Recognizing Anterior Cruciate Ligament Tears In Female Athletes: What Every Primary Care Practitioner Should Know, Sarah E. Hirst, Elin Armeau, Thomas Parish
Recognizing Anterior Cruciate Ligament Tears In Female Athletes: What Every Primary Care Practitioner Should Know, Sarah E. Hirst, Elin Armeau, Thomas Parish
Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice
Purpose: Women have a much higher rate of anterior cruciate ligament injury than men. Anterior cruciate ligament injuries are very expensive as well as physically and emotionally debilitating. Understanding why anterior cruciate ligament injuries are more prevalent in women as compared to men is crucial and addressing these issues to possibly prevent their high occurrence is important. Review of Literature: Hormonal differences, structural differences, musculature differences, and mechanical differences between men and women leave women more susceptible to anterior cruciate ligament injury. While there are many factors contributing to the higher rate of anterior cruciate ligament injury in women versus …

A Critique Of The Capacity Of Strauss’ Grounded Theory For Prediction, Change, And Control In Organisational Strategy Via A Grounded Theorisation Of Leisure And Cultural Strategy, Ali Bakir, Vian Bakir
A Critique Of The Capacity Of Strauss’ Grounded Theory For Prediction, Change, And Control In Organisational Strategy Via A Grounded Theorisation Of Leisure And Cultural Strategy, Ali Bakir, Vian Bakir
The Qualitative Report
In this paper we critique grounded theory’s ability to fulfil its aim of offering a practical vehicle for prediction, change, and control as stipulated in grounded theory’s original formulation by Glaser and Strauss, and later developed by Strauss. We do this through a case study approach, whereby we develop a grounded theory of leisure and cultural strategy within a local authority, and critically reflect on the process of grounded theorisation, together with its implications for generating practical tools in that most practical of academic fields; organisational strategy. We demonstrate that despite generating good grounded theory on leisure and cultural strategy, …

The Pre-Conceptual Map Methodology: Development And Application, Shellie Hipsky
The Qualitative Report
The objective of this article is to present the Pre-Conceptual Map methodology as a formalized way to identify, document, and utilize preconceived assumptions on the part of the researcher in qualitative inquiry. This technique can be used as a stand alone method or in conjunction with other qualitative techniques (i.e., naturalistic inquiry). This document explains how to utilize the process and includes specific examples based on a formal study of the pilot of The Drama Discovery Curriculum. The article highlights the Pre-Conceptual Map methodology for use by other researchers by examining: the need for the methodology, how it is related …
Negotiated Boundaries: Conceptual Locations Of Pregnancy And Childbirth, Shannon Houvouras
Negotiated Boundaries: Conceptual Locations Of Pregnancy And Childbirth, Shannon Houvouras
The Qualitative Report
Dominant notions of reproduction perceive childbearing as physical processes that take place within women’s bodies. This perception undermines non-physical components and removes men from the process. This project uses social constructionism to explore the locations women describe pregnancy and childbirth taking place in their childbearing narratives. Based on in-depth interviews with 15 mothers, findings reveal that women conceptualize childbearing as taking place in multiple locations: (1) within the female body, (2) within both the female body and a non-physical realm (e.g., emotional) of one or both partners, (3) detached from any particular location, and (4) within both partners’ bodies. Conceptualizing …
Southern Rural Public Schools: A Study Of Teacher Perspectives, Leah P. Mccoy
Southern Rural Public Schools: A Study Of Teacher Perspectives, Leah P. Mccoy
The Qualitative Report
This ethnography explores teachers’ perspectives of the cultural issues affecting academic performance in twelve public high schools in rural Mississippi and Louisiana. Fr om a thematic analysis of the tape-recorded interviews of forty-one mathematics teachers, five categories emerged, each comprising a qualitative aspect of teaching high school in an economically depressed area of the deep South: society, race, students, families, and schools. Each of these categories is discussed and explicated using exemplars from the interviews to show how each category emerged from the data. In addition, the relationships among these categories, which form a destructive cycle of poverty, low expectations, …

American Wartime Values In Historical Perspective: Full-Employment Mobilization Or Business As Usual, Timothy A. Canova
American Wartime Values In Historical Perspective: Full-Employment Mobilization Or Business As Usual, Timothy A. Canova
Faculty Scholarship
This paper explores the range of values implicated by war and compares today's dominant values with those that prevailed during previous American wars, with a particular emphasis on the World War Two and early Cold War period. War is related to values, and as economists like to remind us, what we value becomes apparent in the movement of people and prices. Part I of this Article considers the moral, ethical and monetary values that prevailed throughout the 1940's and early 1950's. The normative threads that kept the World War Two effort on track were those of mobilization and shared sacrifice. …

How Does A Child With Sensory Processing Problems Play?, Jeryl D. Benson, Meghana N. Nicka, Perri Stern
How Does A Child With Sensory Processing Problems Play?, Jeryl D. Benson, Meghana N. Nicka, Perri Stern
Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice
The occupation of play during one’s childhood years serves as a foundation for the development of future occupations in an individual’s life. By understanding a child’s extant play skills and deficits, one may then provide the necessary interventions needed to promote development and successful growth into new occupations. The purpose of this paper was to understand how a child with sensory processing deficits plays in a naturalistic environment. The findings revealed an interplay between the child’s underlying sensory processing deficits and his play skills and behaviors. Increased understanding of how a child with sensory processing deficits plays will provide information …

Approach To Medical Futility In A Community Hospital: Is Use Of A Prognostic Scoring System Applicable?, Sandra M. Terra
Approach To Medical Futility In A Community Hospital: Is Use Of A Prognostic Scoring System Applicable?, Sandra M. Terra
Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice
All acute care medical facilities and healthcare providers are faced with cases of medical futility. Guidance must ensure the initiation of communication with the patient or family regarding end of life planning. Identification of certain physiological features may provide impetus for such communication. In an effort to identify the physiological variables that may trigger discussion in a futile medical treatment policy, the application of a prognostic scoring system is examined. The Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation Score (APACHE II) system, a widely applied set of acute, chronic and diagnostic variables, is identified through literature review. This paper examines the …
Understanding Clinical Culture: Organizational Communication In The Clinical Practicum, S-A Welch
Understanding Clinical Culture: Organizational Communication In The Clinical Practicum, S-A Welch
Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice
In recent years, health practitioner educators and researchers have devoted an increasing amount of attention to the improvement of communication in the clinical setting. One aspect of communication--organizational communication--occupies relatively little space in practitioner education and research. Yet, contemporary clinical practice relies heavily upon organizational structures to facilitate the coordination of care. Understandably, overcrowded practitioner curricula may not accommodate the addition of explicit pedagogical material related to organizational communication. However, clinical instructors can help students understand and integrate into the organization of the clinical setting by introducing basic concepts of organizational communication. This can be through comments and questions during …
