Participants who engage in this educational intervention will be able to:
- Develop knowledge of how mobile technology and digital phenotyping can be used to track day-to-day changes in emotion and behavior in adolescents with ASD. This includes understanding the methodology, data collection strategies, and practical considerations for implementing smartphone-based studies in this population.
- Analyze and interpret early study results to identify trends, patterns, or risk factors related to emotional and behavioral fluctuations. This includes exploring how these patterns may differ across individuals and contexts, and understanding their relevance for detecting or predicting depressive symptoms in adolescents with ASD.
- Integrate knowledge from smartphone-based studies to inform future research designs, clinical assessment strategies, and intervention approaches. The goal is to leverage real-time behavioral and emotional data to better understand depression in the context of autism, support early identification, and guide personalized interventions.
- Participants will develop a foundational understanding of moral distress, including its definition, contributing ethical tensions, and relevance within healthcare environments. This goal includes recognizing moral distress as a measurable construct, understanding commonly used assessment tools, and appreciating its impact on clinician well-being, job satisfaction, and patient care outcomes. Emphasis will be placed on distinguishing moral distress from related concepts such as burnout and compassion fatigue.
- Participants will review key findings from existing research examining the frequency and contributing factors of moral distress in pediatric trauma nursing. This includes exploring common drivers such as resource limitations, ethical conflicts, communication challenges, and high-acuity care environments, as well as understanding the emotional, professional, and organizational consequences associated with sustained moral distress.
- Participants will examine practical strategies to address moral distress at individual, team, and system levels. This includes discussing approaches that support ethical dialogue, strengthen interprofessional communication, promote psychological safety, and encourage organizational policies that reduce moral conflict. The goal is to identify actionable strategies that enhance clinician resilience, improve team functioning, and support sustainable, high-quality patient care.
