Abstract The current study examined the relationship between dyadic adult attachment and aggressive behaviors within romantic relationships using a sample of 696 couples. Individual styles were paired to form categorization. Differential inferential statistics used determine differences dyads regarding behaviors. Relationships consisting one insecurely attached partner had higher levels aggression than secure/secure dyads, while insecure/insecure highest among all groups. These findings...
Abstract Background Migrant and seasonal farmworking (MSFW) women patients experience substantially more intimate partner violence (IPV) than the general population, but few health‐care providers screen for IPV. While researchers have examined screening practices in settings, none exclusively focused on MSFW women. Objective The aim of this phenomenological study was to explore experiences who screened and/or addressed IPV with patients. Design Researchers utilized descriptive phenomenology...
ABSTRACT Introduction In prolonged care scenarios, where medical evacuations are significantly delayed, the treatment and transport of casualties with extremity musculoskeletal injuries will drain combat units’ human resources. Developing enhanced splinting techniques to restore casualty mobility function can alleviate this drain. To guide development, a panel tactical wilderness medicine experts was assembled determine which had greatest impact on unit capabilities, materials available for...
Abstract Background Autonomic rehabilitation using osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) to stimulate the vagus nerve may be a good adjunct therapy by physiatrists who treat dysautonomia. Heart rate variability (HRV) provide quantitative evidence for benefits of OMT on autonomic nervous system function. Elevated HRV indicates optimal health and reduced mortality risk, whereas low is associated with stress, pain, chronic disease pathology. Objective To analyze impact modified...
Abstract Introduction Lower extremity injury is common in the military and can lead to instability, pain, decreased function. Military service also places high physical demands on members (SMs). Standard treatment interventions often fail align with these unique demands. Thus, goal of study was evaluate effectiveness a military-specific virtual reality–based rehabilitation (VR) intervention supplemental standard care (SC) improving performance SMs lower injuries. Materials Methods As part an...
The potential for delayed evacuation of injured Service members from austere environments highlights the need to develop solutions that can stabilize a wound and enable mobility during these prolonged casualty care (PCC) scenarios. Lower extremity fractures have traditionally been treated by immobilization (splinting) followed air - paradigm not practical in PCC In civilian sector, treatment injuries sustained remote recreational activities similar challenges, particularly when adverse...
Clients receiving weatherization/energy services with an added injury prevention home assessment modifications/repairs experienced a decline in falls and thus fall-related costs. Interventions 35 homes were associated significant reductions from baseline to 6 months postintervention (from 94% 9%; P < .001) calls for assistance 23% 3%; .02). The the intervention group was when adjusted comparison effect (P = .07). At median cost of $2058 per home, addition component led by occupational...
ABSTRACT Introduction Rehabilitation research of wounded service members (SMs) commonly focuses on physical ability to return duty (RTD) as a measure successful recovery. However, numerous factors or barriers may influence SM’s and/or desire RTD after lower extremity musculoskeletal trauma. SMs themselves well the clinical care team that works with them daily, often for years at time, both offer unique perspectives influential weigh into decisions RTD. The purpose this study was identify...
