▼ Within the field of health communication, narrative approaches are emerging as a promising set of tools for motivating and supporting health-behavior change. The transportation theory of narrative persuasion posits that absorption into a story may be a key mechanism of narrative impact. Transportation is thought to be a tripartite formulation (attention, imagery, feelings) of persuasive communication specifically focused on the experience of becoming immersed in a story and how this immersion can lead to real-world belief, attitude and behavior change. The way in which a narrative is delivered has not typically been the focus of study in regards to the transportation theory; nevertheless, having a notion of whether or not a particular combination of features is more transporting than another is of practical importance. The objective of this study was two-fold. The first objective was to compare first-person and third-person narratives manipulated by medium and topic to gain a better understanding about which message features influence emotional response, narrative processing, message perceptions and intentions to behave. The second objective was to test narrative impact in a real-world setting. A 2 (narrative voice: first-person voice or third-person voice) X 2 (medium: audio or print) X 2 (topic: health or occupational safety) factorial design was employed. In total, 232 male professional firefighters in Georgia from DeKalb County Fire and Rescue Department served as the study population. The experiment consisted of data collection prior to and after the participants read or listened to a narrative message. Overall, the narrative messages transported participants generating some support for hypothesis grounded in previous research. However, counter to expectations, differences between narratives in first-person voice compared to narrative messages in third-person voice were not found. Additionally, differences between audio and print narratives were not discovered. However, one anomalous finding appeared. That is, significant differences were found on several of the variables between the two topics. Knowing now that a topic can potentially interfere with narrative impact lends for a great deal of discussion for researchers and practitioners alike. Future research should continue to attend to these possibilities in considering narrative processing and message design. Advisors/Committee Members: Karen King.

▼ With attention to parenting, mothering, and fathering in the academy and attention to pediatric nutrition in the sciences, this study meets at their intersection. Using a critical approach to study narrative, this inquiry examines pediatric nutrition instruction birth through 12-months that is targeted to parents. The aim of this study is to examine how pediatric nutrition instruction construct master (dominant) and counter narratives that determine what constitutes good parenting. Critical narrative analysis reveals that the maternal role is foregrounded and positions mothers as responsible for pediatric nutrition decisions based on expert recommendations. The master narrative, moderate naturalism, limits good decision making to breastfeeding in the first 4-6 months. The focus on breastfeeding within moderate naturalism highlights the postfeminist-individualization of the maternal role to self-educate about nutrition, self- diagnose breastfeeding problems, and self-govern the body. The totalizing role of mother is evidenced in the social expectations related to education, health enhancement, risk aversion, and cultivating a healthy eater. The two counter narratives, synthetic acceptance and strict naturalism, are in dialogue with yet resist the master narrative. First, synthetic acceptance resists ???breast is best??? constraints on feeding by legitimizing formula feeding as acceptable but inferior. Mothers within synthetic acceptance enact totalizing motherhood through feeding education, control over the scene and feeding process/products, and formula-matching. Synthetic acceptance simultaneously seeks legitimization through maternal storytelling and delegitimizes itself through guilt discourse. Second, strict naturalism resists motivations for feeding choices and the characterization of the apolitical mother in moderate naturalism. Within strict naturalism the maternal role is politicized. Paradoxically, maternal feeding responsibilities reify traditional gender roles and promote domesticity, but they do so in a way that empowers women to enact environmental advocacy. Strict naturalism features mothers who are health literate, environmentally-active, equipped to make homemade organic baby food, and pursue environmental advocacy. By politicizing motherhood, counter narration has the potential to shift from post-feminist-individual frameworks within moderate naturalism to feminist-cooperative frameworks in counter narration. Practice-based recommendations are made to redress the totalizing implications of pediatric nutrition instruction on mothers, limitations on legitimate feeding choices, and neglect of paternal roles.

