Understanding Nursing Backwards
BACKGROUND: Becoming a profession, attaining professionalism, and transmitting a professional identity have been ongoing projects within nursing since the 1860s. To gain an understanding of nursing's attention on these three processes, the authors examined them from the context of self-regulation, a key hallmark of professionalism. METHOD: Historical understandings of self-regulatory processes associated with nursing organizational representation…
"It Is Not Just Diabetes"
In this article, we examine cultural capital within the contexts of ethnography, community-based participatory research (CBPR), and holism. Because many chronic diseases such as cancer and diabetes are influenced by lifestyle choices in which culture plays a central role regarding perceptions of illness and health, it is important to understand how patients and their communities perceive these cultural factors. We outline how CBPR can be used as …

Traditionality and Cancer Screening Practices Among American Indian Women in Vermont
The study purpose was to examine the relationship between cancer screening and traditionality, using a culturally specific survey instrument. American Indian (AI) women were randomly selected from the Vermont Breast Cancer Surveillance System (VBCSS), a statewide mammography database. The 13 items that assessed traditionality examined identity, cultural beliefs, customs, and health practices. The sample of 115 was predominately married, educated,…
Taking Care of Self
In this article, I report a component of a qualitative grounded theory study on health care decision making of American Indian women (AIW) residing in the Northeastern United States. Analysis was based upon data collected from 20 women who self-identified as American Indian. Taking care of self was a primary factor influencing health care decisions among this sample of AIW. As women moved between their Native, traditional health practices and con…
Creating a Mentoring Partnership Model
The purpose of this project was to increase the number of students participating in public health nursing experiences at Vermont Department of Health through creation of a mentoring partnership model. The model targeted preceptor needs, including roles and responsibilities when working with students; educational needs of faculty, particularly related to evolving roles of public health nurses; and creation of additional clinical opportunities for …
Moving in Between Mammography
Breast cancer is a leading cause of cancer death among American Indian women, with mammography screening rates below the national average for this population. A grounded theory study, conducted with Vermont American Indian women, explicated factors that influence mammography decision making. The authors examined mammography decision making across the breast cancer screening continuum: women with a history of consistent annual mammograms, women wh…
Surviving Breast Cancer
Early detection and efficacious treatment have prolonged the lives of women diagnosed with breast cancer. Although many of these women have survived more than 5 years, there is minimal knowledge of their use of complementary and alternative medical (CAM) treatments. A qualitative focus group study was conducted with 66 breast cancer survivors, ranging in age from 32 to 85 years, with time since diagnosis 2 to 28 years. This article will discuss s…
Taking Charge of Self
The purpose of this grounded theory study was to explore breast health practices of older Vermont women residing in rural communities. Although the three components of breast health-mammography, clinical breast exam, and self-breast exam-are recommended for women 40 years and over, minimal research has empirically analyzed the breast health practices of healthy women to ascertain if, in fact, these procedures are followed, and if so, what the mot…
