Further Validation Of The Body-Mind-Spirit Wellness Behavior And Characteristic Inventory For College Students, Nicole Mareno, Kathy Shadle James
Further Validation Of The Body-Mind-Spirit Wellness Behavior And Characteristic Inventory For College Students, Nicole Mareno, Kathy Shadle James
Faculty and Research Publications
Health promotion is a vital component of college health programs. College health professionals are challenged to find cost-effective, comprehensive measures to assess wellness and risk behaviors. Hettler’s 1979 Six Dimension of Wellness Model guided this inquiry. Physical, emotional, intellectual, occupational, social, and spiritual wellness dimensions were measured by the Body-Mind-Spirit Wellness Behavior and Characteristic Inventory (BMS-WBCI). This study aimed to further validate the BMS-WBCI by reporting reliability as internal consistency of the scale when used to measure wellness in a sample of college students. A descriptive cross-sectional design was utilized. A convenience sample of 106 college students from a small, …
The Use Of Audience Response Systems In Nursing Education: Best Practice Guidelines, Nicole Mareno, Marie Bremner, Christie Emerson
The Use Of Audience Response Systems In Nursing Education: Best Practice Guidelines, Nicole Mareno, Marie Bremner, Christie Emerson
Faculty and Research Publications
The use of Audience Response Systems (ARS) or 'clickers' as an active learning strategy in nursing education has been steadily on the rise. ARS technology allows the dynamic engagement of students in the classroom by providing immediate two-way communication between faculty and students. ARS can be used to explore knowledge and common misconceptions, act as a springboard for classroom discussions, and can be used for testing or evaluation. The aim of this paper is to present best practice guidelines for both novice and experienced ARS technology users. A summary of the state of the research in this area will be …

Personal training is a rapidly growing industry in a country that is in dire need of physical fitness and health improvements. The purpose of this phenomenological study was to better understand women's experiences with personal training. To address the research question, eight female participants ages 24 to 54 years were interviewed using the following phenomenological question: "When you think about your current experience with personal training what stands out for you?" The interviews were conducted, transcribed, and qualitatively analyzed to identify themes in participants' responses. The ground that emerged was positive experience within which existed four figural themes: Relationships, trainer …
Can Urethral Retroresistance Pressures Predict Midurethral Sling Outcomes?, Patrick J. Culligan, Jennifer Lewis-Priestley, Linda Blackwell, Susan B. Tate
Can Urethral Retroresistance Pressures Predict Midurethral Sling Outcomes?, Patrick J. Culligan, Jennifer Lewis-Priestley, Linda Blackwell, Susan B. Tate
Faculty and Research Publications
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether preoperative urethral resistance pressure (URP) measurements could predict success or failure of a tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) sling.
METHODS: Subjects came from a previously published study comparing URP measurements to a validated urinary incontinence symptom survey (UISS). We contacted patients from that study to determine whether they had subsequently undergone TVT surgery. Within that cohort, we determined the “current” (i.e., postoperative) UISS and Sandvik urinary incontinence severity score. Success of a TVT sling in this group was defined in 4 ways: (1) postoperative UISS score < 3, (2) postoperative UISS score < 75% of the preoperative score, (3) postoperative Sandvik score < 6, and (4) postoperative Sandvik score < 2. These definitions of “success” were compared across demographic and treatment variables using the Student’s t test, ANOVA, χ 2 and ROC curves.
RESULTS: We contacted 69 women who had in fact received …

The Effect Of Payer Status On The Quality Of Diabetes Care: Results From A Reach 2010 Project, Charles Hossler, Carolyn Jenkins, Marilyn Givens King

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of payer status on indicators of the quality of diabetes care delivered in four health care systems that participated in a REACH Coalition’s efforts to eliminate health care disparities for African Americans with diabetes.
Design and Methods: Secondary analyses of data from 899 health care records of people who received diabetes care were conducted to determine differences in quality of care by payer status. Extracted information included process information related to frequency of A1C, lipid, and kidney tests, foot examinations, and blood pressure measurements, as well as intermediate health …

Background: HIV-awareness programs tailored toward the needs of rural communities are needed. We sought to quantify change in HIV knowledge in three rural Nigerian villages following an integrated culturally adapted and technology assisted educational intervention.
Methods: A prospective 14-week cohort study was designed to compare short-term changes in HIV knowledge between seminar-based education program and a novel program, which capitalized on the rural culture of small-group oral learning and was delivered by portable digital-audio technology.
Results: Participants were mostly Moslem (99%), male (53.5%), with no formal education (55%). Baseline HIV knowledge was low (< 80% correct answers for 9 of the 10 questions). Knowledge gain was higher (p < 0.0001 for 8 of 10 questions) in the integrated culturally adapted and technology-facilitated (n = 511) compared with the seminar-based (n = 474) program.
Conclusions: Baseline HIV-awareness was low. Culturally …

In general, people who perform repetitive motions are often vulnerable to repetitive strain injuries. Because musicians must execute the same motion over and over again while practicing and performing their music, they are an example of a group that often develops these repetitive strain injuries. More specifically, musicians are known for developing neuropathies in their upper limbs, with carpal tunnel syndrome and cubital tunnel syndrome being most common. However, because of varying playing postures, all musicians may not be at equal risk for developing these two neuropathies, so the purpose of this study was to identify which musician group has …
