Restor(y)ing health: a conceptual model of the effects of digital storytelling Fiddian-Green A, Kim S, Gubrium AC, Larkey LK, Peterson JC. Health Promotion Practice. Digital storytelling (DST) is an innovative and engaging method increasingly used in applied health interventions, with a growing body of research identifying its value. This article defines DST as a distinct narrative intervention, illustrates key elements that inform the methodology, and presents a conceptual model to examine how DST may contribute to increased socioemotional well-being and bolster positive health outcomes.

Cancer treatment poses significant challenges not just for those diagnosed with the disease but also for their intimate partners. Using the systemic-transactional model of dyadic coping as a framework, this article examined intra- and inter-personal associations between communication (both enacted and perceived) and relationship satisfaction among patients with stage II-IV breast or colorectal cancer and their spouses.

Knowledge and attitudes towards breastfeeding practices: a cross-sectional survey of postnatal mothers in China Hamze L, Mao J, Reifsnider E. Midwifery.
This article investigates young women’s engagement in and receipt of condom use resistance (attempts to avoid condom use with a partner who wants to use one; CUR), including nonconsensual condom removal (“stealthing”), with male partners. Participants completed measures assessing sexual victimization history and CUR experiences. Findings demonstrate that sexual victimization and both the use and receipt of CUR are positively related for young women. Read more.
This article examines the mothers’ knowledge and attitudes toward breastfeeding and highlights barriers to exclusive breastfeeding in Chinese postpartum mothers. The results of this study are applicable to nurses and nurse midwives to assist in identification of women who may be at-risk to not initiate breastfeeding. Maternal positive attitude and good knowledge play key roles in the process of breastfeeding. Read more.

Lessons learned from SAGE” at the 15th annual International Congress of Behavioral Medicine, November 2018, in Santiago, Chile. Dr. Erica Soltero, a postdoctoral fellow mentored by Dr. Gabriel Shaibi, was selected by the editors of Obesity as a winner of the ObesityWeek-6th Annual Obesity Journal Symposium for her innovative paper titled “Effects of a Community-Based Diabetes Prevention Program for Latino Youth with Obesity: A Randomized Controlled Trial.” This award recognizes the top five submitted papers which were featured in a special section of the December 2018 issue. Dr. Soltero was also selected to attend a University of South Carolina fellowship course, titled “Postgraduate Course on Research Directions & Strategies,” aimed to further develop research skills related to physical activity and public health. This annual Physical Activity & Public Health (PAPH) training aims to improve public health by increasing the number of researchers and practitioners in the field with expertise in the relationship between physical activity and health in communities.

¡Viva Maryvale! is another effort to address a community need. Obesity and related chronic illnesses such as diabetes are growing concern for the mostly Latino Maryvale population. Researchers from ASU’s College of Nursing and Health Innovation teamed up with the Maryvale YMCA and local health providers to make family wellness a reality. Led by ASU professor and Southwest Borderlands Scholar Gabe Shaibi, this partnership will soon release results from its work, which incentivizes families in Maryvale to participate by providing free one-year YMCA passes. Shaibi, and those involved in ¡Viva Maryvale!, attribute their success to community participation and leadership and to rapidly responding and altering approaches based on what works and what doesn’t work.

Engaging and connecting “When I started investigating whether this was the right program for me, the Fulbright counselors told me that it was very competitive for a first-time award (the Core Scholars Award), but practically unheard of for people to receive a second award, and never to the same country. I decided to go for it anyway, and I was really just agog that I received it a second time,” Lee said.

“I really wanted to look at the intersection between sexual health and violence,” said Kelly Davis, an associate professor in the College of Nursing and Health Innovation who was the principal author on the study. “Situations that started as consensual might turn non-consensual during sex.” The importance and definition of consent has become part a national conversation about about the pervasiveness of sexual misconduct in America politics, business, culture and society, including on college campuses.
