Military Sexual Trauma And The Psychological And Emotional Well-Being Of Gay Men, Alisha Simmons
Military Sexual Trauma And The Psychological And Emotional Well-Being Of Gay Men, Alisha Simmons
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Researchers have found that male survivors of military sexual trauma (MST) may not report their assaults due to a combination of stigma, embarrassment, and fear of further assault and of being labeled a betrayer of the military. The stigma and discrimination that these gay males may face in the military culture may lead to intensifying their trauma, making it harder to recover. The goal of this study was to explore the reported psychological and emotional well-being and quality of life of gay males who experienced sexual assault while serving in the military. Freyd’s theory of betrayal trauma and institutional betrayal …

The interviews were recorded, transcribed, and coded to …
Exploring Social Work Leadership Skills At The Veterans Health Administration: A Transformational Leadership Perspective, Jose Arturo Camacho
Exploring Social Work Leadership Skills At The Veterans Health Administration: A Transformational Leadership Perspective, Jose Arturo Camacho
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
One of the problems in the field of social work leadership is the lack of a theoretical framework to guide its practice. Bass' transformational leadership theory (TFL) offers a framework for the field of social work leadership. However, the Veterans Health Administration (VHA), the largest employer of social workers in the United States, has not examined TFL skills with its social work leaders nor its effect on employee job satisfaction. This quantitative, cross-sectional, web-based study was designed to bridge the gap between social work leadership practice and leadership theory. The Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) survey was administered to 26 VHA …

In this generic qualitative study, the aim was to explore the barriers to housing for female veterans who have experienced homelessness after transitioning from the military. Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems theory was the framework that guided this study, as it is designed to be able to explore the different levels of systems that significantly impact an individual …

Perceptions Of Developmental Disability Service Providers, On How The Judicial System Responses To Persons With Developmental Disabilities., Donna Whilby
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
The situation or issue that prompted me to search the literature was observing the persons with developmental disabilities circling the judicial system due to multiple encounters with law enforcement. The purpose of this qualitative study was to understand how the Northeast Florida judicial system could improve the outcomes of persons with developmental disabilities by reducing and preventing multiple encounters. The empowerment theory was the most appropriate theory for my study. Empowerment theory indicates that it is imperative to encourage people, especially those who have a psychological deficit, to lean into their resources to gain and utilize their power in society. …

White Clinical Social Workers’ Comfort With Black People’S Mental Illness, Lushunda Wood-Buckson
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Social workers constitute one of the largest clinically trained groups in the helping professions delivering mental health services in the United States. Most U.S. social workers are White and provide mental health services to diverse people. The social work literature has limited information about White clinical social workers’ comfort with delivering mental health services to Black people with mental illness. The aim of this study was to better understand how White clinical social workers who self-identify as culturally competent describe their perceptions of comfort when delivering mental health services to Black people with mental illness. This basic qualitative study was …
Experiences Of Online Faculty When Peer-To-Peer Incivility Is Observed, Juliet Lockwood
Experiences Of Online Faculty When Peer-To-Peer Incivility Is Observed, Juliet Lockwood
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Incivility in the college classroom distracts from the learning process. Students who are uncivil to their peers often shame and embarrass them in front of others, and uncivil students distract from learning opportunities by arguing with professors and coercing them for grades that were not earned. Incivility by students is counterintuitive to the goals of higher education which include offering a space for meaningful learning. The literature describes incivility by students in the physical classroom, yet lacking from current research is how peer-to-peer incivility in the online classroom affects student learning. The purpose of this basic qualitative study was to …

The population of English Language Learners (ELLs) enrolled in kindergarten to second grade (K-2) in the Southern region of the United States has increased. K-2 teachers are challenged to serve ELLs in the regular education classroom and students are often being referred for special education services. There needs to be more literature on the overrepresentation of ELL students in special education programs. The purpose of this basic qualitative study was to explore K-2 teachers’ experiences with the overrepresentation of ELL students in special education programs and what teachers need to facilitate appropriate interventions for ELL students within the general education …

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
U.S. female military spouses experience a number of challenges in sustaining their personal employment, career development, and career progression due to frequent military relocations. Previous studies have revealed that sustained employment provides individuals with a sense of purpose and identity, which significantly impacts overall well-being. The purpose of this generic qualitative study was to explore experiences of U.S. female military spouses seeking employment after multiple relocations due to military reassignments and their perceived self-esteem post relocation. Self-determination theory provided the theoretical framework for this study. A generic qualitative approach and data from 13 participants’ individual interviews were collected and analyzed …

