Healthcare Associated Infections, Nurse Staffing, And Financial Performance, Soumya Upadhyay, Dean G. Smith

Healthcare Administration and Policy Faculty Research

Healthcare associated infections (HAIs) are a concern to patients, hospital administrators and policymakers.

Parenting Characteristics And The Development Of Self-Compassion: A Look At Self-Warmth And Self-Coldness, Meghan Rogers

Theses and Dissertations

Self-compassion, which reflects a kind stance towards oneself when suffering, is related to a whole host of positive outcomes from decreased anxiety (Neff & McGehee, 2010; Raes, 2010; Temel & Atalay, 2018) and depression (Neff & McGehee, 2010; Raes, 2010; Steindl et al., 2018; Temel & Atalay, 2018) to increased happiness (Neff et al., 2007b; Wei et al., 2011). It is important, therefore, to understand how an individual develops self-compassion.

The Bear Essentials

Bear Essentials is an online newsletter published by the Student Activities Council of Des Moines Area Community College.

The newsletter covers topics such as upcoming virtual activities and events, college resources, and community service opportunities. When asked about the origins of the newsletter, Student Activities Advisor Erin Smith said, "We wanted students to know they were not alone, the entire DMACC Community was coming together to help support one another in any way possible."

The Privacy Librarian Is In!: How Privacy Issues Affect Researchers And Libraries, John Felts, Heather Staines, Tim Lloyd, Beth Bernhardt, Russell Palmer

Library Faculty Presentations

Faced with an increasingly complex online environment through which libraries provide access to scholarly resources, librarians have found it difficult to educate users in protecting their personal information and online behaviors from inappropriate and sometimes unauthorized use while promoting the personalization services that users find beneficial. Modeled after the long-running Peanuts cartoon with Lucy offering advice for 5 cents, this interactive session will tackle key privacy issues in the researcher, vendor, and library framework. It will kick off with John Felts of Coastal Carolina staffing his post as "Privacy Librarian" while training a new library employee.
