Workplace Organization, Labor Process Control And Occupational Health. Ph. D. Dissertation, Linda A. Treiber Jul 2005

Workplace Organization, Labor Process Control And Occupational Health. Ph. D. Dissertation, Linda A. Treiber

Linda A. Treiber

The purpose of this research is to understand the complex relationships between working conditions and occupational health. The research draws from labor process theory that generally views worker control over the labor process as essential to non-alienated labor and from epidemiologic models of host, agent/exposure, and environment. Using General Social Survey 2002 cross sectional data, I investigate the effects of standard epidemiologic factors and worker labor process control factors in multivariate models to predict the dependent variables of workplace injury, persistent pain, exhaustion, and general health status. I suggest that labor process autonomy, social cohesion and skill utilization generally have …

Implementing Infant Hearing Screening At Maternal And Child Health Clinics: Context And Interactional Processes, De Wet Swanepoel, René Hugo, Brenda Louw Apr 2005

Implementing Infant Hearing Screening At Maternal And Child Health Clinics: Context And Interactional Processes, De Wet Swanepoel, René Hugo, Brenda Louw

Brenda Louw

Infant hearing screening has become increasingly widespread as research evidence a dramatic benefit when early
identification of hearing loss occurs before six-months of age. The Health Professions Council of South Africa
(HPCSA) has recently published a hearing screening position statement recommending infant hearing screening in three contexts: the well-baby nursery, at discharge from the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), and at Maternal and Child Health (MCH) clinics. The well-baby nursery and NICUs are established and internationally recognised screening contexts abundantly reported on whilst MCH clinics have not been investigated as screening contexts previously. The objective of this study was therefore …

Toward Semantic Interoperability In Home Health Care: Formally Representing Oasis Items For Integration Into A Concept-Oriented Terminology, Jeungok Choi, Melinda Jenkins, James Cimino, Thomas White Dec 2004

Toward Semantic Interoperability In Home Health Care: Formally Representing Oasis Items For Integration Into A Concept-Oriented Terminology, Jeungok Choi, Melinda Jenkins, James Cimino, Thomas White

Jeungok Choi

Objective: The authors aimed to (1) formally represent OASIS-B1 concepts using the Logical Observation Identifiers, Names, and Codes (LOINC) semantic structure; (2) demonstrate integration of OASIS-B1 concepts into a concept-oriented terminology, the Medical Entities Dictionary (MED); (3) examine potential hierarchical structures within LOINC among OASIS-B1 and other nursing terms; and (4) illustrate a Web-based implementation for OASIS-B1 data entry using Dialogix, a software tool with a set of functions that supports complex data entry. Design and Measurements: Two hundred nine OASIS-B1 items were dissected into the six elements of the LOINC semantic structure and then integrated into the MED hierarchy. …

Problematic Interviewee Behaviors In Qualitative Research, Melinda Collins, Mona Shattell, Sandra Thomas Dec 2004

Problematic Interviewee Behaviors In Qualitative Research, Melinda Collins, Mona Shattell, Sandra Thomas

Mona Shattell

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 …
