Healthy Eating & Active Living In Childhood In Latinx Households In Spartanburg, Sc: A Community-Engaged Qualitative Research Study On Assets And Challenges, Laura Barbas Rhoden

Community Based Research

Spartanburg County organizations have engaged in coalition-driven, data-informed work for over a decade related to healthy eating and active living in the community. Work has been exceptional with regard to data gathering, data sharing, and the piloting of evidence-based interventions. Quantitative data, such as BMI data gathered by the Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) countywide through schools, as well as survey results from the Road to Better Health initiative, give some sense of community demographics and needs. However, this large-scale picture reveals little about experiences at the household level and is of limited use in determining ways to …

Only You Can Prevent Burnout?: Factors Influencing Job Satisfaction Among Special Education Teachers, Alicia Michelle Alexander

All Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Special education teacher (SET) burnout is a complex problem impacting teacher health, student outcomes, and job satisfaction.

Overall, it is likely that each burnout component is influenced by a different set of internal and external factors. The most supported factors for SET burnout were perception, role conflict, role ambiguity, and administrator support. Possible treatments should address the underlying factors of SET burnout rather than its symptoms. Future research should inform the …

The Need For A Physical Therapy Clinic In Pucallpa, Peru, Isabella M. Sutton, Abby M. Waldek, Brylie M. Wiedmaier

All Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In developing countries, complications from traumatic injuries account for a significantly higher number of deaths annually compared to developed countries.

With that, this community service project worked with Scalpel at the Cross (SATC), an orthopedic medical ministry based in Pucallpa, Peru to expand their ability to provide free orthopedic surgeries and physical therapy following traumatic injuries. The community service project will help …
