Reducing Perineal Tears: The Effect Of Pushing Methods And Length Of 2nd Stage Of Labor, Kristen A. Mohre, Jessica A. Wall, Chien-Yueh Lee
Pharmacy and Nursing Student Research and Evidence-Based Medicine Poster Session
Objective: To evaluate the current literature evidence for the effects of either instructed or spontaneous pushing on perineal laceration incidence during delivery and the duration of second stage of labor.
Background: Lacerations (tears) of the perineum are common among women during delivery, increasing pain, infection risk, and other problems for women. Furthermore, prolonged second stage of labor has been shown a risk factor for lacerations. Pushing methods could have an effect on the incidence of lacerations and duration of second stage of labor.
Methods: Thorough search of online databases for the highest levels of evidence relating to the topic within …

Problem and Significance: Adolescents in the U.S. are subjected to multiple media messages, peer influence, and cultural acceptance of sexual activity that result in one of the highest rates of teen pregnancy, teen abortion, and sexually transmitted disease among all developed nations. Varying educational curriculums have been studied regarding their effectiveness in decreasing these negative societal issues with our youth. The Women’s Pregnancy Center within Peoria Rescue Ministries has been administering abstinence-plus sex education curriculum, Against the Tide (ATT), to various school systems for the past 15 years. However, the effectiveness of the ATT curriculum had not been measured. …

Evidence-Based Recommendations For The Assessment Of Severe Acute Malnutrition In Children Aged 6-59 Months In The Central African Republic, Rachel R. Wong

Thirty-five percent of mortalities in children under the age of five can be attributed to malnutrition (World Health Organization (WHO), n.d.). Nearly 24 percent of children less than five from 2008-2012 in the Central African Republic were moderately or severely underweight and nearly eight percent suffered from severe or moderate wasting (The United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund, 2013). As a result of recent sectarian violence which began with a coup in March 2013, the Central African Republic is facing a nutrition crisis. As a result, an estimated 28,000 Central African children under the age of five are predicted to …
Smoking Cessation During Pregnancy: An Evidence Based Practice Protocol, Katherine J. Ruhlman
Smoking Cessation During Pregnancy: An Evidence Based Practice Protocol, Katherine J. Ruhlman
Master of Science in Nursing Evidence-Based Practice Projects
Intrauterine exposure to nicotine is one of the largest modifiable risk factors for infant morbidity and mortality. Previous progress toward decreasing the number impacted by intrauterine nicotine exposure has recently plateaued. While guidelines for assisting pregnant women to stop smoking are available, few providers have a formalized protocol in place. This project will evaluate most current research evidence regarding smoking cessation during pregnancy in order to develop a formalized protocol for implementation in an obstetric clinic in Southwest Ohio. Reviewed literature was summarized and level of evidence was established. Recommendations were made and categorized as strong, moderate, and weak. The …

PICOT: In pregnant women does the use of nicotine replacement therapy compared to smoking during pregnancy reduce the risk of future childhood health concerns?
Methods: A search was conducted on healthcare literature databases (Alt HealthWatch, AMED, CINAHL, and Medline).The initial search yielded 940 results related to the topic. Initial review narrowed the search to 25 articles. Articles were excluded if published before 2008. After reviewing the full articles and evaluating effectiveness of the studies, 12 studies met the criteria. These 12 articles focused on the effects of smoking and childhood outcomes, NRT, and success of NRT.
Findings: The articles concluded …
