The theoretical framework used for this descriptive design was John Bowlby’s attachment theory, Dr. Murray Bowen’s family systems theory, Daniel Goleman’s psychological theory on emotional intelligence, and, last, Albert Bandura’s view on aggression theory and the General Aggression Model (GAM). Additionally, the concept of father hunger was explored and measured as this was a crucial construct during this study. …

Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
The Dunker Sect, a radical Christian fellowship founded by Alexander Mack and Ernst Christoph Hochmann von Hochenau, grew from the endless conflict and radicalization of Christianity that emerged in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth century in what is now Germany and Switzerland. These men were guided by Christian leaders such as Jakob Spener, August Hermann Franke, and other radicals in Eastern Germany. Both Hochmann and Mack were separatists, in that they wanted nothing to do with what they considered the corrupted Church of the Catholic, Lutheran, and Reformed denominations. The term “separatist” however, only describes their removal from the …

Early Shame, Self-Esteem, And Christian Women, Teneka Guyrue Miles
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
The purpose of this phenomenological study was to gain a deeper understanding of the lived experiences surrounding the self-esteem of evangelical Christian women with early shame experiences. The theory guiding this study was attachment theory as it explains self-esteem being rooted in early childhood through trust building, unconditional love, and security. The theoretical framework further illustrates the impact of self-esteem as life progresses due to a combination of positive and negative self-evaluations. Early shame experiences affect one’s self-esteem adversely. Low self-esteem could breed isolation once people fail to see their self-worthy in establishing meaningful connections, without which individuals lack the …

A Model Of Evangelism For A Bilingual Worship Community, Dorkham Donovan See
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
The purpose of this DMIN action research project is to develop a model of evangelism for the Lahu-English bilingual worship community at Calvary Evangelical Free Church in Rochester, Minnesota. This study claims that the Lahu-English bilingual worship community has not emphasized evangelism—to share the gospel beyond this group—due to the decline of Christian influence in general and the cultural and language barriers that first and second- generation Lahu Christians encounter. Most ethnic worship communities tend to congregate and remain in their sphere of social and worship gatherings as a haven and belonging. While this is not intrinsically wrong, it ignores …

Transformative Learning Theory As Applied To Worship Studies, Loueda B. Bleiler
Transformative Learning Theory As Applied To Worship Studies, Loueda B. Bleiler
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
Despite extensive research regarding the application of Transformative Learning Theory in adult education, there is very little literature promoting applying these principles and practices within Christian Worship Studies. Transformative Learning Theory is an educational theory that researches and promotes perspective-changing teaching and learning. Structured educational opportunities and spiritual development through Christian worship both have the potential to be life-altering events in human experience. In each of these dimensions of learning, the final result may include a change in perspective which then leads to modified behaviors. Transformative change occurs in the life of the learner. This qualitative research study explores the …

High Health Care Cost In The U.S. And Its Impact On An African American Church Community In East Orange, New Jersey, William Charles
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
Access to affordable quality health care has been a long debating issue in the United States. Many scholarly research articles indicated that the cost of insurance premiums, deductibles, co-payments, and prescription drugs continue to rise every year. Despite various efforts to reduce the cost of health care in the United States, the trend remains the same. Au contraire, more Americans are unable to afford the cost of prescription drugs. More Americans postpone their medical treatments. More Americans find it difficult to financially address their health care needs. It can be inferred that high health cost has a significant impact in …

Determining The Impact Of Nurse Residency Programs To Increase Retention Rate Among New Nurse Graduates: An Integrative Review, Guiselly Astrid Erazo-Romero
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
New nurse graduates account for the largest group entering the profession, but they also have the lowest retention rates among all nursing staff. Due to the nursing shortage, newly licensed nurses undergo a shorter orientation to meet the complex needs of healthcare. Newly licensed nurses often report feelings of unpreparedness, lack of competence, and lack of confidence as they are expected to care for patients with complex needs. In response to the concern over low retention rates and the preparation-practice gap among new graduate nurses, Nurse Residency Programs (NRPs) were implemented. This program further eases the transition from the student …
