A sthma is a chronic health condition that demonstrates a high burden on approximately 8.4% of children in the United States, with 60.3% of children diagnosed with asthma categorized as having persistent asthma.1,2 Children with asthma use the emergency department more often, compared with children without asthma,
AbstractBackground: Asthma is the most common chronic disease among school-aged children under 18 years of age and is a major cause of morbidity, loss of school days, and increased hospitalizations. Asthma disproportionately affects lowincome, minority youth in Alabama. The benefits of improving asthma control and self-management have significance for improving health, preventing disease, and reducing health disparities by addressing social, behavioral, environmental, economic, and medical determinants of health.
Objectives
The purpose of this study was to examine student and faculty perspectives of student incivility in the online learning environment and social media platforms and to describe the participants’ recommendations for promoting civility.
Methods
Mixed-method design was used to collect data from a convenience sample of students and faculty in a nursing program in the Southeast United States.
Results
53 faculty members and 203 nursing students participated, and the majority agreed that incivility is a problem to some degree. Several themes emerged for effectively promoting civility.
Conclusions
Incivility is a problem, but students and faculty believe the use of proactive strategies may be effective in promoting civility. Implications for International Audience: As more nursing programs move to the OLE, even if temporarily as occurred during the pandemic, coupled with the increase in social media use, there is need to recognize and implement strategies to thwart the incidence of incivility.
Evidence-based practice (EBP), communication, and interprofessional collaboration are all essential for safe, quality care. As members of the interprofessional team, nurse leaders are in a unique position to advance patient safety with a strategic plan, infrastructure, resources, reporting structure, and recognition program to guide the way. Leaders of a 152-bed children's and women's hospital formed an academic-practice partnership to create an interprofessional council to foster the principles of collaboration and EBP among frontline staff.
