Victimization, Health, And Help Seeking In North Dakota: How Interpersonal Violence Shapes Physical And Mental Health, Tahmid Hassan Jeeshan

Graduate Research Achievement Day Posters

Interpersonal violence extends beyond physical assault to include psychological and/or emotional abuse that can produce substantial physical and mental health consequences. This study examines how multiple forms of interpersonal violence relate to health outcomes among North Dakotan women, focusing on differences between rural and non rural residents. We compare victimization patterns, physical and mental health status, and treatment seeking behaviors. We anticipate that rural victims will report more severe or chronic victimization yet face reduced access to and use of healthcare and victim services. By jointly considering violence type, rural versus non-rural status, health outcomes, and treatment seeking, this project …

Interprofessional Collaboration: Nursing And Dental Medical Students Provide Oral Healthcare Education In A Community Setting, Geraldine M. Maurer, Betty J. Braxter, Shareen A. Milligan

Creating Healthy Work Environments (CHWE)

Most of the obstetrical care occurs in the community in an outpatient setting. Early pregnancy care should include oral healthcare education to diminish the potential of pregnancy complications such as infections of pregnancy and preterm labor as the pregnancy progresses. Good oral healthcare continues beyond pregnancy and through the lifespan. Providing a multidisciplinary approach can improve patient outcomes. The purpose of this experience in the undergraduate baccalaureate nursing curriculum and the education of dental medicine students at a large, urban, public university was to introduce an interprofessional collaboration education opportunity. Interprofessional education was introduced into the curriculum when the school …

Therapeutic Horsemanship For The Caregiver: Overview Of Results, Pinky Shani, Laura A. Espinosa, Rebecca Yarbrough

Creating Healthy Work Environments (CHWE)

Background: Healthcare professionals (HCPs) are prepared to care for illness and experience stressful situations including trauma and death. However, the overwhelming conditions during and after the pandemic can put many HCPs at risk of developing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and burnout. Previous research has reported a prevalence of PTSD among HCPs between 21.5% and 38% (Greene et al., 2021; Yan et al., 2021). In addition, 48% of ICU nurses experienced PTSD (Sanchez, Simon, & Ford, 2019). Furthermore, past research has indicated burnout levels of 55% to 86% among HCPs. It is essential that resources are provided for HCPs to cope …

Perception Vs. Reality: Assessing The Health Of Organizational Shared Governance, Tamara L. Dubose, Carliss D. Ramos, Nicole M. Fontenot

Creating Healthy Work Environments (CHWE)

Background & Purpose: Healthy Shared Governance contributes to a Healthy Work Environment.¹ Shared governance (SG) is derived from Kanter’s theory of structural empowerment. Organizations with structurally empowered nurses are provided access to information, resources, support, and opportunities for learning and development and have the capability to affect change.² Effective councils contribute to organizational safety, efficiency, and quality while reducing financial and patient loss.⁴ A large academic medical center in the Southwest United States has had SG since 2008. Council engagement and effectiveness are signals of healthy SG. This project aimed to assess the health of the organization’s …

An Analysis Of How Nucleosomal Dna Patterns Influence Transcription Factor Binding Activities, Christopher Carson

Theses

Nucleosomal DNA has a well-documented periodic pattern known as Weak Weak/Strong Strong (WW/SS where W is A or T and S is G or C) in which WW dinucleotides preferentially occur at DNA sites that bend into minor grooves whereas SS dinucleotides are often found at sites that bend into major grooves. Recent studies found that an opposite pattern named the anti-WW/SS pattern runs inverse to the WW/SS pattern and is thought to have unfavorable histone-DNA interactions. The anti-WW/SS pattern is widespread in eukaryotic genomes and enriched in mammalian genes. Whether this unusual sequence pattern has an impact on the …

Fusing Channel State Information And Computer Vision In An Agentic Ai Workflow For Accurate Human Activity Recognition And Crisis Prevention, Vishnu S. Pendyala, Milind Patil

Faculty Research, Scholarly, and Creative Activity

This paper presents a novel multimodal framework for Human Activity Recognition (HAR) in homes that combines Channel State Information (CSI) from WiFi access points with visual data from camera images. This approach introduces a dual-stream classification pipeline that leverages a Transformer-based deep learning model for processing CSI features and a computer vision model based on a fine-tuned Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) for image-based activity classification. To enable autonomous decision-making, an agentic AI module based on the Falcon Large Language Model (LLM) has been incorporated, which fuses predictions from both modalities through a reasoning-driven mechanism. This integrated system is capable of …

Sex Differences In The Association Between Childhood Cyberbullying Victimization And College Sexual Assault: Moderating Roles Of Parental Monitoring And Relationship With Deviant Peers, Jungup Lee, Debra Patterson, Na Youn Lee, Jinyung Kim, Stephen J. Tripodi, Hyunkag Cho

Faculty Research, Scholarly, and Creative Activity

This study explores sex differences in the relationship between childhood cyberbullying victimization (CCBV) and young adult sexual assault experiences and the potential moderating roles of childhood parent monitoring and deviant peer association on the relationship. A total of 356 college students aged 19–25 in the US participated in the online survey. The results indicated that CCBV was associated with an increased risk of college sexual assault victimization for both males and females. A significant moderating effect of childhood parental monitoring and deviant peer association was found between the association between CCBV and college sexual assault victimization for female students only.

