Making a Musical: Reflecting on Failure and FlexibilityAnd an Amateur Guide to Music Copyright
Get PDFAs an actor, creative, and writer, I’ve always been fascinated by shows that explore the “behind-the-scenes” of a real life. In particular, I am intrigued by stories which feature an iconic individual only to peel away the layers of their life, ultimately revealing them as human: flawed, beautiful, and far more accessible. This was further evidenced for me as an audience member for shows such as Beautiful: The Carole King Musical, Barnum, Chasing Rainbows: The Road to Oz, and reading about shows such as The Cher Show and Always, Patsy Cline. When tasked with creating an hour-long show for my senior theatre project, I chose to center my storyline around one of my childhood heroes: Julie Andrews. Over the course of many months and thanks to the help of my very talented peers, Where the Apple Falls: A Julie Andrews Story made its debut at the Poorman Blackbox on November 20th, 2020. I am very grateful that despite the numerous challenges of 2020, my project could be performed safely with masks and a small audience, and could even be live streamed to the Messiah University Community. The following document details all that transpired after this show, touching briefly on how the script was conceived and brought to fruition, but focusing on my efforts during the Spring of 2021 while completing my senior honors project. The honors project, which culminates in the writing and presentation of this paper, is directly adjacent to Where the Apple Falls. The established goal for my honors project was to pursue the rights of the music and contents of my script in hopes of eventually publishing and even licensing it. Nothing went to plan, but I learned far more than I ever expected, even more so because of the many pitfalls I experienced along the way. My sincere hope is that my lessons learned are a foundation for future projects and similar endeavors at Messiah University

PTSD Perceptions in U.S. Military Members and Their Families: A Qualitative Study
Get PDFPost-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a chronic and debilitating disorder characterized by hypervigilance and recurrent, intrusive memories of the traumatic event. Estimates for lifetime prevalence of PTSD diagnoses for United States military personnel vary widely from 10% to more than 30%. The current study aimed to investigate the attitudes and beliefs regarding PTSD and its diagnosis and treatment within U.S. military service members and their families. An online survey was administered to current and former members of the U.S. military and members of their immediate families. The results revealed low levels of mental health stigma and positive attitudes toward treatment for PTSD. However, survey respondents also communicated a belief that the current health care system does not adequately meet the mental health needs of the U.S. military. A clear understanding of the specific attitudes and thought processes surrounding PTSD and its diagnosis may aid mental health professionals in effectively communicating with those in need of their services
Predictors of student veterans progression and graduation in Veteran to Bachelor of Science in Nursing (VBSN) Programs: A multisite study
No full textBackground Capitalizing on the veteran\u27s extensive service experience, values, and norms, Health Resources Services Administration (HRSA) proposed Nurse Education, Practice, Quality and Retention – Veterans\u27 Bachelor of Science (VBSN) Program grants (2016–2019). Purpose The purpose was to identify predictors of student veterans\u27 (SV) progression and graduation rates in VBSN programs. Methods A descriptive correlational retrospective design was used. Two hundred and eighty-two (282) SV records were examined. Results One hundred and forty (140) SVs graduated (49.6%) and 107 (37.9%) were still enrolled. Only program delivery mode (hybrid) was significantly associated with completion and confirmed by logistic regression modeling. An increased representation of SVs\u27 gender, race/ethnicity was present; however, gender, age, race, ethnicity, and veteran status did not significantly predict progression nor graduation. Conclusions Hybrid program delivery became the single predictor influencing VBSN progression and graduation. As non-traditional students in higher education with a history of social isolation and help-seeking stigma, this delivery mode may have assisted SV retention and persistence. With a registered nurse shortage and workforce calls for increased gender, race, and ethnic diversity, the findings suggest nursing education programs designed for veterans are a viable solution
Adult Attachment, Attachment to God, and Willingness to Forgive: A Covariate Study
No full textAdult attachment typically develops in accordance with childhood attachment style, and may be anxious, avoidant, or secure. Likewise, religious individuals attach to God in the same three ways. Existing theories suggest that attachment to God may be in correspondence to one’s interpersonal attachment style (Beck & McDonald, 2004; Exline et al., 2013; Kimball et al., 2013; Sandage et al., 2015) or compensatory for something missing in interpersonal attachment relationships (Granqvist, 1998; Kirkpatrick, 1997, 1998). Forgiveness is a multifaceted construct, encompassing both decisional and emotional processes, as described in the 2012 model by Worthington et al. Existing research shows connections between pairs of these variables, but the current study sought a relationship between all three. Specifically, it was hypothesized that securely attached individuals would be significantly more likely to forgive, with attachment to God as a moderating factor, and that the inverse would be true of anxious or avoidant interpersonal attachment. A series of five electronic surveys was administered to participants from a small Christian university in Pennsylvania (N = 91), and the results were analyzed using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). None of the results were statistically significant, indicating biases in the sample as well as less connection between the three constructs than was originally proposed. It appears that choosing not to forgive, even among a Christian population, is prevalent. When the choice to forgive is made, it may be out of a universal understanding that forgiveness is appropriate prosocial behavior, rather than a function of attachment. Finally, the results of this study appear to support the dual model of God attachment, although more data are needed to confirm
