Developmental Boxes
The assigned facility is a resource center that operates to assist families in need. Services offered include housing placement, homelessness prevention, securement of affordable childcare, after-school programs, and health education. The center has served the Mount Baker community for nearly three years and intends to continue partnering with public services to end the cycle of poverty and create brighter futures for those who need it most (Mercy Housing, 2021).
Our team conducted a windshield survey of the community served by the facility and determined there to be limited access to childcare in the area as well as minimal …

Development, Implementation, And Evaluation Of A Professional Practice Model: A Scoping Review, Gemma Doleman, Di Twigg
Research outputs 2022 to 2026
Aim:
The aim of this study is to synthesize available literature describing the development, implementation and evaluation of a Professional Practice Model.
Background:
A Professional Practice Model is an overarching theory-based framework that depicts nursing values and defines the structure and process of nursing care. No research has synthesized available literature on this topic in recent times. Evaluation: A review of English language papers was published from 2015 to 2022. Fourteen studies met the inclusion criteria.

Implementation Of An Evidence-Based Screening Tool For Children For Detection Of Developmental, Behavioral And Family Issues, Lyndsay Goss
Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) Projects
Background: Children are a vulnerable population who are at risk for a variety of developmental, behavioral and family concerns. Early intervention leads to improved outcomes. By implementing the comprehensive evidence-based screening tool the Survey of Well-being for Young Children (SWYC), within a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC), outcomes for these children may be improved through early intervention.
Methods: The SWYC survey was provided to parents and guardians of children ages zero to five years at one pilot site at a FQHC in New England during well child visits (WCV) over a 6-week period. Implementation success was measured through review …

Institute for Human Development
Introduction: Vitamin D plays an important role in brain development in experimental studies; however, the effect of vitamin D deficiency on child development remains inadequately characterized. We aimed to estimate the effects of vitamin D deficiency on neurobehavioural outcomes in children up to 18 years of age.
Methods: We searched PubMed, EMBASE, PsycINFO, Scopus, Cochrane Library, Web of Science and Open Grey for published studies up to 10th January 2020. We included all studies that assessed the effects of maternal or child vitamin D status or vitamin D supplementation on neurobehavioural outcomes in children. Study findings were synthesized qualitatively as …

The Protection Of Children And Their Rights: A Comparison Between The United States And Costa Rica, Abigail Rothweiler
Undergraduate Research Symposium
Abstract:
Introduction: In Missouri, there are over 13,000 children who are currently receiving care through the state foster care system. Because being removed from their families causes life-long trauma and decreased quality of life for many children, it is important that the situation is approached in the best way. While there are differences between St. Louis, Missouri and San Jose, Costa Rica, the Costa Rican child welfare system, El Patronato Nacional de Infancia (PANI), uses several strategies that may be beneficial in St. Louis.
Purpose: To examine the current policies and programs in San Jose, Costa Rica to …
Prenatal Alcohol And Nicotine Exposure And The Subsequent Cognitive And Behavioral Deficits Seen In Children, Abigail P. Stewart
Prenatal Alcohol And Nicotine Exposure And The Subsequent Cognitive And Behavioral Deficits Seen In Children, Abigail P. Stewart
Senior Honors Theses
Prenatal alcohol and nicotine exposure have well known physiological effects on the fetus. However, it is the goal of this thesis to inform the reader of of the deleterious effects that these substances can have on cognitive and behavioral development in children. A literature review in relation to this topic was conducted through online databases using key words. Though some of the results were inconsistent, enough evidence exists for women to be educated on the increased risks for cognitive and behavioral deficits in children exposed to alcohol and nicotine in utero.

Breast Milk Stem Cells: Current Science And Implications For Preterm Infants, Carrie-Ellen Briere, Jacqueline M. Mcgrath, Todd Jensen, Adam Matson, Christine Finck
Elaine Marieb College of Nursing Faculty Publication Series
Background: The benefits of breast milk are well described, yet the mechanistic details related to how breast milk protects against acute and chronic diseases and optimizes neurodevelopment remain largely unknown. Recently, breast milk was found to contain stem cells that are thought to be involved in infant development.
Purpose: The purpose of this review was to synthesize all available research involving the characterization of breast milk stem cells to provide a basis of understanding for what is known and what still needs further exploration.
Methods/Search Strategy: The literature search was conducted between August and October 2015 using the CINAHL, PubMed, …
The Benefits Of Breastfeeding, Avery Kordus
The Benefits Of Breastfeeding, Avery Kordus
Senior Honors Theses
Breastfeeding research is plentiful, and the majority of the literature shows that breast milk is the superior form of infant nutrition except in the rare circumstances of infant metabolic disorders, maternal drug use, or positive HIV status. In comparison to formula, breast milk provides improved cognition, development, behavior, bonding, nutrition, digestion, immunity, and long-term health with fewer diseases and conditions in infants. Mothers are benefited by breastfeeding through bonding, faster weight loss, and reduction in certain cancers and conditions. Breast milk contains the proper amount of carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, and minerals, and is also specialized for each infant and …
