LOCAL TO GLOBAL IMPACT Penn Nurses continue to forge new collaborations with international partners, as our scholars travel to teach and consult in countries like Greece, Botswana, Saudia Arabia, and India. As our nurses work to share knowledge, foster innovation and enhance the School’s global understanding, they inspire future leaders in nursing who care to change the world. With 45 international students from 17 countries now enrolled at the School, Penn Nursing has been able to further expand its global perspective, which enriches our research, education and practice, both here and abroad. Support for these global endeavors plays a critical role in Penn Nursing’s efforts to develop solutions to improve our communities here and around the world.

Improving a Curriculum on the Other Side of the World As a Southeast Asian Studies major during his undergraduate years at Penn, Seth M. Ginns, C’00, cultivated an early interest in India, even spending a semester abroad studying in the country. His continued passion for the nation and his commitment to furthering Penn Nursing’s strategic global partnerships has led him to support the School’s work with the IKP Centre for Technologies in Public Health (ICTPH) to improve rural healthcare delivery in India. While an estimated 72 percent of the Indian population resides in rural areas of the country, an estimated 75 percent of Indian medical practitioners can be found in urban areas, creating significant gaps in available care. Found within these rural communities, however, are AYUSH (Ayurveda, Yoga & Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homeopathy) trained doctors who, while not educated in allopathic medicine, represent a ready pool of care providers who could bridge these gaps with additional education and training. “These doctors are active members of their communities with direct access to its members,” said Dr. Wendy Grube, Practice Assistant Professor at Penn Nursing and Project Director. “There is an established element of trust between them and potential patients that is an incredible asset to care delivery.” The ICTPH health centers issue all local community members an ID card, which is to be used whenever a person comes in for healthcare. These two women are wearing the traditional uniform designated to all health center employees.
With Ginns’ support, Dr. Grube has worked with her Penn Nursing team and partners from the IKP Centre for Technologies in Public Health to establish goals for the ICTPH Bridge Training Program (BTP), which will enrich the capacity of health care systems in India and advance the health outcomes of rural communities in India by augmenting the primary health care training of AYUSH doctors. Together, they have developed an instrument to measure clinical knowledge and skills among possible BTP participants. This test will help identify gaps in knowledge and practice among the AYUSH doctors’ and define criteria for selecting individuals who would be best suited for the BTP program. Penn Nursing will use the results of this test to design a curriculum model that will expand the primary health care clinical decision-making skills of AYUSH doctors. This curriculum and research findings could eventually be applied to areas both rural and urban in countries around the globe. “This program will produce knowledge that can translate across communities and nations,” said Ginns. “Rural practitioners face considerable challenges to care delivery each day – challenges which require innovative thinking and action. Under Penn Nursing’s model, they will develop solutions that effectively address these local challenges and challenges found worldwide.”

Offering Options to Vulnerable Urban Women Penn Nursing’s HEALTHY CITIES: HEALTHY WOMEN (HCHW) conference series has spurred incredible dialogue in cities across the country on better understanding challenges and exploring solutions for and with women and girls. The conversations and support spurred by these conferences, which are co-sponsored by Penn Alumni and the Trustees’ Council of Penn Women, promise to improve health for urban populations all over the world. Conference outcomes are already making a tangible difference locally within Philadelphia. Contributions from conference sponsors and participants are providing critical support to Dr. Kathleen (Kathy) M. Brown, Practice Associate Professor of Nursing, and her new Center for Global Women’s Health research project focused on effectively identifying, supporting and rehabilitating female victims of human trafficking and sex work. In the year and a half since planning launched, Dr. Brown has made incredible strides in implementing this program within the city, negotiating with city judges to set up a diversion court with rehabilitation rather than jail sentences, and identifying Philadelphia-based shelters and nonprofits who can become a part of a multi-disciplinary solutions-based network here in Philadelphia. Using support from HCHW conferences, Dr. Brown was able to connect with partners in Chicago and bring them to Philadelphia to help her learn from and implement key elements of their successful support model. “With this Diversion Project, she is focusing our attention on a group of vulnerable women who can benefit from an opportunity to take control over their lives and their health,” said Dr. Marilyn (Lynn) Sommers, Nu’72, Director of Penn Nursing’s Center for Global Women’s Health. “Kathy is the perfect person to lead this Center project because of her knowledge of women’s health, her contacts with the City of Philadelphia, courts and criminal justice systems, and her relentless desire to empower women.” Dr. Brown’s work thoroughly represents the vision of Penn Nursing’s Center for Global Women’s Health – an impact-focused initiative designed to directly improve the lives of women, their families and their communities using the best science to support evidence-based practice and policy solutions. “The values of the Center (advocacy, empowerment, and innovation) describe the foundations of this remarkable project that will be enacted through community action and partnerships,” said Dr. Sommers. “The quality of women’s lives, and the lives of their children, will be improved because of Kathy Brown’s work and because of the incredible outpouring of support we have received from so many others who understand the potential for our work.”

