Abusive head trauma (AHT) is a serious form of child maltreatment that is the primary cause of fatal head injuries in children younger than 24 months and is the cause for over 50% of severe or fatal traumatic brain injury incidences. These injuries can be caused by impact, shaking, or the combination of shaking and impact. These multi-factorial injuries can cause intracranial and spinal damage, retinal hemorrhages, and fractures of ribs and other bones. The age and severity of injuries will be used to assess the diagnosis of AHT. When AHT occurs, it is often tied to the behavior from …
Mind Your Mama! Addressing Implicit Bias, Racism, Antiracism, And Reproductive Justice With Healthcare Providers To Improve Maternal Outcomes, Caroline Toby
Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) Projects
Background: Maternal health care providers’ implicit racial biases affect quality of care and have serious repercussions, including significantly increased rates of maternal mortality among Black women. Implicit bias training, particularly involving multipronged approaches stretched over time, is effective at increasing bias awareness and gaining practical skills to prevent bias from impacting patient care. Purpose: The purpose of this quality improvement project was to elevate implicit bias awareness and use of evidence-based strategies by resident physicians in order to decrease negative outcomes for Black women receiving maternity care. Methods: An educational intervention was implemented with obstetrics and gynecological residents in a …
Stop The Stigma! Eliminating Implicit And Explicit Bias Toward Adult Obese Women Receiving Gynecological Care: A Quality Improvement Project To Cultivate Empathy And Increase Knowledge Of Best Practices, Mary Ellen Burke
Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) Projects

Obese women may delay or avoid gynecological care due to fear of stigma, inadequate equipment and embarrassment about their weight. Review of Literature: In the United States, 70.7% of adults, almost three quarters of the adult population are overweight or obese. Purpose: The purpose of this quality improvement project was to improve the quality of care and empathy toward obese women by health care providers in an OB/GYN practice through …

Breast cancer is a major public health concern in the United States and remains a priority for national women’s health centers, primary care practices and cancer control organizations such as the American Cancer Society (ACS). The cancer care continuum includes the spectrum of prevention/risk reduction, early detection, treatment, and living with the diagnosis. Currently there are no proven primary prevention options for women at average risk of developing breast cancer; therefore, secondary prevention interventions such as screening mammography and clinical breast examination (CBE) are required to reduce morbidity and mortality. This manuscript describes a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) led …

Interprofessional Roles Shoulder Dystocia: Maximizing Safety In Community Hospitals, Elizabeth Yznaga
Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) Projects
Prompted by evidence that clinical simulations improve patient safety, team simulations are emerging in hospital settings. Accrediting organizations such as the U.S. Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (Joint Commission, 2004, American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, 2002) have recommend simulation of obstetrical emergencies, including shoulder dystocia for hospital teams. National patient safety mandates for simulation training of critical events have not been available to small, rural hospitals because of lack of talent and equipment, creating a gap in resources. Other than demonstrations by manikin companies, this author has currently been …
