Criminal Law - Rape - Sufficiency of Evidence to Support Conviction - Corroboration of Complainant\u27s Testimony

The District of Columbia Court of Appeals had held that corroboration of a mature complainant\u27s testimony is no longer required to sustain a conviction for rape, abrogating its corroboration rule. Arnold v. United States, 358 A.2d 335 (D.C. Ct. App. 1976) (en banc)

Listening to the Voices of Emerging Adults: The Experience of Living with PHIV

The purpose of this descriptive study was to explore the research question: As an emerging adult what is your everyday experience of living with PHIV? The purposive sample consisted of six emerging adults living with perinatally acquired HIV (PHIV), who are 18-29 years of age, speak English, and live in the greater Chicago area. This was an exploratory study using a participatory action approach of photovoice. Photovoice methodology combines photography and participatory action to provide images and the participants\u27 interpretations of their everyday health realities. Five themes which describe the everyday experience of living with PHIV emerged from the thematic analysis of the data: refusal to be defined by HIV, living life to the fullest, empowerment through social connections, the need for political support, and hope. Refusal to be defined by HIV emerged as the rejection of being solely described as a person with the virus. Secondly, living life to the fullest is valuing every past, present, and future moment despite living with PHIV. Empowerment through social connections describes how emerging adults with PHIV gain power through engagement with others such as peers living with HIV, romantic partners, family, and community. The fourth theme to emerge is the need for political support. Political support is the need for assistance in ways to achieve funding, promote advocacy (voice), and feel secure. Lastly, hope is the belief that desires and dreams can be achieved despite living with PHIV through education, spiritual beliefs, and self-preservation. Findings are consistent with the theory of Emerging Adulthood and describe the sample as doing well, pursuing education, being connected to health care and engaging in relationships. Results indicate additional research is needed to address gaps in our knowledge including how emerging adults living with PHIV deal with stress and anxiety as well as engage in decision-making about health, love, and work. Finally, we need to further understand how these emerging adults handle change in love relationships and how spiritual practices and behaviors influence sexual attitudes and beliefs and activities

Risk Assessment Strategy for Late Preterm Infants

Late preterm infants (LPIs), born between 34 and 36 6/7 weeks gestation, face many challenges. These infants comprise 71% of preterm births and 8.7% of all births in the United States (Hamilton, Martin, & Ventura, 2010). They have a higher incidence of medical complications than their full-term counterparts leading to longer hospital stays or readmissions (Consortium on Safe Labor, 2010; Khashu, Narayanan, Bhargava, & Osiovich, 2009; Pulver et al., 2010). The nurse’s role in educating parents of LPIs is pertinent as these babies are at heightened risk for a number of significant complications. The purpose of this project is to determine if adopting an evidence-based parent teaching model of care will improve clinical outcomes, build parents’ skills and self-confidence in caring for their LPIs at home, and reduce hospital readmissions. “Late Preterm Infants: What Parents Need to Know,” a free patient education brochure, which is available in English and Spanish from Association of Women’s Health, Obstetric and Neonatal Nurse’s LPI Initiative. The parents were given a pre and post questionnaire on the material presented in the teaching. Follow-up phone calls were made to collect data regarding emergency room visits or hospitalizations to the mother at 1 month from the discharge date.Even though there were no readmissions between the two groups, the study shows a significant gap in the parental knowledge in taking care of these infants. Hence, this researcher felt the implementation of a LPI teaching tool ensures care is evidence-based and provides a framework for measuring patient outcomes

Scientific writing development: Improve DNP student skill and writing efficiency

Background: Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) students lack sufficient opportunities to practice writing. Students and faculty require clear expectations and consistent feedback to improve skills. Objective: This study evaluated a rubric-driven scientific writing development program. Design: A mixed methods design was used. Setting: The study was conducted in a post-Master\u27s DNP Program. Participants: The sample included DNP students and faculty. Methods: The intervention was delivered to 10 students and writing proficiency was assessed over five semesters. Overall doctoral project quality and rigor were assessed at the end of the program and compared to a similar group of students (n = 20). Seven faculty and eight students participated in qualitative interviews. Results: Performance improved from Semesters 1 to 5; and though quality and rigor did not differ, the intervention group\u27s final papers were more efficiently written with approximately 17 fewer pages and an average review time of eight fewer minutes than the comparison group. Participants identified the rubric, feedback, and scaffolding as helpful program components. Conclusions: Scientific writing development is essential to DNP education. The intervention improved skill performance and writing efficiency
