Postpartum women and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs)
No full textPostpartum depression (PPD) is a common disorder that happens after a woman has given girth. The ramifications of PPD can have short or long-term effects on the mother, child, and the family as a whole (Brown et al., 2021). Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) use in postpartum women has been controversial for many years due to the potential effects to the infant through lactation. There has been an increase of 2.3% of SSRI use in the postpartum phase in the last 20 years (Molenaar et al., 2019).Research presentationFaculty Mentor: Dr. Kathy Andrese

Investigation on influence factors of high impact practices
No full textThe purpose of the study is to examine the impact factors of 11 high impact practices (HIPs) of the Association of American Colleges and Universities to identify their influences on the learning experience of college students. A research model is developed based on the theory of planned behaviour to link beliefs of high impacts to the practice of learning behaviours. Structure equation modelling analysis was conducted on the performance metrics of 11 American universities from 2014-2021. Findings indicate that undergraduate research can predict the success of other high-impact practices in Florida. The results will guide administrators in higher education to make financial decisions with a reference to factors of high impact practices. Theoretical and practical implications are also presented.Journal ArticlePublishe

Disparities in demographics and outcomes based on trauma center ownership
No full textIntroduction: Ownership may influence trauma center (TC) location. For-profit (FP) TCs require a favorable payor mix to thrive, whereas not-for-profit (NFP) centers may rely on government funding, grants, and patient volume. We hypothesized that the demographics of trauma patients would be different for NFP and FP TCs due to ownership type. We also hypothesized that these demographic differences might be associated with outcomes such as length of stay, reported complications, and mortality.
Methods: We used the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) 2016-2017 inpatient dataset to examine differences in outcomes by trauma center ownership type. Negative binomial and logistical regression was used to compare trauma ownership, length of stay (LOS), reported complications, and mortality of severely injured nonelderly adult trauma patients.
Results: Our study analyzed risk factors and outcomes for 10,700 trauma alert patients. Patients treated at FP TCs were less likely to be Black (OR 0.70, 95% CI: 0.62-0.78), to be uninsured (OR 0.40, 95% CI 0.36-0.45), have Medicare (OR 0.53, 95% CI 0.43-0.66), or Medicaid (OR 0.57, 95% CI 0.50-0.65) (all P < 0.001). Patients treated at FP centers were less likely to have comorbidities (OR 0.89, 95% CI 0.82-0.96) and were associated with a longer LOS (0.10, 95% 0.05-0.15, P < 0.001) in nonelderly adult trauma patients. FP TCs were associated with fewer reported complications (OR 0.83, 95% CI 0.74-0.94) and were associated with a higher likelihood of mortality in nonelderly adults (OR 1.70, 95% CI 1.35-2.12, P < 0.001).
Conclusions: Among this cohort of severe International Classification of Diseases-based injury severity score (ICISS) patients, complications were less likely, but LOS and mortality were increased among FP TC patients. FP centers cared for fewer patients who were Black, uninsured, or who were Medicare/Medicaid/noncommercial insurance.Journal Articl
Physical activity and its effect on mental health in incarcerated individuals
No full text"Serious mental illnesses have became very prevalent in jails and prisons. About 20% of jail inmates and 15% of prison inmates are estimated to have a serious mental illness. It has been discovered that the mentally ill tend to remain in jail or prison longer than inmates with no serious mental illness. It has also been found that it costs more money to detain and house the mentally ill as they need psychiatric medications. The mentally ill in jails and prisons are more likely to commit suicide and develop behavioral problems due to being in isolation (Treatment Advocacy Center, 2016)."Research presentationFaculty Mentor: Dr. Kathy Andrese
