People of all ages deserve care for the disease of obesity. Pediatric obesity affects one in three children in the United States, and the number of obese children has tripled since the 1970s (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 2018a). High blood pressure, high cholesterol, type 2 diabetes, and sleep apnea are complications that pediatric patients now face, and these diseases are well known to worsen quality of, and potentially shorten life. This scholarly project addresses the question: How can family nurse practitioners effectively address pediatric obesity in the primary care setting?

Monitoring Patient And Caregiver Adherence To Treatment In Management Of Vascular Ulcers, Angela N. Ikeri
Monitoring Patient And Caregiver Adherence To Treatment In Management Of Vascular Ulcers, Angela N. Ikeri
Theses and Graduate Projects
Chronic diseases have increased the incidence of vascular ulcer development. These ulcers require long-term wound management and other interventions from different health care specialists to achieve healing and decrease further complications. Following acute hospital and clinic vascular ulcer care interventions, patients are discharged home or to other facilities in the communities with vascular ulcer care instructions. Often, these patients come back to the vascular clinic or get readmitted into the hospital with deterioration of their wounds. This project used questionnaires to determine what barriers vascular ulcer patients and their caregivers have in the management of these wounds in the community. …

Creation Of Care Coordination Team, Linda Peterson
Creation Of Care Coordination Team, Linda Peterson
Theses and Graduate Projects
Healthcare in the United States is fragmented and costly. Care coordination positively impacts healthcare cost and quality in healthcare systems. Case managers, social workers, and community health workers create health care teams in a health care home model. A team approach, formed by relationships built from collaboration, communication, and application of Complexity Theory, produces these outcomes. Relational coordination based on shared goals, shared knowledge, and mutual respect creates the framework from which to establish a team. Watson's Caring Science theory provides the conceptual framework to support the connectedness that occurs within a team approach. Creating a collaborative team of case …
Support Of The Informal Kinship Care Family, Emily J. Hansen
Support Of The Informal Kinship Care Family, Emily J. Hansen
Theses and Graduate Projects
Most children cannot imagine living without their parents; for some though, because of social instability, substance abuse, or parental neglect, life apart from their parents is the reality. When these children are cared for by a relative or a close family friend without the involvement of a child welfare agency, the family that is created is known as an informal kinship care family. Because of the fluid nature of these families, little is known about them, leaving this group disadvantaged and neglected by the health care community. After a review of the existing literature, observation of informal kinship care families, …
