Perception Of Healthcare Providers On Mirror Therapy For Stroke, Dhwani Kamlesh Doshi
Perception Of Healthcare Providers On Mirror Therapy For Stroke, Dhwani Kamlesh Doshi
Dissertations and Theses
Stroke is a very important health problem faced worldwide with high mortality and incidence. The majority of stroke survivors suffer temporary or permanent disabilities of which hemiparesis is one of the most common. Hemiparesis makes it difficult for patients to perform their activities of daily living and often they have declining quality of life. Mirror therapy (MT) is a an inexpensive, easy and safe intervention which has been proven to be very effective to improve the motor function in hemiparetic stroke. Despite this, it is not often employed. Hence, the purpose of this study was to explore the awareness and …
Chronic Migraine: Role Of Cgrp Antagonists And Botox, Gabriella Hassan
Chronic Migraine: Role Of Cgrp Antagonists And Botox, Gabriella Hassan
Dissertations and Theses
Chronic migraine (CM) is characterized by the International Headache Society classification (ICHD-3) as headache that occurs for greater than or equal to 15 days a month, lasting 4 or more hours. For chronic migraine patients, the goal with prophylactic treatment is to prevent future attacks and reduce the migraine frequency and severity. OnabotulinumtoxinA is the most universally accepted medication for the treatment of chronic migraine; and if successful, reduces migraine frequency up to 50%. The goal of CGRP (Calcitonin-gene-related peptide) antagonists is to reduce the frequency of chronic migraines by targeting the CGRP protein that is elevated during a migraine …
Study Of Satisfaction Of Inpatient Discharge Based On Nurses’ Perceptions, Hong Lin
Study Of Satisfaction Of Inpatient Discharge Based On Nurses’ Perceptions, Hong Lin
Dissertations and Theses
Patient satisfaction plays an important role in providing quality health care, and discharge satisfaction is part of overall patient satisfaction since it reveals how patients feel about their stay. In this paper, we evaluated inpatient discharge satisfaction based on nurses’ perceptions. An anonymous survey was used to evaluate how satisfied the patients were when being discharged from the acute care hospital with survey questions answered by nurses who work on medical-surgical floors. Data was collected from the questionnaires and analyzed using Excel.
Towards Wide Implementation Of Dance Therapy In Mental Health, Pin-Wen Chou
Towards Wide Implementation Of Dance Therapy In Mental Health, Pin-Wen Chou
Dissertations and Theses
In recent years, Dance Movement Therapy (DMT) has been increasingly mentioned in the field of mental health counseling. Despite the progress of DMT in terms of studies showing its efficiency for various forms of mental health conditions such as depression and trauma, the implementation of DMT amongst mental health therapists is still not as widespread as other forms of therapies such as verbal and art therapies. In this project, we aim to determine the underlying causes of its low implementation by surveying a set of populations, specifically mental health patients, mental health therapists that do not specialize in dance/movement therapy, …
Tropical Cyclone Hazards In Relation To Propagation Speed, Jiehao Huang
Tropical Cyclone Hazards In Relation To Propagation Speed, Jiehao Huang
Dissertations and Theses
As the population and infrastructure along the US East Coast increase, it becomes increasingly important to study the characteristics of tropical cyclones that can impact the coast. A recent study shows that the propagation speed of tropical cyclones has slowed over the past 60 years, which can lead to greater accumulation of precipitation and greater storm surge impacts. The study presented herein is meant to examine and analyze the relationships that exist between the propagation speed of tropical cyclones, their surface wind strength, displacement angles, and cyclone averaged winds. This analysis is focused on tropical cyclones spanning from 1950-2015 in …
