Incivility in the OR

We are doing a research study to understand how being treated rudely affects the decisions of anesthesiology residents. We want to see if being treated badly makes it harder for them to make good decisions during their training. This is important because it can help us make the work environment better and improve patient care.

Age-Based- Genomic Screening Caregiver Interviews

The University of North Carolina Age-Based Genomic Screening program is an innovative paradigm that aims to provide targeted and highly actionable genetic information to parents via their child's routine wellness visits. The final stage of the program involves a pilot study that will expand pediatric genetic screening in well-child care across the states. In preparation for this final stage, we will conduct interviews with parents or caregiver of children in North Carolina to inform an implementation plan, educational and training materials, and evaluation plan for the pilot study. The interviews will consist of questions aimed at assessing barriers and facilitators to the implementation of ABGS, including parents' and children's healthcare and genetic screening experiences (such as blood and saliva collection), perceptions and interest in the ABGS program, expectations and experiences with healthcare providers, and the information needed for participation decisions.

Development and Effect of an Electronic Learning Module on Defibrillator Competence in Anesthesia Providers

The purpose of this study is to find out if an online learning module can be just as effective as in-person training for teaching anesthesia residents how to use a defibrillator. A defibrillator is a machine that helps restart a person's heart when it stops beating. The study will look at how well the residents can perform important tasks, like using the defibrillator to deliver a shock to the heart, both right after they learn and four months later. The goal is to see if the online training works as well as traditional hands-on training and if the residents prefer one method over the other.

Enhancing the role of pharmacies in reducing opioid misuse and abuse in racial and ethnic minority and rural communities

The goal of this project is to understand how community pharmacies work collaboratively with patients to reduce the harm that opioid misuse can cause. Investigators are also seeking to understand what challenges community pharmacies face when trying to decrease harm from opioids by supporting safe use of opioid medications and access to medications for opioid use disorder treatment and opioid overdose reversal. Information gathering efforts are being focused on community pharmacies that serve racial and ethnic minority communities in rural areas. Triangle CERSI scientists are working collaboratively with the FDA to survey and interview pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, patients, and other community members to collect and analyze data needed to better understand community pharmacy challenges in these areas. Ultimately, investigators seek to explore effective ways to reduce the harm from opioid misuse among underserved communities.
