Caring Matters: Creating A Holistic Bsn Program And Evaluating Caring In Nursing, Erin Magnuson
Caring Matters: Creating A Holistic Bsn Program And Evaluating Caring In Nursing, Erin Magnuson
Doctor of Nursing Practice Projects
Caring is foundational to professional nursing practice and is defined by Simone Roach (2002) as “the locus of all attributes used to describe nursing”. In an increasingly complex healthcare environment, the delivery of nursing care that is centered on caring is fading. Nurse educators are called to address this issue by developing a curriculum that places equal importance on caring and competence in nursing. While creating a curriculum centered on caring, educators must also develop methods to evaluate caring. Within a newly designed Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program with holistic foundations, rubrics were created to evaluate caring and …
Evaluating Child Maltreatment Prevention Programs & Services: A Qualitative Study, Laura Abrass
Evaluating Child Maltreatment Prevention Programs & Services: A Qualitative Study, Laura Abrass
Master of Social Work Clinical Research Papers
This is a qualitative study looking at the model of child maltreatment prevention programs within a large Midwest metropolitan area. The rate of child maltreatment is alarmingly high in the United States as over 40,000 children die of homicide every year due to child maltreatment (World Health Organization, 2014). Research suggests that there are many factors that can increase the likelihood of a parent maltreating their child including having a stressful home environment, family history of abusive tendencies, substance abuse, or other stressors. With aims of addressing these risk factors associated with child maltreatment, parenting support and skills programs are …
Conducting A Shared Mental Model Of Student Evaluation: Implications For Nurse Educators, Dorie Fritz
Conducting A Shared Mental Model Of Student Evaluation: Implications For Nurse Educators, Dorie Fritz
Master of Arts/Science in Nursing Scholarly Projects
Subjective evaluation of student performance, by its definition, is open to bias, the possibility of being inequitable, and of being unfair. One faculty member may consider a student performance passing, while the next faculty member may not. Grading criteria may not have the same meaning to all evaluators, which compounds the issue. In search of narrowing the variables, faculty may develop a shared mental model, where faculty reach agreement on the terms and criteria used for subjective evaluation. The use of a shared mental model should decrease subjectivity, and result in student evaluations that are more fair and equitable. This …

The Host Home Program Model For Lgbtq Youth Experiencing Homelessness: A Program Evaluation, Megan M. Mcteague
Master of Social Work Clinical Research Papers
Youth homelessness is continually on the rise throughout the United States. While youth in general who are experiencing homelessness are at increased risk for victimization, chemical use/abuse, and mental health conditions such as depression and anxiety; lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer/questioning (LGBTQ) youth are at much higher risk for these barriers to well-being, among others. This study evaluated one program that specifically serves LGBTQ youth who are experiencing homelessness. Using a qualitative design, individuals involved in the program were asked to fill out surveys and provide feedback about how the program meets its stated goals of providing shelter, meeting …
Evaluating A Mind-Body Approach For Military Veterans With Chronic Pain, Leah M. Martin
Evaluating A Mind-Body Approach For Military Veterans With Chronic Pain, Leah M. Martin
Master of Social Work Clinical Research Papers
The primary goal of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of an eight-week Mind-Body Pain Management group at a VA Health Care System in the Midwest. The Mind-Body Pain Management group is offered to Veterans who exhibit symptoms of chronic physical pain. Effectiveness was determined by examining Veterans’ pretest, posttest, and follow-up responses to the Quality of Life Inventory (QOLI), Pain Rating Scale, and the VA Pain Outcomes Questionnaire (VA-POQ). A secondary objective of this study was to investigate potential relationships between Veterans’ demographic information (gender, age, combat history, and service-connected disability status), as well as access to prescription …
