Using Multi-Theory Model (Mtm) To Predict Intention To Promote Physical Activity By Primary Care Providers, Shirley Mcclendon
Using Multi-Theory Model (Mtm) To Predict Intention To Promote Physical Activity By Primary Care Providers, Shirley Mcclendon
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Physical inactivity persists as a public health concern worldwide and results in more than a million deaths per year. This modifiable behavior can result in improved health when primary care providers (PCPs) communicate recommendations to patients and behavior change is supported. In this study, a quantitative cross-sectional design was used to investigate the intentions of PCPs in providing physical activity counseling, using the constructs of the multi-theory model (MTM) of health behavior change as the theoretical framework. An anonymous 37-item electronic survey was administered to participants practicing primary care and family medicine from rural areas in the Southeastern region of …
African American Baby Boomers’ Lived Experiences In Skilled Nursing Facilities For Post-Acute Care Admissions, Dr. Charles A. Fraiser
African American Baby Boomers’ Lived Experiences In Skilled Nursing Facilities For Post-Acute Care Admissions, Dr. Charles A. Fraiser
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
AbstractPrevious studies have examined the quality of elderly healthcare offered in skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) among older adults, in general, but the studies have not emphasized ex-periences unique to African America baby boomers and the factors they consider when making SNF-related decisions for post-acute care. The purpose of the study was to exam-ine the lived experiences of African American baby boomers who are currently in or have been treated in SNFs for post-acute care to learn about their decisions to select an SNF. Andersen’s behavioral model of health services served as the conceptual framework. A descriptive phenomenological qualitative design was …
Experiences Of Hurricane-Related Events Among Campus Leadership Of Southeastern U.S. Universities, Clarissa E. Henry
Experiences Of Hurricane-Related Events Among Campus Leadership Of Southeastern U.S. Universities, Clarissa E. Henry
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Over the last 10 years, institutes of higher learning (IHLs) in the southeastern United States have endured natural disasters that have caused flooding, water, and wind damage and resulted in student evacuations, class disruptions, and building damage. IHLs are further challenged with resuming campus operations despite the emotional impact resulting after a natural disaster occurs. There is limited research relative to the experiences of campus leadership who share the responsibility of keeping students, visitors, and university artifacts safe during and after a hurricane-related event. This research study served as a qualitative phenomenological assessment of campus leadership experiences during a post-hurricane-related …
Student Physical Therapy Supervision And Physical Therapy Productivity In Skilled Nursing Facilities, Dionne Degrande
Student Physical Therapy Supervision And Physical Therapy Productivity In Skilled Nursing Facilities, Dionne Degrande
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Physical therapy (PT) educational programs are faced with the problem of securing thenecessary clinical experiences for their students, particularly in long-term care settings. Student physical therapists (SPTs) must complete clinical education requirements to graduate and transition from learner to entry-level practitioner. Clinical instructors (CIs) provide SPT supervision and are responsible for meeting industry-standard productivity expectations. There is the notion that SPTs negatively impact PT productivity, creating a reluctance for organizations to host SPTs for clinical experiences. This quantitative pilot study aimed to determine if there was a statistically significant difference between PT productivity with and without SPTs in skilled nursing …
Examining The Relationship Between Patient Care Quality, Patient Care Safety, And Socioeconomic Status In Chicago's Acute Care Hospitals, Theresa Ann Doby
Examining The Relationship Between Patient Care Quality, Patient Care Safety, And Socioeconomic Status In Chicago's Acute Care Hospitals, Theresa Ann Doby
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
AbstractEnsuring high quality and safe patient care are among the main goals of all acute care hospitals. This study found that quality of patient care is not consistent across all patient populations, which draws attention to the issue of disparity in access to safe and quality health care. The purpose research questions of this quantitative study examined if patient care quality and safety are related to hospitals’ socioeconomic status (SES) among Chicago’s acute care hospitals. Secondary data were derived from a sample of 20 acute care hospitals (i.e., 10 acute care hospitals of high SES and 10 of low SES) …

Examination Of Exposure Types Association With Stigma And Impacts On Sharps Injury Reporting In Ambulatory Surgical Centers, Timothy William Lynch
Examination Of Exposure Types Association With Stigma And Impacts On Sharps Injury Reporting In Ambulatory Surgical Centers, Timothy William Lynch
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Public health depends on the efficiency of work delivery among healthcare workers (HCWs) and their positive goal orientation in healthcare. Effective minimizing of needlestick and sharp injuries (NSSIs) and timely reporting are fundamental to meeting public health goals. The specific research problem addressed through this study is whether the independent variable of exposure type (needle stick injury, splash exposure injury, other sharp injuries) has an association with stigma associated with sharps injury reporting (dependent variable) among HCWs in ambulatory surgical centers. A quantitative, cross-sectional design involving secondary data analysis was used. Regression was used to analyze pre- and post-workshop survey …

Providing Health Care To Patients With Intellectual And Developmental Disability During Covid-19, Pauline Andrea Park-Maxwell
Providing Health Care To Patients With Intellectual And Developmental Disability During Covid-19, Pauline Andrea Park-Maxwell
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
AbstractThis project sought to enhance the care offered in a local clinic to individuals with an intellectual and developmental disability (IDD) during the COVID-19 pandemic. Individuals with IDD are faced with the challenges of coping with some social conditions. Mainly waiting for extended periods in a doctor’s office can be challenging. To reduce this population’s waiting time, a staff education program was developed to address this concern. Currently, this local clinic did not have a prescreening exercise that would meet the needs of this population. This DNP project aimed to develop a staff education program for staff in a primary …

Examining The Relationship Between Time Spent On Tasks, Job Responsibilities, And Job Satisfaction Among Nurse Practitioners, Iasia E. Owens
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Managing patient care with the help of nurse practitioners is an expanding trend in healthcare and achieving job satisfaction is a priority for these professionals. The purpose of this quantitative study was to examine two research questions and the associated variables concerning the relationship between time spent on tasks, job responsibilities, and job satisfaction among nurse practitioners. Conway’s role theory, which is used to explore and predict behaviors of workers in certain roles, informed this study. Data were derived from the 2017 National Survey of Nurse Practitioners and 972 participants were included. Correlation and linear regression analyses were used to …
