Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Nurse turnover rates in long-term care facilities, specifically in California nursing homes, are among the most pressing issues for the quality of patient care and nursing homes’ operational costs. The purpose of this integrative review was to reveal effective ways to improve job satisfaction, decrease turnover intention, and increase retention rates among nursing staff in California nursing homes. This study focused on the critical issue of turnover in healthcare administration, grounded by Herzberg’s motivation–hygiene theory, which stated that job satisfaction was the fundamental problem causing high staff turnover, and it suggested that hygiene and motivation factors may affect employee turnover. …

Implicit Biases And Attitudes On Decision Making Among Child Protection Workers, Demetria Turnage
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Racial disproportionality remains a historical issue in child welfare systems. It was important for this research to focus on characteristics, professional qualifications, and racial attitudes of those in child welfare decision-making roles to examine how they contributed to racism. To address the gap in the literature, the relationship between years of experience, race/ethnicity, risk of harm, advocacy, racial attitudes, and decision-making among child protection were examined to develop a greater understanding of the ongoing issues and development of reforming the child welfare decision-making process to capture racism among child protection workers. Increasing equality in the child welfare system will benefit …

The Extent That Self-Compassion And Well-Being Predict Burnout In Online Clinical Psychology Phd Students, Tiffany Thompson
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Online clinical psychology doctoral students simultaneously experience stressful environments while managing school and life. These stressful experiences can lead to burnout. The concepts of self-compassion and well-being are intertwined with success and burnout. Previous research has indicated that burnout is likely to occur; however, a lack of research has identified specific factors that collectively predict burnout in online clinical psychology doctoral students. Thus, a gap in the current literature regarding burnout using these variables and within clinical psychology PhD students remains to be addressed. This quantitative study investigated the impact of self-compassion and well-being on burnout levels among online clinical …

The purpose of this qualitative study was to examine women’s perspectives on public transportation.The research question guiding this study asked women to discuss their safety experiences and needs related to existing public transportation policy. Cooley’s theory of transportation and Friedman’s public safety theory formed the conceptual framework for this study. Purposeful sampling was used to …

Factors Affecting African Americans’ Participation In Alzheimer’S Disease Clinical Trials, Morounsayo Abimbola Awosika-Olumo
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Racial minority U.S. populations are underrepresented in clinical trials. Ensuring people from diverse backgrounds join clinical trials is key to advancing health equity. Participants in clinical trials should represent the patients’ population. The purpose of this quantitative study was to assess the association of individual-level factors (age, sex, marital status, family history of Alzheimer’s disease, living arrangement), health-related factors (smoking and alcohol), and socioeconomic status (years of education, employment status, health insurance status) and the interest in clinical trial participation among African Americans (AAs). The theoretical foundation that grounded this study was the health belief model. Secondary data from 214 …

Preparing For The Next Pandemic: Helpful Strategies For Hospital Managers, Lynesha Sweeney
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
During the rapid spread of the coronavirus in 2020, some hospital managers lacked strategies to support and treat the number of patients falling ill daily. Effective strategies to support and treat patients during the next pandemic are important to hospital managers because insufficient access to quality healthcare services can be harmful to community citizens and detrimental to hospital sustainability. Grounded in the resource-based theory, the purpose of this qualitative pragmatic inquiry was to explore strategies some hospital managers have created and implemented to be prepared for future pandemics within their facilities. The participants were six healthcare leaders working in roles …
