Voices Of Emergency Department Nurses And Their Experiences Of Workplace Violence, Emily M. Holland, Elizabeth B. Dowdell

Creating Healthy Work Environments (CHWE)

Background: Nurses in many healthcare facilities frequently feel unsafe and threatened due to workplace violence (WPV) which is a serious and persistent problem across the United States, (American Nurses Association, 2015; Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 2019). While all nurses are at risk for experiencing WPV, the emergency department (ED) is considered an especially high risk unit due to factors such as the acuity of illness, traumatic events, victims of violence, and the 24/7/365 days open door policy, (Emergency Nurses Association, 2020; Morrison & Joy, 2016). Patients with substance use disorders (SUDs) generate unique challenges for ED nurses since …

Doing Away With Racial Profiling In Policing Without Doing Away With The Rule Of Law, François Tanguay-Renaud

Osgoode Hall Law Journal

Since the turn of the millennium, Canadian appellate courts have been investing increasingly systematic efforts in demystifying and curtailing racial profiling in policing. These judicial efforts have so far been focused on the application of the legal criteria for arrest and detention as well as their regulation under section 9 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. In this article, I contend that this unidimensional approach is unsound and outline a corrective path forward. First, I argue that the prevailing judicial understanding of what racial profiling is and how it affects the lawfulness of arrests and detentions has the …

Exploring The Efficacy Of A Source-Based Writing Tutoring Intervention For Multilingual Students In The Writing Center, Dana Lynn Driscoll, Osman Ozdemir

The Writing Center Journal

Source-based writing skills, which include evaluating, synthesizing, and citing sources, are skills that students are expected to acquire as part of college-level writing. Unfortunately, many multilingual writers (MLWs), especially those in advanced degree programs, lack programmatic support and instruction. Thus, writing centers represent a critical site to offer MLWs tutorial-based support. Our study examined whether or not writing centers can help MLWs develop—and transfer—source-based writing skills in a sequence of three tutorials. We recruited five advanced student MLW participants from different cultural backgrounds who were uncomfortable with source use. Through pre-and postwriting samples, interviews, writing process recording videos, and a …

“I Just Need Another Set Of Eyes”: Understanding Students’ Idea Of The Writing Center, Isabelle M. Lundin, Neal Lerner

The Writing Center Journal

In this article, we describe writing center clients’ “idea” of the writing center based on interviews with 26 writing center users and qualitative coding of interview transcripts. Participants’ constructs of the writing center provide a lens to better understand how they perceive writing as an activity, the “writing culture” of the institution, the role of the writing center in their writing processes, and, ultimately, if they see writing centers in the way we would expect them to. The tensions we derived from our data are (1) between who and what tutors are and offer: discipline-specific expertise (including the disciplines of …

From Affordances To Action: Designing Familiar Health Data Interfaces For Older Adults, Peterson Jean, Enda Bates, Emma Murphy Dr

Conference papers

Health data is inherently complex, and tracking it appropriately, whether prescribed by a doctor or motivated by personal interest, offers significant benefits for improving health behaviours. With consumer availability, pervasive technologies such as wearable devices have opened new opportunities for the self-tracking of critical physiological health data. Yet, despite the progress made, older adults often encounter barriers that limit meaningful interactions, leading them to disengage from managing their own health. At the root of these barriers is the gap between designers' intentions and older adults' ability to perceive, interpret, and respond effectively to cues embedded in systems designed to collect …

Twenty Minutes Of Corsi Block Tapping Task Training Does Not Improve Mental Rotation In Adults With Stroke, Sarah A. Kettlety, Giuliet L. Kibler, Andrew Hooyman, Christina K. Holl, Sydney Y. Schaefer, Kristan A. Leech

Physical Therapy Faculty Articles and Research

Background: Visuospatial function is commonly impaired post-stroke and is associated with motor learning and recovery. A single, twenty-minute Corsi Block Tapping Task (CBTT) training session improved visuospatial function in young neurotypical adults; however, it is unclear whether this training would improve visuospatial function in adults with stroke.

Objective: To understand if a single, twenty-minute CBTT training session improved visuospatial function in adults with stroke compared to a no-training control group of adults with stroke.

Methods: Participants post-stroke were assigned to one of two groups. The training group completed twenty minutes of computerized CBTT training. The control group completed a survey …

The Rhetorical Function Of Writing Center Employee Handbooks, Talisha Haltiwanger Morrison

The Writing Center Journal

In his award-winning book, Around the Texts of Writing Centers, R. Mark Hall (2017) asserts the importance of everyday writing center texts, claiming that these documents “both enact and forward writing center scholarship” (p. 3). It is Hall’s position that such “everyday” documents are essential to understanding the work of writing centers, but that their very ubiquity leads writing center scholars and administrators to ignore them or take their functions for granted. In this study, I take up Hall’s call for more scholarly attention to everyday writing center texts through a thematic rhetorical analysis of nine writing center employee …

Preoperative Brain Mapping Predicts Language Outcomes After Eloquent Tumor Resection, Matthew T Muir, Kyle Noll, Sarah Prinsloo, Hayley Michener, Jeffrey I Traylor, Vinodh A Kumar, Chibawanye I Ene, Sherise Ferguson, Ho-Ling Liu, Jeffrey S Weinberg, Frederick Lang, Brian A Taylor, Stephanie J Forkel, Sujit S Prabhu

