“…Among Latinos, the level of acculturation may be central to understanding both prevalence rates and forms of IPV (Kantor, Jasinski, & Aldorondo, 1994). However, studies examining the role of Work-related IPV 12 acculturation on IPV have produced mixed findings (Chun & Akutsu, 2003;Garcia, Hurwitz, & Kraus, 2005;Jasinski, 1998;Kasturirangan, Krishnan, & Riger, 2004;Klevens, 2007).…”

“…The role of acculturation in the experience and perpetration of IPV has been explored in various studies; however, they have produced mixed findings (Chun & Akutsu, 2003;Garcia, Hurwitz, & Kraus, 2005;Jasinski, 1998;Kasturirangan, Krishnan, & Riger, 2004;Klevens, 2007). A plethora of studies have shown that higher levels of acculturation are associated with higher rates of IPV than less acculturated Latinos (Caetano, Schafer, Clark, Cunradi, & Raspberry, 2000;Firestone, Lambert, & Vega, 1999;Ingram, 2007;Kantor, Jasinski, & Aldorondo, 1994).…”

“…In summary, research on the relationship between acculturation and prevalence of IPV has produced mixed findings (Caetano, Ramisetty-Mikler, & McGrath, 2004;Caetano, Schafer, Clark, Cunradi & Respberry, 2000;Chun & Akutsu, 2003;Garcia, Hurwitz, & Kraus, 2005;Jasinski, 1998;Kasturirangan, Krishnan, & Riger, 2004;Klevens, 2007). Some studies suggest that acculturation does not protect against partner violence and in some instances may even contribute to abuse.…”

Intimate partner violence (IPV), typically considered in the domestic context, has been shown to have considerable effects on women's employment and health.While the literature has recently grown in this area, very few studies have examined the prevalence of work-related IPV among men. Furthermore, the extant literature on work-related IPV has largely ignored the experience of ethnic minorities, specifically Latinos. Many factors suggest that rates and forms of IPV might be different among other racial and ethnic groups. Some studies that examine IPV among Latinos have sought to understand the role of acculturation and socioeconomic contexts. The purpose of this study was to examine work-related IPV among a sample of men enrolled in batterer intervention programs. In addition, we sought to examine the relationship between acculturation, socioeconomic contexts, and reports of workrelated IPV among a subset of male Latinos.Overall, the findings confirm the upper ranges of previous estimates across studies (36% to 75%) of employed victims of IPV and their harassment by abusive partners while at work (Swanberg, Logan, & Macke, 2005;Taylor & Barusch, 2004).Specifically, we found that 60% of the entire sample reported work-related IPV that involved threatening behaviors and physical violence at their partner's job. The findings among Latinos suggest that a positive relationship exists between acculturation and work-related IPV. Specifically, proxy variables of acculturation ii (e.g., country of birth, language of survey, number of years in the U.S.) were hypothesized to be positively associated with higher levels of acculturation. Consistent with the hypotheses, we found significant relationships in the direction proposed.Lastly, socioeconomic status (e.g., income, education, employment status) was hypothesized to play a moderating role between acculturation and work-related IPV.However, results generally suggest that socioeconomic status (i.e., income, education) did not moderate the relationship between acculturation and work-related IPV.This study makes important contributions to the literature and has implications for employers. The significant rates of work-related IPV found in this study highlight the need to address this problem among employed males as an important step in preventing work-related IPV. Among Latinos, the level of acculturation and factors such as income, employment, and education are important contextual factors that provide a better understanding of IPV in Latino communities (Gryywacz, Rao, Gentry,

“…He suggested there is a need for research to understand how Mexican American women experience interactions with the health care system, with their partners, and with social institutions like religion. The use of fertility rates and epidemiological data alone will not provide the information needed to become familiar with the beliefs, experiences, and problems of these women and to design the services to respond to their needs (Chun & Akutsu, 2002). The female is at the center of the Mexican family and receives honor and prestige.…”

