Expectation for college attendance in the United States continues to rise as more jobs require degrees. This study aims to determine how parental expectations affect high school students in their decision to attend college. By examining parental expectations that were placed on current college students prior to and during the application period, we can determine the positive and negative outcomes of these expectations as well as the atmosphere they are creating. To test the hypothesis, an online survey was distributed to current ASU and Barrett, Honors College students regarding their experience with college applications and their parents' influence on their collegiate attendance. A qualitative analysis of the data was conducted in tandem with an analysis of several case studies to determine the results. These data show that parental expectations are having a significant impact on the enrollment of high school students in college programs. With parents placing these expectations on their children, collegiate enrollment will continue to increase. Further studies will be necessary to determine the specific influences these expectations are placing on students.

In the emergency department of a hospital, providers are responsible for diagnosing and treating multiple critical patients at a time. Their ability to make quick and careful decisions often will determine whether their patient lives or dies. Because of this, emergency department (ED) providers experience significant amounts of stress during each shift which consequently may lead to burnout (Lall et al., 2019). It is crucial to investigate strategies to help control burnout among ED providers, as their own well-being directly affects the physical health of their patients. Furthermore, female providers are subject to increased stress from unique challenges within the workplace due to their gender. The purpose of this study was to determine which strategies are the most effective in the mitigation of burnout among female emergency department providers. A survey was administered to emergency department providers (M.D., D.O., P.A., and N.P.) from three hospitals in Arizona. It was found that spending time with family, maintaining good nutrition, and exercising were the most effective strategies in the mitigation of female provider burnout. These results should be considered by providers who work in the ED, female providers working in other medical specialties, other ED staff, hospital administration, and ED patients. With the implementation of these three strategies into their daily life, female ED providers may find a decrease in burnout and, consequently, an improvement in patient care.

Evaluating the Efficacy of a Personal Wellness Workshop Series on ASU Honors Students

Burnout due to work and school-related stress negatively impacts college student’s confidence, motivation, and mindset. Burnout can manifest as lower quality of a student’s education, performance, relationships, and overall well-being. Using the Maslach Burnout Inventory™ - General Survey for Students: MBI-GS (S), researchers assessed the effectiveness of a five-part workshop series titled “A Series on Self-Reflection, Self-Understanding, and Strengthening the Mind,” focused on improving burnout symptoms in students attending ASU’s Barrett, the Honors College, against a control group of non-workshop participating honors students. Data was collected through MBI-GS (S) evaluation surveys after each workshop attendance, via the daily honors newsletter, and through subject interviews. The researchers conducted a qualitative study consistent with case studies and focus groups. Descriptive statistics of survey responses were quantified in Excel, representing varying burnout levels in honors students throughout the Spring 2023 school semester. Overall, the surveys from the workshop attendees and Honors Digest students yielded insignificant differences in burnout levels. The eight interviewee case studies emphasize the complex influences of culture and environment on burnout. While burnout levels between Honors Digest students and workshop attendees were insignificantly different, each interviewee student presented changed perspectives on their studies and themselves.
