Setting the Stage for Success: Readiness and Connectedness as Antecedents of Learning Continuance Intention in Online Learning
Full text linkThrough a hierarchical multiple regression analysis, this study investigated how dimensions of online learning readiness and online connectedness influence students’ intentions to continue to take online courses. Data from 369 students who took at least one online course at a four-year public university showed that online learning readiness had a stronger relationship with continuance intention than online student connectedness, while online learning readiness had a significant correlation with online student connectedness. Online learning readiness and connectedness were indicators of online learning persistence. Factors such as age, computer/internet self-efficacy, self-directed learning, learner control, and facilitation influence students\u27 intention to continue with online learning. Moreover, among the five subscales of readiness, motivation had the strongest connection with continuance intention. In addition, course facilitation was positively and significantly related to the intention to continue participating in courses. The study\u27s implications and directions for future research were also explored

Legends of Harmonia: Designing Playful Pathways to Emotional Wellness
No full textView the Digital Exhibition of Legends of Harmonia
Society is more connected than ever—yet somehow, we are quietly drifting apart. The constant hum of technology surrounds us, but the simple moments that bring us together are becoming harder to hold onto. As digital interactions replace face-to-face connections, empathy becomes more challenging to show—and even harder to feel. That being said, empathy remains the foundation of emotional understanding and human connection, both vital in a world that often feels emotionally distant, where rising loneliness, heightened anxiety, and emotional disconnection have become widespread. This paper proposes a tabletop game to help parents and caretakers nurture their children’s empathy while building a closer family bond. The game, Legends of Harmonia, is rooted in Self-Determination Theory, which identifies three essential psychological needs: autonomy, competence, and relatedness. Of these, relatedness—the need to feel connected to others—is increasingly under strain. Legends of Harmonia attempts to offer a possible way forward, drawing players together through shared experiences and simple moments, fostering empathy that builds stronger communities.
Legends of Harmonia is a whimsical, collaborative, story-based game blending these theoretical insights into role-playing scenarios packed with imaginative storytelling and interactive problem-solving. It is a game where children and their parents can work together to navigate emotional dilemmas and practice responses in a safe space. The game encourages empathy by creating teachable moments for parents to help their children understand others and their emotions and grow together. Guiding future generations toward deeper human understanding, connection, and care, this research contributes to creating a more empathetic and interconnected society.https://digitalcommons.jsu.edu/etds_mfa_docs/1009/thumbnail.jp

Influenza and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: Correlating Adult Immunization with Exacerbation Reduction After Implementation of the Global Initiative for Obstructive Lung Disease Recommendations in a Rural Clinic
Full text linkBackground: Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) may experience exacerbations of the disease, leading to disease progression, decreased lung function, increased mortality, and decreased quality of life. However, one of the clinician’s best tools in preventing exacerbations may be the distribution of annual influenza immunizations.
Purpose: This project aimed to determine whether implementing an influenza vaccination protocol would increase influenza vaccination uptake and decrease COPD exacerbation rates.
Project Design: An influenza vaccination protocol was implemented over an eight-week period. During that time, data was gathered and compared to data from the previous year when a vaccination protocol was unavailable. A one-sample t-test was used to compare the pre- and post-intervention rates of exacerbations and vaccination uptake. This test determined the project\u27s statistical significance.
Results: This DNP project examined COPD exacerbation rates for 2023 and compared them to those for 2024 to determine whether an influenza vaccination protocol was effective in decreasing exacerbation rates. The data retrieved showed no statistical significance in the decrease in COPD exacerbation rates after the implementation of the protocol, nor was there any statistical significance in the reduction of exacerbation rates in COPD patients with current influenza vaccine status. Vaccination uptake increased after the implementation of the vaccination protocol.
Conclusion: Although the DNP project had mixed statistical significance, it holds clinical significance. Providers must continue to educate patients with COPD on ways to prevent future exacerbations
