Coping with type 2 diabetes in the family context: a communal coping perspective
No full textType 2 diabetes is a chronic condition affecting more than 25 million adults in the United States (National Institutes of Health, 2011). The impact of diabetes is far reaching, influencing the lives of both the patient and his or her family. Accordingly, both people with type 2 diabetes and their family members cope with the illness in the context of their relationships with one another. In this dissertation, I explore the coping efforts of individuals with type 2 diabetes and their families using communal coping as a framework for the investigation (Afifi et al., 2006; Lyons et al., 1998). The communal coping model argues that people cope with stress in the context of their relationships and that coping responses are both cognitive and behavioral in nature. According to the model, communal coping exists along two continuous dimensions: (a) appraisal, which assesses whether people's cognitions are individual or shared, and (b) action, which pertains to whether people engage in sole or joint behavior to diminish the negative effects of their stress. Theoretically, the dimensions of communal coping cross to create four distinct types of coping: individual coping, parallelism, support-seeking, and communal coping.
In this dissertation, I address two limitations of the communal coping model using two studies. First, the appraisal dimension of communal coping has not been explicated in extant research, so the in the first study, I interviewed 28 individuals with type 2 diabetes and their family members with a goal of conceptualizing what it means for people to appraise their stress as individual or shared. The results of the study revealed that appraisal consists of two elements: problem ownership and problem influence. Second, the typology proposed by communal coping theorists has not been systematically validated, so a second objective of this dissertation was to assess the typology quantitatively. The second study consisted of individuals with type 2 diabetes (N = 159) completing a survey assessing their family characteristics, their coping efforts, and their diabetes-related outcomes. Findings from the second study suggested that three distinct types of coping exist in these data, rather than the four proposed in the original communal coping typology. Results also indicated that generally, individuals fared better in terms of their self-care and their adherence when they coped alongside their family members. The conclusions from the two studies have theoretical implications for communal coping and practical implications for managing the type 2 diabetes.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2018-08-01The student, Erin Basinger, accepted the attached license on 2016-05-20 at 09:12.The student, Erin Basinger, submitted this Dissertation for approval on 2016-05-20 at 09:17.This Dissertation was approved for publication on 2016-05-23 at 10:48.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #9620 on 2016-11-10 at 12:24:17Made available in DSpace on 2016-11-10T18:39:02Z (GMT).

Primate dietary ecology in the context of food mechanical properties
No full textSubstantial variation exists in the mechanical properties of foods consumed by primate species. This variation is known to influence food selection and ingestion among non-human primates, yet no large-scale comparative study has examined the relationships between food mechanical properties and feeding strategies. Here we present comparative data on the Young’s modulus and fracture toughness of natural foods in the diets of 31 primate species. We use these data to examine the relationships between food mechanical properties and dietary quality, body mass, and feeding time. We also examine the relationship between food mechanical properties and categorical concepts of diet that are often used to infer food mechanical properties.
Traditional dietary categories, such as folivory and frugivory, did not faithfully track food mechanical properties. Additionally, our estimate of dietary quality was not significantly correlated with either toughness or Young’s modulus. We found a complex relationship among food mechanical properties, body mass, and feeding time, with a potential interaction between median toughness and body mass. The relationship between mean toughness and feeding time is straightforward: feeding time increases as toughness increases. However, when considering median toughness, the relationship with feeding time may depend upon body mass such that smaller primates increase their feeding time in response to an increase in median dietary toughness, whereas larger primates may even feed for shorter periods of time as toughness increases. Our results emphasize the need for additional studies quantifying the mechanical and chemical properties of primate diets so that they may be meaningfully compared to research on feeding behavior and jaw morphology.Peer reviewed
