FROM THE DEAN
Advancing health with big data science Dear Friends, All of us are committed to advancing the health and well-being of everyone. As nurses, our daily lives are filled with questions about what is best for our patients, families, communities and entire populations. We ask: What are the essential components to raising healthy, resilient children? How will I support this homeless teen? What is the most effective staffing model for a hospital oncology unit? What will be the most effective way to support this patient’s management of his diabetes? How do we improve care coordination across the continuum of care? The infinite number of questions we ask and answer each day are at the heart of nursing practice and research. Our capacity to answer these questions in real time and with precision relies increasingly on big data science in nursing and health care.
Westra and I are conducting research utilizing massive patient data sets, including those available through our partnership with OptumLabs. We share our informatics curricular expertise with college and university faculty nationwide, leveraging support from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation and in partnership with the American Association of Colleges of Nursing. This spring, we will host the fifth-annual Nursing Knowledge: Big Data Conference with leaders from nursing, health systems, industry, government and academia to advance a national action plan for sharable, comparable data. As the No. 2-ranked graduate school in nursing informatics in the nation by US News and World Report, we are dedicated to building the capacity of our students, colleagues and partners to harness the power of big data to answer the questions at the heart of nursing. We keep the soul in our science.
When I joined the earliest pioneers in the field of nursing informatics in 1987, I was drawn to the possibility that data could reveal the most effective ways to reduce costs, enhance the patient experience, improve outcomes, and, most significantly, empower and give voice to the patient. These possibilities have been realized in thousands of ways since then. Today, I am part of a team of big data scientists and nurse informaticians at the University of Minnesota who are leading the way.
As a society, our evolving capacity to gather, compare and analyze patient data, their experiences, environments and care settings promises to unlock solutions to some of the greatest health care challenges of our time. Nurses, with our holistic perspective, lead an essential part in transforming health, including embracing technology.

The feeling is mutual The right care at the right time
by Barb Schlaefer
Today, he lives in an assisted living facility in the Twin Cities with several chronic health conditions that require coordination among members of his care team, who include onsite nurses, a hospice nurse, a social worker, a physician, his daughter and a primary care nurse practitioner. “The care team revolves around my dad, rather than us driving around town to get him the care that he needs from people who do not communicate with one another,” said his daughter, Barbara Brandt, PhD, associate vice president for education at the University of Minnesota Academic Health Center. “This is the right interprofessional model of care for my dad at the right time.” Dianne Willer-Sly, DNP, APRN, CNP, sees Fifield at least monthly in his home and communicates often with other members of the care team as well as his daughter. She makes rounds together with her physician colleague, Rachel Burton, DO, who sees residents at the facility on a quarterly basis. “I see my job as not only the primary care provider, but also as a sort of case manager for my patients,” said WillerSly, who also teaches at the School

who directs the National Center for Interprofessional Practice and Education at the University. “Because no one had the total picture of how my dad was doing, he had some devastating falls that may have been prevented with better communication.”
Willer-Sly likes to get to know her geriatric patients well, spending two to three hours with them at the initial visit. She also shares her cell phone number with family members. “We are a team. I like to know what is going on. Did something happen over the weekend? Clear, regular communication is a real advantage and having an informed family member enhances patient care,” said Willer-Sly, who has worked as a nurse practitioner for more than 32 years.
Brandt says her personal experience with her father’s current care team is a model that should be replicated. “Students in the health professions need to see and experience this approach to care,” she said.
Previously, Fifield’s care was fragmented. “No one was at the center putting all the pieces together,” said Brandt,

RESEARCH
USING BIG DATA to take the error out of trial and error Personalizing statin treatment by Barb Schlaefer
For people with elevated cholesterol, a growing array of medication options promises to more effectively reduce risks for heart attacks, strokes and related problems. These drugs, known as statins, are prescribed to people for whom diet and lifestyle changes have not been effective in lowering dangerous cholesterol levels. Since no two patients are alike, selecting the most effective statin and dosage for each person can be a lengthy process of trial and error.
“By applying a computational approach to the data, similar to approaches used by Amazon or Netflix when they suggest products or movies you might like, we will be able to predict with a very high degree of certainty, which treatment can be most effective,” said Chih-Lin Chi, PhD, MBA, assistant professor at the School of Nursing and principal investigator on the first phase of this multi-year study. “The goal is to help cardiologists and primary care providers be more proactive, instead of reactive, identifying the statin agent and dose that will have the greatest cholesterollowering benefit, with the least risk of adverse side effects and best possible outcome for the type of patient they are serving,” said Chi. continued on page 8

