The Blanket Project: Building Community Through Comfort
No full textThis presentation focuses on an interprofessional collaborative service-learning project involving a team of Nursing and Social Work students from the University of New England. Teamwork, dedication, and collaboration between students and faculty enabled the creation of fifteen no-sew fleece blankets with accompanying laminated note cards that included inspirational messages as well as a list of community resources to support individuals in need. Blanket packages were delivered to Preble Street donation center, then distributed to the marginalized communities within Portland, Maine. This service-learning opportunity aimed to immerse us in the community to provide valuable support while promoting emotional, physical, and mental health.https://dune.une.edu/cecefall2022/1016/thumbnail.jp

Perceptions Of Higher Education Learners And Educators Regarding The Learner-Centered Strategy Implementation: A Qualitative Single Case Study
Get PDFThe problem in this study was the lack of an effective strategy implementation of learner-centered education in higher education institutions (Hoidn, 2017; Lee & Hannafin, 2016; Sabah & Du, 2018; Starkey, 2019; Sweetman, 2017). The purpose of this study was to investigate perceptions of higher education learners and educators on LCE strategy implementation. The study’s conceptual framework was rooted in personalized learning, and the theoretical framework employed the educational theory from Dewey (1897). Study findings included: 1. LCE is a philosophy of education that places learners and their needs at the center of the educational process. The LCE concept in this study was constituted by the concept of personalized learning. 2. LCE strategies refer to educational approaches that intend to address distinct learning needs of individual learners or groups of learners. LCE strategies in this study included, but were not limited to, active learning, authentic learning, competency-based learning, inquiry-based learning, problem-based learning, and project-based learning. 3. To effectively implement LCE strategies, educators need a process that turns LCE strategies into actions that can be used to reach the desired outcomes. The LCE strategy implementation in this study included defining practicable goals; establishing roles and responsibilities for educators and learners; carrying out strategies; tracking progress, extending support, considering feedback, and communicating challenges; performing corrective action, including adjusting or revising as necessary; and reviewing the entire strategy implementation process and reflecting on lessons learned
Downward Spiral
Get PDFThere are still moments when I find myself folding inwards: sinking, spiraling, struggling. I become attacked by my own intrusive thoughts. I’ve been my own monster all along. It took me a long time to understand that progress is never linear. And I bring that idea into my PT practice. I want my patients to understand that set backs, both mental and physical, can occur throughout the healing journey. I often tell my patients expressing anxieties and concerns to observe the way they speak to themselves. Our self talk is influenced by our subconscious mind, and it reveals our thoughts, beliefs, questions, and ideas. It can be both negative and positive. It can be encouraging and it can be distressing. The trick is to promote the positive while acknowledging and letting go of the negative
Peer Health Education
No full textThe mission of the Peer Health Education program is to promote healthy choices and lifestyles through educating and empowering the campus community on a variety of health-related topics.

LGBTQ Health: Effective Training for Interprofessional Emerging Health Professionals
No full textStudies find that cultural competency in healthcare practice with lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) patients is significantly lacking across health professions’ curricula.1 LGBTQ patients are vulnerable to uninformed care as well as to biases and discrimination that, as a consequence, may result in healthcare avoidance and/or poor outcomes.2,3 Further, lack of knowledge regarding LGBTQ health contributes to practitioner discomfort and low confidence when addressing LGBTQ needs.1 The goals of this event was to raise awareness of distinctive features of LGBTQ health needs, identify biases and mitigate potential discrimination, and increase knowledge surrounding the health needs of our patients. The event presented both didactic content and interactive discussion using multimodal virtual technology to promote interprofessional collaboration among students while gaining increased understanding of culturally competent care for LGBTQ patients.https://dune.une.edu/cecespring2022/1010/thumbnail.jp
Climate-Driven Stock Shifts And Expansions In The U.S. Northeast Shelf: Identifying Challenges, Opportunities, And Barriers Through Fishermen And Manager Perspectives
Get PDFClimate-driven warming in the U.S. Northeast Shelf (NES) has led to changes in the spatial distributions of many marine resources. Shifts and expansions of commercially important fish stocks pose major challenges to fishermen and fisheries managers in this region. American lobster (Homarus americanus) in the Gulf of Maine (GOM) is one of these impacted stocks and is projected to continue its shift towards more northern and offshore areas. Continued ocean warming could potentially reduce the GOM lobster stock by up to 60% over the next several decades. Given Maine’s reliance on its lobster fishery—which contributes over 80% of the value of Maine’s commercially harvested marine resources—building climate resilience into the fisheries social-ecological system is critical. Southern New England (SNE) serves as an example of a region that has already experienced much of the changes posed to impact the GOM. Through semi-structured interviews with SNE and GOM fishermen and a focus group of NES fisheries managers, black sea bass (Centropristis striata) was identified as a potential opportunity for fishermen to adapt to climate-driven changes. However, existing barriers—such as permitting, quota allocations, and bycatch regulations—prohibit the region’s fishermen from actualizing emerging opportunities. Results indicated that these barriers are not insurmountable and implementing “social-ecological management” approaches could provide viable pathways to facilitate opportunities and bolster climate resilience in the GOM
