Research Presentations and Posters from AHNA Annual Conference
2009 - AHNA 29th Annual Conference
 This year we had six research papers and 28 posters at conference. The research papers varied and included three that focused on students learning:
1. The completion of a study, funded by an AHNA grant, by Lori Settersten PhD, RN, WHNP, C, FNP, BC, "The Effect of Esoteric Healing in Critical Thinking Among Family Nurse Practitioner Student",
2. Lisa Ruth-Sahd DEd, RN, CEN, CCRN presented her study, "The Use if Nursing Student Dyads to Create Sacred Space in the Clinical Experience"
3. "Holistic Coping in BSN Students" by Kathleen Hudson RN, MSN, MBA and and Linda Colvin RN, MS.
Two studies focused on self care for the nurse and nursing staff. Marlaine Smith RN, PhD, AHN-BC, FAAN presented a study by Anne Vitale PhD, APN, "Nurses' Lived Experience of Reiki for Self-Care" and Patricia J. Meyer, RN, MS, AOCN, LMT, CCAP presented "Aromatherapy for Stress Management: Caring for the Hospital Caregivers".
An unusual for AHNA and interesting study using a basic science research approach with rats was "Are We in "Tune" with Wound Healing?" presented by Susan McAlister DNP (c), RN, CMP. This study looked at the effect of different sound frequencies on the rats' pressure sore healing rates.
The posters from conference are organized in the table below.
