The Relationship Between Therapists' Belief About Exposure-Based Therapies, Anxiety, And Religious Faith: A Quantitative Study, Leslie Marie Gordon
The Relationship Between Therapists' Belief About Exposure-Based Therapies, Anxiety, And Religious Faith: A Quantitative Study, Leslie Marie Gordon
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
Professional therapists are vital in society, providing mental health care for individuals and families. However, therapists can experience mental health diagnoses as well, which may affect what therapeutic techniques they use with clients. Exposure-based therapies (EBTs) are an effective therapeutic technique for anxiety disorder, yet professional therapists underutilize them. Research demonstrated that religious faith affects the counseling relationship, although no research was identified as exploring the relationship between therapists’ religious faith, personal anxiety level, and belief in using EBTs in their practices. This quantitative, descriptive, correlational study utilized PROCESS Model 1 and sought to fill this gap in the literature. …

The Impact Of Language Intervention On At-Risk Kindergarten And First-Grade Students’ Receptive And Expressive Vocabulary: A Quantitative, Quasi-Experimental Study, Kimberly Quattlebaum Entzminger
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
This quantitative, quasi-experimental, pretest-posttest, non-equivalent control group study examined the effect of specific language-based interventions on accelerating the receptive and expressive vocabulary development of kindergarten and first-grade students. Though language comprehension is essential for reading comprehension, few studies offer insight into identification and intervention for students who enter kindergarten and first grade without age or grade-appropriate vocabulary development. The study included 70 students from a Title One school in South Carolina, divided equally into control and intervention groups after initial screening using the Peabody Picture Vocabulary 5th edition and the Expressive Vocabulary Test 3rd edition. Standard scores were used to …
Trust And Its Implications For Trauma, Casidhe C. Daniels
Trust And Its Implications For Trauma, Casidhe C. Daniels
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
Trust presents as a complex and frequently misunderstood building block. While people often demonstrate an inherent belief that trust is naturally engrained in others, adverse life events and traumatic experiences can alter a person’s level of trust. Trust has the ability to change and become redefined. This can occur in a negative manner when trauma is incurred. While the individual’s is often innocent because of the challenges they have experiences, successes, failures, and traumatic events develop an ability to trust others and to what degree they face the lingering implications and diagnoses result.
Revenue Cycle Management, Mary Scalf
Revenue Cycle Management, Mary Scalf
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
The healthcare industry continues to navigate through legislative changes requiring a change from the fee-for-service model to a value-based model.