▼ These days, health is taken to be the product of the individual’s continuous interaction and interdependence with her/his ecosphere. Based on this belief, enabling people to increase control over and improve their health has been considerably given attention in health policies made nationally and internationally. One method to achieve this goal is a strategic health communication. This study is, therefore, primarily focused on the communication strategies employed by the Addis Ababa Health Bureau’s Urban Health Extension Program (UHEP) to bring behavioral change in the habits of hygiene and sanitation. Woreda 1 of Lideta Sub-city, in Addis Ababa, is deliberately chosen because it is one of the highly congested slums of the city where poor hygiene and sanitation is a severe problem. The major issues raised in this study are the communication strategies employed by the UHEP to change the community’s unhealthy hygiene and sanitation habits, and their effectiveness in building the audience’s self-efficacy and thereby developing healthy behaviors. Qualitative research method was basically used to deal with these issues, and an attempt to complement it with a quantitative one was made. Data were collected through semi-structured in-depth individual interviews, participant observation and a questionnaire filled out by the UHEP’s target audience. Albert Bandura’s Social Cognitive Theory (SCT), and especially his concept of Self- 2 efficacy, was used to analyze and discuss the data collected. The self-efficacy level of the targets was also measured by using Shwarzer and Jerusalem’s Generalized Self-Efficacy scale (GSE). As a result of the analysis, the study indicated that the major communication strategies of the UHEP are interpersonal channels assisted by demonstrations. Though mass media channels were also taken as part of the strategy, priority was given to printed materials like brochures. These materials were also found to be with very poor quality to appropriately transcend the messages they contained. Regarding their effectiveness, the communication strategies were found to be ineffective in building their target audience’s self-efficacy and thereby in achieving the intended change in behavior. This is attributed to the contents and the approach of the communication strategies. The majority of the UHEP’s models were found to have very low level of self-efficacy because the contents were informative in nature that they cannot build self-efficacy, and the approach was in a classroom lecture format. The study recommends exploitation of other channels like peer-to-peer and traditional communication channels, adequate budget allocation for mass media, and modification of contents in a way they would increase self-efficacy in order to make the program effective in the hygiene and sanitation package.

▼ This dissertation examines health care provider-receiver intercultural interaction processes and measures health care receivers’ experience of health care providers’ cultural competence. To this end, cultural competence has been conceptualized as a dynamic and complex process of being aware of and recognizing individual differences and differences across cultures. Communication accommodation theory, which assumes that communicators adapt their communicative acts to a given context, was used as a theoretical framework. Appalachian Ohio, a medically underserved region, was chosen as a context. The research was carried out in three sequential phases. First, scenarios demonstrating cultural difference or sameness between patient and physician and physicians’ cultural competence or incompetence in health care interactions were developed and pre-tested employing 175 undergraduate students. In the second phase, validated scenarios were used along with a survey questionnaire of 201 members of the public from Athens and Columbus, Ohio to measure public perception of cultural competence in health care interactions, which resulted in the development of a three-factor scale, the PPPCC. In the third phase, the PPPCC scale along with measures of ethnocentrism, fear of physicians, and health professionals’ CAT goals and strategies was refined using 306 health care receivers from the patient base at Holzer Clinic in Athens, Jackson, and Gallipolis to develop a patient satisfaction instrument to measure physicians’ cultural competence. A five-factor scale emerged, the PCCPS. This research found important connections among Appalachian patients’ perceptions of physicians’ cultural competence in health care and patients’ ethnocentric views, fear of physicians, and perceptions of physicians’ use of communication accommodation strategies of divergence and convergence. The findings indicate that research on cultural competence in health care should adopt a holistic definition of cultural competence. The findings also indicate that cultural competence in health care is one strategy for providing quality and effective care in intercultural, cross-cultural, and multicultural contexts. This dissertation research offers important directions to the design of cultural competence interventions for health care delivery and outcome. Further research should study unique cultural settings to expand cultural competence beyond cultural markers of race and ethnicity to include other social justice efforts.

