Perceptions Of False Acceptance Of Guilt Or Punishment Within Military Non-Judicial System, Jennifer Rockwell
Perceptions Of False Acceptance Of Guilt Or Punishment Within Military Non-Judicial System, Jennifer Rockwell
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
An innocent individual falsely accepting guilt and punishment for something they did not do confounds society at large. This research expands upon the literature studying false confessions and false guilty pleas within the civilian courts to the particulars of the military judicial system and specifically that of the non-judicial system. Understanding the possibility for false acceptance of guilt and punishment within this system can lead to process or program changes that would benefit both the military in general and the individual members of the military. Social influence theory along with social role theory and social norms theory forms the foundation …

Simulation Education To Improve Confidence Levels In Using Alternative Methods Of Restraint With Children On An Inpatient Psychiatric Unit, Roshni Patel
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Summary Seclusion and restraints, while sometimes necessary for patient and staff safety, can result in negative outcomes, including physical and psychological harm to patients. This doctoral project addressed the critical issue of improving inpatient nurses’ confidence in applying alternative methods to seclusion and restraints. These alternatives are essential in psychiatric and acute care settings to promote patient safety, reduce the use of coercive interventions, and support a more humane approach to patient care. The practice problem identified was a notable lack of confidence and knowledge among inpatient nurses regarding using these alternative methods, which led to overreliance on seclusion and …

The Relative Strength Of Social Dominance Orientation, Belief In A Just World, And Colorblind Racial Attitudes In Predicting Support For Race-Based College-Admission Affirmative Action Policies, Allison Nicole Gaines
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Students accepted into college programs are granted an opportunity to develop marketable skills they can use to their advantage in a competitive job market. However, students are not always afforded equal access to these opportunities. While some colleges and universities implemented race-based affirmative action policies to mitigate discrimination in the admissions process, resistance to these policies has impeded efforts to ensure that applicants receive an equal educational opportunity. Previous studies examined various legitimizing myths, such as the myth of meritocracy and just world beliefs. Yet, no studies have determined the relative strength of social dominance orientation, belief in a just …

Psychologists’ Diagnostic Decision Making In Adhd And Autism In Children, Donna Kelly
Psychologists’ Diagnostic Decision Making In Adhd And Autism In Children, Donna Kelly
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
The decision-making experiences of psychologists who diagnose children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and high-functioning autism referred to as autism spectrum disorder - level 1 (ASD-1) when symptoms of either one or both are present in children were explored in this hermeneutic phenomenological study. These two common neurodevelopmental disorders share characteristics and symptoms that could lead to diagnostic confusion. There has been an absence of research on psychologists’ experiences with diagnostic decision making since the publications of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-5. Exploration of psychologists’ diagnostic decision-making processes can aid in providing early intervention and accurate …

Staff Education Program To Reduce Medication Noncompliance In Patients Diagnosed With Schizophrenia, Patience Madu
Staff Education Program To Reduce Medication Noncompliance In Patients Diagnosed With Schizophrenia, Patience Madu
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Medication noncompliance is a significant challenge in managing schizophrenia, a chronic and severe mental health disorder characterized by symptoms such as delusions, hallucinations, disorganized thinking, and impaired functioning. Schizophrenia presents both positive symptoms, which involve exaggerated thoughts or behaviors, and negative symptoms, which reflect a lack of normal mental activity. Consistent medication management is important for stabilizing this condition. However, research shows that many patients with schizophrenia struggle with medication adherence. In this executive summary, I outline the staff education program I designed to equip mental health nurses with skills, knowledge, and strategies to address medication noncompliance. The practice-focused question …
