The conditions included prolonged periods of isolation and reduced interactions between caregivers and loved ones. Therefore, it is important to understand the experiences of older adults living in facilities and their ability to adapt to the environment. The research question addressed in this study gained insight into the effects of mandated isolation on older adults. Using …
Strategies To Address Employee Concerns About Workplace Wellness Program Privacy In School Districts, Kimberly Rivers-Blackmon
Strategies To Address Employee Concerns About Workplace Wellness Program Privacy In School Districts, Kimberly Rivers-Blackmon
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Although workplace wellness programs (WWPs) reduce healthcare costs and work-related illnesses and increase employee retention and productivity, approximately one-half of employees with access to these programs do not use them because of privacy concerns. School districts risk increased employee turnover and reduced productivity if employees do not participate in WWPs, increasing education delivery costs. Grounded in communication privacy management theory, the purpose of this qualitative pragmatic inquiry was to identify and explore strategies used by WWP administrators in Georgia, USA, school districts to address employee concerns about privacy successfully. Data were collected from six WWP administrators from school districts in …

State-Level Reimbursement Parity And Adoption Of Telehealth Services By Health Services Organizations, Sabrie Jalisa Satterwhite
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
This study was conducted to investigate payment parity as a significant barrier in telehealth adoption by health services organizations (HSOs) in the United States. Ambulatory services have been a preference for Medicaid and Medicare and private payers. However, telemedicine is a platform that presents massive potential in expanding access and quality of care, while boosting healthcare management by significant margins. This study was conducted to explore how reimbursement parity impacts HSO adoption of telehealth services. The micro-meso-macro analytical framework for understanding patient-reported outcomes was used as the theoretical foundation for the project. The research question sought to establish if there …

The Relationship Between Magnet And Non-Magnet Designated Sites And Severe Maternal Morbidity For New Jersey Hospitals, Adrienne L. Elberfeld
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
For the past 25 years U.S. health care providers have reported higher than expected severe maternal morbidity (SMM). Magnet status is a designation through the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC). Studies indicate that hospitals with Magnet recognition provide better patient care resulting in better quality outcomes. The recent COVID-19 pandemic (COVID-19) created a global-wide disruption, presenting new systemic challenges for U.S. health care providers in providing accessible, timely patient health services. The purpose of this study was to determine if there is a statistically significant difference between Magnet and non-Magnet hospitals in New Jersey (NJ) for SMM rates during COVID-19 …
Relationship Between Health Education Systems Incorporated Admission Assessment Scores And Student Completion Of A Baccalaureate Nursing Program, Colleen Peace
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Math, reading, and vocabulary comprehension are important skills needed to ensure nursing students have a solid foundation on which to develop critical thinking skills to complete a nursing program. One of the common preadmission standardized tests is the Health Education Systems Incorporated Admission Assessment (HESI A2), but little research had been conducted to determine whether there is a correlation between the score on the HESI A2 and readiness to master nursing courses at the bachelor of science in nursing (BSN) level and completion of the BSN program. The purposes of this quantitative retrospective study, guided by Jeffreys’s nursing undergraduate retention …

School Counselor's Experiences In Providing Services To High School Students Enrolled In Accelerated Academic Programs, Pamela Denise Gardner
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Students enrolled in accelerated academic programs are not immune to mental health concerns that other students may face. Despite the increasing evidence that perfectionism is correlated with psychological distress among adolescents, there is a gap in the literature on how interventions developed for use in adolescent populations may affect this relationship. Knowledge of the influence, if any, of interventions may help school counselors to better understand these students’ experiences and counseling requirements. The purpose of this qualitative, phenomenological study was to learn more about counselors’ experiences with students in accelerated academic programs. The participants comprised eight counselors recruited from a …
