Examination Of Covid-19 And The Spanish Flu Of 1918, Caden A. Striegle
Honors Projects
COVID-19, for many across the globe, has been a pandemic the likes of which has never been seen before. It has caused many aspects of life to change in order to adapt to the new limitations and cautions brought about by the global spread of a novel virus. However, almost exactly 100 years prior, a strain of the H1N1 influenza virus also known as the Spanish Flu of 1918, similarly uprooted life for millions of people around the globe. These two pandemics, while similarly leading to great disruption of global health, had many differences in the demographics impacted as well …
Adverse Childhood Experiences: Effects Of Covid-19, Evan Guo
Adverse Childhood Experiences: Effects Of Covid-19, Evan Guo
Honors Projects
The evaluation of an adult's health status consists of several entities. These factors can include physical, mental, and emotional health in an individual's history contributing to their overall health. When studying such factors, some researchers emphasize the importance of recognizing events experienced during a person's childhood that affect their development, and therefore, their adult health status. Today, as people continue adapting to the COVID-19 pandemic and changes in regulation of standards for socialization, it is becoming apparent to healthcare researchers how these new modifications are highly impactful to the development of children and adolescents. When studying the various factors that …

Women’S Human Right To Healthcare Senior Project, Madison Rosol
Honors Projects
Healthcare is denied to people around the world and women experience this human rights violation more often than men (Ewerling et al., 2018). This study was designed to investigate whether this is more evident in certain systems of healthcare by conducting a cross-sectional survey of people in the United States, the Dominican Republic, and Canada. These countries were selected because each of them has a unique healthcare system. The responses from the survey were analyzed and coded for common themes and converted to quantitative data. From this data, it was concluded that Canada rated the worst in healthcare overall but …
Systematic Review Of The Association Between Cultural Competence And The Quality Of Care Provided By Health Personnel, Amanda Skipworth
Systematic Review Of The Association Between Cultural Competence And The Quality Of Care Provided By Health Personnel, Amanda Skipworth
Honors Projects
The purpose of this research project is to determine if a relationship exists between cultural competence and the quality of care administered by health care professionals. Challenges with providing care begin to arise when cultural barriers limit the provider’s ability to provide adequate care. In the past, many professionals have struggled with how to approach patients from diverse backgrounds and this discomfort continues to grow. With minority populations in the United States rapidly growing, it is largely beneficial for these professionals to understand and be aware of the varying cultures seeking medical care. To address the research question, a systematic …
The Interactions Between Oral Biofilms, Antibiotic Resistance, And Dentistry, Maxine Taylor
The Interactions Between Oral Biofilms, Antibiotic Resistance, And Dentistry, Maxine Taylor
Honors Projects
Antibiotic resistance is a pressing concern that demands further action to reduce and develop new countermeasures. Antibiotic resistance impacts all fields of health and medicine, including dentistry. Many of the preventive and restorative dental procedures are due to a bacterial cause. Knowledge of oral biofilm development mechanisms and the interactions and relationships between oral microbiota is necessary to combat the spread of antibiotic resistance and develop more effective dental treatments. Exploring how the oral microbiomes and their treatments impact the health of the rest of the body is another important consideration since dentistry is part of the general healthcare system. …
The Effect Of Oncolytic Viruses In Aiding Cancer Immunotherapy, Anushka Singh
The Effect Of Oncolytic Viruses In Aiding Cancer Immunotherapy, Anushka Singh
Honors Projects
Oncolytic viruses are known as genetically engineered viruses or ones that can be found in nature, that are used to selectively reproduce in cancer cells and kill them without harming the normal and healthy cells. Oncolytic viruses have been considered an effective form of immunotherapy and offer a new approach for cancer treatment. Only one oncolytic virus has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the USA, which is T-Vec (talimogene laherparepvec). This is a second-generation oncolytic herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). Another oncolytic virus has been approved only in China in 2005, which is called …
Senior Level Nursing Students Knowledge And Attitudes Regarding Sexually Transmitted Infections, Maddison Stacy Pontes
Senior Level Nursing Students Knowledge And Attitudes Regarding Sexually Transmitted Infections, Maddison Stacy Pontes
Honors Projects
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are a continuous health concern in the United States (United States Department of Health and Human Services [HHS], 2021). Nurses, as health promoters and leaders within the community have a unique role to provide education, screening, and treatment for STIs in all health care settings that could in turn result in a substantial decrease to overall STI rates. Current research indicates STI rates are increasing across the country, and Bungay et al., (2016) asserts that nurses may not be working within their full scope of practice to address this issue. Lack of focused nursing education resulting …

Strategies For Preventing And Treating Opioid Use Disorder And Overdose – A Literature Review, Ian M. Degram
Strategies For Preventing And Treating Opioid Use Disorder And Overdose – A Literature Review, Ian M. Degram
Honors Projects
The use of prescribed and illicit opioids in the United States is still a major contributing factor to overdose deaths nationwide. Two out of every three overdose deaths in 2018 were related to chronic opioid use (Division (DCD), 2018). Continual research has been conducted over the last decade in an attempt to reduce the negative impact that opioid analgesics have on public health. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released updated prescription guidelines, and in 2018 Congress addressed a proposal for a multi-step plan to reduce the stigma surrounding opioid use disorder. This article addresses these policies, as …

Moving Past The Binary: Transgender And Gender Non-Conforming Students’ Experiences Of And Perspectives On College Campus Fitness Centers, Rachel E. Petterson
Honors Projects
Transgender and gender non-conforming (TGNC) people face various mental and physical health disparities. Despite this, spaces related to health and wellness are not always inclusive. Similarly, college campuses are often not as inclusive or accommodating as they should be. This study looks at the experiences of TGNC students at campus fitness centers. Through both quantitative and qualitative data gathered through an online survey, it aims to better understand the following: the presence of inclusive facilities; the perceived importance of facility variables; use of campus fitness facilities by TGNC students; what improvements they would like to see; and how any of …

Faces Of Aces For Nursing Education, Kelsey Bredeweg, Angela Raterink
Honors Projects
Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are traumatic events that occur in childhood. They include children experiencing violence, abuse, neglect, or witnessing violence in the home. ACEs also incorporate environmental factors that threaten a child's stability and safety, such as having family members struggle with substance abuse, mental health, or instability due to parental separation or absent family members. There is significant evidence that ACEs are related to negative health outcomes in adulthood including chronic health problems, mental illness, and substance misuse. ACEs are common and experienced by many. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1 in 6 adults …

Essential Tremor: A Review, Grant S. Taylor
Essential Tremor: A Review, Grant S. Taylor
Honors Projects
Essential tremor (ET) is one of the most prevalent movement disorders globally: approximately 1% of the population is affected (Haubenberger & Hallet, 2018). In the past, ET has been grossly oversimplified clinically and pathologically and only through recent study has the complexity of the disease process and presentation been made apparent. Despite the recent advances in research regarding ET, the general public is still largely unfamiliar with the various aspects of the disease (Cristal et al., 2018). Perhaps even more surprising is the similar lack of knowledge that ET patients have regarding their own disease (Cristal et al., 2018). Recent …
