They overlooked her, or they singled her out in an attempt to draw her into some form of communication. Melissa seemed to be a sad child, unable to assertively reach out to others in her times of need and discomfort. ...

The purpose of this article is to describe the implementation of an SDM structure at a pediatric hospital. The hospital's chief nurse officer charged a group of nurses with developing SDM guidelines to outline the purpose, structure, and function of unit councils. A targeted, multifaceted approach to the implementation of these guidelines led to the successful standardization of nine existing unit councils and the expansion of the SDM unit council structure to all other hospital units. Work continues with guideline refinement in response to the real-life circumstances nurses encounter on the units, and the original group of nurses continues to review literature on SDM best practices. In addition, professions other than nursing, including multidisciplinary teams in dialysis, cardiovascular surgery, respiratory therapy, and child life, have adopted the guidelines for use in their departments.

While prior research suggests teachers encounter both first-order extrinsic barriers and second-order personal barriers, much of this research has focused on K-12 teachers, not early childhood educators. Applying the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology to early childhood education, the current study examines predictors of early childhood educators' access to and use of traditional technologies and newer mobile devices. Findings from 1329 teachers of 0-4-year-olds reveal that while extrinsic barriers influence access to a range of technologies, positive beliefs in children's learning from technology significantly predicted actual use of technology. Overall, the study provides new insight into factors influencing technology integration specifically for early childhood educators, a subgroup that has not been represented in much of the literature on technology integration in formal education.
