Mediation By Fatalism Of The Association Between Symptom Burden And Self-Care Management In Patients With Heart Failure, Ashmita Thapa, Misook L. Chung, Jia-Rong Wu, Abigail Latimer, Terry A. Lennie, Gia Mudd-Martin, Chin-Yen Lin, Jessica Harman Thompson, Junghee Kang, Debra K. Moser

UK CARES Faculty Publications

Background: Clinicians and researchers often assume that symptom burden is associated with self-care management (SCM) in patients with heart failure (HF). However, that association is often not borne out in simple regression analyses and may be because another variable mediates the association. Fatalism is an appropriate candidate for mediation and is the belief that circumstances are predetermined without opportunity for control by individuals.

Objective: Our objective was to determine whether fatalism mediated the relationship of symptom burden with SCM among adults with HF.

Methods: We conducted a secondary analysis (N = 95) from a clinical trial. We used Self-care of …

Medical Expenditures And The Measurement Of Poverty In The United States, Luke Petach, David K. Wyant

Funded Scholarship

Using data from the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS) we estimate the fraction of the US population that is health poor. A person is health poor if their income prior to paying health insurance premiums and out-of-pocket healthcare costs is above the poverty line, but their income net-of-premiums and out-of-pocket healthcare costs is below the poverty line. Because resources used to finance health insurance premiums and out-of-pocket costs are (A) lexicographically preferred and (B) cannot be used to maintain an individual’s standard of living, they should be excluded from official poverty estimates. Approximately 1% to 2% of the US population …

Navigating The Layers Of Concern For Safe Dry Needling Of The Rectus Abdominis: A Cadaveric Study, Ryan C. Mcconnell, Christi L. Williams

Perfectionism, Shame, And Imposter Phenomenon In Health Science Students And Other Students, Angela Gootee

McNair Scholars Research

Undergraduate education is challenging for most students, bridging the path from teenager to young adult while continuing their education. All students will take difficult courses that could affect their mentality. Student mentality is operationally defined using three concepts: perfectionism, shame proneness, and imposter phenomenon. Perfectionism is the striving towards unrealistic and impossible to reach standards. Shame is a negative emotion students can feel when they deem themselves flawed or deficient instead of identifying specific actions as flawed. Imposter phenomenon occurs when someone who, although successful, believes himself or herself to be a fraud who will inevitably fail. Investigation into how …
