Economic Valuation Of Pfas Remediation In New Hampshire Municipal Drinking Water Systems: A Contingent Valuation Approach, Tristan Colby Price

Master's Theses and Capstones

In the past two decades there has been an increase in detection and awareness of PFAS (Per- or Polyfluoroalkyl substances) chemicals in groundwater and drinking water in the United States. In stark contrast to other known harmful chemical pollutants, little is known yet about the specific epidemiological and toxicological effects of prolonged intake and consumption of PFAS chemicals in environmentally occurring levels. New Hampshire in particular has encountered two high-profile episodes of PFAS contamination with hotspots in Merrimack, NH due to factory pollution and Pease International Tradeport in Portsmouth, NH due to military activity. These instances have brought increased attention …

The Mediating Role Of Parental Context And Social Support On The Relationship Between Polyvictimization And Juvenile Delinquency: A Longitudinal Study, Kristen Graham

Master's Theses and Capstones

Polyvictimization and non-victimization adversity in adolescence is a prevalent and evolving issue that poses many implications for families, teachers, policymakers, and others. This study sought to examine whether polyvictimization and adversity longitudinally predict later delinquency, and the possible mediating role of parental context and social support on this relationship. Data was collected as part of the THV survey and the NatSCEV II and yielded a final sample of 791 youths ages 10-20. Poisson regression analyses and structural equation modeling were conducted. Results demonstrated that over and above the impact of demographics, delinquency at Time 1, and community disorder, experiencing composite …

Improving Patient Safety In The Post-Anesthesia Care Unit By Identifying Nurses’ Perceived Barriers To The Implementation Of Barcode Medication Administration, Colleen Gauvin

Master's Theses and Capstones

Background: In the landmark report To Err is Human: Building a Safer Health System published by the Institute of Medicine in 1999, it was estimated that 98,000 Americans die annually due to medical mistakes (Institute of Medicine et al., 2000). Since then, major advancements have been made to improve patient safety in the United States relating to safe medication administration. Barcode medication administration (BCMA) is a technology that was designed to help decrease medication errors by automating the five rights of medication administration (Thompson et al., 2018). BCMA was first utilized at a Veteran Affairs (VA) Medical Center in …

Improving The Patient Repositioning Process: A Quality Improvement Project, Sydney Elizabeth Mcgough

Master's Theses and Capstones

Background: Research has shown that visual turn reminders can improve patient repositioning to prevent pressure injuries. The aim of this quality improvement project was to improve adherence to repositioning by increasing the perceived usefulness of the visual turn reminder.

Methods: A pre-intervention survey was distributed to 70 staff members with 22 responses. Staff were given the opportunity to recommend changes to the visual reminders and were informed that feedback would lead to the identification of common themes. Based on feedback, high visibility turn reminders were developed and implemented on the unit. A post-intervention survey was distributed to the same 70 …

Improving Colonoscopy Preparation Quality: A Quality Improvement Project, Caroline P. Hernon

Master's Theses and Capstones

Abstract

Background

High-quality bowel preparations are essential for colonoscopies. Helping patients enhance prep quality can help increase the early detection of colorectal cancer, improving patient outcomes. A quality improvement (QI) project was introduced to increase the bowel prep quality at a Veterans Health Administration ambulatory surgery center.

Methods

Bowel prep quality descriptors were collected from a chart audit collected for the year 2021 to establish a baseline. In addition, the patients were queried regarding their perceptions on how easy the instructions were to follow.

Interventions

New prep instructions were created with feedback from the clinic gastroenterology registered nurses. The new …

Resolving The Role Of Surface Pressure Gradients On The Positional State Of Short Cylinders In Nearshore Envirionments, Spencer Marquardt

Master's Theses and Capstones

\noindent The causes of munition mobility in nearshore regions are not well understood phenomena; and in situ measurements of positional state, orientation, and the local flow field are complicated by the high energy nature of the surf and swash zones. A pressure mapped munition (PMM) has been developed to autonomously measure the surface pressure and attitude to overcome some of these challenges. The PMM is a self-contained, Lagrangian instrument representative of 105-155~mm shells, that is capable of autonomously recording surface pressure and attitude for up to 100~h. The PMM utilizes 16 high resolution pressure sensors distributed around its surface to …
