Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

Depression is a highly prevalent mental health disorder that causes severe disability to the individual and results in substantial economic burden. Although depression can be reliably diagnosed and treated, total remission is rarely achieved, and relapses and recurrences are common. Current pharmacological treatments are limited in that they are often associated with severe side effects. Psychological treatments though effective have been shown to be rather costly and require time and commitment. Thus, it is necessary to expand current research to develop universal interventions in relation to mental health promotion, prevention and early intervention in addition to treatment delivery. An emerging body of evidence has suggested that nutrition plays an important role in mental health. Earlier research on single nutrients or foods and depression has shown that omega-3 fatty acids or fish, folate, vitamin E or zinc may be associated with a reduced risk of depression. Recent epidemiological evidence suggests that consumption of a healthy dietary pattern may be beneficial for preventing depression. This thesis explores the association of overall diet and depression by pooling together current evidence in a meta-analysis and explore primary cohort data to fill some of the gaps in current literature. Chapter 1 describes the rationale and aims of this research, and provides an overview of the thesis structure linking the published papers to the thesis. The meta-analysis described in Chapter 2 provides a summary of current literature examining the association of overall diet and depression, and synthesised study results using statistical methods. This chapter demonstrated that high intakes of fruits, vegetables, fish and wholegrains are associated with reduced odds of depression (OR = 0.84; 95% CI: 0.76, 0.92; P<0.001). However, this finding was largely based on cross-sectional evidence. Thus, the primary research conducted as part of this thesis aims to provide longitudinal evidence supporting the diet-depression relationship. Chapter 3 presents a brief description of the cohort datasets used for subsequent chapters of this thesis (i.e. Chapters 5-7). Chapter 4 describes the validation study of the food frequency questionnaire used in one of the cohort study (Hunter Community Study) from which the data for Chapter 7 was derived. This chapter confirms that the food frequency questionnaire was able to reasonably rank study participants according to their carotenoids and Vitamin E intakes (≥68% of individuals were correctly classified within the same or adjacent quartile), thus Chapter 7 can rely on the dietary data as being accurate. Chapters 5 and 6 examine the temporal association between diet quality and odds of depression: whether higher diet quality is associated with reduced odds of incident depression; and whether changes in diet quality are associated with changes in depressive symptoms. Chapter 5 found that high diet quality was associated with lower odds of incident…

▼ Over the past thirty years, HIV has become a worldwide epidemic. Given the surge in the rate of sexually transmitted diseases including HIV, this sheds light as a new worry for sexually active older adults, raising questions about risk behaviors among this group. The issues facing older adults are three-fold in that they are 1) not identifying themselves as being at risk; 2) not identifying risk behaviors; and 3) are not largely being identified in the public realm as participating in risk behaviors. For these reasons, understanding both environmental and individual factors and their unique influences on HIV risk behaviors among older adults is very important. A study was undertaken to develop an understanding of the environmental and individual population factors that predict HIV risk behaviors among older adults using population- based data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System and eight state level data sources, guided by Andersen's Behavioral Model of Health Utilization (2007). The model investigated the predictive ability of social and environmental factors in addition to individual factors on HIV risk behaviors. Methods: The research design for the study was a multilevel repeated cross-sectional design with a three level nested structure. The software package MLwiN was used to conduct the multilevel analysis using the Deviance Information Criterion (DIC) analytical method to assess the fit of models with Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) estimation. Using a nationally representative sample of 23,950 individuals from 2008 to 2011, nested in 51 states, the trend study allowed for an understanding of the state and individual-level factors that predict participating in HIV risk behaviors. Results: In each step, the model fit improved the DIC statistic. Overall, the results indicated that there were differences between states and their levels of HIV risk behaviors. While HIV risk behaviors decreased from 2008 to 2011, there was significant variation between and within states in the probability of individual HIV risk behaviors. States that had a higher percentage white females, a higher percentage of persons uninsured, a higher percentage of whites with AIDS, a lower percentage of Asians with AIDS, and a lower percentage of Other races with AIDS had a higher probability of individuals participating in HIV risk behaviors. All of the individual predictors of HIV risk behaviors were statistically significant. Conclusion: With the increase in older adults living with HIV or becoming diagnosed or infected later in life, it is paramount that HIV risk behaviors are examined in this population. Results indicated that states that had more white females, more people who are uninsured, and whites, Asians, and other races living with AIDS were environments that had higher levels of HIV risk behaviors. Recommendations for future research are made, with education, policy, and practice implications discussed. Advisors/Committee Members: Faul, Anna.

