Implementation Of Sleep Problem Screening In A Pediatric Primary Care Office, Jennifer Erin O'Donnell
Implementation Of Sleep Problem Screening In A Pediatric Primary Care Office, Jennifer Erin O'Donnell
Dissertations
Sleep problems, a major problem for children and their parents, are the most common complaint brought to pediatric clinicians (advanced practice nurses and other healthcare providers) attention but are often ignored and underdiagnosed in the pediatric population (Faruqui, Khubchandani, Price, Bolyard, & Reddy, 2011). “Sufficient amounts of good quality sleep are necessary for healthy development in childhood” (Bordeleau, Bernier, & Carrier, 2012, p. 254). Inadequate sleep in children has been linked to numerous adverse outcomes psychologically as well as physically (Owens, Jones, & Nash, 2011). The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), issued recommendations in 2002 stating screening for snoring, one …

Nursing Faculty Works
Background Weight gain during the childbearing years and failure to lose pregnancy weight after birth contribute to the development of obesity in postpartum Latinas. Methods Madres para la Salud [Mothers for Health] was a 12-month, randomized controlled trial exploring a social support intervention with moderate-intensity physical activity (PA) seeking to effect changes in body fat, fat tissue inflammation, and depression symptoms in sedentary postpartum Latinas. This report describes the efficacy of the Madres intervention. Results The results show that while social support increased during the active intervention delivery, it declined to pre-intervention levels by the end of the intervention. There …
Assessing The Monitoring And Management Of Overweight And Obesity In Children Hospitalized For Asthma, Anne E. Borgmeyer
Assessing The Monitoring And Management Of Overweight And Obesity In Children Hospitalized For Asthma, Anne E. Borgmeyer
Dissertations
Asthma and overweight are two of the most common chronic health problems in children. Data support a relationship between the two health issues. Although asthma is one of the top reasons for hospital admission for children, little is known about the prevalence of overweight and obesity or clinical practice related to weight in children hospitalized for asthma. The purpose of this project was to assess weight characteristics of children admitted with asthma, as well as the current practices of monitoring and management of overweight and obesity in children hospitalized with asthma. A retrospective review of medical records was conducted. The …
Provider Perception Of Patient Satisfaction If Antibiotics Are Not Given For Upper Respiratory Infection, Robyn Doniel Drake
Provider Perception Of Patient Satisfaction If Antibiotics Are Not Given For Upper Respiratory Infection, Robyn Doniel Drake
Dissertations
The purpose of this project was to assess if advanced practice nurse practitioners perceived patient satisfaction of patients seen in Metropolitan Retail Clinics was improved after educational materials were given to explain when antibiotics work. I hypothesized that provider perception of patient satisfaction would decrease unnecessary prescribing of antibiotics after providing patient education? This project used questionnaires to collect data from control and intervention groups to demonstrate a gain in provider perception if patient satisfaction after education was given in the intervention group. The results of this project did not reveal to the primary investigator what was originally assumed, that …
Increasing Patients’ Knowledge In Transmission Of Bacterial Vaginosis And Its Treatment Regimens, Debra Garner
Increasing Patients’ Knowledge In Transmission Of Bacterial Vaginosis And Its Treatment Regimens, Debra Garner
Dissertations
Research has shown bacterial vaginosis to be one of the most common vaginal disorders in women of child bearing age (Chen, Tian, & Beigi, 2009; Centers for Disease Control, 2012; Menard, 2011). Each year many women are seen by their gynecologist, sexually transmitted infection (STI) clinics, and emergency rooms (ER) for complaints of having malodorous discharge (Bradshaw, et al., 2005). Several STI’s and adverse pregnancy outcomes have been attributed to women having bacterial vaginosis (Bradshaw, et al, 2005; Chen, et al.2009; Elkins, & Mayeaux, 2010). Women are predisposed to bacterial vaginosis by the use of wearing non cotton underwear, douching, …
Nutrition, Appetite And Weight Loss In Elders Living In Long-Term Care Facilities, Karene Marie Goodman
Nutrition, Appetite And Weight Loss In Elders Living In Long-Term Care Facilities, Karene Marie Goodman
Dissertations
