Fetal Heart Rate Self-Monitoring By Mothers In Labor, Mesfin Gebrekidan Zbelo
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Childbirth poses a significant risk, with many intrapartum stillbirths worldwide. In Lesotho, 35% of stillbirths occur during labor, predominantly due to birth asphyxia. Low midwife-to-laboring mother ratios result in insufficient adherence to standardized protocols for intrapartum fetal heart rate monitoring. In the intrapartum period, quality and respectful care during birth are crucial. The purpose of the study was to examine intrapartum outcomes and the impact of self-monitoring of electronic fetal heart rate on laboring mothers' use of a doppler. Catastrophe theory and the theory of access proposed by Penchansky and Thomas served as the theoretical frameworks. Logistic regression analysis revealed …

Improving The Teaching Effectiveness Of South African Educators As Inclusive Primary School Education Practitioners, Rashika Matthews
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
In 1996, government policies in South Africa required all educational institutions to align with human rights and equality. Public schools now operate as inclusive institutions. Thus, there exists a problem that after 23 years of policy implementation, South African educators continue to acknowledge their need for knowledge, skills, and training to support effective inclusive education. There is an educational imperative to identify the South African educators’ gap in knowledge and skills to improve their effectiveness as active, inclusive practitioners.

Social Media And Body Image With African American College Students Moderation Of Social Comparison, Khalil R. Coleman Ph.D.
Social Media And Body Image With African American College Students Moderation Of Social Comparison, Khalil R. Coleman Ph.D.
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Social media is a popular activity for emerging adults. Recent research shows that a negative relationship exists between social media use and mental health, particularly related to body image. Social media can adversely affect body image by falsely providing an idealistic or fake perspective, leading to body dysmorphia or mental health issues. However, this research has not been explored with African American college students. It is also not clear how social media plays a role in social media use and body image. Social comparison theory posits that more time comparing with others, which is easily done on social media, can …
