Filter by:Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between nursing students' personality traits and competence in workplace violence management. Background: Violence against nursing students is a growing concern in nursing education, clinical practice, and professional development and needs to be managed. Design: A cross-sectional study. Methods: This study was conducted with 321 nursing students in the summer of 2022.
This study will pilot a family-focused, behavioral health intervention while also developing and piloting mHealth tools to support Community Health Workers (CHWs) in Sierra Leone. This dual focus will help build capacity both for delivery of evidence-based mental health services to reduce family violence and harsh parenting practices, and for effective use of mHealth strategies to improve healthcare delivery quality. This study will leverage Government of Sierra Leone investments in community health initiatives as a strategy to address critical healthcare workforce limitations that plague delivery of evidence-based interventions to vulnerable families in post-conflict Sierra Leone. Study aims are to: Aim 1. Employ a five-phase user-centered design approach to develop and test mHealth tools to improve training, supervision, and fidelity monitoring of Community Health Workers. Study investigators hypothesize that mHealth tools will be feasible, acceptable, and user-friendly. Aim 2. Conduct a Randomized Controlled Pilot Study to assess feasibility, acceptability, costs and preliminary effects of the mHealth-supported delivery of FSI-ECD on parent mental health, emotion regulation, and familial violence in high risk families with children aged 6-36 months (n=40) in comparison to control families (n=40) who receive standard care. Parental mental health, emotion regulation, household violence, and parenting practices will be assessed at baseline, post-intervention and 6-month follow-up. Study investigators hypothesize that (a) the effects of the FSI-ECD will be comparable to results observed with vulnerable families in Rwanda; (b) digital tools will be feasible and acceptable to CHWs and supervisors. Aim 3. Leverage well-established relationships and government partners to strengthen capacity for mHealth research and quality healthcare delivery in Sierra Leone. Partners include the University of Makeni, the Directorate of Science, Technology and Innovation, and the Ministry of Health and Sanitation.
The current trial focuses on the effectiveness evaluation of Semillas de Apego in Tumaco, a municipality in Colombia heavily affected by violence and poverty. Over a time-span of 23 months, the researchers will follow the implementation of Semillas de Apego with 40 groups of 16 participants each, all of them mothers or primary caregivers of children 2 to 5. This will allow the researchers to reach a total of 640 participants and their children. The impact evaluation will be based on a cluster- randomized control trial in which the researchers will assign 1280 eligible subjects, nested within 18 child development centers, to either an intervention arm or a control group. The former group will participate in 15 group-led session over the period of 3 months; the latter will continue to have access to the regular early childhood programs offered through the centers to which children are affiliated. Data will be collected at baseline and two follow-ups: 1 and 12 months after the implementation has concluded. The researchers hypothesize that the program will have a positive and sequential impact on the following dimensions: (i) primary caregiver's mental health, (ii) child rearing practices, (iii) quality of child-parent emotional bond, (iv) children's mental health, and (v) children's cognitive and socioemotional development.
Pediatricians are supposed to talk about youth violence at all heath supervision visits, however these types of conversations rarely occur. There have been no studies assessing tools to prompt these discussions. The goal of this study is to see if electronic pre-visit questionnaires (PVQs) prompt patient-provider discussion of youth violence (YV) in the primary care setting. Additionally, patient-provider characteristics are explored as mediators to youth violence discussions, as well as feasibility and acceptability of the PVQ by patients and providers. Adolescents ages 13 to 21 who come to the Hasbro Primary Care Clinics for annual physicals will be recruited. A baseline phase was conducted to look at how often providers ask about health-related teen behaviors, assessed by exit survey. The experimental period will involve adolescents completing health-related behavior PVQ, given to their doctor prior to the visit. Exit survey will assess topics discussed. Experimental group will differ from control group based on PVQ containing extra questions about youth violence.
