An analysis of undergraduate student satisfaction, retention, and graduation by instructional modality and racial/ethnic groups
Get PDFThis study investigated whether instructional modality in an undergraduate degree program, either traditional on-campus or asynchronous online, and racial/ethnic group could predict students’ reports of satisfaction with the institution, retention year-over-year, and graduation within an eight-year award rate. Data from surveys and enrollment status were collected on undergraduate students enrolled in a bachelor’s degree program by instructional modality over a timespan of eight academic years at a single institution. The researcher analyzed categorical predictor variables of instructional modality and racial/ethnic groups with the dichotomous outcome variables of low or high satisfaction, did not or did retain, and did not or did graduate through six research questions and multiple binomial logistic regression tests. This study identified statistically significant results by instructional modality for students’ reports of satisfaction with the institution (i.e., online students were more likely to report high satisfaction), retention year-over-year (i.e., on-campus students were more likely to retain), and graduation rate (on-campus students were more likely to graduate). It further identified statistically significant results by instructional modality and racial/ethnic groups for students’ reports of satisfaction with the institution (i.e., on-campus White students were more likely to report high satisfaction than other on-campus racial/ethnic groups and online Black or African American students were more likely to report high satisfaction than other online racial/ethnic groups), retention year-over-year (i.e., on-campus White students were more likely to retain than other on-campus racial/ethnic groups and online White students were more likely to retain than other online racial/ethnic groups), and graduation rate (i.e., on-campus White students were more likely to graduate than other on-campus racial/ethnic groups and online White students were more likely to graduate than other online racial/ethnic groups)

Get PDFIntroduction: The introduction of THC into the medical field has allowed medical professionals to offer a new treatment option to aid in their patients treatment plan by decreasing their symptoms of side effects of other medications used for their conditions.
Methodology: This study utilized a literature review. Five databases were used to collect 116 total sources. These sources were reviewed and reduced to 33 sources that were used in the written research. Of these, 16 sources were used in the results section.
Purpose of the Study: The purpose of this research was to analyze the prescription use of THC in patients with chronic pain conditions, such as neurological disorders, to determine if THC has a positive impact for patients. Despite the ethical barriers that are present regarding the use of THC, researchers and healthcare professionals are using THC as part of treatment plans for patients with neurological disorders to ease pain and symptoms from the disorder and side effects of medications.
Results: The research showed that with the correct dosage of THC prescribed by medical professionals, patients have reported decreased pain levels and decreased signs and symptoms, despite taking their other medications.
Discussion/Conclusion: Patients with various medical conditions associated with chronic pain, such as neurological disorders, can receive benefits through THC that is prescribed from a doctor. The findings of this research showed that patients with neurological disorders can have decreased side effects from their other medications, as well as decreased pain levels in their day to day life
Effects of burnout amongst primary care providers
Get PDFINTRODUCTION: Physician burnout within the United States has been deemed an epidemic within the healthcare system with nearly 63% of physicians reporting burnout. The rate of burnout amongst Primary Care Providers (PCPs) is higher than other provider types at 70%. The presence of burnout affects the likelihood of medical errors, provider retention, and patient-provider communication. Fifty-six percent of PCPs that reported burnout also associated this burnout with their reason for leaving the practice. Physicians that are burnt out are less likely to find nonadherence in their patients, more likely to refer to specialists, and more likely to prescribe medications unnecessary.
PURPOSE OF STUDY: The purpose of this research was to analyze the effects of burnout amongst primary care providers and its impact on medical errors, provider retention, and patient-provider communication.
METHODOLOGY: The methodology for this qualitative study was a literature review as well as a semi-structured interview with an expert in managing primary care providers.
RESULTS: A 5% increase in the odds of a medical error was found if there was just a one-point increase in emotional exhaustion, which is one of the three aspects of burnout, among physicians. Primary Care Providers that reported burnout left the clinical medicine field at a higher rate than providers that did not report burnout. A survey was conducted of 6,695 United States physicians on if they were experiencing burnout, fatigue, or suicidal thoughts; of those participants, 10.5% reported making a major medical error, such as a mistaken diagnosis, technical error, or an error in judgment in the past three months
