Description
The purpose of the study was to determine the level and type of public policy involvement among registered nurses (RN) who are members of the Arizona Nurses Association (AzNA). Furthermore, the aim of the study was to identify the knowledge base and motivation of nurses and their involvement in public policy as well as the barriers and benefits. A 20- item survey was sent to all of the members of AzNA. There were 39 responses used in the analysis. The highest reported public policy activities in which the nurses had participated were: voted (90%), contacted a public official (51%), and gave money to a campaign or for a public policy concern (46%). Lack of time was the most frequently reported barrier to involvement and improving the health of the public was the most frequently reported benefit to involvement. The number of public policy education/information sources and the highest level of education positively correlate to the nurses' total number of public policy activities (r = .627 p <0.05; r = .504, p <0.05). Based on the results of stepwise linear regression analysis, the participants' age, number of education/information sources, and efficacy expectation predict 68.8% of involvement in public policy activities. The greater the number of education/information sources, the greater the number of public policy activities nurses report having participated in.

Description
This project was a teaching project for nursing students to educate them on how to cope with a patient death and what to expect when that situation comes in their career. The format for the education is a poster which will be displayed in the grace center. The idea came from the fact that student nurses are not exposed to a patient death and are also not prepared to cope with emotionally difficult situations like that. This poster stressed the importance of utilizing therapeutic coping mechanisms and mitigating negative ones. Also addressed were the responsibilities of postmortem care and cultural considerations regarding death. The main point of this project was to get student nurses to focus on developing positive coping skills prior to encountering a difficult situation in their career.
