A qualitative case study protocol for an exploration of the transition to practice of new graduate nurses in long-term care is presented. For the new graduated nurse, the transition to professional practice is neither simple nor easy. This time of transition has been examined within the hospital setting, but little work has been done from the perspective and context of long-term care. As the global population continues to age and the acuity of persons accessing services outside of hospital continues to increase, there is a need to better understand the transition experience of new graduate nurses in alternative, tertiary settings such as long-term care. Therefore, the purpose of this report is to situate a study and describe a protocol that explored the transition to practice experience of seven new graduate nurses in long-term care using Yin’s case study methodology. The case or phenomenon being explored is new graduate nurse transition to practice. This report presents an overview of the literature in order to situate and describe the case under study, a thorough description of the binding of the case as well as the data sources utilized, and ultimately reflects upon the lessons learned using this methodology. The lessons learned include challenges related to precise case binding, the role and importance of context in conducting case study research, and difficulties in disseminating study findings. Overall, this report provides a detailed example of the application of the case study design through description of a study protocol in order to facilitate learning about this complex and often improperly utilized study design.

This article will discuss strategies that the speech-language pathologist (SLP) can use to assess and address the source of resistance to new programs and thereby facilitate optimal outcomes.

Change Policy

The organizational structure of long-term care (LTC) facilities often removes the rehab department from the interdisciplinary work culture, inhibiting the speech-language pathologist's (SLP's) communication with the facility administration and limiting the SLP's influence when implementing clinical programs. The SLP then is unable to change policy or monitor the actions of the care staff. When the SLP asks staff members to follow protocols not yet accepted by facility policy, staff may be unable to respond due to confusing or conflicting protocol. The SLP needs to involve members of the facility administration in the policy-making process in order to create successful clinical programs. The SLP must overcome communication barriers by understanding the needs of the administration to explain how staff compliance with clinical goals improves quality of care, regulatory compliance, and patient-family satisfaction, and has the potential to enhance revenue for the facility. By taking this approach, the SLP has a greater opportunity to increase safety, independence, and quality of life for patients who otherwise may not receive access to the appropriate services.
