How Does Passive Remote Monitoring Technology Affect Perceived Outcomes For Older Adults, Their Family And Friend Caregivers, And The Healthcare System?, Lori E. Weeks, Grace Warner, Sue Nesto, Heather Rushton, Kathleen Ledoux, Bradley Hiebert, Lorie Donelle Phd, Rn, Fcan
Publications
Background: Most people who receive home care services also rely extensively on support provided by family and friend caregivers. The utilization of technology such as help from remote monitoring technologies (RMT) that send notifications from sensors (e.g., motion sensors, cameras, medication administration monitoring) to a recipient (e.g., family or friend caregiver, healthcare professional) can help to support care provision. Passive RMT uses sensors that do not require any action by the individual for the system to work. Objective: This study is a qualitative component of a pragmatic randomized controlled trial. Our objective is to report qualitative findings from the perspective …

Undergraduate Theses, Professional Papers, and Capstone Artifacts
In an effort to both analyze how COVID-19 has impacted traditionally isolated communities and prevent loneliness, we have created a pen-pal program between UM students and senior adults. We have implemented a pilot pen-pal program to create lasting social bonds without exposing seniors to COVID-19. The program is currently running through the Davidson Honors College “Intro to Honors” course, with plans to leave the program self-sustaining in future semesters. To pair partners, we distributed interest surveys and matched relevant interests. To inform people of how loneliness affects seniors, we created a brochure that highlights our research, with plans to distribute …
Religion Has A Public Relations Problem: Integrating Evidence-Based Thinking Into Clinical Practice, Thomas G. Plante
Religion Has A Public Relations Problem: Integrating Evidence-Based Thinking Into Clinical Practice, Thomas G. Plante
Psychology
Religion and religious institutions receive a great deal of negative, rather than positive, attention and press. This creates an impression, for the casual observer, that religion and associated institutions are a plight on the planet. It is critically important for evidence-based research and best practices in clinical services to be well known and utilized within professional psychotherapy practice. Clinicians must be mindful of the many advantages of religious engagement for physical, mental, and community health and wellness. Psychologists, and other mental health professionals, tend to be secular and nonreligious and receive little, if any, training on religious diversity that may …

Caregiving stress and sense of control were from the 2004 wave, the outcome variable, depressive symptoms, was from 2013 wave controlling for depressive symptoms in 2004. A conditional process model was applied using PROCESS in SPSS. Results indicated that FCG’S who experienced …
Exploring The Intersection Of Nursing Home Culture, Improvement, And Documentation-Related Attitudes, Hannah Joy Baker
Exploring The Intersection Of Nursing Home Culture, Improvement, And Documentation-Related Attitudes, Hannah Joy Baker
Graduate Research Theses & Dissertations
Background: Documentation of patient care and characteristics is an important part of nursing home operations, because it affects financial aspects, quality improvement efforts, inter-provider communication, and potential for dangerous medical errors. However, little is known about the relationships between workplace culture, quality improvement, and documentation-related attitudes. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore perspectives of a total of 10 nursinghome staff and administrators on these variables within 8 Wisconsin facilities, based on a composite framework of Schein’s organizational culture typology and Shortell’s Quality Improvement Implementation Survey concepts. Methods: This qualitative interview study examined participant perspectives and emotions related …

The Efficacy Of An Educational Program On Home Dwelling Senior Citizens Aged 65+, Kayla Just
The Efficacy Of An Educational Program On Home Dwelling Senior Citizens Aged 65+, Kayla Just
OTD DEx Reports - College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences
"By 2030, 20% of the population will consist of adults aged 65+(CDC, 2021). 87% of these individuals intend to age in their home and avoid displacement (Davis 2021). This increase in aging population and desire to age in place requires preparation due to an impending increase in need for healthcare, caregivers, and accessible homes. This study encompasses the efficacy of an aging in place educational program on home dwelling senior citizens, presented to four senior centers. 18 participants aged 74-86 completed a pre and post survey, respectively before and after watching an evidence based educational program on aging in place. …
Collective Cognitive Capital, Emily R. Murphy
Collective Cognitive Capital, Emily R. Murphy
Faculty Scholarship
This Article calls for a new project for law and neuroscience. It outlines a structural, not individual, application of brain and behavioral science that is aligned with the general goal of basic science research: improving the lives of citizens with a better un- derstanding of the human experience. It asks brain and behavioral science to move explicitly into public policy territory, and specifically onto ground more traditionally occupied by economists—but in ways the project of “behavioral economics” has not yet ventured. Put sim- ply, policy analysts should focus on brains—“collective cognitive capital”—with the same intensity with which they focus on …

Older Adults And Suicide As Examined Through The Lens Of Joiner's Interpersonal Theory Of Suicide, Pamela Holmes
Older Adults And Suicide As Examined Through The Lens Of Joiner's Interpersonal Theory Of Suicide, Pamela Holmes
Graduate School of Professional Psychology: Doctoral Papers and Masters Projects
Older adults face the highest rates of suicide of all age groups. The older adult population is not a homogenous group, and each age range—young old, middle old, and oldest old—has specific risk factors. Although Joiner’s interpersonal theory of suicide (IPTS) has been deemed valid among these age groups, it has not been specifically researched in older adults in each older age range. Due to lack of research and low reporting rates, not enough is known to develop specific detection and prevention measures targeting this population. This paper addresses the application of Joiner’s IPTS to both genders in each of …

