This tool was developed as a research tool but has been found clinically useful in both inpatient and outpatient settings to help voice hearers and nurses develop a shared terminology of auditory hallucinations. Using the AHIG, voice hearers are able to tell their story in a structured and safe environment that encourages recovery. Through respect and …

• Promoting the implementation of clinical practice guidelines at the point of care delivery is a hurdle to translating scientific findings into practice.

• As access to electronic evidence sources increase, the amount of evidence available to clinicians for clinical decision support is overwhelming.

• Increased adoption of electronic health records and clinical decision support tools will move clinical practice guidelines more rapidly to the patient encounter.

Nursing and Health Professions Faculty Research and Publications

Both clinical diagnoses and self-rated measures of mental illness are associated with a variety of outcomes, including physical well-being, health utilization, and expenditure. However, much of current literature primarily utilizes clinically diagnosed data.

This cross-sectional study explores the impact of mental illness and health care expenditure using 2 self-rated measures: self-rated measured of perceived mental health status (SRMH) and Kessler Screening Scale for Psychological Distress (K6).

Data from the 2011 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey Household Component, a nationally representative sample of noninstitutionalized individuals (n = 18,295), were analyzed using bivariate χ² tests and a 2-part model (logistics regression and …

Nursing and Health Professions Faculty Research and Publications

Background: Adherence to prevention, care, and treatment recommendations among people living with HIV (PLHIV) is a critical challenge. Yet good clinical outcomes depend on consistent, high adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) regimens. Mobile phones offer a promising means to improve patient adherence and health outcomes. However, limited information exists on the impact that mobile phones for health (mHealth) programs have on ART adherence or the behavior change processes through which such interventions may improve patient health, particularly among ongoing clients enrolled in large public sector HIV service delivery programs and key populations such as men who have sex with men …

Exploration of this framework begins with a discussion about client engagement and client participation with the role of clients in their self-care …
