Public Prekindergarten: An Implementation Model For Public Schools In States That Do Not Fund Prekindergarten, Sharon A. Hansen

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this comparative case study was to develop a prekindergarten implementation model for public school districts located in states without state-funded prekindergarten. The two public school districts selected for the study were located in a rural Midwestern state and differed on the presence or absence of a prekindergarten program within their school settings. This study utilized qualitative case study methods to identify (a) factors that supported and impeded voluntary initiation, implementation, and continuation of a prekindergarten within two public school settings; (b) the role of key stakeholders; and (c) the effects resulting from the implementation or lack of …


Circadian Disruptions In Night Nurses, Leah Swenson May 2008

Circadian Disruptions In Night Nurses, Leah Swenson

Theses and Dissertations

A lack of knowledge exists in the physical and psychological impact shift work, particularly working during the night shift, causes in nurses. Inadequate rest derived from night shift work seriously affects the frontal cortex's ability to control speech, access memory, and solve problems. It has been well documented that night shift workers sleep less, perform less effectively on psychomotor and cognitive tests, make more errors during night shifts, and are at higher risk for motor vehicle accidents because of post-night shift drowsiness. Planned naps in the workplace may be an effective intervention to some of these adverse circumstances

A comprehensive …

Rural Breastfeeding Mothers: Five Reasons For Early Cessation, Amy L. Suda May 2008

Rural Breastfeeding Mothers: Five Reasons For Early Cessation, Amy L. Suda

Theses and Dissertations

Breastfeeding remains the most natural, convenient, and recommended source of early feeding for newborns. Unfortunately, more women are having potentially preventable problems in the first few weeks after birth which may lead to early cessation of breastfeeding. In the rural area, quick and accessible resources for questions are often hard to come by, leading to the termination of the breastfeeding relationship. This earlier than expected termination may lead to feelings of disappointment, frustration and sadness by the already overburdened new mother. The goal of this project was to identify five common reasons for discontinuation of breastfeeding in the early weeks …

Health Risks And Academic Performance: Implications For College Students, Faculty And Administration, Mary F.D. Larson

Theses and Dissertations

In order to enter post-secondary education, a student must have demonstrated the ability to do reasonably well in an academic environment.

There are many reasons why students do not succeed and one of those reasons is health.

The purpose of this study was to examine relationships between physical health, mental health, stressors, sleep, and substance use and abuse variables and academic performance in a sample of 503 students from a small private liberal arts college in the Midwest. The …
