In this episode, we explore the profound impact of Kelli Anspach MSN, CV-BC, NPD-BC, CHPN®'s thriving and sustainable training program, which has successfully trained more than 1,000 hospital nurses over the past 10 years through the End-of-Life Nursing Education Consortium (ELNEC) program, founded by Betty Ferrell PhD, MSN, CHPN®. By providing nurses with the essential skills and knowledge to lead compassionate palliative care conversations, this initiative empowers staff to facilitate critical "goals of care" discussions with patients and families. In this episode, Kelli and Brett discuss how this training not only enhances collaboration with palliative care teams but also drives improved patient satisfaction and better overall care outcomes. Additionally, the conversation takes a closer look at the return on investment (ROI) for hospitals and demonstrates how training nurses across all service lines is a cost-effective strategy to elevate patient care, boost nurse confidence, and foster a more supportive health care environment. With the right education, staff can empower frontline nurses across various serious illness service lines to make a lasting, positive impact on patient care. HPNA is proud to partner with Betty Ferrell and City of Hope to offer virtual ELNEC Train-the-Trainer courses twice per year.

Highlights From This Episode “More frequently oncology nurses are using intramuscular injection techniques when giving certain hormonal therapies for cancer treatment and for cancer symptom management. Some examples of those are fulvestrant for treatment of hormone receptor–positive, HER2-negative breast cancer, leuprolide as androgen deprivation therapy in prostate cancer. This is also used off label for breast cancer management. It's used for premenopausal ovarian suppression and also in noncancerous conditions like endometriosis and uterine fibroids.” TS 2:04 “Inadvertent injection into the sciatic nerve is one of the most common causes of sciatic injury. It has significant morbidity associated with it. And even for drugs like fulvestrant, the prescribing information notes reports of sciatica, neuropathic pain, neuralgia, peripheral neuropathy—all related to dorsogluteal injection.” TS 6:09 “When administering an IM injection to someone who is cachectic, you don't want the subcutaneous tissue to bunch up. So you can kind of stretch this over with your nondominant hand, as in the Z-track method, and then grasp the muscle between your thumb and index finger. That's going to help you ensure that you're getting that muscular injection.” TS 11:47  “Z-track is a way that you inject so that there's no leakage back out into the subcutaneous space. Clean your area as usual. You displace the skin and the subcutaneous tissue that's over that muscle, and then you inject slowly into the muscle. Once you remove the needle, then you release that tissue. And it kind of seals it over and prevents that leakage back up into the subcutaneous space.” TS 14:19 “I think ventrogluteal injection is less commonly done. There are documented issues with confidence in landmarking and giving it to that site, so practice is necessary. A great way to identify the ventrogluteal site on yourself to start is to stand up and put your hand at your side. You feel for the top of that iliac crest. Place your hand right below the iliac crest and then just start marching in place. You're going to feel that muscle contraction right away. This also works when you abduct your leg. Abducting the leg is helpful when a patient is at a side-lying position to give a ventrogluteal injection—you feel that muscle contraction.” TS 17:06 “I wish it would be front of mind to encourage adverse event reporting related to any injection you're giving. These types of reports—they drive improvement measures and monitoring. And then when things are underreported, it leads us to anecdotal reports. So really monitoring any change, trying to get some baseline data on adverse events with injection is really important.” TS 26:32

Navigating modern, meaningful caregiving. When caring for someone with dementia, their past is key to their present. Understanding their life story – their passions, values, and beliefs before diagnosis – equips caregivers to navigate a more meaningful care journey. These details aren't relics of the past; they are the very essence of who your loved one is, even when memories dim. By sharing this personal narrative with healthcare professionals, you empower them to make choices that resonate with your loved one's core identity. Imagine, for instance, a former teacher with a passion for literature. Music therapy sessions featuring classic poems could spark joy and connection, even if they can't recall the author's name. This is the power of weaving your loved one's story into the fabric of their care. Our Guest Dr. Allison Applebaum is an Associate Attending Psychologist in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK), and an Associate Professor of Psychology in Psychiatry at Weill Cornell Medicine. She is the Founding Director of the Caregivers Clinic at MSK, the first program of its kind to provide comprehensive psychosocial care to family members and friends of patients who are in the caregiving role. Dr. Applebaum's program of research focuses broadly on the development and dissemination of supportive services for family caregivers. She has published over 100 articles, reviews, and book chapters on caregiving, and is the editor of the textbook Cancer Caregivers (Oxford University Press, 2019). Dr. Applebaum has received competitive funding for her research, including awards from the National Cancer Institute, the National Institute of Nursing Research, and the American Cancer Society.

