▼ As climate change accelerates, its effects are especially pronounced in the Arctic region. The Arctic has a history of susceptibility and vulnerability to climate change. The Arctic's indigenous peoples are facing increased challenges, most notably in their abilities to harvest food resources. This thesis uses field research and literature review to explore the ways in which Inuit in Greenland are able to manage their resources and responses to the changing climate conditions, and to prevent and cope with climate related injury. An in-depth analysis of the plight of the Inuit includes discussion of the historical political, social, economic, cultural, and geographical factors that shape and inform their methods of responding to climate change. This thesis describes ways that the Inuit perceive climate change and interact with their changing environment, and the extent to which they apply their traditional ecological knowledge and contemporary technology to survive and shape policy that influences their coping responses. It also discusses Inuit people's vulnerability to injury in relation to climate change. In this thesis, I argue that climate-related changes in sea ice conditions increase vulnerability to potential injury events during travel on ice for Greenlandic Inuit hunters and fishermen, particularly in remote locations. Specifically, individuals living in remote areas have less access to resources that can increase their chances for survival than do their counterparts living in population centers. In general, Inuit employing a wide range of coping responses are better positioned to act in response to climate change in spite of the emerging hazards. In addition, my research illustrates that different individuals within and across Inuit communities will be successful in this regard, which is largely based on historical legacy, intra-community access to resources, and differences within and between communities (including, e.g., gender, age, occupation, and location). Inuit individuals that I found to be the most successful in employing a wide range of coping responses include those who are hunters by occupation, and work as fishermen as well, living in or near larger population centers, with good access to resources and high levels of traditional ecological knowledge that is continuously negotiated in response to rapidly changing environmental conditions. Finally, in this thesis, I draw conclusions concerning which Inuit are most vulnerable to increased risk of injury related to changing sea ice, and which types of responses are most effective. The Inuit that I have found to be most vulnerable to increased risk of injury related to changing sea ice are those who are younger, traditional hunters living in more remote coastal villages, with reduced access to resources, low levels of traditional ecological knowledge, and limited hunting/fishing skills. Based on my research, the types of responses that I found to be most effective include making extra preparations, such as taking extra food and supplies, before going…

▼ Despite extensive prevention efforts, suicide continues to be the tenth leading cause of death in the United States (Centers for Disease Control (CDC), 2012). One possible explanation may be lack of coordination between the organizations that provide suicide prevention services. Because client well-being often relies on the integrated actions of multiple organizations, the factors that promote interorganizational collaboration should be identified and fostered. The present study involved structured interviews with agency representatives in the suicide prevention network in one
Colorado community. The objective of this exploratory study was twofold: 1) to assess the cohesiveness and pattern of relationships between organizations across seven collaborative domains related to suicide prevention, and 2) to identify the indicators of relationship strength that are most relevant to different domains of interorganizational collaboration and collaborative intensity. Results were examined through a combination of social network analysis and statistical correlation and regression analyses. Overall, organizations reported collaborating more on sharing information and resources and sending and receiving referrals than they did on developing service infrastructure, and coordinating training and screening activities. Across all seven collaborative domains, there was a subset of organizations that was well connected and another group of organizations that consistently played a more peripheral role in the network. Model comparisons revealed that the influence of relationship strength indicators varied across the seven collaborative domains and that trust was the most significant predictor of collaborative intensity. Strategies to improve collaboration among organizations are suggested.

▼ The U.S. media frame news stories with certain keywords, sources, themes, tones, and concepts that influence what media consumers think about and how they think about certain issues or public figures, particularly international issues and leaders. In order to examine media framing of the late Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, this qualitative content analysis compares media coverage in the liberal The New York Times and the conservative The Washington Times during the last year of the Bush administration and the first year of the Obama administration. By utilizing framing theory and Robert Entman's definition of political framing, this study explores how article themes, tones, and sources may differ among newspapers and may differ during different U.S. presidential administrations. This study suggests that U.S media often reflect the views of the American president and government, that a change in presidential administrations did affect how Chavez is portrayed in the U.S. newspapers, and that different newspapers framed the Venezuelan president differently.

▼ The goal of this study was to determine the extent to which a brief parenting intervention provided the context for helping families to support positive mother-child interactions as well as more optimal mother and child outcomes. Participants in this study were middle-income mothers and their children ages 0-3 years of age (N = 25 dyads). Participants were filmed via Skype during a 20-minute mother-child free play and completed questionnaires (Time 1) before attending the brief intervention (involving: 3 hours of a group workshop, brief reading materials, one hour of one-on-one coaching, and two weeks of tailored texts) followed by a repeat of the 20-minute Skype interaction and the completion of the same questionnaires (Time 2). Paired samples t-tests were performed, revealing that mothers reported improvements in their personal well-being (using the Flourishing Scale), reports about the mother-child relationship (using the Emotional Availability Self Report), and observed interactions, particularly the child's side of the relationship (using the Emotional Availability Scales), from pretest to posttest. Results are discussed in terms of a brief intervention potentially having a role in "planting a seed" for parenting enhancement and child development.

