Abstract:

Hypertension is a serious health problem in the United States. Clinical nurses may serve as facilitators in the screening, diagnosis, and treatment of hypertension. The purpose of this project was to evaluate the effectiveness of an education program on hypertension screening guidelines for nurses working in an outpatient psychiatric clinic. The project was supported by the health promotion model. The project used a pre- and post survey designed by the DNP student to collect data on nurses' knowledge, attitudes, and willingness to screen psychiatric patients for hypertension.

Uncontrolled pain has proven effects on both physiological and psychological responses of hospitalized patients. These incapacitating sequelae most often negatively impact patient outcomes resulting in unnecessary suffering and prolong hospitalizations.

Guided by Bandura's social learning theory and Lippitt's change theory, the purpose of this quality improvement project was to

Abstract:

Sexual health affects many aspects of patient health; however, it is often not addressed with patients, and research shows that sexual health is not emphasized in medical education. Primary care providers ought to be on the front lines of the integration of sexual health into patient centered care. In rural areas, this responsibility often falls to family medicine physicians as patients do not have access to Ob/Gyns (obstetrician and gynecologist). The objective of this study was to assess the types and prevalence of sexual health concerns among patients in rural Appalachia and also to assess

Abstract:

Dysphagia, or swallowing impairment, is a growing problem that affects 13.5% of the general population. The ability to swallow is essential for patients taking oral medicines, so this presents a challenge for swallowing-impaired (SI) patients as tablets and capsules will usually require modification prior to ingestion. Pharmacists should play a central role in advising SI patients about their medicine use, as well as problems that may impact on safety, adherence and therapeutic outcome. However, little is known about pharmacists’ level of knowledge, their practice and their information needs w

Magister Scientiae Dentium - MSc(Dent)<br>Background: Oral cancer is a major global healthcare problem. Its prevalence is increasing, and late-stage presentation is common. More than 500,000 patients are estimated to have oral cancer worldwide. Oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) accounts for 90-94% of oral cancers. Survival rates for oral cancer are very poor, at around 50% and has not improved considerably in the previous decades even with advances in therapeutic interventions. Screening programs have been introduced for a number of major cancers and have demonstrated a compellin

Abstract:

Colorectal cancer is one of the most common forms of malignancy with 35,000 new patients diagnosed annually within the UK. Survival figures show that outcomes are less favourable within the UK when compared with the USA and Europe with 1 in 4 patients having incurable disease at presentation as of data from 2000. Epidemiologists have demonstrated that the incidence of colorectal cancer is highest on the industrialised western world with numerous contributory factors. These range from a genetic component to concurrent medical conditions and personal lifestyle. In addition, data also demonstrate

Objective: The purpose of this project is to explore the depth of HF self-care management knowledge of home care NPs that will help improve patient HF management in New Mexico. Methods: A quantitative descriptive study design was used. Home care NPs (n=6) were recruited from the New Mexico Nurse Practitioner Council to participate in a 22-item survey on HF self-care management topics administered to participants via email. Results: Home care NPs' scores demonstrated at 74% knowledge base in overall heart failure self-care management education topics. NPs scored the lowest (0% answered correctl

Abstract:

This study involved designing an instrument to estimate self care knowledge levels of post myocardial infarction patients. The instrument subscales were diet, smoking, exercise, signs and symptoms of cardiac distress, medications, stress and high blood pressure. Twenty-six subjects were tested following hospital discharge and again two weeks later. Test-retest reliability was performed to establish stability of the instrument. The preset criterion level of.70 for the total scale was not met. The medication subscale did meet the.70 criterion level. Reliability estimates were conducted to establ
