Algebra 1 Teacher Experiences Implementing Illustrative Mathematics With Linguistically And Culturally Diverse Learners, Paula R. Potter
Algebra 1 Teacher Experiences Implementing Illustrative Mathematics With Linguistically And Culturally Diverse Learners, Paula R. Potter
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Without a curriculum that directly addresses the needs of all learners, students from linguistically and culturally diverse (LCD) backgrounds will continue to have inequitable educational experiences in high school mathematics. It is unknown if adopting the Illustrative Mathematics (IM) curriculum engages students from LCD backgrounds or will assist in narrowing the achievement gap between students of color and their White counterparts in a high school Algebra 1 course. The purpose of this basic qualitative study was to explore teachers’ experiences implementing the IM Algebra 1 curriculum with LCD learners using situated cognition, problem-based learning, and a culturally relevant pedagogy framework. …

Participants included Black lesbians, aged 25-35, who spoke English and had parenting desires within a lesbian relationship. Recruitment occurred via social media and local queer-supporting and parenting organizations.

Relationship Between Non-Affirmation Of Gender Identity, Healthcare Stereotype Threat, And Perceived Employment Inequities, Len M. Meyer
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
The transgender and gender-diverse (TGD) population faces barriers when seeking healthcare and perceived employment inequities for simply identifying as their gender identity. This study examined the relationships between non-affirmation of gender identity, healthcare stereotype threat, and perceived employment inequities for TGD people across the United States. The purpose of this quantitative, retrospective, quasi-experimental study was to determine if there was a relationship between non-affirmation of gender identity, healthcare stereotype threat, and perceived employment inequities. This study was guided by the sexual citizenship theory devised by T.H. Marshall, which examines three elements of the model: (a) civil society, (b) political society, …

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
This quantitative predictive study examined comfort and knowledge as predictors of an accurate Factitious Disorder Imposed on Another (FDIA) diagnosis among master-level mental health counseling professionals in Washington State. This study also explores why researchers have struggled to develop a collective body of knowledge that can predict an accurate diagnosis of FDIA. The person-centered theory model guided this research. Data from the online platform SurveyMonkey was used to collect participant demographics, answers to the diagnostic questionnaire, and answers to the knowledge and comfort survey. All data collection took place between June and July 2024 and all data collected was electronically …

Experience Of Healthcare Workers Who Used Ai Therapy Robot Paro During The Covid-19 Pandemic, Ricco Nancy Julia
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Healthcare worker burnout and the need for systemic changes in the healthcare field have been researched and discussed for decades. Traditional ways to support these workers’ psychological wellness have not been effective, such that healthcare workers continue to be reluctant to seek help due to stigma and risk of losing their licenses. Researchers have stressed the need for drastic changes in the healthcare field at the administrative level to the resources healthcare workers can use, involving advanced technologies. This initial hermeneutic phenomenology exploratory study was to explore the experiences of healthcare workers who used PARO, a baby seal designed AI …

Assessing The Influence Of An Eastern State's Disciplinary Alternative Education Program On Secondary Student Behavior, Alicia Michelle Gallaway
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Services at the local disciplinary alternative education program (DAEP) include counseling and behavioral services to referred secondary students, aiming to improve their behavior. The problem addressed in this quantitative study was that a DAEP was in place in the local district since 2009, but there had been no formal assessment to determine whether differences in student discipline occurred in the semester before and the semester after students attended the DAEP. Guided by Bandura’s social cognitive theory, the purpose of this ex post facto, causal-comparative, quasi-experimental study was to investigate if there was a difference in student discipline as measured by …

The Experience Of Help Seeking For African American Pastors In Personal Crises, Jason Leon Hanna
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
The U.S. population faces enormous challenges coping with disease, financial stress, failure, and general mental health concerns. Rather than seeking care from psychotherapists, increasing numbers of people in religious communities seek help from clergy, who must then balance the needs of their constituents while navigating their own personal crises and need for support. The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore the meaning of help-seeking for African American clergy during personal crises, guided by Ajzen’s theory of planned behavior. Semistructured interviews were conducted with 20 African American senior pastors of congregations in the United States. Study participants defined help-seeking …

Staff Education Project Staff Education To Increase Confidence In Administering Methadone Maintenance, Christelle Meli
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Education of health care providers is fundamental in deterring the upward trend in deaths related to opioid drug overdoses. The aim of this staff education project was to educate clinical staff on the importance of administration, and monitoring of methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) to improve treatment rates and patient outcomes in patients with opioid use disorder (OUD). The practice-focused question was, Does an educational program on the importance, administration, and monitoring of MMT increase clinical staff's self-rated confidence in administering MMT? Evidence supported the gap in practice, barriers to MMT, and the need for educational interventions to address gaps in …

Hyperlipidemia, Acculturation, And Health Insurance Coverage In United States Foreign-Born Individuals, Debola Olayinka Ola
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Hyperlipidemia is one of the modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular diseases (CVD), the leading cause of death among minority populations in the United States, including foreign-born people. Therefore, preventing and treating hyperlipidemia alongside other CVD risk factors is critical for avoiding CVD. Prior research examined disparities in health insurance coverage, length of stay, and blood cholesterol with mixed observations over time with new immigrants. This study aimed to determine if there was a statistically significant association between language spoken at home, length of stay in the United States, having health insurance coverage or none, and high cholesterol level status among …

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
The diagnosis of cancer and various treatment modalities are linked to psychological distress that generally produces a decline in emotional and physical health and quality of life. There is a need for more research geared to help these women with metastatic breast cancer have a better quality of life. Grounded in the theory of unpleasant symptoms, a descriptive qualitative study design was employed to narrow the knowledge gap. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with a purposeful sample of six participants. A descriptive coding process led to these emergent themes: consternation at the initial time of diagnosis, treatment modalities, side effects, perceived …

Perceived Anxiety Symptoms Of Board-Certified Behavior Analysts Who Work With The Autism Population, Elyra Gonzalez
Perceived Anxiety Symptoms Of Board-Certified Behavior Analysts Who Work With The Autism Population, Elyra Gonzalez
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
The increase in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) diagnoses has led to a rise in mental health issues among board-certified behavior analysts (BCBAs). Burnout has been identified as the primary cause of emotional exhaustion, poor work-life balance, and stress. Despite this, direct interviews with BCBAs are limited. Previous research has indicated that BCBAs face high demands in their work; however, their mental health has not been thoroughly evaluated. Cognitive appraisal theory was used to demonstrate that the perceived symptoms are associated with anxiety, not just burnout. Semi-structured interviews with 10 BCBAs were conducted to gain direct feedback on their view of …