Ted Cruz (R-TX), who both endorsed Trump. Vivek even went on the road with him to New Hampshire to encourage people to vote for him. Tucker Carlson, who is supportive of Trump, noted that Trump's win was historic, but the media was dealing with it with some pretty hilarious reactions - with Chris Wallace looking "sick" and Joy Reid blaming "white Christians" in Iowa and calling them racist. They were very upset, he observed. But he warned that Haley might do better in New Hampshire, that she had been spending far more money than Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis there. She also has the support of N.H. Gov. Chris Sununu. He said a lot of Haley's money came from "committed Democratic partisans." She's gotten money from people like Democratic megadonor Reid Hoffman, who has been a supporter of Joe Biden, a friend of Jeffrey Epstein, and the guy who funded the E. Jean Carroll lawsuit. https://twitter.com/i/status/1747274232093110614 - Play 4:48-9:03 Never change Tucker…as always, you can find the link to Tucker’s video in my show notes. https://www.dailywire.com/news/federal-government-to-spend-700k-on-trans-inclusive-sex-ed-for-14-year-olds Federal Government To Spend $700k On Trans-Inclusive Sex Ed For 14-Year-Olds The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is awarding nearly $700,000 taxpayer dollars to back pregnancy prevention programs for young girls who identify as boys, warning that “heteronormative” sexual education is inadequate. The $698,736 grant, which began in September 2023 and will continue until June 2027, according to government disclosures, will be allocated to the Center for Innovative Public Health Research, a non-profit that seeks to create “an inclusive teen pregnancy program for transgender boys.” “Youth who are assigned female at birth … are at risk for negative sexual health outcomes yet are effectively excluded from sexual health programs because gender-diverse youth do not experience the cisgender, heteronormative teen sexual education messaging available to them as salient or applicable,” the award description claims. The Center for Innovative Public Health Research aims to provide sex education via a program called “Girl2Girl,” which the organization describes as “a text messaging based-sexual health program designed for cisgender sexual minority girls 14-18 years of age.” The center will then “test the resulting adaptation” in a national cohort of “700 trans-identified AFAB youth 14-18 years of age,” measuring their use of contraception and testing for sexually transmitted diseases, as well as pregnancy rates. The funding from the HHS specifically comes from the National Institutes of Health’s National Institute of Nursing Research. The National Institute of Nursing Research was given authority to spend a total of $57 million taxpayer dollars in fiscal year 2024. The Center for Innovative Public Health Research is slated to receive another $1.4 million taxpayer dollars from HHS to develop a “population-based HIV prevention program for trans girls,” specifying that the program will “address the lack of gender inclusive HIV prevention programming.” “Messaging will be gender affirming” and will “reduce internalized transphobia,” the award description adds. But the award for nearly $700,000 taxpayer dollars is not the only action that the HHS has taken to push transgenderism. The Daily Wire previously revealed that the National Institutes of Health (NIH), a subagency of the HHS, funded a study on the use of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormone treatment to the tune of $3 million despite transgender children’s hospitals admitting that the practice could result in permanent sterilization. https://thepostmillennial.com/exclusive-maine-moves-to-create-sanctuary-state-for-child-sex-changes?utm_campaign=64487 Maine moves to create 'sanctuary state' for child sex changes A Maine judiciary committee will decide on Wednesday morning whether a bill permitting minors to travel to the state to seek sex changes and granting the state custody over children will move to the floor. LD1735, also called An Act to Safeguard Gender-affirming Health Care, was introduced to the House of Representatives in the state in April of 2023 by Rep. Laurie Osher of Orono, and is cosponsored by Reps Erin Sheehan of Biddeford, Nina Milliken of Blue Hill, Suzanne Salisbury of Westbrook, Mark Worth of Ellsworth, and Rep. Matt Moonen of Portland as well as Senator Anne Carney of Cumberland. Courage is a Habit, a group fighting for parental rights in states across the nation, is leading an effort to stop this bill. Alvin Lui, president of Courage is a Habit, told The Post Millennial that people who do not live in Maine should contact the committee members as well as Maine residents as the bill "affects everybody’s parental rights." Sample emails provided by the group tell the members that "There is a lack of long-term studies on the benefits of 'gender-affirming care,’ which could result in the life-long sterilization and surgical mutilation of children," "With lawsuits against hospitals and schools on the rise in 2023, the public is becoming more aware of the potential risks associated with this bill," and "Protecting parental rights and the well-being of children should be our top priority. I urge you to vote "ought not to pass" on LD 1735." LD 1735 "prohibits the enforcement of an order based on another state's law authorizing a child to be removed from the child's parent or guardian based on that parent or guardian allowing the child to receive gender-affirming health care or gender-affirming mental health care." A law enforcement agency would be prohibited from knowingly making or participating in the arrest or extradition of an individual on an out-of-state warrant for violating another state’s laws on bringing a child to Maine to give sex change treatments. The bill updates rules on abandonment of a child or emergency situations, granting the State temporary emergency jurisdiction over the child if the child "has been unable to obtain gender-affirming health care or gender-affirming mental health care" because of a parent or guardian. The bill also prevents courts from finding a case was brought