Different Words With Different Meanings, Travis Archie

GWU-Today

The United States of America is a country that stretches from the Atlantic Ocean to Pacific Ocean. With this vast territory comes different types of words that have the same meaning. Buggie, cart, beanie, toboggan, soda, pop, you guys, y’all, cut on the lights, and turn on the lights; just using one of these words or phrases normally labels where a person is from in the U.S.

Background: The use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) and other non-physician health care providers (dentists, optometrists, etc.) has steadily increased in the United States; however, the associated outcomes reported in the Medicare population is limited.

Success Against All Odds Lessons Learned From Successful, Impoverished Students, Amanda L. King

Senior Honors Theses

The effects of poverty on students’ education have been well documented and a positive correlation can be seen between these effects and their academic success. What is unclear, however, are the exceptions to this correlation. How do students from low-socio-economic status (SES) families succeed despite the seemingly insurmountable odds they face? The literature from a wide variety of longitudinal—and interview-based studies from the past three decades suggests that character traits such as persistence, determination, and curiosity are key to their success. Schools with a majority student body from low-SES homes have found success in meeting and exceeding state standards through …

Christian Persecution In Pakistan: An Examination Of Life In The Midst Of Violence, Rebecca Seiler

Senior Honors Theses

As a nation founded on religious freedom, it is the duty of the United States to recognize those who stand up for these beliefs across the world in solidarity. International persecution of Christians has dramatically increased due to the spread of radical Islam throughout the world, particularly in South Asia. By means of active, violent persecution as well as more passive forms of aggression, daily life for Pakistani Christians is both challenging and dangerous. While there is no easy solution to this issue, it is essential to continue advocating for those facing persecution and punish the oppressors. The American church …

Common Sense Theology: An Analysis Of T. L. Carter's Interpretation Of Romans 13:1-7, Joshua Alley

Senior Honors Theses

Common sense theology has been a part of American theology since the time of the Revolution when Evangelicals incorporated ideals from the Scottish didactic Enlightenment into their thought. This paper deals with the work of one particular author, T. L. Carter, and his interpretation and exegetical work on Romans 13:1-7. It deals with the two major presuppositions of his common sense theology, namely that interpretations of any passage of Scripture will adhere to common sense and will result in a value-based ethic. Following this is an analysis of both the strengths and weaknesses of Carter's methodology.

Law And Religion: Sharia Law And The First Amendment, Joseph A. Williamson

Senior Honors Theses

America has long been seen as the capital of religious freedom and individual rights. In recent years a debate has arisen over whether an individual can personally adhere to the legal concept of sharia law under the protections of the first amendment. At the center of this debate is precedent that can be drawn from previous interactions between religion and American ideals. Two similar issues that have been settled both judicially and legislatively are the conscientious draft objector and the federal prohibition of polygamy. By studying the roots of Islamic law and then the basis of these two concepts, a …

Methods: The study was conducted by the head nurse of the department of General Internal Medicine of Ghent University Hospital. …

Educating Nursing Students As Change Agents: A Case Study, Tanya R. Friese

International Nursing Research Congress (INRC)

Session presented on Friday, July 25, 2014:

In 1996, the Institute of Medicine Committee on Public Health proposed a model of engagement and collaboration of public health, community, and hospital partnerships to improve population health. Nearly seventeen years later, supported by aspects of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), this initiative requires a nursing workforce with leadership capabilities to transcend boundaries between the two sectors. At our college of nursing, faculty who teach public and community health nursing collaborate with the university medical center and community based organizations to develop caring and responsible nurses with clinical reasoning who are patient advocates …

Icu Diaries: The Journey To Psychological Recovery For Critically Ill Patient's Family Members, Carl Gosta Backman

International Nursing Research Congress (INRC)

Session presented on Saturday, July 26, 2014:

Purpose: Delusional memories from the period of critical illness have been shown to be a major contributor to the later occurrence of post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The experience of watching the patient being critically ill is also traumatic to families, making them at risk of PTSD. It was hypothesised that an ICU diary could help patients and their families come to terms with their differing memories and so reduce the incidence of PTSD.

Methods: A prospective randomised, controlled study was performed in 12 ICUs across 6 European countries. 1 week after ICU …

Strategies For Improving Adherence, Mary Ellen Roberts

International Nursing Research Congress (INRC)

Session presented on Saturday, July 26, 2014:

Purpose: This is the third of a three part series on Medication Adherence in which the authors describe the continuum of adherence to non-adherence of medication usage.

Methods: Research articles through Medline and PubMed. Results: Understanding the magnitude and scope of the problem of medication non-adherence is the first step in reaching better adherence rates. The second step is to evaluate the risk factors for each patient for medication adherence/non-adherence. Steps are then taken to prevent non-adherence.

Conclusion: The implications for nurse practitioners include using time with patients to assist them in adherence, …