▼ Background:Amphotericin-B deoxycholate is an essential agent in the management of cryptococcal meningitis. Despite its proven antifungal potency it has several untoward side effects which include renal failure, hypomagnesaemia, hypokalaemia, phlebitis and nephrogenic diabetes insipidus. Hypomagnesaemia is an important but under diagnosed electrolyte abnormality in patients on Amphotericin-B therapy. The effects of hypomagnesaemia on mortality and morbidity in critically ill patients are well documented.In clinical practice, when patients are receiving Amphotericin-B for treatment of cryptococcal meningitis, routine monitoring of serum potassium and creatinine are advocated for but with little to no emphasis on magnesium. Therefore, this study was carried out on HIV infected patients with cryptococcal meningitis, who were treated with amphotericin-B at the University Teaching Hospital in order to determine the incidence of hypomagnesaemia if any. Methods Design: Observational Cohort study. Setting: University Teaching Hospital (UTH), Lusaka, Zambia.Data Collection and Analysis: 54 HIV infected patients with cryptococcal meningitis and scheduled to receive Amphotericin-B therapy were enrolled and each was followed up prospectively for 14 days. Baseline and follow-up (day 14) data which included sociodemographic characteristics, drug history, co-morbidities vital signs, Glasgow Coma Score (GCS), Karnofsky Score, serum creatinine, urea, magnesium, potassium, sodium and haemoglobin were collected. Statistical software STATA version 12.0 was used to analyse the data. The incidence of hypomagnesaemia was calculated using Binomial exact methods. A conditional logistic regression was used to estimate the unadjusted and adjusted odds ratio of hypomagnesaemia for various variables. Results We recruited fifty-four participants out of which thirty-three (n=33) were male and twenty-one (n=21) were female. The baseline prevalence of hypomagnesaemia was 40.7% and 96.8% after 14 days of Amphotericin-B therapy. CD4 count, NSAID use and rise in creatinine were associated with hypomagnesaemia. However, there was no significant association with alcohol, chronic diarrhea, HAART use and anaemia. The incidence of hypomagnesaemia after 14 days of Amphotericin-B therapy was 97 per 100 person days (95 % CI: 84, 99). We did not find correlation between serum magnesium and potassium (R2 = 0.025). All-cause mortality was 25% but the odds of death in those who were hypomagnesaemic were low OR= 0.95 (95% CI: 0.93, 0.96).Conclusion The baseline prevalence and Incidence of hypomagnesaemia after 14 days of Amphotericin-B therapy were high. Therefore, routine magnesium testing, monitoring and supplementation should be considered in HIV infected patients who are treated with Amphotericin-B. The study was inconclusive on the use of potassium levels as a surrogate marker for hypomagnesaemia because there was no correlation between serum magnesium and potassium.

▼ With population aging, the ethnic diversity among older adults in Canada is of great significance as the main source of immigrants to Canada has shifted from Europe to Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. Researchers have pointed out the need to use an ethnno-cultural lens in order to address social and health inequalities. Ethnic diversity and multiculturalism in Canadian society highlight the importance of understanding needs of ethnically diverse older adults and their caregivers to prevent marginalzation of certain groups of older adults. While prior research confirms that there are ethnic differences in beliefs about and attitudes toward family caregiving for older adults, there appeared to be a lack of evidence about ethnic variations in actual caregiving behaviors. The objective of this research is to increase understanding about ethnicity and care in Canada through an examination of ethnic variations in the family and friend care context and in access to health services. The data used for this study were from Statistics Canada’s 2002 General Social Survey on Aging and Social Support linked with selected modules of the 2001 Canadian Community Health Survey. The statistical analyses included multinomial logistic regression, logistic regression, and Tobit models. Overall, findings from this research pointed out that regardless of ethnicity, family and friend caregivers manage care responsibilities among a small number of care network members. Ethnicity was not a strong predictor of care network types, but it influenced the interface between family and friend care and formal care as well as the use of health services. Findings indicated that there may be ethnic-specific social capital that cannot be explained by care network structure, which influenced older adults’ use of health services. These findings point to the need for futrther research to better understand ethnicity and social capital for caregiving. As well, the findings of this research highlight the need for enhancing support for family and friend caregivers. As the Canadian population continues to age, public programs to help sustain their care networks are crucial, particularly as many older adults have only a few people who provide care to them.