▼ Executive Summary Leading advisory agencies have long advocated that health care must be safe and effective (Institute of Medicine [IOM], 2001). In order for health care to be safe and effective, good communication and collaboration are essential. Research has found that in health care, poor communication and teamwork failures are the major contributors to adverse events (Cornell, Townsend-Gervis, Vardaman, & Yates, 2014; The Joint Commission, 2011; O’Leary, 2012). Such communication-related adverse events can cause avoidable injury, loss of life, and financial devastation. In light of advanced practice nurses’ (APN) increasing contribution in care management, and in order to ensure delivery of high-quality patient care, hospital administrators and nurse executives in particular, must foster improved communication and collaboration between APNs and RNs. The potential benefits of improving APN–RN teamwork are multiple. For example, Naylor et al. (2013) have reported that, in their study, nurse-led interdisciplinary interventions resulted in quality improvement and cost savings. One solution for improving communication within the health care team pertains to bedside rounding. Daily bedside rounding presents an opportunity for care team members to cooperatively develop and communicate care strategies. Staff nurses are typically not included in physician led patient rounds. This exclusion is unfortunate because, during rounds, nurses could provide essential nursing expertise and knowledge about patients’ health status; furthermore, nurses are uniquely positioned to encourage patients’ proactive participation in their own health care team. The primary objective of the DNP project described in this doctoral project paper was to develop a structured learning module to improve collaboration and communication between APNs and RNs through the implementation of APN–RN patient bedside rounding. To establish a basis for creating the learning module, the DNP project began with an in-depth literature review of research on (a) APN–clinical nurse communication and collaboration and (b) the contributions of APNs and clinical nurses to the quality of patient care. Evidence-based best practice recommendations guided the development of the learning module to instruct APN and clinical nursing staff on proper communication and collaboration in conjunction with the use of a daily goals sheet to facilitate structured APN–RN–patient beside rounding. (For example, the use of bedside rounding with daily goal reminder sheets has demonstrated improved communication in patient-centered care.) King goal attainment theory provided the underpinning for this project with Knowles’ conceptual framework of andragogy provided a methodology, framework, and mechanism that informed the learning module’s design. After an initial draft of the module was completed, it was sent to three of the hospital’s APNs for their review; all of these APNs had had prior experience with APN–RN rounding at other hospitals. Following the APN’s… Advisors/Committee Members: Lori Candella, Susan VanBeuge, Richard Tandy.

▼ After the initial outbreak, gay men followed by African Americans have been disproportionately affected by HIV/AIDS. According to the Centers of Disease Control (CDC) in 2005, African Americans made up roughly 13% of the U.S. population; however, Blacks accounted for almost 50% of all new reported cases of HIV/AIDS. The purpose of this study was to examine various social and psychological variables relating to HIV/AIDS prevention among African-American college students. The study also examined pertinent factors that were related to and predictive of sustained condom use within the defined study population. Lastly, the study examined any relative vulnerabilities to HIV/AIDS among African American male and female college students. By examining the social and psychological variables and the factors associated with sustained condom use among African American college students, academics and practitioners would be able to develop better communicative strategies to decrease the spread of HIV/AIDS. One hundred thirty African American college students participated in the study. The study found that the participants had moderately high to high levels of behavioral involvement/information seeking behaviors in terms of HIV/AIDS. The students also had very high levels of knowledge about HIV/AIDS and they showed positive attitudes toward the disease and toward people who were HIV/AIDS positive. The study also showed that there was a positive relationship between knowledge of HIV/AIDS infection through non-sexual contact and attitudes related to blaming someone for being HIV/AIDS positive. In the sample, the study indicated that higher levels of HIV/AIDS cognitive involvement were associated with more information seeking behaviors. In terms of safe sex practices, the study concluded that knowledge of HIV/AIDS sexual contact was an important predictor of safe sex behaviors among the sampled students. Lastly, outcome expectancy of convenience and positive feelings of condom use were both strong predictors of condom use among the respondents. The results show that it is important for scholars and practitioners to continue to design mass media campaigns that improve knowledge levels and continue to reinforce positive attitudes about HIV/AIDS among African American students. It is critical for mass media messages to emphasize the importance of using condoms during sex because the results of the study showed positive feelings about condom usage resulting in higher rates of condom use.

