Measuring Successful Aging in Southern Black Older Adults

Educational Gerontology (2010)

Meredith Troutman Mary A. Nies Monica Bentley

With the growing size of the population of aging Black individuals, it is important to understand successful aging in this group. This study, therefore, piloted the Successful Aging Inventory (SAI) with a convenience sample of Black older adults. Participants completed a demographic form, the SAI, Purpose in Life Test, Life Satisfaction Inventory-A, Mastery Scale, and Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale. Internal reliability and convergent and discriminant validity were acceptable. The SAI appears suitable for examining successful aging in Black older adults.

Model for Community Health Nursing Care: Application to an Integrated Asthma Intervention Program

The Journal of School Nursing (2002)

Mary A. Nies Joan T. Bickes Stephanie Myers Schim Amy L. Johnson

The article describes the use of a model for community health nursing care applied to an integrated asthma intervention program in an inner-city context. Asthma is a chronic childhood disease with broad physical, social, and economic impact on children, families, and communities. Despite recent advances in asthma understanding and treatment, morbidity and mortality continue to rise. This model suggests ways to combine individual, family, school, and community interventions to enhance coordination and increase the impact of services. It outlines needs and opportunities for collegial collaboration between professional nurses in varied practice settings. Application of the model to the management of asthma in the urban setting demonstrates the potential to produce significant improvement in the management of conditions such as asthma and highlights the key role that school nurses play.

Renin–Angiotensin System Components and Arachidonic Acid Metabolites as Biomarkers of COVID-19

Biomedicines (2023)

Biwash Ghimire Sana Khajehpour Elizabeth A. Middleton Robert A. Campbell Mary A. Nies

Through the ACE2, a main enzyme of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS), SARS-CoV-2 gains access into the cell, resulting in different complications which may extend beyond the RAS and impact the Arachidonic Acid (ArA) pathway. The contribution of the RAS through ArA pathways metabolites in the pathogenesis of COVID-19 is unknown. We investigated whether RAS components and ArA metabolites can be considered biomarkers of COVID-19. We measured the plasma levels of RAS and ArA metabolites using an LC-MS/MS. Results indicate that Ang 1-7 levels were significantly lower, whereas Ang II levels were higher in the COVID-19 patients than in healthy control individuals. The ratio of Ang 1-7/Ang II as an indicator of the RAS classical and protective arms balance was dramatically lower in COVID-19 patients. There was no significant increase in inflammatory 19-HETE and 20-HETE levels. The concentration of EETs was significantly increased in COVID-19 patients, whereas the DHETs concentration was repressed. Their plasma levels were correlated with Ang II concentration in COVID-19 patients. In conclusion, evaluating the RAS and ArA pathway biomarkers could provide helpful information for the early detection of high-risk groups, avoid delayed medical attention, facilitate resource allocation, and improve patient clinical outcomes to prevent long COVID incidence.

Informed Consent and the Limited English Patient: A Pilot Project with Dental Hygiene Students to Assess Student Knowledge, Perceptions, and Attitudes.

PubMed (2017)

H. Cathleen Tarp Tammy R. Sanderson M Elizabeth Fore Mary A. Nies

Informed consent is the process by which a patient agrees to or rejects a proposed plan of treatment after a discussion with the provider about the benefits, risks, and alternative treatments available. In the United States, a signed informed consent form is required before any treatment plan may be implemented. However, there is no literature addressing how students in health professions understand informed consent in the context of encounters with limited English proficient (LEP) patients. The purpose of this interprofessional, interdisciplinary pilot project was to explore and assess Idaho State University's dental hygiene students' knowledge, perceptions, and attitudes associated with the process of informed consent when working with LEP patients in a dental hygiene setting. Using mixed-methods methodology, we administered a pre-immersion survey to 28 second-year dental hygiene students. These students then participated in a simulated encounter with Spanish-speaking mock-patients and trained interpreters. After the immersive experience, students completed a post-immersion survey. Study results indicate overall positive increases in student knowledge, perceptions, and attitudes toward various aspects of the provider-LEP patient encounter.

Exercise DVD Improves Exercise Expectations in Cardiovascular Outpatients

American Journal of Health Behavior (2011)

Kristin S. Vickers Mary A. Nies Ross Dierkhising Simone Salandy Marwan Jumean

To assess impact of exercise education intervention on exercise frequency and attitudes.Cardiovascular outpatients (N=509) were randomized to receive an education DVD or standard care. Outcome measures (baseline and 6 weeks) assessed exercise frequency and cognitive variables.There was no difference between groups on exercise frequency change from baseline, but DVD group reported greater exercise outcome expectations than control group (P=0.01). There was a greater increase in relapse-prevention behavior in the DVD group, compared to control, for those with low relapse-prevention behavior at baseline (P=0.02).A minimal intervention improves outcome expectations for exercise.
