Hyperlipidemia: Enhancing Patient Education And Clinical Support To Improve Self-Efficacy, Kelly L. Caniglia
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
Hyperlipidemia is a chronic, progressive disorder routinely encountered in primary care practice. In the United States, coronary artery disease and cerebrovascular disease are the leading causes of death. Hyperlipidemia is a modifiable risk factor for the development of coronary artery disease, cerebrovascular disease, and peripheral artery disease. However, many individuals fail to recognize the severity of the health consequences associated with hyperlipidemia. Most often, hyperlipidemia is the direct result of unhealthy lifestyle behaviors. Comprehensive care falls short in primary care settings, often due to non-compliance with necessary lifestyle behavior changes. Primary care patients' lack of knowledge and awareness signals a …

Standardizing Critical Skills And Competency Validation To Promote Self-Efficacy Among Rapid Response Nurses, Kelli Dail Baker
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
Competency validation is a key component of supporting nurses with necessary skills to provide care for their patients. However, many healthcare organizations do not have a standardized process for determining which skills are evaluated and the method by which evaluation occurs. To address competency validation among rapid response nurses (RRNs), this evidence-based practice project was proposed to increase self-efficacy. This project involved a thorough data review of all rapid response skills, categorizing all interventions based on quantity and acuity, and holding a hands-on educational fair for a set of standardized skills. A quasi-experimental design was used to collect data pre- …

An Examination Of The Career Decision-Making Self-Efficacy Of Final-Year Nursing Students, Edah Anyango, Esther Adama, Janie Brown, Irene Ngune
Research outputs 2022 to 2026
Background: One in four newly graduated registered nurses leave their employment positions within the first year. To reduce this attrition, nursing stakeholders could focus on the final year of nursing education because students at this stage make professional career plans, including their practice destination for the graduate year and their commitment to the profession. Previous studies provide evidence of nursing students' career preferences and specialty choices. However, there is a dearth of data that focuses on the students' career decision-making process. Aim: This study examined the self-efficacy or confidence of final-year nursing students in making career decisions and the factors …
The Effect Of Academic Self-Efficacy On Sleep And Academic Performance: A Moderation Analysis, Nhien Nguyen An La
The Effect Of Academic Self-Efficacy On Sleep And Academic Performance: A Moderation Analysis, Nhien Nguyen An La
2024 Spring Honors Capstone Projects
While research acknowledges the independent effects of sleep and self-efficacy on academic outcomes, the potential moderating role of academic self-efficacy (ASE) on the relationship between sleep and academic success remains unexplored. Academic self-efficacy has been consistently associated with students' motivation, goal setting, and resilience, while sleep quality predicts cognitive functioning and memory consolidation. Thus, this project addressed the gaps in the literature by examining these three variables collectively among 371 UTA college students using a cross-sectional survey design. Results suggested that among the subscales of ASE, only ASE academic performance in class significantly predicted academic performance (p < .001), while sleep quality and the remaining three subscales did not. Additionally, ASE interaction at school was found to be a significant moderator in the relationship between sleep and academic performance (p < .001). The findings of this study could have implications for educational interventions aimed at enhancing student achievement and promoting self-efficacy in academic settings.

Optimizing Digital Proficiency To Improve Perceived Self-Efficacy In Telehealth Nurses, Serena Young
Doctor of Nursing Practice Projects
The use of telehealth to provide care management services has increased as healthcare continues to evolve. Seven million Americans were predicted to use telehealth in 2020, which increased to over 35 million through the pandemic. These services have been shown to decrease healthcare disparities and promote positive health outcomes. Education and training for nurses providing telehealth services have not kept up with the increased demand. Nurses providing care management telehealth services in a large tertiary health system have low perceived self-efficacy for technology. Leaders in the organization believe this is causing a lack of digital proficiency in their workforce. This …

Multicultural Assessment Practices: A Phenomenological Study Examining Speech-Language Pathologists' Self-Efficacy, Paola Jessica Flores
Multicultural Assessment Practices: A Phenomenological Study Examining Speech-Language Pathologists' Self-Efficacy, Paola Jessica Flores
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
The purpose of this phenomenological study was to understand speech-language pathologists’ (SLP) self-efficacy beliefs toward assessing culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) students within public elementary schools in California. Bandura’s self-efficacy theory guided this study since it evaluated SLPs’ belief in their capacity to manage their motivation, behavior, and social environment to carry out appropriate assessment procedures for CLD students. As not all students from CLD backgrounds are accurately identified, gathering the SLPs’ lived experiences regarding current assessment practices helped provide insight into the appropriate identification of SLI. Participants included SLPs employed by rural public school districts in California, with students …

Health-related behaviours contribute to the global burden of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Cardiovascular imaging can be used to screen asymptomatic individuals for increased risk of CVD to enable earlier interventions to promote health-related behaviours to prevent or reduce CVD risk. Some theories of behaviour and behaviour change assume that engagement in a given behaviour is a function of individual threat appraisals, beliefs regarding the performance of behaviour, self-efficacy for performing the desired behaviour and/or dispositions to act (e.g. behavioural intentions). To date, little is known about the impact of cardiovascular imaging interventions on these constructs. This article summarises evidence related to …

Effects Of Rumination And Co-Rumination On The Relationship Between Self-Efficacy And Depressive Symptoms, Evelyn G. Clement
Effects Of Rumination And Co-Rumination On The Relationship Between Self-Efficacy And Depressive Symptoms, Evelyn G. Clement
Honors College
Depressive symptoms have far-reaching and negative implications on both an individual and societal level, with college students generally considered to be a particularly vulnerable population in terms of risk for depressive symptoms. Two internal cognitive processes, self-efficacy, and rumination, as well as the interpersonal form of rumination, co-rumination, have all been uniquely linked to depressive symptoms. The literature linking these four constructs is not nearly as extensive as it is with any of the constructs uniquely relating to depressive symptoms. Rumination is related to lower levels of self-efficacy, but the interaction of self-efficacy and co-rumination as well as the effects …
