REIMER</p><p>Investigating expertise has proven difficult and successful inquiry into nursingexpertise has been limited. The purpose of this dissertation is (1) to describe thedevelopment of a program of research related to flight nursing practice, (2) to describethe development of the Middle Range Theory of Flight Nursing Expertise, (3) to explorethe usefulness of applying complex system characteristics in investigating expertise, and(4) to report the findings of a cooperative inquiry investigation that provided the initialexploration of the Middle Range Theory of Flight Nursing Expertise.Three manuscripts related to flight nursing practice and expertise was developed.The three manuscripts for publication are: (1) Flight Nursing Expertise: Toward aMiddle-range Theory, (2) The Contribution of Complex System Characteristics toNaturalistic Decision Making in an Investigation of Flight Nursing Practice, and (3) AnExploration of the Middle Range Theory of Flight Nursing Expertise in Clinical Practice.We choose complexity science as a theoretical approach to this investigation.Several complexity science characteristics (open system, non-linearity, self-organization,and emergence) influenced the choice of a methodological approach - cooperativeinquiry. Two rounds of inquiry were conducted. The first round consisted of the creationand completion of a post-flight questionnaire to assess expertise in flight nursing. Theviiisecond round entailed the conduction of individual interviews (critical decision method),and identified three themes which were: anticipating future events, expanded decisionmaking, and partner cuing. The results of both rounds of inquiry provided support for theinclusion of each concept identified in the theory and provided initial support for eachproposition.The results of this investigation provide initial support for the Middle-rangeTheory of flight Nursing Expertise. Additional exploration of the theory will includepossible revision of the theory to incorporate the concept of partner cuing, and theexpansion of the theory to include additional flight team compositions and modes oftransport. An additional application of this theory may include the expansion of thetheory into an interdisciplinary conceptual framework applicable to each professioninvolved in patient transport.</p> 2010-07-06 English text Case Western Reserve University School of Graduate Studies / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=case1270242549 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=case1270242549 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
