Authentic Leadership In Illness Blogs: What We Can Learn From Jaw Surgery Bloggers, Marilyn Mitchell

Marilyn Mitchell

This paper argues that authentic leadership theory provides a useful model for explaining the communication of orthognathic or jaw surgery bloggers. Previous studies concluded that illness blogs can empower patients, but no research considered any leadership theory as a model for blogging. For this study, 24 publicly available blogs were analyzed to find expressions that demonstrated each of the four components of authentic leadership, which are self-awareness, relational transparency, communication based upon an internalized moral perspective, and balanced processing of information. The research also analyzed blog comments to find expressions that demonstrated followers’ development of the positive psychological capacities of …

Segmenting Human Trajectory Data By Movement States While Addressing Signal Loss And Signal Noise, Sungsoon Hwang, Cynthia Vandemark, Navdeep Dhatt, Sai Yalla, Ryan Crews

Sungsoon Hwang

This paper considers the problem of partitioning an individual GPS

trajectory data into homogeneous, meaningful segments such as

stops and trips. Signal loss and signal noise are highly prevalent in

human trajectory data, and it is challenging to deal with uncertainties

in segmentation algorithms. We propose a new trajectory

segmentation algorithm that detects stop segments in a noiserobust

manner from GPS data with time gaps. The algorithm consists

of three steps that impute time gaps, split data into base

segments and estimate states over a base segment. The statedependent

path interpolation was proposed as a framework for

gap imputation to …

The Nurse’S Role In Addressing Barriers To Cancer Screening Of African Americans: An Integrative Literature Review, Joseph D. Tariman Phd

Joseph D Tariman PhD, RN, ANP-BC, FAAN

Background: While investigations into racial cancer disparities have been conducted since cancer screening practices have begun, there are few studies that address barriers to cancer screening behaviors in African Americans particularly within the perspective of nursing. This concept is of particular concern because nurses have an opportunity and responsibility to impact the overall incidence and mortality of cancers.

Objective: The purposes of this integrative literature review were to simultaneously identify various barriers to early cancer detection and screening behaviors among African Americans and to evaluate the nursing interventions constituting the nurse’s role in overcoming these barriers.

Method: Research articles were …

Joseph D Tariman PhD, RN, ANP-BC, FAAN

Background: With increasing awareness and legal issues on physician-assisted suicide (PAS) sweeping across the nation in today’s society, it is important to investigate the predominant opinions, beliefs and attitudes of American nurses toward PAS, as it will have significant implications for nursing practice.

Objectives: The purpose of this integrative literature review (ILR) was to determine the predominant perspective of nurses, including their opinions, beliefs and attitudes, regarding PAS suicide.

Method: An integrative literature review was conducted utilizing the following databases accessed through the DePaul University Library – CINAHL Complete, PubMed, PsycINFO, Academic Search Complete, ProQuest Dissertations and Thesis, …

Nurses’ Rights Of Medication Administration: Including Authority With Accountability And Responsibility

Linda A. Treiber

Medication errors continue to occur too frequently in the United States. Although the five rights of medication administration have expanded to include several others, evidence that the number of errors has decreased is missing. This study suggests that medication rights for nurses as they administer medications are needed. The historical marginalization of the voice of nurses has been perpetuated with detrimental impacts to nurses and patients. In recent years, a focus on the creation of a just culture, with a balance of accountability and responsibility, has sought to bring a fairer and safer construct to the healthcare environment. This paper …

Where Do You Want To Live? A Pilot Study To Establish Housing Preferences Of Young Adults With Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Disorders, Autism Spectrum Disorder, An Traumatic Brain Injury., Julie Elaine N. Irish, Noorh Aldadi, Marilyn J. Bruin

Julie Elaine Irish

Young adults with neurodevelopmental brain disorders such as Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Disorders (FASD), Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) are often provided with unsuitable public housing that is not tailored to support their differences, needs, and wants. This poster illustrates a pilot research project to survey young adults in this population to find out what their preferences are in terms of where and how they would like to live.

Background:HIV RNA is identified in cerebrospinalfluid (CSF) within eightdays of estimated viral exposure. Neurological findings and impaired neuropsychological testing performance are documented in a subset of individuals with acuteHIV infection (AHI). The purpose of this study was to determine whether microstructural white matter and resting-state functional connectivity (rsFC) are disruptedin AHI.

Methods:We examined 49 AHI (100% male; mean age = 30 ± SD 9.9) and 23 HIV-uninfected Thai participants (78% male; age = 30 ± 5.5) with diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and rsFC acquired at 3 Tesla, and four neuropsychological tests (summarized as NPZ-4). MRI for the AHI group was …