Family caregiver-patient dyads that were randomized into the intervention group (n=202) received a two-session empowerment-education program designed to help family caregivers select, from among a variety of identified care actions, those they believed they could perform and would most like to focus upon. Family caregivers used the Family Preferences Index (FPRI) to indicate care actions they wished to perform while the relative was in the hospital. Family members completed the Family Care Actions Index (FCAI) to indicate care actions they actually performed while the relative was in the hospital. The purpose of this secondary analysis was to examine those care actions that were reported as actually performed for the hospitalized older adults by family caregivers receiving the CARE intervention and those receiving the attention-control intervention. Patterns of care giving, within and across the context of the following three identified care action dimensions of Li et als.’ (2000) family care actions typology were explored: (a) providing care to the patient, (b) working together with the health care team, and (c) taking care of self. Also explored were relationships between caregivers’ reported care actions and expressed preferences, and characteristics, including relationship (spouse or non-spouse), and perceived closeness with the older relative, as measured by Stewart and Archbold’s (1994) Mutuality Scale. Analysis of data that were collected during and after the older relatives’ hospital stays from 293 family caregivers indicated that (a) family caregivers provided similar proportions of care in two dimensions of the typology - providing care to the patient and working together with the health care team, (b) spouses provided similar amounts, but different types of care, compared to non-spouses, (c) family caregivers who provided more direct care actions for their relatives reported higher levels of closeness, (d) the majority of family caregivers wanted to participate in many care giving activities during the hospitalization, and (e) family caregivers who provided more care perceived a higher level of staff encouragement to participate in care. While it was assumed that many family caregivers continue their care giving role during the hospitalization of an older relative, these findings extend our understanding of the scope and variety of care actions performed. Additionally, attention to relationships between caregivers and their relatives will be helpful in determining the level of support and guidance family caregivers might need. Nurses are in a position to assess family caregiver preferences for participation, and to implement strategies that consciously include family caregivers in the care process. Tapping into family caregiver preferences and inclinations for participation in…

▼ The illicit use of opioids among young adults (18–25) has resulted in an increase of clients needing substance abuse treatment. Treatment programs are struggling to keep up with the influx of these young adults. Traditional models of care have some impact; however, there are not enough treatment centers that can address the young adult treatment needs, and the treatment community has been challenged to find developmentally appropriate care for this age range. Additionally, clients who enter into care often struggle with a negative self-concept due to feelings of shame and guilt resulting from their addiction. Many have resorted to intravenous heroin use to manage the effects and cost of their daily habit. The purpose of this study was to combine existing research-based treatment with interventions designed to increase self-compassion. The study enlisted young adult clients entering a medically managed suboxone treatment program within a large metropolitan health maintenance organization (HMO). After an initial assessment, participants attended an intake session to determine whether they met the inclusion criteria to enter the study. Once accepted into the study, patients were randomly assigned to one of two conditions: (a) three sessions of treatment-as-usual or (b) three sessions of treatment-as-usual with a focus on self-compassion. Treatment fidelity was examined and confirmed. ANCOVA was used to analyze data within the two groups related to the frequency of change talk. Independent t-tests were used to analyze data from the two groups related to client satisfaction. Results of the study indicated no significant difference between the two groups on both measures. Finally, a series of open-ended questions was asked at the last session of the study to identify common themes regarding client involvement in the self-compassion arm of the study to compare with the control group. The top three primary themes between the two treatment groups were a preference for (a) individual counseling (14/17), (b) structure (13/17), and (c) increased frequency of the program (11/17). The theme that emerged of a preference for individual treatments by the young adults in this study stands in contrast to treatment programs that focus on group-level interventions. A somewhat surprising finding was the willingness to attend more frequently; however, the type of frequency (more than once per week or weekly over a longer period of time) would need to be explored further. Finally, having a supportive place to go to stay out of trouble from temptations to use or hang around using peers was mentioned as important. Addressing unmet or delayed developmental needs for help with job skills, getting help with finishing or continuing their education, finding sober housing, meeting new friends, working on renewing family relationships, and learning how to manage finances are important skills that are often missing with this population. Having a safe place to go that focuses on these important life skills where the clients are… Advisors/Committee Members: Dykeman, Cass (advisor), McCarty, Dennis (committee member).

