Creating upstream change in mental health through Photovoice
No full textPeople with serious mental illness die an average of 25 years younger than the general population (Flanagan, et al., 2016). Social exclusion and stigma have been identified as being at the core of health disparities and barriers to meaningful community involvement for people with serious mental illness (Reid & Alonso, 2018). To address the complex and detrimental effects of stigma and social exclusion, Imagining Inclusion used Community Based Participatory Research methodology, Photovoice, to explore experiences of community inclusion, health and well-being for individuals with serious mental illness and will use the findings to foster organizational and societal change. With Photovoice research, participants take photos about their lived experience and speak about how they relate to themselves, community and society (Reid & Alonso, 2018). In Imagining Inclusion Phase 3 we will examine the characteristics and outcomes of the Photovoice process, and the role of peers and therapeutic recreation in helping to create stigma resistance at the personal, peer, and public levels. We will develop an evidence-based toolkit that can be used to adopt and sustain the key elements of the Photovoice process across allied health and therapeutic recreation services for people with serious mental illness.Not peer reviewedStudent Research Day Poster (2019

Outside Our Wheelhouse: Reflections from Technical Librarians Serving as Interim Public Services Managers
No full textLibraries often utilize interim leaders to fill essential vacancies. Most literature on interim leadership focuses on the top library administrator position and relatively few articles address the experiences of interim middle managers or discuss the value of librarians leading departments outside their areas of expertise. In this article, Author 1 and Author 2, a systems librarian and a special collections and archives technical services librarian respectively, discuss how they leveraged their technical knowledge and soft skills while leading departments that were not within their fields of expertise. They explain how serving outside their wheelhouses benefitted the organization and enriched their job satisfaction

Guided imagery for acute pain after cardiac surgery
No full textAcute pain after cardiac surgery can progress to persistent pain if not managed effectively, which can negatively affect full recovery. This study examined the effectiveness of a nonpharmacological therapy, guided imagery, in reducing acute pain among postoperative open-heart patients in the cardiothoracic intensive care unit. The study also examined the effect of the guided imagery in anxiety, sleep, and vital signs of the participants. A quasi-experimental design was employed in this study. The participants (n= 24) from a regional hospital in New Jersey who had open heart surgery were recruited from January to July 2018. By using convenience sampling, they were assigned to interventional (n= 15) and control (n= 9) group. The interventional group received the guided imagery therapy in addition to the usual pain management in the unit, while the control group received the usual pain management only. Their pain and anxiety levels were obtained using the Numeric Rating Scale and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory questionnaires. The interventional group were also monitored for their vital signs and quality of sleep after receiving the therapy. The key findings include the significant decrease in pain and anxiety levels after the guided imagery therapy was offered on days 1, 2, 3, day of discharge, and one week after discharge (p 0.05). Patients reported that they used the guided imagery for pain, anxiety, and sleep. Based on the findings, guided imagery could be incorporated into the clinical practice in cardiothoracic intensive care unit to manage acute pain among open-heart surgical patients.DNPIncludes bibliographical reference
Victims in the Village: Aspects of Restorative Justice on Papua New Guinea
No full text In the villages of Vanimo West Coast, Papua New Guinea, restorative justice processes continue to adhere to traditional practices and beliefs. To a great extent the modern concept of restorative justice or community justice is grounded in the practices of traditional societies such as those of the Maori in New Zealand. One question which arises through the modernisation process is how modernisation has impacted traditional restorative practices and in particular how the criminal justice system is perceived and used by indigenous peoples. Through an exploration of research undertaken by the author in Vanimo West Coast villages the kinds of acts considered injurious are identified, as are traditional restorative justice processes and modern attitudes and practices by victims seeking justice. The research illustrates that villages have maintained a private/public distinction in their disputes, keeping disputes between close kin private and publicising others. Whereas traditionally, disputes made public would be taken to the Chief, nowadays in some cases, the courts and the community government council are the chosen forums for publication. Sometimes a victim seeks only to shame the offender by making the dispute public, this being an end in itself. Overall, the research makes explicit the capacity of victims for adaptation and the continued resilience of custom in resolving grievances. </jats:p
The Read Aloud Revolution: An Examination of the Read Aloud Practice and the Roles Fathers Play
No full textabstract: Reading aloud is an experience that provides children with cognitive and social emotional
benefits. Fathers are often not a part of this experience due to outdated gender roles that have led
to the classification of reading as a feminized activity. This review discusses the literature
surrounding the cognitive and social-emotional benefits of reading aloud to children. In addition
to academic literature, this paper takes into account the experiences of educators and parents
shared through social media and literacy organizations external to academia due to their presence
on the front lines of the reading aloud. This paper is divided into five sections, each of which
addresses a different domain of the read aloud practice. The first section is a personal narrative in
which the author shares a story surrounding her experience with read alouds to provide context
on why this topic was chosen for her undergraduate thesis. Section two addresses the importance
of read alouds in a child’s literacy journey and serves as a framework for the remainder of the
review. Section three discusses the vitality of the participation of fathers in the practice and
includes the explanation of the feminization of reading and the implications of the lack of fathers
within the read aloud experience. Section four discusses the implications of fathers taking an
active role in reading aloud. Lastly, section five serves as a resource pool for fathers, including
tips, a guide to community resources, and sample book lists.

Explaining inaction: feminist organizational responses to new reproductive technologies
No full textUnderstanding what motivates groups to act has been central to the study of interest groups. Scholars have also detailed the means by which groups act on the issues they have decided to pursue. However, explanations of why groups fail to act remain rare. Not much attention has been given to explaining why groups fail or choose not to pursue particular courses of action when it would seem reasonable to do so or why groups view some issues as appropriate for action while other, similar issues fall by the wayside.
This study examines feminist organizations' failure to respond to the next generation of challenges to the contemporary feminist movement: new reproductive technologies. I ask, "How can we understand the lack of feminist organizations' activity on new reproductive technologies given the centrality of these issues to the contemporary feminist movement and the impact that they have had on women and society as a whole?" Using interview data from seven prominent feminist organizations, this study explores how organizations decide what issues make it onto their agendas and the influence that issue salience, political opportunity, policy entrepreneurship, and resource mobilization have on an organization's agenda-setting practices. This study also provides greater insight into the significant impact that feminist reproductive discourse of rights and choice has on defining, even constraining, feminist organizations' agendas and politics.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical references (p. 159-167)
