A Poke And Prod Into The Attitudes Of College-Aged Students Towards The COVID-19 Vaccine
No full textThis research investigates the attitudes of college-aged students towards the COVID-19 vaccine. The prediction is that vaccine hesitancy towards the COVID-19 vaccines that exists in the college-aged population is due to misinformation, distrust in vaccines, and being uninformed.

Patients, Providers And Perceptions: Achieving Quality Of Care When Goals Are Not Aligned
No full textDespite asthma remaining one of the most common chronic pediatric conditions, patients are still constantly hospitalized due to poor self-management. Patient-centered care requires professionals to understand what barriers need to be modified in order to promote controlled asthma during healthy childhood/adolescent development. This literature review consists of seven key articles from CINAHL and PubMed with common themes identified: (1) nurses can help incorporate asthma care techniques that enhance healthy childhood and adolescent development (2) nurses can help identify family roles to start establishing patient resilience in childhood and (3) patients who have an interdependent relationship with providers have increased medical treatment adherence. These themes highlight the need for healthcare workers to ensure that patient-centered care is the core of patients self-managing their asthma. At the same time, natural family roles are respected, and patients can care for themselves with little distractions from having a healthy childhood. In return, this will help improve the quality of self-care and decrease hospital readmissions in asthmatic pediatric patients.School of Nursin

In Search Of My Identity: A Multi-Cultural Upbringing
Get PDFThe documentary film I created as part of my Honors Thesis project examines the identity struggle I experienced with growing up in both Germany and the Unity States. In addition to video segments of an autobiography nature, the almost 14-minute film includes interviews with four other college-age women from multi-cultural backgrounds who discuss their views on their identity journeys. Themes such as the feeling of belonging, language barriers, living between two cultures, and fitting in with peers are also addressed. Each of the women who shared their stories in the film has a different country of origin, namely the Dominican Republic, France, Ghana, and Mexico. Concluding the documentary, I reflect on what I have learned from listening to their perspectives. The paper I wrote as an accompaniment to my documentary explores the process of creating the film.
