We're looking at how practicing Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) through simulations can help new nursing graduates in their critical care course. This study could shape how future nursing programs are designed and improve how well new nurses are prepared for real-life emergencies.
This study aims to learn how nurses in the Neonatal Critical Care Center (NCCC) at UNC Hospitals in Chapel Hill use and think about Kangaroo Care, which is when a parent holds their premature baby skin-to-skin. Kangaroo Care can help babies sleep better, reduce stress, improve breastfeeding, and support growth. Most research focuses on how it helps babies, but we want to know more about how nurses use it during their work. We will interview experienced NCCC nurses to find out how they introduce Kangaroo Care to families, how often they use it, what makes it easier or harder to do, and what changes they notice in the babies. The goal is to help hospitals support nurses and families better in the NCCC.
Many people in the U.S. suffer from knee pain and have a tough time staying active, which can hurt their health and happiness. Our study focuses on a common knee problem called patellofemoral pain. We're testing a new way to reduce pain and fear related to movement by combining mindfulness and physical activity through a mobile app. We believe that being mindful during exercise could make a big difference in how people feel physically and mentally.
