Improving Compliance: Listening To The Patient's Perspective, Faith Coleman
Improving Compliance: Listening To The Patient's Perspective, Faith Coleman
UNF Graduate Theses and Dissertations
A large number of patients do not follow medical advice for reasons generally unclear to the health care provider. Significant morbidity and mortality can be outcomes of noncompliance. The purpose of this naturalistic inquiry was to study and clarify from the patient's perspective, issues identified as influencing the ability to comply with provider recommendations. Data collection and analysis occurred simultaneously as a fluid process of organizing and synthesizing qualitative material into categories or themes that emerged to illuminate a phenomenon. Seventy-six percent of participants described themselves as 100% compliant though they did not take medications as prescribed or failed to …
The Effect Of Meal Composition And Body Fat On Sleep And Tiredness, Michael Malone
The Effect Of Meal Composition And Body Fat On Sleep And Tiredness, Michael Malone
All Volumes (2001-2008)
The role of dietary carbohydrates, dietary fat, and body fat in the regulation of sleep and tiredness was determined by studying sleep and tiredness in nineteen female subjects of different body compositions. It was hypothesized that dietary fat and body fat interact to cause an increase in sleep and tiredness. Subjects were healthy college students between the ages of 18 and 25 years old. This study was dual-phased. Phase I involved a 21 day record of normal hours slept per day and self-reported tiredness. In Phase II, the subjects consumed both a high-fat and high-carbohydrate diet for five days (for …
The Effect Of Training With Nmes On Elbow Flexion Strength, Shante Hill
The Effect Of Training With Nmes On Elbow Flexion Strength, Shante Hill
All Volumes (2001-2008)
Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) may be used to prevent atrophy and strength loss associated with postsurgical immobilization. A number of studies have tested the effectiveness of NMES using primarily knee extensors. The purpose of this investigation is to test the effectiveness NMES when training the elbow flexors by comparing NMES to voluntary training. Twenty-four university students were assigned with a counter-balanced design to one of three groups: NMES training, voluntary training, or a control group that did not train. Testing and training sessions were completed using a Biodex™ dynamometer. After a standard warm-up, subjects were positioned on the Biodex™ with …
