My research examines how OSCE (Objective Structured Clinical Examination) role-play simulations help prepare nurse-practitioner students for real-world primary care. Interviews with recent graduates show role plays build confidence, teach communication and clinical routines, and improve readiness for complex cases. Following best-practice guidelines enhances learning. Expanding these simulations could strengthen primary care, especially in underserved rural areas.

My research investigates how families manage temporary feeding tubes at home. Using journey mapping with 30 families, it reveals overwhelming routines, safety fears, isolation, and lack of support. The findings expose major gaps in healthcare communication and training, highlighting the urgent need for better systems to help families thrive beyond “plan, prep, feed, clean, repeat.”

Electricity access doesn’t always translate into real development benefits. In Timor-Leste, “100% access” still leaves hospitals dark at night. A review of global evidence shows that over a third of electrification outcomes are neutral or negative. This research explores barriers that limit electricity’s impact to inform better policy and community support.
