A Whole New World: Exploring Coming Out Experiences Of International Students In The U.S., Rosalind M. Evans
Social Work Dissertations - Archive
The purpose of this study was to explore the coming out experiences of international students in the U.S. who identified on the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, and Queer (LGBTQ) spectrum. Between 2015 and 2016 there was a seven percent reported increase of international students studying in the United States (U.S.) (Institute of International Education [IIE], 2016). Although there are many reports of the increase in international students studying in the U.S. over the years and their experiences of challenges and achievement there is little to no research focused on international LGBTQ students’ experiences in the U.S. Furthermore, there is limited …

Contributions To Resilience: External Protective Factors And The Adolescent Birth Experience, Christina Hamilton
2017 Spring Honors Capstone Projects - Archive
Adolescent birth is a worldwide health concern. Despite efforts to decrease the rate of adolescent births, the United States has the highest among developed nations. The focus of past research has been the risks for adolescent birth and the negative impact birth has on adolescents. However, a positive birth experience can have a positive influence on outcomes for both mother and baby in adult populations. This cross-sectional study used the resiliency framework to describe the influence of support, positive infant outcomes, childbirth class attendance, and prenatal care as external protective factors on a positive rating of the birth experience among …

In an effort to learn from the past, this study describes how pregnant and homeless adolescents were treated socially and medically between 1900 and 1935, and how this knowledge informs current policies for homeless adolescent women. Primary and secondary historical sources were analyzed from the archives at the University of Texas Arlington, using the social determinants of health framework. Themes included financial dependence vs. independence, social stigma vs. self-esteem, social support vs. isolation, education, housing, and access to health …

Latinos With Diabetes: How Do Social, Psychological, And Cultural Factors Affect Health Outcomes?, Erika Ruiz
Social Work Dissertations - Archive
Diabetes has become one of the most common, costly, and preventable health problems diagnosed among all Americans (Centers for Disease Control [CDC], 2015a). Twenty-nine million individuals (9.3% of the population) have diabetes; this figure includes both diagnosed and undiagnosed diabetes cases (American Diabetes Association, 2014a,b). Diabetes is highly prevalent among Latinos in the United States; it is the fifth leading cause of death among this population (National Center for Health Statistics, 2011a). Yet, most people with diabetes do not die from diabetes per se; most people with diabetes die from cardiovascular disease. Given the large number of Latinos in the …

A Retrospective Exploration Of The Factors Affecting Domestic Violence Among A Sample Of Older African American Women: An Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis, Jacqueline Burse
Social Work Dissertations - Archive
African American women experience domestic violence at a rate that is 35% higher than the domestic violence rate of White women. Moreover, African American women encompass 8% of the U.S. population but account for 22% of domestic violence-related homicide victims. African American women are at greater risk for facing economic difficulties, homelessness, unemployment, and health and educational disparities due to domestic violence. However, little attention has been given to the lived experiences of older women who are domestic violence survivors. No extant literature related to the experiences of African American survivors of domestic violence from a retrospective lens was available, …
Understanding Mental Health Literacy Of Hispanic Patients In Primary Care Settings: Examining The Relationship Between Depression Stigma, Depression Knowledge, And Education Level, Veronica Lopez
Social Work Theses - Archive
Hispanics are less likely to access mental health care services due to stigma related to depression and lack of cultural effective education, along with other socioeconomic factors. Hispanics are more likely to access care through a primary care provider, making a primary care setting with an integrative behavioral health program an ideal place for early mental health interventions. Understanding the mental health literacy of patients in a healthcare setting may improve quality of care, that can lead to early detection of mental illness and can help engage a patient into treatment. The present study seeks to add to the research …

The goal of this qualitative dissertation is to explore why some international adoptions result in dissolution. I attempt to answer this question through the experiences of American parents who adopted children internationally and experienced dissolution of an adoption. The objective of the research is to expand existing knowledge concerning international adoption disruption because the topic is extremely understudied. Factors examined are: aspects contributing to adoption dissolution as described in existing literature; historical perspectives on adoption, including international adoption; effectiveness of adoption services as ways to enhance adoption outcome; proposed methodological approaches for adoption dissolution research; and results of the study. …

Exploring Moral Distress For Hospital Social Workers, Sophia Fantus, Rebecca A. Greenberg, Barbara Muskat, Dana Katz
Social Work Faculty Publications & Presentations-Archive
The purpose of this paper is to elucidate the concept of moral distress in hospital social work. Moral distress evolves from an ethical dilemma, wherein an individual is unable to implement a course of action perceived to be morally right. Moral distress is an integrity compromising experience, resulting in conflict between one’s personal, professional and organisational values. To our knowledge, no research has been conducted exploring the manifestation of moral distress in hospital social work. Our intention is to describe the concept of moral distress and theorise how this ethical phenomenon transpires in the field of hospital social work. Moral …

An Exploration Of The Relationship Between Supervision And Job Satisfaction Factors Among Residence Directors And Resident Assistants, Stephen A. Berg
Educational Leadership & Policy Studies Dissertations - Archive
Supervising Resident Assistants (RAs) on college campuses is one of the most critical roles of housing staff members.

In this study, the relationship between perceived levels of synergistic supervision, training, and job satisfaction factors was examined among residence directors (RDs) and RAs. The researcher sought to fill this gap the in the …