▼ Drug and alcohol addiction are highly destructive, reaping significant damage on society, on addicts, and on their families and friends. The past century has seen a vast increase in the treatment of addiction, but these methods have failure rates of 50% or greater. This work seeks an alternative approach to addiction treatment, using the concept of reflective aesthetic judgment presented by Immanuel Kant in the Critique of Judgment. This approach is justified by an examination of the experiences of addicts, working from the problem as it is understood to a possible solution. Because the problem is an inadequacy of willpower, cognitive treatment methods are unlikely to be successful. An aesthetic conception of treatment, which appeals to a common human aesthetic sense for the beautiful, offers a non-cognitive method that is universally communicable. This would appeal to people trapped in the isolated and alienated experience of addiction. The focus is a philosophical understanding of the mechanism of addiction, and identifying some of the necessary conditions for treatment of it. In light of this, suggestions are given for possible components of such treatment, such as art therapy, spiritual practices, and appreciation of nature.

▼ Latinos are the largest and most rapidly growing minority group in the United States. They also represent the fastest growing segment of the school-age population. The number of dropouts in the Latino population is significantly higher than other major ethnic groups. Latino/a students face discriminatory barriers within the school system such as overrepresentation in special education, lowered teacher expectations, and harsher disciplinary consequences than Non-Hispanic, White students. The purpose of this study was to explore perceptions, opinions, and recommendations to help improve Latino/a students' retention in high school. Interviews were conducted with middle-school staff. Qualitative document analysis was used to allow new opinions and recommendations to be found that could help increase Latino/a student retention in high schools. Multiple factors such as low parental involvement, few role models, and undocumented status were found to affect Latino/a students' participation in school. Latino/a students' self perceptions also seem to influence their school engagement. Changing policy and involving all the stakeholders involved in education are recommendations to improve Latino/a student engagement and school retention.

▼ Although clinical psychologists who work with older adults are expected to work competently in areas of death and dying, there has been little research that explores how client death impacts these professionals. Using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis, interviews with 10 professional geropsychologists were transcribed and analyzed for common themes across participants. Identified themes included: development of a different mindset in geropsychology; circumstances of memorable client deaths; personal/professional boundaries; impact of client death on clinical work; and developing specific coping strategies. Results from the present study suggested that despite grief reactions, participants believed that experiencing client death led to both personal and professional growth that helped them to become better clinicians. They also identified immediate reactions to client death that ranged from a sense of joy and peace to feelings of loss and regret. Participants identified specific coping strategies they used to cope with this phenomenon.

▼ As older workers continue to delay retirement, understanding the health and safety needs of an aging workforce will be critical over the next twenty years. The goal of the project was to determine the impact of age on workers in the construction industry as age relates to selected workers' compensation variables. Descriptive and multivariate analysis of over one hundred thousand workers' compensation construction industry claims for the
state of
Colorado was conducted to understand the relationship between the claimant age and workers' compensation costs by the causes and types of injuries and illnesses. The results indicated that the cost of injuries among older workers was greatest for indemnity costs alone, where there was a 3.5% increase in the indemnity cost of a claim for each year increase in age. Workers over the age of 65 were injured most frequently from falls, slips and trips and workers aged 35 to 64 were injured most frequently from strains. Though repetitive motion causes of injuries were not frequent among all age groups, they resulted in a 6.8% increase in the indemnity cost of a claim for each year increase in age. Strains were the most common type of injury for workers over the age of 35 but workers over the age of 65 experienced strains and contusions at similar frequencies. The shift towards an older work force will result in an increase in the proportion of occupational injuries among older workers, which will result in increased costs associated with lost work time and disability. Employers who wish to remain competitive must effectively manage a health and safety program that acknowledges the needs of the aging worker. Encouraging companies to address the specific needs of older workers is the first step in reducing the frequency and cost of occupational injuries related to older age.