▼ Background: Outcomes for family caregivers is an important topic given the aging population, as providing care to a loved one, particularly an older adult, has become a common occurrence. With the growing numbers of people requiring care, family members are increasingly filling the caregiving role. Caregiving experiences can range from those that are relatively easy to manage to those that are burdensome and cause caregiver strain. Caregivers with the heaviest responsibilities are vulnerable to risks such as a decline in mental or physical health. Recent research has begun to address the positive aspects of caregiving including improved well-being and health benefits. What is less well known is how resources, both utilization and perception of adequacy, in the caregiving role may support the family caregiver in providing care to a community dwelling older adult. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine if resource utilization and family caregivers’ perception of resource adequacy are associated with caregiver strain and satisfaction, specifically if caregiver outcomes are moderated by resource utilization and adequacy. Methods: To examine caregiver outcomes and the association of resources with those outcomes, a secondary analysis of data from the Informal Caregiver Survey was conducted. Bivariate analysis and hierarchical regression models were used to examine the relationship between caregiving demands and caregiver outcomes of satisfaction and strain. Hierarchical regression with moderation was used to examine if resource utilization and perceptions of resource adequacy moderate the relationship between caregiving demands and caregiver satisfaction and strain. Results: A significant positive relationship was found between caregiving demands and caregiver strain, suggesting that as caregiving demands increase levels of caregiver strain do as well. The utilization of formal resources also has a positive relationship with caregiver strain indicating that as resource utilization increases so do levels of caregiver strain. Social support was found to have a positive relationship with caregiver satisfaction and a negative relationship with caregiver strain indicating that perceived levels of higher social support are associated with higher levels of caregiver satisfaction and lower levels of caregiver strain. Family support was found to have a positive relationship with caregiver strain, indicating that as levels of family support increase so do levels of caregiver strain. Finally, the perception of formal resource adequacy was found to have a negative relationship with caregiver strain meaning that higher levels of perceived adequacy are associated with lower levels of strain. Additionally, resource adequacy was found to moderate the relationship between caregiving demands and caregiver strain with individuals reporting the highest levels of resource adequacy experiencing the lowest levels of caregiver strain. Conclusion: Understanding the caregiving experience and the impact it has… Advisors/Committee Members: Janice Lee Penrod, Dissertation Advisor/Co-Advisor, Ann Marie Kolanowski, Committee Chair/Co-Chair, Amy M Sawyer, Committee Member, Rhonda Belue, Committee Member.

▼ Older adults increasingly rely on support from others to attain their goals in daily life. Adult children often offer support and become surrogate decision makers. However, children and their aging parents do not always see eye-to-eye on daily care goals. When goals clash, an older adult may be perceived as insisting, resisting, or persisting in their ways or opinions, or acting in a way commonly attributed to stubbornness. Such situations likely affect relationship and individual outcomes of families; yet, they are not well understood. This dissertation compiles three studies that examine elders’ behaviors commonly attributed to stubbornness. Study 1 uses semi-structured interviews with aging parents and their adult daughter caregivers (N = 10 dyads) to develop a broad understanding of how elders influence their care (including through stubbornness). Study 2 (N = 88 dyads) and Study 3 (N = 221 adult children) use survey data to examine the association between elders’ persistent behaviors and individual and relationship-based characteristics, as well as the effect of children’s responses to such behaviors. Study 1 demonstrates complex patterns of responses within families when there is conflict in care goals. Parents most commonly let go of their requests, while daughters reason with their parents and make decisions when they perceive safety or health-related needs. However, parents also display insisting and persisting behaviors. Study 2 confirms that adult children perceive their parents as acting in ways commonly attributed to stubbornness fairly often, and aging parents also self-report acting in this way. However, perceptions are linked to differential individual and relationship-based factors, and there are systematic differences in perceived parent stubbornness by adult children and their aging parents. Last, Study 3 shows that it is not just the perception of behavior that matters, but how adult children respond to their parents’ persistent behaviors that affect children’s depression, relationship quality, and support provided. Overall, this dissertation demonstrates that micro-level processes of responses to goal conflict within families affect care and support. Intervention work that addresses positive ways of responding to one another and encourages shared goal setting could prove useful in supporting elders into their latest years.

