Predictors Of Older Adults' Confidence In Avoiding Drug Interactions, Ginalynn Cabanas Garces
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Adverse drug interactions due to polypharmacy pose a significant global health concern, particularly for older adults. Age-related physiological changes increase vulnerability to medication-related issues, with adverse drug reactions often mistaken for normal aging. These misdiagnoses can lead to prescribing cascades and preventable harm. Despite evidence supporting comprehensive medication reviews and clinical guidelines, their application remains inconsistent across healthcare settings. This quantitative archival analysis aimed to identify critical risk factors—such as age, sex, race, education level, medication complexity, drug interaction discussions, number of prescriptions, and overall physical and mental health—that influence older adults’ confidence in avoiding drug interactions. Grounded in the …

Improving Financial Employee Organizational Commitment During Post-Merger Integration, Natalie Yve Cote Canestro
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) remain a top growth strategy for organizational leaders. However, the success of these initiatives is often undermined during post-merger integration (PMI) due to challenges in aligning organizational cultures, processes, and employee commitment. A lack of focus on enhancing employees’ organizational commitment (OC) during this critical phase can lead to disengagement, resistance to change, decreased productivity, and higher turnover rates. The purpose of the pragmatic inquiry was to explore how financial managers enhance their employees’ OC during PMI through the Leader-Member Exchange (LMX) framework. Data were collected through semistructured interviews of six financial managers. Data were then …
