Nurses' Experiences of End-of-life Photography in NICU Bereavement Support

The use of simulation technology has introduced a challenge for simulation nurse educators: evaluation of student performance. The subjectivity of student performance evaluation has been in need of improvement. It is imperative to provide clear and consistent information to the learner of expectations for their performance. Educators use objectives to define for the learner what the primary focus will be in the learning activities. Creation of rubrics to replace checklists to evaluate learner performance is a team task. Improved rubrics assist instructors in providing valuable, immediate, and postactivity feedback and consistency among instructors, and improved inter-rater reliability.

Creating a Tool to Evaluate Patient Performance

Few health care professionals have received palliative care training to comfort dying infants and their families. One institution's development of a palliative care program in the neonatal intensive care unit setting is discussed in this column.

NICU perspectives on palliative care.

Translating new knowledge into practice requires sufficient time, administrative support, and access to current information. A regional level III neonatal intensive care unit was tasked with updating a best practice that challenged the history of its well-recognized success in this field. Using strategies that can be applied in any setting, this interprofessional team drove the successful adoption of the updated best practice using a multidimensional implementation plan to promote patient safety.
