This paper explores how student success is measured in Delaware and the impact social determinants of health have on youth outcomes, including chronic absence, homelessness, nutrition, poverty, and adverse childhood experiences. By addressing these interconnected issues, Delaware can work towards closing achievement gaps and improving educational experiences for all students. Findings underscore the necessity for comprehensive support systems within schools informed by empirical evidence to foster a conducive learning environment and improve student outcomes. By addressing the social determinants of health driving educational challenges, policymakers can take a comprehensive approach to enhance the well-being and academic success of all children in Delaware.</p>","PeriodicalId":72774,"journal":{"name":"Delaware journal of public health","volume":"10 4","pages":"56-60"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11526698/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142570390","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Informing a Future Clinician-Led Virtual Reality Experience Through Oncology Caregivers' Pre-Treatment Preparation Experiences.","authors":"Susan Birkhoff, Heidi Donovan, Young Ji Lee","doi":"10.32481/djph.2024.08.09","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.32481/djph.2024.08.09","url":null,"abstract":"<p><strong>Purpose: </strong>The purpose of this study was to 1) describe oncology caregivers' pre-treatment preparation experiences, 2) elicit their feedback about approaches to improve the pre-treatment preparation experience, and 3) explore the potential use of visual aids into the pre-treatment education experience that will inform future clinician-led VR experiences.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Using a qualitative descriptive design and convenience sampling technique, adult oncology caregivers were recruited to complete anonymous demographic and qualitative surveys posted on social media sites (i.e. American Cancer Society, Facebook, and LinkedIn) and a university supported community research registry (i.e. Pitt + Me). Demographic data were calculated using descriptive analyses (frequency and percentage) and qualitative data were analyzed using an inductive coding approach.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Participants (N=18) were mostly female (n=13, 72%), white (n=14, 78%), married (n=14, 78%), and had a college degree or higher (n=16, 89%). They categorically ranged in age from 26 years to above 65 years, with the majority (n=11, 61%) between 36-55 years of age. Caregivers described the cancer information as overwhelming and in need of additional side effect information and emotional support. To meet their unmet needs, participants suggested providing additional resources, different approaches to learning, better explanation of processes and procedures, diverse emotional support, and more interactions with the oncology team.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Clinician created VR experiences designed for and informed by oncology caregivers do not exist yet. VR could provide an alternative pediogogical approach to complement standard oncology treatment preparation. These study findings begin the exploration into innovative preparation approaches that could meet oncology caregivers' unmet emotional and educational needs during a stressful period.</p><p><strong>Key highlights: </strong>There is a dearth of clinicians creating and testing VR experiences for patients, let alone caregivers. Oncology caregivers are the unseen 'backbone' supporting their loved one and providing an innovative modality to support them could improve outcomes. VR has the potential improve outcomes for caregivers, which may improve outcomes for patients.</p>","PeriodicalId":72774,"journal":{"name":"Delaware journal of public health","volume":"10 3","pages":"30-35"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11356583/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142115594","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