▼ Despite advances in harvesting techniques, commercial logging continues to be one of the most dangerous occupations in the United States (US). In 2015, logging workers had the highest rate of fatal work injuries of all US industries (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2017). In 2016, the nationwide fatality rate for the logging industry was 100.1 per 100,000 full-time equivalent workers (FTE), almost 30 times higher than the nationwide fatality rate for all occupations combined (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2017). Logging in the Intermountain (Montana and Idaho, USA) region is especially dangerous due to steep terrain, weather conditions, and remote work locations. To date, there are very few studies which provide an analysis of logging safety and none which focus on the specific challenges and risks present in the Intermountain region. The specific aims and objectives of this proposal are consistent with the recommended strategic goals outlined in the National Occupational Research Agenda (NORA). Strategic goals six and seven in the NORA are to reduce the number, rate and severity of traumatic injuries and deaths involving hazards of forestry and to improve the health and well-being of forestry workers by reducing occupational causes or contributing factors to acute and chronic illness and disease (NORA Agricultural Forestry and Fishing Sector Council, 2008). The Systematic Approach to Training provided the overall model for this project. Several other models and methodology were also used to create an intervention program focused on logging workers operating in the Intermountain region of the United States. The intervention program consisted of an emergency first-aid training program that provided didactic instruction, relevant examples, and practical skills to respond to emergencies, which commonly occur in the logging industry. The justification of the need for an emergency first-aid training program in the logging industry was primarily based mixed methods analysis of five-years of workers' compensation data and focus groups with 63 professional loggers (Study 1). We then investigated the demographics and self-reported work-related musculoskeletal symptoms among a cohort of 743 loggers in Montana (Study 2). We also conducted a study to quantify safety climate and identify the determinants of safety climate (Study 3). A Systematic Approach to Training was then used to develop, implement, and evaluate an emergency first-aid training program that specifically addresses the challenges and hazards of the logging industry (Study 4). Approximately 7-months following the emergency first-aid training a qualitative analysis was conducted to evaluate the longer-term effects of the training program and identify curriculum improvements (Study 5).

▼ Although the importance of cultural competence for mental health professionals is widely agreed upon, it is often difficult to evaluate how this occurs in practice. The present study used a qualitative methodology to investigate the experiences of multiracial individuals in therapy with a particular focus on how race was addressed within the therapy relationships. Researchers investigated: 1) which, if any, microaggressions came up during psychotherapy, 2) how multiracial individuals made sense of microaggressions in therapy, and 3) what contributed to more positive experiences of discussing race in therapy. Thirteen multiracial individuals from various racial backgrounds were interviewed about their experiences in psychotherapy. Analyses revealed three major themes that occurred in all 13 interviews: therapist microaggressions, helpful therapist behaviors around race, and the impact of microaggressions in therapy. Multiracial microaggressions in the present study included: avoiding/minimizing race in therapy; denial of multiracial reality; stereotypical assumptions based on race; second-class status and treatment of multiracial people. Microaggressions negatively impacted the therapy experience such that many clients who experienced microaggressions felt worse, struggled with the dilemma of whether or not to confront microaggressions, became more guarded, felt therapy was not helpful, and ended therapy early. In addition to the themes of microaggressions in therapy, the present study also highlighted a number of positive ways that therapists addressed race with their multiracial clients. Results from the present study highlight both challenges and opportunities of doing culturally sensitive work with multiracial individuals.

▼ Children with traumatic brain injury (TBI) are currently under-identified and under-served in the American school system. The present study investigated factors associated with problematic behaviors including gender, number of head injuries and reported symptoms. Parents of students in grade school (K-12) from three research groups (children with TBI, children with learning disabilities and typically developing children) rated their child's behaviors and symptoms, and provided an injury history using the Brain Check Survey. Contrary to current literature, in the present study boys were not found to have more severe behaviors than girls overall for the TBI group, but rather both genders were rated similarly on behaviors. Analysis between behaviors and number of injuries was not completed as the TBI sample lacked variability in the number of injuries sustained per child. More severe symptoms were correlated with more severe behaviors overall for all three groups, with the TBI group demonstrating the strongest associations and more severely rated behaviors overall. Occupational therapists should consider that girls with a TBI may exhibit behaviors as severe as boys when evaluating children in order to ensure a proper diagnosis. Symptoms associated with behaviors being exhibited in children also should be evaluated and treated, as such interventions may result in improved behaviors.

▼ When focusing on advocacy for minority rights, it is beneficial to explore the role allies play in advocating for and supporting their peers. Thus, the purpose of this study was to examine how counseling psychologists working in
university counseling settings conceptualize their ally work, as well as how their counseling psychology training impacted their ally development. This study was guided by the tradition of phenomenological qualitative study, and constant comparison analysis served as the strategy for inductive analysis. Pre-doctoral interns and senior staff psychologists, who self-identified as heterosexual, were interviewed regarding their experiences and development with ally work. Results indicated that there is wide variation regarding how psychologists view the ally experience, but that individuals find common meaning, challenges, and training experiences within their ally development. In particular, results showed a predominant need for increased training in social justice advocacy and LGBT support within counseling psychology training programs.

▼ Obtaining a graduate degree is a commendable task due to the amount of time and effort required from the individual student. A great deal of past research has examined the undergraduate experience, but few studies focus specifically on the graduate student experience which is drastically different. The following studies both examined the graduate experience with specific focus on the following topics: the importance of resilience and utilizing coping tactics to reduce the impact of stress, discrepancies between actual and ideal mentors, discrepancies between personal goals and program requirements, and finally exploring how graduate students become and stay motivated while earning their degrees.