Those who care for people with cardiovascular disease today have seven different cholesterol-lowering statin medications and dozens of dosage plans to consider. Challenged to stay current on new drugs and guidelines, many rely heavily on their own experience in treating their patients to determine the best treatment plan for each patient.
perceived to be caused by the medication.
“We have current guidelines for treating patients based on their risk for a cardiovascular event, like heart attack or stroke, and their potential to benefit from treatment,” said study investigator Jennifer Robinson, MD, professor, cardiology researcher at the University of Iowa. “However, we currently have no way to factor in certain patient data, nor can we factor in the risk for harm. That is part of what this first phase of the study does.”
The first phase of the project involves a study of adverse reactions to statin treatment. Subsequent phases will assess and weigh the benefits, risks, outcomes and costs of statin agents and dosage plans for individual types of patients.
While statin use has increased dramatically over the last 20 years, many patients discontinue their statin medication within the first year, in part due to adverse reactions such as muscle, kidney or liver damage
STUDYING TRUE CAUSE AND EFFECT WITH PRECISION Working in collaboration with OptumLabs, which curates one of the largest health-related data warehouses in the world with de-identified data on 160 million lives over 20 years, the team began by carefully selecting its participant criteria. The initial research cohort includes more than 37,000 deidentified patient records.
“We seek to cluster different types of patients, analyzing the data hundreds of ways, to identify how each type of patient responded under different types of treatment plans,” Chi said. The computer processing power needed to analyze tens of thousands of detailed records through a complex series of algorithms requires computational capacity equal to more than 500 times that of a standard office computer, said Chi.
RESEARCH
“Chih-Lin’s work is very exciting for its methodological sophistication and application of machine learning methods to the analysis of health care data. The application of machine learning methods in health care is in its infancy,” said William Crown, chief scientific officer for OptumLabs, which is based in Boston, Massachusetts. “This kind of project can potentially find its way into translation and care very quickly by being imbedded into the tools that doctors and nurses are already using.” Chi says the findings of this big data science work will be rigorously tested, and the results refined, through clinical trials. The end product will be a software application that may ultimately be integrated into the electronic health records system that provides individualized prescription recommendations to providers in real time, as they see patients and review their blood cholesterol levels in the clinical setting. “Using predictive modeling, this study creates a pathway to precision

medicine, or individualized care, to treat patients,” said Robinson, who coauthored the national blood cholesterol guidelines currently used by providers. As the principal investigator and computational expert on the team, Chi says this work cannot be done effectively without a diverse team of people who bring essential clinical, research and entrepreneurial perspectives to the work. The current research team is comprised of Thomas Clancy, professor, University of Minnesota School of Nursing; Jennifer G. Robinson, professor, University of Iowa College of Public

RESEARCH
A super-sized research and innovation cohort The School of Nursing is one of 27 members of the OptumLabs research and innovation collaborative, which convenes experts from health care, industry and academic institutions to explore high-impact research questions that can lead to improved practices and treatment in health care. With a national data warehouse containing de-identified data on more than 160 million patient lives, OptumLabs provides the school and the rest of the University of Minnesota with the opportunity to partner with diverse organizations to tackle complex research questions. “There are several large data sets for conducting big data health research in the country, but the OptumLabs collaborative is unique in many respects,” said Thomas Clancy, PhD, MBA, RN, FAAN, associate dean for practice, partnerships and professional development at the University of Minnesota School of Nursing. “The ability to link de-identified clinical and claims data on patients is extremely valuable. As a partner in an academiccorporate partnership, we are collectively building our capacity to extract, process and analyze the data in new ways, for new discoveries.” The statin project described on the previous pages is one of eight research projects underway at the University of Minnesota that utilizes the OptumLabs Data Warehouse. “At OptumLabs, each of our partners brings something different and unique,” said William Crown, chief scientific officer for OptumLabs. “Our model is that we are the facilitators, providing the data, the tools, the environment, the architecture and the knowledge about the data, but it’s actually our partners who are doing the work, often collaboratively.”