▼ With every generation living longer than the last, and the baby boomer generation (one of the largest generations in US history) starting to reach age 65, the demographics of the United States (U.S.) is aging. Older adults are one of the fastest growing segments of the United States population. In 2011, thirteen percent of all people in the U.S. were over the age of 65, and this population is projected to represent almost one quarter of the total US population by 2060. With advanced age and an increased prevalence of chronic illness and disabilities, the older adults’ population will require routine health care services to improve and maintain optimal health. Enhancing and maintaining the health of older adults is key to reducing cost and disease burden in the United States. Thus, with the goal of improving the health, function, and quality of life of older adults, the Health People 2020 proposed numerous objectives targeting the use of preventive services and long-term services and supports. This dissertation consists of three related components; each of which will broaden the understanding of the use of health care services among community-dwelling older adults. The first study examines the association between psychological distress and the utilization of United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommendations on preventive care services among community-dwelling older adults. The study uses the 2011 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS) for analysis, and the results show that community-dwelling older adults with psychological distress were less likely to use one, but not all, of the recommended preventive health services. The second study examines the healthcare cost associated with sensory difficulties. Sensory difficulties are common among older adults, and the prevalence is shown to increase with age. Using five MEPS panel data, the results show that community-dwelling older adults with sensory difficulties have higher utilization of office-based visits, emergency room visits, and prescription medications, and higher spending on office-based visits. Using the two most recent 2000 and 2007 National Home and Hospice Care Survey (NHHCS) data, the third study investigates the change in home health care utilization among community-dwelling older adults since the Supreme Court’s 1999 Olmstead v. L.C. ruling, which indicated that states should ensure that persons with disabilities are treated in the most integrated setting appropriate to their needs. The findings suggest significant changes in patient characteristics, functional status, and service utilized. This research improves the understanding of the healthcare cost and health services utilization of community-dwelling older adults. The research findings suggest that there are still unmet health care needs that can be provided to older adults living in the community.

▼ Addiction has seen to be an illness that not only affects the individual but the holistic well-being of the family. Primary caregivers form an integral part of the family system. The caregivers take on roles that might stagnate their own development and coping methods, which if used, could affect the entire family system. There are in-conclusive research on the effect of the coping method of the primary caregiver on the well-being of himself/herself and the family system as a whole. The aim of the research was to quantitatively, through making use of Orford’s Coping questionnaire, explore the different coping methods employed by the primary caregiver of an adult substance dependent and thereafter to qualitatively, through utilizing a narrative approach, explore the experience of the different means of coping. The study design was a mixed method study. Quantitative research was the dominant approach followed by qualitative research. The population was the primary caregivers of adult substance dependents who have sought treatment and who resided in the Mitchell’s Plain area. Eighty participants completed the coping questionnaire and four narratives were done. Quantitative research results was analyzed using SPSS and the qualitative research was analyzed by making use of narrative analysis whereby the interview was analyzed Labov and Waletzky’s structural model of narrative. The theoretical framework from which the researcher addressed this study was collaboration between the family systems theory and the disease model of addiction. Quantitative findings indicated that there more caregivers make use of tolerant coping than engaged and withdrawal coping. There is a distinction between the coping methods that males and females make use of. Qualitative findings indicated that there is no ‘correct’ way of coping with being the caregiver of a substance dependant. Caregivers take on coping methods that they are comfortable with.

