Patient Compliance Through Education For Type 2 Diabetics On New Medications: Sglt-2 Inhibitors And Glp-1 Analogues, Lindsay Hachat, Carlin Clark, Tiffani Chew, Jocelyn Hayes
Scholars Day Conference
Objective: Type 2 diabetics have a higher prevalence of cardiovascular disease complications (Glovaci et al., 2019). Cardiovascular disease was the cause of death in 9.9% of Type II Diabetics which represents 50.3% of all deaths related to Type II Diabetes Mellitus (Einarson et al., 2017). Across the world, cardiovascular disease affects approximately 32.2% of all people with Type II Diabetes Mellitus (Einarson et al., 2017). This begs the question: in individuals with type 2 diabetes, does medication education on Sodium-Glucose Co-Transporter 2 inhibitors, or SGLT-2 inhibitors, and Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Agonists, or GLP-1 agonists, increase patient compliance with medication by medication …

The Effect Of Social Media Education In Preventing Smoking In Adolescents To Reduce The Incidence Of Copd, Adam Lott, Sarah Hankins, Kloe Parsons, Paige Tankersley
Scholars Day Conference
Objective: Smoking is the leading cause of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and can lead to other health problems like cardiovascular disease, type two diabetes, and lung cancer (World Health Organization, 2024). The population chosen for the study is adolescents aged 10-19 because smokers normally start smoking on a routine basis before the age of twenty (Reitsma, 2021). The research question is: what is the effect of social media education in preventing smoking in adolescents to reduce the incidence of COPD?
Methods: A literature review was conducted to explore evidence-based best practices for social media education using ProQuest and Google …
Review Of Literature To Investigate Evidence Based Research For Military Members Living With Copd, Constance Ecker, Hannah Crosswhite, Lauren Jamell
Review Of Literature To Investigate Evidence Based Research For Military Members Living With Copd, Constance Ecker, Hannah Crosswhite, Lauren Jamell
Scholars Day Conference
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a disease that causes airflow blockage and breathing-related problems. COPD causes fatigue, breathing difficulty, impaired oxygenation, mucous production, and wheezing. Centers for Disease Control states that there are 14.2 million U.S. adults diagnosed with COPD (CDC, 2021). There is an estimated 8% to 19% of military personnel diagnosed with COPD (Bamonti et al, 2022). Military personnel are at risk for COPD complications related to increased chemicals and poor air quality exposure. This literature review explored educational interventions to reduce COPD complications for military members. The research question for this project is: What are the …

Effects Of Exercise, Calcium And Vitamin D On Those 65 And Older Living With Osteoporosis, Mackenzie Amaya, Leah Miller, Olivia Dixon, Riley Kratz
Scholars Day Conference
Objective: There are 37 million fractures that occur annually around the world which is equal to 70 fractures per minute (Epidemiology Of Osteoporosis And Fragility Fractures, 2024). It is estimated the mortality rate following a hip fracture is 20-40% within one year (Epidemiology of osteoporosis and fragility fractures, 2024). A literature review was performed to explore primary prevention techniques for reducing osteoporotic hip fractures. This guided the research question: "In individuals aged 65 and older living with osteoporosis, what is the effectiveness of calcium with vitamin D supplementation and weight-bearing exercises in reducing the occurrence of osteoporotic hip fractures?"
Methods: …

Core Activation Through The Measurement Of Traditional Vs. Non-Traditional Core Exercises, Erica Stilwell, Taylor Moran, Chris Couch
Scholars Day Conference
Athletic trainers at the collegiate level have a responsibility to their athletes to prepare them in core endurance and strength for their specific needs. The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of muscle fiber recruitment between traditional core exercises and non-traditional core exercises measured by an electromyography (EMG) machine in different vital core muscles. Twenty-four college students participated and were randomly sorted into two exercise groups, traditional or non-traditional. The traditional core exercise group performed ten bicycle crunches while the non-traditional core exercise group performed ten stability ball passes for each trial recorded. The participants wore four …
The Effect Of Nurse-To-Patient Ratio On Medication Errors, Karlee Sutterfield, Jacob Holt, Jasimine Riley
The Effect Of Nurse-To-Patient Ratio On Medication Errors, Karlee Sutterfield, Jacob Holt, Jasimine Riley
Scholars Day Conference
This review of literature aims to find evidence for a nurse-to-patient ratio of 1:2 and the effect it has on reducing medication errors in the intensive care unit (ICU). The review of literature was conducted to explore factors that contribute to medication errors and the benefits of a 1:2 nurse-to-patient ratio versus a 1:3 nurse-to-patient ratio in the ICU. The evidence can help inform staffing decisions makers about safe nurse-to-patient ratios in the ICU and the effect this ratio has on reducing medication errors. A secondary aim is to assess the potential benefit of a 1:2 nurse-to-patient ratio on additional …
Nausea Control Using Cannabis Vs. Pharmacological Interventions While Undergoing Chemotherapy, Jenna Rogers, Fernanda Valencia, Hayli Woolley
Nausea Control Using Cannabis Vs. Pharmacological Interventions While Undergoing Chemotherapy, Jenna Rogers, Fernanda Valencia, Hayli Woolley
Scholars Day Conference
Cancer patients who undergo chemotherapy typically experience nausea and vomiting. The patient is in turn prescribed multiple medications in order to remedy all the side effects. The purpose of this study is to determine if the use of oral cannabis is more effective in reducing nausea and vomiting compared to the use of pharmacological interventions for nausea and vomiting control for people diagnosed with any stage of cancer who are undergoing chemotherapy treatment.

The Effects Of Music Therapy On The Aggressive Behaviors Of Long-Term Car Residents With Alzheimer's Disease, Kaleigh Thomas, Brooklyn Hester, Jana Milam, Noah Barker
Scholars Day Conference
Objectives: Alzheimer's disease is a type of dementia which causes the brain to slowly degenerate leading to memory loss and the reduced ability to perform activities of daily living. The disease can also cause individuals to become combative, aggressive, and to suffer personality changes. This literature review examines the effects of music therapy on the combative behaviors of long-term care residents diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease.
Methods: A review of the literature was conducted using PubMed, Google Scholar, and the National Library of Medicine. Peer reviewed articles were limited to full text articles written within the past five years. Abstracts were …

The Effects Of Acupressure On Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea And Vomiting, Christian Carney, Landen Hill, Emily Watson, Paloma Moreno Avalos
Scholars Day Conference
Patients with cancer report chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) remain the most debilitating side effect of chemotherapy. The incidence of CINV is prone to metabolic disorders, malnutrition, and weight loss, which will lead to an obvious negative effect on patients’ emotion, social, physical function and overall quality of life. The objective of this literature review was to find evidence to support a nonpharmacological and noninvasive intervention that can provide relief for CINV.

The History Of Nursing In Arkansas, Martha Annette Johnson
The History Of Nursing In Arkansas, Martha Annette Johnson
Honors Theses
This paper tells very briefly the history of nursing in Arkansas. Because a thorough investigation of the history of nursing would require a longer period of time, I have chosen the most striking events pertaining to the subject.
The information in this paper was taken from unpublished manuscripts, mostly minutes from meetings of various organizations, in the possession of Miss Linnie Beauchamp, R.N., who is currently compiling the information for a book. I am greatly indebted to her for the time and help she has given to me.