▼ The purpose of this study is to examine contributing factors of ATV injuries and deaths through application of the Agent-Host-Environment epidemiological model. By analyzing the associations between contributing factors and classifying these factors based on the model, appropriate intervention strategies may be identified. All US incident reports of ATV fatalities and injuries between 2011 and 2013 were obtained from the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). Each report was read and coded based on information available in the narrative incident report. Each coded variable was classified as relating to a section of the epidemiologic triangle: agent, host, or environment. Descriptive statistics were obtained for the coded variables and Chi-Square Automatic Interaction Detector (CHAID) analysis was performed in order to identify associations between predictor variables. A total of 1,230 incident reports were obtained and, after data cleansing, a total 1,193 fatality reports remained. While only 12% of cases occurred on farms, the calculated incidence rate in the farming population (.62 per 100,000 population/year) is higher than the overall incident rate in the United States (.13 per 100,000 population/year). Descriptive statistics showed low helmet use (11.85% of fatal cases) and high use of alcohol and drugs (84.2% of fatal cases). The CHAID results showed significant associations between all types of variables: agent, host, and environment. The present study provides nationwide statistics on ATV fatalities, approaching risk factor analysis with regard to the agent-host-environment epidemiological model. The three aspects of the epidemiologic triangle each contribute, and build upon each other, to create the combination of risk factors that lead to a fatal event. By modeling and categorizing risk it is possible to develop targeted solutions to the root cause of the hazard. Through use of legislation and training, many host-related risk factors can be controlled, use of engineering controls can mitigate risk due to the agent and/or physical environment, and use of targeted marketing strategies and education may be able to limit risk due to the social environment.

▼ This dissertation is composed of three chapters which examine the extent of reverse causation or the causal pathway in going from health to financial components of social economics status (SES) on the heath-SES gradient in Western Europe. In Chapter 1, I construct two population health metrics for survey-based data suitable for analysis across time and populations. To do so, I combine objective health indicators with the information available in the Survey of Health, Ageing, and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) dataset regarding health functioning and prognosis, and develop a strategy to assess and quantify a multidimensional concept of health that minimizes the influence of subjective factors (country, wave, age, and labor status) in the assessment process. The first variable, Health Stock, is an objective comprehensive health metric, which is a composite of an individual's level of function at a point in time as well as their expected transition to other levels of health in the future. The second variable - referred to as Functioning Stock – is restricted to the objective measures of an individual's level of function. In Chapter 2, I investigate the short term impacts of negative health shocks on the labor outcomes of working individuals across levels of education and country of residence in Western Europe. I propose a new definition of negative health shock as the onset of a decrease between two consecutive periods in the Functioning Stock, whose magnitude exceeds a given threshold (in percentage terms). The analysis identifies three countries (Switzerland, Sweden, and Spain) that are best at mitigating the occurrence of negative health shocks, other things held equal. I then show that on average in the European countries examined, labor outcomes are dose-responsive with the intensity of the health shock, and that the impact of a health shock is "U-shaped" across levels of education: compared to workers with a medium or high levels of education, the probability of having work as the only source of personal income ("working only") for low-skilled workers and for college-educated workers is less affected by the occurrence of a health shock. Assuming the loss of earned income is not fully compensated by benefits, we could infer that in the short term, reverse causation for negative health shocks could be steepening the slope of the SES-Wealth gradient for workers with the middle range level of education. I then investigate the cross-country variation in the magnitude of the impact of a health shock on the probability to continue "working only". First, we find that the rates of people left without labor income or benefits are extremely low in every country considered, indicating that social safety nets are effective. Without delving into the complexities of the country-specific social insurance systems and the associated variation in benefit generosity, it is impossible to conclude on the relative magnitude of reverse causation across countries. However, two groups of countries stand out by the way workers maintain a…

▼ This study examined the association of fathers' mindful parenting with adolescent problem behaviors and academic grades. Past research shows positive associations between mindful parenting and youth outcomes and supports the efficacy of parental mindfulness training for improving parent-child relationships and decreasing adolescent problem behaviors. Yet, much of this research is conducted with mothers, whereas fathers are less represented in these studies. Parenting research that has been done with fathers has highlighted the significant impact that a father-child relationship can have on a child's development, suggesting that mindful parenting might also be a useful avenue for study with fathers. In a sample of 244 families with participating fathers, this study tested the association between fathers' mindful parenting and adolescent internalizing behavior, externalizing behavior, and grades after controlling for fathers' general parenting and demographic characteristics. Results indicated that mindful parenting in fathers was associated with youth outcomes above and beyond fathers' general parenting and demographics, but only for youth-report of fathers' mindful parenting. These results indicated that when youth reported more mindful parenting by their father, they also had lower levels of externalizing and internalizing behaviors. Mindful parenting did not significantly predict grades. Outcomes of this study indicate a promising area of research regarding fathering and mindful parenting.

