The patient in 4D had been admitted for multidrug resistant pneumonia. Given her advanced age and a host of other medical problems, the outlook was dire. Over the weeks she and the night nurse had struck up something of a friendship. Other than that she had no visitors, not a soul listed to notify in case of death, and no known friends or relatives. As he dropped by on his night rounds, the nurse was her only visitor, and the visits were limited to the short conversations she could manage. Now her vital signs were failing, and the nurse recognized that the patient in 4D was near death. So he tried to spend every spare minute on his shift in her room, just being present. He was there to hold her hand during her last moments of life. How did his supervisor respond to this gesture of human kindness?

—Goleman, 2006, p. 252

How do aspects of emotional intelligence relate to leadership and management success? Does an effective leader-manager have to be emotionally sensitive and literate? Why or why not?

To prepare:

Following the passage above, Goldman continues on to explain that the nurse supervisor reprimanded the nurse. Does this line up with what you were expecting? Why or why not?

Based on the information in the Learning Resources, think of a recent experience in your organization and consider how a nursing administrator demonstrated or failed to demonstrate emotional intelligence. How did this impact the outcome of the situation?

Reflect on your identified strengths and opportunities for growth related to emotional intelligence from the information in the Learning Resources. What surprises you about the concept of emotional intelligence? How would you rate your own emotional intelligence?

By Day 3

Post
a description of a situation in which a nursing administrator demonstrated or did not demonstrate emotional intelligence when managing a situation. Explain how this may have impacted the outcome of the situation. Describe how you would handle the situation differently based on your own identified emotional intelligence strengths.

The Evidence Based Practice (EBP) Project Part 3: Literature Review and Nursing Implications

Now that you’ve found your evidence, summarized the material, and completed your TOE, it’s time to do your critical literature review and nursing implications sections. Use the data from your TOE to help you.

Submit to the Assignments section the following:

The names of all group members.

Restate your PICO question (in question format only).

Complete the Literature Review section

Include 5-10 paragraphs demonstrating that you have fully read and analyzed all of the evidence. You will likely need to use subheadings to organize your review. Consider questions such as:

What were the common themes throughout the articles?

Were the articles studying the same/different variables?

Were the findings the same/different?

How do the main objectives/purposes of the researchers affect how the studies were designed/carried out?

Discuss the levels of evidence and how that affects the credibility of the findings.

How did the design of the studies affect the outcomes?

Discuss reliability and validity of findings.
 (Focus heavily on this part. It doesn’t matter what the findings say if they aren’t reliable/valid, so fully evaluate them based on the criteria from the textbook. Discuss the different types of reliability/validity. Be very specific.)

Is the evidence contradictory? If so, why might this be so? (i.e. One study is more reliable than the other.)

Complete the Implications for Nursing Practice section

Include 1-2 paragraphs of implications for nursing practice.

Consider such questions as:

How can/should nursing practice change based on these findings?

How should nurses respond to these findings?

Can current nursing practices be improved with these findings?

Etc.

Note: This is the crux of your entire paper, so make sure to focus on it. Nursing research is only important if you can use it to improve nursing practice. This section doesn’t have to be long, but make it count.

(Impact of Music in Neonatal Development)

Abstract

Background: The physiological development of preterm infants seems to be improved with music stimulation. Studies have shown live music therapy is more beneficial music than recorded music and no music therapy during the recording of physiological and behavior of preterm infant in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to show how the impact of live music therapy has on neonatal development.

Method: Thirty-one stable infants randomly received live music, recorded music, and no music therapy over 3 consecutive days. A control of the environment noise level was imposed. Each therapy was delivered for 30 minutes. Heart rate, respiratory rate, oxygen, saturation and a behavioral assessment were recorded, every 5 minutes, actively awake and aroused; 6, quite awake or alert; 5, actively awake and aroused; 6, highly aroused, upset, or crying; and 7, prolonged respiratory pause > 8 seconds. Parents and medical personnel completed a brief questionnaire indicating the effect of the three therapies.

Results: Live music therapy had no significant effect on physiological and behavioral parameters during the 30-minute therapy; however, at the 30-minute interval after the therapy ended, it significantly reduced heart rate and improved the behavioral score Recorded music and no music therapies had no significant effect on any of the tested parameters during all intervals. Both medical personnel and parents preferred live music therapy to recorded music and no music therapies.

Conclusion: Compared with recorded music or no music therapy, live music therapy is associated with a reduced heart rate and a deeper sleep at 30 minutes after therapy in stable preterm infants. Both recorded and no music therapies had no significant effect on the tested physiological and behavioral parameters
