Sibling Conflict And Caregiving For Aging Parents, Jennifer Elise Lawer

Department of Conflict Resolution Studies Theses and Dissertations

This dissertation presents the results of a grounded theory study of the key factors of sibling conflict when caregiving for an aging parent.

The dissertation includes a discussion of how birth order theories, power theories and psychodynamic theories apply to sibling conflict. In addition, I discuss how the findings apply to conflict resolution skills and offer …

The research I explored was: What are the similarities and differences among and between ombuds in employment environments of higher education, the public or private sector, and the federal government? To address this question, I presented comprehensive case study profiles on a total of 8 organizations: 3 in higher education, 3 in the federal government, …

This dissertation was conducted using a qualitative content analysis (QCA) of documents from the Palm Beach County Sexual Assault Response Team (PBC SART), …

Qualitative Comparative Case Study Exploring The Interpersonal And Intrapersonal Conflicts Experienced By Nurses While Utilizing Ehr-Electronic Health Record Technology, Patricia Alejandra Casas

Department of Conflict Resolution Studies Theses and Dissertations

Nurses are the largest group of health information technology system users. As the nurses are the focal point of patient care because they interact with multiple areas under the healthcare realm and manage multiple components of patient care, the use of EHR technology is likely to have an impact on their careers and healthcare delivery outcomes. Conflicts experienced during EHR use or adoption have been researched; however, despite these studies, understanding nurses’ experiences of conflicts remain underexplored; in particular, there have been no research studies that have differentiated between interpersonal and intrapersonal conflicts experienced.

An Assessment Of The Impacts Of Social Media Inputs And Court Case Information On Mitigating Insider Threats, Robert Jones

CCAC Theses and Dissertations

The insider threat is a global problem that impacts organizations and produces a gamut of undesired outcomes. Businesses often experience lost revenue and stolen trade secrets, which can leave a tarnished reputation. Insider threats can also cause harm to individuals and national security. Past efforts have not mitigated the problem in its entirety. Documented instances of insider threats are as recent as March 2020. Many researchers have focused on monitoring technologies and relying on human monitoring in a reactive posture. An ideal solution would scrutinize an individual’s character and ascertain whether unique traits associated with actors of insider threats are …


Auditory Feedback In Integrated Development Environments To Provide Cognitive Support For Novice Developers, Henry F. Bruckman Vargas Jan 2021

Auditory Feedback In Integrated Development Environments To Provide Cognitive Support For Novice Developers, Henry F. Bruckman Vargas

CCAC Theses and Dissertations

Integrated development environments (IDEs) are tools used in cognitive-intensive tasks such as problem-solving and programming. Their complexity, along with a lack of adequate cognitive support, constitutes a steep learning-curve that contributes to high dropout rates for computer science students and subpar performance for novice and professional programmers alike. Even though auditory feedback — a key form of cognitive support — has been proven to improve performance, usability, and communication of information between users and their tools, IDEs today lack this feature. In this paper, we propose the use of auditory feedback to assist cognitive support in IDEs, particularly the use …

Black Couples Filtering Their Love Stories Through The Use Of Social Media, Jeff Rocker

Department of Family Therapy Dissertations and Applied Clinical Projects

Black couples' use of social media for expressing their emotions needs to be explored to help them develop their narratives without external pressure. Narrative therapy is used to understand the difficulties ofholding on to unique personal narratives and preferred futures in the context of a hostile dominant discourse. The Black community has a long history of oppression, which makes their stories significant. Thus, social media posts by successful Black couples can be helpful in developing a new theory explaining personal narratives of Black couples in an online environment. These narratives provide information regarding themost common problems faced by Black people …

Experiences Of Incarcerated Young Men In Equine-Facilitated Psychotherapy: An Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis, Cynthia Vanessa Penalva

Department of Family Therapy Dissertations and Applied Clinical Projects

In 2018, 14,000 young people between the ages of 11 and 18 were incarcerated in the United States (Fosler, 2018). Incarcerated are more likely than non-incarcerated youth to experience anxiety, depression, violence, and behavior issues. While mental health treatment facilities often provide resources such as continuing education, General Education Development, vocational training, and talk therapy services (Florida Department of Juvenile Justice, 2019), Equine-FacilitatedPsychotherapy (EFP) is a relatively unexplored intervention for this population. The increasing need for innovative mental health services tailored to specific client populations has inspired collaborations among community professionals seeking to deliver high-impact interventions. One such community effort …

This project was initiated to develop, execute and evaluate a comprehensive kangaroo care program in a level 4 NICU.
