Social work is a complex field, with the roles and responsibilities of social workers often unclear. This ambiguity can lead to low self-efficacy and hinder effective collaboration with other disciplines, which can negatively impact patient care. The purpose of this quantitative study is to explore the relationship between the occupational self-efficacy of medical social workers, level of experience and social workers’ perceptions of interdisciplinary collaboration when managing patients with co-occurring chronic pain and opioid use disorder. The theoretical framework that guided this study is Bandura’s self-efficacy theory. The conceptual framework for this research is Bronstein’s model of interdisciplinary collaboration. The …
Perspectives Of Probation Officers On Training To Support Women Who Commit Co-Occurring Crimes, Cynthia Stephens
Perspectives Of Probation Officers On Training To Support Women Who Commit Co-Occurring Crimes, Cynthia Stephens
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
The lack of understanding about probation officers’ (POs’) training views, especially concerning female offenders, reduces training and reentry effectiveness for female criminals. This study investigated POs’ perspectives on their training to assist women with co-occurring offenses by developing a practical intervention framework to improve reentry outcomes. The labeling and dual-role relationship theories served as the theoretical foundation to answer the research question, which involved identifying the perspectives of POs on training to support women with co-occurring crimes. A phenomenological design and in-depth face-to-face PO interviews were appropriate to answer the research question. Thematic analysis occurred to identify key concepts revealed …

The practice-focused question was: How does a hand hygiene intervention program, grounded in the theoretical domains framework, impact hand hygiene compliance among behavioral healthcare workers in inpatient psychiatric units? The purpose of the project was to evaluate the effect of a hand hygiene intervention program on compliance rates among behavioral healthcare workers in inpatient …
Narratives Of Black College Students With Disabilities: Experiences With Disability Services Attending Predominately White Institutions (Pwis), Sade Beaulieu
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Literature exploring the stories of Black college students with disabilities is sparse. Given the lack of this population’s storied experiences, disability counselors on college campuses may not be effectively accommodating, integrating, and engaging these students, providing adequate and necessary support to them. The purpose of this Qualitative study was to give a voice to marginalized Black college students with disabilities who have been underrepresented in the literature. Critical Race Theory (CRT) and narrative inquiry (NI) served as the theoretical and conceptual frameworks to guide this study.

Social Support And Treatment Outcomes Among Multi-Drug Resistant Tuberculosis And Persons Living With Hiv In Nigeria, Abiodun Olusegun Hassan
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
An estimated 40% of people with tuberculosis (TB) are missed due to underdiagnosis, and among those previously treated TB cases, about a quarter develop drug-resistant TB in Nigeria. The emergence of multi-drug-resistant TB (MDR-TB) is stalling the effort towards TB’s control and eradication. Few studies have examined the impact of the psychosocial effect and support systems for TB, particularly for MDR-TB. In this quantitative, cross-sectional study, the predictive relationship between social support given to MDR-TB patients and their treatment outcomes was examined using secondary data of 594 MDR-TB cases enrolled between January 2018 and December 2021.

A Narrative Policy Framework Analysis Of Lgbtq+ Adoptive Fathers’ Experiences In Georgia, Seft George Hunter
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
LGBTQ+ individuals continue to face systemic discrimination and inconsistent policies when seeking to adopt, despite legal advancements and growing public support. Existing research has primarily focused on lesbian mothers or broadly on same-sex couples, with limited attention to LGBTQ+ fathers, especially those living in politically conservative states like Georgia. This gap in the literature limits the understanding of their adoption experiences and the development of responsive policies.

Arab Americans’ Views Of Arab Lobbying Efforts Related To The Palestinian-Israeli Conflict, Samar Farha
Arab Americans’ Views Of Arab Lobbying Efforts Related To The Palestinian-Israeli Conflict, Samar Farha
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Research on ethnic lobbying has largely neglected the perspectives of Arab Americans, creating a disconnect between this community and their lobbying efforts. This gap is crucial because it threatens to widen the disconnect between Arab Americans and their lobbying groups, where effective lobbying depends on a unified message. Existing studies highlight this gap, pointing out the lack of unified organization and ongoing resource constraints that limit the influence of Arab American lobbyists on U.S. foreign policy. The purpose of this generic qualitative was to explore Arab Americans’ perceptions of their lobbying efforts and the factors shaping these perceptions based on …

Policymakers’ Perceptions About Providing Affordable Housing In Rural Georgia, Robert Joseph Wiley
Policymakers’ Perceptions About Providing Affordable Housing In Rural Georgia, Robert Joseph Wiley
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
The literature showed that low-income households face a persistent deficit of affordable housing, forcing these families to live in dilapidated housing or to live beyond their means to pay for adequate housing, and that this problem transcends rural and urban counties. Further, researchers indicated that solving this problem provided a stable workforce and a better quality of life for all income groups. A gap in the literature showed the need for more research on nonmetropolitan communities addressing housing and neighborhood revitalization; therefore, through this qualitative multiple-case study local policymakers' perceptions of the affordable housing problem in rural Georgia were explored. …

Forging Sustainable Retention Strategies For Medical-Surgical Registered Nurses In Rural Texas Hospitals, Yvette Eartha Stephenson
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Background: Health care delivery in rural medical-surgical units is significantly hindered by nurse shortages, particularly in underserved areas. While various approaches to retention have been studied, there remains a lack of focus on sustainable strategies explicitly tailored for rural settings. Purpose: In this integrative review, guided by the situational leadership theory (SLT) framework, sustainable nurse retention strategies for rural medical-surgical units were investigated. The SLT emphasizes four leadership components, supporting, delegating, directing, and coaching, which were the foundation for categorizing themes and subthemes in this analysis. Method: A review of peer-reviewed literature published between 2019 and 2024 was conducted while …

Patient-Family-Centered Care Initiatives To Improve Patient Experience In A Healthcare System In North Carolina, Lisa R. Wood
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Background: As the focus of healthcare has changed from quantity to quality, hospitals must align their mission, aiming to achieve an exceptional patient experience.