forth in an "inconvenient forum," or the wrong court, "if the law or policy of another state that may take jurisdiction limits the ability of a parent to obtain gender-affirming health care or gender-affirming mental health care for a child and the provision of that care is at issue in the case before the court." LD1735 "prohibits a court from considering the taking or retention of a child from a person who has legal custody of the child if the taking or retention was for obtaining gender-affirming health care or gender-affirming mental health care for the child." The bill mirrors similar laws passed in California, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Washington and Minnesota. Lui told The Post Millennial, "refuse to let your kindness be weaponized against you." "If you're wondering how you got there in Maine, wherever you live ... it's because over time, you've allowed your kindness to be weaponized against you and they kept moving that goalpost and now, even when they're proposing a transgender trafficking bill, they're still using emotional blackmail to try to get you to accept this," he said. Lui said that "they’re quite literally opening up trafficking avenues by inviting children from other states where their parents do not agree to transgender sterilization drugs and mutilating surgeries, and they're going to welcome these kids in Maine using your taxpayer dollars through Medicaid to pay for these procedures, putting them in foster care, opening them up to vulnerabilities like sex trafficking, like abuse, not to mention the lifelong, irreversible procedures and drugs that the transgender cult promotes." "So there is no slippery slope. You're here at the bottom now because they're willing to remove kids from parents, and the next step will be to remove your children from your home in Maine," Lui added, noting the instance of California. https://www.theblaze.com/news/teacher-of-the-year-says-he-was-reassigned-for-3-months-after-too-harshly-stopping-2-male-students-from-attacking-female Teacher of the Year says he was reassigned for 3 months after 'too harshly' stopping 2 male students from attacking female Kumar Rashad — who was named the Kentucky Department of Education's Teacher of the Year in September — told WDRB-TV that in October he was reassigned for three months after "too harshly" stopping two male students from attacking a female student. A math teacher in Louisville's Breckinridge Metropolitan High School, Rashad told the station after the incident officials reassigned him to "non-instructional duties" at the Special Needs East Bus Compound. WDRB said Jefferson County Public Schools wouldn't say why Rashad was reassigned — but he gave his side of the story Thursday, one day before he began resuming his teaching duties. "I saw two males attack a female, and I went to the female's rescue, and I removed the two students off of that female," Rashad told the station. "The two students said I removed them too harshly." Rashad noted to WLKY-TV that the two male students complained about him to the powers that be. He was not about to apologize, however, telling WLKY: "Please understand, in the community, in school, anywhere I am going, I will never allow a lady to be attacked by a male." Kentucky's 2024 Teacher of the Year reinstated by JCPS, says he was reassigned for breaking up fight-Play 0:30-0:49 Rashad added to WDRB that the investigation is over, and he was cleared to return Friday to the classroom — which the school district confirmed. https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2024/01/16/here-we-go-wef-hosts-panel-tomorrow-for-disease-x/ WEF Hosts Panel Tomorrow for ‘Disease X’ Klaus Schwab, the World Economic Forum (WEF), and the so-called global elites are gathering for a five-day annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland, from January 15-19. One of the topics on the agenda for January 17 has raised some eyeballs: “Preparing for Disease X.” COVID has been reported to have claimed approximately 7 million lives worldwide, but “Disease X,” on the other hand, they warn, “could result in 20 times more fatalities than the coronavirus pandemic.” Something interesting about people in power is that a not insignificant number of them also happen to believe that the world is overpopulated. If a pandemic 20 times as deadly as COVID did happen, claiming 140 million lives, would global leaders mourn or secretly celebrate that the world’s population was curbed? Yuval Noah Harari, one of Barack Obama’s favorite authors and a frequent speaker at Davos, has said that “the big political and economic question of the 21st century will be, ‘What do we need humans for?’ or at least, ‘What do we need so many humans for?’” Remember, in October 2019 — just months before COVID-19 was identified in Wuhan — The Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security in partnership with the WEF and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation hosted Event 201, described as “a high-level pandemic exercise.” Is it out of the question to think another so-called pandemic could be just around the corner? Doctors like Peter McCullough and James Thorp stress the importance of being prepared and having life-saving medications on hand for whatever emergency — pandemic or not — life throws at you next. “You’ve seen all the threats from the establishment suggesting that there’s not going to be drug availability in the not-too-distant future,” obstetrician-gynecologist and maternal-fetal medicine specialist Dr. James Thorp warns. “They tell us — they’re threatening us that there’s another pandemic coming. So, look at that and protect yourselves.” So, what should we be doing? “Stocking up,” urged Dr. Thorp. “I’ve been doing this since 1995 — always stocking up I’ve been doing that for 20 years, and trust me, even before the pandemic, it saved a lot of my patients and family members because when they need the drugs, they can’t get them.” The Wellness Company has put together a Medical Emergency Kit of eight potentially life-saving medications, which includes Ivermectin and Z-Pak, for the treatment of a range of illnesses, including strep throat, pneumonia, COVID-19, nausea and vomiting, and more.