▼ Public health policies profoundly shape individuals' embodied sense of self as well as the organization of resources by discursively constructing identities, knowledge, power and risk. For health and organizational communication scholars, understanding how policy discourses are developed, legitimized, and implemented are salient concerns. I engage these issues through a case study of the Deerfield Local School District's School Health Advisory Committee (SHAC). Formed in response to federal policy mandates, the SHAC's mission is to improve the district’s health environment. Specifically, I investigated how the committee communicatively organized resources for health amidst local exigencies and material conditions. I employed interpretive research strategies including participant-observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis to collect discourse from SHAC members and stakeholders. Additionally, I gathered insights from students served by the Deerfield SHAC using participatory sketching. I analyzed the data using poststructural feminist and narrative theories. My interpretation of the discourses centered around five themes: participants' definitions of health, the paradoxes of committee membership, members' narrative sense-making of resistance and power, the absence of particular stakeholders' voices in SHAC narratives, and narrative challenges for sustainable organizing. My analysis of the SHAC's discourse highlighted how members legitimized the committee’s organizing practices by framing parents from a deficit-oriented perspective, and shifting attention away from social determinants of health. I describe how assumptions about stakeholders’ values and health literacy were further invoked in narratives that naturalized the exclusion of specific voices, such as parents and children, from the SHAC. Then, I narrate the tensions between symbolic-material concerns that emerged from SHAC meetings and conversations with members about the committee's practices. Finally, I outline practical implications for the SHAC and describe the study's limitations and areas for future research. Advisors/Committee Members: Bute, Jennifer (Advisor).

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI)

The city of Austin is a small community in Southern Indiana that experienced a large HIV/AIDS outbreak which infected over 180 people. Due to rapid spread of the disease from shared needles during intravenous drug use, a public health emergency was declared in March 2015. This epidemic was a symptom of the overall communal health issues within the area related to drugs, crime, prostitution and poverty. These problems affect residents’ physical and mental health, however, often go unaddressed due to limited resources, healthcare and education. Organizations within the area were affected by the epidemic, and many provided a response to help combat the issue. The purpose of this study is to examine how organizations respond to a health crisis from a communication perspective. Research question one is, what was the level of coordination between the seven organizations during the HIV/AIDS epidemic? Research question two is, what was the public’s response to the effort made by the seven organizations? This study interviewed seven participants and a thematic analysis was conducted that discovered four themes: coordinated response, uncoordinated activities, response time, and inadequate response. In response to research question one, the levels of coordination were infrequent with the seven agencies. Research question two found multiple areas that indicated the agencies approach ineffective in adequately informing the public. The agencies’ efforts displayed a lack of coordination and poor timely response to the crisis. These issues show it is imperative that we develop a resilient health system to operate systemically. By implementing communication for whole health, it would provide a resilient system for agencies to understand and develop coordination and collaboration between each other. With a sense of coordination, they would then be able to execute ways of promoting and living out better physical and mental health (Parrish-Sprowl and Parrish-Sprowl, 2016).

▼ Health communication campaigns have been used to promote healthy behavior change in a variety of health domains around the world. One element of formative research to develop these campaigns is selecting the topic or topics to be addressed in the campaign, called themes, or groups of beliefs. Extant approaches to theme selection consider each theme individually, and do not consider the relationship among themes, nor the influence of spreading activation processes, in which exposure to messages about one theme may have effects that spill over to related, but non-targeted themes. This dissertation seeks to contribute to understanding of these issues in the context of anti-tobacco cigarette smoking behavior among U.S. young adults aged 18 to 25 years who have smoked less than 100 cigarettes in their lifetimes. Study 1 is a secondary analysis of existing survey data, demonstrating that themes can be promising yet can vary with regard to their inter-correlation. Studies 2 and 3 validated messages using an online survey experiment to ensure that message exposure led to increased targeted theme endorsement. Results from Study 3 suggest broader spreading activation processes, such that those exposed to anti-smoking and pro-recycling messages demonstrated stronger theme endorsement, even for non-targeted themes. Study 4 compared the effects of exposure to one promising theme, two promising themes, and two highly correlated and two uncorrelated themes. Among those who passed the attention check, intention not to use tobacco cigarettes was stronger among those exposed to any message, including those about recycling, relative to those in the no message control group. Targeted theme endorsement was higher when participants were exposed to messages targeting a particular theme, regardless of whether they saw messages about one theme or two. Results support broader spreading activation processes, such that those exposed to any anti-smoking message reported stronger support across all anti-smoking themes. Evidence from these studies suggests that effects may be similar when focusing on one theme or dividing exposures among two promising themes, regardless of their correlation with one another. Campaign planners should consider that exposure to persuasive campaign messaging may have broader effects beyond message-targeted themes.

