Searching for their Path: Understanding Parents of Children with Emotional Disturbance
(May 2024) Nighswander, Michelle 1969-; Blair, Patricia (pablair@utmb.edu); Prochaska, John; Leonard, Bruce; Leger, J. Michael; Rounds, Linda
Background: Children with Emotional Disturbance (ED) have unpredictable reactions and behaviors, which cause significant problems for themselves, their families and society (Zionts et al., 2016). The child’s reactions are highly disproportionate, chronic and frequent (Gage, 2013). These children have significant risks related to their ED, including school drop-out, incarceration, unemployment and substance abuse (Lipscomb et al., 2018). Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore participants’ experiences related to raising a child with ED, participants’ response to situations related to their child’s ED, and how a child with ED impacted the family. Method: This study explored the parenting experiences of mothers of children with ED, utilizing Naturalistic Inquiry as described by Lincoln and Guba (1985) and Erlandson et al. (1993). After IRB approval, eight mothers were recruited nationally through social media. Results: Three overarching constructs emerged in the study. The first construct, “concerns and suspicions,” was the evolution of mothers’ concerns, rationalizations, escalations, decision and eventual confirmation that their child was “different.” “Actions and adaptations” depicted the actions used to manage their child with ED, along with actions for self-care and siblings’ care. “Altered families and advice for others” described how every family member was impacted by the child with ED and participants’ advice on how to ease the difficulties for other families. Study findings suggested needed changes to nursing practice, education and policy.

Assessment of Reflective Teaching Practice in Undergraduate Nursing Faculty
(May 2024) Jacob, Priya; O'keefe, Mary E. (meokeefe@UTMB.EDU); Juarez, Adrian (axjuarez@UTMB.EDU); Nguyen, Hoang T. (hnguyen@UTMB.EDU); Campo-Engelstein, Lisa (licampoe@UTMB.EDU); Jammer, Veronica (veronica.jammer@sjcd.edu)
The goal of the study was to assess levels of Reflective Teaching Practice employed by undergraduate nursing faculty and teach measures to increase utilization in undergraduate nursing program. This proposed Pilot was conducted using a pre- and post-intervention design with a convenience sample of participants. Using this design, the study compared the level of engagement in self-reflection score in Reflective Teaching Practice (RTP) pre- and post-Strategic Reflective Training Session (SRTS) in undergraduate nursing faculty, as measured by the Self-Reflection and Insight Scale (SRIS); and determine the relationship between engagement in self-reflection score pre and post SRTS as measured by the SRIS, and years of teaching experience as recorded on the Demographic Data Sheet. A paired t-test was conducted to calculate the difference in level of engagement pre- and post-SRTS; and a one-way ANOVA was conducted to determine the relationship between engagement of self-reflection score pre-SRTS, post- SRTS, and years of teaching experience. Based on the data analysis, there was no statistically significant difference in overall engagement in self-reflection score pre- and post-SRTS, and there was no statistically significant difference between the years of experience and pre- and post-SRTS scores.
