Curtis Allred and Dr. Merritt Andrus, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry My project has been to synthesize smaller, simpler analogs of a molecule that is effective against renal cancer, called englerin-A. This is accomplished by computer aided modeling of simple analogs, synthesis of those models, and assays to determine activity. I am participating in this project in Dr. […]
Dynamical Structure Function Identifiability Conditions Enabling Signal Structure Reconstruction
Julius Adebayo and Dr. Sean Warnick, Department of Computer Science Networks of controlled dynamical systems exhibit a variety of interconnection patterns that can be interpreted as the structure of a system. One such interpretation of system structure is a system’s signal structure, characterized as the open-loop causal dependencies among manifest variables and represented by its dynamical structure function […]
Developing an Instrument to Assess Immunization Requirements Among Utah Health Care Workers in the Outpatient Setting
Nathan Wiley and Dr. Beth Luthy, College of Nursing The health care environment is ideal for the spread of immunization-preventable and communicable diseases (Goldstein, Kincade, Gamble, & Bearman, 2004). Communicable diseases, such as pertussis, are highly contagious and easily transmitted by health care workers (HCWs) to at-risk patients (CDC, 1997; Sandora, Gidengil, & Lee, 2008). […]
Planning for a Study Abroad Experience to Maximize Learning: A Student Perspective
Jordyn Whiting and Dr. Shelly Reed, College of Nursing Study abroad programs are a great way to help students become more culturally educated, and the number of students choosing to participate in these programs has more than doubled in the last ten years. In a world of increasing globalization, nurses are more and more likely […]
Healing All Around the World: French Nurses’ Perspective of the French Healthcare System
Cami Schiel and Dr. Leslie Miles, College of Nursing The purpose of this project was to examine how foreign nurses (specifically French nurses) perceived their healthcare system, and those in other countries.

How Incarceration Affects Maternal Identify of Female Inmates
Ashlee Manwaring and Dr. Janelle Macintosh, College of Nursing I proposed an ORCA with Janelle Macintosh, RN, PhD, last fall, and was awarded the grant in February. Our original idea was to investigate how incarceration affects maternal identify of female inmates. This was closely related to Dr. Macintosh’s original dissertation proposal and completed dissertation. However, […]
Nursing Education: The Role of Debriefing for Nursing Students’ First Clinical Experience with Death
Laura Gilpin and Dr. Barbara Heise, College of Nursing Death, particularly the unexpected death of a patient, is an emotionally charged, highstress situation for any nurse. Nursing students encounter scenarios involving death and dying in simulation laboratories, as well as in the clinical setting. It is essential a nurse learns how to process and cope […]
Adults with Type 1 Diabetes; Lifetime perspectives
Laura Boone and Dr. Donna Freeborn, College of Nursing The purpose of this qualitative study was to identify the stressors experienced throughout childhood and adolescence of adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Identification of stressors can be a helpful tool in improving the child and family’s quality of life and current treatment methodologies. T1D is […]
Student Perception of How Simulation Applies to Clinical Experience
Brooke Alleger and Dr. Debra Wing, College of Nursing For students in the nursing program at Brigham Young University, lab time in the Nursing Learning Center in the basement of the Spencer W. Kimball Tower is a regular part of the classroom experience. In this lab, nursing skills such as assessments, starting IVs, inserting catheters […]
The Impact of Describing Products in Sensorial Ways on Variety- Seeking Behavior
Lidan Xu and Dr. Ryan Elder, Department of Business Management This project is to examine how describing the sensory attributes (vs. non-sensory) of a product impacts variety-seeking behaviors of consumers.