What moves seniors to move? Friendly, social comparison may be key by Barb Schlaefer
For older adults, an accidental fall can be a pivotal event causing lasting changes in mobility, independence, health and well-being. Because the costs and consequences of falls among older adults are significant, new research on fall prevention has gained attention nationwide. Not surprisingly, consistent physical activity to maintain strength and balance in the legs is key to preventing falls. Less clear, however, is the most effective way to inspire older adults to exercise regularly. A recent clinical trial led by Assistant Professor Siobhan McMahon, PhD, MPH, APRN, GNP-BC, explored this question, by comparing different approaches for encouraging increased physical activity. The study’s 102 participants each received Fitbits, which track physical activity. They were assigned to one of four experimental groups. All groups were given the same instructions and practiced recommended physical activities. However, each group was given a different mix of behavior change strategies to encourage them to integrate these physical activities into their everyday lives. “Our question was, ‘Which strategy, or combination of strategies, elicits increased physical activity, measured objectively using the Fitbits?” said McMahon.
The study results, about to be published in the Annals of Behavioral Medicine by Springer Publishing, suggest that those who participated in what McMahon’s team called the interpersonal strategy increased their physical activity more than others in the study, for up to six months after the intervention ended. This set of interpersonal strategies included smallgroup activities such as friendly social comparison. This approach required dialogue and exchange between peers — collaborative learning — about physical activity-related ideas and experiences to elicit individual change.
While interpersonal strategies may be an innovative way to encourage older adults to move more, further research is needed before translating these strategies into practice. McMahon’s next study will attempt to reproduce these findings with a larger clinical trial and investigate intervention effects on falls and quality of life. Results could inform practice for falls prevention. This KL2 study was funded by grants from the University of Minnesota Center for Translational Science Institute and a Grant in Aid.
The other set of strategies was called intrapersonal because it involved more introspective activities such as receiving formal instruction, creating personal goals and plans and then discussing these in small groups. Although the intrapersonal strategies are traditional — used often in physical activity programs for younger adults — it was the interpersonal strategies in this study that elicited significant increases in participants’ physical activity. McMahon says she was initially surprised by the findings, but should not have been. “When we look at lifespan developmental theory and the preferences of older adults, our findings make sense,” she said. “Older adults tend to value social connections that are emotionally satisfying. It may be that the exchange of knowledge and expertise among peers about physical activity motivated participants to engage more in physical activity in their everyday lives.”

Mentoring the
next generation of nurses
More than role models, preceptors show students how to handle real-life curveballs by Meleah Maynard
Mary O’Donnell became a nurse preceptor shortly after starting work at the University of Minnesota’s Community-University Health Care Clinic as a pediatric nurse practitioner in 2003. Fourteen years and a Doctor of Nursing Practice degree later, it’s a role she still enjoys and feels committed to because she wants to help the next generation of nurses. “I will always remember the nurse practitioner preceptors who made time for me and reaffirmed why I wanted to do what I do,” she said. “This is a way that I can give back.”
Photos: Scott Streble
There’s something in it for O’Donnell, too. Being a preceptor, she says, makes her a better nurse practitioner. “I learn a lot from my students. They’re aware of the newest thinking and evidencebased practice, and we both learn as we work through problems together. It’s fun and it keeps me on my toes.” Bridging the gap between the classroom and clinical practice, preceptors are experienced nurses who are knowledgeable about what they do and also want to teach others. By providing supervision in clinical settings as diverse as hospitals, community clinics, nursing homes, birthing centers and school-based health programs, preceptors serve as mentors to pre-
licensure and DNP nursing students, helping them develop vital criticalthinking skills on the job. Currently, the University of Minnesota School of Nursing has about 200 preceptors working with its prelicensure students, 250 DNP preceptors and more are always needed. DNP students are paired with preceptors according to their specialty. Pairs typically work together for a semester, usually one or two days a week. “Nursing students have learned from preceptors since as early as the Florence Nightingale days in the late 1800s, and they continue to be a core part of nursing education today,” said Christine Mueller, PhD, RN, FAAN, associate dean for academic programs. “Just like medical students, nursing students need real-life experiences to prepare them to be safe and competent practitioners.” Kari Erickson, who will graduate from the DNP program in May, has learned from more than 10 preceptors over the course of her nursing education. One of her favorites was Mary O’Donnell, whom she was recently paired with at CUHCC. Though Erickson worked seven years in pediatric intensive care before returning to school to earn her DNP degree, she was nervous about practicing at CUHCC, where patients are often immigrants and refugees who may not speak English or be comfortable with American health care settings.
Working with O’Donnell has done more than allay those fears. Erickson says the experience made her a better nurse. “I’ve learned so much about talking to families that come from around the world. Mary is always completely gracious and never gets anxious, even when an interpreter is not immediately available and you just have to do the best you can without them.” Beyond role modeling, Erickson is also grateful to O’Donnell for making her think for herself. When reporting on a patient, for example, O’Donnell would ask: What are the patients really telling you? What are they afraid of? Do you think you have all of the information you need? “You’re so afraid to make mistakes as a student, but she asks questions without judgment. She would say, ‘Let me hear your best guess and rationale and we’ll go from there and get to where we’re supposed to be,’” Erickson said. “I learned much more than how to practice as a pediatric nurse practitioner. I learned nuances and semantics and how to handle the unexpected because she handled them like a pro.” To learn more about becoming a preceptor, go to http://z.umn.edu/preceptor.