▼ For many years, mass media health campaigns have strived to change population health-related attitudes and intentions. While it is important to assess the direct effects of exposure to health campaign messages on these campaign outcomes, it is equally valuable to examine whether messages can be further propagated into the public communication environment. When people decide to replicate (replication) the core arguments used in campaign messages as they diffuse them to additional campaign targets, this enhances the reach of a campaign. Moreover, when people extend (extension) the core arguments of campaign messages by diffusing arguments in the same category as the campaign theme but those not specifically targeted in campaign messages, this increases the diversity of campaign-relevant communication. This dissertation aimed to examine how exposure to anti-smoking campaign messages influences patterns of replication and extension with four experimental studies. The first two studies examined whether message exposure can lead to replication and extension. Then, guided by construal level theory, the latter two studies examined whether different message characteristics and mindsets can increase or decrease patterns of extension. Study 1 found that exposure to why appeal messages (messages about reasons to quit smoking) and how appeal messages (messages about methods to quit smoking) influenced people to choose arguments that were targeted by the messages they were exposed to, to send to smokers. Study 2 focused on whether exposure to these messages influenced the selection of arguments that were consistent with the appeals (why and how), but were not targeted by the messages participants were exposed to, and found partial support. Study 3 found that exposure to why appeal messages with proximal temporal frames could hinder the selection of non-targeted why arguments. However, no support was found for the hypothesis that inducing different construal mindsets could increase or decrease the selection of non-targeted arguments (Study 4). The studies provided empirical tests of replication and extension—both outcomes that are important for advancing campaign effects. They also delved into the research question of whether certain message characteristics can promote or undermine the pattern of extension. Study results can inform campaign developers about which message strategies could be successful in further propagating campaign-relevant information into the public communication environment.

▼ Medical checkups help to stress the importance of a healthy lifestyle and promote appropriate screening and prevention strategies. In this context, it’s important to provide people with information on the value and benefit of this and for those whose early detection of health problems found with the accurate information based on the latest evidence. This is possible with employing communication strategies that encourage medical checkups, promote good health and primordial of diseases. This research set out to evaluate the Communication Strategies used by the Kitwe District Community Medical Office to encourage medical checkups. It was conducted in Kitwe and the researcher was attached at the Kitwe District Community Medical Office. Using the qualitative and quantitative methods of data collection and analysis, findings indicate that the strategies that the Kitwe District Community Medical office uses to promote health in the district include; Information Education Communication materials such as posters and pamphlets. The main sources of information on medical checkups are medical personnel who are deemed to be knowledgeable on health issues. The findings also revealed that the main channel used to encourage medical checkups was found to be television utilized by Ministry of Health on the programme “Your Health Matters’’. Radio Chengelo is also used to disseminate information on various health topics in collaboration with other organisations who are health focused and require expertise that the personnel from the Kitwe District Community Medical Office. The majority of the population have knowledge on medical checkups but the behavioural aspect shows very low attendance of checkups. Most of the people in Kitwe go for medical checkups when unwell and when the condition has reached an advanced stage resulting in unbearable pain. They don’t seem to prioritize regular checkups as a practice that will promote good health. It is, therefore, recommended that the Kitwe District Community Medical Office takes up the role of encouraging medical checkups by coming up with extra strategies that are specifically targeted at encouraging medical checkups with emphasis and concentration on the non communicable diseases in unison, that account for the problems identified with the lack of checkups. Further, messages on medical checkups should be spread to billboards, posters and booklets to reach a wider population and to also have separate centres for checkups.

