Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Many millions of people are suffering from symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Just in the United States, 13 million Americans had a PTSD diagnosis as of 2020. Through the theoretical lens of catharsis, analysis of variance was used to examine whether traumatic incident reduction (TIR) is associated with changes in posttraumatic symptoms and posttraumatic growth by comparing pre, mid, and post-TIR PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5) and Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI) scores. Regression was also used to test whether post-PCL-5 scores accounted for variance in the post-PTGI scores. Ninety-seven TIR cases from the mental health agency between 2017 and …

Staff Education On Mindfulness-Based Therapy To Address Compassion Fatigue, Samson Ajibola Omowumi
Staff Education On Mindfulness-Based Therapy To Address Compassion Fatigue, Samson Ajibola Omowumi
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
The nature of nursing practice—persistent exposure to patient suffering—often results in compassion fatigue for staff. Compassion/emotional fatigue can affect nurses’ mental well-being, which can manifest in burnout, decreased empathy, and emotional numbness. These outcomes can eventually reduce job satisfaction for nurses and nursing assistants, increase errors during patient care, and lead to poorer patient outcomes. Prioritizing caregivers' mental health may improve the quality of nursing care. Mindfulness-based therapy (MBT) is an approach that may ensure the mental health and emotional stability of those who care for patients while also being a comparatively easy, accessible, and affordable tool. The goal of …

The Moderating Influence Of Generation On Leadership Style, Job Satisfaction, And Intent To Leave Among Child Welfare Workers, Kelly Cavanaugh
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
The declining retention rate among U.S. child welfare workers is a significant concern.
