LOCAL TO GLOBAL IMPACT Penn Nursing fosters local and global partnerships extending from West Philadelphia to Haiti, India, Botswana and China. Globally-minded and innovative faculty, students and leaders conduct interdisciplinary research and culturally competent practice that provide solutions to health challenges in communities around the globe. With 11 study abroad programs in 9 countries, collaborative projects with 10 Schools in 12 countries and 14 faculty-led research projects worldwide, Penn Nursingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s international leadership continues to grow. But our global impact begins at home and our Philadelphia partnerships are stronger than ever through hallmark efforts such as our LIFE program and new collaborations. 2

As we look to the future, our local to global impact will continue to serve as a defining role for Penn Nursing.

Helping Vulnerable Women Live Healthy Lives Inside Jane Addams Place, a West Philadelphia domestic violence shelter, Marilyn Stringer, GNu’91 GR’95, PhD, WHNP-BC, RDMS, FAAN, Professor of Women’s Health Nursing-Clinician Educator, works with residents teaching lessons about stress management, nutrition and healthy living. She knows that Penn Nursing’s program at the shelter offers the women ways to alleviate stress, information on where to find fresh fruits and vegetables and much more. “I was teaching a lesson when a pregnant woman came up to me and said, ‘I know we’re talking about nutrition today, but I need some help figuring out how I am going to get to the hospital to deliver,’” remembered Dr. Stringer. “I talked to her about options for transportation and checked in on her prenatal care to ensure she had the proper resources and education for a safe pregnancy.” Supported by the Verizon Foundation, Penn Nursing faculty and students and women’s health nurses from the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania (HUP) have been working with residents at Jane Addams Place for more than a year, with the kind of holistic perspective that evokes nursing’s roots.

Penn Nursing students designed the nutrition education sessions while taking into account the challenges of living in a shelter or transitional housing. Pamela Mack Brooks, GNu’96, Penn Nursing Alumni Board Member and Director of Nursing Community Outreach at HUP, says working with shelter residents alongside Penn Nursing students has been extraordinarily rewarding. “These young nursing leaders have such a desire to understand the communities they serve and to develop a program sensitive to that community that can be replicated throughout the city,” she said. Jane Addams Place is located within a few blocks of another Penn Nursing program, Living Independently for Elders (LIFE). Both are clear reminders that Penn Nursing strives to improve the lives of our closest neighbors.

“Nurses think about the physical, mental and social aspects of living a healthy life,” said Dr. Stringer. “Our faculty and students engage in innovative research to develop the best practices to improve lives. And partnering with Jane Addams Place, students, faculty and HUP nurses can be part of implementing those best practices to help these women live better lives within their sometimes very challenging environments.”

Helping Haiti When a massive earthquake struck Haiti in January 2010, residents and experts alike knew that the recovery would present profound health challenges for this already impoverished country. The immediate treatment of injuries was critical, but the healthcare community knew that one of the gravest dangers would come in the form of lack of access to clean water and the devastation of water borne diseases like cholera and dysentery.

Bill McCool (left), PhD, CNM, RN, Term Associate Professor in Women's Health/Nurse Midwifery Clinician Educator and Mamie Guidera, MSN, CNM, Senior Lecturer delivering care in Haiti.

In March 2011, more than 300 students, faculty and community members walked at Penn to raise funds for water filtration systems for the National School of Nursing in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Many participants carried orange buckets along the 3-mile course – reflecting the importance of clean water to the health and future of Haiti. Long before January 2010, Penn Nursing was partnering to improve nursing care in Haiti. Now, Penn Nursing is partnering to help nursing organizations in Haiti including the National School of Nursing in Port-au-Prince, whose collapse during the earthquake destroyed their building and took the lives of 92 nursing students.