All Rights Reserved iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTSTo my mother and father, who gave me so much and were always proud of me, no matter what I decided to do next. To my wonderful family for their support and encouragement, even though they often times did not understand why I would want to return to school.My children (Sean and Angela, Erika and David) and my grandchildren (Evan, Cameron, Tyler, and Aaron), I appreciate how you helped me by giving me space, help with editing and computer programs, but especially for providing your Nana wonderful distractions, love, and laughs.To my husband, Phil. He has been the one who has always encouraged me, and when I thought I could not do any more, told me to do it. He has always believed I could do more than I thought I could.To the Mexican origin women who were willing to participate in this study and share their thoughts and feelings. Without you, this study would not have happened. To Silvia Urueta and Juanita Garcia who provided help with interviews and finding the women for the study.Most of all, I want to thank Dr. Mary Lou Bond for her guidance, encouragement, and patience during the process of writing my dissertation. All the tense changes about drove us both crazy. You were always there for me. I also want to thank her for suggesting that I start the program and mentoring me through to completion. I could not ask for a better mentor.I also want to thank Dr. Carolyn Cason for giving me a job and allowing me to learn and make mistakes. You have been a wonderful inspiration and have provided great opportunities to help me grow as a scholar. To all my great friends whom I have made; we could not have done it without each other.We have shared joys, sorrows, frustrations, but most of all some great times together. I will treasure this time we have had together. For those still to come, it will happen! The faculty and staff at the University of Texas at Arlington have given me a warm place to grow, provided encouragement, and shared in the joys of my success. I could not ask for a better place to grow and become a nurse scientist. from the interviews; determination to succeed, strong woman, and good mother. These themes vi appear to be interrelated and separation may not be possible with this group of women. Nurses and other health care providers need to be aware of the cultural patterns of this group of women during pregnancy. As noted by other researchers, nurses need to capitalize on the strength of these women instead of their deficits when providing care for them. Because of the importance of the other women in the expectant woman's life, suggestions for changes in formal prenatal classes as the primary mode of preparation for birth and parenting need to be considered.Services need to support their existing resiliency (determination and strength). Intergenerational and interventional research is needed to learn how to be more attuned to the beliefs and thoughts of this group of women and design appropriate programs of prenatal care and education for them.

IMPORTANCEStrategies that enhance self-care of patients with heart failure reduce mortality and health care use. OBJECTIVE To examine whether an empowerment-based self-care education program was more effective and cost-effective to improve self-care, health status, and hospital service use than a didactic education program in patients with heart failure. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS In this double-blind randomized clinical trial, a consecutive sample of 988 patients with heart failure from the cardiac clinics of 2 regional hospitals underwent eligibility screening from February 1, 2017, to May 31, 2019, using the criteria of age of 55 years or older, heart failure diagnosed 6 months before screening, and New York Heart Association class II to IV. A total of 236 participants were randomized to the empowerment (n = 118) or education (n = 118) group. INTERVENTIONS The 12-week, group-based, empowerment-based education program included self-care assessment, goal-orientated actions in symptom recognition and response, fluid and dietary modification, and lifestyle management. Didactic education covered the same topics without empowerment strategies. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURESThe primary outcome was self-care measured by the Self-care Heart Failure Index (SCHFI) maintenance, management, and symptom perception subscales at posttest and 3-month end points. Secondary outcomes included measures of knowledge, confidence, health-related quality of life, and health service use. Direct, indirect, and social costs of the 2 programs were collected for cost-effectiveness analysis. RESULTSA total of 236 Chinese patients (mean [SD] age, 70 [8.0] years; 149 [63.1%] men) were included in the study. The empowerment group reported significantly greater improvement in SCHFI management scores (mean difference, 13.76; 95% CI, 5.89-21.62; Cohen d = 0.46 at posttest and Cohen d = 0.35 at 3 months) and symptom perception scores (mean difference, 20.36; 95% CI, 13.98-26.75; Cohen d = 0.84 at posttest and Cohen d = 0.61 at 3 months). The empowerment group had lower risks of emergency department attendance (incidence rate ratio, 0.55; 95% CI, 0.31-0.95; P = .03) and hospital admission (incidence rate ratio, 0.38; 95% CI, 0.21-0.68; P = .001) and better improved self-care knowledge (change in score [empowerment minus education], 1.29; 95% CI, 0.48-2.09) and confidence (change in score [empowerment minus education], 7.98; 95% CI, 1.91-14.05). Empowerment was cost-saving and cost-effective at T2 compared with the education group for quality-adjusted life-years, with an incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of −114 485.(continued) Key Points Question What are the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of a 12-week, empowerment-based self-care intervention on health outcomes and health care use among patients with heart failure? Findings In this randomized clinical trial of 236 patients with heart failure, when compared with didactic education, an empowerment-based self-care intervention was effective and costeffective, resulting in improvement in s...
