Title: The Non-Random Selection of Medicinal Plants Theory: a Case Study of a Kichwa Community in the Ecuadorian Amazon.
Creator: Robles Arias, Daniela M., Fadiman, Maria, Florida Atlantic University, Charles E. Schmidt College of Science, Department of Geosciences
Abstract/Description: The non-random selection of medicinal plants theory, which states that phylogeny affects the selection of medicinal plants, was proposed by Daniel Moerman to indirectly prove that traditional medicinal systems are rational and based in part by the therapeutic efficacy of plants. The logic of this theory is that because members of a taxonomical group share similar characteristics, some groups will be more medicinal and will be over-used in pharmacopoeias, while other groups bereft of secondary...
Show moreThe non-random selection of medicinal plants theory, which states that phylogeny affects the selection of medicinal plants, was proposed by Daniel Moerman to indirectly prove that traditional medicinal systems are rational and based in part by the therapeutic efficacy of plants. The logic of this theory is that because members of a taxonomical group share similar characteristics, some groups will be more medicinal and will be over-used in pharmacopoeias, while other groups bereft of secondary metabolites and therapeutic potential will be under-used medicinally. To test this theory, Moerman linearly regressed the total number of medicinal plants per family against the total number of plants per family present in an area and examined residual values to find over-used and under-used medicinal plant families. The method has been praised for its simplicity. Nonetheless, shortcomings have been noted and criticized, inspiring researchers to propose new procedures to test for phylogenetic biases in pharmacopoeias. Negative Binomial regression and examination of studentized residuals, the method used in this investigation, ameliorates the original one with a few corrections, conserving the simplicity and solving for all the criticized flaws. Also, this study incorporated different sociodemographic factors to determine if the intracultural homogeneity of traditional knowledge affects the results of the non-random selection of medicinal plants theory analysis. By testing Moerman’s theory, which is one of Ethnobotany’s major theories, this investigation is in agreement with the call to have more hypothesis-driven research within a theoretical framework to continue to advance the Ethnobotany field.

Title: The Nurse Practitioner Holistic Caring Instrument: A Pilot Study.
Creator: Kinchen, Elizabeth V., Graduate College
Abstract/Description: Holistic care has long been a defining attribute of nursing practice. From the earliest years of its
formal history, nursing has favored a holistic approach in the care of patients, an approach that is grounded in relationship and considers the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit. With passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act PPACA and the publication of the Institute of Medicine’s report on the future of nursing, nurses are slated to take on an expanded role in...
Show moreHolistic care has long been a defining attribute of nursing practice. From the earliest years of its
formal history, nursing has favored a holistic approach in the care of patients, an approach that is grounded in relationship and considers the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit. With passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act PPACA and the publication of the Institute of Medicine’s report on the future of nursing, nurses are slated to take on an expanded role in healthcare delivery in the near future. Nurse practitioners, in particular, will be instrumental in filling the gap in primary care availability engendered by the increasing specialization of physician practice and increased access to healthcare made possible by the provisions of the PPACA.
This pilot study used a Content Validity Index CVI, with a convenience sample of experts n8 in Nurse Practitioner care and Holistic Nursing practice, to evaluate the Nurse Practitioner Holistic Caring Instrument NPHCI, a new, investigator-developed measure of the holistic attributes of Nurse Practitioner care. Analysis of CVI responses revealed that the majority of participants were in perfect agreement 1.00 in rating the scale as a whole as ‘content relevant’. In addition, 14 out of 19 instrument items were accorded a perfect score of 1.00. Free-text responses were also solicited in evaluating validity of the instrument. Results from this pilot study indicate that the NPHCI has sufficient validity to render it eligible for use in a larger study, surveying patients on holistic attributes of Nurse Practitioner care.

Show moreThis study's purpose was to explore, through a descriptive method, the registered nurses' experience of being assisted in practice by multiskilled personnel for the provision of direct patient care. The multiskilled personnel were unlicensed, functioned in an assistive role to the nurse, and were trained at the hospital to perform technical direct patient care tasks. Data sources included interviews with three registered nurses. Study findings supported the existence of a caring nurse-multiskilled assistant relationship that was characterized by the concepts of communication, task responsibility, reciprocal helping, respect, commitment to a shared goal, and nurse leadership. Through a dialectical process, where the thesis was the nurse-patient relationship as identified in the study and the antithesis was the multiskilled assistant-patient relationship, the nurse-multiskilled assistant-patient relationship was synthesized. The study findings in relationship to previous studies, team theory, and Nursing as Caring theory were discussed.

Show moreVibrio bacteria are emerging pathogens responsible for 80,000 illnesses and 100 deaths in the United States each year. Infections are directly linked to the marine environment and are acquired by consuming contaminated seafood or exposing wounds during aquatic activities. Florida has the highest national incidence of vibriosis, with 20% of its cases reported from the Indian River Lagoon region, a popular recreation destination. This study utilized a combination of cultivation and molecular techniques to investigate the local distribution of V. vulnificus, V. parahaemolyticus and V. cholerae in this local waterway. The targeted species were found in an array of samples which may facilitate their transmission to humans. Overall, these bacteria were abundant in estuarine sediments (Vp: 2,439 CFU/g, Vv: 303 CFU/g, Vc: 176 CFU/g), on the sharp edges of oyster shells (Vp: 82 CFU/cm, Vv: 102 CFU/cm, Vc: 41 CFU/cm), and in the water column (Vp: 3.78 CFU/ml, Vv: 5.51 CFU/ml, Vc: 2.46 CFU/ml). Vibrio also pose a hazard to recreational anglers as they were recovered from fish (Vp: 61%, Vv: 55%, Vc: 30%), live bait shrimp (Vp: 80%, Vv: 37%, Vc: 0%) and hooks (Vp: 32%, Vv: 18%, Vc: 0%). Additionally, a molecular analysis of the V. vulnificus virulence revealed that the local population was dominated by disease-causing (vcgC) strains, which may explain why wound-related infections are common in this region. Vibrio occurrence varied both spatially and temporally due to their relationship with salinity and temperature. These bacteria exhibited a strong negative correlation with salinity, being particularly abundant near freshwater discharge locations. Due to Florida’s year-round warm climate, these species were found to be permanent members of the local microbial community. Seasonal peaks in abundance occurred between August and October, a period which corresponds with the warmest water temperatures as well as frequent rainfall. Predictive models were constructed based on these parameters to provide a better understanding of how, when and where Vibrio spp. may be encountered by humans. This information is important for both water management and healthcare initiatives, with an overall goal of improving local recreational safety.
