Forward Thinking Poster Session/ Colloquy Presentation

Marquette University

Hosted by the Office of the Vice Provost for Research and ORSP

Where: Alumni Memorial Union

When: December 2, 2008

1:00 - 3:30 p.m.

Reception at 3:30 p.m.

Call for Posters and Colloquy Presentations

• Intent to Submit must be received at ORSP by October 6, 2008

• Abstracts and Letters must be received at ORSP by November 3, 2008

Purpose

This goal of this event is to celebrate and encourage faculty research that involves students, including

research in the humanities; behavioral and cognitive sciences; social and economic sciences;

engineering; computer and information sciences; education; math and physical sciences; medical and

health sciences; nursing; business; law; biological and biomedical sciences; and interdisciplinary

research. The specific objectives are to:

• Showcase prospective faculty research projects and the ways in which faculty involve students in

their work.

• Provide opportunities for researchers to interact with peers in other disciplines, form

interdisciplinary partnerships, and plan new projects.

• Encourage development of research and professional skills for undergraduate and graduate

students (e.g., planning research projects, preparing presentations and posters, presenting

research to a diverse audience of faculty and student peers).

Forward Thinking

At traditional conferences, posters and presentations are used to convey the results of work that has

been completed. Although presenters at such events often outline possible directions for future research,

the emphasis is on a research plan that has already been executed and on results already achieved.

This event is different: presentations will focus on projects that will take place in the next 12 months.

The projects being presented may still be in the planning phase. Presenters might have preliminary

results, or they might not. A project being presented may be the next logical step in a well-established

research program, or it may explore an entirely new path. Indeed, posters and presentations might well

resemble proposals.

Eligibility

• All Marquette University faculty members are welcome to participate.

• Participants must involve at least one Marquette University student (undergraduate or

graduate) in the planning, presentation, or execution of the project.

• A faculty member (or team of faculty members) and his or her student(s) may present one or

more projects.

• Each project is limited to one poster or colloquy presentation.

• The projects must be "forward-looking" – they must describe a project that will take place in the

next 12 months. Although you may present preliminary results, you do not need to do so in

order to participate.

• Presenters must submit their "Intent to Participate" forms and Abstracts as described in this

announcement.

Presentation Formats

For each project, presenters may choose the presentation format that best suits their discipline or project:

poster or colloquy.

1. Poster -- a project may be presented as a poster in the ballroom. Poster guidelines are included

in this announcement on p. 6.

2. Colloquy -- a project may be presented as a 15 minute paper or PowerPoint in the breakout

rooms. Colloquy guidelines are provided in this announcement on p. 7.

ORSP promotes the forward thinking event to the campus community at large and sends personal

invitations to the chairs and deans of those faculty members who are presenting posters and colloquies.

Event participants, particularly those who are presenting colloquies, are encouraged to invite their

colleagues and students to attend their presentations. This will ensure audience participation, as well as

promote the exchange of scholarly research between faculty and students

Important Note on Proprietary and Confidential Information

As this is a campus-wide event, the university is taking no special measures to safeguard the

confidentiality of materials being presented. Additionally, photographers and/or videographers will be at

the event. If your project involves confidential or proprietary materials, including those provided by third

parties (e.g., the subject of a Material Transfer Agreement) or if your project involves patentable subject

matter, contact Sherri Kirsch in ORSP (sherri.kirsch@marquette.edu

or x8-5329) to ensure that your

presentation does not result in public disclosure.

Three "Jump Start" Grants will be Awarded

Three grants of up to $1,000 each will be awarded to faculty researchers. These awards will allow faculty

researchers to purchase supplies or services, pay student assistants, or travel to archives or other places

as required to conduct the research. Awards cannot be used for faculty salaries or for faculty travel to

conferences. These are cost-reimbursable awards: an awardee's department will be reimbursed by

ORSP using an expenditure transfer. Costs must be incurred and the expenditure transfer completed

between December 15, 2008 and June 30, 2009.

Awardees will be notified by December 15, 2008.

You do not need to apply for one of these grants to participate in the Forward Thinking Poster

Session and Colloquy.

