Exploring the Intersection Between Improvisation in Dance and Music: A Site-Specific Piece
Get PDFDuring the era spanning from the late 1960s to the 1970s, a societal shift unfolded across the United States as individuals broke free from conventional norms and discovered communities where they would belong. This period witnessed the emergence of the “Hippie Movement,” a cultural phenomenon that captivated the nation and paved the way for the establishment of diverse subcultures where individuals could explore their identities and values. This research project delves into two such subcultures: the Grateful Dead and movement improvisation. The Grateful Dead created profound music and fostered an environment where spontaneity, creativity, and community thrived. This process is akin to movement improvisation, where individuals engage in genuine movement via instinctual impulses or prompted movement exercises. By examining the intersection between the Grateful Dead and movement improvisation through historical approaches, cultural studies, and embodied research, this project sheds light on the relationship between music, movement, and collective identity formation.Arts Undergraduate Research Scholarhsip (AURS)No embargoAcademic Major: Danc
Choosing Lifestyle Changes for Promoting Cardiovascular Risk Reduction in a Church Setting
No full textBackground: According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention hypertension (HTN) affects approximately 55% of African Americans. The frequency of uncontrolled hypertension is 27.4% in Black communities compared to 17% in White communities. Purpose: This initiative's purpose was to provide a 6-week Biblically enhanced With Every Heartbeat is Life (WEHL) program in a church setting. The program emphasized self-care management, lifestyle change, and health education to lower blood pressure readings. Method: The Faith Community Nursing (FCN) Model and WEHL structured program guided its implementation. FCN emphasizes concepts of lifestyle change, patient education, and spiritual support. The WEHL program aligns biblical scripture with each weekly lesson promoting lifestyle change or health education. Outcome: Outcomes revealed a decline of 13 millimeters of mercury in the group’s systolic blood pressure measurement. There was a decline of 10 millimeters of mercury in the group’s diastolic blood pressure measurement. Conclusion: The FCN model along with a structured program emphasizing self-care, disease management, lifestyle change, health promotion, and education positively influences outcomes. The church is an ideal setting for health programs targeting the African American/black community. Nursing Implications: A primary focus of nursing is health promotion and education. Nurses are well positioned to embrace the concepts of community-based care that emphasizes lifestyle changes as a standard treatment modality for hypertension.

Which one is a balide? The Effects of Prosody and Animacy on Novel Noun Learning with Children
Get PDFProsody is how words are spoken, affecting how messages are conveyed. When prosody is relevant to the meaning, this enhances word learning (e.g., sad prosody with broken toy; Berman et al., 2013). However, it is unknown if children attend to prosody that is irrelevant to the word learning task. Previous research with adults demonstrated across simple/complex and animate/inanimate referents, some irrelevant prosodies decreased word learning, demonstrating adults’ inability to ignore this irrelevant information (Jungers et al., in press; West et al., 2022). The current research examined this effect of irrelevant prosody on children’s novel noun learning. In this study, preschool children (n = 67) were trained on novel labels paired to novel referents (Aliens, Objects, Faces; between-participant) across five prosodic categories (Happy, Fear, Doubt, Name, Warn; within-participant) counterbalanced across participants. Test trials instructed participants to point to the correct referent to measure word learning accuracy. This train-test sequence occurred twice. Then, a Generalization Block determined if children could extend labels to similar items. Results showed that Aliens were learned less accurately than Objects and Faces, while Objects and Faces were learned similarly across the study. Prosody only affected the Object labels, with Happy and Fear prosodies being more accurate than Name. Prosody did not affect learning labels for Aliens or Faces. Results suggest that referent complexity, animacy status, and irrelevant prosody affect children’s noun learning, but in a different way than it affects adults.No embargoAcademic Major: Psycholog

The Use of Virtual Care Model to Improve Nurse Workflow Efficiency and Outcomes
No full textBackground: Using a virtual care model in a Pediatric Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (CICU) helps to promote clinical decision-making and support of nurses. A change to the current nursing care model is imperative to mitigate the demand faced by healthcare due to patient acuity, increased nurse turnover and experienced Registered Nurses (RN) leaving the profession because of burnout.
Problem: The nursing workforce projects a shortage of full-time RNs at approximately 78,610 by 2025 and 63,720 by 2030. Staffing issues and gaps in experience level affect the provision of patient care. The lack of awareness of the Tele Critical Care (TCC) nurse’s role and workflow in the CICU affects utilization to promote best nursing practice, efficiency, and patient outcomes.
Method: An Evidence-based Quality Improvement (EBQI) initiative was implemented in a 26-bed CICU to evaluate the TCC nurses’ role, increase awareness, and obtain nurses’ perceptions of the TCC nurse.
Intervention: The Fuld sustainability and implementation toolkit (Helene Fuld Health Trust National Institute for Evidence-Based Practice in Nursing and Healthcare, 2020) was used to evaluate the prior implementation plan of the TCC nurses’ workflow. The Iowa model was used to guide the re-implementation process for this project. An informational presentation was provided to new graduate nurses to increase awareness and gain their perspective on the TCC nurses’ role using a pre-and post-survey questionnaire.
Conclusion: The use of ongoing education with standardized communication and workflow may increase bedside nurses’ awareness and receptiveness to the TCC nurses’ role in the CICU.A three-year embargo was granted for this item
Gastric Ultrasound Education for Nurse Anesthetists
No full textBackground: Student nurse anesthetists (SRNAs) are now required to track clinical hours spent engaging in point of care ultrasound (POCUS) clinical experiences. Additionally, the absence of POCUS utilization can negatively impact patient outcomes. Gastric ultrasound (GUS) is a POCUS exam, and provides an objective method to assess for adequate gastric emptying prior to anesthesia administration. Purpose: The purpose of this evidence-based quality improvement project was to implement an educational program for nurse anesthetists (CRNAs) on GUS following the I-AIM model. Upon completion of this education program, CRNAs would demonstrate an increase in knowledge regarding GUS. Methods: This doctor of nursing practice (DNP) project took place at the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center (OSUWMC) within the anesthesia department. Anesthesia advanced practice providers (AAPPs) were recruited to participate in education on GUS. Guided by the I-AIM model, a blended curriculum of didactic and hands-on education was provided. Knowledge was tested using the Gastric ultrasound knowledge assessment tool, which was distributed prior to GUS education, and after completion of education. Results: Thirty-one AAPPs completed the pretest survey, 20 participants attended the didactic session in-person, and additional AAPPs participated remotely. Twenty AAPPs participated in the hands-on education session, and 10 completed the posttest survey. The educational program demonstrated a 28.47% increase in knowledge regarding GUS. Conclusion: The implemented curriculum was shown to increase AAPPs knowledge regarding GUS. This program could be used to further establish competency protocols for GUS, as well as serve as a blueprint for future POCUS education.A five-year embargo was granted for this item
