Brandi Saunders - “Trauma Life as an ER Nurse: Why We Are Leaving and How to Stop It” (session 2) The Emergency Department is known to be a high stress environment: patients, families and care needs are frequently unpredictable. This unpredictability is one reason provider turnover rates and provider burnout rates are high. As these rates continue to rise, we see not only the increase of nurses leaving the bed side but also more incidents in which nurses are self-harming and an increase in suicide rates within the nursing population as a whole. It is hoped that by reaching multiple managers and HR departments with this information we will be able to see an increase in available positive coping strategies for all nurses to prevent future tragedies within this population of caregivers.
Felipe Souza - “Sensory Rooms” (poster session) We are going to talk about the use of sensory rooms and how they can help people that suffer from overstimulation like noises and big crowds. As a Graphic Design and Psychology major duo, we are going to explain how the use of colors and designs can affect someone’s brain and bring comfort and calmness. Arthur Stastny - “PTSD: The Intense Stress on the Brain” (session 9) This project explores the brain and how daily life is affected by the mental illness PTSD in all different ages from young to old. It will go into detail about how not only are there very visible signs but also the underlying ones that many people wouldn’t think to notice or take as a sign of ptsd. Many of which may cause them to seem like an outcast or seen as mean and hateful but could just be a result of ptsd. Seth Stotts - “The Effect of Pre-operative Education on Post-operative Pain” (session 3) Research indicates that over 70% of patients suffer from moderate to severe postoperative pain after undergoing invasive surgical procedures. It is vital that patients are thoroughly educated on their options of pain control throughout different procedures. The goal of this project is to educate individuals on the different types of anesthesia that are available to them and empower them to request their anesthesia provider to use their preferred anesthesia if indicated. An educational pamphlet will provide preoperative patients knowledge on the different routes of anesthesia- including local, regional, and general anesthesia, allowing patients to have a better understanding of pain management options. Oliver Svirsky - “Physical Activity and Mental Wellbeing” (poster session) The purpose of this study was to look for possible relationships between physical activity and mental wellbeing. Previous studies suggest that there is a relationship where increased physical activity correlates with increased mental well being. The current study extends these findings using a convenience sample of MVC students who were invited to take an online survey. Subsections of the survey asked about demographics, amount and types of physical activity, as well as questions designed to address emotion, social, and psychological well being. Person’s correlational comparisons were used to look for patterns in demographics, mental wellbeing, and physical activity.

Hailey Simons - “Tuberculosis Research” (poster session) Tuberculosis is a serious illness that mainly affects the lungs.Tuberculosis can spread through the air, for example; coughing and sneezing. On March 24, 1882, Robert Koch announced the discovery of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacterium that causes tuberculosis. At that time, TB killed one out of every seven people living in the US and Europe. Koch’s discovery was the most important step taken toward the control and elimination of this disease. The incubation period is often quick, though most people don’t develop the active disease, they just remain with the latent infection. Symptoms may include a persistent cough that lasts more than three weeks and usually brings up phlegm, possibly bloody. Weight loss, night sweats, fatigue, and loss of appetite. The mortality rate of this disease is rather low, at 0.2 deaths per 100,000 people. Treatment plans vary, depending on the patient and the severity of the tuberculosis. Jaamel Smith - See Hopkinson Jacopo Sottocornola - “How Much can a Master’s Degree in Business Administration Increase Your Future Possible Earnings?” (session 12) The goal of the research is to find differences of future possible earnings between workers with a Master’s in Business Administration (MBA), and the ones with only a bachelor’s degree in business. The research will start by analyzing the differences between starting salaries, and then expand to comparing average salaries and total earnings during average career length. Additionally, the research will apply the cost benefit analysis of doing an MBA. The research is going to identify, quantify, and compare the expected benefits and costs of the investment of an MBA. We are going to implement the payback method and a time value analysis to conclude this section of the research.