▼ This study is an examination of Javanese women’s lived experience with Type 2 diabetes, an exploration of the ways these women maintain interactions with family members and society and how they adapt diabetes management to Javanese cultural beliefs and traditions. Through participant’s narratives, this study provides a new conceptual understanding of diabetes and how submission to culture becomes an opportunity for these women to re-construct their identities and manage their disease and their obligations. This study includes data collected through in-depth interviews and observations, which were analyzed using narrative analysis. A total of 60 Javanese women with Type 2 diabetes participated in this study. These women are from middle class and poor socio-economic groups, and reside in urban and rural areas of Central Java, Indonesia. Through the interviews, the influence of cultural beliefs related to Javanese women’s health beliefs, and their roles in maintaining harmonious social interactions and obligations are examined, along with issues of self-image and identity formation. Narrative analysis was conducted to analyze individuals’ stories and the socio-cultural meanings embedded in the stories. Further, in the analysis, women’s narratives are used to capture shared socio-cultural values that shape Javanese women’s identities and their understandings about diabetes. The analysis reveals that harmony and balance are main themes in women’s stories of their lived experiences with Type 2 diabetes. Principles of balance and harmony emphasize individuals’ abilities to manage disruptions in their lives using specific cultural resources, and attaining balance and harmony, participants say - is required for even constitutive of good health. The author concludes that the prominence of balance and harmony in the narratives indicates that these two obligations substantially affect Javanese people’s worldview, providing a fundamental structure for understanding conceptual thinking about disease, health, cures, and ways of managing Type 2 diabetes. More specifically, diabetes challenges harmony and balance on three different levels: the personal level, the familial level, and the social level. Within these levels, participants emphasize the importance of achieving “fit” through submission to Javanese cultural values, especially tepa selira (empathy).

▼ Massage therapy is often used to treat musculoskeletal symptoms and to promote wellness. While evidence regarding its effectiveness is increasing, research related to actual practice and studies seeking to understand the mechanisms of massage therapy are needed. The purpose of this research was to describe the characteristics of massage therapists and their clients and to understand the role of communication in massage therapy outcomes. The first study examined the outcome expectations, expectancies, and behaviors of a random sample of massage therapists in Iowa (n=151) using a cross-sectional survey. The second study used a practice-based research design incorporating two samples of massage therapy clients (n=320 and n=321) to develop and validate a measure of client expectations of massage, the Client Expectations of Massage Scale (CEMS). The third study examined the influence of client expectations and massage therapists' interpersonal attractiveness on pain and satisfaction following massage. Social Cognitive Theory and Expectancy Violation Theory were used as frameworks to demonstrate how health behavior and communication theories can provide insight to massage therapy research. Results indicated that massage therapists had high expectations regarding the benefits of massage therapy and engaged in a variety of behaviors that reflect the clinical, educational, and interpersonal nature of massage therapy. In addition to using a variety of manual therapies, the massage therapists educated their clients in areas such as diet, stress management, and exercise to improve client health. Similarly, clients had positive expectations as measured by the outcome, clinical, educational, and interpersonal subscales of the CEMS. Positive outcome expectations predicted significant improvements in pain and serenity. High interpersonal expectations were related to negative changes in serenity. The third study revealed that high satisfaction was influenced by positive interpersonal attractiveness but more research is needed to understand the influence of client expectations being met on satisfaction. Initially high educational expectations, exceeded educational expectations, violated interpersonal expectations, and positive interpersonal attractiveness were related to less pain following massage. In conclusion, this research demonstrated that client expectations and massage therapist interpersonal attractiveness are important constructs to consider when evaluating the effects of massage therapy.