Before the dust of the earthquake in Haiti was settled, a group of Penn Nursing faculty, staff and students gathered to determine how the School could respond to the crisis. What launched as an immediate response has quickly grown into a long-term commitment from Penn Nursing to help the country recover and rebuild. Penn Nursing faculty, staff and students along with nurses from HUP, CHOP and other local institutions know that securing the education of nurses in Haiti will be critical to the country’s recovery. Dr. Marjorie Muecke, PhD, RN, FAAN, Penn Nursing’s Assistant Dean for Global Health Affairs, is part of a collaborative effort with organizations like Partners in Health, leading educators in Haiti and the Haitian Ministry of Public Health and Population to develop solutions for nurse education in the country. With the help of the Haiti Action Fund, faculty, staff and a few students are also traveling to Haiti to deliver direct care, materials and services in Port-auPrince on an ongoing basis. In the end, their hope is that the combination of immediate solutions and long-term partnership will not only help Haiti recover but prepare it for a stronger and healthier future.

At the Walk for Water for Haiti event, the orange buckets carried a dual message about water – the importance of clean water and its burden on women. Access to clean water is a core issue in improving the health of women and communities globally. The burden of finding and carrying water often falls on the shoulders of women. Indeed, three miles is the average women and children walk for water in the developing world – every day. 4

INNOVATION AND EXCELLENCE IN EDUCATION For 125 years, the University of Pennyslvania has been home to innovative nursing education that prepares students to provide exceptional care. As healthcare needs change and cuttingedge science provides new solutions, Penn Nursing is ever vigilant in ensuring our curriculum prepares nurses to improve the lives and health of individuals, families and communities. Our new undergraduate curriculum integrates groundbreaking, hands-on methods of learning including simulation education, new science laboratories and advanced instructional technology.

Supporting this new curriculum – and investing in the new technology to bring it to life – is vital to Penn Nursing’s mission to remain a global leader in the education of nurses and in the generation of the science they will need to care to change the world.

A Legacy and a Vision Forward For more than two decades, the Hillman/Penn Scholars Program has been a model for improving care by investing in the best and brightest nursing students. The Hillman Program provided critical financial aid to Penn Nursing undergraduates in exchange for two years of work in a New York City hospital post graduation. Today, Hillman/Penn graduates manage care and provide leadership on almost every floor of three top NYC hospitals. Now, the Rita and Alex Hillman Family Foundation and Penn Nursing will again partner to lead nursing education forward – this time with a focus on developing a cadre of nurse researchers and innovators who see the power of nursing to change lives on a grand scale. The Hillman Scholars Program in Nursing Innovation at Penn Nursing will streamline the student path from BSN to PhD to prepare nurses who are dedicated to discovering the science that changes the healthcare system and communities around the world.

While the program’s primary goal aims to create innovators who will help to transform and redesign the nation’s strained healthcare system, the program will also allow these exceptional Penn Nurses to inspire and lead future generations of nurses while meeting the need for faculty members in nursing education. Kaitlin Best, who will be among the first in the cadre of new Hillman Scholars, feels that she will be a better healthcare professional and educator because of the program’s opportunities for hands-on, mentored research. “This program captivates me because of the opportunities to combine research with undergraduate and graduate coursework,” she wrote in her application essay. “I know that I will help to shape the nursing science that forms the foundation of nursing education and care for the future.”

Dr. Terry Richmond, Director of the Hillman Scholars Program in Nursing Innovation and the Andrea B. Laporte Associate Professor of Nursing.

Dr. Terry Richmond, GRN’95, PhD, CRNP, FAAN, Director of the Hillman Scholars Program in Nursing Innovation and the Andrea B. Laporte Associate Professor of Nursing, says the new program will produce the kind of nurses with skill sets to advance all that nurses do and the interdisciplinary vision that positions them to have maximum impact on healthcare interventions and national policy.

The Future of Nursing Education is Now For a nurse on a busy hospital floor, the pressure is high – with many patients to care for and many emergencies to manage. For the patient, the nurse is the first responder to your call, the one consistently monitoring your health. With evolving medical technologies and increased complexity of patient care, nurses must be better prepared than ever before. This fall, Penn Nursing will introduce a new, visionary curriculum for our undergraduate students that breaks the mold of outdated teaching techniques while allowing them to confront the challenges of care within a safe learning environment. Supported by a generous $4.35 million grant from the Helene Fuld Health Trust, HSBC Bank USA, N.A., Trustee, Penn Nursing’s revised curriculum features renovation of the science laboratories, cutting-edge technology for expanded simulation learning and new methods of teaching. Dr. Barbra Mann Wall, PhD, RN, FAAN, Associate Professor of Nursing and Chair of the undergraduate curriculum committee says the school is moving away from thinking about lectures as lectures, viewing them more as ways to better understand patients and the integration of science and practice.

