Advance care planning among solo agers at risk of becoming unbefriended
Approximately 14 million ‘solo agers,’ referring to older adults who live in America without a spouse, partner, or children to help them through their aging process, have no one to turn to when their health fails. The lack of a trusted proxy to make decisions on their behalf creates serious challenges for decision-making during medical crises, underscoring the urgent need for advance care planning. Despite the large number of people at risk of be…
“Wind Therapy” Motorcycling by U.S. Veterans During Covid-19
Background: During the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns, U.S. Veterans struggling with posttraumatic stress found symptom relief outside traditional therapies through participation in therapeutic motorcycling (anecdotally known as “wind therapy”) in the form of solo and group participation. Purpose: We conducted an interpretative phenomenological analysis to explore and understand the healing aspects of “wind therapy” (i.e., therapeutic motorcycling) …

Factors Associated with Resilience among MSW Students in the Face of the Covid-19 Pandemic
COVID-19 continues to affect the general population, and its impact on MSW students is unknown. Therefore, this study aims to examine resilience, attachment, and other mental health constructs among MSW students during COVID-19. U.S. MSW program directors were emailed the electronic surveys to distribute to their MSW students. Authors evaluated the bivariate relationship between the variables and conducted a multiple hierarchical regression predi…
The Impact of Covid-19 on Veterans’ Resilience, Attachment, and Negative Affect
On March 13, 2020, the US issued an emergency declaration in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, necessitating increased domestic engagement of the military to mount the national public health response. The US military’s increased domestic health response to the COVID-19 pandemic, combined with the effects of its involvement in a 20-year war exacerbated by recent tensions around America’s exit from Afghanistan, has led to increased stress on our a…
Profile of informal rural Appalachian caregivers of patients with chronic illnesses
PURPOSE: Caring for a family member with chronic illness increases cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk by 82%, and rurality imparts additional CVD disparities. The purpose of this study was to describe a profile of rural caregivers of patients with chronic illnesses to determine the prevalence of CVD risk factors, and psychosocial and socioeconomic burden, as well as to compare these variables across gender. METHODS: Baseline data from a trial of C…
The impact of Covid-19 on first responders' resilience and attachment
COVID-19 continues to have a deleterious impact on vulnerable populations in our society, and unfortunately, first responders are often overlooked in this conversation. To address that gap, we retrospectively compared routinely collected baseline assessment data from 69 treatment-seeking first responders who presented for treatment before COVID-19 to data collected from 75 similar first responders at the same agency during the pandemic. Data asse…
Suicide in the Time of Covid‐19
In this commentary, we consider a convergence of suicide risk factors amid an international crisis and introduce a new approach in understanding and preventing suicidal behaviors. Our approach is a novel theoretical framework that can guide future research to include this added dimension. Suicide is a leading cause of death in the United States and Kentucky. In the United States, suicide rates have steadily risen over the past 2 decades by an est…
Improving Outcomes for At-Risk MSW Students
Much research exists to support the positive effects of mentorship programs on improving grades and retention rates for MSW students. With the rapid growth in online MSW programs, the need to provide mentorship in electronic formats is also increasing. This retrospective longitudinal study examines the impact of an electronically delivered (“e-mentorship”) program on MSW student success factors. Twenty MSW students at risk of program failure, mos…
The suicide of Private Danny Chen
Despite considerable prevention and intervention efforts, military suicide rates have increased. Although most research on active-duty military suicide has focused on combat exposure, evidence shows that bullying, hazing, and race are understudied risk factors for military suicide. According to the interpersonal theory of suicide, thwarted belongingness, perceived burdensomeness, and acquired capability are necessary components for enacting a sui…
Scoping Review
Researchers using online ethnographic methods to study military communities must employ higher standards of ethical practice. Military populations may face significant risk if reidentified in research. These requirements are especially salient for online data collection. This review questions how and to what extent military online ethnographers are addressing ethics considerations. We charted evidence from seven military studies using an online e…
Older Congolese Refugees’ Resettlement Challenges in the U.S
Older Congolese refugees face more challenges upon resettlement in the U. S. compared to younger refugees. We compared the convoy and bioecological models to explicate the challenges faced by older Congolese refugees during resettlement and integration in the U.S. Second, we created an integrated model that focuses on the importance of social relationships and situates this understanding within the broad bioecological perspective to illuminate ho…
Broadcasting War Trauma
This exploratory netnographic study is among the first to investigate military video blogs (milvlogs) posted by Iraq and Afghanistan veterans who self-published stories on military-related trauma to YouTube. Studies have shown that self-published milvlogs provide benefits such as education, social support, and self-management of chronic physical and psychological illness. The aim of this study was to explore combat veterans' milvlogs and to deter…
Advancing Doctoral Social Work Education
Graduates of social work doctoral programs are an integral part of social work education and, as faculty, training of BSW and MSW students. Missing from the literature are theoretical frameworks that advance the study of “what works and for whom” in social work doctoral education. Building upon the existing literature, this article proposes a conceptual framework for enhancing doctoral students’ experiences, as well as doctoral education programs…
Military suicide coverage
The authors evaluated how well Associated Press News Wire stories adhered to the Recommendations for Reporting on SuicideTM during 2012, a peak year of military suicide. They included individual suicide stories (N = 167) from randomly selected days. They also evaluated differences in the military versus civilian coverage. Military and civilian stories typically had about five negative practices, and less than one positive practice, with military …