Implementation Of A Nursing Care Bundle For Hospitalized Patients Receiving End-Of-Life Care, Klaire Thomason
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
A significant number of patients die in the hospital. Family-centered nursing care interventions are critically important to help ease the physical, social, spiritual, and emotional symptoms that patients may experience at the end of life. Despite the importance of the nurse’s role in delivering comprehensive end-of-life care, many nurses lack the knowledge and confidence necessary to implement evidence-based interventions. The purpose of this project was to evaluate the effectiveness of a nursing care bundle on increasing nurses’ self-perceived ability to deliver high-quality end-of-life care to patients in the inpatient setting. For this pilot study, an evidence-based Comfort Care Nursing Bundle …
A Correlational Study Between Spiritual Bible Reading And Spiritual Formation Of Leaders Of Pentecostal Churches, Mark Kwablah Buku
A Correlational Study Between Spiritual Bible Reading And Spiritual Formation Of Leaders Of Pentecostal Churches, Mark Kwablah Buku
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
This study aimed to understand the nuances of spiritual Bible reading and how it connects to the spiritual maturity of Christian leaders. The lack of spiritual formation in Christian spiritual leaders motivated this research. Literature abounds with spiritual reading, biblical engagement, interpretation methodologies, and the spiritual formation of Christian leaders. However, only a few studies exist on how people engage with the Bible. There is no empirical data on how biblical interactions impact spiritual development. The theory that guided this study was Jack Mezirow’s Transformative Learning Theory. With a quantitative survey methodology and non-probability sampling, data was collected from 91 …
A Missed Opportunity: The Relationship Between Language, Cognition, And Poverty In Early Childhood Among Bilingual Children, Saskia Barboza
A Missed Opportunity: The Relationship Between Language, Cognition, And Poverty In Early Childhood Among Bilingual Children, Saskia Barboza
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
Human development is a continuous process with critical periods, and early childhood is part of that process, with internal changes prompted by external factors. An essential part of human development is language acquisition and cognitive skills which are shaped by heredity, brain structure, personal differences, social interaction, and socioeconomic background. In recent decades the exposure to multiple languages at home has been growing, causing differences between the language status (bilingual or monolingual) and the executive functions of developing children. Some previous studies have pointed out cognitive differences in bilingual children, while others have not. The present study observed three variables …
Relationship Between School Type And Quality Of Neighborhood With Children’S Social Vulnerability, Maryam Majd
Relationship Between School Type And Quality Of Neighborhood With Children’S Social Vulnerability, Maryam Majd
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
The purpose of this quantitative research was to explore the relationship between two potential risk factors, children’s type of school (e.g., public, private, charter, or magnet) and quality of neighborhood, with social vulnerability. Data were collected through an online survey from January through March 2024. Hierarchical multiple linear regression conducted in SPSS demonstrated that four out of seven quality of neighborhood attributes were significant predictors of social vulnerability (p < .05); as the neighborhood conditions of vehicular traffic, teenagers present in the street, graffiti, and vandalism increased, levels of social vulnerability also increased. Factor analysis confirmed the strong reliability and internal structure of the instrument used to collect the data. No significance was found for children’s type of school, but more studies are needed to determine if research on this variable can help inform decisions about school-choice policies. This study addressed the need for knowledge about contextual environmental factors and children’s well-being. This is imperative, as social vulnerability is an emerging psychological construct in developmental research that is correlated with all aspects of social interactions, as it negatively interferes with the process of forming social bonds with others. Building alignment between the goals of schools, government agencies, and communities is essential, so that parents have access to the support and resources needed to promote healthy development in children. Thus, the empirical findings from this study will help promote awareness of social vulnerability and help children receive the empathy, dignity, and respect that they deserve.
Pastoral Prose And Civic Engagement: Crafting The Call To The Public Square, Christopher Ian Thoma
Pastoral Prose And Civic Engagement: Crafting The Call To The Public Square, Christopher Ian Thoma
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
This thesis explores the relationship between creative writing techniques employed by pastors and congregational engagement in the public square. The central thesis posits that if pastors incorporate creative writing methods in extended weekly communications with congregants, then the necessary factors for engagement in the public square will be fostered, leading to attitudinal shifts demonstrated by increased congregational interest or participation in civil affairs. Through an extensive literature review, the thesis fairly examines historical and contemporary views of church and state, the Two Kingdoms doctrine, concepts relative to public square participation, Christianity’s waning cultural influence, communication science, developmental theory, literature familiarity, …

Effect Of Incarceration On Prisoners Diagnosed With Mental Health Conditions: Trauma, Treatment, And Transitioning, Ingria S. Haywood
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
A mental illness is a medical disorder that affects a person’s behavior, thoughts, and emotions. It also has an impact on social and cognitive functions. Misuse of substances, biological factors, or abuse, whether as a victim or a bystander to repeated abuse, are all variables that contribute to mental illness. The prevalence of mental illness among incarcerated prisoners is alarming, and it is nondiscriminatory in that it affects both men and women. Several variables contribute to inmates’ susceptibility to mental health problems. Anxiety disorders, depression as a mood disorder, dementia, and schizophrenia are examples of these. A diagnosis of mental …

The Impact Of Social Dance Skills On The Development Of Employee Soft Skills, Danielle May Patridge
The Impact Of Social Dance Skills On The Development Of Employee Soft Skills, Danielle May Patridge
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
Employee soft skills are necessary in nearly every occupation for both employee and organizational success. There is a considerable body of knowledge related to the development of employee soft skills, and soft skills training is now seen in some educational curricula and organizational training programs. Yet, employers continue to report that employees and candidates are either lacking in or have underdeveloped soft skills, hampering both worker and organizational success. Soft skills cross domains and are not confined to use in the workplace; hence, they can also be developed in non-work domains. In this qualitative study, accomplished social dancers described their …
