The Ecology Of Bipolar Disorder: The Importance Of Sleep, Mona Shattell, Mary Umlauf
The Ecology Of Bipolar Disorder: The Importance Of Sleep, Mona Shattell, Mary Umlauf
Mona Shattell
Although much of the emphasis on treating Bipolar Disorder patients is pharmacotherapy, sleep loss is an important trigger for mania and plays an important role in the condition. The purpose of this paper is to fully explore the chronobiological, environmental, social and genetic factors that contribute to the sleep disruption that is characteristic of mania and bipolar disorder. This review is important because sleep, chronobiology and genetics are under-emphasized content areas in nursing education. As a result many practicing nurses are unaware of the importance of sleep for mental health or what to teach patients to improve both the quality …
The Scholarship Of Engagement In Nursing, Mona Shattell, Joseph Burrage, Barbara Haberman
The Scholarship Of Engagement In Nursing, Mona Shattell, Joseph Burrage, Barbara Haberman
Mona Shattell
We propose the time is right for the Scholarship of Engagement to serve as a model of scholarship in schools of nursing given the shift towards community based research and the emphasis of communitybased research in the recently published National Institutes of Health (NIH) roadmap initiative. Thus, this article addresses the need of nursing academe to embrace a broader paradigm of scholarship, the Scholarship of Engagement, in order to expand knowledge development via implementation of the NIH roadmap. The need for implementation of a broader paradigm of nursing science within the context of nursing academics’ roles is discussed.
“It’S The People That Make The Environment Good Or Bad:” The Patient’S Experience Of The Acute Care Hospital Environment, Mona Shattell, Beverly Hogan, Sandra Thomas
“It’S The People That Make The Environment Good Or Bad:” The Patient’S Experience Of The Acute Care Hospital Environment, Mona Shattell, Beverly Hogan, Sandra Thomas

A review of contemporary nursing research reveals a tendency to focus on select aspects of the hospital environment such as noise, light, and music. Although studies such as these shed light on discrete aspects of the hospital environment, this body of literature contributes little to an understanding of the entirety of that world as the patient in the sickbed experiences it. The purpose of the study detailed in this article was to describe the patient’s experience of the acute care hospital environment. Nondirective, in-depth phenomenological interviews were conducted, then transcribed verbatim, and analyzed for themes. Against the backdrop of “I …

“Putting Feet To What We Pray About:” The Experience Of Caring By Faith-Based Care Team Members, Mona Shattell, Catherine Hasty
Mona Shattell
The purpose of this study was to explore the experience of caring by faith-based care team members. Nondirective, in-depth phenomenological interviews were conducted, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed for themes. Participants included 19 care team members who served on faith-based care teams providing in-home support for families with chronic and/or terminal illness. Analysis of the interview texts resulted in the following four themes: "putting feet to what we pray about," "building and sharing relationships," "it makes you more aware," and "because it's a team." Participants expressed a strong reciprocity in their experience; for example, "it's a mutual thing but I think …
“Nurse Bait:” Strategies Hospitalized Patients Use To Entice Nurses Within The Context Of The Nurse-Patient Relationship, Mona Shattell
“Nurse Bait:” Strategies Hospitalized Patients Use To Entice Nurses Within The Context Of The Nurse-Patient Relationship, Mona Shattell
Mona Shattell
Patients on medical-surgical and psychiatric inpatient units long for more and deeper connections with nurses. Patients’ dependence on the nursing staff, as well as their perceived powerlessness, creates a situation where patients believe they have to actively find ways to seek needed nursing care. This paper will describe active strategies used by medical-surgical patients to entice nurses within the context of the nurse-patient relationship; strategies designed to mitigate vulnerability and increase interpersonal connection. Implications for nursing practice and for Peplau’s Theory of Interpersonal Relations will be presented.

Women's Anger, Agression, And Violence, Sandra Thomas
Women's Anger, Agression, And Violence, Sandra Thomas
Sandra Thomas
Themes of powerlessness, power, and paradox predominate in this reflection on more than 15 years of research on women's anger. Studies conducted in the United States, France, and Turkey are highlighted. These studies have negated several myths while illuminating the general rationality of women's anger: It is squarely grounded in interpersonal interactions in which people deny women power or resources, treat them unjustly, or behave irresponsibly toward them. The offenders are not strangers; rather they are their closest intimates. But few women learned healthy anger expression while growing up. Anger is a confusing and distressing emotion for women, intermingled with …
An Exploration Of Problematic Interviewee Behaviors In Qualitative Research, M. Collins, M. Shattell, Sandra Thomas
An Exploration Of Problematic Interviewee Behaviors In Qualitative Research, M. Collins, M. Shattell, Sandra Thomas
Sandra Thomas
The interview is a staple of many qualitative approaches. Although textbooks offer extensive guidance to researchers about conducting interviews, less guidance is available about problematic interviewee behaviors, such as flattery or statements indicative of social desirability response bias. In this study, a secondary analysis of 22 phenomenological interview transcripts, we sought to examine problematic interviewee behaviors. More than 300 pages of typed text were subjected to line-by-line scrutiny, yielding only six potential instances of the phenomenon. Each could be interpreted several ways. What appeared to be flattery could also be perceived as simple gratitude or appreciation. We concluded that problematic …