▼ With attention to parenting, mothering, and fathering in the academy and attention to pediatric nutrition in the sciences, this study meets at their intersection. Using a critical approach to study narrative, this inquiry examines pediatric nutrition instruction birth through 12-months that is targeted to parents. The aim of this study is to examine how pediatric nutrition instruction construct master (dominant) and counter narratives that determine what constitutes good parenting. Critical narrative analysis reveals that the maternal role is foregrounded and positions mothers as responsible for pediatric nutrition decisions based on expert recommendations. The master narrative, moderate naturalism, limits good decision making to breastfeeding in the first 4-6 months. The focus on breastfeeding within moderate naturalism highlights the postfeminist-individualization of the maternal role to self-educate about nutrition, self- diagnose breastfeeding problems, and self-govern the body. The totalizing role of mother is evidenced in the social expectations related to education, health enhancement, risk aversion, and cultivating a healthy eater. The two counter narratives, synthetic acceptance and strict naturalism, are in dialogue with yet resist the master narrative. First, synthetic acceptance resists ?breast is best? constraints on feeding by legitimizing formula feeding as acceptable but inferior. Mothers within synthetic acceptance enact totalizing motherhood through feeding education, control over the scene and feeding process/products, and formula-matching. Synthetic acceptance simultaneously seeks legitimization through maternal storytelling and delegitimizes itself through guilt discourse. Second, strict naturalism resists motivations for feeding choices and the characterization of the apolitical mother in moderate naturalism. Within strict naturalism the maternal role is politicized. Paradoxically, maternal feeding responsibilities reify traditional gender roles and promote domesticity, but they do so in a way that empowers women to enact environmental advocacy. Strict naturalism features mothers who are health literate, environmentally-active, equipped to make homemade organic baby food, and pursue environmental advocacy. By politicizing motherhood, counter narration has the potential to shift from post-feminist-individual frameworks within moderate naturalism to feminist-cooperative frameworks in counter narration. Practice-based recommendations are made to redress the totalizing implications of pediatric nutrition instruction on mothers, limitations on legitimate feeding choices, and neglect of paternal roles.

▼ In the U. S. approximately 795,000 people experience a new or recurrent stroke yearly. Stroke survival has increased with advances in medical technology. The impact of stroke on a patient’s neurological status poses critical challenges for nurses. Communication is one area impacted by stroke. Strokes affecting the brain’s right hemisphere (RHS) have been described in the literature as negatively impacting communication behaviors of patients, often in a subtle manner. The purpose of this exploratory descriptive study was to examine the knowledge that RNs in North Carolina possess about communication impairments associated with RHS and how these nurses anticipate using knowledge gained about these impairments in the care of these patients. The study also explored perceived barriers and facilitators to participating in continuing education about RHS associated communication impairments. The RHS Communication Impairment Knowledge Assessment tool assessed demographic variables, knowledge of RHS associated communication impairments, perceived barriers and facilitators to participating in continuing education about communication clusters associated with RHS, as well as how nurses anticipate using education about these impairments in caring for patients following RHS. The study setting was North Carolina. A purposive sample of North Carolina RNs was contacted through email; and a sample size of 2495 was recruited. The study was guided conceptually by Ajzen’s theory of planned behavior. Results indicated that a large percentage (78.2%) had received education about RHS associated communication impairments in their undergraduate nursing programs. The mean score on the 12-item knowledge assessment was 6.15 with less than 50% answering 3 specific application of knowledge questions correctly. The KR-20 for these 12 items was 0.532 which is an acceptable KR-20 for short tests (10–15 items). Cost of continuing education courses (23.5%), work responsibilities (32.9%), and family responsibilities (23.7%) were infrequently reported as barriers to participating in continuing education about these communication impairments while identified education need (87.1%), interest in learning (72.2%), providing better patient care (89.3%), improved decision making (87%), and increased competency (71.4%) were all frequently reported as facilitators to participating in RHS communication cluster continuing education. Three themes emerged regarding how RNs would use knowledge gained to change their patient care. These themes were: awareness of the need for education, improved nursing management of patients, including patient teaching and critical thinking, and better communication with survivors of RHS. The research contributed to the current body of nursing science by identifying knowledge gaps of NC RNs on RHS associated communication impairments, barriers and facilitators to participation in RHS continuing education, and intended changes in care based on continuing education.
