Understanding the “circle of support” for caregivers of adults with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias following a hospice live discharge
Hospice patients with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) are more likely to experience a live discharge. This places increased burden on primary caregivers who may be unprepared for this transition and are more likely to be socially isolated. This study explored primary caregivers' "Circle of Support" (CoS) and how social context influences service utilization patterns, perceived support, and experiences of care transitions followin…
Experiences of Pregnant and Parenting Female Students in Social Work Doctoral Programs
Women in many fields have described challenges during their doctoral work due to pregnancy and parenting, but no research has explored these issues within social work education. This cross-sectional survey describes pregnant and parenting female students’ (N=75) experiences in social work doctoral education. Participants identified challenges in finding balance between family and academic responsibilities, a lack of supports and resources for pre…
Retaining Respect as a Scholar While Pregnant
Using Acker's theory of gendered organizations, this study explored the experiences of pregnant doctoral students, the organizational processes that influenced their experiences, and the ways students perceived pregnancy impacting career development and trajectory, if at all. Using a mixed methods survey of women who were pregnant during their doctoral program (n = 733), the study found that 52% of participants reported that being pregnant as a d…
Infertility and Pregnancy Loss in Doctoral Education
Women enter doctoral programs at higher numbers than ever before, earning half the doctoral degrees in the United States. Some women doctoral students experience pregnancy and parenthood during their studies. As infertility and pregnancy loss are common occurrences, likely many women doctoral students encountered these reproductive challenges as well. This research study ( N = 328) explores the experiences of women doctoral students who experienc…
Grief and Loss During Care Transitions
Direct Care Workers (DCW) provide both personal care to patients and emotional support to patients and caregivers in hospice and palliative care. DCWs often develop close ties and are then expected to work with new clients immediately following a care transition, with little or no time to grieve. A qualitative pilot study (n = 24) was conducted to explore the experience of DCWs during care transitions. Data was collected via focus groups and indi…
Grief During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Making it Work
While doctoral education is growing in the United States, attrition from doctoral programs is high; 40-60% of students who begin doctoral programs do not complete them. Previous research has explored reasons for attrition, but little research has examined persistence, and none have looked at persistence for women during and after pregnancy. This qualitative study explored female doctoral students and graduates' (n=28) attributions of persistence …
Mentorship in Doctoral Education for Pregnant and Newly Parenting Doctoral Students
Mentorship is an important component of doctoral program success, providing socialization to the profession and academia, professional development, and psychosocial support. For women in particular, mentoring increases feelings of preparedness, self-esteem, and rates of program completion. Within a gendered institution like academia, which does not support work-life balance, women who experience pregnancy and become parents during their doctoral …
Skype in Qualitative Interviews
As Internet usage has increased, web-based technologies such as Skype and Face Time have become more common alternatives for qualitative interviewing, especially for research participants who are geographically distant from the researchers. Challenges to the use of these tools have been identified, but as technology is currently changing at a rapid pace, more recent research is needed to provide up-to-date information on the feasibility of web an…
Pregnancy, Motherhood, and Academic Career Goals
While more doctoral students are pregnant and/or parenting in their doctoral programs than previously, little research has focused on their experiences. This qualitative study ( N = 28) explored the experiences of female doctoral students who were pregnant during their doctoral program (in a health-care field) and their decision-making about careers postgraduation. This study examined participants’ perceptions of the implicit and explicit culture…
Lessons Learned for Successful Dissertation Completion From Social Work Doctoral Graduates
A dissertation demonstrates a doctoral candidate’s knowledge of a content area, mastery of research methodology, and readiness for future scholarship. Doctoral candidates, social work programs, and the profession as a whole are invested in ensuring that candidates successfully complete dissertations and enter academic, research, and leadership positions. This strengths-based study offers the wisdom of recent social work doctoral graduates (N = 19…
Understanding Sampling and Recruitment in Social Work Dissertation Research
The field of social work has increasingly focused on improving the quantity and rigor of its research. For many social work doctoral students, their first independent research experience begins with their dissertation, and yet, little is known about the factors that facilitate students' success during this process. Sample recruitment is one step where significant and unexpected challenges can occur. As social justice is the central value of the p…
The Power Dynamics of Supervision
Supervision is an activity filled with ethical dilemmas related to the power held by the supervisor, a power that should be exercised with care. This article explores some of these dilemmas through the analysis of supervision vignettes viewed from the perspective of social constructionism, in particular, from the insights of French philosopher Michel Foucault. It concludes with suggestions to exercise supervisory power ethically
