Biopsychosocial Dimensions Of Chronic Pain Care
No full textPresentation describing the following: Pain management and proper care for patients with chronic pain, from a student perspective, is initially conceptualized as a concern relating to physical health and well-being. Healthcare students receive education on the importance of holistic practice and the impacts of biopsychosocial dimensions of health on wellbeing. However, when entering a situation with the anticipation to treat chronic pain our immediate concern was providing care for physical ailments. As time went on, the importance of psychological, mental health care became increasingly evident as important to help best treat our patients. In this presentation, we will be discussing our experience with the IPE Pain Clinic and the experience’s impact on our understanding of the Biopsychosocial aspects of health that all heavily influence the health and well-being of our patients both current and future.https://dune.une.edu/cecespring2021/1014/thumbnail.jp

Student Involvement in Interprofessional Work & Perceived Impact On Future Collaboration
No full textAfter experiencing the multifaceted benefits of an interdisciplinary approach to pandemic planning, our multi-disciplinary team will conduct further research on interprofessional academic programming. Through this experience, we noticed that interprofessional work has benefited our education. Specifically, we seek to understand if our experiences, which influence our proposed hypotheses, align with the broader population and indicate a trend. We hypothesize that an interprofessional approach to educating the next generation of healthcare leaders will (1) enhance the pedagogical methods of multiple healthcare disciplines, thus addressing current knowledge gaps across silos; (2) improve students’ experience; and (3) improve and impact the effectiveness of the delivery of services and patient care from providers in the future. The team stipulates that interprofessional education, referenced as an intervention, addresses interprofessional challenges, which normally hinder professional practice. Additionally, interprofessional education has the potential to enforce provider attention to healthcare outcomes such as access and inequity.https://dune.une.edu/cecefall2021/1002/thumbnail.jp

Save the Bees, They Prevent Caries
Get PDFResearch poster investigating the question: Does the use of natural product based dental products containing propolis provide a decreased risk of caries compared to dental products that are not natural product based? Propolis is a product that is created from bees that is commonly found in a wide variety of natural dental products. Propolis has many beneficial effects; antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, anticancer, and anti-inflammatory. Dental caries are prominent in children worldwide. Propolis containing products were shown to be as effective in reducing plaque-biofilm as non-natural products.https://dune.une.edu/dh_studpost/1016/thumbnail.jp
Dragons of the Anthropocene: Built on injustice…
No full textOriginal: Ink on legal pad, 8.5” x 11
Artist\u27s statement:
Contrary to popular belief, dragons exist. They are all around us but to see them we have to acknowledge our part in keeping them alive and healthy. We feed them with ignorance, lassitude, apathy. We nurture them in our refusal to believe that we too have a part of them in us. Through inaction we invite them to spread suffering, to gnaw on the bones of new prey each day. Yes—we might even watch them rampage and then turn away.
It is painful taking the role of St. George. One invites trouble and danger when they report the sighting of dragons. You might even be thought unhinged. It is dangerous to buck the systems that have been put in place for the breeding of dragons. Dragons are powerful. They are not afraid because they are the warriors for injustice, the purveyors of pain, the cultivators of chaos.
The one thing that repels dragons is truth. They can be vanquished by compassion and kindness; they recoil at generosity and love may transform the worst of them into potent allies for justice. Do we desire obliteration or salvation? It really is now or never. The dragons are howling at the ramparts of everything we hold dear. It will take the strength of many to do the work that must be done. It will require a commitment to honesty and equality, education and frugality. It will require selflessness and love.
These dragons have been plaguing me—I had hoped that they would go away, that somebody else would do the hard work, take on the very real danger but however much I struggled to ignore them they were there in every headline and everyday life, even at the movies. I began to draw them, to try and visualize their faces. I was surprised that they didn’t look like the dragons of my childhood. Dragons assume the strangest forms. I realized they depend on our love of comfort and leisure. Some even looked innocent until I peeled back the layers and realized that much of what I have is built on the backs of dragons.
Take a look around. You’ll see them too.
