4.94% in the pre-intervention phase to 0.57% in the intervention phase. All same-day case cancellations during this project occurred due to patients’ nonadherence to preoperative instructions, more specifically, fasting guidelines. Evidence supports using a standardized, evidence-based, written pamphlet for delivery of preoperative instructions in successfully reducing same-day surgical cancellations. Further research is needed in preoperative instructions for patients speaking languages other than English as well as for patients who cannot read.

The problem addressed in this evidence-based project is the lack of understanding of the relationship between mindfulness techniques, the stages of nurses' knowledge, registered nurses in the CICU, and the ability to prevent compassion fatigue. Registered nurses need to understand the concepts of mindfulness techniques, which could result in decreased stress. Understanding which mindfulness techniques help to avoid the symptoms of compassion fatigue may facilitate the design of education practices in the CICU for registered nurses during the various stages of nursing knowledge development. Understanding the concepts of nursing knowledge development and the relationship between mindfulness techniques is fundamental to successfully achieving and retaining qualified and healthy registered nurses in the CICU. ...This evidence-based project (EBP) aims to identify the relationship between the mindfulness technique, stress reduction, and nursing stages of knowledge to prevent compassion fatigue in registered nurses in the cardiac intensive care unit.