▼ Eyewitnesses’ reluctance to reject a photographic lineup from which the perpetrator is absent has sent numerous innocent people to jail. Two groups of witnesses are particularly likely to make this error: children and older adults. In the case of children, the rate of false identifications on photographic lineups has been decreased using the wildcard, a card depicting the silhouette of a head and shoulders, over which a large blue question mark has been superimposed (Zajac & Karageorge, 2009; Karageorge & Zajac, 2011); children can point to the wildcard if the perpetrator is absent. Given that older adults’ false identifications are often attributed to poor memory for lineup instructions, we wondered whether the wildcard could work with this population, by serving as a reminder that the perpetrator might not be in the lineup. Young (aged 17 to 28 years) and older (aged 61 to 84 years) adults viewed 6 short film clips, each depicting a person committing a crime. Approximately 10 minutes after each film, participants were presented with a 6-person target-absent or target-present lineup. Half of the participants were presented with lineups containing the wildcard, and asked to point to the wildcard if the perpetrator was absent. Remaining participants were not presented with the wildcard, and were instructed to verbally reject the lineup if the perpetrator was not present. Participants’ memory for the lineup instructions was recorded prior to administration of the second lineup. Young adults outperformed older adults, irrespective of lineup composition or rejection condition. Memory for instructions did not differ as a function of age, but was positively related to target-absent lineup performance in the control group. The wildcard improved memory for the lineup instructions, but did not significantly increase lineup performance. Alternative cognitive explanations for poor lineup performance among older adults are explored. Advisors/Committee Members: Zajac, Rachel (advisor).

▼ Physical activity (PA) and smoking are inversely related, and PA is being incorporated as an adjunctive component to cessation interventions in younger populations. This study sought to better understand the effects of PA on smoking level as well as another target of cessation, smoking urges, in a sample of young adults enriched for past smoking. This study further examined the degree to which PA might function to reduce the association between mood and smoking outcomes. Participants were 190 ethnically diverse young adults (53.7% female; 91.1% current smokers) who completed an ecological momentary assessment week, during which they were prompted to answer questions about their mood (i.e., positive affect - PosA and negative affect- NegA) and smoking urges as well as event-recorded smoking episodes. They then completed a 7-day PA recall interview to obtain an assessment of five PA measures: caloric energy expenditure, non-work-related PA (NWPA), work-related PA (WPA), moderate PA, and vigorous PA. Between-subjects (BS) effects were the average of PA and mood reports. Within-subjects (WS) effects represented subjects’ daily deviations from their weekly mean. Mixed-effects regression models, controlling for body mass index and gender (when not a moderator), examined two questions: 1. Does PA predict smoking level and urges? 2. Does PA reduce the effect of mood on smoking outcomes? Results revealed that effects of PA on smoking varied by type of PA, whether associations were BS or WS, and gender. Results also showed that higher BS NWPA, BS moderate PA, and BS vigorous PA each reduced the link between low BS PosA and higher urges; however, the effect of vigorous PA was only present for males. Higher WS WPA enhanced the link between both low WS PosA and high WS NegA and higher urges. Finally, for females, higher BS moderate PA enhanced the association between mood and smoking level, such that higher BS NegA predicted lower smoking among more active females. Findings suggest gender and context-specific differences in associations between PA, smoking, and mood. Results are discussed in terms of the theoretical and clinical implications for the use of PA for smoking reduction and cessation in young adults. Advisors/Committee Members: Mermelstein, Robin J.

▼ Background: Aging and stroke-induced sensori-motor and balance impairments increase postural instability, thus leading to increased fall risk. Thus developing a training paradigm that promotes cardiovascular fitness while addressing postural stability and ambulatory function might be crucial in addressing community based activity profiles among these population groups. Purpose: To examine the effect of a multidimensional, dance-based exergaming training on improving postural stability, walking function, cardiac autonomic modulation and to further assess if these improvements would be carried over to community based activity profiles. Methods: Community dwelling individuals with hemiparethic stroke (N = 15) and healthy older adults (N =15) received dance-based exergaming training for 6 weeks using the commercially available Kinect dance gaming “ Just Dance 2014” for one hour and thirty minutes. Change in balance control was evaluated by the Limits of Stability test (Neurocom Inc.). The post-training changes in self-initiated center of pressure response time (RT), the movement velocity (MV), the maximum excursion (MXE) were examined. Heart rate variability was determined for pre- and post-intervention for 10 minutes in (1) supine. Gait speed and cadence were recorded using an electronic walkway. Changes in PA during community ambulation (one week before and after intervention) were assessed using Omran HJ-321 Tri-Axis Pedometer. To determine if the changes in functional measures assessing mobility (Berg Balance Scale [BERG]), endurance (six-minute walk test [6MWT]), and gait (speed and cadence) correlated with improved community ambulation, the difference in clinical measures and gait performance from pre- to post intervention was linearly regressed with the changes in community ambulation. Results: Post-training the RT was significantly reduced (p<0.05). Similarly, post-training, MV and MXE were significantly higher (p<0.05). Post-training there was a significant improvement in autonomic modulation in the supine position, indicating an improvement in LF, HF and LF/HF (p<0.05). Maximum work load and maximum oxygen uptake increased significantly post-training (p<0.05). The change in number of steps recorded in daily living from pre-to post intervention correlated with the pre-post change scores for functional measures BERG, 6MWT, gait speed, and cadence (p<0.05). Conclusion: The dance-based exergaming provides a benchmark for incorporating long-term adherent PA regimen in aging and stroke population, which along with improving cardiovascular functioning and walking function, improves community based activity profiles.

