Assessment Of Intrapartum Nurses' Beliefs Related To Birth Practices, Janice Scaggs
Assessment Of Intrapartum Nurses' Beliefs Related To Birth Practices, Janice Scaggs
Doctoral Projects
Intrapartum nurses’ beliefs influence nursing behavior and nursing interventions during labor and birth. Assessing these beliefs in a regional hospital in the Southeastern United States was the focus of the doctoral project. Before the project, there was no objective data that assessed individual nurse’s beliefs and birth practices in the labor and delivery unit, or among the nursing staff as a whole. A knowledge gap existed in understanding if the nursing culture valued, promoted, and supported intended vaginal birth. Nursing leadership recognized that the overall cesarean birth rate and primary cesarean birth rate in the hospital were similar to State …

Evaluating The Experience Of Patient And Provider Satisfaction In Participation In A Hybrid Virtual Perinatal Care Model In A Private Practice Setting, Gretchen Ann Delong Nelson
Doctoral Projects
Improving access to health care in general and to appropriate prenatal care specifically are two leading health indicators (LHI) as designated by Healthy People 2020 (U.S Department of Health and Human Services, 2010). The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) also prioritizes minimizing health disparities that prevent women from entering into prenatal health care (CDPH, 2019). In Fresno county, transportation to specialty care such as perinatal care has been identified as a barrier (CDPH, 2017). The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) and The American Academy of Pediatricians (AAP) have identified a standard of fourteen to sixteen visits for …

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder And Mindfulness Practice In Children And Adolescents: A Comprehensive Review Of Evidence-Based Research, Donna Nikander
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder And Mindfulness Practice In Children And Adolescents: A Comprehensive Review Of Evidence-Based Research, Donna Nikander
Doctoral Projects
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is the most common mental illness in the United States among male and female children and adolescents between the ages of 3 and 17. The emerging fields of neurobiology and neuroimaging have proposed a relationship between mindfulness meditation therapies—initially referred to as mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) and now simply known as mindfulness—and improvements in attention and self-regulation, two major problem areas for ADHD sufferers. Furthermore, recent studies suggest that mindfulness therapies may be effective in reducing symptoms of ADHD in children and adolescents. The purpose of this paper is to review, analyze and synthesize the …
Implementation Of Interprofessional Education And Physician Order Set Improves Compliance With Early Recognition And Treatment Of Maternal Sepsis, Lori Susan Olvera
Implementation Of Interprofessional Education And Physician Order Set Improves Compliance With Early Recognition And Treatment Of Maternal Sepsis, Lori Susan Olvera
Doctoral Projects
Septic shock is rare in pregnancy; however, sepsis remains an important contributor to maternal mortality. The perinatal patient can appear deceptively well before rapidly deteriorating to septic shock. There is a need for protocols regarding early recognition and management of maternal sepsis. The Surviving Sepsis Campaign developed guidelines to provide guidance for the clinician caring for patients with severe sepsis or septic shock. The purpose of this doctoral project was to evaluate compliance with early goal directed therapy before, during, and following the implementation of a standardized physician order set and interprofessional education for nurses and physicians in the perinatal …