PhD education helps Mayo’s CNIO launch
EHR system by Barb Schlaefer
As the chief nursing informatics officer for the Mayo Clinic enterprise, Jason Fratzke is immersed in helping lead a clinic-wide transition to a new, single electronic health record system. He says his experiences as a bedside nurse, an administrator and a PhD student at the University of Minnesota School of Nursing all contributed to his preparation for this massive project. “We are implementing a single and converged electronic health record system for the first time, meaning we have to all move together,” he said. “When we go live, every nurse on the inpatient side will have their own dedicated smart phone. We will be able to do things we have never been able to do.”
Jason Fratzke
He says the PhD program at the School of Nursing has been particularly relevant to his work at the Mayo Clinic, a world-renowned research-intensive organization with facilities in Wisconsin, Iowa, Arizona, Florida and Minnesota. “The PhD education gives me an advantage in committees and other groups at Mayo,” he said. “I understand the vernacular, the research implications and am able to contribute to the conversation, represent nursing and lead the conversation in some cases.” “Clinical nurses with PhDs in nursing informatics bring a rare and valuable set of perspectives and skill sets to the health care system,” said School of Nursing Dean Connie White Delaney, PhD, RN, FAAN, FACMI, who is Fratzke’s PhD adviser. “An electronic health records system can meet all government requirements, but if it’s impractical for nurses to use or generates useless information, it serves no one.” Fratzke started his nursing career as a pediatric nurse and then became an emergency room nurse manager while he earned a master’ degree in nursing at the University of Minnesota. Now as a chief nursing informatics officer, there have been many instances, he says, when PhD coursework was directly applicable to something happening at work. “I’m living and breathing it while I’m learning. Whether it was around data vocabulary, standardization and classification of data, research methodologies — it all applies,” he said.

Barriers
to birth control DNP project improves access to contraceptive implant by Brett Stursa
As a family nurse practitioner, Martha Trevey has seen the paradigm around birth control methods shift to those that are long acting, like the contraceptive implant and intrauterine devices. But as someone who practices in homeless shelters, she saw that her patients often faced barriers accessing long-term birth control. At one Minneapolis clinic, only about 14 percent of the women who were referred to an off-site clinic to get an implant actually went on to get it. Trevey, who’s a student in the Doctor of Nursing Practice program, wondered why. She decided to explore this health inequity as she began her scholarly project, which is an evidence-based project to advance system level change. “I wanted to make sure that we were able to decrease the barriers to contraception for these women so they can be empowered and choose options that are good for them long-term,” said Trevey, who is employed by Hennepin Healthcare for the Homeless. Women whom she saw at the clinic were juggling many responsibilities and often struggled to find time for additional appointments. “They were really stressed and pressed for time,” said Trevey. To address these barriers, the project sought to offer women the contraceptive implant at the clinic onsite during same-day appointments. “Offering the contraception during same-day appointments was
16 | MINNESOTA NURSING
really important in meeting women where they were at and not providing any more stress,” she said. The project required administrative paperwork, contractual agreements and policy changes. In the process, Trevey learned that the clinic wouldn’t be reimbursed for the implants if they were offered the same day, so instead the clinic created a budget for the project. “Our team was very committed to health equity and was interested in pursuing the project despite the cost,” said Trevey. During the 12-week evaluation period, successful implant rates increased from 14 percent to 80 percent. She said she was surprised to see that when access to the implant was improved, more women desired getting one. “This suggests that when the contraceptive implant is more accessible, women are more willing to obtain this method,” said Trevey. For her work on the project, Trevey was awarded the Sandra R. Edwardson Award for Excellence in Doctor of Nursing Practice Leadership. “She is a change agent inspired by the needs of those she serves and her passion for her work is an inspiration to those she encounters,” said Clinical Associate Professor Jeanne Pfeiffer, who was Trevey’s project adviser. While the clinic continues to offer the same-day, onsite appointments, Trevey is working to implement additional policy changes so the clinic can be reimbursed for the implant. “Offering access to these options to women and empowering them is really important,” said Trevey.

Health care from an
indigenous-centered perspective
DNP grad inspired by Standing Rock’s integrative approach

by Brett Stursa
Rosemary Fister spent the first days of the new year studying for her board exams. After graduating in the spring of 2016 from the Doctor of Nursing Practice program, she was preparing for the psychiatric and mental health nurse practitioner exam. But her studies weren’t in a quiet library or on the couch at home. Instead, she juggled her exam preparation while volunteering with the Standing Rock Medic and Healer Council in North Dakota. “I am honored to be at Standing Rock during a historic convergence of tribal nations defending sacred sites, land sovereignty and natural land, air and water resources,” said Fister. “The Standing Rock Medic and Healer Council is dedicated to being here as people stand in resistance to the Dakota Access Pipeline and strives to be an indigenous-led and matriarchal collective.” Initially, Fister went to Standing Rock to help with a needs assessment of infrastructure at the camp. “The population grew very quickly and they wanted someone with a public health understanding to be able to take stock of what was there and what the needs were,” said Fister. “At one point, the camps collectively had 12,000 people. So the infrastructure needs included drinking water, sanitation, toilets and having access to emergency medical response.” While at the camp, Fister saw police use a water cannon on protesters, resulting in a mass causality incident with 300 injuries. “After seeing what I saw that night and being surprised that nobody died, I was concerned about what something like an eviction of over 10,000 people would look like and the potential for a mass causality incident that could be much worse,” she said. So Fister stayed on, as the temperatures dipped well below zero. “We work and live out of tipis, yurts and other structures heated by wood we chop, water we carry, food we eat together,” said Fister. Soon she took on the role of volunteer coordinator. “We have not just doctors, nurses and western providers, we also have a yurt set up specifically for midwives attending to women’s health care needs. There’s another space with herbalists, influenced greatly by one of our matriarchs from the area.
Rosemary Fister was volunteer coordinator at Standing Rock in North Dakota in the fall/winter 2016.
There is a space for bodyworkers, massage, acupuncture, cranial sacral, and there is a mental health and emotional well-being space, all working with each other to respond to health needs,” said Fister. Providers refer patients to one another and learn about other ways of addressing health care problems. “We come from an indigenous-centered perspective and know that medicine historically has been used sometimes violently as a tool of oppression. The way we talk about that to volunteers coming through is that we are decolonizing medicine. Part of that means working with a variety of modalities and offering options so that people have choices about the kind of care that they choose to seek.” This integrated, integrative approach was one Fister was already comfortable with. “I am lucky to have been in the psych mental health program at the University of Minnesota because there is a big focus on integrative health and healing woven throughout that program. It is incredible to see a health care system that is coming together so organically that includes all of those different opportunities for healing.”

