1D: Protecting Patients, Shaping Professionals: A Caring Framework for Addressing Unprofessional Comportment

Wednesday, September 23  |  2:00 p.m. – 2:45 p.m.

Remediation processes for unprofessional behavior by nursing students remain inconsistent and often unsupported by evidence-based, theory-guided approaches. In this presentation we will share findings from a qualitative study exploring experiences of faculty who have remediated unprofessional comportment. Additionally we offer a new framework, based on our research findings and Swanson’s theory of caring, to help educators more effectively address student behavioral issues.