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
African immigrant children living in the United States (US) are highly susceptible to medically complex, life-limiting, and life-threatening conditions, including rheumatic heart disease, congenital heart disease, autism, and other neurodevelopmental disabilities. As primary caregivers, mothers frequently need a break from their caregiving responsibilities to experience normalcy, rest, and regenerate their reserves, which is critical to their families’ long-term stability. The purpose of this study was to understand access barriers to respite care services for these mothers and the role of race in potential disparities in access using a critical race theoretical lens. The generic qualitative research design was used with …
The Experience Of Remediation For At-Risk, Pre-Licensure Baccalaureate Student Nurses, Nicole Jager
The Experience Of Remediation For At-Risk, Pre-Licensure Baccalaureate Student Nurses, Nicole Jager
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
At-risk students face academic challenges that can affect nursing program progression. Remediation strategies can increase student success. The research problem addressed through this study is a lack of information surrounding the students' remediation experience in an at-risk, pre-licensure baccalaureate student nurse population. Individualizing remediation to the student population can increase success; however, the student perspective is needed to correctly identify and tailor the remediation activities to fit the students’ needs. The purpose of this descriptive qualitative study was to explore the experience of remediation among at-risk, pre-licensure baccalaureate student nurses. Mezirow's transformative learning theory grounded this study. The research design …

The Role Of Social Support In The Mitigation Of Social Worker Burnout During The Aftermath Of Hurricane Maria, Miguel Angel Soto
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Social workers are among the first responders to be activated during a natural disaster, and they remain aiding victims through the final stages of the recovery process. During the aftermath of natural disasters, social workers are required to work under extreme pressure and are at an increased risk of developing mental health issues that can affect their ability to provide adequate services. The purpose of this basic qualitative study was to explore the experiences of social workers who responded to Hurricane Maria regarding the role of social support and its relation to burnout. A purposive selection methodology was applied to …
Supporting First-Generation College Student Counselors-In-Training To Overcome Systemic Barriers: A Participatory Action Research Study, Randolph Connell Scott
Supporting First-Generation College Student Counselors-In-Training To Overcome Systemic Barriers: A Participatory Action Research Study, Randolph Connell Scott
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
The need for mental health professionals is increasing rapidly, and the United States is facing a critical shortage of mental health counselors. Concurrently, one of the largest and fastest-growing graduate student populations is first-generation (FG) college students. But this marginalized population is less likely to persist to graduation than their continuing education peers. FG college students have many strengths that make them well-suited to become mental health counselors; however, counseling programs and counselor education and supervision (CES) faculty do not have the information about the challenges faced by these students or the supports that would help them persist to graduation. …

Strategies Employed By School Social Workers In Virginia To Help Children Cope With Parental Death, Jamitta Covington
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Research has indicated that school social workers employ a variety of strategies or interventions that affect the child’s adjustment in school. The psychological, physical, and social issues impacting children after the death of a parent can have long term effects on their development. However, there is a lack of knowledge regarding strategies that provide support for children’s adjustment to the grief process following a parent’s death. The purpose of this generic qualitative study was to identify strategies to improve, enhance, and contribute to social work practice. The study was guided by Kubler-Ross’s grief theory, ecological systems theory, and assumptions of …

Strategies For Coping With Racial Microaggressions Among African American Medical Social Workers, Robert Ebot Tambe Ebot
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Racial microaggressions are prevalent in the field of social work. Social workers have reported experiencing racial microaggressions from coworkers, patients, and patients’ families. However, little is known about coping strategies that African American medical social workers use to mitigate the effects of racial microaggressions in the workplace. Therefore, the purpose of this generic qualitative study was to increase understanding of how African American medical social workers perceive and cope with racial microaggressions in the workplace. A generic qualitative approach was used to explore this topic, as well as how these social workers subsequently cope with perceived racial microaggressions. Twelve African …
Aging And Depression: Identifying Strategies To Prevent Suicide And Restore Integrity, Nekka A. Herbert
Aging And Depression: Identifying Strategies To Prevent Suicide And Restore Integrity, Nekka A. Herbert
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Researchers have documented a projected increase in the older adult population and a foreseeable increase in older adult suicides associated with shortcomings in the mental health field related to providing adequate mental health treatment to individuals 65 and older. Researchers have concluded that these shortcomings are due to ageism, lack of awareness, lack of knowledge in gerontology, and inadequate training for professionals entering the field. Studies have highlighted the growing number of older adult suicides but have lacked effective treatment strategies to reduce depressive symptoms and suicidal thoughts/behaviors, specifically in the older adult male population, which has the highest number …

The Relationship Between Ohio Start Peer Recovery Services And Parental Sobriety, Jennifer Mcclellan
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Parental substance use is associated with an increased risk for child maltreatment. The rise of parental substance use in Ohio led the state to implement Ohio START (sobriety, treatment, and reducing trauma), an evidence-based model that incorporates lived experience through peer recovery services embedded within child protection agencies. Researchers have studied the benefits of peer recovery services in community settings but have not extensively explored potential impacts among child protection populations. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between the timeliness and quantity of Ohio START peer recovery services and the length of parental sobriety at case …
