UAPRN Members..Can you provide us with some Assistance ?

All UAPRN Georgia Members

Can you offer your assistance with one of our doctoral student by completing her survey below and submitting it for data analysis??

Margaret McIlwain  is a DNP student that has requested my help on her capstone research so that she may graduate this December.

Her survey is her first effort of her research trajectory on identification of barriers that preclude the APRN from doing an early dementia screening on his/her aging patients. This has incredible potential for this doctoral student as she then will synthesize the data received from your survey and I will assist her in developing a new instrument that identifies early dementia in the aging patient. Such a diagnosis usually comes much later and the life expectancy is low as the symptomotology has advanced rapidly, resulting in incredible healthcare costs for the patient and the patient''s family.  

In our optimistic dreams of developing a new instrument based on your comments from the survey, earlier identification of dementia takes place, earlier treatment options can begin, savings to the older adult by hundred of thousands of dollars, tax payer dollars significantly reduce as the older adult is not institutionalized with advanced dementia sxs., and yeaars of improved quality of life since interventions began early in the disease diagnosis.

Please take the 10 minutes and complete her survey this week!! 

The survey can be completed in less than 10 minutes and can be accessed at:

Thank you in helping one of our APRN students to potentially changing early diagnosing dementia.