The $698,736 grant, which began in September 2023 and will continue until June 2027, according to government disclosures, will be allocated to the Center for Innovative Public Health Research, a non-profit that seeks to create “an inclusive teen pregnancy program for transgender boys.” “Youth who are assigned female at birth … are at risk for negative sexual health outcomes yet are effectively excluded from sexual health programs because gender-diverse youth do not experience the cisgender, heteronormative teen sexual education messaging available to them as salient or applicable,” the award description claims. The Center for Innovative Public Health Research aims to provide sex education via a program called “Girl2Girl,” which the organization describes as “a text messaging based-sexual health program designed for cisgender sexual minority girls 14-18 years of age.” The center will then “test the resulting adaptation” in a national cohort of “700 trans-identified AFAB youth 14-18 years of age,” measuring their use of contraception and testing for sexually transmitted diseases, as well as pregnancy rates. The funding from the HHS specifically comes from the National Institutes of Health’s National Institute of Nursing Research. The National Institute of Nursing Research was given authority to spend a total of $57 million taxpayer dollars in fiscal year 2024. The Center for Innovative Public Health Research is slated to receive another $1.4 million taxpayer dollars from HHS to develop a “population-based HIV prevention program for trans girls,” specifying that the program will “address the lack of gender inclusive HIV prevention programming.” “Messaging will be gender affirming” and will “reduce internalized transphobia,” the award description adds. But the award for nearly $700,000 taxpayer dollars is not the only action that the HHS has taken to push transgenderism. The Daily Wire previously revealed that the National Institutes of Health (NIH), a subagency of the HHS, funded a study on the use of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormone treatment to the tune of $3 million despite transgender children’s hospitals admitting that the practice could result in permanent sterilization. https://thepostmillennial.com/exclusive-maine-moves-to-create-sanctuary-state-for-child-sex-changes?utm_campaign=64487 Maine moves to create 'sanctuary state' for child sex changes A Maine judiciary committee will decide on Wednesday morning whether a bill permitting minors to travel to the state to seek sex changes and granting the state custody over children will move to the floor. LD1735, also called An Act to Safeguard Gender-affirming Health Care, was introduced to the House of Representatives in the state in April of 2023 by Rep. Laurie Osher of Orono, and is cosponsored by Reps Erin Sheehan of Biddeford, Nina Milliken of Blue Hill, Suzanne Salisbury of Westbrook, Mark Worth of Ellsworth, and Rep. Matt Moonen of Portland as well as Senator Anne Carney of Cumberland. Courage is a Habit, a group fighting for parental rights in states across the nation, is leading an effort to stop this bill. Alvin Lui, president of Courage is a Habit, told The Post Millennial that people who do not live in Maine should contact the committee members as well as Maine residents as the bill "affects everybody’s parental rights." Sample emails provided by the group tell the members that "There is a lack of long-term studies on the benefits of 'gender-affirming care,’ which could result in the life-long sterilization and surgical mutilation of children," "With lawsuits against hospitals and schools on the rise in 2023, the public is becoming more aware of the potential risks associated with this bill," and "Protecting parental rights and the well-being of children should be our top priority. I urge you to vote "ought not to pass" on LD 1735." LD 1735 "prohibits the enforcement of an order based on another state's law authorizing a child to be removed from the child's parent or guardian based on that parent or guardian allowing the child to receive gender-affirming health care or gender-affirming mental health care." A law enforcement agency would be prohibited from knowingly making or participating in the arrest or extradition of an individual on an out-of-state warrant for violating another state’s laws on bringing a child to Maine to give sex change treatments. The bill updates rules on abandonment of a child or emergency situations, granting the State temporary emergency jurisdiction over the child if the child "has been unable to obtain gender-affirming health care or gender-affirming mental health care" because of a parent or guardian. The bill also prevents courts from finding a case was brought forth in an "inconvenient forum," or the wrong court, "if the law or policy of another state that may take jurisdiction limits the ability of a parent to obtain gender-affirming health care or gender-affirming mental health care for a child and the provision of that care is at issue in the case before the court." LD1735 "prohibits a court from considering the taking or retention of a child from a person who has legal custody of the child if the taking or retention was for obtaining gender-affirming health care or gender-affirming mental health care for the child." The bill mirrors similar laws passed in California, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Washington and Minnesota. Lui told The Post Millennial, "refuse to let your kindness be weaponized against you." "If you're wondering how you got there in Maine, wherever you live ... it's because over time, you've allowed your kindness to be weaponized against you and they kept moving that goalpost and now, even when they're proposing a transgender trafficking bill, they're still using emotional blackmail to try to get you to accept this," he said. Lui said that "they’re quite literally opening up trafficking avenues by inviting children from other states where their parents do not agree to transgender sterilization drugs and mutilating surgeries, and they're going to welcome these kids in Maine using your taxpayer dollars through Medicaid to pay for these procedures, putting them in foster care, opening them up to vulnerabilities like sex trafficking, like abuse, not to mention the lifelong, irreversible procedures and drugs that the transgender cult promotes." "So there is no slippery slope. You're here at the bottom now because they're willing to remove kids from parents, and the next step will be to remove your children from your home in Maine," Lui added, noting the instance of California. https://www.theblaze.com/news/teacher-of-the-year-says-he-was-reassigned-for-3-months-after-too-harshly-stopping-2-male-students-from-attacking-female Teacher of the Year says he was reassigned for 3 months after 'too harshly' stopping 2 male students from attacking female Kumar Rashad — who was named the Kentucky Department of Education's Teacher of the Year in September — told WDRB-TV that in October he was reassigned for three months after "too harshly" stopping two male students from attacking a female student. A math teacher in Louisville's Breckinridge Metropolitan High School, Rashad told the station after the incident officials reassigned him to "non-instructional duties" at the Special Needs East Bus Compound. WDRB said Jefferson County Public Schools wouldn't say why Rashad was reassigned — but he gave his side of the story Thursday, one day before