▼ The main goal of this study was to examine the interactions between perceived interparental conflict dimensions (i.e., threat, conflict property, and self-blame) and trait mindfulness in relation to depressive symptoms among adolescents. Age was also tested as a moderator of these associations. One hundred and fifty adolescents (range: 14-21 years old) visited the laboratory at the
Colorado State University campus where they completed various questionnaires on a computer. Results indicated that depressive symptoms were significantly and negatively associated with mindfulness. Of the perceived interparental conflict variables, threat was the only dimension significantly—and negatively—associated with mindfulness. There were no significant interactions between conflict dimensions and mindfulness in relation to depressive symptoms, and age was not a significant moderator. Although causality cannot be determined, the results indicate that perceived threat may be a risk factor for adolescent depression, and the results are in line with evidence that mindfulness based treatments may reduce depression for adolescents. Future research may want to examine whether other aspects of trait mindfulness (i.e., self-compassion and non-judgement) are more effective for buffering depressive symptoms in adolescents perceiving interparental conflict.

▼ Across contexts, female sex workers (FSWs) may be exposed to varying degrees and combinations of risks in their work, including but not limited to long hours, poor working conditions, disease transmission, unplanned pregnancy, violence, drug and alcohol use and abuse, debt, and various forms of harassment, discrimination, and exploitation. It is likely that the risks associated with sex work are greater in developing countries where sex workers have a low and stigmatized status, minimal capacity to earn an adequate income, limited level of control regarding clients accepted and services rendered, and restricted access to sufficiently resourced health and other services and support structures. The sex industry in Nepal is synonymously referred to as the entertainment sector. Women in the entertainment sector (WES) in Nepal are vulnerable to an array of occupational risks, which compromise their psychosocial health and empowerment, in turn limiting their ability to thrive and engage in protective behaviors. The present study involved the pilot test of a peer education intervention in collaboration with a non-governmental organization (NGO) to empower and promote the psychosocial and occupational health of WES in Kathmandu, Nepal. Ten WES were trained as peer educators (PEs) and, through formal and informal teaching opportunities, reached over 140 FSWs with psychosocial health promotion messages. In addition to a detailed literature review, method, and discussion, this dissertation comprises three manuscripts. The first manuscript presents results from a quasi-experimental pre/post evaluation with 160 WES, including those who were (n = 96) and were not (n = 64) exposed to the PEs, to assess the impact of the program on psychosocial and occupational health and empowerment outcomes. Results indicate that WES who were exposed to the psychosocial health promotion messages of the PEs reported significantly improved psychosocial health knowledge and perceived self-efficacy, ability to access resources, happiness, and job control compared to WES who were not exposed to the PEs. The second manuscript presents results from a mixed-methods evaluation to assess the feasibility of the program and its impact on the psychosocial and occupational health and empowerment of the 10 WES trained as PEs. PEs were surveyed at baseline, immediately post intervention, after 2-months, and after 10-months to evaluate psychosocial and occupational health, empowerment, and peer education efficacy. Upon completion of the program, one-on-one exit interviews were conducted with nine of the PEs and two field staff from the partner NGO to solicit more in-depth feedback about the program. PE survey results indicate the program had a significant impact on some aspects of psychosocial health and empowerment, with positive trends on many other variables. Exit interviews revealed additional positive impacts of the program, including enhanced confidence and communication skills and increased self-awareness and self-care behaviors. Overall, the…

▼ Occupational injuries represent a significant and costly social and public health problem, especially among health care workers, whose well-being impacts patient safety and quality of care. Mindfulness training, which teaches individuals to bring awareness and acceptance to the present moment, could decrease occupational injury rates while improving worker well-being. Mindfulness training has been proven effective in improving the health and well-being of clinical and healthy populations, but it has not yet been tested as an intervention to improve worker safety. Using a randomized waitlist controlled trial design with a mixed methods approach, the current study sought to: 1) conceptualize hospital health care workers’ experiences in adopting mindfulness practices within the context of an established health behavior theory; and 2) assess the impact of mindfulness training on safety outcomes among hospital health care workers. Hospital health care workers involved in direct patient care at two hospitals in
Colorado were recruited to participate in the study. Participants were randomly assigned to a group that participated in an 8-week Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) course first or to a waitlist control group, which completed the MBSR training after the first group completed the course. The MBSR intervention included eight 2.5-hour group sessions of meditation, yoga, and group discussion and one 7-hour silent session to train participants to incorporate the skills in their daily lives. All participants completed questionnaires measuring covariates and safety outcomes at baseline, post-intervention, and six months after they completed the training. Participants also answered open-ended questions about their experiences when adopting mindfulness practices taught in the course. In the qualitative portion of the study, a theory-driven thematic analysis approach was used to analyze the qualitative data with the key constructs of the Health Belief Model acting as the framework for the analysis. In the quantitative portion of the study, mean scores were calculated for each participant on the study variables at each time point. Univariate repeated measures analyses of variance (RM ANOVA) time X group interaction effects with alpha level .05 were used to compare the baseline and post-intervention scores on the outcome variables between groups. Paired-samples t-tests were used to examine the stability of the intervention effects from both groups’ post-intervention time point to the 6-month follow-up data collection on the significant outcomes for all participants. Hospital health care workers from a
university hospital system in
Colorado volunteered to participate and were randomized to the immediate MBSR intervention (n=11) or waitlist control group (n=12). The majority of participants were female and nurses. Qualitative results highlighted the benefits of mindfulness practice among health care workers, which included enhanced awareness and improvements in social relationships and interactions with…

