Guest guest Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 An update on the NUrsing SIG progress:I am still collecting courageous supporters for the application process. You need not do anything but state your support for the endeavor - absolutely no cash or public speaking commitments will be solicited! I have begun a Yahoo list in advance, as experience tells me it is the most time-consuming part of the post-application management. I have sent invitations to those who expressed interest. The focus of the list will be on the opportuities and challenges of behavioral coaching from the nursing role. ACT will have the major emphasis as the organizational structure and method of implementation. Other modalities, such as motivational interviewing (my second favorite) will also be welcome topics of discussion. The list info is below. I do not expect high volume from such a specialize, newly born list. I do, however, hope that this will give us a common fire around which to build community with the nursing contact I have been getting, while the SIG is being constructed. It is my hope that nurses will from here see some value in ACBS membership and thus begin a journey into coaching that will expand ever more deeply into profession.

Thanks for putting up with me while I try to launch this!----- Description (Edit, Add Photo) Behavioral coaching can increase Nursing's value to clients by helping them succeed at diabetic diets, smoking cessation, managing risk behaviors, and more. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), in particular, offers a model for mapping and walking a clear path to a valued life.

I am trying to see just how much interest there is in setting up a SIG for nurses interested in ACT and behavioral change coaching. My hope is that folks on the general lists getting this might forward it along to nurses they know, creating a bit of a viral momentum. My name Darrell King. I work as a psychiatric RN for the State of New York in a community setting, and my focus is on coaching behavioral change. I am involved in bringing the use of CT into the Nursing setting for the purpose of assisting clients with behavioral change in areas from diabetic diets to medication compliance to managing psychotic symptoms. I see this tool as something useful to nurses whether they work in the home or the hospital, a way to make healing in this area available even on a nurse's limited schedule. I think we can benefit from establishing a nursing SIG focused on behavioral change, which can have many functions. One of these is the online discussion list, wherein members exchange ideas, thoughts, problems, and suggestions in pursuit of growth and problem-solving.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 I now have six ACBS members supporting the Nursing SIG. Seven, if I count. So, three or four more nurses, or ACBS members who love nurses, would be helpful. Of course, vote with your conscience and only help out if you think a special interest group for nurses would add benefit to the overall organization. It might be important to know that I have been getting interest from a few contacts outside the membership as well, and a few have already registered with the Yahoo list. I am hopeful this will become a new outreach for ACT not the Nursing profession. As far as I know, supporters need do nothing but vote for the birth of the SIG.Thanx,D An update on the NUrsing SIG progress:I am still collecting courageous supporters for the application process.

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 Hi Darrell, I think an ACBS Nursing SIG would be of great value. Nurses serve a great number of people, in hospitals as well as in doctor's offices and community programs. I can think of dozens of ways that a nurse's ability to help his or her patients would be enhanced with ACT skills.

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 Thank you, Wanda, and I agree. Are you an ACBS member? If yes, would you vote to support the SIG?I will invite you to the discussion list. Hopefully, we can soon begin to hammer out details and begin tossing ideas about in there. Thanks! :)D Hi Darrell, I think an ACBS Nursing SIG would be of great value. Nurses serve a great number of people, in hospitals as well as in doctor's offices and community programs.
