Barriers To Relational Continuity Of Care For Undergraduate College Students In Southeastern South Dakota, Laura E. Nelson

Honors Thesis

In health care, the patient’s relationship with his or her provider serves as a foundation upon which health care decisions are guided and health outcomes are addressed. Relational continuity of care refers to the presence of a sustained (long-term) relationship between a primary care provider (PCP) and a patient. Such continuity of care has been linked with improved health outcomes, reduced mortality, lower health care costs, increased patient satisfaction, and increased delivery of preventative services. Relational continuity of care tends to be low amongst young adults, especially college students. The reasons for this – and the salient barriers to relational …

Design And Implementation Of A Nursing Peer Review Program In A Two-Hospital Setting, Joan L. Goss Ms, Rn, Acns-Bc

Doctor of Nursing Practice Projects

Background and Purpose: The Institute of Medicine’s (IOM) landmark publication To Err Is Human: Building a Safer Healthcare System measured the impact of medical error on the American public in both unnecessary human suffering and unsustainable financial cost to the US healthcare system. Nursing literature suggests that peer review of safety events can help mitigate the impact of medical errors by increasing nurse accountability for practice and empowerment for leading change.

Methods: Fourteen volunteers were selected from over 900 direct care nurses to participate in a four-month Nursing Peer Review Program (NPRP) pilot. Structure, process, and outcome measures of implementation, …

Effectiveness Of Community-Based Hemorrhage Control Education, Kristin Conti Dnp, Aprn, Fnp-C, Rn, Ccrn

Doctor of Nursing Practice Projects

Background: Rural residents are 14% more likely to die from an injury than their urban counterparts due to untimely and ineffective prehospital treatment, inequitable access to the most comprehensive trauma centers, and a lack of injury prevention programs. Although bystanders with bleeding control (BCon) knowledge and skills are vital to injury survival, only 0.5% of Idahoans have completed STOP THE BLEED®.

Purpose: Implement an evidence-based BCon course on how to identify and control life-threatening bleeding with pressure, packing, and tourniquets to increase willingness, confidence, and BCon knowledge, while decreasing concerns.

Methods: A pre-post same subject design was used. Participants were …

Heart Failure Management In A Skilled Nursing Facility, Leigh T. Simpkins

Doctor of Nursing Practice Projects

Background: Reducing heart failure hospital readmissions remains a priority for health systems and is a marker of quality for the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Heart Failure is the most common cause of U.S. hospital admissions and an effective management program in the nursing home setting is crucial for quality and outcomes.

Purpose: The purpose of this project was to implement and evaluate a Nurse Practitioner/Physician supported heart failure management program in a skilled nursing facility that is able to be incorporated into facility staff workflow, enhances nursing staff knowledge of heart failure, improves identification of patients with …

Pvn Activity In Cardiac Sympathetic Afferent Reflex (Csar) Control And Cardiovascular Function, Shane H. Boomer

Honors Thesis

Regulation of blood pressure is essential in bodily health. Hypertension and hypotension can be associated with varying diseases that could potentiate further disease. From this, understanding the mechanisms that regulate blood pressure is important within medicine. In my study, I will be focusing on a cardiovascular reflex that is less well understood, the cardiac sympathetic afferent reflex (CSAR). In particular, this work will examine sex differences in this reflex in overall function and in the involvement of an area of the brain called the paraventricular nucleus (PVN). We will test the hypothesis that there will be a significant difference between …

Mechanisms Of Synthetic Cannabinoids On Cardiovascular Health, Madeleine A. Nelson

Honors Thesis

Cannabinoids encompass natural cannabis and synthetic cannabinoids. While the synthetic cannabinoids interact with the same endogenous system as cannabis, their effects are quite different and poorly understood. In addition to psychological effects that trigger their use, these substances are linked to cardiovascular morbidity. To assess the cardiovascular effect of synthetic cannabinoids, we first tested the hypothesis that intravenous administration of a synthetic cannabinoid would increase blood pressure in conscious rats. Second, we tested the hypothesis that the sympathetic nervous system is involved by injecting a ganglion blocker to see if the cardiovascular response from synthetic cannabinoids would be blocked. Third, …
