Correlates of smoking behavior among older adolescents:
No full textThis study developed and tested theory to gain a better understanding of smoking behavior among older adolescents. This correlational study empirically tested theoretical relationships postulated between the dependent variable, smoking behavior and each of the independent variables of (a) depression, (b) social support and (c) smoking resistance self efficacy. This study also tested the relationship of smoking resistance self efficacy and (a) social support and (b) depression. In addition, this study examined two mediational models, which tested the role of smoking resistance self efficacy as a mediator in the relationship of (a) social support and smoking behavior, and (b) depression and smoking behavior.
A convenience sample of 364 college students 18-21 years of age was recruited from a large urban public college in the South Eastern region of New York State. Volunteers completed the study instrument which consisted of a demographic data sheet and three standardized instruments.
There were statistically significant negative relationships between smoking resistance self efficacy and (a) smoking behavior, and (b) depression. There was a statistically significant positive relationship between depression and smoking behavior. Additionally, smoking resistance self efficacy was a mediator of the relationship between depression and smoking behavior. The study did not provide evidence of a statistically significant relationship between (a) smoking behavior and social support and (b) smoking resistance self efficacy and social support. Smoking resistance self efficacy failed to act as a mediator of the relationship between social support and smoking behavior.
In summary, this study contributes to theory based nursing research in determining the role of SSE as (1) a mediator of the relationship between smoking behavior and depression, and (2) a strong correlate of smoking behavior. Through the explication of SSE as mediator of the relationship between depression and smoking behavior, this study invites further nursing research, specifically those employing interventions designed to enhance SSE. The findings of this study have implications for nursing interventions targeted to both current smokers and smoking initiation prevention. In addition, this research identifies a need for further theory-driven study of the relationship of depression and smoking behavior among adolescents.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical references (p. 105-115)by Susan Me
The Roots of Resilience: The Effects of Adverse Childhood Experiences and Resilience on Wellbeing
No full textAdverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are associated with multiple negative outcomes in young adulthood, including psychological distress, impediment of attaining normative developmental roles, and the presence of physical health risk factors. What is less understood is the relationship between ACEs and positive outcomes, such as wellbeing, and the processes by which it may be achieved following childhood maltreatment. Resilience has also been identified as an important and dynamic process, by which people can overcome early adversity. Accordingly, this research sought to explore the relationships between ACEs, resilience and wellbeing. The first study investigated the pervasiveness of ACEs and gender differences, using a newly revised measure of childhood adversity. The second study explored the effects of ACEs on five domains of wellbeing, and the possible mediation of this relationship by resilience resources. A self-selected sample (N = 1,266) aged between 18 and 35, who had grown up in New Zealand, completed an anonymous online survey consisting of the revised Adverse Childhood Experiences scale, which measured abuse and household dysfunction, along with newly added community level adversities. They also completed the Resilience Scale for Adults - a measure of six dynamic resilience resources; and the PERMA-Profiler - a new measure of Seligman’s (2011) five domains of wellbeing, which had not been used before to measures associations between wellbeing and early adversity. ACEs were prevalent, and the most common ACEs were peer isolation and rejection, a family member with a mental illness or who had attempted suicide, and peer victimisation, respectively. Support was found for the use of the expanded ACEs measure, with peer isolation and rejection, and peer victimisation both new additions to the ACE scale. Findings highlighted differences between the genders, with gender diverse people experiencing significantly higher rates of cumulative childhood trauma than females and males. ACEs were also associated with decreased wellbeing across all domains; and this relationship was mediated by resilience and its constituent elements. The resilience resources perception of self, perception of future, and social resources were shown as being particularly important to wellbeing, in those who had experienced childhood maltreatment. The findings implicated resilience as being an important part of the realisation of wellbeing following traumatic childhoods, and emphasised the importance of considering resilience as a multi-dimensional process. The benefits of early intervention from a social ecological approach to resilience are discussed

Etiology and outcome of penetrating keratoplasty in bullous keratopathy post-cataract surgery vs post-glaucoma surgery
No full textPurpose To investigate the causes of bullous keratopathy (BK) in the Korean population and analyze the results of penetrating keratoplasty (PK) in BK eyes associated with the top two causes: pseudophakic bullous keratopathy (PBK) and glaucoma surgery-associated BK (GBK). Methods Medical records were reviewed of patients diagnosed with BK at a tertiary referral center between 2010 and 2020. The predisposing conditions, clinical characteristics and therapeutic outcomes after PK were analyzed and compared. Results Of total 340 BK eyes, 70% (238 eyes) were associated with ocular surgery; most commonly, cataract surgery (48%, 162 eyes) and glaucoma surgery/laser (21%, 70 eyes). The BK onset was faster following glaucoma surgery/laser (91.7 ± 94.4 months) than following cataract surgery (160.7 ± 138.0 months, p < 0.001). The median survival time of allografts was shorter in GBK than in PBK (24.0 vs 51.0 months, p = 0.020). Best-corrected logMAR visual acuities were lower in GBK than in PBK after PK (1.4 ± 0.7 vs 0.9 ± 0.6, p = 0.017 at one year; 1.8 ± 0.7 vs 1.1 ± 0.8, p = 0.043 at three years). Conclusions Intraocular surgery is the major predisposing condition of BK in Korea. GBK developed earlier and its therapeutic outcome was poorer, compared to PBK. © 2023 Jung et al.

The Rape of the Author: How Charles Mee (re)defines authorship and its manifestation in his play Big Love
No full textThis English Senior Essay offers an introduction to the work of contemporary American playwright Charles Mee and his (re)making project. It examines his play Big Love, paying particular attention to the characters’ suggestion that rape is not necessarily a sexual violation, but the act of taking anything by force. The essay argues that Mee’s figurative rape of other author’s texts is necessary to free writing from copyright restrictions and to ultimately establish a free textual exchange among writers. Given that this rape analogy is not Mee’s own, the essay ultimately suggests that the playwright literalizes a long-standing literary theory to suggest that textual appropriation is a manifestation of writing, rather than an assault on its conventions