“Why should our students learn about a patient’s respiratory system during one semester and then wait another semester to learn how to take a person’s vital signs?” Dr. Mann Wall asked rhetorically. “Now we have an Anatomy and Physiology class where our students can watch a demonstration of a nurse taking these vital assessments.” The new curriculum features three new courses for the freshman year to address how, where and in what psychological and social contexts nursing is practiced – as a patient’s health is as much affected by his or her living conditions as by a medical diagnosis. Unprecedented technologies like video recording of individual students’ simulation learning experiences will be key components in the new curriculum. These recorded demonstrations will allow for reflection and debriefing, where students can see how they handled particular patient scenarios and discuss with faculty how they can improve the care they deliver. Simulation learning space will almost double at Fagin Hall to significantly expand capacity for this kind of learning. For Rachel McCoy, Nu’11, the increased integration of simulation learning experiences is about better, safer care for her patients. “In the hospital with a patient, even as a nursing student on a clinical rotation, there are no second chances and uncertainty can be paralyzing. My simulation experiences make me a better, more confident nurse ready to play an active role in caring for patients no matter the situation.”

Over the last six years, the School of Nursing has improved almost every floor of Claire M. Fagin Hall, an unparalleled commitment that ensures Penn Nursing education remains at the cutting-edge. The School’s plan for a modern lab space and simulation center will respond to and anticipate trends in nursing and interdisciplinary care to create leading behavioral, live action and high fidelity simulations. It will require a serious investment to equip our laboratories with technology to bring learning to life. And the drive to execute the vision for the future of nursing education at Penn Nursing is ongoing. As part of Helene Fuld Health Trust’s overall grant, the foundation has issued a challenge grant of $500,000 to create an educational innovation endowment. The endowment will support the integration of future learning technologies and teaching methodologies and allow Penn Nursing to lead nursing education forward for the next generations of nurses. “We feel that we are at an exciting crossroads for the future of nursing,” said Penn Nursing Dean Afaf I. Meleis. “As a scientific institution, we lead the nation in NIH funding for nursing science and are developing the base knowledge, the care models and the best practices that are currently influencing care and policy around the world. In that role, Penn Nursing faculty must serve as thought leaders and models of futuristic nursing education and the Helene Fuld Health Trust is supporting us and challenging us to find additional resources to lead nursing education forward.” Rachel McCoy, Nu’11 and Anne Caputo, MA, BSN, Penn Nursing lecturer, engage in a high-fidelity simulation scenario.

THE IMPACT OF SCIENCE Inspired to improve care at the beside, innovative in discovering solutions and influential in shaping policy, Penn Nursing leaders are revolutionizing care, informing changes in healthcare, revitalizing communities and improving lives in the U.S. and around the world. University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing faculty, students and alumni are working tirelessly to improve the science, systems and policies to produce practical and efficient solutions to healthcare challenges of today and tomorrow.

It is the generation, translation and implementation of cutting-edge knowledge that promotes healthy living and provides better models of care allowing Penn Nursing to make a major difference in the lives of individuals, families and communities.

Piloting Impact for 22 years In the 1980s, more than half a million older adults a day were tied to their beds or chairs in hospitals and nursing homes. That practice, which was supposed to prevent falls, injury and wandering, was discovered to be harmful thanks to revolutionary research by Penn Nursing Drs. Neville Strumpf, PhD, RN, FAAN and Lois Evans, PhD, RN, FAAN. That transformational discovery was made possible by a gift from a resident at Foulkeways Continuing Care Retirement Community, William Russell, to support progress in gerontological research. Mr. Russell believed in the power of research to change lives, and created the Frank Morgan Jones Fund to support a partnership with a school with a reputation for research with impact – Penn Nursing. One of the first projects supported by the Frank Morgan Jones Fund was Drs. Strumpf and Evans’ study showing that restrained adults are more likely to sustain injuries. Today, prevalence of physical restraint in nursing homes is just 3 percent.

