Role Of Clinical Distrust In Black Americans’ Lack Of Participance In Research Studies: An Integrated Literature Review, Imani N. Gordon

Grace Peterson Nursing Research Colloquium

Role of Clinical Distrust in Black Americans’ Lack of Participance in Research Studies:

An Integrated Literature Review

Imani Gordon

Faculty Sponsor: Elizabeth P. Anderson RN, PhD

Background: Black Americans face health disparities in the U.S. that cannot be strategically addressed without conducting research studies to understand health deficits within the population. However, this racial group also has remarkably low participance in clinical trials. Therefore, researchers must first understand cultural factors that lead to unwillingness to participate.

Objectives: To explore the extent to which clinical distrust competes with other factors in the lack of Black American participation in clinical …

Quantifying Physical And Psychological Outcomes After Periprosthetic Femoral Fracture In Older Adults, Rifat Islam, Brent Lanting, Susan Hunter, Somerville Lyndsay

Western Research Forum

Background: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are common and effective treatments for osteoarthritis. Falls risk is increased after these surgeries due to age, proprioceptive changes and leg weakness. One devastating consequence of falling after these surgeries, both functionally and psychologically, is a peri-prosthetic femoral fracture (PFF). Existing research on PFF has focused on surgical management and not the functional or psychological impacts to the person after this injury.

Hypothesis/Objectives: The study objectives are: 1) To evaluate the subjective and objective functional and psychological outcomes after sustaining a PFF, and 2) to estimate the prevalence of falls …

Changes In The Left Atrial-Esophageal Relationship With The Insertion Of An Esophageal Protective Device: A Cadaveric Imaging Study, Akmal Shahzad, Charys M. Martin, Michele L. Barbeau

Western Research Forum

Background: Atrial fibrillation is the most common cardiac rhythm disorder in North America and is frequently treated by a minimally invasive procedure called catheter ablation. A rare, but often fatal complication of this procedure is development of an atrial-esophageal fistula (AEF) due to the proximity of the esophagus to the left atrium (LA) of the heart. Esophageal protective devices may potentially mitigate the risk of developing an AEF but their impact on the relationship between the esophagus and LA is unknown. This study will investigate the relevant anatomical changes that occur upon insertion of an esophageal protective device.

Methods: 13 …

Executive Functioning Deficits Following Right Hemisphere Brain Damage: A Systematic Review, Ghalia Albakri

Western Research Forum

Background:

A growing body of literature has indicated that various executive functioning (EF) abilities are compromised subsequent to right hemisphere brain damage (RHD). EF supports communication and other complex daily activities via planning, monitoring, and controlling other cognitive processes to accomplish goal-oriented behaviors. Individuals with intact EF can achieve desirable tasks through fine cognitive control. The ability to use and understand pragmatics and discourse is dependent on one or more of these EF abilities. Consequently, if one of these cognitive abilities is impaired, communication challenges are expected.

Hypotheses/Objectives:

The goals of this systematic review are to: (a) examine the RHD …
