Interdisciplinary Care Clinics In Chronic Kidney Disease, Tanya S. Johns, Jerry Yee, Terrian Smith-Jules, Ruth C. Campbell, Carolyn Bauer

Nephrology Articles

The burden of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is substantial, and is associated with high hospitalization rates, premature deaths, and considerable health care costs. These factors provide strong rationale for quality improvement initiatives in CKD care. The interdisciplinary care clinic (IDC) has emerged as one solution to improving CKD care. The IDC team may include other physicians, advanced practice providers, nurses, dietitians, pharmacists, and social workers--all working together to provide effective care to patients with chronic kidney disease. Studies suggest that IDCs may improve patient education and preparedness prior to kidney failure, both of which have been associated with improved health …

If You Knew The End Of The Story, Would You Still Want To Hear It?: The Importance Of Narrative Time For Mental Health Care, Vicki Saunders, Juanita Sherwood, Kim Usher

The Qualitative Report

The origins of this paper lie in our experiences of having heard too many stories with the same outcome or ending in the field of inquiry and practice described as “Aboriginal Mental Health.” This paper was written in an attempt to make sense of these experiences. It does so by focussing on another type of outcome or story ending in mental health care/research contexts more widely known as [Recovery]. Not to be confused with the term recovery as it is used in addiction studies, the concept of [Recovery] currently underpinning mental health care policies and reform is at once a …

Conducting Research With Community Groups, Mary Molewyk Doornbos, Adejoke Ayoola, Robert Topp, Gail Landheer Zandee

University Faculty Publications and Creative Works

Nurse scientists are increasingly recognizing the necessity of conducting research with community groups to effectively address complex health problems and successfully translate scientific advancements into the community. Although several barriers to conducting research with community groups exist, community-based participatory research (CBPR) has the potential to mitigate these barriers. CBPR has been employed in programs of research that respond in culturally sensitive ways to identify community needs and thereby address current health disparities. This article presents case studies that demonstrate how CBPR principles guided the development of (a) a healthy body weight program for urban, underserved African American women; (b) a …

Peer-Mediated Interventions For Students Classified With Emotional And Behavioral Disorders, Erin M. Burns

Counselor Education Capstones

It is critical for students with disabilities to be placed in the least restrictive environment (LRE) so they are able to reap the benefits of peer interaction, thereby obtaining a sense of belonging and inclusivity. Peer-mediated interventions are necessary to consistently place students in the least restrictive environment and ensure student success. Peer-mediated interventions also assist teachers in holding all students accountable. The three-tiered model provides an outline for prevention and intervention strategies that assist in maximizing student potential in the least restrictive environment. A review of literature focuses on effective peer-mediated interventions for students classified with emotional and behavioral …

Parent’S Alcoholism Severity And Family Topic Avoidance About Alcohol As Predictors Of Perceived Stigma Among Adult Children Of Alcoholics: Implications For Emotional And Psychological Resilience, Marie Haverfield, Jennifer Theiss

Faculty Publications

Alcoholism is a highly stigmatized condition, with both alcohol-dependent individuals and family members of the afflicted experiencing stigmatization. This study examined the severity of a parent’s alcoholism and family topic avoidance about alcohol as two factors that are associated with family members’ perceptions of stigma. Three dimensions of stigma were considered: discrimination stigma, disclosure stigma, and positive aspect stigma. In addition, this study assessed associations between perceived stigmatization and individuals’ experiences of depressive symptoms, self-esteem, and resilience. Adult children of alcoholics (N = 622) were surveyed about family conditions, perceived stigma, and their emotional and psychological well-being. Regression analyses revealed …

The Role Of The Faith Community Nurse In Fostering Spirituality In Those With Alzheimer's Disease, Verna Carson Phd, Pmh/Cns-Bc

International Journal of Faith Community Nursing

Alzheimer ’s disease (AD) strips individuals of memories and abilities that have defined them as productive adults throughout their life. While the decline in memory is real and results in a ‘loss of self’ this does not equate to a ‘loss of soul.’ AD patients continue to have spiritual needs throughout their life as do the family, and/or caregivers. This article explores the spiritual needs and care of AD patients and families and the unique opportunity faith community nurses have to help the AD patient and their support system. The Reisberg Functional Assessment Staging System is used to explain the …
