In my NURS411 Evidence-Based Practice course, I worked in a team to utilize the Johns Hopkins Evidence-Based Practice Model to research a topic and synthesize our findings. For my EBP research topic, I got to dive into the question of "does being in an assisted living facility compared to living at home alone improve loneliness and isolation in the elderly?" Please view our abstract!

Do you ever feel your attention span is unbalanced, lacking what you're originally used to? Good News! Y.O.U. is sponsoring an important FAN Event: Attention Span: Find Focus, Fight Distraction, in conversation with Dr. Gloria Mark and David Epstein. "Based on decades of original research in what Prof. Mark calls “living laboratories,” where she studies technology use in people’s real-world environments, Attention Span not only presents the science of exactly how short our attention spans have become, how much we’re interrupted and how much stress that causes us, but also how we can gain control of our attention and achieve wellbeing." Attention Span: Find Focus, Fight Distraction will begin at 7:00 pm on Zoom. Tonight will be the perfect opportunity to gain insight about improving attention span, not only for ourselves but as a way to learn from a caregiver's perspective to understand and aim to improve the health of our children's attention span! Participants who purchase a book are invited to the after-hours event. We hope you can make the event! https://lnkd.in/dZGJWM8A