he began resuming his teaching duties. "I saw two males attack a female, and I went to the female's rescue, and I removed the two students off of that female," Rashad told the station. "The two students said I removed them too harshly." Rashad noted to WLKY-TV that the two male students complained about him to the powers that be. He was not about to apologize, however, telling WLKY: "Please understand, in the community, in school, anywhere I am going, I will never allow a lady to be attacked by a male." Kentucky's 2024 Teacher of the Year reinstated by JCPS, says he was reassigned for breaking up fight-Play 0:30-0:49 Rashad added to WDRB that the investigation is over, and he was cleared to return Friday to the classroom — which the school district confirmed. https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2024/01/16/here-we-go-wef-hosts-panel-tomorrow-for-disease-x/ WEF Hosts Panel Tomorrow for ‘Disease X’ Klaus Schwab, the World Economic Forum (WEF), and the so-called global elites are gathering for a five-day annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland, from January 15-19. One of the topics on the agenda for January 17 has raised some eyeballs: “Preparing for Disease X.” COVID has been reported to have claimed approximately 7 million lives worldwide, but “Disease X,” on the other hand, they warn, “could result in 20 times more fatalities than the coronavirus pandemic.” Something interesting about people in power is that a not insignificant number of them also happen to believe that the world is overpopulated. If a pandemic 20 times as deadly as COVID did happen, claiming 140 million lives, would global leaders mourn or secretly celebrate that the world’s population was curbed? Yuval Noah Harari, one of Barack Obama’s favorite authors and a frequent speaker at Davos, has said that “the big political and economic question of the 21st century will be, ‘What do we need humans for?’ or at least, ‘What do we need so many humans for?’” Remember, in October 2019 — just months before COVID-19 was identified in Wuhan — The Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security in partnership with the WEF and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation hosted Event 201, described as “a high-level pandemic exercise.” Is it out of the question to think another so-called pandemic could be just around the corner? Doctors like Peter McCullough and James Thorp stress the importance of being prepared and having life-saving medications on hand for whatever emergency — pandemic or not — life throws at you next. “You’ve seen all the threats from the establishment suggesting that there’s not going to be drug availability in the not-too-distant future,” obstetrician-gynecologist and maternal-fetal medicine specialist Dr. James Thorp warns. “They tell us — they’re threatening us that there’s another pandemic coming. So, look at that and protect yourselves.” So, what should we be doing? “Stocking up,” urged Dr. Thorp. “I’ve been doing this since 1995 — always stocking up I’ve been doing that for 20 years, and trust me, even before the pandemic, it saved a lot of my patients and family members because when they need the drugs, they can’t get them.” The Wellness Company has put together a Medical Emergency Kit of eight potentially life-saving medications, which includes Ivermectin and Z-Pak, for the treatment of a range of illnesses, including strep throat, pneumonia, COVID-19, nausea and vomiting, and more. The full list is linked in the article in my show notes.

Meet Danielle Sarik, a dedicated pediatric nurse scientist who is committed to improving the lives of our most vulnerable population. I always enjoy hearing about how nurses first entered the profession, and I was surprised to learn that Danielle was inspired to become a nurse after working on global health policy with a nurse leader. As the Director of Nursing Research for Nicholas Children's Hospital in Florida, she helps nurses engage in research and become change agents themselves. I have a great deal of respect for nurses who help other nurses, and Danielle has certainly earned all of mine. I have to admit, I nerded out a little bit reading her many publications, and I really hope the generous billionaire listening steps up to support her next project, which focuses on improving maternal mental health.

Today we're talking research! But don't "change the channel" — you're going to find this both fascinating and easy to digest. In this conversation with Eleanor Stevenson, PhD, RN, FAAN, Ruby and Anne talk about the science behind fertility and why it's so important to patient safety and outcomes to keep up with the science. Some questions they tackle include: How is research conducted? How does data inform treatment? What are researchers looking for? How do they ensure the results are accurate? One special area of focus for Dr. Stevenson is stress and its effects on fertility. There's no question that the fertility journey can be very stressful for those with unexpected challenges: how does that stress impact the journey? What lingering effects might there be, even if treatment is successful? Another area of focus is the experience of those who identify as cis-heterosexual men in fertility. Men are often left out of the process in many ways, but what happens when there's a challenge with male-factor fertility (eg low sperm count)?  Eleanor Stevenson, PhD, RN, FAAN, is a Clinical Professor of Nursing at Duke University School of Nursing. She received her BS in Nursing from Rutgers University College of Nursing–New Brunswick, and her MS as a Women's Health Nurse Practitioner from Rutgers University College of Nursing–Newark. She received her PhD in Nursing Research and Theory Development from New York University College of Nursing. Her area of inquiry focuses on the multidimensional psychological stress women who have conceived pregnancies via in-vitro fertilization experience as well as the adaptive behaviors of men with male-factor infertility. She is also engaged in inquiry about how men can increase access to primary care via female-facing care models such as infertility treatment and family planning. Dr. Stevenson's clinical career has focused on women's health issues including clinical practice in various settings such as high-risk labor and delivery, mother-baby, antepartum, family planning, and infertility services. Dr. Stevenson has also applied her clinical expertise in research and development of women's health and infertility medications.  Learn more about Dr. Stevenson here: https://scholars.duke.edu/person/eleanor.stevenson

She has strong professional skills in Perinatal Medicine, Molecular Biology, Reproductive Immunology Microbiome, Pregnancy, Healthcare, Biomarkers, Discovery Research, Clinical Research, and Translational Research. In this episode, Dr. Elovitz speaks with Fempower Health on an innovation Mirvie is currently focused on: preventing pregnancy complications, in particular, preeclampsia (dangerous blood pressure elevation during pregnancy). Despite the U.S. having the highest maternal mortality rate among developed countries, health risks in pregnancy have remained understudied, underfunded, and underserved.  Pregnancy complications such as preeclampsia, preterm birth, and gestational diabetes impact 1 in 5 women. But with no accurate way to predict these conditions before symptoms appear, both moms and babies enter crisis mode when diagnosed in their third trimester.

