Perceptions Of Family Resiliency Among Adult Children Of Parents Diagnosed With Borderline Personality Disorder, Ashley D. Shulski
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Adults who grew up experiencing childhood maltreatment may struggle more frequently with interpersonal relationships and may have low resilience, which may create ongoing struggles with having meaningful, healthy relationships with others, especially within their parent–child relationships. Individuals diagnosed with borderline personality disorder (BPD) are 13 times more likely to endorse multiple childhood adverse experiences (ACEs) than their peers and struggle to have a secure attachment to others. However there has been limited research focused on exploring parental availability and family resilience in a home with a parent diagnosed with BPD, addressing low emotional availability and parent–child bonding. This qualitative study …

Identification And Treatment Of Ipv/Nonfatal Strangulation By First Responders, Mary L. Turner
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Ineffective and inconsistent education focusing on domestic violence (DV)/intimate partner violence (IPV)/nonfatal strangulation identification and treatments results in first responders’ failure to move patients to a higher level of care, resulting in possible delayed complications. The purpose of the Doctor of Nursing practice (DNP) project was to determine if an educational program increased first responders’ knowledge and improved treatment of DV/IPV/nonfatal strangulation patients. Roger’s diffusion of innovation theory provided the framework throughout the educational process. The Physician Readiness to Manage Intimate Partner Violence Survey (PREMIS) tool was utilized to score the participants’ knowledge prior to and after the education. The …

Seventh-Day Adventist Clergy’S Perceptions Of Dealing With Parishioners’ Mental And Emotional Health Challenges, Allens Gilles
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
The issue of how Seventh-day Adventist (SDA) clergy perceive and address parishioners’ mental health challenges is critical. Clergy perceptions are significant because they can greatly influence parishioners’ quality of life and choices regarding mental health care. However, there is limited literature on SDA clergy’s perspectives on these matters. Thus, the purpose of this qualitative phenomenological study was to explore the perceptions of SDA clergy regarding how to assist parishioners with emotional and mental health challenges. The theoretical framework was the mental health literacy theory, developed in the mid-1990s. Data were collected from semistructured interviews with 10 clergy of African American …

Executive Summary: Quality Improvement Initiative Implementing Fixed Water Dispensers In An Inpatient Psychiatric Hospital, Elycia Victoria Hernandez
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
The current hydration system using water pitchers was outdated and inefficient, leading to potential risks of contamination, inconsistent hydration, and increased staff workload in this inpatient psychiatric facility. Psychiatric patients may struggle to access adequate hydration due to cognitive or behavioral limitations. Addressing this gap is essential for improving patient care, enhancing operational efficiency, and ensuring consistent access to clean water. This DNP scholarly project was an evaluation of an interprofessional team-based quality initiative to replace traditional water pitchers with fixed water dispensers in an acute inpatient psychiatric facility. The primary practice-focused question was: Will an interprofessional team reach consensus …

Rural Volunteer Emergency Personnel’S Perceptions Of Stressors During The Covid-19, Janette Lynn Nichols, Phd
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Emergency personnel are expected to handle all situations without affecting their psyche.

With the onset of COVID-19 in December 2019, rural emergency personnel were placed in exhaustive specific situations not experienced previously within the United States. This study was conducted to focus on how they internalize their stressors. This generic qualitative study aimed to determine the perceptions of stressors experienced by rural volunteer emergency personnel during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Counseling Iowan Farmers: A Phenomenological Study Of Clinical Perspectives, Kathleen Ruscitto, Corinne W. Bridges
Journal of Social, Behavioral, and Health Sciences
Rural communities present unique challenges for counselors. Farmers experience high rates of suicidality, depression, and substance abuse and are less likely to seek mental health help due to associated stigma, financial strain, time constraints, and lack of specialized training among clinicians. This study sought to understand the lived experiences of counselors in rural Iowa who counsel male farmers. Participants completed a 60-minute semi-structured interview and demographics questionnaire. Hermeneutic phenomenology and the ecological perspective were used to identify and interpret these experiences, illuminating the need for culturally competent, contextually responsive counseling practices in rural settings. Essential themes were categorized within the …

Engaging Children In Conversations About Loss With The Help Of A Canadian Activity Book, Giulia Adele Dinicola
Journal of Social, Behavioral, and Health Sciences
In Canada, the practice of medically assisting patients in dying has been legal since 2016. Patients who have been diagnosed with serious diseases or disabilities—including mental illnesses, starting in March 2024—may meet the requirements to seek medically assisted suicide. As a result of this legalization, medical and ethical communities have expressed concerns regarding those who assist their loved ones in the process of dying. To date, little has been written about how children react when someone close to them decides to end their life due to unbearable suffering. In July 2022, the Canadian Virtual Hospice group published the Medical Assistance …

Collaboration Of Social Workers And Other Support Professionals Working With Individuals Diagnosed With Autism, Brooke Ashley Humphrey
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Autism is occurring at an increasing incidence in the United States, and it does not discriminate based on race, ethnicity, or socioeconomic status; therefore, the need for collaborative care across multiple support systems is increasing as well. There are few studies that described collaborative approaches across systems for individuals diagnosed with autism. The purpose of this generic qualitative study was to better understand how social workers and other support professionals use interprofessional collaboration when working with individuals diagnosed with autism. The concepts that grounded this study included Sundet et al.’s collaborative, dialogue-based clinical practice (CDCP) model. Data were collected through …

Predictive Validity Of Person-Environment Fit On The Hiring Desirability Of Software Engineers, Lucija Velican
Predictive Validity Of Person-Environment Fit On The Hiring Desirability Of Software Engineers, Lucija Velican
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Person-environment (P-E) fit, particularly in recruitment, has gained significant attention, expanding beyond the traditional focus on job-applicant compatibility to include alignment with team and organizational dynamics. Despite its importance, there is no consensus on how to effectively measure this fit, which limits its predictive power for employee outcomes. This quantitative correlational study addressed this gap by examining the predictive validity of congruence between candidates’ psychological characteristics and various facets of the work environment among software engineers. Drawing on Schneider’s attraction-selection-attrition model, the study examined congruence at multiple levels (candidate-team, candidate-leader, and candidate-role) and its influence on hiring desirability. Secondary data …
