The objective of this literature review is to identify the most effective interventions to relieve procedural pain in infants and neonates. Forty articles were analyzed and synthesized to determine the best pain relief methods to use when providing nursing care to infants and neonates. Based on the results of the literature review, nutritive sucking, positioning techniques, and …
Breast Feeding Vs Bottle Feeding Effecting The Amount Of Hospitalizations In The First Year, Haley Maurer, Becca Young, Shelby Bohman
Breast Feeding Vs Bottle Feeding Effecting The Amount Of Hospitalizations In The First Year, Haley Maurer, Becca Young, Shelby Bohman
Lake Campus Research Symposium Abstracts and Posters
Breastfeeding and formula feeding are two ways to feed an infant after it is born. The importance of this is significant because of infections that children are suspectable to at such a young age. Children who breastfeed exclusively are shown to have lower infection/hospitalization rates than children who are formula-fed. Breastmilk has several qualities that help prevent infections in infants that formula does not. Formula is a good source of nutrients but it does not have the ability to stop infections from occurring. Infections can be very serious for infants especially if they are born preterm so having a way …

Lake Campus Research Symposium Abstracts and Posters
Welcoming home a new baby is a challenging and sometimes stressful situation for even the most seasoned of parents. There are several decisions parents must make about the care their new baby will receive. One of those choices is kangaroo care. Although this intervention may not always be performed due to immediate medical concerns, immediate bathing, hospital policies, and cultural norms, it has been proven to have several benefits. Kangaroo care is defined as skin to skin contact in which the baby is placed on a parent’s bare chest and is swaddled in warm blankets similar to how a mother …

The Effects Of Music On Anxious Autistic Patients, C. Homan, Emily M. Buening
Lake Campus Research Symposium Abstracts and Posters
High levels of stress and low self-esteem are common in autistic individuals, especially with young adults. Various techniques have been done to help these levels even including musical interventions. Not many people know the effects music therapy has on a patient with autism. However, music can decrease the effects of anxiety and heighten self-esteem. Music therapy gives autistic patients the ability to learn how to control outbursts through music. Music therapy can allow a patient with severe autism the ability to share their emotions, and allow them to gain self-worth.
Alcohol Consumption And Its Effect On Liver Transplant Failure, E. Short, R. Pinchot
Alcohol Consumption And Its Effect On Liver Transplant Failure, E. Short, R. Pinchot
Lake Campus Research Symposium Abstracts and Posters
There is a stringent process to determine who can receive liver transplants. Alcohol is an important part of this process, with US transplant centers requiring a period of abstinence prior to transplant, lack of access to livers for alcoholics due to beliefs about their ability to stay sober, and monitoring of people considered "high risk" for recidivism after the transplant. While there is clear data on post-transplant alcohol use in transplant recipients with alcoholic hepatitis, more recent data has shown comparable alcohol use rates in non-alcoholic hepatitis patients, which makes the impact of alcohol use on transplant failure rates regardless …

In Utero Drug Exposure Impact On Infant Health, Katie Edwards, Lisa M. Borges, Carlie J. Schoenherr
Lake Campus Research Symposium Abstracts and Posters
Drug use during pregnancy has many impacts on the baby’s and mother’s health. Prenatal drug use affects a child’s development during his or her life. When exposed to in utero drug use the baby tends to have a lower birth weight, preterm birth, and intrauterine growth restrictions compared to a baby not exposed to drugs. The number of infants being born with withdrawal to drugs is increasing. This is an important problem because the number of fetuses exposed in utero to drugs is increasing. Research shows that exposure does pose a risk to the fetus and birth outcomes. Finding and …

Evaluating An Evidence-Based Suicide Risk Assessment Intervention For An Inpatient Mental Health Hospital Unit, Tyler D. Green
Doctor of Nursing Practice Program Projects
Suicide is a worldwide problem that claims over 800,000 lives annually (NIMH, 2017; WHO, 2017). Almost one third of mental health professionals feel they have received inadequate training on suicide prevention (Jahn, Quinnett, & Ries, 2016). Asking mental health clients to agree to a no-suicide contract is a widely-used practice in the inpatient mental health care setting but lacks efficacy and can have ethical implications (Bryan et al., 2017). The NGASR was selected from a variety of suicide risk assessment tools for incorporation into a public inpatient mental health hospital unit in the Midwestern U.S.A. The NGASR is unique in …

Text Message Follow-Up Reminders In The Pediatric Urgent Care, Kimberly R. Joo
Text Message Follow-Up Reminders In The Pediatric Urgent Care, Kimberly R. Joo
Doctor of Nursing Practice Program Projects
Follow-up care by a primary care provider (PCP) immediately following a visit to the pediatric urgent care is recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Unfortunately, studies indicate that between 26-56% of patients do not complete a recommended follow-up appointment with PCPs. Communication in the form of reminders to parents, guardians, and patients over the age of 18 may have the potential to increase rates of follow-up appointments after an urgent care visit. Short Message Service (SMS) text messages have been shown to be an effective means of communication between providers and patients in multiple types of healthcare settings. The …

Asthma is also one of the most expensive conditions to manage, requiring direct health care services if not adequately controlled. Asthma symptoms and exacerbations are also the number one reason for school absences among children. The PICOT question that guided the review of the literature to answer the clinical question was: In children with asthma, how does a school-based self-management asthma education program compared to standard management affect school absences and …
The Use Of Hybrid Educational Method For Trauma Training Among U.S. Air Force Nurses, Karey M. Dufour
The Use Of Hybrid Educational Method For Trauma Training Among U.S. Air Force Nurses, Karey M. Dufour
Doctor of Nursing Practice Program Projects
Trauma assessment is a core skill for all United States Air Force nurses. However, with the recent withdrawals from Iraq and Afghanistan, there are serious concerns about how Air Force nurses can maintain high-level trauma skills without the frequent exposure and opportunities in which to perform them. Although training affiliation agreements with local civilian trauma centers exist, it is difficult to routinely send nurses to receive training in these facilities due to time constraints. Simulation is a feasible way to provide essential training and allows participants to practice critical skills during reproducible scenarios in a realistic but non-threatening environment.