Shannon Westin and Virginia Sun discuss the JCO article "Patient-Reported Outcome-Based Symptom Management Versus Usual Care After Lung Cancer Surgery: A Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial"   TRANSCRIPT Speaker 1: The guest on this podcast episode has no disclosures to declare. Dr. Shannon Westin: Hello everyone. This is Dr. Shannon Westin, your JCO Social Media Editor here with another episode of Journal Clinical of Oncology After Hours Podcast. So excited to bring you in depth discussion on some of the amazing studies and manuscripts that have been published in the JCO. I am joined today by Dr. Virginia Sun, who's Associate Professor in the Division of Nursing Research and Education and the Department of Population Sciences Education at City of Hope. Dr. Shannon Westin: She has 17 years experiences as an oncology nurse, four years experience as a nurse practitioner, before becoming a full-time nurse scientist. And her research program is meant to develop and test interventions to improve patient and family-centered care and outcomes, specifically on cancer surgery and cancer survivorship populations. And what better person to have with us today as we're discussing the article, Patient Reported Outcome Based Symptom Management Versus Usual Care After Lung Cancer Surgery, a multi-center randomized control trial by Dr. Dye and colleagues. So welcome, Dr. Sun. So excited to chat with you today. Dr. Virginia Sun: Thank you so much for the opportunity to be here. Dr. Shannon Westin: So let's get right into it. I think this article caught several of the editors' attention, because it really is an exciting [inaudible 00:01:42] into how we might take care of patients after surgery. And as a surgeon myself, I was completely intrigued so I can't wait to get your perspective. So let's start off first, the author's note that patients with lung cancer have a high symptom burden after surgery, as a non lung cancer expert, can you walk those of us through a typical post op course and some of the issues that might be experienced by these patients? Dr. Virginia Sun: Sure. So, I think symptoms is something that probably all of our patients who just underwent surgery experience. But for our patients with lung cancer, some of the common symptoms would include pain. I think pain is one of those universal symptoms that many of our patients experience after a procedure. But particularly for this population, they would also experience shortness of breath, of course, because anatomically there were certain parts of their lung that were removed as part of the procedure. Dr. Virginia Sun: Cough is something that they would experience regularly as well. And I think sleep disturbance is one of those general symptoms that all of our patients may experience. And also just emotionally, the anxiety perhaps, and the stress may continue probably in the immediate post op timeframe when they just transition home. And then also the functional decline, also happening along with the fatigue. Many of our patients, although we get them up and out of bed as soon as possible, as a nurse, I know that's generally sort of our responsibility in the post-op recovery period. Certainly fatigue and the functional decline is something that our patients will experience in this population as well. Dr. Shannon Westin: Certainly many of those are universal across what we see in patients in the postoperative period. But I know personally, and I'm sure you could speak to this as well, we're busy post op, right? Especially whether you're rounding in the hospital, or you're seeing patients in post op in the clinic, I don't know how much we really get super deep dive into a lot of these symptoms. So I think that's what makes this work so important. So I'll just have you, if you could, briefly discuss this study design that was performed by Dr. Dye, and Dr. She, and their colleagues. Dr. Virginia Sun: Sure. So the intervention is really patient report outcome based symptom management. And this is done by way of alerts and completion of the MD Anderson Symptom Inventory, which is very well known symptom inventory tool well validated within this population as well. And also when patients share that information after surgery, and while they're recovering in the hospital, that will prompt an alert. So there were predetermined thresholds by way of the symptom score. So if a patient on the trial that reported a four to 10, which is generally a moderate to severe intensity for a symptom, and that will trigger an alert to the surgeon and the surgical team for management purposes. Dr. Virginia Sun: Now, in terms of this trial, the investigators chose several very relevant symptoms to focus on for this population to assess. And that would include pain, fatigue, cough, shortness of breath, and sleep disturbance, although the MD Anderson's Symptom Inventory does cover more of symptoms and beyond those as well. And in addition, I think, to the surgeons in response to the alerts, there were also other management, I think, that were triggered from the alert itself. So there may have been other services that were triggered as part of the intervention. But the first line of response to the alert were from the surgeons for this particular trial. Dr. Virginia Sun: So the patients after they were discharged home continued to provide, I believe, twice weekly symptom information by way of completing the MD Anderson Symptom Inventory. These are all done electronically, and then the alerts I think were continued. And this was done up to four weeks post discharge. And they also did include on data that's collected in the pre-op setting, I think, one baseline, and then after post-op there were several data collection time points. In the hospitalization period I believe it was a daily symptom report, and then after they return home in the first four weeks, it's I think twice a week. Dr. Shannon Westin: I think it's perfect to have a way to automatically alert the surgeon and their team. Because again if we just don't have time to engage on that level with the patients on.... Can you imagine every day your team having to call? Just the amount of operationalizing that that would take, it would just be bonkers. And so I love this because I'm already kind of thinking tick, tick, tick in my mind, "Okay, how would I incorporate this to the patients of mine that are in the postop setting?" So tell us, should I do that? What are the benefits of incorporating patient reported outcomes into the post op care? And then of course, were there any negatives to the strategy? Dr. Virginia Sun: Sure. I think we have quite a bit of evidence now by way of patient report outcomes guided management. This was done in many different settings, I think primarily starting in the chemotherapy setting, but now more and more in the surgery population as well. And so I think first and foremost, it's a great way to make care more patient centered, right? Everything is driven by the patient's needs. And everyone may be presenting different symptoms at the same time, even though there are common symptoms that we may see from patients with lung cancer after surgery. But it makes it