When operating on gliomas near critical language regions, surgeons risk either leaving residual tumor or inducing permanent postoperative language deficits (PLDs). Despite the advent of intraoperative mapping techniques, subjective judgments frequently determine important surgical decisions. We aim to inform data-driven surgery by constructing a non-invasive mapping approach that quantitatively predicts the impact of individual surgical decisions on long-term language function. This study included 79 consecutive patients undergoing resection of language-eloquent gliomas. Patients underwent preoperative navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) language mapping to identify language-positive sites ("TMS points") and their associated white matter tracts ("TMS tracts") as well as formal language …

Harnessing Lived Experience To Promote Accessible Employment Journeys, Emma Lovegrove, Denise Bertilone, Justin Brown, Elle Beaumont-Bilsby

Research outputs 2022 to 2026

This paper describes an Inclusive Employability initiative at Edith Cowan University (ECU) developed in 2024. The paper foregrounds the observations and reflections of Inclusive Employability Officers as they designed, developed and implemented the initiatives within the context of an Australian University. Over the past two decades Australian Universities have encouraged wider participation in higher education, though the resulting social mobility and economic benefit of higher education has not been evenly distributed, especially amongst cohorts with different socio-economic backgrounds and access requirements. The goal of the Inclusive Employability initiative was, and is, to support students from different equity cohorts, including people …

Predictors Of Long-Term Follow-Up Clinic Attendance And Continued Engagement Among Survivors Of Cancer In Childhood And Adolescence, Ji Yun Tark, Kayla L Foster, Shawki L Qasim, Omar Shakeel, Alicia Howell, Mary C Shapiro, Abiodun Oluyomi, Zoann E Dreyer, Ashley M Butler, Austin L Brown, Maria M Gramatges

Faculty, Staff and Students Publications

Purpose: Survivorship care is vital to screen for and manage late effects, yet follow-up remains suboptimal. We examined factors associated with long-term survivor clinic (LTSC) nonattendance, delayed initiation, and disengagement at a large, diverse pediatric cancer center.

Methods: We analyzed outcomes in 1138 survivorship-eligible childhood cancer survivors diagnosed between 2011 and 2019. Outcomes included (1) LTSC nonattendance (no visit ≥ 2 years post-treatment), (2) delayed LTSC visit initiation (first visit > 5 years from end of treatment), and (3) LTSC visit disengagement (no follow-up after initial LTSC visit). Adjusted odds ratios (aORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for factors associated with …

The Use Of Social Prescribing And Community-Based Wellbeing Activities As A Potential Prevention And Early Intervention Pathway To Improve Adolescent Emotional And Social Development: A Systematic Mapping Review, Siobhan B. Mitchell, Lucy Cartwright, Alex Gude, Alison Bethel, Harriet Hunt, Jane R. Smith, Daniel Hayes, Marcello Bertotti, Paul Jarvis-Beesley, Vashti Berry, Kerryn Husk

Peninsula Medical School

BACKGROUND: Social prescribing (SP) initiatives which aim to connect individuals to community-based assets have received increased research and policy attention, however schemes have mostly centred on adults. There is little research examining how social prescribing might work for children and young people (CYP), and specifically, what pathways into social prescribing look like for this group.

METHODS: We conducted a systematic mapping review to understand what social prescribing pathways look like for CYP. Searches were carried out in February 2022. We reviewed published journal articles and grey literature on pathways for CYP accessing activities or services in the community. We synthesised …

Behavioral Inhibition And Cognitive Control In An Emotional Go/No-Go Task, Amanda Burns

Locus: The Seton Hall Journal of Undergraduate Research

Behavioral inhibition is a temperamental tendency associated with heightened risk for developing anxiety disorders. Individuals with behaviorally inhibited temperament tend to avoid or withdraw from novel situations, which may be associated with prefrontal cortical activation related to cognitive control. The purpose of this study is to investigate how behavioral inhibition influences cognitive control using an emotional Go/No-go task. Participants completed the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-Y) which assesses feelings of anxiousness, and the Adult Measure of Behavioral Inhibition, which measures behaviorally inhibited temperament. Participants then completed an emotional Go/No-go task utilizing neutral and negative stimuli and asking participants to quickly respond …

Silent Signals: Human Trafficking And The Dental Professional’S Duty To Act, Pamela Zarkowski

Journal of the American College of Dentists

Human trafficking is a global public health and human rights crisis that includes forced labor and commercial sexual exploitation. Dental professionals are uniquely positioned to recognize signs of trafficking, as many victims encounter healthcare settings, including dental offices, during their exploitation. This article introduces the types and prevalence of trafficking, outlines legal and ethical responsibilities, and provides clinical red flags, case scenarios, and actionable strategies for screening and reporting. Myths that hinder detection are also addressed. By recognizing their ethical duty to protect vulnerable patients, dental professionals can become vital allies in the identification and support of trafficking survivors.

Digital Media, Truth Decay, And The Inversion Of Trust In Science, Nicholas Mosca

Journal of the American College of Dentists

Digital media enables the rapid dissemination of scientific oral health information from subject experts to the public. However, it also poses significant risks by facilitating the dissemination of misinformation and disinformation, thereby blurring the boundaries between truth and fallacy. This paper characterizes the decay of scientific truth in policymaking, characterized by increased public debate about scientific facts and a decline in confidence in science. It describes psychological mechanisms, such as confirmation bias and motivated reasoning, and social dynamics, including algorithm-driven content distribution and echo chambers, that accelerate the circulation of misleading science information. It suggests psychological interventions to counter misinformation, …
