Forging Sustainable Retention Strategies For Medical-Surgical Registered Nurses In Rural Texas Hospitals, Yvette Eartha Stephenson
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Background: Health care delivery in rural medical-surgical units is significantly hindered by nurse shortages, particularly in underserved areas.

Leadership Strategies For Navigating The Integration Of Physical And Behavioral Healthcare, Seán David Mclawhorn
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
The separation of physical and behavioral healthcare and a dominant medical model have left a void in practice and research, especially pertaining to the leadership strategies necessary to integrate the two forms of care in college campus healthcare clinics. This is especially important given the rise of mental health concerns on and off college campuses. Without integration, there are missed opportunities for care delivery, in general, and a missed opportunity for the provision of care to individuals who historically have not accessed physical and behavioral healthcare at equivalent rates as other populations.
