From Classroom To Bedside: Sense-Making And Embodied Information Practices Of Nurses, Aldrin Joseph Parilla Campos, Kathleen Lourdes Ballesteros Obille

Biennial Convention (CONV)

Dervin’s Sense-Making Methodology (SMM) represents the process of translating knowledge into actual practice [3, 11]. Embodied information practices are associated with actions, habits, and intuitions acquired through both cognitive and physical experiences, and play a crucial role in nursing skill acquisition [7]. This study explored the role of information practices in education and professional development of nurses by examining how nurses acquire and apply knowledge and skills.

Researchers conducted interviews in July-August 2024 with seven registered nurses to explore the transition from classroom learning to bedside practice. The interview questions were constructed in an open-ended, semi-structured approach that allowed the …

Exploring The Experience Of Nurses Practicing During The Great Resignation, Jolene Kittle

Biennial Convention (CONV)

Background: The number of workers resigning from their jobs in the years after the COVID-19 pandemic reached rates so high, the time period has been called the “Great Resignation”. There is minimal formal research on this phenomenon in workers generally. Similarly, much of the literature available specific to nursing during this time period are editorials and surveys. Studies that were conducted prior to the “Great Resignation”, focused on the reasons nurses were leaving the profession. This study seeks to understand what motivates nurses to work. The Motivation to Work theory posits factors including salary, working conditions, and policies– many of …

Stigma And Barriers To Seeking Mental Health Care Among Emergency Department Providers – A Mixed Methods Study, Shannon C. White, Charlotte H. Harris, Ravindra Gopaul, Joshua M. Smyth

Student Papers, Posters & Projects

High levels of psychological distress and depression are common among clinicians working in US emergency departments [ED], yet treatment-seeking remains rare, contributing to burnout and negative well-being. Reluctance to seek care often reflects concerns about negative consequences (e.g., stigma, negative professional impact). We sought to characterize the availability of mental health resource availability, beliefs about seeking care, and barriers faced by emergency department healthcare providers. A sequential mixed-method design was employed. Phase 1 included a survey of ED physicians, advanced practice providers (APPs; i.e., nurse practitioners and physician assistants) and medical residents at an academic medical center. The survey assessed …

Band-Aids And Backroads: Surviving Rural Healthcare In South-Central Mississippi, Cambry L. Craft

Using creative methods, this cross-disciplinary research focuses upon the embodiment and experiences of 13 pregnant and 5 matrescent women who sea swam during winter in the UK. Findings document the women's perceived health and wellbeing benefits of cold water swimming through pregnancy including a protected space for mothers to create time for themselves. Cold water immersion was reported as easing aches and pains associated with pregnancy. Some women used the controlled breath of entering cold water as …

University Of Alabama At Birmingham's Research Data Catalog, Amy Reese

Libraries Professional Work

A dataset catalog can be a quickly implemented solution when hosting an institutional dataset repository simply isn’t possible. These resources can make institutional research data more locally discoverable, accessible, and reuseable. A dataset catalog (composed of metadata records) connects users with the institution’s research datasets and can be hosted on any repository platform. At the University of Alabama at Birmingham, our Research Data Catalog does not directly include or store datasets but is a functional directory that assists with discovery of datasets that researchers have deposited in external data repositories (such as Zenodo, Dryad, ICPSR, and Figshare), self-hosted, or a …

Romances: A Performer's Guide To Tchaikovsky's Art Songs Through His Queer Sexuality, Nathaniel Reed Himes Mcbride

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

This dissertation explores the art songs of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky through the lens of his queer sexuality by offering performers interpretive strategies that focus on themes of desire, repression, identity, intimacy, and longing. By placing these songs within both their 19th-century cultural context and contemporary queer discourse, the project shows how Tchaikovsky’s musical choices could be interpreted as code of his emotionality and experiences as a queer person. Through historical context, letters, and analyses of selected songs, performers can draw upon layered meanings in choices of phrasing, acting, and staging. Ultimately, this performer’s guide seeks to highlight Tchaikovsky’s arts songs …

Exploring Predictors Of Lgbt-Affirming Counseling Self-Efficacy Among Counselors And Counselors In Training, Mary Agnes Louise Thompson

