A go-to manual for any horse owner, this book addresses a range of equine behavioral problems, from the mild--refusing to stand still or tail rubbing, for example--to the severe, such as rearing under saddle or attacking other horses. With topics broken into four main categories--bad habits in the stable, correcting ground manners, problems under saddle, and the reluctant traveler--noted rancher and horse book author Heather Smith Thomas dissects each topic by addressing the source of the problem, providing solutions to the behavioral issue, and discussing what to do if the fix doesn't stick.

ASSESSING LONGTERM CHANGE IN THE CULTURE OF INTERPROFESSIONAL COMMUNICATION ON THE SURGICAL WARD SHANG-YEE SANDY YEH, HEATHER SMITH, SEAN BENNETT, JOSHUA GREENBERG, KILEY LACELLE, MAUREEN MCGRATH, PETER GLEN, DAVID CARVER, HUSEIN MOLOO, LARA WILLIAMSIntroduction: In 2014, the general surgery quality improvement team aimed to create a sustainable improvement in communication between nurses and resident physicians on the ward by implementing a change in patient handover and communication methods. Here we summarize the long-term changes in perceived collaboration and communication by nurses and residents following this intervention. Methods: A validated survey assessing perceived communication and collaboration was distributed to general surgery residents and ward nurses before the intervention, 9 months after and 2.5 years after the intervention. The surveys before, 9 months after, and 2.5 years after the intervention were completed by 28, 12, and 20 nurses, respectively, and 21, 15, and 21 residents, respectively. A fisher exact test was used to indicate statistical significance in change of survey results before and after the intervention. Results: Immediately post-intervention, nursesu2019 perceived collaboration with physicians significantly improved (39% pre-intervention, 84% post-intervention, p=0.01). Significantly more nurses felt their input was well received (57% pre-intervention, 92% post-intervention, p=0.01). On the delayed survey, however, only 65% of nurses continued to feel their input well received (p=1.0). The resident group perceived a significant change in how well important issues were communicated between team members (17%pre-intervention, 60% post-intervention, p=0.039). This remained statistically significant two and a half years later (66% delayed post- intervention, p=0.001). Conclusion: Overall, we found significant improvements in communication between nurses and residents 9 months post-intervention. However, these changes were not well preserved over time, particularly as perceived by the nursing staff. This suggests that our current interventions are inadequate to make a sustainable change in communication on the surgical ward. In keeping with the other quality initiatives, implementing a more robust, iterative process of evaluation with root cause analysis may enhance the sustainability of such initiatives in improving the culture of interprofessional communication on the wards.
