Multi-site study of provider self-efficacy and beliefs in explaining judgments about need and responsibility for advance care planning.
This study’s objective was to examine the impact of advance care planning (ACP) self-efficacy and beliefs in explaining skilled nursing facility (SNF) provider judgements about resident need and provider responsibility for initiating ACP conversations. This observational multi-site study anonymously surveyed 348 registered nurses, LPNs, and social workers within 29 SNFs. Providers who had more negative beliefs about ACP were less likely to judge residents in need of ACP and less likely to feel responsible for ensuring that ACP occurred. Providers with higher self-efficacy for ACP were more likely to feel responsible for ensuring ACP conversations.

Ready to go home? Assessment of shared mental models of the patient and discharging team regarding readiness for hospital discharge.
A critical task of the inpatient interprofessional team is readying patients for discharge. Assessment of shared mental model (SMM) convergence can determine how much team members agree about patient discharge readiness and how their mental models align with the patient's self-assessment. The objective of this study was to determine the convergence of interprofessional team SMMs of hospital discharge readiness and identify factors associated with these assessments.
