TNA VIRTUAL CONFERENCE | 2021: YEAR OF THE NURSE 2.0 - ONE YEAR WASN’T ENOUGH Problem Addressed: First Aid Training Increases Teachers’ Confidence in Providing Care for Students in San Eduardo, Ecuador Mary Evelyn Carroll, BA (Student Presenter) Anya Krause, BA (Student Co-Presenter) Zoey Williams, BS (Student Co-Presenter) In San Eduardo, Ecuador, there is a lack of pre-hospital services, first aid supplies, and access to healthcare facilities. The closest hospital is 15 km away, and there is no designated area to care for sick or injured children or community members. Objectives: By the end of this activity, participants will be able to: 1. Describe specific factors contributing to reduced access to basic injury prevention and treatment in a rural, global health population 2. Identify the benefits and challenges of implementing a virtual First Aid training workshop for an underresourced, “at risk” rural population. Methods/Procedures: Students implemented a virtual First Aid training workshop for teachers at Escuela Anne Stevens using PowerPoint and Zoom. Educational content included standardized materials from the “American Red Cross First Aid Training Guide”. The presentation was in Spanish, addressed individual First Aid needs, and indicated how to identify injuries, what to do, when to seek medical care, and how to prevent future injuries. To measure training outcomes, teachers’ confidence pre- and post-training were measured, along with the teachers’ self-report of satisfaction with the training and self-confidence utilizing the training materials. Content quizzes from the American Red Cross First Aid app were also used during the presentation to informally assess knowledge and increase audience participation. Findings: Eight teachers successfully participated in the virtual First Aid training workshop. The teachers’ confidence in providing First Aid care to the students increased 69.9% after the training. Surveys showed 96.8% participant satisfaction with the virtual training model and 93% self-confidence in mastering and utilization of the materials presented. Recommendations for Practice/Research: Providing First Aid resources and basic skills training to under resourced community members helps address the gap in access to healthcare in rural, global health populations. This simple and low budget intervention can be adapted to other at risk populations both in and outside the United States. Problem Addressed: “Got Grit!” Julie Windmiller, MSN, RN (Presenter) Many factors have been associated with nursing students’ success on NCLEX-RN. These factors have become the building blocks for admissions criteria into Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) programs. Robust grade point averages (GPA), strong science scores, and proficient Test of Essential Academic 58
TNA VIRTUAL CONFERENCE | 2021: YEAR OF THE NURSE 2.0 - ONE YEAR WASN’T ENOUGH Skills (TEAS) are a few of the must-have criteria. What has not been readily studied is the impact Grit can have on student NCLEX-RN success. A poster presentation will be used to provide knowledge about the power of Grit. Objectives: The participant will: 1. Identify current terms and characteristics associated with Grit. 2. Discover the relationship of Growth Mindset and Resilience within the nexus of Grit. 3. Articulate how Grit can be used as part of a nursing admission prerequisite to determine BSN student NCLEX-RN success.

(Student Co-Presenter) Jessica Levey B.S. (Student Co-Presenter) | Dr. Brittany Haskell PMHNP-BC, DNP, CNE (Mentor) Problem Addressed: Horticulture therapy is a type of occupational therapy that uses the science of planting, growing, and maintaining a garden to improve emotional health including, the expansion of social networks and the reduction of stress. Participation in gardening activities has the potential to lead to a decrease in tension, anxiety, depression, anger, and confusion in addiction populations. This quality improvement project was implemented at a treatment facility providing services to women 17 and older, located in the middle Tennessee area voluntarily seeking treatment for substance use, who may also be experiencing mental illness, trauma, and/or incarceration. Upon assessment of the facility via a windshield survey there was no productive use of the outdoor space. Objectives: The purpose of our quality improvement project is to fund and build a community garden, create a curriculum to promote mental health and well-being, and foster a sense of responsibility and community. Methods/Procedures: Nursing students found, by electronic survey for staff and paper survey for residents, that there was initial interest for an outdoor garden. The students applied for and obtained a grant to purchase supplies, implement the design plan, and create a gardening curriculum. Nursing students constructed a garden 59
