Education And Opportuntty: Creating A Scholarship Program In Ecuador, Holly Hanson
Theses and Graduate Projects
Educating young women offers significant benefits to societies, including economic progress and improved health outcomes. Despite the benefit, many girls around the world lack access and opportunity to education. The Rochester, Minnesota 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, Hands For Humanity, addresses this inequity through offering a college scholarship program for young Ecuadorian women living in Portoviejo, Manabi province, Ecuador. Hands For Humanity collaborates with Ecuadorian teachers and business leaders to select high-achieving students with a financial need. Currently there are six young women completing their college education with the help of the scholarship. Due to rising tuition costs and extended academic program …

Integrating Mindfulness Meditation Into Undergraduate Nursing Curricula, Michelle Yankowiak
Theses and Graduate Projects
Stress and anxiety impact the lives of undergraduate nursing students. Learning how to cope with the stressful demands of nursing school is essential for student success. Watson's caring and healing philosophy notes that learning to care for self is foundational in learning to care for others. Literature also reports that nursing programs across the country are lacking instruction on alternative therapies as a self-care method. A need to integrate self-care into curricula was identified by personal knowing as a nursing clinical instructor and through a self-care questionnaire to undergraduate obstetric nursing students. The integration of mindfulness meditation, as a means …

Leading The Way To Comprehensive And Compassionate Care Of Bariatric Patients, Wendy Kay Grimshaw
Theses and Graduate Projects
The past several decades have seen drastic increases in obesity worldwide. The United States (U.S.) is one of the leading countries for obese populations and has seen an even greater increase in its morbidly obese population, referred to as bariatric in the health care community. Many health care facilities designed to care for normal weight patients find themselves grappling to provide care for bariatric patients in facilities not built to accommodate their size. Widespread bias against obese patients, gaps in proper space and equipment, and knowledge deficits related to care needs and co-morbidities specific to the bariatric patient population need …

Nurses have been identified as having the knowledge and skills necessary to conduct and lead research studies. An educational foundation in research regulations, study management, and patient interactions would enable a registered nurse (RN) study coordinator to represent the nursing profession well through skills acquired to perform the job with efficiency and confidence. The purpose of this project is to create an educational module that highlights the importance of defining the role of the RN study coordinator and provides foundational research knowledge to assist with the transition into the role within a Thoracic Surgery Clinical Research Unit. A literature review …
Weight Bias: Promoting Nurses' Awareness, Beverly A. Kaehler
Weight Bias: Promoting Nurses' Awareness, Beverly A. Kaehler
Theses and Graduate Projects
Obesity is an epidemic in the United States. Health care providers, including nursing staff who specialize in obesity treatment are not immune to the prevalent negative perceptions of obesity in society. Literature has demonstrated how nurses' bias can affect the care they give the obese population. Education can help develop self-awareness and increased self-awareness can develop caring attitudes. An educational program, that used cognitive and affective domains, to increase nurses' sensitivity and caring attinrdes was developed and presented to the nurses on a general surgery nursing unit that specializes in bariatric surgery. The nurses found the education very helpful, but …

Self-Care For Native American People With Type 2 Diabetes: A Creative Approach To Enhance Their Well-Being, Manuela Przybyszewska-Wosiek
Theses and Graduate Projects
The development of culturally congruent visual resources on self-care in type 2 diabetes is a culturally appropriate method to provide education to the Native American patients. In particular, the creation of a series of illustrations on foot care is needed. Guided by Leininger's Culture Care Theory and the Sunrise Enabler, materials on foot care are developed through the convergence of emic (generic) and etic (professional) knowledge. Orem's Theory of Self-Care and the Native American perspectives are used to integrate concepts pertaining to self-care. This project supports the enhancement of health literacy as a component of health communication - a goal …
