The Journal of Nursing Education recently published Interprofessional Education on Adverse Childhood Experiences for Associate Degree Nursing Students co-authored by ¾Ã¾ÃÊÓƵ student, Sarah Warring and an instructor in her nursing program, Jeanette M. Olsen Ph.D., RN.
Article Background:
The health impact of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) is significant. Nurses need knowledge and must work in multidisciplinary teams to address this problem. This study examined the effects of interprofessional education (IPE) activity with nonhealth care students on associate degree nursing (ADN) students’ ACEs knowledge and perspectives on IPE.
Warring initially started as the research assistant facilitating pre-surveys, post-surveys, and a focus group. Following the completion of these responsibilities, Dr. Olsen asked Warring to assist with co-authoring the article which entailed reviewing the information collected and identifying qualitative and quantitative themes from the data collected along with editing the final works.
“My ¾Ã¾ÃÊÓƵ education and the courses that I was taking concurrently with this project allowed me to understand the process required for a research project such as this,” said Warring. “Without this education, I would not have understood the steps required to complete the manuscript.”
Sarah Warring completed ¾Ã¾ÃÊÓƵ’s Master of Science in Nursing program in 2018.