Transitional Care Model by Dr. Mary Naylor, GNu’73, GR’82, PhD, RN, FAAN, and the exploration of the links between sleepiness and heart failure by Dr. Barbara Riegel, DNSc, RN, FAAN – innovations that are now changing patient care in hospitals, primary care offices and elder care facilities. Foulkeways and Penn Nursing see no end to the impact of this gift. Following pilot study support from the Jones Fund in 2003, doctoral alumna Fang Yu, GNu’01, GR’03 – now a tenure-track faculty member at the University of Minnesota – is awaiting word on major NIH funding on the impact of exercise for cognitively impaired elders. “The Frank Morgan Jones Fund is continually supporting the next generation of gerontologic science,” said Dr. Strumpf, who has continued to mentor Yu since her graduation in 2003. “With each year we see incredible outcomes stem from Mr. Russell’s act of generosity.”

Penn Nursing professor Dr. Neville Strumpf (right) and Foulkeways CEO Douglas A. Tweddale celebrate a partnership that has piloted new discoveries and improved the lives of Foulkeways residents.

Over the past 22 years, the Frank Morgan Jones Fund has provided more than $400,000 in support for more than 80 pilot projects to address a wide range of critical issues in elder care. Each year the fund awards up to $25,000 to Penn Nursing for pilot studies that are critical to obtaining further research funding. “What this has given back far exceeds Mr. Russell’s initial gift,” said Dr. Strumpf, noting that because of the research conducted by herself and Dr. Evans, Foulkeways is restraint-free. Many other landmark projects have been jump-started by Mr. Russell’s support – such as the groundbreaking

Global Women’s Health: The Research to Make a Diﬀerence Imagine walking two miles in the African heat to find clean water. Imagine that all of the women in your community take that walk daily – and all of your families depend on it. Around the world, women face unique barriers to health and daily living, from the burden of locating water to facing threats of violence to fighting for access to healthcare, educational and financial resources for themselves and their families. Penn Nursing’s new Center for Global Women’s Health promises to address these challenges and improve the lives of women and their families around the world through multi-disciplinary, groundbreaking and evidence-based research. Through the holistic lens of nursing, the Center’s efforts focus on discovering ways to make an impact in three areas: safety and prevention of violence; empowerment and advocacy; and health promotion and disease prevention for women. While innovations to impact the health of women have been central to the mission of the School for years, Center Director Lynn Sommers, Nu’72, PAR’11, Lillian S. Brunner Professor of MedicalSurgical Nursing says the new Center will help to inform national and international initiatives to empower women like those led by the U.S. State Department and United Nations. “Across the globe, practitioners, scientists and policy leaders are recognizing that as the health of women goes, so goes the health of the world,” said Dr. Sommers. “And to improve the health of women and the world, we need strong evidence from the kind of research the Center does to say, this is how you make progress. This is how you can make an impact.”

For more than 20 years, Dr. Sommers has been making an impact through research work with women, adolescents and adults at greater risk for injury, such as people living in poverty. Most recently, Dr. Sommers has identified skin color as a critical factor in appearance and identification of physical injury from sexual assault – a discovery that has changed forensic examinations. The Center, which opened on July 1, 2011, has already drawn an enthusiastic response around its impact through research. For Nancy Adelson, Nu’78, investing in the Center is an opportunity to improve the world. “I am supporting the development of knowledge that will translate into on-the-ground improvements for women and women’s health globally. It is difficult to imagine a more strategic and impactful way to make the world a better place for all.”

Penn Nursing professor Dr. Marilyn Sommers frequently travels to Puerto Rico in her work to research and implement care solutions to improve the lives of women and their families.

