Student Engagement: Factors Affecting The Academic Performance And Persistence Of Hispanic Women In Stem, Maria E. Vaca

Open Access Dissertations

Hispanics are poised to change the U.S. demographic landscape and account for one-third of the national population in the next forty years (U.S. Census Bureau, 2012). Yet, presently Hispanic students are the most underrepresented ethnic group in higher education with the lowest college completion rates the country (U.S. Department of Education, National Center for Education Statistics, 2015b). Furthermore, Hispanic women are reported to attain only 3% of all STEM bachelor’s degrees nationally (U.S. Department of Education, National Center for Education Statistics, 2015a). The purpose of this study was to examine student engagement as a factor that predicts academic performance and …

Developing An Electronic Health Record Training Program For New Employees, Crystal D. Figlietti

Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) Projects

In May 2015, an electronic health record (EHR) was implemented at an urban, long-term care facility. This facility is part of the county Department of Public Health (DPH) and was one of the last locations to implement the designated EHR system. The unique nature of the facility compared to the smaller, health care centers within the DPH network necessitated development of a customized training and onboarding program for new employees. It was not possible to duplicate an existing training program. The registered nurse (RN) informaticist assigned to the EHR used data from nursing staff surveys and information collected through a …

Multiplex Drug Screenings To Discover Host Oriented Therapies Against Infectious Diseases, William Leonardi

KGI Theses and Dissertations

Drug resistance is a longstanding and still-increasing threat to the effective treatment of infectious diseases. Discovering drugs that target host proteins involved in pathogenicity is a strategy that could address this problem. Unfortunately, there are currently no FDA-approved infectious disease therapies that specifically target host proteins. Our goal is to develop a method to i) quickly discover new drugs for the treatment infectious diseases, ii) identify the specific host protein target of the drugs, iii) investigate the broad spectrum application of the drugs. To find these types of drugs, we employed a novel multiplex drug screening method in which we …

Building A Foundation For Survey: Employing A Focused Introduction, Glenda M. Swan

Art History Pedagogy & Practice

This paper discusses the impact of introducing a multi-day introduction in an art history survey course in order to promote student awareness of the transferability of the skills and strategies of visual analysis to other contexts and courses outside of the discipline. Class discussion, course activities, and supplemental support materials were developed with the goal of generating student interest, investment, and self-efficacy in connection with art historical methodology and study strategies. Student performance and feedback in a recent survey course employing this introduction was then compared to earlier offerings of the course that did not employ this introduction. Preliminary results …

The Effects Of Lung Volume On Swallowing In Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Teresa C. Drulia

Dissertations, 2014-2019

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), a respiratory disease that leads to reduced airflow, may result in difficulty swallowing with disease progression. The coordination between the respiratory and swallowing systems decouple and they may experience increased risk of aspiration. This study aimed to determine the effects of lung volume on swallowing in individuals with COPD compared with older healthy. Specifically, the study examined if altering lung volume at the time of the swallow changed swallowing timing, specifically pharyngeal swallow duration, and impacted the respiratory-swallow pattern in individuals with COPD. Measurement of estimated lung volume (ELV), pharyngeal swallow duration, and respiratory-swallow patterning …

Doctor of Nursing Practice Scholarly Project

Pediatric diagnosis of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is on the rise with an increasing financial burden to the healthcare system and the patient (Center for Disease Control, 2015). This study sought to determine if an educational intervention would increase the knowledge of primary care providers in respect to ADHD clinical practice guidelines and the diagnosis and treatment of pediatric patients. An initial online survey was administered to primary care nurse practitioners in an attempt to determine their knowledge level, provider feelings and current practices in regards to pediatric ADHD in this region. Approximately four weeks after the online survey, …

Management Of A Patient With Bronchiectasis Using Pulmonary Rehabilitation And Balance Training: A Case Report, Megan Witherow Quarles

Case Report Papers

Background and Purpose: Bronchiectasis is a chronic lung disease defined by permanent, abnormal dilation of the bronchi and accompanied by chronic airway infection which leads to airway inflammation. Bronchiectasis is progressive and leads to a cycle of worsening pulmonary damage. Pulmonary rehabilitation, including progressive gait training, cycling, and stair climbing, is often utilized as treatment for this condition. However, there has been little research conducted on its effectiveness for bronchiectasis. The purpose of this case report is to examine physical therapy (PT) management, utilizing pulmonary rehabilitation with incorporated balance training, for a geriatric patient with bronchiectasis. Description: The patient was …

The Test Lesson incorporated multiple differentiated practices, including strategic grouping based on learning profile and interest. The test lesson also offered choices for student projects based on interest and readiness, and choices for a critique, based on interest and learning profile. Students completed a self assessment after …

Doctor of Nursing Practice Scholarly Project

The purpose of this project was to confirm the difficulties and barriers to precepting nurse practitioner students found in the literature by conducting a focus group with nurse practitioners who were currently precepting and some who were not. Participants were volunteers at a 4-State APN Conference in Joplin, Missouri. The group did confirm the barriers to precepting noted in the research. The most common theme noted during the group was that nurse practitioners felt ill-prepared to precept nurse practitioner students, a concept also noted in the literature.

Self-insured companies with at least 1000 employees are recommended and will provide the earliest return of investment. Lost productivity is a significant cost to the company, on average a company will spend more on lost productivity than on …

Diabetes Self-Management Education: A Rural Health Development, Ashleigh A. Heter

Doctor of Nursing Practice Scholarly Project

The purpose of this Scholarly Project was to explore the need for a Diabetes Self-Management Education (DSME) Program in a rural health community in Southeast, Kansas (SEK). Statistics in Crawford County reveal that 10% of the population has been diagnosed with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and a rising number of patients that are classified as obese. Without serious interventions many of these patients will develop T2DM. DSME programs provide essential skills and resources for patients to maintain glycemic control and reduce risks associated with this life-long disease. This study utilized data from fifty T2DM patients in the SEK area. …
