Title : GROW: Green Organic Vegetable Gardens to Promote Older Adult Wellness: a Feasibility Study Material Type: printed text Authors: Strout, Kelley, Author Publication Date: 2018 Article on page: p.115-125 Languages : English (eng) Original Language : English (eng)
in Journal of Community Health Nursing > Vol.34 No.3 (Jul-Sep) 2017 [03/22/2018] . - p.115-125Keywords: Green Organic Vegetable.Older Adult Wellness.Organic Vegetable Gardens. Abstract: Protecting older adult’s cognitive health is a public health priority. Wellness behaviors within 6 domains have demonstrated effectiveness in protecting older adult’s cognitive abilities. Interventions targeted to low-income older adults are needed because these populations experience greater social and physical health disparities compared to adults in higher socioeconomic statuses. This study examined the feasibility of engaging independent, community-dwelling older adults living in low-income senior housing in cultivating raised-bed gardens and reviewed the improvements in cognition and nutrition. Ten participants received ergonomic garden tools, seeds, waist-height garden beds, and weekly garden education. Participants planted vegetables of their choosing and tended to their garden beds for 17 weeks. Cognition and nutrition outcomes were measured before and after the intervention. Adults successfully engaged in the intervention throughout the duration and experienced improvement in cognitive and nutrition outcomes.

Title : US Healthcare Experiences of Hispanic Patients with Diabetes and Family Members: A Qualitative Analysis Material Type: printed text Authors: Amirehsani, Karen A., Author ; Hu, Jie, Author ; Wallace, Debra C., Author Publication Date: 2018 Article on page: 126-135 Languages : English (eng) Original Language : English (eng)
in Journal of Community Health Nursing > Vol.34 No.3 (Jul-Sep) 2017 [03/22/2018] . - 126-135Keywords: Hispanic Patients. Diabetes.Family Members.US Healthcare. Abstract: Hispanics in the United States experience significant health disparities. Using focus groups conducted in Spanish, we explored the perspectives of 172 Hispanic adults regarding their healthcare experiences. Many participants were women (64.5%) and primarily from Mexico (80%). Four major qualitative themes emerged: (a) provide us with information, (b) want attentive and respectful relationships, (c) want better care, and (d) perceived discrimination. Suboptimal patient-provider interactions were described. Research is needed to explore interventions that address these issues. Incorporating person-centered care principles and practices such as clear and understandable communication, culturally competent care, and customer service skills may benefit provider interactions with Hispanics.

Title : Improving Asthma Control through Asthma Action Plans: A Quality Improvement Project at a Midwest Community Clinic Material Type: printed text Authors: Akhter, Laila S., Author ; Monkman, Jeyn L, Author ; Vang, Gao, Author Publication Date: 2018 Article on page: p.136-146 Languages : English (eng) Original Language : English (eng)
in Journal of Community Health Nursing > Vol.34 No.3 (Jul-Sep) 2017 [03/22/2018] . - p.136-146Keywords: Asthma Control.Asthma Action Plans.Midwest Community Clinic. Abstract: This urban community clinic had poor asthma outcomes compared to the state of Minnesota. The standard of care supports an annual Asthma Action Plan (AAP). However, the majority of patients at this clinic had not received one. This quality improvement project aimed to improve asthma control, measured by an asthma control test of at least 20, through AAP implementation supported by all team members. The clinic’s interdisciplinary champion group implemented workflow changes via practice facilitation and Plan-Do-Study-Act cycles. Asthma control rates increased from 23% to 58% in adults and 45% to 63% in children over one year, a statistically significant change.

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to develop a smartphone-based injury-prevention application (S-IPA) for teachers working in child-care centers, and to test the satisfaction level of the users of the application (app). Through a literature review and needs assessment, an app compatible with the Apple iPhone operating system was developed. The app was verified and the mean total satisfaction with 7 features of the app was 7.76 (± 1.13) on a score of 1–10. The result of the S-IPA survey showed a positive response, indicating a high potential for use as a teacher’s educational guide, which would provide an effective information delivery system for the prevention of possible injuries at child-care centers.

Title : Our Children, Our Hope: Voices of African American Mothers Living with HIV and Rearing Uninfected Children Material Type: printed text Authors: Muzem, Ruth, Author ; Onsomu, Elijah O., Author Publication Date: 2018 Article on page: p.160-168 Languages : English (eng) Original Language : English (eng)

Abstract: Parenting school-aged children while living with HIV has been associated with significant consequences for African American mothers. This article presents and discusses the results of a qualitative study that examined the parenting experiences of HIV-infected African American mothers rearing young children. A sample of 8 inner-city, African American mothers of uninfected preschool-aged children were interviewed individually. Interview guide questions explored day-to-day childcare activities from the mothers’ perspective. Five themes emerged: role of mothering, doing it all, less time for self, fear, and hope. Findings can be used to guide the development of programs to support HIV-infected mothers rearing young children.

Title : Bullying: Effects on School-Aged Children, Screening Tools, and Referral Sources Material Type: printed text Authors: Fisher, Katie, Author Publication Date: 2018 Article on page: p.171-179 Languages : English (eng) Original Language : English (eng)
in Journal of Community Health Nursing > Vol.34 No.3 (Jul-Sep) 2017 [03/22/2018] . - p.171-179Keywords: School-Aged Children.Screening Tools.Referral Sources. Abstract: Bullying is not a new concept or behavior, and is now gaining national attention as a growing public health concern. Bullying leads to short- and long-term physical and psychological damage to both the victims and the bullies. The serious implications of bullying drive a clinical mandate for teachers and school nurses to be educated and adequately trained to identify and address bullying within schools. This review of the literature describes screening tools that can be utilized to identify both victims and bullies. In addition, referral services utilizing collaborative intervention measures are discussed. This literature review will help school nurses and teachers to identify and expand their role in school-wide bullying prevention and intervention measures.

Title : Public Health and School Nurses’ Perceptions of Barriers to HPV Vaccination in Missouri Material Type: printed text Authors: Rhodes, Darson, Author ; Rhodes, Darson, Author ; Cox, Carol, Author Publication Date: 2018 Article on page: p.180-189 Languages : English (eng) Original Language : English (eng)

Abstract: Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) is associated with various forms of cancer and is preventable with vaccination. Nurses are in a unique position to directly influence a person’s decision to receive the HPV vaccine. A statewide sample of both school and public health nurses was used to assess knowledge and attitudes related to the HPV vaccine as well as nurse’s behaviors and behavioral intentions toward educating parents and recommending the vaccine. Positive attitudes and adequate knowledge levels were found, however, the majority of school nurses did not provide information and resources to parents. Targeted health promotion programs for school nurses are recommended.

Abstract: The objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of Healthy Families, a family-based community intervention, in improving the knowledge, self-efficacy, and health behaviors of overweight/obese children and their families as well as to explore the lessons learned. Results showed families who completed the program had significant improvements for children and parents in areas such as nutrition knowledge and self-efficacy in making healthy eating choices as well as participating in physical activity. Additionally, families reported decreasing their intake of sugar-sweetened beverages. Participating families and community partners provided valuable lessons for other communities seeking to implement a similar program.
