Chief Information Security Officers Strategies For Minimizing Cybersecurity Attacks, Jerrell Riggins
Chief Information Security Officers Strategies For Minimizing Cybersecurity Attacks, Jerrell Riggins
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Cyberattacks pose a significant threat to corporate operations that depend on computer networks to carry out everyday operations. Technology leaders are concerned about the growing use of ransomware, social engineering, and phishing by cybercriminals to steal data and engage in identity theft, along with the negative impact of cyberattacks on business sustainability. Grounded in protection motivation theory, the purpose of this pragmatic inquiry was to identify and explore the cybersecurity strategies technology leaders used to mitigate cyberattacks that could disrupt their business operational services. The project participants were six technology leaders who used their cybersecurity strategies to mitigate cyberattacks that …

Nursing Staff Retention, Turnover Intention, And Job Satisfaction In California Nursing Home Facilities, Dr. Selene E.A Laws
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. …

Instructional Strategies That Support Student Achievement With The Eureka Algebra 1 Curriculum, Honnalora Hill
Instructional Strategies That Support Student Achievement With The Eureka Algebra 1 Curriculum, Honnalora Hill
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Numerous states use research-based mathematics curricula as a teaching tool to enhance mathematics performance outcomes on state assessment scores. Despite implementation of the Eureka curriculum, students at the study site were still struggling to master Algebra 1 skills sufficiently to pass the Louisiana state exam. The aim of this basic qualitative study was to explore strategies teachers employed while implementing the Eureka curriculum to increase student achievement. The study was guided by Vygotsky’s zone of proximal development (ZPD) theoretical framework and involved semi-structured interviews with 12 participants who had been teaching Algebra 1 with the Eureka curriculum for at least …

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
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.

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 …

Assessing The Uptake Of Biosimilar Insulin Glargine Among Physicians For The Treatment Of Diabetes In South Africa, Euganthri Pillay
Assessing The Uptake Of Biosimilar Insulin Glargine Among Physicians For The Treatment Of Diabetes In South Africa, Euganthri Pillay
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
In South Africa, diabetes is a serious problem where 1 in 9 adults has diabetes, making it the country with the highest diabetes prevalence on the African continent. Even though insulin is an absolute necessity for treating diabetes, it is unaffordable to millions. Biosimilar insulins, however, are innovative medicines that are similar but not exact copies of the originator insulin, making alternative treatment affordable to patients. The problem is that, in South Africa, it is still not known whether patients have access to biosimilar insulin in a country where diabetes is rampant. The diffusion of innovation theory was used to …

Exploring Associations Between Poverty, Race/Ethnicity, Gender, And Childhood Obesity In Cherokee County, South Carolina, Lillie Mae Hall
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Childhood obesity (CHO) rates have increased significantly worldwide over the last decade. The magnitude of CHO extends beyond physical health to include economic stability, social connections, and access to daily living resources. CHO is complex and requires a multifaceted approach that may differ from traditional prevention approaches and treatment. Over the years, interventions have focused on maintaining a balance of healthy eating and active living to reduce weight and promote lifelong behavior change. Body mass index (BMI) surveillance studies have been conducted in Cherokee County, South Carolina since 2012 to assess and inform CHO interventions. However, the data have not …