▼ The growing empirical literature on meaningful work suggests that experiencing meaningful work is associated with many psychological benefits to the individual. However, very little is known about how lower socioeconomic status (LSES) workers experience meaningful work due to the lack of research with this population and assumption that pursuing meaningful work is a luxury. The present study sought to explore the experience of meaningful work among LSES workers through an interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) approach. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight LSES workers. Seven domains were constructed as a result of the data analysis: definitions of meaningful work, perception and psychological experience of meaningful work, internal conditions of meaningful work, external conditions of meaningful work, personal impact of meaningful work, strategies to enhance meaningfulness in work, and perspective on the relationship between meaningful work and SES. Participants defined meaningful work as similar to previous conceptualizations, perceived and experienced their current work as meaningful in diverse ways, and appeared to be generally positively impacted through meaningful work. Participants also identified direct and indirect conditions that support or hinder meaningfulness in their work and suggested strategies to enhance meaningfulness in their work. Finally, participants viewed meaningful work as an attainable psychological resource for LSES workers despite barriers.

▼ The purpose of this qualitative phenomenological study was to explore the experiences of individuals with chronic traumatic brain injury (TBI) who participated in an adapted group yoga intervention. Participants attended one-hour yoga sessions twice a week for eight weeks and described their experiences through focus groups and individual interviews. Data accumulated were analysed using a coding process to generate themes of what experiences occurred, how experiences occurred, and why experiences occurred. Participants described experiencing the yoga intervention as a progression from initially expecting physical benefits from yoga to feeling safe and comfortable in the yoga intervention classes and among fellow participants, and to experiencing physical, emotional, and cognitive changes. Participants stated that these experiences carried over into their daily lives, positively impacting their health maintenance and social participation. Participants attributed their experiences to various structural strategies of the intervention including commonalities among participants, the instructor's dual knowledge of yoga and therapeutic rehabilitation, as well as the adaptability of yoga to their personal needs. Additionally, participant experiences were attributed to a re-conceptualization of what yoga should look and feel like, enhanced body awareness, and feeling supported. The fact that the participants generally expressed beneficial outcomes indicates the need to further research adapted yoga interventions for the population of individuals with chronic TBI.

(more)
▼ Evidence-based practice (EBP) is defined as the use of current best evidence in making decisions about the care of individual patients. The magnitude of emphasis on EBP within the healthcare industry is articulated in the Institute of Medicine's (IOM) agenda that by 2020, 90% of clinical decisions will be supported by accurate and up-to-date clinical information that reflects the best available evidence. In contrast, medical practice based on best evidence may be as low as 25-50% and even lower within the nursing profession. The importance of objective measures toward fully achieving an evidence-based culture is supported in the IOM's call for the development of measures to "track and stimulate progress" of the EBP quest and in the Magnet Recognition Program® inclusion of empirical outcomes as the foundation of their model for exemplary nursing practice. Yet, no sufficiently comprehensive scales for measuring an evidence-based healthcare or nursing culture are available. Hence, the objective of this study was to develop a reliable and valid measure of the intrapersonal, interpersonal, and organizational predictors (i.e., attitudes, knowledge, social norms, and organizational controls) of the behaviors necessary for achieving an evidence-based nursing culture (EBNC). Using a modified version of the Theory of Planned Behavior, survey statements were developed to represent the predictors associated with each of four essential behaviors embedded within the ICER Model for Achieving an Evidence-Based Healthcare Culture©. Following pilot testing at a medical center, the survey was disseminated electronically to approximately 1500 nurses working at a larger health system. Structural equation modeling analyses conducted on survey responses from 559 nurse participants were used to establish a scale with acceptable internal structure and psychometric properties. This measure offers a diverse range of applications that includes evaluating progress toward achieving, and the accuracy and efficiency of interventions designed to promote, an EBNC.

