Religious Coping And Christ-Centered Recovery For Women With Substance Use Disorders, Mary Beth Bever
Religious Coping And Christ-Centered Recovery For Women With Substance Use Disorders, Mary Beth Bever
DNP Scholarly Projects
Women have unique risk factors for the development of substance use disorder (SUD), barriers to SUD treatment, and risk factors for SUD relapse that require holistic care models and provide trauma-informed care approaches that address effective coping strategies. The use of religion and spirituality has been commonplace in many SUD programs to inspire the use of positive religious coping; however, negative religious coping may also be drawn on which poses a potential harm for women with SUD. The aim of this project was to assess for a correlation in positive and negative religious coping scores and program completion rates in …
Responding To Opioid Use Disorder: Identifying The Therapeutic Commitment Of Maine Nurse Practitioners, Jordan S. Porter
Responding To Opioid Use Disorder: Identifying The Therapeutic Commitment Of Maine Nurse Practitioners, Jordan S. Porter
DNP Scholarly Projects
Background: Buprenorphine, an underutilized pharmacotherapy, can play a key role in closing the substantial opioid use disorder (OUD) treatment gap in the United States. Although 2016 US legislation authorized trained nurse practitioners (NPs) to obtain the Drug Enforcement Agency waiver to prescribe buprenorphine for OUD, many NPs do not have the waiver, and a large proportion of waivered NPs do not prescribe to capacity. Purpose: To identify the therapeutic commitment of Maine NPs to OUD as well as understand why Maine NPs do not adopt and utilize buprenorphine for the treatment of OUD. Review of Evidence: Commitment …
Self-Care And Burnout Among Nurses In A Hospital Setting, Hannah Stirnaman
Self-Care And Burnout Among Nurses In A Hospital Setting, Hannah Stirnaman
DNP Scholarly Projects
Rates of burnout among healthcare professionals are well documented. The burnout of professional nurses is associated with a number of poor outcomes with costly consequences to both the healthcare system and public health. The American Nurses Association (ANA) has pushed for an initiative entitled Healthy Nurse Healthy Nation that encourages nurses to prioritize their health first and lists compelling statistics of nurse stress, mental health concerns, and workplace injuries. Burnout, a combination of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and decreased productivity, is one consequence of workplace stress and the demands placed on nurses; however, there is a lack of research on individualized …
Contraception Utilization Among Women, Ages 18-45, Receiving Medication Assisted Therapy For Opioid Use Disorder In Middle Tennessee, Kerry J. Ternes
Contraception Utilization Among Women, Ages 18-45, Receiving Medication Assisted Therapy For Opioid Use Disorder In Middle Tennessee, Kerry J. Ternes
DNP Scholarly Projects
The prevalence of unintended pregnancy among women receiving medication assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid use disorder (OUD) exceeds 80%. While much of the existing literature has focused on the consequences of substance use in pregnancy, few have focused on the prevention of unintended pregnancy. This study explored barriers and facilitating factors impacting contraception use among women, ages 18-45, receiving MAT for OUD in Middle Tennessee. A cross-sectional survey design was used to describe the women’s sociodemographic and health characteristics; report their knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors; and to assess if these variables are associated with current use of contraception. Among survey …
Stress And Coping In Hospice Care, Elyse L. Collier
Stress And Coping In Hospice Care, Elyse L. Collier
DNP Scholarly Projects
Accommodating current hospice care needs and anticipated industry expansion requires protection and optimization of human resources serving as frontline care providers. Coping responses employed by individuals serve as important determinants of their overall personal and occupational well-being. There is limited research focusing on the coping responses of hospice professionals, specifically, how they perceive and manage their own work stress and work-related quality of life. The purpose of this study was to examine how coping responses are related to work-related quality of life among individual professionals working together on outpatient interdisciplinary hospice care teams. A cross-sectional survey-based design was utilized to …
Effects Of Adverse Childhood Experiences On Pain Interference And Anxiety In An Integrative Chronic Pain Clinic, Kerrin Doran Kunze
Effects Of Adverse Childhood Experiences On Pain Interference And Anxiety In An Integrative Chronic Pain Clinic, Kerrin Doran Kunze
DNP Scholarly Projects
One in four children in the United States will experience abuse or neglect before the age of 18-years-old. Adverse childhood experiences increase the risk for chronic pain disorders and maladaptive coping strategies that can intensify patients’ experience of pain and disrupt or prolong treatment. Current research encourages a biopsychosocial approach to understanding and treating chronic pain, one that acknowledges the influence of childhood trauma and works to restore health by treating pain of the body, mind, and spirit. This retrospective study examined self-reported measures in a convenience sample of 162 individuals seeking treatment for chronic pain at an integrative care …
Mortality Influenced By Sepsis Bundle Compliance And Initial Lactic Acid In Severe Sepsis And Septic Shock, Evelyn George
Mortality Influenced By Sepsis Bundle Compliance And Initial Lactic Acid In Severe Sepsis And Septic Shock, Evelyn George
DNP Scholarly Projects
Sepsis, a life-threatening infection killing 270,000 yearly, is a concern to health care providers, policy makers, and patients due to its high volume and increasing cost. Patients older than 64 years have a higher occurrence of sepsis and greater mortality risk. The Surviving Sepsis Guidelines (SSG) recommends the use of the three-hour bundle that standardizes care to decrease cost, morbidity, and mortality. The three-hour bundle includes two treatments, intravenous fluids and antibiotics, and two tests, blood cultures and lactic acid level. One bundle element, lactic acid level, is associated with higher mortality rates, although only a few studies exist. The …
