Description / Abstract
MNU Nursing Capstone Final Paper. Abstract: The incidence of obesity in the United States is reaching epidemic proportions, with over one third of the population (Centers for Disease Control [CDC], 2016a) or 93 million (Obesity Action Coalition [OAC], n.d.) being affected. Nurses can reverse the level of socially tolerable prejudice and stereotyping behavior seen in healthcare (OAC. n.d.; Sutin & Terracciano, 2013). The bariatric population must be recognized as having its own cultural identity. Effective and long-lasting cultural competency training through virtual simulation can offer a much-needed remedy, providing essential knowledge and skills needed to help fulfill the American Nurses Association’s (ANA; 2015) expectations of the professional nurse. This proposed change project proposed a pilot study to compare the effectiveness of Second Life (SL; Linden Research, 2016) to Shadow Health (2015). The registered nursing staff from two different nursing units in one hospital would be randomly assigned to participate in one of the virtual worlds. Participant evaluation is expected to be accomplished through pre- and post-intervention self-assessments using Cultural Competence Assessment Instrument-University at Chicago (CCAI-UIC), which has displayed excellent reliability with a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.76-0.82 (Balcazar et al., 2009).
