The Effects Of Music Therapy And Cuddling On Symptoms Of Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome, Allie Tasket
EURēCA: Exhibition of Undergraduate Research and Creative Achievement
Problem Statement: Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome is a group of withdrawal symptoms infants can experience after birth due to the abrupt discontinuation of opioids/narcotics exposed to in utero. These symptoms can include pain, nausea, irritability, vomiting, and tremors.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of cuddling and music therapy on symptoms of neonatal abstinence syndrome including heart rate, respiratory rate, and Finnegan scores (FS).
Study design: A one-group pre-test-post-test quasi-experimental design was used to compare the effects of cuddling and music therapy on neonatal abstinence syndrome symptoms. Cuddling involves a trained cuddler holding an …

Health Information Technology & Simulation Lab (HITS Lab) is an interprofessional effort aimed at enhancing consumer and professional health education through the advancement of health information technology. The HITS Lab brings together expertise from multiple disciplines to promote active simulated learning and the development and testing of new health technology. The lab’s latest development is the Interactive Debriefing Application (IDA). This tablet application will engage students as they observe medical simulations. The IDA will transform students from passive to active observers as they engage with what they are seeing in the simulation. The application will also enhance the face-to-face debriefing …

Within the healthcare realm, innovative technology has become an integral part of teaching in today’s nursing education, specifically computer-generated teaching applications. A new application that combines both nursing simulation and teaching methods regarding electronic fetal monitoring and fetal heart rhythms was developed at the University of Tennessee in fall 2014.This application was created in collaboration with both the College of Engineering and the College of Nursing. The Electronic Fetal Monitoring App displays instructor-created fetal heart rate (FHR) and maternal contraction patterns to simulate a monitor enabling live- feed interpretation in the classroom or simulation setting. It also has the potential …

Red Bird Water Kiosk Pavilion _ Clean Water Clean Life, Garrett Keyes Nelli
EURēCA: Exhibition of Undergraduate Research and Creative Achievement
Architecture has the power to strengthen community bonds, support a healthy life style and enrich individual lives. The Red Bird Water Kiosk seeks to achieve all three of these on the site of the Red Bird Mission campus, located deep in the Appalachian Mountains of Clay County, Kentucky. This is an area where most live below the poverty line, and about 64 percent of water sources are contaminated. As a result, lack of clean water has forced many locals to turn to unhealthy living standards. Because of these conditions, the county ranks as one of the poorest in the nation, …
Married And Unmarried Cohabitation Impact On Maternal Reproductive Behaviors And Neonatal Health Factors, Ashley Steinmetz
Married And Unmarried Cohabitation Impact On Maternal Reproductive Behaviors And Neonatal Health Factors, Ashley Steinmetz
EURēCA: Exhibition of Undergraduate Research and Creative Achievement
There has been a rapid increase in the number of unmarried couples that participate in the same family practices as their married counterparts such as having children and cohabiting in the same residence. Unmarried cohabiting mothers are at a higher risk of smoking, experiencing symptoms of depression and having more stressful pregnancies than married cohabiting mothers. These conditions place the neonates of unmarried cohabiting mothers at an increased risk for low birth weight, low Apgar scores and low gestational age. Such findings suggest that these unmarried cohabiting mothers and their neonates are not receiving the proper support required during pregnancy. …

Decreasing Hospital-Related Complications Using Hourly Nurse Rounding Focused On The 4 P'S, Chad Morgan Phillips, Tiffany C. Dixon, Amanda N. Bessey, Dale E. Cuva
EURēCA: Exhibition of Undergraduate Research and Creative Achievement
This review of literature sought to find the best practice for nurse rounding in hospitals in an effort to reduce hospital-related complication (falls, pressure ulcers) and improve patient satisfaction. Current research shows a growing trend toward hourly rounding centered on addressing basic patient needs, also known as the 4 P's (pain, potty, position and presence). See abstract for more details.