How to Apply for a Grant

If you do wish to be considered for one of the three grant awards, you must submit a separate grant

application letter along with your abstract by November 3, 2008. You letter must:

1. Be no more than one (1) single-sided, 8.5"x11" page long.

2. Bear the words "Grant Application" at the top of the page.

3. State your name and the title of your poster or colloquy.

4. Briefly state the project's significance and aims for a lay reader (think of this as an "elevator talk").

5. Describe how you will use the funds between December 15, 2008 and June 30, 2009.

How Awardees will be Selected

ORSP will select faculty and administrators to judge those projects that apply for the grants. Judges will

be asked to visit the applicant's poster or attend the colloquy and base their decision on the following:

1. Does the grant application letter make you want to invest in this project?

2. Is the poster or colloquy forward thinking (is it prospective, or has the work already been done)?

3. Is it likely that the proposed research will result in a future extramural grant application?

4. What is the quality of the student involvement in this research project (as evidenced, for example,

by student participation in this event)?

PROJECT TITLE: “A pilot study to develop a behavioral intervention to support self-regulated

pushing during second stage labor: A focus group of Certified Nurse-Midwives as Informants”

FACULTY NAME: L

isa Hanson, PhD, CNM, FACNM, Associate Professor, Nursing

STUDENT NAME: Kathryn Osborne, MSN, CNM, Nursing Doctoral Student

INTRODUCTION

The second stage of labor (SSL) is a time of labor from complete dilatation of the woman’s cervix through the

irth of the baby. The care and instructions that women receive during the SSL can directly impact maternal

and neonatal outcomes. Most women who experience the SSL are cared for in a manner that is not based in

scientific evidence but rather on arbitrary instructions that are routinely applied

1,2

. For example, early after the

onset of the SSL, women are instructed to hold her breath for prolonged periods, even if they have no urge to

push. This “traditional approach” jeopardizes maternal-fetal hemodynamics, and is associated with both short

and long-term maternal perineal damage, as well as maternal fatigue, distress and pain

. Further this approach

does not account for individual readiness to begin and maintain the strength and duration of pushing efforts.

Observational research has shown that women push spontaneously and effectively if provided the opportunity

Research results have contributed to a “re-conceptualized” SSL in two stages; latent (a period of maternal rest)

followed by active (desire and readiness to use spontaneous pushing)

. In this model of care, the woman’s

readiness to push is based on anatomic, physiologic and emotional readiness. What she needs to use this

approach is support from her care providers.

SIGNIFICANCE

Research has show that the re-conceptualized approach t

o SSL care improves circulation to the placenta and

fetus and is associated with less disruption of the delicate tissues of the pelvis and perineum. While scientific

evidence supports the use of this approach, the use of the traditional approach persists. Barriers and facilitating

forces related to the use of published evidence about SSL care need to be identified before an effective

intervention can be developed to promote evidence-based practice. The intent of this pilot study is to use a focus

group of CNMS as informants to identify factors that prevent and facilitate the use of evidence in the care of

women during SSL. The aim of this study is to gather information from practicing Certified Nurse-Midwives

(CNMs) that will be used to develop a full protocol for the behaviors that compose supportive care that is based

on the principle of self-directed pushing and a re-conceptualization of SSL. The behavioral intervention will

enable evidence to be more readily applied to bedside SSL care and improve the process of SSL care. The

ultimate goal of this study is develop further studies that will serve to improve SSL care.

FORWARD THINKING/INNOVATION

This study is innovative because it recognizes the challeng

es that CNMs face in using evidence in practice

during SSL care. CNMs provide direct SSL care. CNMs have more autonomy in practice that nurses in terms of

making decisions about the care that is provided during SSL

. Learning from CNM’s clinical experiences will

be helpful in building an intervention that has fidelity and can be tested in a prospective study. Dr. Hanson

plans to extend this study to observations of SSL care of CNMs in a separate funded, IRB approved study that is

in development. Kathryn Osborne will use the information gained from this study to develop an instrument for

use in her dissertation study. Therefore this study will facilitate further research of the student and faculty.

STUDENT INVOLVEMENT

Kathryn Osborne, MSN, CNM will take the lead on this p

roject with the support of and collaboration with Dr.

Lisa Hanson. Ms. Osborne will recruit the focus group participants (n=8), develop the focus group questions,

and lead the 2-3 hour focus group that will be tape recorded, transcribed and analyzed. Dr. Hanson and Ms

Osborne will systematically code the data and analyze for themes, coming to mutual agreement in the process.

Kathryn Osborne is a practicing CNM with good access to focus group informants who plans to study SSL care

for her dissertation. This study will help her develop a questionnaire that will be used in her dissertation that

will be a national survey of CNMs SSL practices.
