Staff Education On Implementation Of De-Escalation Techniques In An Adult Psychiatry Facility: A Quality Improvement Program To Enhance Knowledge And Reduce Aggressive Behavior, Lilian Agbonzebeta Azenabor Feb 2026

Staff Education On Implementation Of De-Escalation Techniques In An Adult Psychiatry Facility: A Quality Improvement Program To Enhance Knowledge And Reduce Aggressive Behavior, Lilian Agbonzebeta Azenabor

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Managing aggression and violence is a persistent issue in adult psychiatric facilities. Frequent aggression and violence can cause serious harm to staff, increase absenteeism and burnout, and lower job satisfaction. Stakeholders’ reports from the project site indicated inconsistent staff use of de-escalation techniques, highlighting gaps and the need to improve staff knowledge. The practice-focused question was: Will a staff education program specifically designed to implement a comprehensive staff training on de-escalation strategies increase staff’s knowledge? The purpose of this staff education project was to evaluate the effectiveness of an evidence-based training program designed to enhance staff knowledge on de-escalation techniques. …

Educating Mental Health Staff On Standardized Intake Response And Appointment Scheduling Practices, Mercy Itesa Feb 2026

Educating Mental Health Staff On Standardized Intake Response And Appointment Scheduling Practices, Mercy Itesa

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

This evidence-based educational project focused on solving two problems at a private mental health clinic: Staff members used different methods to record patient intake information and schedule appointments. The methods staff used to interact with patients resulted in inaccurate documentation and longer response times. The project question was: Does educating staff on standardized intake procedures and appointment scheduling processes lead to better knowledge acquisition, as indicated by pre- and postsurvey results? The analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation (ADDIE) instructional design framework and the Johns Hopkins Evidence-Based Practice Models (JHEBP) were used in this educational project.

Staff Education In Standardizing A Nurse-Led Fall Prevention Bundle To Reduce Inpatient Falls In Teleneurology Units, Tiffany Scott Feb 2026

Staff Education In Standardizing A Nurse-Led Fall Prevention Bundle To Reduce Inpatient Falls In Teleneurology Units, Tiffany Scott

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Due to complex neurological deficits that raise the risk of falls, falls among persons admitted to inpatient tele-neurology units represent a substantial and continuous problem in nursing practice. A preliminary evaluation conducted at the project site revealed inconsistent fall prevention procedures, inconsistent use of risk assessments, and a lack of a standardized, evidence based strategy to lower fall risk in this especially susceptible group. A practice focused investigation into whether the adoption of a standardized, nurse led fall prevention bundle would improve staff adherence to fall prevention protocols and lower the incidence of inpatient falls over a six month period …

The Heart Of An Educator An Autoethnographic Study Of Homeschool Practices That Reflect Core Udl Principles, Kimberly Clinton Feb 2026

The Heart Of An Educator An Autoethnographic Study Of Homeschool Practices That Reflect Core Udl Principles, Kimberly Clinton

Dissertations

The Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework was at the heart of this study, which served as a critical lens for examining the instructional design practices embedded in the homeschool environment. Specifically, I examined how the three core tenets of UDL: representation, action and expression, and engagement were reflected within the Clinton Homeschool Instructional Learning Design (CHILD). The aim was to identify how homeschool instruction, as implemented by the researcher, parallels UDL principles in its responsiveness to learner variability, its emphasis on flexible instructional delivery, and its commitment to student-centered engagement. In contrast to the dominant educational paradigm, which often …

Journal of China & Foreign Highway

This study utilized calcined construction spoil from Guangdong as a partial replacement for cement in the preparation of green ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC). The effects of different calcined construction spoil content levels (0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%) on the workability, mechanical property, and shrinkage behavior of UHPC were investigated. Additionally, a life cycle assessment (LCA) was performed to quantify carbon emissions. The results indicate that the incorporation of calcined construction spoil improves the fluidity of the UHPC mixture. At the age of 3 days, the effect of calcined construction spoil on the mechanical properties of UHPC is limited. However, at …

Smoke Control Wind Speed Of Transversal Double-Source Fire In Road Tunnel Sections, Gao Hengchao, Tao Jiaqing, Chen Xun, Wang Feng

Journal of China & Foreign Highway

The numerical calculation method was adopted to conduct an in-depth analysis of the control wind speed, smoke back-layering length and smoke temperature of dual-source fire in road tunnel sections and thus study the smoke control method of dual-source fire in road tunnel sections. The results show that under the dual-source fire scenarios, due to the dispersion of fire sources, the critical wind speed is mainly controlled by two fire sources. When the power of the two fire sources is the same or similar, there is a certain superposition effect between the two fire sources, with the critical wind speed subject …

Standardized Staff Education Project For Medication Adherence, Adebukola Kayode Feb 2026

Standardized Staff Education Project For Medication Adherence, Adebukola Kayode

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Psychotropic medication nonadherence is a pervasive issue in psychiatric care and one of the leading contributors to relapse, symptom destabilization, and preventable behavioral‐health crises. At the outpatient psychiatric clinic project site, inconsistent medication-adherence education and the absence of a standardized, evidence‐based approach resulted in variable patient understanding and engagement. The purpose of this doctoral project was to implement and evaluate a structured staff education program to determine its effect on staff knowledge, confidence, and consistency in delivering standardized psychotropic medication-adherence education. I developed the intervention to engage clinical staff through a structured educational session grounded in Knowles’s adult learning theory …

Staff Education To Improve Tirzepatide Education And Lifestyle Counseling, Daisy Asemota Feb 2026

Staff Education To Improve Tirzepatide Education And Lifestyle Counseling, Daisy Asemota

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

This Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) project was a practice-focused staff education initiative designed to improve clinical staff knowledge, confidence, and readiness to educate adult patients enrolled in a Tirzepatide weight-management program. Tirzepatide has demonstrated superior weight-loss outcomes compared to other glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists; however, inconsistent staff education practices related to medication administration, adverse-event management, and lifestyle counseling present a gap in practice. Variability in staff knowledge and teaching approaches may reduce confidence, contribute to inconsistent patient education, and limit the effectiveness of evidence-based care delivery. The purpose of this DNP project was to address this practice gap …
