Non-Cognitive Skills And Student Perception Of Importance, Laura Adriano

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to look at student perception of non-cognitive skills and if they put an importance on those skills as they relate to academic achievement. Surveys were distributed to students at a midsized university located in the northeast, who had earned senior status by earning 90+ credits. Additionally, interviews were also conducted to take a more in-depth look at themes discovered in the survey. Findings show that students recognize the importance of non-cognitive skills, also referred to as soft skills. They felt that acquisition of those skills was critical to their academic success, while there were …

More Than A Job: An Exploration Of Student Employee And Professional Staff Perceptions Of The Relationship Between On-Campus Employment And Student Development, Maeve K. Mckinney

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this sequential exploratory mixed methods study is to explore the relationship between on-campus employment and student development through examining student employees' and professional staffs' perceptions. While certain impacts (i.e., retention and grade point average) of on-campus employment have been researched, the impact this experience has on student development is understudied. Furthermore, the formation of a dueling narrative (the inclusion of both student and professional perceptions) is even less present in research. By analyzing the perceptions held by both populations, these findings compare what student employees are truly gaining from their employment experience versus what professional staff believe …

Building Asian American And Black Solidarity For Racial Justice In Today’S America, Vinay Harpalani, Sunu P. Chandy, Sholanna Lewis, Frank H. Wu

Faculty Scholarship

About the Panel: Although there have been tensions, including those tied to colorism, between the Asian American and Pacific Islander and Black communities in America, there has been an equally long history of mutual support and collaboration between these two communities. How does anti-Blackness in the AAPI community impact the work of building solidarity with Black activists? In this conversation, we highlight our common ground so that Asian American and Black social justice communities can push forward our collective needs to fight racial injustice and other forms of discrimination in this country.

Gifted Education In Arkansas: A Longitudinal Study Of Gifted Status And Academic Growth, Bich Tran, Jonathan Wai, Sarah C. Mckenzie

Arkansas Education Reports

This study assesses the effectiveness of gifted programs in Arkansas by leveraging student-level achievement and demographic data of students who scored at or above the 95th percentile on state assessments in third grade. We follow five independent cohorts of these high-achieving students through eighth grade and examine the difference between the longer-term academic performance of the students that were exposed to gifted and talented services compared to similarly high achieving peers that were not identified as gifted. Using regression analyses controlling for student and district characteristics, we find that students who received gifted services demonstrated statistically significantly greater academic growth …

Digital Journalism Within The Framework Of Higher Education Public Relations: A Case Study And Manual For Creating Online Feature Stories To Engage Prospective Students, Hunter Desimone

Seton Hall University Dissertations and Theses (ETDs)

Higher education institutions (HEI) are facing increasing competition for student enrollment. Studies indicate that websites are now the main source of a prospective student’s information-gathering process, but little research has been done on how higher education institutions can operationalize their websites as functions of public relations to persuade prospective students to apply. This project investigates how concepts of digital journalism can be used to create online feature stories that engage prospective students. A case study was conducted that included an examination of digital journalism literature, an analysis of digital journalism and public relations textbooks, and a content analysis of college …

Local Implementation And Standardization Of The Pediatric Severe Traumatic Brain Injury Guidelines, Michelle Brown

Research Days

Problem Statement/Question: Severe pediatric Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. Evidence-based guidelines leave gaps in how to best implement and deliver standardized care on the local hospital level.

Background/Project Intent (Aim Statement): We aim to improve clinical outcomes for severe TBI patients (Glasgow Coma Scale ≤8) with standardization of care according to updated evidence-based guidelines. We will target early guideline adherence (initial 72 hours of PICU admission) with a focus on 1) targeted temperature management (TTM40mmHg).

Methods (include PDSA cycles): The Children’s Mercy Hospital Pediatric ICU Severe TBI Guidelines were updated after the 3rd …

Recipients Of Major Scientific Awards A Descriptive And Predictive Analysis, Andrew Barbee

Helm's School of Government Conference - 2021-2024

As a society, we desire, defend, and argue for equity in any and all areas. Sometimes the law attempts to mandate equity and provide some boundaries. Yet how does the law govern the thoughts, intentions, and actions of the heart? Thus, we need to broaden our understanding of equity. Equity is not an educational issue, nor is it a physiological issue; rather equity is a spiritual issue.

Simulation Based Clinical Systems Testing Of A Pediatric Ed To Improve Staff And Process Readiness For Pediatric Hypoglycemia, Kevin Meilak Md

Research Days

Background/Project Intent (Aim Statement): Hypoglycemia is the most common metabolic disorder in children in pediatric emergency department (ED) settings 1 . Children may present with nonspecific symptoms, or asymptomatically2 . So identification/treatment is very challenging. There is evidence in the adult literature that there is wide variability in the treatment of hypoglycemia3 . Currently Children’s Mercy does not have a standardized approach to the treatment of hypoglycemia not associated with diabetes mellitus. From observation in the clinical setting we believe there are gaps regarding the identification and treatment of hypoglycemia not associated with diabetes mellitus. Delayed recognition and under treatment …

Optimization Of Perioperative Prophylaxis In Penicillin-Allergic Labeled Patients, Katie A. Vandervelde

Research Days

Problem Statement/Question: A penicillin (PCN)-allergy label is life-long and has been shown to result in more costly, less effective, and broader-spectrum antibiotics being utilized for surgical prophylaxis. At CMH, 6.6% of surgical patients receiving perioperative antibiotics are labeled PCN-allergic. A common myth is that approximately 10% of patients with a PCN-allergy history will experience an allergic reaction if administered a cephalosporin, whereas recent observational studies have found crossreactivity rates between 0.17-0.7%. Most of these patients receive a cefazolin alternative unnecessarily. Currently, no process exists to identify and clarify PCN-allergic patients preoperatively. Data from November 2018-December 2019 found ~2.33 patients per …

A Case Of Metabolic Genetic Emergency, Elizabeth Loughman

Research Days

Background: Newborn screening (NBS) is one of the largest public health initiatives to improve infant morbidity and mortality, and this has been shown to detect and lead to prompt treatment of uncommon but rapidly fatal conditions. While NBS has changed outcomes of diseases, it is still imperative that prompt and early recognition of abnormal results and medical interventions remain the mainstay of care.