▼ This study explored stigma associated with mental illness among Indonesian adults living in Indonesia. It investigated how mentally ill adults (both mentally ill patients and mental health nurses) perceive mental illness and how they respond to stigmatization on a daily basis. Given the current state of knowledge with regards to the meaning and process of stigma and mental illness among adults in Indonesia, a constructivist grounded theory was considered to be the method of choice for this study. We recruited 15 nurses and 15 patients to participate in the study; all from a psychiatric hospital in Indonesia. Data collection methods involved semi-structured interviews with the 30 participants as well as mute evidence, field notes and memos. Data analysis occurred over a period of six months. In keeping with the basic principles of a grounded theory method (Charmaz, 2006) as well as Paillé’s (1994) structure for data analysis which are congruent with Charmaz’s principles and include stages of codification, categorization, linking categories, integration, conceptualization, and theorization, 5 discrete but interrelated categories were produced: 1) treatment of mental illness; 2) violence; 3) fear; 4) constructing cursed citizens; and 5) stigmatization. Research results show that the experience of stigma for mentally ill patients in Indonesia is pervasive and impedes mental health services utilization. The stigmatization of mental illness is manifested by family members, members of the community, mental health professionals and staff, and also by governmental institutions and the media. Stigmatization is characterized by violence, fear, exclusion, isolation, rejection, blame, discrimination, and devaluation. Moreover, because of their (mis)understanding of mental illness, patients and families turn to alternative treatments provided by non-professionals (shamans, Islamic leaders, paranormals and traditional Chinese medicine); these individuals play a central role in supporting and offering solutions for someone suffering from a mental illness. In Indonesia, stigma affects mentally ill individuals at many levels. Until stigma associated with mental illness is addressed nationwide, those suffering from mental illness will continue to suffer and be prevented from accessing mental health services. As the results of this study have shown, patients seeking treatment experience violence and fear. Families and their mentally ill relatives have been expelled by their community, or have simply disappeared. Both physical and psychological abuse and humiliation have led to patients being avoided, rejected, and neglected, and thus isolated, hidden, or abandoned to the streets. There is a pressing need to combat mental illness stereotypes in Indonesia and health professionals, namely nurses, government agencies as well as the media must play a pivotal role in this process.

In the long-term care setting, the licensed nurse and certified nurse aide provide direct patient care to these residents and may be more likely to identify nonverbal behaviors that may indicate pain (Nygaard & Jarland, 2006; Pautex, Herrmann, Michon, Giannakopoulos, & Gold, 2007). The Conceptual Model for Assessing Pain in Nonverbal Persons with Dementia highlights provider, patient, and method-related factors that can hinder the process of inferring pain in nonverbal persons with dementia. The purpose of this dissertation is to explore the impact of these potential barriers on pain assessment/screening. Each chapter of this dissertation explores provider, patient, or method-related factors that impair the judgment of pain in others, either through an integrative review of the literature or by secondary analysis of a data set that was originally collected for the psychometric evaluation of the Non-communicative Patient's Pain Assessment Instrument. Statistical analysis was completed using SPSS version 21.0. Results indicate that nurse-related factors are well supported in the literature as barriers to pain assessment and can impair the nurses' pain assessment decisions. Ethnic differences in the expression of the nonverbal pain behavior "pain words," signify the role of patient-related factors on the pain assessment process. Lastly, examination of method-related factors support the benefits of training staff to use nonverbal pain assessment tools, with those staff members who were trained having greater accuracy in pain assessment when compared to untrained raters. In closing, this dissertation has implications for nursing science, education, policy, and practice and serves as a valuable contribution to the current literature.
