    The use of technology to facilitate education and the provision of an entire higher education degree has exploded in the last two decades. Social work educators have been a part of that trend and have started to utilize distance education (DE) technologies. There is a growing literature regarding the efficacy of DE instruction in social work, and scholars are actively developing best practices. However, there is little research in general to supp…

  • The Effects of Caregiving on Women's Self-Assessed Health Status: An International Comparison

    Pam Arnsberger, Una Lynch et al.ARTICLEHealth Care For Women International2012

    To compare the self-assessed health status (SAHS) of female caregivers of older adults across the United States (N = 1,496), China (N = 485), and the United Kingdom (N = 252), data from three data sets were analyzed to isolate significant predictors of SAHS using an adapted meta-analytic technique. Higher income and full-time employment were predictors of higher SAHS; chronic health condition and emotional strain predicted lower SAHS. Female gend…

This distinction was identifiable in interaction terms i…

    Meripa T Godinet, Pam Arnsberger et al.ARTICLEJournal of Public Child Welfare2010Cited by: 4References: 6

    This study examined factors related to the overrepresentation of Native Hawai'ian and Pacific Islander families in Hawai'i's child welfare system and the role of Ohana conferencing in mitigating negative outcomes once a child is in the system. Findings of this study showed that the child welfare system in Hawai'i seems to respond differentially based to some degree on the ethnicity of the family. Furthermore, Ohana conferencing was found to have …

    Pam Arnsberger, Nathan Chang Msw et al.ARTICLEAsia Pacific Journal of Social…2009References: 6

    This study compares the results of two surveys of informal caregivers conducted in California and Hawaii (N = 1677) to determine if there is a uniquely Asian model of caregiving. Differences between Asian and non-Asian caregivers were found in the percentage of male caregivers, the impact of caregiving personally and on the family, and on employment. Furthermore, in multivariate analysis, being of Asian origin retained significance in predicting …
