Opioid Use Disorder In Region 9 Of Louisiana: Using Labeling Theory To Understand The Layperson's Perception, Sara Elizabeth Dupree-Wolf
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
The overall research problem in this research study was that there were no current data related to the layperson's perception of opioid use disorder using labeling theory in Region 9 of Louisiana. This study is essential because opioid use disorder affects people worldwide, and the number of people diagnosed with opioid use disorder rises annually. Annually, thousands of people overdose, with a plethora of these overdoses resulting in death, due to opiate use. These deaths are unnecessary because there are treatment options and resources available. However, stigma and fear keep people from accessing potentially lifesaving resources. The purpose was to …

Awareness Of Sleep Health In A Military Treatment Facility, Cristina Brock De Jesus
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Sleep disturbances are reported in almost one-third of military personnel deployed in support of Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO), resulting in approximately 600,000 military personnel and veterans with clinically relevant sleep conditions (Mysliwiec et al., 2013). This study assesses how implementing staff education will increase awareness and impact patients' sleep health in an overseas treatment facility. The project demonstrated after implementing several staff education courses for the nursing personnel (n=22), knowledge and confidence improved by 33%. The initiative shows an enhanced staff understanding of sleep health, which impacts the recognition of sleep members with sleep-related concerns.

Many women will experience a mood disorder at some point during the perinatal period, which begins at conception and extends to at least the 1st birthday of their child. With the expansion of Medicaid in the U.S. state of North Carolina in 2023, many new women of childbearing age have coverage that includes mental health services. However, despite this huge surge in newly insured women there is no notable increase in the number of mental health providers (social workers, clinical mental health counselors, etc.) in the state who accept Medicaid. The purpose of this study was to determine what service …