Clearing the
hurdles
School leads collaborative efforts to address substance use disorders in nurses by Brett Stursa
The numbers are well documented. About one in 10 people in the United States has a substance use disorder, which mirrors the number of nurses and other health professionals with the illness.

That means about 300,000 nurses nationwide are living with a substance use disorder, and in Minnesota that translates to about 12,700 nurses. While the numbers are straight forward, the consequences of substance use disorders on lives are complicated and nuanced. Concerned about the scope of the problem and its impact on patients and nurses’ well-being, Dean Connie White Delaney, PhD, RN, FAAN, FACMI, sought to identify strategies to address the issue of substance use disorder in nurses.
“Nobody is untouched by addiction,” said Delaney. “Even though it brings to the surface many difficult issues, it is critical to the health of our patients and nurses that we talk openly and address it.” In 2014, Delaney invited state leaders in licensing, education and recovery, as well as the school’s largest clinical partners University of Minnesota Health and Fairview Health Services, to develop a deeper understanding of the landscape in Minnesota and identify a blueprint for action. All who were invited were quick to accept the invitation. Shirley Brekken, MS, RN, FAAN, executive director of the Minnesota Board of Nursing, was eager to get to work. “I think that each of us was looking for something, for a way to protect the public, be supportive of recovery and make nurses aware of how easily addiction can occur,” said Brekken. “There was recognition that if we do it together we can have a far greater impact than if each of us is operating on our own.” continued on page 22

“ Nobody is untouched by addiction. Even though it brings to the surface many difficult issues, it is critical to the health of our patients and nurses that we talk openly and address it.” – Dean Connie White Delaney
continued from page 21 The group, called Prevention Awareness Addiction Recovery Reentry and Support, quickly determined that education and support were priorities. Since the first meeting in 2014, the School of Nursing developed and launched an integrated statewide approach encompassing education, prevention, recovery and support. EDUCATING STUDENTS ON THE RISKS A stressful job, stigma and shame about substance abuse, and a lack of education regarding selfidentification all contribute to the risks nurses face. “There are a lot of risk factors that are unique to nurses that weren’t being discussed in the education that the students were getting,” said Dina Stewart, RN, a Doctor of Nursing Practice student who worked with Christine Mueller, PhD, RN, FGSA, FAAN, associate dean for academic programs, and others to develop a learning module for all pre-licensure students. “It’s largely something nurses don’t talk
22 | MINNESOTA NURSING
about still because of the stigma.” The module, which will be made available to prelicensure programs across Minnesota, is designed to help students understand the risk factors nurses face, with the idea that if nurses know their risks they are better equipped to avoid them. Another objective is to give emerging nurses a plan of action if a colleague exhibits symptoms. “One of my biggest hopes is that it can be discussed openly without any shame associated with it,” said Stewart. Many nurses don’t seek help because they fear they will lose their licenses to practice. The education describes the protections in place to assist nurses and other health professionals. Minnesota offers nurses and other health professionals a confidential monitoring program. “Nurses are worried they are going to lose their livelihood when really there are protections in place to assist them if they come forward on their own,” said Stewart.
OUTREACH
INTRODUCING PEER SUPPORT FOR NURSES IN RECOVERY The goal is that the education being taught in the classroom will be bridged to extend to orientation and ongoing professional development in practice settings. Until recently, nurses who sought treatment and hoped to re-enter the profession had little assistance from each other. Nurses in Minnesota now have a peer support network, which works to foster peer support for nurses in recovery. The meetings do not take the place of treatment or AA, but rather provide an opportunity for nurses to talk about their recovery and the challenges unique to nursing. “The main hurdles are stigma and shame. That’s especially true in nursing because we are dedicated to helping people and when we realize that we may have harmed people, the shame of that is overwhelming,” said Marie Manthey, RN, Nurses Peer Support Network board chair. Manthey’s own story of recovery is shared in the School of Nursing’s module.
Regular meetings of the network are held in eight cities across the state, and on any given week, there are 10 to 15 people at each meeting. Plans are underway to expand to more cities. “We would like to have meetings in every area where there are groups of nurses who would benefit from it,” said Manthey, a School of Nursing alumna. Reflecting on the progress made and the work still to be done, Dean Delaney credits the group’s collaborative spirit and willingness to be vulnerable during difficult conversations for its successes. “What’s underlying the development of this integrated model, ultimately, is ensuring the highest trust and safety of the public and also supporting our professionals,” said Delaney. “The way to enhance the health of the public is ensuring the health of care providers, including nurses. We have the framework and we are committed to build on it.”

