Implementing A Diabetes Prevention Program At A Community Pharmacy, Monica A. Geiger Msn, Rn
Doctor of Nursing Practice Projects
Background: Hispanics are 70% more likely to be diagnosed with diabetes and twice as likely to experience complications related to this disease than non-Hispanic whites (CDC, 2021). Currently there is consistent evidence supporting that community-based educational initiatives called cultural and linguistically appropriate services (CLAS) have a significant impact on Body Mass Index (BMI) in Hispanic populations. The CLAS standards are intended to advance health equity, improve quality, and help eliminate health care disparities. Yet, CLAS has not been implemented in some areas in Dallas, Texas.
Purpose: To implement a community-based educational program based on CLAS to increase participants’ knowledge regarding …

The Oncology Clinical Trial Nurse Complex Design And Role Comprehension Training Evaluation Project, Pamela Herena Msn, Rn, Ocn
Doctor of Nursing Practice Projects
Background: The oncology Clinical Trial Nurse (CTN) plays a significant role in conducting clinical trials; however, the role comes with many challenges. These difficulties are related to the expanding landscape, advances in cancer research, complex trial designs, and the lack of role definition leading to role confusion and limited role comprehension.
Aims/Objectives: The project’s purpose was to develop a training program specific to complex clinical trial design, cancer disease overview and the oncology clinical trial nurse role. The aim focuses on the evaluation of the program by clinical trial research leaders.
Methods: A non-probability convenience snowball sampling method was used …
Improving Mental Wellness In Clinical Staff: Using Respite Rooms And Mindfulness Strategies In Ambulatory Care Settings, Whitney Hodges Shanley
Improving Mental Wellness In Clinical Staff: Using Respite Rooms And Mindfulness Strategies In Ambulatory Care Settings, Whitney Hodges Shanley
Doctor of Nursing Practice Projects
Background: Diminished physical and mental wellness of clinical staff leads to poor patient health outcomes and high turnover rates. Providing designated quiet spaces to practice mindfulness can be beneficial to the overall health of healthcare workers, thus, improving compassion fatigue, job satisfaction, and retention of clinical staff.
Aim: This project implemented a respite room in an ambulatory care practice to improve clinical staff’s self-reported ratings of compassion fatigue, compassion satisfaction, and intent to leave their job.
Methods: This quality improvement project used a pre- and post-test design to compare clinical staff ratings of compassion fatigue (burnout and secondary traumatic stress), …

The repeat c-section rate for all patients is greater than 80%. These findings underscore the need for intervention to reduce primary cesarean section deliveries in African American Women.
Objective: This quality improvement project aimed to implement caregiver education on the ACOG/SMFM definition of the first and second-stage labor arrest disorder to reduce primary cesarean section birth for African American women.
Method: This pre-and post-intervention quality improvement project was conducted on …

Addressing Verbal Aggression To Reduce Workplace Violence Against Nurses, Rebecca Harris
Addressing Verbal Aggression To Reduce Workplace Violence Against Nurses, Rebecca Harris
Doctor of Nursing Practice Projects
Background: Almost three-quarters of non-fatal workplace violence-related injuries requiring time away from the workplace occur in the healthcare and social services sector. More than 90 percent of assaults against nurses are from patients. Verbal aggression was correlated with physical violence and could contribute to nurses’ stress and dissatisfaction and compromise patient care. Policies and guidelines addressing verbal aggression against nurses are often unclear and not well-supported by evidence. This can leave nurses unprepared to recognize and respond to verbal aggression or threats of physical harm without compromising their safety.
Aim: This health policy analysis aimed to explore a range of …

Could The Altmetrics Wave Bring A Flood Of Confusion For Anatomists?, Jessica N Byram, Michelle D Lazarus, Adam B Wilson, Kirsten M. Brown
Could The Altmetrics Wave Bring A Flood Of Confusion For Anatomists?, Jessica N Byram, Michelle D Lazarus, Adam B Wilson, Kirsten M. Brown
Health Sciences Education Research
Altmetrics are non-traditional metrics that can capture downloads, social media shares, and other modern measures of research impact and reach. Despite most of the altmetrics literature focusing on evaluating the relationship between research outputs and academic impact/influence, the perceived and actual value of altmetrics among academicians remains nebulous and inconsistent. This work proposes that ambiguities surrounding the value and use of altmetrics may be explained by a multiplicity of altmetrics definitions communicated by journal publishers. A root cause analysis was initiated to compare altmetrics definitions between anatomy and medical education journal publishers' websites and to determine the comparability of the …
