  The loss of a spouse is a significant psychological and physical health issue for older adults, the fastest growing age group in the United States. A search was performed to review publications over the last 20 years examining the effect of interventions on grieving processes for older bereaved spouses. Nine publications met inclusion criteria and were critically reviewed. Study designs, populations, and outcomes measured varied widely. All intervention types showed improvements in grief-related outcomes, but statistical significance of major measures between interventions and controls was absent in all but one study using a mind-body intervention. Recommendations for future studies include testing of secondary and tertiary bereavement types and categorizing grief patterns in study populations.

  Practice Improvement/Innovation: A first-of-its-kind, Bachelor of Science in Nursing program, focused in Integrative Health (BSN-IH) has been formed. Background/Significance and Review of the Evidence: Integrative health is a growing area. Providers and hospitals are becoming more whole-person centered and infusing integrative health modalities into care. The Triple Aim effort in the U.S. incorporates the patient experience, population health, and reducing costs. Integrative health modalities are personalized, provide symptom reduction, and lessen medication use while increasing patient satisfaction, health outcomes, and curtailing costs (University of Minnesota, 2015).Purpose/Aim: The aim of this simulation is to teach undergraduate baccalaureate nursing students about the ontology of nursing and its ability to influence the health of the community through an integrative lens focusing on the whole person (mind/body/spirit).Project Description: Level 1 is an innovative concept-based clinical simulation course. The simulation incorporates the concepts of Professional Identity, Functional Ability, Safety, Communication, Patient Education, Health Promotion, Sensory-Perception, and Pain (Giddens, 2017; Hoffman & Sullivan, 2017). Additionally, the Six Integrative Nursing Principles (Kreitzer & Koithan, 2019) were embedded, aligned, applied, and evaluated in this simulation.Outcomes: Upon completion of this simulation course, students will have a solid integrative health perspective that will provide the base of engagement for healthy, proactive holistic nursing care. Relevance to Nursing: Integrative health has become a progressive movement in society that nurses need to understand and have current knowledge about.
