Predictors Of Depressive And Anxiety Symptoms Among African American Hiv-Positive Women, Nina Katherine Sublette
Predictors Of Depressive And Anxiety Symptoms Among African American Hiv-Positive Women, Nina Katherine Sublette
Theses and Dissertations (ETD)
This descriptive correlation study had four purposes: describe depressive and anxiety symptom levels in pregnant and non-pregnant African American (AA) HIV-positive women, examine the association between underlying vulnerabilities and depressive symptoms in HIV-positive AA women, determine the association between underlying vulnerabilities and anxiety symptoms in AA HIV-positive women, and determine the predictors of depressive and anxiety symptoms among African American HIV-positive women. A convenience sample of 80 African American HIV-positive women was recruited from university-based obstetrics/-gynecology and infectious disease practices in a large metropolitan city in the Mid-South. Depressive symptoms were measured with the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale …
How Patients And Nurses Experience The Acute Care Psychiatric Environment, M.M. Shattell, M. Andes, Sandra Thomas
How Patients And Nurses Experience The Acute Care Psychiatric Environment, M.M. Shattell, M. Andes, Sandra Thomas
Faculty Publications and Other Works -- Nursing
The concept of the therapeutic milieu was developed when patients’ hospitalizations were long, medications were few, and oneto- one nurse–patient interactions were the norm. However, it is not clear how the notion of ‘therapeutic milieu’ is experienced in American acute psychiatric environments today. This phenomenological study explored the experience of patients and nurses in an acute care psychiatric unit in the USA, by asking them, ‘What stands out to you about this psychiatric hospital environment?’ Three figural themes emerged, contextualized by time, which was a source of stress to both groups: for patients there was boredom, and for nurses, pressure …
Life Trajectories Of Female Child Abuse Survivors Thriving In Adulthood, Sandra Thomas, J.M. Hall
Life Trajectories Of Female Child Abuse Survivors Thriving In Adulthood, Sandra Thomas, J.M. Hall
Faculty Publications and Other Works -- Nursing
A narrative study of thriving adult female survivors of childhood maltreatment was undertaken to discover how they had achieved success. Life trajectory patterns, turning points, and setbacks were identified. Data consisted of 81 interview transcripts derived from a series of three interviews, spaced over 6 to 12 months, with 27 survivors. The childhood abuse was intrafamilial, beginning as early as infancy and continuing, in most cases, until participants left home. The onset and pace of the healing trajectory were quite variable, including a roller-coaster pattern as well as patterns of slow, steady progress and continued struggle. Four types of redemption …

Risk And Protection For Hiv/Aids In Hispanic, Black, And White Adolescents, T. Robin Bartlett, Raymond Buck, Mona Shattell

African Americans and Hispanics are disproportionately affected by HIV/AIDS in the US. HIV infection is often acquired during adolescence, a time when risky sexual behaviors are at their peak. This study explored relationships among selected risk factors, protective factors, and risky sexual behaviors among African American, Hispanic, and white adolescents, from a sample of adolescents from The National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health. African Americans and Hispanics were more likely to have sexual intercourse without the use of birth control than whites. African Americans were more likely to have sexual behavior with multiple sexual partners than either Hispanics or whites. …

Mental Health Service Needs Of A Latino Population: A Community-Based Participatory Research Project, Mona Shattell, Desmina Hamilton, Sharon Starr, Courtney Jenkins, Norma Hinderliter
Mona Shattell
Community-based participatory research bridges the gap between academic researchers and the real-life issues of communities and offers promise for addressing racial and ethnic disparities in mental health care. The purpose of this community-based participatory research was to identify factors that affect access, use, and perception of mental health services by a Latino population at individual, organizational, and community levels. Individual level factors included health beliefs about mental illness and care, suspicions of providers, financial concerns, and culturally determined gender roles. Organizational factors included problems with access to care related to cost, lack of bilingual providers and culturally competent care; and …

Healing Scents: An Overview Of Clinical Aromatherapy For Emotional Distress, Andrea Butje, Elizabeth Repede, Mona Shattell
Healing Scents: An Overview Of Clinical Aromatherapy For Emotional Distress, Andrea Butje, Elizabeth Repede, Mona Shattell
Mona Shattell
Individuals in emotional distress are often treated with psychotherapeutic agents, but other treatment options exist (Hogan & Shattell, 2007). One safe and effective adjunct for the prevention and treatment of emotional distress is aromatherapy (Field et al., 2005; Kuroda et al., 2005; Lemon, 2004), the therapeutic use of inhaled essential oils. Aromatherapy is one of the fastest growing modalities in complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) in the United States (U.S.) (d’Angelo, 2002), but research on aromatherapy is relatively scant and few nursing programs offer courses in aromatherapy. This article describes the physiological effects of scent, reviews the research on aromatherapy, …

“I Have Always Felt Different:” The Experience Of Childhood Ad/Hd, Mona Shattell, T. Robin Bartlett, Tracie Rowe
Mona Shattell
Childhood attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (AD/HD) is one of the most important psychiatric problems of our time. This study examined the experience of childhood AD/HD within the contexts that are most significant to this age group – home, school, and friendships. The sample included 16 college-enrolled young adults (ages 18 - 25) with a self-reported history of AD/HD. Participants revealed feelings of difference, misunderstanding, and struggle in all areas of their lives (home, school, and friendships). Nurses can use these findings to improve the care and long-term outcomes of children diagnosed with AD/HD.

Factors Contributing To Depression In Latina Women Of Mexican Origin Residing In The United States: Implications For Nurses, Mona Shattell, Katherine Smith, Ann Quinlan-Colwell, Jose Villalba
Mona Shattell
Background: Latinas experience more depression and are less likely to receive mental health support. Latinas of Mexican origin living in the United States (US) are the focus of this review since almost two-thirds of the US Latina/o population is of Mexican descent.
Objective: This paper synthesizes the research on depression in adult Latinas of Mexican origin residing in the US.
Study Design: The Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Medline (PubMed), and PsycINFO databases for the years 2000 through 2008 were searched using the keywords Latina, Latino, Hispanic, Mexican-American, Mexican immigrant, women, and depression. The identified articles …

Moving from the doctoral student role to the faculty member role is a challenging transition. Strategies that motivate and help to keep scholarship moving forward can be invaluable in helping to make the transition successful. The authors discuss 2 visual tracking strategies to promote the forward movement of scholarship. A white (dry erase) board and a publication trajectory table to track manuscript and research ideas through grant proposal and manuscript submission to publication are described.
Relationship Skills Building With Older Adults, Cheryl Mcneill, Mona Shattell, Eileen Rossen, T. Robin Bartlett
Relationship Skills Building With Older Adults, Cheryl Mcneill, Mona Shattell, Eileen Rossen, T. Robin Bartlett
Mona Shattell
Relationship skills building is the focus of an innovative clinical experience with older adults for junior level nursing students in a psychiatric mental health course. The clinical experience is designed to help students apply, integrate, and validate previously learned therapeutic communication skills and experience discovery of self and others. This article describes a clinical experience that introduces students to older adults, who will make up the majority of health care recipients in the students’ future careers, and helps students explore the nurse’s role in mental health care for older adults.
Not only did students engaged in the clinical experience learn …
