Strategies And Methods Used By Information Technology Security Professionals To Secure Cloud Access Infrastructure, Oliver Fontem
Strategies And Methods Used By Information Technology Security Professionals To Secure Cloud Access Infrastructure, Oliver Fontem
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Cloud computing provides data storage and access services to end users and enterprises but requires effective access controls to protect privileged information from unauthorized and malicious users. Enterprises adopt and integrate cloud computing into their business operations due to its cost-effective and on-demand delivery of computing resources over remote networks but face the challenge of adequate strategies and policies to implement identity and access management securely. Grounded in the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology, the purpose of this qualitative multiple case study was to explore strategies used by information technology cybersecurity professionals to improve identity and access …

Relationship Between Self-Efficacy And Reading Achievement Among Students With Disabilities, Jessica Maine
Relationship Between Self-Efficacy And Reading Achievement Among Students With Disabilities, Jessica Maine
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Students with disabilities (SWD) often display lower self-efficacy and have a more negative attitude toward reading compared to typically developing peers. Little research has been conducted to measure the relationship between reading self-efficacy and reading achievement of SWD. The purpose of this study was to investigate if reading self-efficacy predicts reading achievement for SWD. Bandura’s theory of self-efficacy guided the research question to evaluate the relationship between reading self-efficacy and reading achievement for SWD. In the present quantitative study, a linear regression analysis was used to assess the predictive relationship between SWDs’ reading self-efficacy, as measured by the Readers’ Self-Perception …

Implicit Biases And Attitudes On Decision Making Among Child Protection Workers, Demetria Turnage
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Racial disproportionality remains a historical issue in child welfare systems. It was important for this research to focus on characteristics, professional qualifications, and racial attitudes of those in child welfare decision-making roles to examine how they contributed to racism. To address the gap in the literature, the relationship between years of experience, race/ethnicity, risk of harm, advocacy, racial attitudes, and decision-making among child protection were examined to develop a greater understanding of the ongoing issues and development of reforming the child welfare decision-making process to capture racism among child protection workers. Increasing equality in the child welfare system will benefit …

Factors Affecting African Americans’ Participation In Alzheimer’S Disease Clinical Trials, Morounsayo Abimbola Awosika-Olumo
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Racial minority U.S. populations are underrepresented in clinical trials. Ensuring people from diverse backgrounds join clinical trials is key to advancing health equity. Participants in clinical trials should represent the patients’ population. The purpose of this quantitative study was to assess the association of individual-level factors (age, sex, marital status, family history of Alzheimer’s disease, living arrangement), health-related factors (smoking and alcohol), and socioeconomic status (years of education, employment status, health insurance status) and the interest in clinical trial participation among African Americans (AAs). The theoretical foundation that grounded this study was the health belief model. Secondary data from 214 …

Assessing The Uptake Of Biosimilar Insulin Glargine Among Physicians For The Treatment Of Diabetes In South Africa, Euganthri Pillay
Assessing The Uptake Of Biosimilar Insulin Glargine Among Physicians For The Treatment Of Diabetes In South Africa, Euganthri Pillay
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
In South Africa, diabetes is a serious problem where 1 in 9 adults has diabetes, making it the country with the highest diabetes prevalence on the African continent. Even though insulin is an absolute necessity for treating diabetes, it is unaffordable to millions. Biosimilar insulins, however, are innovative medicines that are similar but not exact copies of the originator insulin, making alternative treatment affordable to patients. The problem is that, in South Africa, it is still not known whether patients have access to biosimilar insulin in a country where diabetes is rampant. The diffusion of innovation theory was used to …

Leadership Strategies For Reducing Medical Errors, Jill Kitasato
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Medical errors can be preventable with ongoing education and training. However, some health care leaders struggle to develop and implement new strategies for reducing medical errors.

Impact Of Telehealth On Type 2 Diabetes Self-Management During The Covid-19 Pandemic, Nancy Olivo Marshall
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
The incidence of Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is on the rise, particularly among adults aged 18 years and older. Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels are commonly used by healthcare professionals to assess glucose variability; fluctuations are associated with an increased risk of adverse effects. The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the importance of self-directed management of HbA1c levels through telehealth. The purpose of this retrospective quantitative study was to investigate the effectiveness of self-directed management of HbA1c levels using telehealth among T2DM diagnosed adults at a community health service organization in the northeastern U.S. from December 2018 to 2022.