INNOVATION AND EXCELLENCE IN EDUCATION A baby crying, patients breathing, monitors beeping – these are just a few of the sounds that can be heard from the recently renovated simulation center at Penn Nursing, the Helene Fuld Pavilion for Innovative Learning. Reflecting real-life care settings, the Pavilion’s simulation rooms offer our nursing students the opportunities to review and assess the effectiveness of their skills, diagnostic instincts, and efficiency. As we continue to update our technological capabilities, our curriculum, and our leadership development opportunities, we further cultivate the next generation of nursing innovators. Support for these programs helps ensure our students are safely and effectively equipped with the knowledge, tools, and best practices to improve care and policy across the globe.

(Still) Leading PhD Education Forward As our nation’s healthcare system continues to face growing challenges, innovative, PhD-prepared nurse scientists and researchers are needed now more than ever. Yet, less than 3,000 of our nation’s more than 3 million nurses have doctoral degrees in nursing. Even fewer have PhDs, the qualifying degree which prepares nurses to conduct research and teach at the highest levels in academic institutions. To address this issue and double the number of nurses with doctorate degrees by 2021, a key recommendation of the Institute of Medicine’s landmark Future of Nursing Report, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation announced a $20 million investment in the creation of the new Future of Nursing Scholars program. Penn Nursing has been named the National Program Office (NPO) for this initiative, which will produce up to 500 PhD-prepared nurse educators, scientists and researchers who have a lasting impact on nursing science and care delivery and inspire future nurse innovators. In addition to receiving scholarships, stipends and post-doctoral research support, students will benefit from dedicated leadership training, strong and targeted mentoring, and the creation of a professional network. “The project will develop leaders under the three pillars of scholarship, policy and innovation – a concept that will be nested in a superb mentorship program,” said Dr. Julie A. Fairman, GNu’80, GRN’92, Nightingale Professor of Nursing and Director of the Barbara Bates Center for the Study of the History of Nursing. Fairman will serve as NPO Co-Director along with Dr. Susan B. Hassmiller, RWJF’s senior adviser for nursing. The program’s unique curricular framework coupled with crucial financial support will promote nurse-led science and discovery and increase the number of educators in the field.

Fairman, Nightingale Professor of Nursing, Director of the Barbara Bates Center for the Study of the History of Nursing and Co-Director, Future of Nursing Scholars. (from left to right)
“A PhD gives you the skills to think outside the box and to effectively move forward powerful improvements in delivery of care,” said Fairman. Schools of nursing will begin applying to join the Future of Nursing Scholars program in 2014. In the meantime, RWJF has begun to engage other donors as a part of a strategic philanthropic collaborative. The Independence Blue Cross Foundation has made a lead commitment of $450,000 to help support this project’s efforts. Institutional partnerships like this will allow the Future of Nursing Scholars program to adapt to our nation’s constantly evolving healthcare system, and in the process, transform the field of nursing to meet the needs of our country.

Inspired by Care Every day, Penn Nursing scholars are inspired to find new ways to care to change the world. In turn, they inspire a committed community of friends to support the next generation of nursing leaders. Sari Leventhal, Nu’14, is one such leader. Thanks to the support of the Marcia and Phillip Rothblum Foundation and Ashley Dreyfus Scholarship, which provides financial support to an undergraduate student who otherwise would be unable to meet the cost of a Penn Nursing education, Sari has thrived. It’s enabled her to explore many areas of nursing, pursue research projects within the field, and study abroad in Jerusalem this past spring and summer.

