life strengths Interview Guide
Journal of Gerontological Social Work, 2001Co-Authors: Helen Q Kivnick, Shirley V MurrayAbstract:Abstract While standardization of assessment tools in gerontological social work permits comparability across individuals, and within individuals across time paradoxically, this same standardization eliminates from consideration those individual differences that may have most to do with client outcomes. This manuscript presents a theoretical and practical basis for assessing strengths in frail elder clients, and for utilizing these strengths in designing and implementing individual case plans. Further, we introduce an assessment tool, in the form of a set of specific questions that may be utilized by practitioners in meaningfully gathering information about personal strengths and assets from frail elder clients.

comparison of the standard and structured Interview Guide for the hamilton depression rating scale in depressed geriatric inpatients
American Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry, 2001Co-Authors: Paul J Moberg, Lawrence W Lazarus, Raquelle I Mesholam, Warren B Bilker, Ismael Lee Chuy, Ida Neyman, Virginia MarkvartAbstract:The interrater reliability of the standard Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (Ham-D) and a structured Interview Guide for the Ham-D (the SIGH-D) were compared in a sample of 20 elderly inpatients with major depression. Each patient was independently Interviewed by four raters; two used the standard 24-item Ham-D, and the other two used a 24-item modified version of the Structured Interview Guide for the Ham-D. Systematic counterbalancing of raters and scales and a stringent evaluation schedule were used to counter position effects, spontaneous symptom change, or diurnal variation. The modified SIGH-D produced uniformly higher item- and summary-scale reliabilities than the unstructured Ham-D.

Caring in telehealth.
Telemedicine Journal and E-health, 2009Co-Authors: Shainy B. Varghese, Carolyn A. PhillipsAbstract:This study used naturalistic inquiry methodology to elicit the subjective perceptions and reflections of a sample of advanced practice nurses (APNs) about how they convey caring in the context of telehealth. Thirteen APNs, selected by purposive and snowball sampling, participated in the study. The data for the study consisted of Interviews conducted by e-mail using a semistructured Interview Guide. Data analysis used the constant comparison method; rigor and trustworthiness of the study procedures were established using the criteria of credibility, confirmability, dependability, and transferability. The findings of this study revealed that the APNs conveyed caring to their telehealth patients by (1) being with them, (2) personifying the images, and (3) expressing specific attributes.

using an Interview Guide to identify effective nurse managers phase ii outcomes
Nursing administration quarterly, 2000Co-Authors: Donna Fosbinder, Sally Eversonbates, Lee HendrixAbstract:The investigators report validation of a survey tool called the Interview Guide to assist in the selection of nurses who will be effective as managers. Nurse administrators rated nurse managers at six months and two years after hire. The Interview Guide rated the management qualities "seeing the big picture" and potential for "rehire" as the best predictors of managerial success. After two years, a good "self-concept" or a "flexible attitude" was the best predictor. The ability to manage conflict was the most significant competency for predicting rehire at both six months and two years.

the use of technology in participant tracking and study retention lessons learned from a clinical trials network study
Substance Abuse, 2015Co-Authors: Shannon Gwin Mitchell, Robert P Schwartz, Anika A H Alvanzo, Monique S Weisman, Tiffany Kyle, Eva Turrigiano, Martha L Gibson, Livangelie Perez, Erin A Mcclure, Sara ClingermanAbstract:ABSTRACTBackground: The growing use of newer communication and Internet technologies, even among low-income and transient populations, require research staff to update their outreach strategies to ensure high follow-up and participant retention rates. This paper presents the views of research assistants on the use of cell phones and the Internet to track participants in a multisite randomized trial of substance use disorder treatment. Methods: PreInterview questionnaires exploring tracking and other study-related activities were collected from 21 research staff across the 10 participating US sites. Data were then used to construct a semistructured Interview Guide that, in turn, was used to Interview 12 of the same staff members. The questionnaires and Interview data were entered in Atlas.ti and analyzed for emergent themes related to the use of technology for participant-tracking purposes. Results: Study staff reported that most participants had cell phones, despite having unstable physical addresses and ...