really personalized and relevant to each of the individual patients. Dr. Virginia Sun: Another way I think about it is sort of the proactive versus reactive approach of postoperative care. In most settings, perhaps, I don't want to say all, but certainly in most settings our approach to postoperative management, while the patients are at home and in the community, I think are more largely reactive. So most of the time we may... We have information that we give to patients, "If you are having any symptoms, or you're meeting any of these criteria where you have a fever or anything like that, please call us." And many institutions may have a phone number that patients can contact during business hours or after hours. Dr. Virginia Sun: But this approach gives patient an opportunity and places to contact us when they're experiencing challenges. But it relies on the patients, right? So it's still the patients who need to remember that, "Oh, I need to call when I have these things." In most situations unfortunately, it may be a little too late. We may get a phone call from patients or families when it's kind of at a crisis mode and we need to bring them in or they need to be you readmitted. So I think the patient reported outcomes approach to me is more of a proactive way. Dr. Virginia Sun: The patients share their information with us at certain time points, during the perioperative setting or postoperative setting. And the healthcare team and oncology team, the surgical team, somebody on that team is the one who is monitoring or getting the alerts from this team, and then we proactively contact the patients to perhaps assess and manage. So I think another way that I kind of tend to look at it is that, the responsibility is really on the healthcare team to sort of act on the patient's information rather than sort of more of the reactive approach, where we wait for patients to call us when they're having pain issues, when they're having sleep disturbance issues, or shortness of breath issues. By that, it kind of makes also for a more patient centered approach too that patients have a way communicate with us and they know that someone is on the other end that will be reacting. Dr. Shannon Westin: Well, and I think some of the symptoms that you're covering, I feel like patients will call for, "Oh, gosh, I'm really short of breath, or my pain is uncontrolled." People feel really comfortable with that. But some of the other things like, "Well, I'm not sleeping that well," or some of the other things that could be precautious to a worse issue, exactly to your point, they may not call early on, and then you get behind the eight ball and you're in a really serious situation. Dr. Shannon Westin: So I do. I like this and I like that they know, "Okay, there's someone on the other end of this. I'm not just shouting my issues out into the ether. Someone is going to hear this and respond." And then conversely, the care team is prepared. They know, "Okay, these are coming in and these are the triggers. These are the thresholds at which we're going to mobilize what. Okay, we're going to get pulmonology involved for this, so we're going to bring the patient into clinic to have them look at a wound," or whatever. I think to me, this makes so much sense. Do you see any negative? How's the burden on the patient, I guess, is one obvious question. Dr. Virginia Sun: From this trial, we see that the investigators did assess and try to examine sort of the burden on both the patients, and I believe the surgical team as well. And the patients were very favorable in their response in terms of the system, because it's another way for them to communicate with the care team. Especially for our surgery patients who were before surgery at home, right? There may be had been some visits, but they're mainly out of the community, and in the home setting. And then of course, when they're discharged after. Dr. Virginia Sun: So one of the things I think we should think about is, this is of course.... And this is a great study but it's done in, I would think, a different healthcare system. So this is a study out of China. And so is it replicable, perhaps, within the United States Healthcare System, where there may be differences in terms of when we get patients into the OR versus sort of the care that's provided after. And who will be monitoring this information? It's great to see that the surgeons, and I think the data from this trial shows that on average, it took them three minutes to manage some of the symptom alerts, which is great. Three minutes, it's actually really, really amazingly quick, right? Dr. Shannon Westin: That's incredible for that. Dr. Virginia Sun: I know. Dr. Shannon Westin: Well, which Is great. Dr. Virginia Sun: But is it possible for example, within a healthcare system in the United States? And of course within the United States different healthcare systems have different systems too. And so it's identifying who are the people that are going to be receiving this information, and then are there resources for them to be able to react in a timely fashion? And then communication processes in place with the surgeon and the surgical team, if there is a need. Because I think that would be helpful in terms of these types of information, these types of trials, being helpful for surgeons in surgical teams to make decisions about care. Should we be bringing the patient in a little bit earlier, for example, for the first post-op visit or do we need to see them a little bit more often? Dr. Virginia Sun: The other thing I think that would be very important for us to think about, is the digital health and the digital technology disparities. Technology is great. Being able to capture symptoms in a remote fashion electronically and in a relatively quick fashion is great. But we also, I think, need to be mindful of the fact that, what is the comfort in terms of using these kind of programs and devices, and does everyone have access to this? During the pandemic we've heard a lot about Telehealth. We use Telehealth quite often. And Telehealth has great potential. But Telehealth and digital health can also create disparities. And so, I think we just need to be mindful of the population. And perhaps be mindful of the fact that not all patients and families will come with the knowledge in relation to using mobile applications, or technology based programs. And just have those support systems in place, so that we can make things at equitable, right? And that everyone will be able to access these kind of systems to communicate with their surgical team. Dr. Shannon Westin: That's a great point. And I could see something around the fact that for the patient population that maybe doesn't have the devices necessary, needing to kind of lend out devices to the patients, and make sure that the nursing staff or medical assistance can counsel the patients. Then they should walk them through the process. So yeah, I could see where that would be a place where making sure that it was generalizable to the population here and equitable will be essential. The other thing, and this may be completely off base is, for us and I think for you all