MSN Research Projects
The purpose of this study was to identify the level of confidence for primary care providers in authorizing athletic retum-to-play following sports-related injury. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) (as cited in Patel, Yamasaki, & Brown, 2017) reported that 2.6 million children and teens ages 0-19 years are treated annually for sports-related injuries, and 7.2 million high school students participate in sports and suffer an estimated 2 million injuries that require 500,000 doctor visits and 30,000 hospitalizations annually. Although primary care providers are providing care for musculoskeletal and concussive injuries, Benham and Geier (2016) reported that they may …

Opioid And Naloxone Prescribing Practices In Mississippi, Rebecca Brown, Brittany Clayton, Alissa Damiens, Natalie Keyes, Gary A. Mcpherson, Anna E. Wiygul
MSN Research Projects
The purpose of this study was to determine whether primary care providers (PCPs) in Mississippi are following the selected Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines published in March 2016 for prescribing opioids for chronic, non-cancer pain. The study also sought to determine if the selected providers prescribed naloxone for opioid overdose reversal. Drug overdoses have increased exponentially in the last 3 decades in the United States (Doyon, Aks, & Schaeffer, 2014) — leading to opioid overdose becoming the most frequent cause of accidental death. Opioid overdose death rates are so high the CDC declared it a problem of …

Knowledge And Beliefs Of Parents Of Young Athletes Regarding Sports-Related Overuse Injuries, Kathryn C. Carroll
MSN Research Projects
Overuse injuries in the pediatric population constitute a substantial healthcare problem. Approximately 50% of pediatric sports-related injuries occur from overuse (McLeod et al., 2011). Although overuse injuries are not associated with direct mortality, the morbidity of these injuries is significant (Laker, Strum, & Sullivan, 2015). Research has shown that these injuries can be prevented by early recognition and diligent efforts by those that influence a child’s health (McLeod et al., 2011). Parental knowledge and intentionality are vital to the prevention of overuse injuries in children. Researchers administered a descriptive, quantitative survey to parents of young athletes ages 5 to 18 …
College Students’ Knowledge Of Human Papillomavirus, Knowledge Of Human Papillomavirus Vaccination Series, And Their Human Papillomavirus Vaccination Compliance, Shelley Hamblin
MSN Research Projects
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most prevalent sexually-transmitted infection in the U.S. Specific types have been linked to 70% of cervical cancers, 90% of genital warts, 65% of vulvar cancers, 35% of penile cancers, and 70% of head and neck cancers (Markowitz et al., 2014). According to the CDC, the most effective way to prevent HPV- associated infections and HPV-related cancer is through vaccination. The purpose of this study was to determine how knowledgeable college students ages 18-26 years are of HPV, HPV vaccine, and vaccination compliance among these students. The Health Promotion Model (HPM) created by Pender (2011) was …

Cognitive Screening Practices Of Primary Care Providers In Mississippi, Andrea Branch
MSN Research Projects
Cognitive impairment is one of the predominant diagnoses that in its early stages remain undetected in the primary healthcare setting. With Alzheimer's and dementia on the rise, it is paramount that cognitive impairment be detected promptly so preventative measures may be initiated to slow or avert progression of this dreaded disease. The annual wellness visit, a Medicare benefit added by the Affordable Care Act of 2010, recommends primary care providers conduct a screening to detect cognitive impairment during the course of this assessment. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid services failed to recommend a specific screening tool to be utilized …

A Change In Pre-Participation Exam Guidelines For Student Athletes In The State Of Mississippi, Alisha Tenhet
MSN Research Projects
Despite the current requirements for pre-participation physical exams (PPE) in Mississippi, student athletes medically cleared during PPEs continue to experience sudden cardiac death from undiagnosed cardiac abnormalities. Research states that one in every 200,000 high school athletes experiences sudden cardiac death, the majority of which are attributed to structural heart problems. Although most high school athletes are required to complete a PPE, the concern is that physical exams alone are not enough to identify cardiac abnormalities. The purpose of this study is to determine if student athletes are appropriately screened for cardiac risks. The researchers compared current practices with existing …
