TITLE<\/strong>: IMPROVING TRIAGE DECISION-MAKING SELF-EFFICACY THROUGH IMPLEMENTATION OF AN EMERGENCY SEVERITY INDEX-INFORMED TRIAGE FRAMEWORK IN A WALK-IN FAMILY CLINIC<\/p>\n

ABSTRACT<\/strong>: Background: Triage is an emergency process that helps in the early identification and ranking of patients requiring urgent medical attention. Although the standardized triage systems are already proven to be effective in the emergency department setting, informal triage systems are still employed by a majority of walk-in primary care clinics, which introduces inconsistency in patient prioritization and confidence of healthcare providers and medical assistants in making triage decisions. Purpose: The purpose of this Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) quality improvement project is to determine the impact of a standardized triage tool and educational intervention on the self-efficacy of healthcare providers and medical assistants with regard to triage in a private walk-in family clinic. Methods: The project will use a single-group pretest-posttest design guided by the Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) framework and Bandura’s Social Cognitive Theory. The project will be implemented in two private family clinic settings in Houston, Texas. A convenience sample of approximately 12 healthcare providers and medical assistants from two private family clinics will be recruited to participate. The intervention will include the use of a standardized triage instrument and a one-hour educational session covering triage principles, high-risk presentations, patient prioritization, escalation guidelines, and documentation. The validated General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSE) will be used to measure self-efficacy pre- and post-intervention. Descriptive statistics will be used in summarizing participant characteristics, and a paired-samples t-test will be used to compare the level of self-efficacy scores before and after the intervention. The results of this project can be used to support the use of standardized triage procedures and specific education to enhance self-efficacy among staff, more consistent triage decision-making, and increase the provision of safe, timely, and evidence-based patient care in ambulatory care facilities.<\/p>\n

TITLE<\/strong>: INTEGRATION OF ATTENTION MECHANISMS IN YOLOV11 FOR IMPROVED UNDERWATER OBJECT DETECTION<\/p>\n

ABSTRACT: <\/strong>Underwater ecosystems, covering over 70% of Earth\u2019s surface, harbor diverse marine flora and fauna critical to environmental sustainability and biodiversity. Despite their significance, only approximately 5% of these aquatic environments have been explored, limiting our understanding of marine species distribution, behavior, and conservation needs. Automated object detection systems offer a promising solution for large-scale underwater monitoring, yet face significant challenges including degraded image quality, color distortion, low contrast, and complex backgrounds inherent to aquatic environments. This research investigates the integration of attention mechanisms with YOLOv11 for improved marine species detection using the DUO (Detecting Underwater Objects) dataset. The DUO dataset comprises 6,671 training images and 1,111 test images across four marine organism categories: Holothurian (sea cucumbers), Echinus (Sea urchins), Scallop, and Starfish, totaling 74,515 annotated instances. Initial baseline experiments with YOLOv11 achieved 81% Mean Average Precision (mAP) and 80% overall accuracy. To address the unique challenges of underwater object detection, particularly small object detection and feature degradation, we propose integrating Sequential Fusion Attention (SFA) mechanisms into the YOLOv11 architecture. The SFA module combines spatial and channel attention to enhance feature extraction while maintaining computational efficiency. Furthermore, the dataset includes several benthic organisms. The model is refined to highlight edge boundaries in these sea dwelling organisms. This proposed modification is termed the benthic Efficient Attention – Sequential Fusion Attention (BEA-SFA). Results show an improvement in overall mAP of over 80% and quicker inference time. This research aims to improve detection performance for marine species monitoring applications while maintaining real-time processing capabilities suitable for underwater robotic platforms.<\/p>\n