“This scholarship has allowed me to immerse myself in the Penn environment – a community which has opened my eyes to the wide range of opportunities available in the nursing field,” said Leventhal. “Through the diverse experiences provided at the School, I’ve realized that obtaining my PhD in nursing will enable me to change the field at a macro level, thereby bettering the outcomes and lives of many more patients.” Because of the Rothblum Family’s generous support, Sari was able to realize her desire to conduct research to improve the hospital stays of chronically ill children. Upon learning of Sari’s new goal, Philip Rothblum, W’43, and his granddaughter, Ashley Dreyfus, C’11, the founders of the Rothblum-Dreyfus Scholarship, were motivated to make an additional gift to support their fund. “We were inspired by Sari’s commitment to working with children,” said Dreyfus. “She exemplifies the generosity and selflessness which led us to support nursing in the first place.” Dreyfus had introduced her grandfather to the incredible work being done by Penn Nursing scholars after she was inspired by a fellow classmate during her time as an undergraduate. She was amazed by how much her friend was learning through her clinical rotations, the connections she was building throughout the healthcare community, and her growing desire to make a global impact. Dreyfus’ grandfather felt likewise, and together they established the scholarship. In the years following, it has taken on even greater meaning for the two. “A few months after we created this fund, my grandmother passed away,” said Dreyfus. “Nurses were who took care of her every day, making sure she was comfortable and retained hope throughout her final weeks. For that we will forever be grateful.”

The Fuld Pavilion: Busier than Ever It’s been one year since the Helene Fuld Pavilion for Innovative Learning first opened its doors to our Penn Nursing scholars. Offering students challenging yet risk-free opportunities to gain practical experience and develop their diagnostic and decision making skills, these new facilities are playing a key role in Penn Nursing’s education of future nursing leaders. This groundbreaking educational center features high-tech simulation equipment that allows students to create behavioral, live action, and high fidelity simulations of experiences they may encounter in the field. While construction of the Fuld Pavilion may be complete, the School remains committed to ongoing updates to keep our technology at the cutting edge and to provide students with the most advanced educational opportunities possible. Thanks to the generous support of the Arcadia Foundation, the Cascade Foundation, and Penn Nursing Overseer Rosemarie Greco, Penn Nursing can pursue such pioneering advancements. While the Arcadia Foundation’s support of the Pavilion’s endowment will help sustain it long-term, the Cascade Foundation’s gift has helped address an immediate need. It has helped provide specific resources that enable the School’s pediatric programs to expand their learning activities in the Pavilion, allowing students to have pediatric specific experiences that help them develop their care approaches in simulation before performing the maneuvers on live patients. Ms. Greco supported the purchase of a SimMan® 3G, the most advanced and realistic patient simulator model on the market, which is capable of simulating an incredible range of features from bleeding and heart sounds to seizures and more. Dean Afaf I. Meleis had emphasized to the Penn Nursing community that the School will need 10 of these new models to satisfy growing interest among its academic programs and to maximize the potential of the lab. Currently, the School has 3 of these simulators, and 3 older models. “When we have those 10 advanced patient simulator models, it would really amplify what we can accomplish,” said Dr. Deborah Becker, Assistant Dean for Innovations in Simulation. “We’re at a critical point in our existence where more and more of our departments are beginning to understand the possibilities of what we can do in the lab. Our capacity remains limited, however, by the number of simulators we have.” The simulation lab faculty and staff are continuing to seek out ways the lab can enrich Penn Nursing’s programs and bolster partnerships within the local community by providing educational opportunities to groups outside the School. “It’s wonderful to be able to offer courses and resources that can be utilized by healthcare professionals throughout the region, which help improve our relationships between the School and local clinical agencies. It only further enhances the educational experience for our students and improves the care delivered in Philadelphia and beyond.”

ADVANCING SCIENCE TO INFLUENCE POLICY Whether at the bedside, the boardroom table, the laboratory or the courtroom, Penn Nurses continue to demonstrate a strong voice in patient advocacy and improvements in models of care. Over the last year, Penn Nursing faculty and students have been recognized locally and nationally for their development of scholarship and tools to better serve underrepresented populations and to remove the stigma from some of the most difficult challenges facing today’s care providers and patients. With the help of our alumni and friends, Penn Nursing remains a global leader in research in the field. Support for these critical discoveries continues to have a lasting impact on the future of healthcare in this country and beyond.

