A Systematic Review Of Quality Of Life Assessment Tools For Adults With Intellectual And Developmental Disabilities, Brianne Leigh Conner

Public Administration ETDs

AIM: The quality of life (QOL) construct is proposed as a method to assess outcomes for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) at multiple levels. The aim of this research is to identify and systematically review QOL assessment tools for adults with all levels of I/DD that could be used within disability service systems to examine the micro (individual), meso (organizational), and macro (system) levels of QOL outcomes. METHOD: A systematic search of the disability and QOL literature published between 1990 and 2014 was conducted in order to identify QOL assessment tools that met the inclusion criteria. 35 articles …

The Malleability Of University Students' Beliefs, Values, And Attitudes In The Classroom Setting, Glory Emmanuel

Psychology ETDs

Beliefs, values, and attitudes (BVAs) are central to a persons identity and worldview but can be refined and influenced through the individual's surrounding environment and experience. The academic setting is one environment that impacts BVAs. This study examined if university students' BVAs are influenced over a semester by students' attributes, their professor, and the classroom context by testing three main hypotheses: 1) students demonstrate BVA change over time while professors' BVAs remain relatively stable over time; 2) students' attributes influence BVA change; and 3) students, especially those who have a positive experience in the class, assimilate to their professor's BVAs. …

Impact Of Meal Frequency On Appetite And Blood Markers Of Health In Obese Women Utilizing An Equi-Hypocaloric Diet During A Behavioral Weight Loss Intervention, Michelle Kulovitz

Health, Exercise, and Sports Sciences ETDs

Background: Obesity prevalence is a global pandemic and a public health concern. Beneficial weight loss strategies are needed for obesity management. Increased daily meal frequency (MF) is often associated with improvements in blood-markers of health and appetite control during weight loss; however, this has not been confirmed using portion-controlled meal products to reduce underreporting error. Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine if increased MF can be a beneficial treatment strategy for weight loss in obese women by determining the changes of total ghrelin, blood glucose, insulin, lipid concentrations, and sensations of hunger and satiety due to an …

Modeling Steric Effects In Antibody Aggregation Using Rule-Based Methods, Brittany Hoard

Nanoscience and Microsystems ETDs

The allergic response is produced by the release of immune mediators by mast cells and basophils. This process, in turn, is initiated by the aggregation of antigens and IgE-FcεRI antibody-receptor complexes. Computational modeling of antibody- antigen aggregate formation as well as the size and structure of these aggregates is an important tool for greater understanding of the allergic response. In addition, the incorporation of molecular geometry into aggregation models can more accurately capture details of the aggregation process, and may lead to insights into how geom- etry affects aggregate formation. However, it is challenging to simulate aggregation due to the …

This study utilized an appreciative inquiry interviewing framework approach in order to examine excellence in teaching from an affirmative perspective. This study began by introducing a Conceptual Framework: The Value of Community College Excellence in Teaching, which is designed to understand the potential of excellence in teaching from the viewpoint of human capital. The Conceptual Framework asserts that excellence in community college teaching has the capacity to improve student and family lives, resulting in …

Influence Of Social Capital On Community-Based Health Care Programs In Rural Papua New Guinea: An Ethnographic Study, Carol J. Bett

Nursing ETDs

This descriptive, ethnographic study explored the influence of cultural health beliefs and social capital on the adoption of community-based health care interventions by rural villages in Papua New Guinea. The development of local level resources that lead to improved health indices requires an awareness of both the cultural context and the relational components of social capital that link people within the community. Social capital has been defined as resources that are an inherent part of a social group and the elements of social organization such as trust, networks, and norms of reciprocity that facilitate mutual cooperation (Billings, 2000; Carpiano, 2006). …

A New Kind Of Therapeutic Relationship: Exploring Factors That Influence The Effectiveness Of Computer-Delivered Interventions For Alcohol Use Disorders, William P. Campbell Iv

Psychology ETDs

Computer-delivered interventions (CDI) for alcohol use comprise a relatively new treatment for individuals struggling with problematic drinking. While CDIs for alcohol misuse have proliferated over the last decade, much remains unknown about factors that influence their effectiveness. This study evaluated the performance of Overcoming Addictions (OA), a CDI based on the principles of SMART Recovery (SR). Subjects were drawn from a sample of 189 participants enrolled in a randomized clinical trial (RCT) that compared three and six-month outcomes for two interventions for problematic alcohol use: control participants were enrolled in SR meetings (face to face and/or online); experimental participants also …

Motivational Interviewing Treatment Integrity And Client Change: Using Roc Analysis To Explore The Relationship Between Mi Fidelity Level And Drinking Outcome., Daniel Fischer

Psychology ETDs

Those engaged in the research and practice of MI have shown interest in treatment adherence as an indicator of effective MI and have expressed curiosity in the threshold at which MI practice could be viewed as good enough'. The most widely used and often cited of MI integrity measures are the Motivational Interviewing Skills Code (MISC) and the Motivational Interviewing Treatment Integrity code (MITI). These adherence tools share similar descriptive coding systems for therapist in-session behavior. MI fidelity standards are often used as reference points for therapist performance, yet practitioners rarely meet full criteria. Further, substandard ratings have been associated …

Health Outcomes And Optimal Choices In Urban Areas In Response To Environmental Shocks And Changes In Forest Amenities, Benjamin Jones

Economics ETDs

Forests and trees may play important roles in human health outcomes and choices made by individuals in urban areas. Disruptions to forest amenities and tree canopy coverage caused by shocks to the natural environment may affect urban air quality, behavioral decisions, time use habits, and environmental management. This work exploits two distinct and unrelated shocks to forests in the United States to investigate the environmental and health economic links in urban areas between people and trees, and a proposed deeply ingrained role for environmental health in how people live, interact, optimize in their communities. The first chapter argues that environmental …

Examining Committed Action In Chronic Pain: Further Validation And Clinical Utility Of The Committed Action Questionnaire, Robert Bailey

Psychology ETDs

Behavioral interventions for chronic pain often emphasize altering behavior to maximize effective functioning, particularly by decreasing pain avoidance and increasing engagement with valued activities, a hallmark of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). In terms of salient processes within ACT, committed action is considered essential to the pursuit of a meaningful life. To date, however, only one study has examined the association between committed action and salient measures of functioning in the context of chronic pain treatment. The purpose of the present study was to further analyze the reliability of the CAQ in a separate sample of chronic pain patients, confirm …

Cancer Experience Modulates The Relationship Between Child And Parent Hypothalamic Pituiatary Adrenal (Hpa) Axis Functioning, Sarah Dinces

Psychology ETDs

Objective: We examine how parental stress and pediatric cancer might jointly predict child HPA function using a non-invasive method of cortisol assessment (hair samples). Methods: Parents and children from healthy control and pediatric cancer survivor families participated. Multilevel modeling was applied to data from a nested-design study (85 children, 5-18 years old, from 64 families, healthy controls: n=32; cancer survivors: n=32) to determine the relationship between parent salivary and child hair cortisol measures. Results: No main effect of the cancer experience on child cortisol was found. Parental cortisol positively correlated with child cortisol levels within healthy controls, while there was …