Abstract Elders living in long-term care facilities often experience weight loss. Weight loss in elders has been shown to increase their risk of death. Existing research has identified numerous factors associated with appetite and weight loss in elders. Dementia, depression, acute and chronic illness, and medications have all been identified as potential causes of decreased appetite and weight loss in elders. Only a few nutritional and appetite assessment tools exist, and these tools are not widely used in long-term care facilities. The purpose of this descriptive study was to validate the Simplified Nutritional Appetite Questionnaire (SNAQ), an appetite assessment tool …
Instituting A Behavioral Wellness Program And Updating A Clinical Pathway For Economically Disadvantaged Overweight And Obese Adults In A Community Health Center: A Clinical Scholarship Project, Kimberly D. Buck
Dissertations
This project is intentionally instituted in an underserved community in an attempt to bridge the gap of health disparities in a population that would otherwise not have access to such programs. The purpose of this clinical scholarship project is to work with the Midwestern health center to encourage weight loss as well as to promote healthy lifestyles and reduce risk factors among economically disadvantaged persons by: (a) starting a wellness program that incorporates both behavioral and physical health using principles of motivational interviewing and health coaching, and (b) updating a clinical pathway for persons with a body mass index twenty-five …
Safety Hazards Education For Mothers Who Are Homeless: Target Teaching To Improve Knowledge Of Safety Hazards For Children Under Five Years Of Age, Susan Halpern Fliesher
Safety Hazards Education For Mothers Who Are Homeless: Target Teaching To Improve Knowledge Of Safety Hazards For Children Under Five Years Of Age, Susan Halpern Fliesher
Dissertations
The leading cause of morbidity and mortality in children in the U. S. is unintentional injury (Center for Disease Control Child Injury Report, 2000 to 2006), but there is little information about homeless mothers with children and child unintentional injury. Frencher et al. (2010) compared lower socioeconomic families with children with housing to homeless families with children, and found that unintentional injury was 13% higher among homeless children. Mothers who are homeless often need to navigate a variety of temporary housing and may lack understanding of child safety hazards in strange environments, limiting their ability to ensure their children’s safety …
Quantitative Measurement Of Reciprocal Social Behavior Among Toddlers Aged 18 To 24, Rebecca Sarah Light-Pearlman
Quantitative Measurement Of Reciprocal Social Behavior Among Toddlers Aged 18 To 24, Rebecca Sarah Light-Pearlman
Dissertations
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that starts in early childhood. It is characterized by impairments in reciprocal social behavior, impaired language, and stereotypic behavior/restricted interests (Pine, Luby, Abbacchi, & Constantino, 2006). One in 68 children is affected by ASD (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2014). The prevalence of ASD is rapidly increasing. New estimates show a 23% increase in the number of cases since 2009 and a 78% increase in case numbers since 2007 (CDC, 2013). The purposes of this project were to: (a) establish normative parameters of reciprocal social behaviors, among toddlers aged 18 to …
Validation Of The Transportation Burden Questionnaire Among Family Caregivers Of Older Adults, Bryant James Price
Validation Of The Transportation Burden Questionnaire Among Family Caregivers Of Older Adults, Bryant James Price
Dissertations
Because family caregivers provide a substantial amount of informal care to dependent loved ones, the potential burden such care may place on family members is an important area for clinical research and intervention. While the provision of transportation is recognized in the literature as a caregiving task and a component of global burden, few studies, to date, have addressed this as a distinct concern for measurement and intervention. The purpose of this study was to determine if an item set focused specifically on transportation burden would be additive to accepted global measures of burden in a volunteer sample of caregivers. …
A Sleep Apnea Program For Commercial Drivers, Gayla Ann Dace
A Sleep Apnea Program For Commercial Drivers, Gayla Ann Dace
Dissertations
Sleepy driving is a major contributing factor to the motor vehicle crash risk associated with commercial drivers (Pack et al., 2006). In commercial vehicles, approximately 31% to 41% of major crashes can be linked to sleepy driving (Gurubhagavatula et al., 2004). An average non-fatality crash involving a commercial motor vehicle costs about $75,637 while a fatality crash averages about $3.54 million (Gurubhagavatula et al., 2004). A contributing factor to sleepy driving is obstructive sleep apnea (Pack et al., 2006). The purposes of this study were to: (1) determine how many commercial motor vehicle drivers referred to a sleep center as …