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

There is a growing need for counselors and counselors-in-training to provide affirming services competently and confidently to lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) clients. Previous research has demonstrated that factors such as personal attitudes, religious commitment, and exposure to LGBT individuals influence counselors’ perceived competence in this area. However, little is known about how these variables interact to shape LGBT-affirming counseling self-efficacy, a critical component of effective and ethical practice. The present study investigated predictors of LGBT-affirming counseling self-efficacy among a sample of 131 professional counselors and counselors-in-training. Specifically, the study examined the direct effects of gender, religious commitment, and …

Barriers To School Belonging Using Bronfenbrenner And Crt: A Teacher's Perspective, Rebecca Rosa

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

This qualitative, explanatory case study examined the barriers teachers experience fostering belonging in their students. Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems provided a theoretical framework through which the study was organized, while a Critical Race Theory (CRT) lens provided context for how racialized power and structural inequities shaped teachers’ ability to build belonging. The study focused on the experiences of six core subject teachers who worked in a majority-minority, urban charter high school in the Midsouth. Teachers participated in semi-structured interviews, reflecting on their experiences across multiple ecological levels, from classroom practices at a microsystem level to community influences at the macrosystem level. …

Experimental Investigation And Advanced Modeling Of Fretting Fatigue: Analysis Of Key Variables And Application Of Critical Plane-Based Life Prediction Approach, Samira Ghadar

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

Fretting fatigue, a critical failure mechanism in structural assemblies, occurs due to small-amplitude relative motion between contacting surfaces under cyclic loading, significantly compromising fatigue life. Despite extensive studies, the understanding of coupled influences of mechanical, material, and environmental factors remains incomplete, motivating the need for integrated experimental and predictive modeling approaches. This dissertation first provides a comprehensive literature review and synthesis of experimental studies of key fretting fatigue parameters including contact pressure, slip amplitude, frequency, surface roughness, contact geometry, and environment. Then the fretting fatigue life modeling approaches used in the literature are reviewed and their strengths and limitations are …

Behavioral Detection Methods For Automated Mcp Server Vulnerability Assessment, Christian Coleman

Cybersecurity Undergraduate Research Showcase

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) has emerged as a critical standard for connecting AI agents to external data sources and tools. Still, its adoption has introduced significant security vulnerabilities across multiple attack surfaces. While recent research has catalogued extensive vulnerability taxonomies and attack implementations, automated detection methodologies remain limited. Current detection tools primarily employ static code analysis, which fails to identify behavioral vulnerabilities that only manifest during runtime server interactions. This study explores behavioral detection approaches for identifying MCP server vulnerabilities through systematic query-based testing, with particular emphasis on context manipulation techniques. Preliminary analysis of existing vulnerability research reveals 48 …

Exploring The Acceptability Of The Kimberley Mum’S Mood Scale For Perinatal Mental Health Screening In Gove District Hospital, North-East Arnhem Land, Tom P. Atkinson, Erica P. Spry, David Atkinson, Julia V. Marley, Emma Carlin

Journal of the Australian Indigenous HealthInfoNet

Objective: Across Australia perinatal mental health challenges disproportionately impact Aboriginal women. Identifying Aboriginal women at risk of adverse mental health outcomes in the perinatal period is an important step in supporting their overall health and wellness. Current screening tools have significant limitations when used with Aboriginal women.

The Kimberley Mums Mood Scale (KMMS) is a culturally secure approach to screening for perinatal mental health disorders in Aboriginal women. It has been validated in the Kimberley region of Western Australia and may be able to improve mental health screening in other regions. In this study the KMMS was trialled at a …

Opportunities To Improve Continuity In Medicines Management For Aboriginal And Torres Strait Islander People Accessing Care In South Australian Hospitals: Coverage, Quality, Monitoring And Accountability, Annabelle Cranwell, Cheyne Sullivan, Kezia Daniel, Erik Cornelisse, Brianna Kinnear

Journal of the Australian Indigenous HealthInfoNet

This paper proposes that hospital admissions, which are traditionally considered high risk transitions, can be opportunities to strengthen continuity in medicines management (CMM) for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients and across the healthcare system. There are four key areas of focus in this paper including CMM coverage, CMM quality, health system monitoring of CMM, and health system accountability for CMM to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and communities. These areas for improvement are justified by the National Agreement on Closing the Gap (The National Agreement), the Guiding Principles to Achieving continuity in medication management, and Continuity in Medication …
