Religious Identity, Sexual Identity, And Internalized Homophobia In Adults Who Have Deidentified From Christianity, Kevin Roum
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Over the past three decades, the percentage of the United States population that identifies as Christian has dropped significantly. At the same time, the level of acceptance of gay, lesbian, and bisexual identities has increased. However, this overall acceptance does not necessarily lead to an acceptance of these identities within specific Christian communities, leading to gay, lesbian, and bisexual individuals having contradictory experiences between their Christian upbringing and secular society. Individuals who no longer identify as Christian after being so raised may experience additional dissonance as their sexuality identity conflicts with the teachings they were raised to believe yet no …

Body Dysmorphia In Post-Weight Loss Surgery Patients, Theresa M. Niles
Body Dysmorphia In Post-Weight Loss Surgery Patients, Theresa M. Niles
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Although there is a known link between weight loss surgery and body dysmorphic disorder, research has not been conducted on the experiences of individuals experiencing these two phenomena. Using a phenomenological approach, this study examined the research question: What are the lived experiences of post-weight loss surgical patients with diagnosed body dysmorphia? Self-discrepancy theory was used as the overarching theoretical framework. Interviews were conducted with ten participants, and the data were analyzed using Quirkos software and inductive coding, examining clusters of themes within the narrative transcripts. Themes emerging included focusing on physical rather than mental health in the post operative …

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.

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 …

Southern Californian Clinicians’ Perspectives Of Online Treatment For Adolescents With Eating Disorders, Sandra Mcintyre
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Treatment for eating disorders in adolescents is constantly changing and improving. With the recent COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a major transition to telehealth treatment. Studies on the efficacy and experience of telehealth have mainly focused on clients and families, leaving out clinician perspectives. Little research has also been done on how telehealth can be improved on now that it is more commonly used. Lewin’s field theory formed the framework for this qualitative study to explore clinicians’ suggestions to improve telehealth treatment for eating disorders. Ten specialized mental health clinicians provided data collected using two sequenced questionnaires. Analysis of the …

Relative energy deficiency in sports (RED-S) impacts the physical, emotional, and psychological health of adult female runners. Previous RED-S inquiry has focused on identification and evaluation of symptoms, and although researchers have investigated ways in which yoga affects adult female runner’s physical and mental health, understanding about the potential impact of instructor-led yoga practice in the treatment and management of RED-S symptoms is limited. The purpose of this basic qualitative inquiry was to investigate the lived experiences of adult female runners practicing instructor-led yoga to cope with RED-S symptoms, using the health belief model as a framework. Eight volunteers shared …

Central Line Associated Bloodstream Infection Prevention In Medical Intensive Care Unit, Linet Angir
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
. The doctoral project was a collaborative endeavor focused on central line dressing sites at a state university hospital in the northeastern United States. The aim was to reduce the current central line-associated infections (CLABSIs) rate. Through audits, it was discovered that most central line dressings needed to be completely sealed, some required insertion site clipping to ensure a complete seal, and some dressings were saturated. To uphold a commitment to quality care, clinical excellence, patient care, and superior outcomes, the Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) project recognized the importance of implementing the recommendations to reduce CLABSIs by maintaining central …
