Secondary Prevention For Acute Coronary Syndrome In Rural South Australia: Are Drugs Best? What About The Rest?, Tracey Wachtel, Angela Kucia, Jennene Greenhill
Secondary Prevention For Acute Coronary Syndrome In Rural South Australia: Are Drugs Best? What About The Rest?, Tracey Wachtel, Angela Kucia, Jennene Greenhill
Angela Kucia
Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Current Australian clinical guidelines recommend all patients with ACS receive comprehensive secondary prevention services to address this burden. Optimal patient outcomes rely on the timely and effective implementation of proven therapies and for secondary prevention to be successful, pharmcological interventions must be combined with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factor identification and management. The ability to implement clinical guidelines is also reliant on available resources, yet many rural populations in Australia do not have access to structured secondary prevention services, and the level of support available to them …

Continuous St/T Wave Monitoring During An Acute Coronary Syndrome Presentation In Patients With The Coronary Slow Flow Phenomenon (Csfp), Natalie Cutri, Angela Kucia, John F. Beltrame
Angela Kucia
The coronary slow flow phenomenon (CSFP) is a coronary microvascular disorder that typically presents as an acute coronary syndrome and is characterised by delayed vessel opification on angiography in the absence of obstructive coronary artery disease. This study compared the frequency of the ST segment (STs) and T wave (TW) change during continuous ST/T wave monitoring in healthy controls and patients with the CSFP.

ST segment (STs) and T wave (Tw) changes are markers of myocardial ischaemia. However, STs changes have been reported with changes in body position. The effect of body position on Tw changes is unknown and the objective of this study.

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 …

How Patients And Nurses Experience The Acute Care Psychiatric Environment, Mona Shattell, Melanie Andes, Sandra Thomas
Mona Shattell
The concept of the therapeutic milieu was developed when patients’ hospitalizations were long, medications were few, and one-to-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 United States (US), 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, …
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
“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.

Background: Literature suggests that the employment of female domestic workers is not based on the labour needs of the country, but mainly on the needs of working women. There are approximately 23,000 female migrant domestic workers in Cyprus. Objectives: To evaluate the sexual and reproductive health needs (SRH) of migrant domestic workers in Cyprus. Participants: The study sample consisted of 40 female domestic workers (30 from Philippines and 10 from Sri Lanka). Accidental sampling was used to collect participants from gathering areas of these particular ethnic groups in the main area of Nicosia (Cyprus). Participation was voluntary and participants signed …

Four major themes with universal and diverse patterns which supported the themes were discovered. The themes were faculty care as embedded in Christian religious values, beliefs, and practices; faculty teaching culture care without an organizing conceptual framework; faculty …

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
Sandra Thomas
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 …
