Anybody Got Siblings? Investigating the Effects of Birth Order on Vicarious Embarrassment
No full textWard-Belmont, College Catalogues, and Women\u27s Place in Early Twentieth Century American Society
No full textFor my research project, I hope to explore the following questions: How do the public-facing Ward-Belmont texts advertise the school to parents from 1915 and 1945? How did these texts define the Ward-Belmont girls of these eras and what does this say about society’s shifting view of women? In my fifteen-page seminar paper, I will make the argument that the public-facing Ward-Belmont texts defined the Ward-Belmont girls of 1915 and 1945 according to the avenues available to women at the time and the futures parents wanted for their daughters. This research project engages in feminist historiographic reanalysis to illuminate the evolving place of women in early twentieth century American society. My method will involve heavy use of the Belmont archives, both in-person and online, taking thorough notes for later review. My methodology will be inspired by the works of: Glenn and Enoch, Brooker et al., Derrida, Steedman, L’Eplattenier, Taylor, and Hartman. My positionality is that of a feminist in academia who is highly interested in this topic. Through my research project, I hope to increase the field’s perception of the ways that historical women’s societal position and parents’ image of women’s higher education influenced each other between 1915 and 1945
Grounded Theory of Spiritual Factors of Stress of the Military to Civilian Transition
Get PDFThe transition from active duty military member to civilian is fraught with multi-faceted stress. Spirituality has been shown to provide benefit to the management of stress in many healing professions across domains, but is seldom considered a component of the military transition process. The purpose of this grounded theory inquiry was to develop a grounded theory of how spirituality is viewed as a factor in the perceived stress of United States active-duty military members during the process of transitioning to civilian life, to build understanding of how spirituality could be used to lower stress throughout the process. Data was collected from semi-structure interviews of fifteen transition/transitioning service members, and was then analyzed using constant comparison to identify applicable codes, themes, and concepts. The resulting grounded theory is that spirituality is viewed by U.S. active duty military members as a beneficial factor on stress during (and following) the transition process. Implications of this study include the likely benefit of further research on what aspects of spirituality help this population, potential benefit in creating a spirituality-exploring protocol, and the potential benefit of implementing logotherapy into military transition programs
Stress dynamics between clinical supervisors and allied health students: a scoping review protocol
Get PDFIntroduction: The aim of this scoping review is to connect theoretical research related to stress with practical applications to supervision experiences within allied health professions. Understanding the implications of stress between clinical supervisors and allied health students will allow for better insights to improve supervisory methods within clinical training, stronger mentorship and lead to better quality patient care.
Methods and analysis: This review is conducted according to Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) methodology for scoping reviews, which includes defining the research question, developing inclusion criteria and searching for, selecting, extracting and analysing the evidence. A literature search will be conducted in MEDLINE (PubMed), CINAHL (EBSCO), ERIC (EBSCO), PsycINFO (EBSCO) and Embase (Elsevier), as well as various grey literature resources. Studies will be included if they focus on undergraduate or graduate allied health students in a clinical setting and allied health clinical educators, and report on outcomes related to stress dynamics between these two populations. Results will pass through title/ abstract and full-text screening before data are extracted using a tool developed by the reviewers. Data will be analysed and summarised descriptively and presented in both tabular and narrative formats.
Ethics and dissemination: Ethical approval is not required for this scoping review. Results will be disseminated in peer-reviewed publications and professional conferences.
Trial registration number: The protocol was registered with Open Science Framework on 2 October 2024 (https:// doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/REK7Z
Contemporary Normative Values for Five Common Static Standing Tasks on Firm and Compliant Floor Surfaces in Children Two to Thirteen Years
Get PDFBackground/Objectives: Static upright tasks, including standing unsupported (SU), eyes closed (SEC), feet together (SFT), tandem (TS), and single limb (SLS), are routinely examined in children and are included in many norm-referenced measures. Existing normative values for these standing tasks may not apply to contemporary children and have not been established across wide age ranges. The primary purpose of this study was to investigate developmental trajectories of and relationships between four static standing positions (SPs [SU, SFT, TS, SLS]) in children aged 2 through 13 years who are developing typically. The effects of altered sensory input, including floor surface (firm and compliant) and vision (eyes open [SU] and eyes closed [SEC]), as well as influences of sex, height, weight, and BMI on static standing were also examined. Methods: Children (n = 807) developing typically performed two trials of each task up to 2 minutes per trial using standardized procedures. A total of 482 children were also tested on a compliant surface. Results: Descriptive statistics were calculated by age, height, weight, task, and floor surface. Two-way ANOVA showed no significant effects (p \u3e 0.05) of sex on standing times; however, age was significant for all standing tasks. Repeated-measure ANOVA and Tukey post hoc tests identified significant effects (p \u3c 0.05) of age and floor surface on standing times. SU, SEC, and SFT times increased up to 8 years, with most children achieving the 2 minute maximum by age 8. TS and SLS times improved up through 13 years, with wide variations in performance noted in children 8 years and older. Conclusions: Contemporary normative performance values are provided for five common standing tasks on firm and compliant surfaces by age in one-year increments

Empowered Pregnancy: An Occupational Therapy Informed Curriculum for Prenatal Sleep, Energy, and Comfort at Nurture Nashville Yoga
No full textThis capstone project was completed in partnership with Nurture Nashville Yoga. The goals included identifying the needs of current and potential prenatal participants. That data was used to develop an individualized, occupational therapy-informed curriculum tailored to this population. An occupational profile-based interview was conducted to gather marketing insights and enhance the agency’s understanding of what participants want and need to support engagement in meaningful occupations—including attending classes at Nurture Nashville Yoga. The interview process revealed common themes related to barriers, facilitators, goals, and requested topics for future workshops. Based on these findings, a curriculum was developed and presented at Nurture Nashville Yoga. As an additional deliverable, a series of short, recorded videos were created to support and expand upon key topics from the curriculum. Digital access to the full curriculum and videos was provided for future use in the organization’s resource library
Critical Time Intervention for People Experiencing Homelessness at Room in The Inn
Get PDFRoom In The Inn is a 501(c)(3) not for profit organization serving people experiencing homelessness in Nashville, Tennessee. Their services include a day center where participants have access to essential needs, classes through Hope University, the lunch program, transitional and permanent housing, the winter shelter program, and guest house and recuperative care beds. The purpose of this capstone experience was to collaborate with Room In The Inn staff and participants to increase efficiency from intake into the guest house to housing readiness. Room In The Inn’s services were presented in a flow chart and prioritized based on participants’ levels of vulnerability and the sequence in which tasks needed to be completed. A timeline was added to the chart to incorporate the concept of Critical Time Intervention. This concept holds that intervention completed within a deadline is more effective than intervention left open ended. Time was allotted to three tiers and extra time given to more vulnerable categories. A spreadsheet was developed to track participants’ progression toward housing readiness, using formulas to color-code how closely they adhered to the predetermined timeline. Checklists coincide with the flowchart to keep the support coordinators organized and ensure sustainability and re-use. In addition to this project, life skills groups covering topics that align with the needs of the population were held twice weekly to add to Hope University’s diverse curriculum
