As schools began reopening, following government mandated school closure early on during the COVID-19 pandemic, new safety measures and protocols were put in place to keep students and staff safe. School nurses have become essential to ensuring schools reopen safely. However, as school nurses were forced to adapt to their increasing roles and responsibilities, a method for providing continuing education to school nurses within an East Tennessee school district did not exist. The goal of this evidence-based practice project was to provide continuing education to school nurses on COVID-19 return to school guidelines via an e-learning modality. Larrabee’s Model for …

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 …

Effect Of Infant Breastfeeding Versus Formula Feeding For A Minimum Of One Month On Cognitive Outcomes In Early Childhood, Mary K. Bosson, Sarah Michelle Hodges, Madison Victoria Cavalli, Kaitlyn Grace Carmichael

Cognitive development is an important part of infant growth since intellectual predilections in infancy set enduring patterns. Evidence supports that exclusive or mixed breastfeeding for at least one month may improve general child cognition scores. Breast milk contains nutrients such as docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), arachidonic acid (AA), zinc, choline, and vitamin B12 that enhance myelination in the brain to improve cognition. Even if formula is able to be fortified with these vitamins and minerals, formula-fed infants tend to experience slower digestion with less nutrient absorption. Despite the potential nutritional gains of breastfeeding, there is a knowledge gap regarding how long …

BACKGROUND: Current statistics indicate cesarean section rates in nulliparous term singleton vertex (NTSV) pregnancies, a singleton first pregnancy > 37 weeks’ gestation in a vertex position, of 32.8% and rising. A peanut ball, a tool used to optimize pelvic opening and fetal head rotation, can decrease labor length and cesarean section rates. The aim of this evidence-based practice improvement project was to reduce the cesarean rate in NTSV pregnancies by 1% within three months. The project occurred in an urban 12-bed labor and delivery unit in Middle Tennessee. Participants included laboring women meeting NTSV criteria. METHOD: Plan- do- study- act cycles …
