Effects Of Intimate Partner Violence On Maternal Reflective Functioning And Attachment Relationship In Hispanic/Latina Women And Their Preschool-Age Children: A Qualitative Study, Patricia Martinez Burr
Individual, Family, and Community Education ETDs
Research indicates that thousands of women across the world suffer intimate partner violence (IPV) under the hands of their partner on a daily basis.

This qualitative study used a transcendental phenomenological approach designed to analyze the in-depth interview responses of ten Hispanic/Latina mothers of preschool-age children, who had been victims of IPV within the last year to examine these effects. Given the researchers desire to better understand the effects of IPV on …

Mirando Hacia El Futuro: Using Multilevel Growth Models To Examine The Achievement Gap Between White And Hispanic Students, Renee Delgado
Individual, Family, and Community Education ETDs
Academic achievement gaps have been a topic of study for researchers within the United States of America for many decades because there has been a steady achievement disparity between White students and students of color. The mathematics achievement gap for the largest growing population, Hispanic students, has not changed when compared to White students over the last few decades (Dillon, 2009; Hemphill, Vanneman, & Rahman, 2011; Perie, Moran, & Lutkus, 2005). Utilizing mathematics achievement scores from students in 3rd-5th grades in a large Southwestern Urban School District, levels of math achievement between White and Hispanic students were compared to examine …

A Differential Item Functioning Analysis Of The New Mexico English Language Proficiency Assessment, Walter Gilmore
A Differential Item Functioning Analysis Of The New Mexico English Language Proficiency Assessment, Walter Gilmore
Individual, Family, and Community Education ETDs
English language proficiency assessments are currently in use by the 50 states (Wolf, Farnsworth, & Herman, 2008). Unfortunately, validations studies seldom address the effects of home languages on the use and interpretation of these assessments. If this step is overlooked, the assessment may include items that unfairly position one group of home language scores over another group. An omission of home languages was the case for the New Mexico English Language Proficiency Assessment (NMELPA) (Harcourt Assessment, Inc., 2006, 2007). For this reason, the NMELPA was investigated for group differences between those with first language origins in Spanish and Navajo, the …
Initial Development Of A Medical Information Literacy Questionnaire, Sarah Knox Morley
Initial Development Of A Medical Information Literacy Questionnaire, Sarah Knox Morley
Individual, Family, and Community Education ETDs
Originating from the field of library science, information literacy (IL) is defined as a broad set of skills and abilities necessary to locate, evaluate and use information ethically and legally. This important skill set is incorporated into general competency requirements for postgraduate residency programs, however no standardized instrument currently exists to measure resident physician IL knowledge and skills. This study addresses that gap by developing and pilot testing an instrument aimed at measuring information literacy competence in resident physicians. The author constructed a questionnaire of sixty-nine multiple-choice items to assess skills covering five IL domains. Utilizing the Content Validity Ratio …
Can High School Assessments Predict Developmental Education Enrollment In New Mexico?, Tyler Weldon
Can High School Assessments Predict Developmental Education Enrollment In New Mexico?, Tyler Weldon
Individual, Family, and Community Education ETDs
Thousands of Americans enter postsecondary institutions every year and many are under-prepared for college-level work. Subsequently, students enroll in or are placed in developmental courses in preparation for the rigor of college-level classes. Numerous studies have looked at the impact of developmental course work on student outcomes, but few focus on predictors that could identify students who are likely to need developmental education. The potential for early prediction (and therefore possible intervention) is less understood. This study addresses this gap by examining the connection between high school assessments and subsequent developmental courses enrollment in college. Using longitudinal data from New …

Counselor Educators' Teaching Practices In A Multicultural Society: A Multicase Study, Don Trahan Jr
Individual, Family, and Community Education ETDs
Counselor education programs aim to provide students with curricula that will enable them as clinicians to effectively engage culturally diverse populations. In contemporary society, it is almost certain that counselors will encounter clients whose cultural background differs from that of their own (Remley & Herlihy, 2010). According to the ACA Code of Ethics (2005) section F.11, counselor educators are expected to actively infuse multicultural and/or diversity competencies into their training and supervision practices. While the ACA Code of Ethics (2005) provides counselor educators with ethical guidelines that are expected to assist its members in constructing a professional course of action, …
Effect Of An External Visual Cue On Delivery Of Enteral Nutrition In A University Trauma/Surgical/Burn Intensive Care Unit, Paula West
Individual, Family, and Community Education ETDs
Background: Enteral nutrition in the critically ill patient is interrupted for myriad reasons some of which include withholding for operations, diagnostic tests, high residuals, feeding tube displacements and routine care. We sought to determine if use of an external visual cue by nursing increases delivery of goal enteral nutrition (EN) from baseline during the first 7 days of ICU admission. Methods: After achieving IRB approval we retrospectively evaluated all trauma/surgical/burn intensive care unit (TSBICU) records from May 2012 through March 2013 for patients with more than 7 days in the TSBICU who received EN as their primary means of nutrition …

A narrative analysis of the life histories of the main caregivers through three different stages of the mental illness was conducted. They were life before, during, and after the onset of the mental illness. Family Systems …