as well, we use quite a bit of enhanced recovery. We have a pretty elaborate enhanced recovery program request. Really all of our surgical services. And I noticed that wasn't something that was mentioned in this particular article. I don't know if that's something that they were doing. Do you think that that would have an impact in any way on these findings, or if there's a way to incorporate this into some type of enhanced recovery pathway? Dr. Virginia Sun: I think definitely. Perhaps the more long-term, if there is a need to do more long-term remote monitoring when patients are out in the community, or more frequent timeframes in terms of follow up. A lot of this work can also be thinking about what does the data mean? And how can this data not only drive sort of the symptom management piece, but is there a way for us to utilize this data perhaps at the very beginning, as part of that ERAS program, right? In terms of being able to identify those who may need a little bit more communication, or monitoring after they're discharged home. So I don't see this as replacing the ERAS program, I see it as something that could potentially enhance, and perhaps really be able to bring in that program and that approach where we are able to see what's happening to our patients when they're in the community, or at home while they're recovering. So I see it as an augmenting rather than a replacement, if you will. Dr. Shannon Westin: Well, and I think that's really how enhanced recovery has been. I feel like when we first started, we had some of the basics and then we added on, "Okay, let's reduce opioids and let's send less opiates home. And okay, we're going to inject the incision." So I feel like that's what's great about that pathway is you can keep kind of adding to it. And I guess that leads to my final question. I can't believe how quickly time has passed. This discussion went fun. What do you think ultimately this study is going to mean for clinical practice? Do you think this is ready for Prime Time or kind of what are next steps for us here in the states, or our colleagues in Europe? Is this something that we can start doing? Dr. Virginia Sun: Sure. Great question. So I think definitely there's pretty strong evidence now within oncology care that remote monitoring, whether it's symptoms and other approaches, definitely has a benefit. Our patients appreciate the opportunity to communicate with their care team this way. And it's beneficial for the clinical team as well to understand what's happening to our patients out in the communities, and especially for surgery patients, when they're recovering. In terms of whether it's ready for Prime Time, I think we definitely need to maybe replicate a trial like this within the United States or a European healthcare system, and really be able to understand who are the key stakeholders in this process, right? The patients, the surgeons, the surgical team, or nurses, or other team members that are going to either be monitoring this data or benefit from the data that's being collected from patients in terms of guiding the clinical care. Dr. Virginia Sun: I think it would be important to understand the processes a little bit better in terms of who's responding, and then what happened during these encounters? For example. What are the things that we're hearing from patients? So that within a system or within an institution, we can understand what are the resources needed to have a program like this take place, but also understand more from the patient and the surgeon, surgical team perspective, in terms of how this could benefit care. Dr. Virginia Sun: And then also I think the other piece, I think would be important for us to think about is, beyond symptom monitoring, are there other, perhaps, information that would be worthwhile to remote monitor or collect from patients? For example, for surgical population, perhaps functional recovery is something that is quite important. And so is there some other data that we could incorporate beyond sort of the subjective reports? Which are very important, but is there a way perhaps to think about subjective and objective measures combined together? And really be able to understand what it means in terms of the data that we're collecting. Dr. Virginia Sun: And then also, what types of symptoms data, for example, and other kinds of data that we absolutely should collect versus everything under the sun, right? That is going to be most helpful in terms of informing care for our patients. This is because by way of thinking about burden, we can collect data. I think the technology's there to collect data as much as possible, but how we use it and what does that data mean, we still need to understand a lot of that work. And so I think bottom line, no doubt, this is something that's beneficial from the patient's perspective, and the cancer care delivery surgical team perspective as well. But understanding a little bit more about the stakeholders' perspectives and the details of the care, I think, will make it much more efficient and more successful, perhaps, in terms of implementing into standard of care. Dr. Shannon Westin: Great. Wow. Well, thank you so much. This was an awesome discussion and I know our listeners will be intrigued and hopefully are planning some trials of their own to explore these patient reported outcomes. So, listeners, thank you so much again for tuning in to JCO After Hours, and we will see you again next time. Speaker 1: The purpose of this podcast is to educate and to inform.

Burnout can sneak up on you. It happens in subtle, yet harmful, ways that present as both physical and behavioral symptoms (e.g. exhaustion, headaches, anger, loss of joy). And it's especially common to hear about nurses being unhappy in fast-paced areas such an ER, ICU, and L&D. Burnout, if not addressed, often leads to frequent turnover—nurses looking to go to another hospital or to leave the field entirely. In today's episode, Dr. Michele Lee talks with us about why this happens, and how to prevent it. When nurses don't feel supported, when they don't feel prepared, when they are thrown to the wolves, when no one is checking in on them … This is when burnout leads to intent to leave. The most important thing that a hospital can do is provide a nurturing environment for growth, support, training, and celebration of achievements.  Investing in nurses and their quality of life, both professionally and personally, leads to higher retention rates and happier employees. Dr. Lee is going to share how she achieves this at Sentara Healthcare and tips for how other hospitals can do the same. What's in this episode: Dr. Lee's findings from her research on nurse burnout and how it affects intent to leave What burnout looks like (and why managers and leaders should know the signs) How high levels of emotional exhaustion and depersonalization drive nurses away How unhappy employees and high turnover leads to time and money spent on retraining and reestablishing relationships The ways that a strong orientation program drive success for both the employer and employees The characteristics of a strong orientation program (take notes!)
