We describe 7 strategies our intensive care unit implemented to decrease the rate of hospital-acquired pressure ulcers. These strategies include the following: (1) restructured risk assessment and documentation, (2) translated numeric data into graphs for ease of understanding by staff, (3) increased staff awareness, (4) implemented "turn rounds," (5) increased prevalence assessments and redesigned structure of the skin team, (6) used evidence-based practice as a basis for care, and (7) created an Access database to track weekly prevalence.

Nursing student burnout negatively impacts students' health and potentially threatens the quality of care provided to patients. 1 Burnout is a psychological syndrome that manifests in response to prolonged stress and results in feelings of emotional exhaustion, insufficiency, and detachment from work. 1,2 Nursing students are especially vulnerable to burnout because they experience stress at higher levels than students in other fields. 1,[3][4][5][6] Research has shown that burnout is rising among nursing students as they struggle to cope with stress in academic and clinical environments. 7,8 Previous authors have found that 30% of undergraduate nursing students had symptoms of burnout syndrome, 9 with 97.8% at a moderate risk for developing burnout. 10 Nursing student burnout is a significant issue that leads to decreased academic success, increased attrition, and poor clinical performance. [11][12][13] Studies have shown that stress reduction can decrease burnout. 14,15 However, research evidence describing effective interventions that specifically reduce burnout in undergraduate nursing students is limited. A scoping review is appropriate for this topic to determine what is known about interventions for nursing student burnout. This review aimed to identify published research that evaluated the effectiveness of interventions to mitigate or prevent nursing student burnout. This scoping review was guided by the following question: What are effective interventions for nursing student burnout? Methods Search StrategyThis scoping review included a search of the MEDLINE (via PubMed), CINAHL (via EBSCO), PsycINFO (via EBSCO), and Google Scholar databases for empiric quantitative and qualitative literature for problem identification, data evaluation, data synthesis, and data reporting. Although this review was not registered a priori, a search of scoping review protocols in PROSPERO and Open Science Framework confirmed no registered protocols with a closely related focus were currently in progress.
