Abstract

The Honor Society of Nursing, Sigma Theta Tau International (STTI) conducted its 43rd Biennial Convention in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA from 7-11 November 2015. More than 2,000 nurses from around the world gathered at the convention, which had as its theme “Serve Locally, Transform Regionally, Lead Globally.”

Program objectives of the 43rd Biennial Convention include:

  • Identify strategies that promote collaboration in interprofessional initiatives
  • Enrich the achievement of knowledge, leadership, and professional service to promote and sustain collaboration amongst diverse communities
  • Explore innovative strategies to promote excellence in global nursing
  • Enhance clinical, patient, and educational outcomes through transformative nursing practice

These conference proceedings are a collection of abstracts submitted by the authors and presented at the convention. To promptly disseminate the information and ideas, participants submitted descriptive information and abstracts of at least 300, but no more than 1,500 words. Each oral and poster presentation abstract was peer-reviewed in a double-blind process in which three scholars used specific scoring criteria to judge the abstracts in accordance with the requirements of STTI’s Guidelines for Electronic Abstract Submission.

Finally, the opinions, advice, and information contained in this publication do not necessarily reflect the views or policies of STTI or its members. The enhanced abstracts provided in these proceedings were taken directly from authors’ submissions, without alteration. While all due care was taken in the compilation of these proceedings, STTI does not warrant that the information is free from errors or omission, or accept any liability in relation to the quality, accuracy, and currency of the information.
