Engaging students in healthcare policies

Abstract

This presentation will allow those nurse leaders involved in nursing education to instruct students about open access dissemination participation options. Particularly those options offered in scholarly and clinical repositories. The focus will be on STTI's free resource, the Virginia Henderson Global Nursing e-Repository (the "Henderson Repository"). This unique resource allows nurses and current nursing students in accredited programs to share their nursing research, research-related items, education objects (including patient, student, continuing education), and evidence-based practice materials in a global platform while retaining controls over those submissions. Publishing is a part of the nursing profession and yet only a fraction of nursing research and evidence-based practice materials reach the public via traditional publishing paths such as scientific journals and books. To ensure that nurses receive credit for all of their work and not just a few select pieces published through traditional methods, they need to take an active part in the distribution of their work using only the best and most trusted resources such as the Henderson Repository. Journal articles are only the tip of the iceberg. Below the surface lies a rich pool of materials that deserve to be shared and used by the nursing profession. Materials such as dissertations, theses, capstone projects, committee reports, research studies, graduate papers, outcomes commentaries, policy statements, patient education tools, guidelines, presentation slides and papers, posters, quality improvement tools, measurements/ tools/ surveys, and the list goes on. Most repositories allow authors to retain copyright. The Henderson Repository is one of those repositories. Nurses should maintain control over the materials that they have worked so hard to create. What are you waiting for? Come to this session to learn more about open access dissemination and repositories and why you and your students should participate. There are benefits to individual authors as well as groups and corporate authors. Share your knowledge, take credit for your work, maintain control, and discover the advantages of participation in the Henderson Repository.
