Integrating The Concept Of Trauma Into An Undergraduate Nursing Curriculum, Jacey Walker
Integrating The Concept Of Trauma Into An Undergraduate Nursing Curriculum, Jacey Walker
DNP Scholarly Projects
Adverse childhood experiences, or ACEs, are early childhood traumas such as abuse, neglect or household dysfunction that can cause chronic physical and mental health problems across the lifespan. Approximately 61% of the adults in the United States have experienced ACEs. The prevalence of ACEs among nurses is at least comparable to population prevalence, and rates may be higher in subpopulations of individuals who work in helping professions. The stressful and highly interpersonal nature of nursing work may exacerbate and compound the health impacts of a nurse’s underlying ACEs, affecting not only the nurse’s health, but also his or her work …
Impact Of A Telephone-Based Care Management Program On Health Outcomes For Patients With Type 2 Diabetes And Hypertension, Abbegail Miller
Impact Of A Telephone-Based Care Management Program On Health Outcomes For Patients With Type 2 Diabetes And Hypertension, Abbegail Miller
DNP Scholarly Projects
Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and hypertension (HTN) were the 7th leading cause of death in the United States, accounting for over 160,000 deaths annually. Complications related to T2DM and HTN are preventable with lifestyle modifications and medications. However, research has shown that lack of patient self-management, poor medication adherence, and physician time restraints limit disease improvement. A telephone-based care management program (CMP) provides a solution to meeting patient needs. Purpose: The purpose of this scholarly project was to evaluate individual biomarkers for glycemic and HTN control, as well as self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) over one year of …
Self-Reliance And Self-Efficacy As Determinants Of Mental Health Treatment Seeking Intention In A Sample Of Student Service Members/Veterans, Leigh Holdsambeck
Self-Reliance And Self-Efficacy As Determinants Of Mental Health Treatment Seeking Intention In A Sample Of Student Service Members/Veterans, Leigh Holdsambeck
DNP Scholarly Projects
Problem Statement: High rates of mental illness and poor treatment seeking have plagued the military for decades. As an organization that demands resilience, sacrifice, strength, and courage from its members, many servicemembers develop deep-seated self-reliance and self-efficacy. Though essential in many critical situations, these traits often complicate a servicemember's willingness to seek care for a mental health concern. Student servicemembers/veterans (SSM/Vs) are at an increased risk for poor mental health outcomes owing to the compounded stressors of military service and academia. Purpose: To measure the impact of elements of military service, namely self-reliance and self-efficacy, on mental health …

Music And Nationalism: The Complex Relationships Of Sibelius, Bach And Shostakovich With Their Respective Countries, Deena Rizkalla
Recital Papers
One of the most defining characteristics of the nineteenth century is the global phenomenon of nationalism. In the wake of the French Revolution, countries began to conceive of national self-determination, a concept which “holds that every ‘nation,’ a unified community of people with a desire and capacity for self-governance, is entitled to exclusive control of its own territorial state” (Keitner 2007, 2). In order to strengthen national identity, countries needed to foster a sense of belonging in their population, and the most prominent way they achieved that was through the cultivation of culture. Literature, art, and music bonded people together …
Exploring The Impact Of Care Delivery On Families Of Children With Medical Complexity, Shelby Pawlowski
Exploring The Impact Of Care Delivery On Families Of Children With Medical Complexity, Shelby Pawlowski
DNP Scholarly Projects
Background: Children with medical complexity (CMC) are considered most medically fragile and require the most health care needs. Medical care for CMC is described as fragmented, uncoordinated, and crisis-driven with a tendency to over-medicalize the child and under-support the family. The intimate link between caregiver and child health supports further exploration of factors that may influence family health-related quality of life (FHRQOL) in families of CMC. Purpose: The purpose was description of the population of CMC receiving rehabilitation services in the community setting and exploration of the impact of a comprehensive outpatient rehabilitation facility (CORF) on FHRQOL. Review of Evidence: …

DNP Scholarly Projects
Abstract
While RN retention has been a perennial challenge, COVID-19 has exacerbated the problem. The project’s purpose was to study RNs’ perception of communication, resources, and leadership during COVID-19, and the impact on RN turnover in a multi-hospital system. 3280 RNs’ engagement survey responses and turnover percentages from pre-COVID-19 (November 2019) were compared to engagement survey responses and turnover percentages 12 months later (November 2020). 90% (n = 2963) were female and 43% (n = 1396) were between the ages of 25 and 39 years. The majority of RN respondents were employed 1-9 years (59%, n = 1934). …

A Quality Improvement Project To Improve Communication And Reduce Hospital Readmissions, Mackenzie Thomas
DNP Scholarly Projects
Background: More than 25 million people are readmitted to the hospital within 30 days of nursing home admission. With most nursing home patients receiving Medicare, Medicaid, or other publicly funded services, readmissions significantly burden the healthcare system. Poor communication within nursing homes may contribute to poor health outcomes and unplanned hospital readmissions. Purpose: To reduce readmission rates at two skilled nursing facilities by improving staff communication through consistent use of the INTERACT STOP AND WATCH (SW) tool. Design: The quality improvement project reviewed all admissions, transfers, and readmissions occurring before and during the project to determine the impact of the …
Look At Her: The Subversive Spectacle Of Grande Dame Guignol Cinema, Michelle Smith
Look At Her: The Subversive Spectacle Of Grande Dame Guignol Cinema, Michelle Smith
English Theses
While the Grande Dame Guignol films of the early 1960s served in their time to capitalize on the reputations of aging female stars and the growing popularity of the horror genre, an updated reading of this subgenre proves that it is rich with social critique regarding the feminine experience, social performance, and the tendencies of classical Hollywood cinema that promote a dominant, patriarchal social narrative. While many popular and critical responses diminish them as “psycho-biddy” or “hagsploitation” films, the Grande Dame Guignol tradition’s transformation of its actresses from glamorous icons to unrecognizable villains rejects such limiting appraisals by focusing on …

Implementing The Quality Of Care Partnership To Reduce The Cost Of Screenings For Sexually Transmitted Infections On A Southeastern College Campus, Amy Guidera
DNP Scholarly Projects
College students are a priority preventative healthcare population that can engage in high risk behaviors which may concurrently increase the potential for unsafe sexual practices, including contracting sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Early education, screening, treatment, and partner notification are important interventions for breaking the chain of transmission and recurrence in relation to preventing poor health outcomes and mitigating college dropout rates. The aim of this quality improvement project was to determine if the reduction in STI screening costs for college students (aged 18-30 years old) would increase the amount of STI screenings conducted at a university health center over the …

Women Composers: A Historical Survey Of Their Music And Its Validity For Use In The Vocal Studio, Amanda Anderson
Women Composers: A Historical Survey Of Their Music And Its Validity For Use In The Vocal Studio, Amanda Anderson
Recital Papers
Though the accepted canon of vocal literature for classical singers is extensive, repertoire by female composers is largely overlooked or omitted when considering what comprises this canon. The lack of the female presence “does not mean that women have been silent as composers, performers, and participants in other facets of music” (Citron 2000, 41). The history of vocal music is peppered with female composers, many of whom were singers themselves, but the majority of these composers have been hidden in obscurity, overshadowed by their male counterparts, or dismissed due to their lack of public recognition. Though the limitations of social …