Vlx-1005, But Not Argatroban, Prevents Itam-Mediated Platelet Activation And Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia, Adriana Yamaguchi, Victoria Putzbach, Reheman Adili, Sophia Lazar, Livia Stanger, Devin Gilmore, David J. Maloney, Steven E. Mckenzie, James V. Michael, Michael Holinstat

Cardeza Foundation for Hematologic Research

Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is an immune prothrombotic disorder characterized by the binding of platelet-activating immunoglobulin G antibodies to platelet factor 4/heparin. In platelets, this leads to cross-linking of the immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM)-bearing receptor FcγRIIa, platelet activation, and thrombocytopenia, which in combination with extensive thrombin generation significantly increases the risk of thrombosis. Our laboratory has previously demonstrated that 12-lipoxygenase (12-LOX), an oxygenase primarily expressed in platelets, plays a critical role in platelet activation through FcγRIIa. In this study, we aimed to determine the effectiveness of VLX-1005, a potent and selective inhibitor of 12-LOX, alone or in combination with argatroban, …

The Price Of Democracy: The Revolutionary Power Of Taxation In American History, Vanessa Williamson

Brookings Scholar Lecture Series

As part of the Brookings Scholar Lecture Series, Brookings Mountain West presented a lecture titled, "The Price of Democracy: The Revolutionary Power of Taxation in American History" by Brookings senior fellow in governance studies, Vanessa Williamson.

From tariffs to “no tax on tips”, taxation has often been a hot topic in American elections. What is not commonly recognized, however, is that—from the framing of the Constitution to the decades-long backlash to the civil rights movement—taxes have been at the heart of battles over the breadth of our democracy. Brookings senior fellow Vanessa Williamson discusses her new book, The Price of …

Creating Healthy Work Environments (CHWE)

The purpose of this study was to explore family caregiver perspectives on the barriers and facilitators to work-life balance while caring for adults with Parkinson’s Disease. A convergent mixed methods design was used. An adapted version of the Work-Life Conflict Model by Greenhaus and Beautell guided the study. Participants were recruited through Parkinson's Disease support groups. Formal, paid caregivers were excluded from the study. Forty family caregivers completed surveys such as the Work-Life Balance survey, Job Content Questionnaire, Zarit Burden Interview and other measures on stress, wellbeing, and quality of life. Following completion of surveys, the same forty caregivers participated …

Virtual Journal Club- A Strategy To Improve Evidence Translation And Peer Collaboration, Rachel E. Wood, Joy Huston

Creating Healthy Work Environments (CHWE)

Nurses are a critical component of the healthcare delivery system, weaving together science, critical thinking, empathy, compassion, and empowerment to deliver relational, expert care (Wood et al., 2023). To translate current evidence into practices that transform healthcare, nurses need to have confidence in their ability to access, evaluate, and integrate evidence. To provide compassionate, relational care, nurses themselves need to be well. This project sought to address both goals: transforming healthcare delivery by improved nurse wellbeing through peer collaboration and enhanced confidence in evidence-based practice (EBP) skills.

EBP is the intentional use of current, relevant research combined with sound clinical …

The project site identified a need for a leadership development program focused on nurse managers. This project aimed to fulfill that need. The project goal was to increase nurse manager application of the Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership to operationalize transformational leadership principles and foster Joy in Work. The leadership development program consisted …

"Wellness 2 U” Program To Promote Nurse Leaders' Loving- Kindness Toward Self And Others, Linda Y. Kim, Akal Khalsa, Jennifer Astasio

Creating Healthy Work Environments (CHWE)

Problem/Background: A 2021 study by the American Organization for Nursing Leadership reported that sustainment of staff emotional health and well-being were top priorities for 75% of the nurse leader respondents.¹ Compassionate caring of others begins with loving-kindness toward self.² Nurse leaders must practice self-care and loving-kindness for themselves and role model it as a means of empowering and promoting wellness for their staff. Holistic and integrative strategies aimed at promoting nurse leader and staff well-being consequently promote a healing environment for authentic caring presence for patients.

Purpose/SMART Aims: This project aimed to promote nurse leader wellness …

Nurse Resident Job Satisfaction With A Formal Mentorship Program, Jessica Hoehne

Creating Healthy Work Environments (CHWE)

Purpose: Job satisfaction is a predictor of nursing turnover and intent to stay. New nurses are especially vulnerable to turnover during their first year creating a significant barrier to building the nursing workforce. Research shows reasons contributing to the high attrition rates of new nurses include a lack of confidence, an inability to cope with work-related stress and a decreased sense of belonging. Several studies have shown that mentorship promotes personal and professional development, increases learning, and builds confidence. The goal of implementing a mentorship program is to create a culture of support for nurse residents resulting in increased job …

Baccalaureate Nursing Students Identify Positive And Negative Belongingness Behaviors In Clinical Practice: Lessons For Clinicians, Missy Ofe Fleck, Cathrin L. Carithers, Lynnette Leeseberg Stamler, Leeza A. Struwe

Creating Healthy Work Environments (CHWE)

Creating inclusive clinical learning environments in which students thrive is a priority in nursing education and practice to foster belongingness (Metzger & Taggert, 2020), address person-centered care needs (Marjadi et al., 2023), and prepare a diverse nursing workforce (Charania & Patel, 2022). Relationships nurtured among health care team members and nursing students provide the fundamental social context for acceptance and efficacious learning (Levett-Jones et al., 2007). Levett-Jones and Lathlean (2008) identified belongingness as a “deeply personal and contextually mediated experience that evolves in response to the degree to which an individual feels (a) secure, accepted, included, valued, and respected by …