▼ Due to educational and professional obstacles, as well as the psychological tolls associated with racism and sexism, Black women may feel pressured to present a self to the world that is viewed as acceptable to others. Through identity negotiation, a conscious process of shifting one's worldview and/or cultural behaviors (Jackson, 2004), Black women may adopt multiple identities that appease both the White and Black community. The need to investigate the collective identities among Black women using a non-White ideology, such as Black feminist model, is critically needed. The purpose of this investigation was to understand the effect of the negotiation of race, class, and gender identities on Black women's self-perception, specifically as it relates to their participation in the workforce, and personal and professional relationships. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews and the sample consisted of ten academically successful Black women. To be eligible to participate in this study, co-researchers must have met the following criteria: 1) self-identify as a Black/African American woman, 2) recently obtained bachelor's degree in the past 5 years, 3) currently working in a predominantly White environment, and 4) living in a majority Black urban area. Data from the interviews were classified through identified themes, and interpretative phenomenological analysis. Themes constructed from the data include: a) the complexity of the intersectionalities of race, gender, and class identities, b) negotiation of identities in predominantly White social and work environments, c) negotiation of identities in a predominantly Black environments, d) triggers for the negotiations of race, class, and gender identities, and e) conflicted anxieties towards negotiating identities. The results of this study may be utilized to develop intervention programs that promote positive self-worth, and the development of academic and personal success among Black women aspiring to enter the evolving workforce.

▼ The current study utilized qualitative methods to understand long term care (LTC) nursing staff's experience with hospice services and their perceptions of how their residents have experienced hospice services. More specifically, this study sought to understand nursing home residents choices to utilize hospice services, as well as understand differences LTC nurses have experienced in regards to these deaths. Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) was utilized to extract themes and subthemes from 10 interviews that occurred with LTC nursing staff. Four main themes were extracted from the data. These main themes are: LTC nursing participant's positive view of hospice, their perception that residents view hospice very negatively, why residents choose to utilize hospice services, and why residents choose not to utilize hospice services. A number of subthemes were extracted as well. Content analysis was also utilized to extract one noteworthy concept that did not fit within the guidelines of IPA, which was a comparison of two resident deaths, one that occurred with and without the utilization of hospice services. These themes and the noteworthy concept pointed to a contradiction between the LTC nursing staff's positive view of hospice and their belief that their residents view hospice services very negatively.

▼ Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a virus that attacks and impairs the body's natural defense system against disease and infection, in part through depletion of nutrients that are implicated in malnutrition and weight loss. Many nutritional problems among people living with HIV can be managed via nutrition intervention. No wide scale evaluation of HIV patient access or adherence to comprehensive nutrition intervention exists; however, there are potential barriers among patients to following nutrition advice from healthcare providers even when delivered. An online questionnaire among healthcare providers, along with focus groups and semi-structured interviews among patients living with HIV at three healthcare settings in
Colorado were utilized in the current study in an effort to identify the barriers to nutrition management among people living with HIV. Healthcare providers reported being limited in the amount of nutrition intervention they could provide based on a lack of time and in-house referral services, and the co-occurrence of multiple illnesses among patients that demanded time and energy during appointments. Patients were limited in their ability to optimally manage their diet based on finances and transportation available for acquiring food, side effects associated with ARV (antiretroviral) medications, and their own cooking and meal planning skills. The nature of the barriers identified in the current study suggested a systems approach to optimizing nutrition management among HIV-positive patients may be an appropriate future direction of action.

▼ This study examines the relationship between physical presence and empathy across three technology modalities: 1) virtual reality head-mount displays, 2) desktop virtual reality, and 3) text narratives with photographs displayed on a computer screen. Additionally, it examines if public support for a novel public health intervention increases when participants engage in a perspective-taking exercise designed to evoke empathy. Last, the study explores whether the benefits of empathy arousal, specifically the reduction of stereotypes toward the marginalized, depend on the technology modality used in the perspective-taking exercise. Prior studies have consistently found a positive correlation between physical presence and fear and anxiety, especially studies that have used virtual reality head-mount displays to induce presence. However, few studies have examined the relationship between physical presence and empathy. Although some studies have found a positive correlation between physical presence and empathy, these studies are few, lack comprehensive and consistent measurement, and commonly do not test the superiority of virtual reality head-mount displays at evoking empathy against more traditional technology modalities. Last, studies using virtual reality head-mount displays have found inconsistent results in how empathy affects public support and stereotypes. A 1x4 lab experiment (N = 199) was carried out to fill in these research gaps. Results include the follow: 1) physical presence was higher in the virtual reality head-mount display condition compared to the desktop virtual-reality condition and the text narrative and photograph condition; 2) physical presence was positively correlated with all four dimensions of empathy—perspective taking, fantasy, personal distress, and empathic concern; however, the relationship between presence and empathic concern was moderated by participants' mental health; 3) the amount of empathy participants experienced did not differ by experimental condition; however, cognitive empathy was lower in the control condition compared to each experimental condition; 4) public support was positively correlated with three of the four dimensions of empathy including perspective taking, fantasy, and empathic concern; 5) perceptions of stereotypes of people who inject drugs were higher in the control condition compared to the desktop virtual-reality condition and text narrative condition, but not the virtual reality head-mount display condition. Overall, this study adds to a growing body of literature exploring the benefits of virtual-reality perspective-taking exercises in three important ways. First, this study strengthens the assertion that virtual-reality head-mount displays produce more physical presence compared to desktop virtual reality and text narratives with photographs. Second, aligned with prior research, this study provides evidence of a positive correlation between physical presence and empathy arousal. However, in this study, empathy arousal appears to be increasing presence,…