A lifetime commitment to adolescent nursing The Society for Adolescent Health and Medicine presented Linda Bearinger, PhD ‘91, RN, FAAN, FSAHM, with the prestigious Outstanding Achievement in Adolescent Health and Medicine Award. This award recognizes individuals for their commitment to improving health and health care for young people. Bearinger, who began her work at the School of Nursing in 1991 and retired in 2016, dedicated her career to improving adolescent health and promoting excellence among those who care for adolescents. Early achievements in her tenure included the development of graduate and post-graduate training in adolescent health, through an interdisciplinary leadership education program. Funded through the U.S. Maternal and Child Health Bureau, this program prepares professionals from disciplines of medicine, nursing, nutrition, psychology and social work for specialist/educator/scholar roles in adolescent health. Credited with coining the specialty of adolescent nursing in tandem with funding of the Center for Adolescent Nursing by MCHB, Bearinger is also considered a pioneer in leadership training in adolescent nursing. During her career, Bearinger received 10 federal training grants in adolescent health and adolescent nursing, which provided specialized training for students and trainees.

A centenarian with a field agent in Guangxi.
Center members are collaborating with international partners to improve the health of older adults globally. Associate Professor Fang Yu, PhD, GNPBC, FGSA, FAAN, in collaboration with Zhaoyong Huang, director of the Institute of Nutrition and School Health, Guangxi Center of Disease Prevention and Control, launched a longevity research project to study the health of older adults living in China. Funded by the University of Minnesota Center for Global Health and Social Responsibility, this epidemiological study will examine factors such as diet, cognition, physical function, chronic disease and biomarkers that are associated with longevity and functional independence among those who are 100 years old or older. Guangxi Province in China is recognized as one of the top five longevity areas in the world. Among the 76 longevity towns in China, 25 are located in Guangxi. Since 1992, Guangxi has had the largest centenarian population among all Chinese provinces with 2,977 centenarians. This study will recruit 240 centenarians and 80 adults aged 60-80 years to serve as controls. Data will be collected using the well-established PINE study instruments. PINE was a longitudinal study of Chinese in Chicago (PI: Xinqi Dong). Yu was a mentee of the PINE study and currently serves as a PINE study mentor. In December 2016, Yu and her colleagues visited several centenarians to pilot test the data collection instruments in Donglan with the field teams. This study is expected to provide evidence of why some people age more successfully and live longer lives.

NURSING LEADERSHIP
Community engagement builds leadership Community engagement is a strategic goal of the School of Nursing and the University of Minnesota. Over the past few months the Katharine J. Densford International Center for Nursing Leadership has hosted a number of community groups to build transformational leadership capacity. For example, the center provided space for a group of community leaders to participate in a Massachusetts Institute of Technology massive online course (MOOC) about Theory U and the work of Otto Scharmer. The course delved into the transformational leadership model that is based on deep listening and attention to four levels of conversation, which reveal strategies for generative co-creation. While most of the course was virtual, with more than 20,000 participants, a dedicated group of people met face-to-face at the School of Nursing four times over the semester. Coaching Circles formed to help people process leadership challenges and move to action and impact. The center also has connected with Building Peaceful Community, founded by Donald Gault, to create teaching and learning resources. Topics included how to communicate and message change efforts, effective organizing strategies, what makes community action programs successful and what it takes to sustain healthy productive work environments. Gault’s 30 years of experience in public health informs his work and commitment to the principle of primary prevention. Daniel Pesut, PhD, RN, PMHCNS-BC, FAAN, director of the Densford Center, interviewed Gault to create four videos: Overview of Using Community Systems Organizing Strategy for Sustainable, Positive Change; Epidemiology and the ABC’s of Community Health; A Public Health Approach to Organizing Communities to Prevent Violence; and Creating and Sustaining Healthy, Productive Workplaces.

