    Holistic Hypertension Management
    (2023-07-24) Carmichael, Rachel Kathryn Berry; Peck, Jessica; Louise Herrington School of Nursing; Baylor University.; Baylor University. Louise Herrington School of Nursing
    Hypertension (HTN) is a major healthcare problem affecting nearly half of American’s adult population.  HTN is one of the costliest diagnoses amongst cardiovascular disease and leads to other major cardiovascular complications which increase overall morbidity and mortality.  Of those diagnosed with HTN in America, only one-fourth of patients are living with well-controlled HTN.  This evidenced-based HTN management practice innovation was conducted to explore evidenced-based, holistic nursing practice of a low sodium dietary approach to stop hypertension (DASH) diet, and exercise alongside antihypertensive medication management in decreasing systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) in adult patients diagnosed with HTN.  This community-based holistic care initiative supports data previously published which suggests a low sodium DASH diet, exercise, and antihypertensive medication management are effective in decreasing SBP and DBP.  This project supported clinicians seeking to integrate a complementary holistic and traditional approach approach to HTN management in patients diagnosed with HTN.

    Increasing HPV Vaccination Rates Using Text Reminders: An Integrative Review of the Literature
    (2023-07-24) Khuwaja, Sonya Shiraz; Peck, Jessica; Louise Herrington School of Nursing; Baylor University.; Baylor University. Louise Herrington School of Nursing
    Reminders and recalls for vaccine appointments through communication technologies such as phone calls and text messages are well-received and effective evidence-based methods to improve vaccination rates (Morris et al., 2015; Francis et al., 2017; Henrikson et al., 2018). As electronic medical records and mobile technology use is consistently rising, it is more feasible for clinical practices to implement technical reminder systems (Morris et al., 2015). The purpose of this integrative literature review is to answer the following clinical question: does a text message reminder system effectively improve HPV vaccination rates in eligible children 9 through 26 years of age who have an HPV dose due compared to having no communication technology interventions?

    Learning Experiences to Raise Nursing Awareness of Implicit Bias on Health Outcomes for Black Persons
    (2023-07-24) Anderson-Wright, Bridgett; Peck, Jessica; Louise Herrington School of Nursing; Baylor University.; Baylor University. Louise Herrington School of Nursing
    Despite efforts towards progress, Black persons continue to face disparities and inequities in access to healthcare, health outcomes, and quality of care. Nurse educators are ideally positioned and equipped to provide effective educational interventions to raise awareness of implicit bias and improve health outcomes. This concept-based learning experience was developed using an evidence-based translational framework (the Knowledge-to-Action Model). This innovative pedagogical approach used a flipped-classroom paradigm with active learner engagement and facilitated dialogue to raise awareness of implicit bias in nursing.

    Utilization of a Multimodal Approach in the Treatment of T2DM
    (2023-07-24) Zindani, Anum; Peck, Jessica; Louise Herrington School of Nursing; Baylor University.; Baylor University. Louise Herrington School of Nursing
    The purpose of this project is to implement a multimodal approach for the treatment of T2DM in a rural primary care clinic, thereby improving self-management behaviors and lowering HbA1c. The DNP project will utilize an evidence-based practice change (EBP) to address the purpose statement and promote quality of care in patients with T2DM. The EBP change incorporated six steps for effective implementation, which included assessing the need for change in practice, locating the evidence, critically appraising the evidence, planning the practice change, implementing, and evaluating change in practice, and lastly maintaining changing in practice (Melnyk & Fineout-Overholt, 2019).