Objective: To describe a case of inborn error of metabolism in a 4-day old asymptomatic infant, where early recognition and treatment affected outcome.

Design/Methods: This case is a 4-day old female, former 36-week gestational age infant who …

Association Between Blood Pressure And Esa Dose In Pediatric Patients On Dialysis, Heather A. Morgans

Research Days

Background: Hypertension is a reported side effect of Erythropoiesis Stimulating Agents (ESAs), with a mechanism of action related to elevated hematocrit levels and direct vasopressor effects. Limited information exists on the relationship between ESA dosage and hypertension in children receiving maintenance dialysis.

Objectives/Goal: The primary aim of this study was to determine whether there is a significant association between ESA dose and blood pressure (BP) in pediatric patients on dialysis. The secondary aim was to determine covariates in relation to ESA dose.

Methods/Design: Data from the International Pediatric Dialysis Network (IPDN) database was used to retrospectively analyze the association between …

Bivalirudin And Thrombolytic Therapy: A Novel Successful Treatment Of Severe Aortic Arch Thrombosis In A Term Neonate, Amjad Taha

Research Days

SUMMARY An early term infant with uncomplicated perinatal history was found to have a large thrombus in the aortic arch after he failed regular newborn critical congenital heart defect (CCHD) screen. He responded well to Bivalirudin thrombolytic and tissue-Plasminogen activator (tPA) combination therapy, with a significant resolution of the thrombus. The infant tolerated hospital admission well with no significant complications. He was discharged home on daily aspirin at two weeks of life. To our knowledge, the combination therapy approach with Bivalirudin and tPA is the first one reported in the literature in the neonatal age group.

BACKGROUND Aortic arch thrombosis …

Functional Outcomes Of Infants With Chiari Ii Malformation With Tracheostomy And Home Ventilator Dependence, Abbigayle Carlson

Research Days

Background: Chiari II malformation is relatively common with an incidence of about 1 in 1000 live birth and is associated with reduced life expectancy. Characteristic features are beaked midbrain, downward displacement of the tonsils, and cerebellar vermis, and spinal myelomeningocele that can be associated with hydrocephalus needing ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VP shunt). Mortality is about 50-70% if not recognized early. Survivors have high morbidity and develop neurologic abnormalities and significant developmental delays. Long-term outcome is poorly understood.

Objective: Not much has been published that describes the outcome of infant with Chiari II malformation that received tracheostomy for long-term ventilator support. Our …

Diagnosis And Management Of Otitis Media With Effusion In Pediatric Urgent Care Clinics, Ashley Deschepper

Research Days

Background: Otitis media with effusion (OME)’s clinical presentation is often confused with acute otitis media (AOM) by providers. Despite OME guidelines recommending watchful waiting with no antibiotics, rates of antibiotic use remain elevated. In our pediatric urgent care clinics (UCCs), an estimated 50% of patients diagnosed with OME receive antibiotic prescriptions.

Objectives/Goal: To determine the provider diagnosis validity and the rates of antibiotics prescribed among pediatric OME patients evaluated in 3 UCCs within a pediatric healthcare system.

Methods/Design: We randomly selected 75% of encounters for children age 0-18 years who had a billing diagnosis of OME in 2019. Charts were …

Evaluation Of A Symptom-Based Algorithm For Managing Battery Ingestions In Children, James Fraser

Research Days

Background/Objectives/Goal: Complications from battery ingestion in the pediatric population are becoming more severe due to the emergence of stronger and smaller batteries. We previously established a symptom-focused, evidence-based algorithm for battery ingestion and seek to evaluate this protocol to investigate its safety and potential cost benefit. (Figure 1)

Methods/Design: Following IRB approval, all radiographs performed for foreign body ingestion between 2017-2020 were reviewed. All button battery ingestions were included to evaluate an institutional symptom-based algorithm emphasizing observation over intervention.

Results: Review of 2,237 foreign bodies series demonstrated 44 button battery ingestions. Median age at ingestion was 3.8 years [2.5,5.2]. Locations …

Phenotypic Characterization Of Jarid2-Related Intellectual Disability: A Case Series, Maxime Cadieux-Dion

Research Days

Background: In recent years, wide implementation of research and clinical next generation sequencing has led to an astonishing number of novel disease-gene assertions. Recently, loss of function variants in JARID2 were reported in 16 patients with a clinically distinct neurodevelopmental phenotype that consisted of neurodevelopmental delay, intellectual disability (ID), learning disability, autism and behavioral abnormalities. Dysmorphic features were seen in most patients and included high anterior hairline, deep-set eyes, full lips, broad forehead, bulbous nasal tip, or depressed nasal bridge. Cleft lip/palate was observed in only 1/16 patients. Most cases were de novo, with only one inherited case from an …