Can Fitbits help students establish healthy habits?
by Camille Brown
Ten University of Minnesota nursing students rang in the New Year with Fitbits on their wrists for a wearable technology study, led by Associate Professor Carolyn Porta, PhD, MPH, RN, SANE-A, with collaborators Clinical Assistant Professor Barb Peterson, PhD, APRN, PMHCNS-BC, School of Nursing; Boynton Health Research Director Katie Lust, PhD, MPH, RD; Associate Professor Marla Eisenberg, ScD, MPH, Department of Pediatrics; and Glen Morris, undergraduate research assistant. The students are wearing the devices for three months, tracking their steps, activity intensity, sleep and calories burned. They have access to their personal data in real time, and Porta is gathering pilot data to inform a larger health promotion study, including important information about students’ compliance.
CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL HEALTH CARE NEEDS
Children in the United States spend significantly more time in schools than in clinical or hospital settings. In public schools, families entrust management of their child’s health care needs to the specialized nursing care provided by licensed school nurses. School nurses are especially key in the education and care of children with special health care needs. In Minnesota, the School Nurse Organization of Minnesota strives to promote and advance the excellence of school nursing practice. SNOM and the Center for Children with Special Health Care Needs have a history of partnership. Recently, such a partnership among center faculty Ann Garwick and Wendy Looman, SNOM leaders Mary Bielski Heiman, MS ’05, BSN ’87, and Denise Herrmann, DNP ’07, MS ’96, and PhD student Camille Brown resulted in the International School Nurse Asthma and AttentionDeficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Project (I-SNAAP). I-SNAAP surveyed 203 school nurses in Minnesota and Iceland to explore practice, attitudes and beliefs related to the roles of nurses and families in the care of students with asthma and ADHD. Advanced education was associated with higher school nurse assessment of their confidence, skill and knowledge in using a family systems approach to caring for children with asthma and ADHD and in involving families in nursing care planning. Findings from this study support continued collaboration between Minnesota school nurses and the University of Minnesota School of Nursing. SNOM leadership was particularly essential in promoting the survey to Minnesota school nurses. Initial findings were presented by Brown to attendees at the annual SNOM conference in November 2016. Findings from this study will help guide future research and provide evidence supporting the role of school nurse as integral to health care teams for children with chronic conditions.
CHILD AND FAMILY HEALTH PROMOTION RESEARCH
While anyone could benefit from health information collected with a wearable device, college students are at a critical point in life in understanding themselves and establishing healthy behaviors. College students are often sleep deprived and report experiencing high levels of stress. Awareness of their physiological patterns could yield purposeful behavior change to improve their well-being or increase help-seeking behaviors. Thus far, one participant said she is paying more attention to when her heart rate is higher than she wants it to be. Another participant was positively surprised by how quickly she falls asleep at night and how many steps she takes during a regular work shift. National insurance companies have explored providing wearable devices to members because simple personalized health information might result in more preventive behaviors, fewer hospital visits and reduced health care costs. New Year’s resolutions, or not, these nursing students continue to wear their Fitbits, day and night.

A whirlwind of
learning experiences Jeff Aday, a MN ’15 grad, finds the right fit in a two-nurse hospital by Brett Stursa
After earning a degree in biology from the University of Minnesota Morris, Jeff Aday went on to pursue a Master of Nursing degree at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities. The MN program at the School of Nursing is an accelerated 16-month program for students with a nonnursing degree who want to enter the nursing profession. After earning his MN degree, he accepted his first position as a registered nurse at a 15-bed hospital in the rural community of Graceville, Minnesota. We asked him how providing health care in a rural community differs from his urban clinical experiences, how his education at the School of Nursing prepared him for this role and how he copes with the stressors that can come from being a nurse.

“ The most valuable aspect that was emphasized was the theoretical knowledge and approach to the profession of nursing.”
Q
Was it difficult finding your first nursing job?
Finding my first opportunity as a nurse was both as simple and complicated as I’d heard from mentors and professors. Jobs seem to exist at many different types of facilities, but finding a good fit where I could best develop my nursing skills required a bit of time. I didn’t want my first opportunity as a nurse to turn into a situation where I viewed the work I did as a job rather than a chance to advance in this field.
Q
What’s your first nursing position like?
I currently work at Essentia HealthHoly Trinity Hospital in Graceville, which provides health care to the town and surrounding communities in this rural area of Minnesota. It has been a whirlwind of learning experiences. I love not knowing who is going to come for services and how my abilities to give good care to those who need it match up with the needs presented.
Q
How is providing care in a rural community different than your clinical placements in the city or suburbs? There are only two nurses in the entire facility (an RN with another RN or LPN). This appealed to me because it meant that I am able to develop in the entire spectrum of nursing instead of developing in only one specific area. While my clinical nursing skills have been developing, my ability to think on my feet has grown leaps and bounds, as my facility manages inpatient, outpatient, emergency department and surgical patients. This sounds like an overwhelming variety, but being in a small town and in a critical access hospital, the number of patients is usually manageable. Based on my experience in this hospital, I would say the health care needs are not vastly different than what I had experienced during school, but some services that are available in a metropolitan area are at times two-three hours of transport away or only available during certain days of the week or month.
Q
What do you do to take care of yourself?
I have several friends who work in EMS, which is where I also gained my initial experience in health care. I rely on these people to help debrief about situations that arise during an emergency, a strategy that has served us well in past situations. Artwork also has a hand in destressing; I dabble in drawing still life in charcoal. I find it one of the most frustrating and satisfying things to put my mind at ease and shift focus from the intensity of emergency care. I also rely heavily on my American Indian roots—I am member of the San Carlos Apache Tribe—to keep me at equilibrium via song and prayer, which I learned while growing up in Arizona.
Q
How has your education at the School of Nursing prepared you to be a nurse? The most valuable aspect that was emphasized was the theoretical knowledge and approach to the profession of nursing. Understanding why the type of care is being performed before knowing the how has enabled me to have a better grasp on the ebb and flow of health care in general as well as nursing. www.nursing.umn.edu | 41

A MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT
Walking a little farther each day We all know that health care is constantly changing and evolving. We also know that nursing plays a critical role in health care and the School of Nursing is in a strong position to lead its transformation. Over the last several months, I have had been in conversation with alums and friends of the School of Nursing in Minnesota and other parts of the country. While they sense that the health care crisis is real, they also have great confidence in the vision and leadership of our school. They are concerned that we have an aging population with increasingly complex conditions, an expanding menu of costly and invasive interventions, and growing disparities in health care access and quality that are driving costs up and quality down. However they have also shared that the School of Nursing has positioned itself to systemically address these challenges to health care. Even more, they know that no other school is as well positioned to prepare leaders, discover new knowledge and partner with communities to improve health locally, nationally and globally. Let me share a few quotes from some of the people who, like you, are passionate about our mission: “The school has looked outward to the community, nation and internationally to see where the needs are—both current and future—to determine what role it can play in creating a better world.” Barb Balik, MSN ’79 “The U of M does an outstanding job of preparing nurses. We could hire all their nursing graduates each year. Nurses with more education tend to ask ‘Why are we doing it this way?’ and ‘How can we do this more efficiently and effectively?’ These are the nurses we want to hire. They want to get involved in improving the patient experience, quality and outcomes.” Travis Maher, MSM, BSN, RN, chief nursing officer at Abbott Northwestern Hospital At the end of the day, our mission is all about serving people through our faculty, staff and students. One of those people is Joyce Meyer from Cyrus, Minnesota, who lives with a disease that the School of Nursing has helped her understand and treat. Joyce is a participant in the School of Nursing’s effort to partner with health centers in greater Minnesota to improve outcomes for patients with peripheral artery disease, which affects one in five Americans over the age of 70 and makes it painful to walk. Joyce has learned a lot from the school and is doing her part to improve her health. Because of the vision and leadership of our School of Nursing and the students, staff, faculty and research that we produce, she can say, “I’m now able to walk a little farther each day.” There are so many ways to measure the impact of our school’s vision and leadership. Helping Joyce improve her health and live independently is one that we can take pride in!

An eye on improving access Bentson Scholarship instrumental in making a DNP degree possible by Brett Stursa As a pre-licensure nursing student, Logan Becker had the opportunity to learn from multiple nurse anesthetists. “I definitely found my calling after those experiences,” said Becker. When he graduated from Gustavus Adolphus College with a bachelor’s degree in nursing, he knew he wanted ICU experience before pursuing his CRNA goals. So he accepted positions in ICUs in Mason City, Iowa and Minneapolis. Becker hoped to attend the University of Minnesota’s Doctor of Nursing Practice program in nurse anesthesia because of its clinical relationship with the Minneapolis VA and other health care systems, the emphasis it places on gaining clinical experience in rural, CRNA-only anesthesia practices, and the resources that a large university can provide. “Among the schools I applied to, the University of Minnesota was my clear favorite so I was thrilled to be offered admission and quickly accepted,” said Becker. “I am truly honored to have had the opportunity to
continue my studies at the University of Minnesota.” Becker received more good news when he learned he received a Bentson Scholarship for $20,000 over the course of his DNP education. “I was ecstatic,” said Becker. “The financial assistance that the Bentson Scholarship has provided me over the course of my studies allowed me to focus on my studies and clinical training while taking away some of the stress that comes with paying for graduate school. When the clinical hours in our program started to increase and I was unable to continue working in the ICU, these funds were instrumental in helping make that transition more manageable.” Becker is already thinking about postgraduation and is eager to improve access to health care. “Growing up in rural Minnesota, I have seen some of these access issues first hand as they have impacted my friends and family members,” said Becker. “By providing

anesthesia services to patients in rural or underserved areas, I feel I could help to decrease the existing gap in health care access while serving communities similar to my hometown.”
