“Instead Of Asking For Fare, You Ask Her To Pay With Sex”: Male Perspectives On The Factors Influencing Schoolgirls’ Participation In Age-Disparate Transactional Sex Relationships, Nene Okunna

Public Health Sciences Faculty Publications

Age-disparate transactional sex relationships are often coerced and exploitative. The gender and economic disparities between affluent men and economically disadvantaged girls often perpetuate these relationships, resulting in their exploitation. This qualitative study assessed men's understanding of factors influencing schoolgirls' engagement in age-disparate transactional sex relationships in two rural districts in Kenya. Four focus group sessions were conducted with men from two primary professions: motorcycle taxi operators (Boda Boda) and teachers from primary and secondary schools from two districts in Kitui South, Sub County, Kenya. Focus group data were analyzed using conventional content analysis. Several influential factors associated with schoolgirls' engagement …

The Necessity Of Spiritual Preparation In Short-Term Missions As It Correlates To Ministry Effectiveness, Brent Edward Allen

Kung Sa Bawat Pagtawag Ay Pagtawid Sa Gubat, Alec Joshua Paradeza

Katipunan

Tatlong araw nang binabagtas ni Ruel ang kabundukan sa ilalim ng malakas na ulan. Tumatakas siya mula sa militar, kasama ng iba pang gerilya. Dala ng pagod at gutom, hiniling ni Ruel na bumalik sa mga mundong binisita noon—mga mundong labas sa sarili niyang mundo, kasama ang dating karelasyon na si Ino. Sa pagkalunod sa alaala ay hindi niya namalayan ang nakausling ugat sa dinaraanan at napatid, lumubog ang mukha sa putik. Sa gitna ng bagyo ay babalikan niya ang unang beses na hinatak siya ni Ino mula sa bundok tungo sa isang hotel. Ipinaliwanag sa kaniya ng karelasyon na …

Summer 2023 Virtual OTD Capstone Symposium

Background: Despite a decline in infant mortality rates in the Global South (GS), there has been a rise in congenital and developmental disabilities. International short-term medical (ISTM) missions in Guatemala seek to address the surgical needs of children from low SES communities, but the understanding of the impacts of such assistance and the post-surgical needs of these communities remains limited.

The main tenets of this approach will guide this investigation to understand the post-surgical needs of children and their …

Short Term Medical Mission Gerd And Ulcer Treatment Guideline, Robin Risky

Doctor of Nursing Practice Projects

The United States conducts over 6,000 international medical mission trips each year. The short-term nature of these trips, unfamiliarity with the patient population, language barriers, limited resources, and inadequate staff training are just some of the factors that make it challenging to provide quality care. One way to avoid doing harm is to follow evidence-based guidelines when treating common conditions. This quality improvement project sought to provide an evidence-based protocol for short-term medical missions (STMMs), guiding providers and pharmacy staff on the treatment of GERD and peptic ulcer. This project was implemented in a rural health clinic at the Land …

Compassion Fatigue And Burnout In Mission Trip Providers, Camille Roland

Doctor of Nursing Practice Projects

Compassion fatigue (CF), burnout (BO), lack of compassion satisfaction, and impaired mental health have had catastrophic effects on nurses, providers, and support staff in the past few years due to COVID-19, labor shortage, an influx of critically ill patients, and long hours. Compassion fatigue was coined by Figley as a state of exhaustion and dysfunction biologically, psychologically, and socially because of prolonged exposure to compassion stress. Related concepts identified as burnout and secondary traumatic stress (STS) play an inclusive role in one’s ability to cope with daily environmental stressors causing physical, emotional, and mental breakdown. The link between …
