Better Together? The Effects Of Shared Medical Appointments On Bmi In Obese Adults, Amanda Larson
Better Together? The Effects Of Shared Medical Appointments On Bmi In Obese Adults, Amanda Larson
Evidence-Based Practice Project Reports
The United States (U.S.) is amidst an obesity epidemic, with Indiana ranking as the 15th worst state (Institute of Medicine, 2012; United Health Foundations, 2020). Despite current management strategies, the obesity rate in both the U.S. and Indiana continues to rise (WHO, 2020). Therefore, obesity management must change. The purpose of this evidence-based practice (EBP) project was to determine if the addition of shared medical appointments (SMAs) consisting of informational group sessions by specialists and brief individualized meetings with the provider will result in greater reduction of weight and body mass index (BMI) compared to standard care alone in those …
Prenatal Dietary Education, Using The Midwifery Model, In Ireland Vs The United States, Allison Erby
Prenatal Dietary Education, Using The Midwifery Model, In Ireland Vs The United States, Allison Erby
The Eleanor Mann School of Nursing Undergraduate Honors Theses
Prenatal dietary education is a very important component of care in healthy pregnancies, but more than that, dietary education can be an indicator of the value a healthcare provider places on holistic care or preventive medicine. The United States and Ireland are compared in this study because they represent high intervention vs. low intervention approaches, respectively, to obstetric care. Healthcare professionals from the United States and Ireland perceive the most important nutrients and method of receiving those differently. Maybe the most telling contrast, healthcare professionals in Ireland perceive food as the way pregnant women should receive vital nutrients, but healthcare …

A Multi-Faceted Intervention To Improve Diagnosis And Treatment Rates Of Overweight And Obesity By Nurse Practitioners In Primary Care, Susan Disser
Evidence-Based Practice Project Reports
The United States is amid an obesity epidemic (Institute of Medicine, 2012). Indiana ranks as the tenth most overweight state. (America’s Health Rankings, 2018). Despite guidelines outlining the treatment of obesity, primary care providers seldom use these guidelines (Hayes et al., 2017). In a 2010 study, only 28.9% of obese patients received a diagnosis of obesity and less than 25% of these patients received counseling on diet, exercise, or weight loss (Bleich, Pickett-Blackely, & Cooper, 2011). The purpose of this evidence-based practice (EBP) project is to determine if a multi-faceted intervention consisting of academic detailing, reminders, audit with feedback, and …
Comparing Alternative Breast Milk Feeding Questions To U.S. Breastfeeding Surveillance Questions, Elizabeth O'Sullivan, Sheela R. Geraghty, Patricia Cassano, Kathleen M. Rasmussen
Comparing Alternative Breast Milk Feeding Questions To U.S. Breastfeeding Surveillance Questions, Elizabeth O'Sullivan, Sheela R. Geraghty, Patricia Cassano, Kathleen M. Rasmussen
Articles
Background: Most mothers in the United States express their milk, which is then bottle fed to their infants. The National Immunization Survey (NIS), used to report national breastfeeding prevalence, asks about infant breast milk consumption, regardless of whether it is consumed at the mother's breast or from a bottle. The NIS data are often erroneously interpreted, however, to mean prevalence of at-the-breast feeding. We hypothesized that over half of infants classified as breastfed at 3, 6, and 12 months by the NIS questions would also be consuming expressed breast milk.
Materials and Methods: A convenience sample of 456 …
