This project used the Stetler model of research utilization framework to apply evidence-based findings to clinical settings screening adults with type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and low incomes for food insecurity. The project involved the review and critical appraisal of research studies and translation of research-based knowledge into a protocol for the Peach Tree Clinic with respect to the impact of food insecurity on diabetes outcomes in adults with T2DM and low incomes who were at risk of food insecurity. In addition, the proportion of screened at-risk patients who received nutritional counseling was calculated. The proportion of patients with T2DM …

Often resulting from inconsistent contraceptive use, unintended pregnancy among young women between ages 18-24 continues to be an issue in the United States. Long-acting reversible contraceptives, including intrauterine contraceptives and the subdermal contraceptive implant, are safe, effective, long-acting, easily reversible, and non-user dependent contraceptive methods, yet currently are greatly underutilized. Most of the contraceptive methods are provided at our student health services except for the highly effective long-acting reversible contraceptive methods. As family nurse practitioners and health care providers, it is essential to integrate this service into primary care-focused college student health clinics by providing evidence-based information to clinical providers …

Overcoming Barriers To Screening For Anal Intraepithelial Neoplasia For Persons Living With Hiv, Brandon Hastings
Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) Projects

Currently there are no nationally recognized screening guidelines for anal intraepithelial neoplasia (AIN). Screening for AIN stands to reduce overall incidence of anal squamous cell carcinoma through destruction of the dysplastic cells before they become cancerous. The goals of this project were to identify the patient population that stands to benefit the …
