Learning How to Talk
No full textLearning How To Talk is a book of poems meant to offer the reader a discovery of love and cultural difference. This discovery is made from a millennial, Cambodian American standpoint. Through scenes involving such themes as food, race, and teaching, these poems illustrate events influenced by the perspective of a family that has been through trauma. We learn by listening. We learn by teaching. We learn by speaking. We learn to talk by thinking. The poems land in a place where the speaker learns how to talk in a world that is filled with noise.LiteratureCreative writingchhoeun, food, khmer, poetryLiteratureDegree Awarded: M.F.A. Literature.

The Lived Experience of Parents with a Child Undergoing Laser Therapy for a Port-Wine Stain
No full textThe Lived Experience of Parents With a Child Undergoing Laser Therapy for a Port-Wine Stain Port-wine stains, a capillary malformation, affect 0.3% to 0.5% of the population. They frequently present in the V1 and V2 dermatomes (Brightman et al., 2015). Parents face challenges obtaining an evaluation and treatment for their child due to the limited number of qualified medical providers (Rozell-Shannon, 2009) and the lack of professional treatment guidelines. Parents must also bond with a baby having a visible disfiguring lesion. This study utilized an embedded mixed-methods design to explore the lived experience of parents with a child undergoing laser therapy for a port-wine stain. The qualitative portion included a phenomenological approach and the quantitative portion utilized the Family Management Measure (FaMM) to assess the family management of the child’s treatment. Twenty participants were recruited from five countries and 11 states within the United States. Four major themes emerged from the phenomenological study: (a) something’s wrong (b) reactions (c) treatment (d) long-term consequences. The quantitative instrument, the FaMM, revealed three parents whose scores on the six scales consistently revealed anxiety related to their child’s condition, difficulty managing their child’s daily life, and difficulty managing treatment in conjunction with their partner. This study revealed that parents of infants born with a port-wine stain had an extended period of anxiety due to the initial diagnosis and the complexity of securing proper treatment from a qualified physician.NursingHealth care managementMedicineEmbedded mixed methods, Family Management, Nursing, Port-Wine StainNursingDegree Awarded: Ph.D. Nursing.
