    Podcast 62: Emergency Department Treatment for Addiction
    Jan 19 2025
    In this Bell Work Talk, Kory will talk about addiction and how it is a very stigmatized disease. In his last podcast, he defined addiction, neurobiology of addiction, discussed brain failure, and how the cravings of addiction change our body. He will now discuss the harm reduction strategies and treatment for substance use disorder. Addiction can happen to anyone, and we must really learn the science behind it, and reduce the stigma that this group faces. Many times patients with addictions will avoid medical care because of the stigma that they often receive. Kory Scheideman is an Emergency Department nurse manager that has been in the emergency world for over 18 years as a nurse, and prior to that an EMT/Fire Fighter for 5 years. For the last 6 years, Kory has helped develop an ALTO program, Medication Assisted Treatment program in 6 different Emergency Departments.

    Podcast 61: Forensic Nursing in Switzerland
    Dec 19 2024
    In this Bell Work Talk, we talk about Forensic Nursing in Switzerland. History, current situation and an outlook into the future. - Hints on how to implement Forensic Nursing - The importance of Networking to implement Forensic Nursing - Obstacles in implementing a new nursing specification - Get an overview how Forensic Nursing is developing in Switzerland or other European countries My name is Dominice, I am 40 years old and I work as a Forensic Nurse since two years at the Institute of Forensic Medicine in Zurich. Since April we have a project at the Canton of Zurich where hospital emergency room staff can call us Forensic Nurses when they have people affected by sexual or domestic violence. We Forensic Nurses go out into the hospitals to document injuries, do DNA-swabs and talk with the people affected about next steps that can be done, mostly connect them to victim counselors. In Europe there is the “Istanbul Convention” who needs to be realized by the countries who signed the Convention. Goal of the convention is, to bring better support for victims of domestic or sexual violence. Switzerland has developed an Action Plan to implement the goals of the Istanbul Convention over the next few years. Forensic Nurses are or can be part of the plan. Forensic Nursing itself is relatively new in Switzerland and there are not a lot of possibilities to work as a FN in Switzerland at the moment. But we are working on it.

  • Episode 59: Telemental Health Assessment and Implications for IPV in Rural Settings

    Episode 59: Telemental Health Assessment and Implications for IPV in Rural Settings
    Nov 9 2024
    In this Bell Work Talk, Dr. O’Briant will discuss that violence and abuse in rural America is exacerbated by limited access to support services for victims of intimate partner violence (IPV) due to family connections with people in positions of authority, geographic isolation, transportation barriers, stigma of abuse, lack of available shelters and affordable housing, poverty as a barrier to care, and other challenges. Victims of abuse who live in small communities may be well-acquainted with local health care providers and often voter-elected law enforcement officers. Individuals may fear being seen walking into a mental health clinic, with subsequent (and reality-based) fear that deter them from seeking help. Thus, advances in technology are becoming a much-needed option. Although telehealth has been used for some time in rural health settings, only in more recent years has there been an increase toward quality trauma-informed care. With increasing focus on the impact of social determinants of health, agencies continue to shift to telehealth to provide virtual support. Specifically, telehealth visits can potentially extend the reach of the limited number of primary care and mental health providers to those who are significantly in need of services. Deborah O’Briant is a nursing educator with over 20 years as an RN and 13 years of experience as a family nurse practitioner working in a variety of clinical settings, including the Emergency Room. She currently teaches at Texas A&M University College of Nursing and is the coordinator for the Family Nurse Practitioner Master degree (MSN) program and the interim coordinator for the Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) program. She has a strong interest in rural healthcare and helps provide care to women in underserved communities in Texas using grant funds awarded to Texas A&M College of Nursing.