A New Chair with New Ideas While burgeoning technologies increasingly connect the world, disparities in health continue to rise. With her groundbreaking research, Dr. Eun Ok-Im, the inaugural Marjorie O. Rendell Endowed Professor in Healthy Nursing Transitions, is using these technologies to reach broader populations to help identify and eliminate these gender and ethnic gaps. Established in 2009, the Rendell Professorship was created by Carol E. Ware, Nu’73, in honor of fellow Penn Nursing Overseer and past Board Chair Marjorie O. Rendell, CW’69. With over 20 years of research experience and more than 30 funded studies, including three funded by the National Institutes of Health, Dr. Im continues to pursue new studies using web-based research methods. A recent report from the Pew Internet and American Life Project showed that the Internet is one of the most efficient communication channels to reach a variety of female groups, indicating usage among 48% of women whose annual household incomes are less than $30,000, and among 76% of women whose annual household income are between $30,000 and $50,000.
Dr. Eun-Ok Im, the Marjorie O. Rendell Endowed Professor in Healthy Nursing Transitions
For the past 5 years, Dr. Im has conducted a study focused on ethnic-specific midlife women’s attitudes toward physical activity. Using online forums, she was able to determine that nurses must consider the influence of women’s roles, cultural backgrounds and environmental situations on physical activity in order to increase levels among these groups. “The Rendell Professorship has provided critical support for my pilot studies, which were helpful in the renewal application for this study and for applications for three pending studies,” said Im. “With NIH funding becoming increasingly tighter, this Professorship has played an important role in facilitating my analyses and allowing me to travel to disseminate the findings.” Dr. Im has more than 300 published or in press papers, abstracts, and chapters, and has given over 200 international and national multidisciplinary presentations. She will transfer her research and experience to the classroom this fall, when she begins her newly developed Internet research methodology class for doctoral students. “For future generations of nursing researchers, web-based research methods could be one of the basic research methods in nursing,” emphasized Im. “I’ve developed this course so that our students are prepared for a research career in an increasingly high-tech world.”

The Importance of End of Life Care Marla Wasserman, C’90, L’93, realized the value of palliative care firsthand during the last weeks she shared with her husband Craig. Diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor in 2009, Craig passed away in August 2010. In his final months, Craig benefited from the comfort of superb palliative care. A form of specialized care for patients with serious illnesses, palliative care focuses on providing individuals with relief from the stress, symptoms, and pain associated with their illness, in order to improve their quality of life and the lives of their families. Having shared an extraordinarily meaningful experience with Craig’s caregivers, Ms. Wasserman was inspired to build a broader awareness about the importance of palliative care and spark new ideas and innovative thinking in the field. In honor of her late husband, Ms. Wasserman established the Craig M. Wasserman Memorial Lectureship in Palliative Care at Penn Nursing. The inaugural lecture was held in February 2013 and featured Dr. Nessa Coyle, a consultant in palliative care and clinical ethics. Dr. Coyle is the former Director and Nurse Practitioner of the Supportive Care Program, Pain and Palliative Care Service at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, and she played a leading role in Craig Wasserman’s care during his final months. Marla Wasserman (second from left) with daughter Alison Wasserman, inaugural lecturer Dr. Nessa Coyle, and Associate Professor of Nursing Dr. Mary Ersek
“Dr. Coyle is one of the pioneers of palliative care, especially this idea of it being interdisciplinary,” said Dr. Mary Ersek, Associate Professor of Nursing and Director of the Palliative Care Minor at Penn Nursing. “It was exciting to see nurses, physicians, social workers, chaplains and more at the lecture.” Thanks to Ms. Wasserman’s incredible support, Penn Nursing will continue to bring extraordinary speakers like Dr. Coyle to the School to share their expertise and experiences. This lecture series will offer important educational opportunities not only for those studying palliative care but for others from inside and outside the Penn community. “In addition to offering students in the palliative care minor a chance to learn from phenomenal role models making a difference in their field, this lecture series will provide incredible opportunities to bring people together to identify what the challenges are in building and maintaining a robust palliative care program,” said Ersek. “It will help give guidance to different programs across the University of Pennsylvania Healthcare System and beyond, no matter how developed the program.”