▼ This study examined the effects of two journalistic practices in reporting conflicting health-related scientific evidence on journalists’ and scientists’ credibility and whether the effects were mediated by perceived issue uncertainty. The two practices examined were presentation format and hedging. When conflicting findings are reported, journalists can use either a one-article format, using one story to report the conflict, or a two-article format, using two stories with each story representing one side of the conflict. When conflicting findings are reported, journalists can use hedging (e.g., reporting the limitations of scientific studies) to present the conflicting information. An online experiment was conducted to examine the two journalistic practices’ effects. Results include the following: 1) the one-article format was beneficial to journalists’ competence, but detrimental to scientists’ competence, as compared with the two-article format; 2) journalists’ and scientists’ credibility in the hedged news conditions did not differ from those in the non-hedged news conditions; and 3) perceived issue uncertainty did not mediate presentation format’s or hedging’s effects on journalists’ or scientists’ credibility. An exploratory follow-up mediation analysis found that perceived message believability mediated presentation format’s effects on journalists’ and scientists’ credibility. Theoretical, practical, and methodological implications are discussed.

▼ This study examined the relationship between Emotional Availability (EA) and Mindful Parenting (MP), as well as their independent and combined associations with indicators of adolescent well-being. EA is a well-established measure of parent-child relationship quality, but the existing literature for EA is limited to infancy and childhood, with minimal emphasis on adolescence. There is, however, expansive support for the importance of the parent-child relationship in adolescence for well-being in adolescence and early adulthood. Mindful Parenting is one construct shown to be associated with both positive parent-child relationships and adolescent well-being. The current study tests the association among EA, MP and indicators of adolescent well-being in a sample of 30 adolescent-mother dyads participating in a longitudinal study of the Mindfulness Enhanced Strengthening Families Program (MSFP) 10-14. EA and MP were assessed through observational coding of parent-adolescent interactions. Results indicated significant associations between EA and MP, and between each construct and adolescent outcomes. Additionally, individual EA Scales and MP dimensions were established as unique predictors of adolescent outcomes. These results indicate there is a significant relationship between EA and MP and both constructs are related to adolescent outcomes, with some specific contributions to indicators of adolescent well-being.

▼ This study examined the interpersonal nature of mindfulness by testing the association between mindfulness and marital satisfaction. The growing scientific study of mindfulness has emphasized how the physical body, cognitive thoughts and experienced emotions contribute to a general sense of personal wellbeing, but less focus has been on how mindfulness is connected to healthy interpersonal relationships. In a sample of 222 predominately middle-class, Caucasian, married mothers, this study tested the direct association between mindfulness and marital satisfaction and the indirect relationship operating through a general sense of wellbeing. Results indicated that a direct relationship between mindfulness and marital satisfaction was not statistically significant, but the indirect pathway of mindfulness to marital satisfaction via wellbeing emerged significant. Therefore, one possibility is that mindfulness affects marital satisfaction through creating a general sense of wellbeing for the individual. These findings encourage future research on mindfulness and marital satisfaction, and other possible pathways through which they are associated.

▼ Mindfulness interventions to address disinhibited eating have increased in popularity. Yet, there is surprisingly limited research explicitly describing the relationship of mindfulness with disinhibited eating, particularly in adolescents. In theory, mindfulness may be inversely related to disinhibited eating because present-moment attention promotes an individual's ability to recognize and respond effectively to internal hunger and fullness cues, as well as to differentiate between physiological hunger signals and other internal or external stimuli for eating. The primary goal of this study was to evaluate the relationship of dispositional mindfulness to eating in the absence of hunger (EAH) in adolescent girls at risk for type 2 diabetes (T2D). The secondary objective was to evaluate the interactions among mindfulness, hunger
state, and a propensity for loss-of-control eating (LOC) in the prediction of eating behaviors, both with and without hunger. Participants were 107 adolescent girls (12-17 years) from diverse racial/ethnic backgrounds. Adolescents self-reported dispositional mindfulness, were evaluated for LOC by validated interview, and participated in two successive, standardized laboratory test meals to assess eating when hungry from a buffet lunch and EAH from a snack array. Adolescents rated
state appetite before and after the meal and snacks. In analyses adjusting for age (years), race/ethnicity, body composition (percent body fat, lean mass, and height), and depressive symptoms, mindfulness was inversely related to EAH. Accounting for similar covariates, meal energy intake was not affected by mindfulness, but instead was predicted by a significant interaction of
state hunger by LOC. Girls with LOC and high hunger ate the most as compared to girls with LOC and lower hunger or to girls without LOC. Results from the current study suggest that mindfulness may play a role in more effective regulation of food intake in girls at-risk for T2D; however, a propensity for LOC eating may be particularly salient for overeating in a
state of high hunger.
