Constructivist grounded theory of distress management in cancer survivors. (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Snowden, A. (2012, April). Constructivist grounded theory of distress management in cancer survivors. Paper presented at 2012 International Nursing Research Conference

Background: The distress thermometer is a valid
measure of distress in cancer. However, there is
less evidence as to what this may mean for the
patient experience of distress (Snowden et al.,
2011). This paper presents a grounded theory of
the p... Read More about Constructivist grounded theory of distress management in cancer survivors..

Gatekeepers of Gerontological Research: A Pilot Study Investigating Factors Influencing Research Compliance (2012)
Journal Article
Bailey, K. A., Baker, J., Spassiani, N. A., & Meisner, B. A. (2012). Gatekeepers of Gerontological Research: A Pilot Study Investigating Factors Influencing Research Compliance. Research on Aging, 34(5), 499-506. https://doi.org/10.1177/0164027512444290

Gerontological studies note research noncompliance as a limitation of their results; however, few investigations focus on ways to minimize noncompliance.
Additionally, older adults’ research participation is often controlled by
other individuals su... Read More about Gatekeepers of Gerontological Research: A Pilot Study Investigating Factors Influencing Research Compliance.

Journal Article
Bond, R., Finlay, D., Nugent, C., Breen, C., Guldenring, D., & Daly, M. (2012). The effects of electrode misplacement on clinicians’ interpretation of the standard 12-lead electrocardiogram. European Journal of Internal Medicine, 23(7), 610-615. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ejim.2012.03.011

Introduction
This study investigates how a particular incorrect electrode configuration affects the 12-lead Electrocardiogram (ECG).

Methods
A correct and an incorrect 12-lead ECG were extracted from a 192-lead BSPM. This was done for 232 BSPMs... Read More about The effects of electrode misplacement on clinicians’ interpretation of the standard 12-lead electrocardiogram.