Understanding Autism: Finding Causes, Improving Care Instant tantrums in the waiting room. Rapid movements on the examining table. No responses to questions about pain. For children – and adults – with autism, visits to the hospital or physician offices are anything but routine. With one child in 110 diagnosed on the Autism Spectrum, more families and patients than ever are in need of healthcare professionals who understand the unique health needs and challenges of patients with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Penn Nursing’s Pennsylvania Center for Autism and Developmental Disabilities Research and Epidemiology (PA CADDRE) is monitoring the number of children with ASD and assessing risk factors. Dr. Jennifer Pinto-Martin, PhD, MPH, Viola MacInnes/Independence Professor of Nursing and head of PA CADDRE, says just as important as learning the causes of autism is taking the lead to fill the gap in caregivers for people living with ASD.

Procedures such as IV insertions can be exceptionally challenging for autistic patients due to struggles with social skills, communication and repetitive behaviors. The program at Penn Nursing will prepare nurses to deal with issues like these through a continuing education program and a post-masters certificate in autism care – now in development at Penn Nursing. Penn Nursing Master’s student Kayla Guarneri Halvey, Nu’10, GNu’11, recently became the first student to complete a clinical experience at the Center for Autism. “Working at the Center for Autism, I realized what a family coping with this diagnosis goes through every day,” said Kayla. “And because of a much better understanding of what impact autism has on life outside of the clinical setting, I know the unique care perspective I have to bring to work with these special patients.”

Penn Nursing has launched an innovative partnership with Philadelphia’s Center for Autism with support from Philadelphia Health Care Trust to examine how nurses can meet the ever-growing need for knowledgeable care providers. As the first and only such program in the country, the partnership addresses the immediate need to prepare nurses who can diagnose autism and who understand autism’s health complexities.

Penn Nursing’s innovative partnership with Philadelphia’s Center for Autism is preparing nurses to care for children and families facing the challenges of the disorder.

A Legacy in Images 1

The HUP Nursing Alumni Association commissioned artist Kathleen Shaver HUP’76, to create an art installation to honor the history and legacy of 125 years of nursing at the University of Pennsylvania. Consisting of 27 framed oil paintings on canvas, the deep, visual imagery of the installation evokes the evolution of nursing education, research and practice at the University of Pennsylvania and its hospital in the broader social, political and historical context. Twenty-two of the paintings are artistic interpretations of original works of art, while five themed-paintings were created by Shaver to complete a rich tapestry of the history of nursing. The five themes of voice, inquiry, clinical judgement, engagement and Care to Change the World™, celebrate the dedication, leadership and impact of past, present and future nursing graduates of the University of Pennsylvania.

We asked five alumni for their thoughts and personal interpretations of the five themes: 14

1 Beverly L. Barton Emonds, HUP’68, Nu’72, GNu’80 On Clinical Judgement “From our earliest exposure to nursing education, we were taught to observe, reason and critically think about our actions and reactions. The foundation provided by a Penn Nursing education gave us the tools by which we could effectively use our clinical judgement to ask tough questions, make quick decisions and improve the lives of patients and their families.”

IMPACT

2 Amanda Mahoney, Nu’07, GNu’09 On Inquiry “An emphasis on asking the question “Why?” runs through all dimensions of nursing, from the student to the advanced practice nurse, and from the bedside to the archive. Asking and answering “why” questions is what drives excellence in nursing practice, nursing research and ensures that nursing’s role in patient care will continue to grow and adapt as healthcare changes.”

3 Candace Pfeffer Stiklorius, HUP’66, Nu’71, GNu’83 On Voice “Nurses are trusted. They work closely with patients and their families and in all kinds of healthcare settings. What they have to say is important and needs to be heard, from the bedside to the places of power like the media and government.”

Kevin Daugherty Hook, GNu’06 On Engagement

Betty Irwin, HUP’50 On Care to Change the WorldTM

“Engagement is a hallmark of professionalism and means acting based on integrated knowledge to formulate a plan and implement it. It means fostering health, intervening in illness and comforting at the end of life. For care to be at its highest level, Penn Nurses strive to be involved and in tune with those for whom we care and our impact on the policies that affect them.”

“The long tradition of caring, education, skill and inquisitiveness begun by the nurses of the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania and leaders like Theresa Lynch, has helped to prepare more than 14,000 nurses for all types of situations, encounters and environments. On my own path after retirement from years as a hospital nurse, I became a nurse in the Peace Corps where I really learned what it means to Care to Change

the World.” 15
