Psychological capital (PsyCap) is defined as “an individual’s positive psychological state of development” (Luthans, Avolio, Avey, & Norman, 2007). Consisting of hope, optimism, resilience, and self-efficacy, PsyCap research suggests these components have a positive correlation with leader and follower job satisfaction, performance, and organizational commitment. Research also suggests that interventions can improve a leader’s PsyCap competency. In today’s challenging healthcare industry, leaders are charged with successfully navigating this complex environment full of change, uncertainty, and regulation in order to provide high quality, cost-effective medical care. Leaders look for ways to actively engage their teams to deliver this care while satisfying their need for job satisfaction and reduced burnout. This presentation will provide useful information that healthcare leaders may use to do just that. The presenters will define the PsyCap components of hope, optimism, resilience, and self-efficacy and highlight key research results related to positive leadership and organization outcomes. In addition, the presenters will demonstrate the importance of PsyCap in healthcare organizations and provide potential interventions to improve individual PsyCap.

Nurses experience many interactions daily and often experience sensory overload. Examples include multiple patient needs, critical events, phones ringing and hallway conversations. Job stress in nursing has been in the spotlight for many years. While some may attribute this to the Covid-19 pandemic over the past few years, there are multiple reasons nurses are stressed and require self- intervention and self-care. During this discussion, I will identify options to accomplish this goal.

Ever wonder about all those different studies done in Nuclear Medicine related to the gastrointestinal tract? How about why patients cannot have opioids before many of them? What about the other patient preparation? If so, join me as we explore gastrointestinal imaging in Nuclear Medicine with a focus on imaging of the gallbladder and liver.

For a system to have an effective patient safety program, leaders' attention is vital, and it can be visible through staff support and leadership engagement in coaching for interprofessional collaboration. Collaboration and good leadership influence employees' attitudes toward patient safety reporting programs.
This presentation will focus on using different leadership styles by healthcare professionals to improve patient safety reporting. It will also touch on utilizing the six domains of a culture of safety in implementing a safety program. With staff and leadership engagement, a just culture environment is evident and have shown to improve trust, patient safety, and quality of care

The Interventional Radiology Department noted an increase in patients returning for untimely tube exchanges usually due to preventable complications. The IR team determined that a lack of inpatient nurse education and comprehensive patient education was a potential cause to these patients returning to the department. The IR nurses provided hands on education the inpatient nurses, including troubleshooting common issues. Educational videos were created for patients to view prior to tube insertion and at anytime on Moffitt's YouTube channel. A marked decrease in untimely tube exchanges due to preventable complications was seen after implementation of these interventions.

The risks associated with the administration of iodinated contrast require a comprehensive plan to manage patients undergoing imaging with contrast. This poster highlights a systemwide process improvement project that utilized nursing informatics to address timely premedication of CT contrast patients with iodine allergies. The concepts of project management, nursing informatics and process improvement will be emphasized.

During this session we will discuss the importance of using end tidal CO2 for monitoring patients undergoing sedation in the IR suite. We will also discuss nursing compliance of the documentation of end tidal CO2. We will explore the barriers that IR nurses face when using end tidal CO2. To make capturing end tidal CO2 easier, we will compare different end tidal CO2 products to see which are more efficient and effective.

The Yale New Haven Health System (YNHHS) consists of five hospitals, each with a Heart and Vascular Center (HVC) procedural department providing varying types of interventions in the specialties of Interventional Radiology, Cardiac Catheterization, and Electrophysiology. A system- wide Advisory Committee made up of stakeholders from the HVC procedural areas at each delivery network identified safe patient handoff as a goal for standardization throughout the system for 2022. Providing consistent patient information and opportunity to seek clarification during handoff is a best practice for patient safety during transitions of care. This poster presentation session will describe the successful development and implementation of a standardized nursing handoff note at YNHHS, utilized during handoff of patients from the procedural areas to the patients’ next level of care.

This present retrospective descriptive study carried out between 2017 and 2022, in the tomography setting in a highly complex philanthropic private hospital, located in São Paulo- Brazil, aims to analyze the risk factors related to iodinated contrast extravasation in patients undergoing computed tomography and compare it with the related literature. A total of 146 events involving contrast extravasation were analyzed. Extravasations are considered adverse events and should be actively monitored, as they are an important quality measurement tool because they are actively linked to patient experience.
