Cross-Sectional Research

Cross-Sectional Research

In cross-sectional research, a researcher compares multiple segments of the population at the same time. If they were interested in people's dietary habits, the researcher might directly compare different groups of people by age. Instead of following a group of people for 20 years to see how their dietary habits changed from decade to decade, the researcher would study a group of 20-year-old individuals and compare them to a group of 30-year-old individuals and a group of 40-year-old...

Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching III: Evaluation and Documentation

Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching III: Evaluation and Documentation

Evaluation of the teaching process enables the nurse to determine if the patient's learning needs were met and if training was effective. If the expected outcomes are not met, the care plan is revised, and additional education or reinforcement is provided. Nurses can ask questions after the session or obtain feedback to assess the patient's understanding of the topic.
Nurses can use several methods to evaluate patient outcomes. For example, oral questions can assess cognitive learning, patient...

Longitudinal Research

Longitudinal Research

Sometimes we want to see how people change over time, as in studies of human development and lifespan. When we test the same group of individuals repeatedly over an extended period of time, we are conducting longitudinal research. Longitudinal research is a research design in which data-gathering is administered repeatedly over an extended period of time. For example, we may survey a group of individuals about their dietary habits at age 20, retest them a decade later at age 30, and then again...

Area of Science:

Equine Science
Agricultural Education
Animal Behavior

Background:

Equine teaching and research programs are vital but costly for land grant universities.
Limited external funding restricts undergraduate research opportunities in equine studies.
A novel program at Rutgers University addressed these limitations by using at-risk horses.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the effectiveness and outcomes of an undergraduate teaching and research program utilizing at-risk horses.
To explore the potential of leveraging media interest in rescue horses for program funding and sustainability.
To assess the impact of the program on student learning, career development, and research output.

Main Methods:

Initiated a unique undergraduate program using young, at-risk horses needing rescue.
Leveraged media interest in these horses to secure external funding.
Integrated horse management, training, research, and outreach activities for students.
Included horses from pregnant mare urine (PMU) ranches and Bureau of Land Management (BLM) mustangs.

Main Results:

The program ran successfully for 12 years, generating positive media coverage.
Over 500 students, including 80 minorities, participated in diverse program activities.
Student research led to 25 abstracts at national/international meetings and 14 honors theses.
More than 100 students pursued veterinary school or higher education, and over 100 entered equine/science careers.

Conclusions:

Using at-risk horses in an undergraduate program yielded significant positive outcomes for students.
The program demonstrated sustainability through public and industry support, despite economic challenges.
This model effectively enhanced undergraduate education and research in equine studies.