Nurse Staffing And Adverse Events In Residential Aged Care: Retrospective Multi-Site Analysis, Dorika Nhongo, Annie Holt, Tracy Flenady, Amanda Rebar, Kasia Bail
Medical Papers and Journal Articles
Background: People living in residential aged care homes are entitled to a safe environment 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Unfortunately, past evidence tells us this is not always the case and that our most vulnerable population experience high rates of adverse events.
Aim: To determine whether after-hours shifts are associated with number of adverse events, independent of registered nurse staffing levels and residential aged care home size.
Methods: Retrospective cohort design with multilevel modelling. Adverse events, registered nurse staffing and facility size were collected via routine reporting from ten homes (1020 beds) in one Australian state for …

Protective Orders And Limited Guardianships: Legal Tools For Sidelining Plenary Guardianship, David M. English, Nina Kohn
Protective Orders And Limited Guardianships: Legal Tools For Sidelining Plenary Guardianship, David M. English, Nina Kohn
Faculty Publications
By encouraging use of limited guardianships and protective orders instead of full guardianships, states can reduce the likelihood of unnecessarily stripping adults of their civil rights. Yet, although such less restrictive alternatives have long been available to most courts, in practice, their use remains limited and sporadic. This article argues that this lack of use suggests that it is not sufficient for the law to state a preference for these less restrictive alternatives, it must actually create systems that incentivize their use and actively discourage the use of full guardianships. This article then shows, using the Uniform Guardianship, Conservatorship, and …

Nursing Care For Transgender And Nonbinary Patients An Educational Model For Forensic Nurse Examiners, Shoshana Dickerson
Nursing Care For Transgender And Nonbinary Patients An Educational Model For Forensic Nurse Examiners, Shoshana Dickerson
Doctor of Nursing Practice Projects
One of the greatest barriers to healthcare faced by the transgender and nonbinary (TGNB) population is the lack of access to providers who are knowledgeable in providing safe, appropriate, and gender-affirming care. LGBT education for most nursing baccalaureate nursing programs contains only 2.12 hours of LGBT-related content in their curricula, with even less time specifically devoted to transgender health topics. One foundational intervention for addressing healthcare disparities among the TGNB population is to provide better and more inclusive education for nurses about gender-affirming care. The purpose of this quality improvement project was to design, implement, and evaluate an interactive educational …

Changing Age Segregation In The Us: 1990 To 2010, Debasree Das Gupta, David W. S. Wong
Kinesiology and Health Science Faculty Publications
Age segregation adversely impacts health and wellbeing. Prior studies, although limited, report increasing age segregation of the US. However, these studies are dated, do not comprehensively examine the spatiotemporal patterns and the correlates of intergenerational segregation, or suffer from methodological limitations. To address these gaps, we assess the spatiotemporal patterns of age segregation between 1990 and 2010 using census-tract data to compute the dissimilarity index (D) at the national, state, and county levels. Results contradict previous findings providing robust evidence of decreasing age segregation for most parts of the country and across geographical levels. We also examine factors explaining adult-older …

Background: Mindfulness practices are under-studied in Black communities despite theireffectiveness in improving mental health. When specifically examining Black male caregivers of people living with Alzheimer’s disease or dementia, not much is known about how mindfulness can affect their stress in their role as a caregiver and their identity as a Black male. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine mindfulness, self-rated stress, and depressive symptoms among Black male caregivers and non-caregivers and determine whether mindfulness can serve as a protective buffer against psychological stress in each of these groups. Methods: 18 Black male caregivers and 29 non-caregivers completed …

Multilevel Influences On Physical Activity Participation In Rural And Cancer Populations With Obesity, Nashira Inika Brown
All ETDs from UAB
espite the strong evidence of physical activity benefits, the prevalence of physical inactivity and associated obesity continues to increase. Rural and cancer survivor populations with obesity, in particular, remain highly inactive and are at increased risk of comorbidities. Thus, physical activity interventions are needed to promote active lifestyles. However, before developing or adapting existing multi-level physical activity interventions, more research is needed to understand the necessary components to meet the needs and preferences of these unique populations. Therefore, this project involved identifying the gaps in literature followed by three studies to investigate the multilevel influences on physical activity in rural …
The Roles Of Racial Discrimination And Sleep In Cognitive Functioning In Diverse Youth, Queenisha Crichlow
The Roles Of Racial Discrimination And Sleep In Cognitive Functioning In Diverse Youth, Queenisha Crichlow
All ETDs from UAB
Cognitive functioning is an important aspect of human development that is closely related to youth academic outcomes (Caemmerer et al., 2018). Specifically, there is evidence that cognitive abilities such as memory, attention, and self-control are predictive of academic achievement in youth (Peng & Kievit, 2020). Current research suggests that chronic stress reduces cognitive functioning (Korten et al., 2014), but few studies have examined this relationship for race-related stress, specifically racial discrimination. Considering that racial discrimination is a common and reoccurring type of stress in the lives of minority youth (Hughes et al., 2016), it is possible that chronic exposure to …

Smoking And Perceived Stress: Examining The Impact Of Racial Identity And Risk For Obstructive Sleep Apnea Through A Moderated Mediation Model, Sofia Mildrum Chana
All ETDs from UAB
Background: Cigarette smoking is known to have a negative effect on individuals’ sleep quality, and symptoms of insomnia. Smoking can particularly exacerbate sleep disorders such as obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) by increasing irritation and inflammation of the upper respiratory conducts. Previous research highlights the complex positive association between cigarette smoking and perceived stress. Sleep may be an important aspect intervening in the association between smoking and perceived stress, given that individuals who report high stress also report worse sleep quality and are at greater risk for OSA. However, limited research has examined the indirect association of cigarette smoking and perceived …
