    In:  Policy, Politics, & Nursing Practice Vol. 3, No. 4 ( 2002-11), p. 348-357

    Abstract: Health care organizations in most of the Western world are struggling with a shortage of nurses. An aging population with greater health care needs, a graying profession, declining nursing school enrollments, and more career choices for women all contribute to the shortage. The extent of the Canadian registered nursing shortage is predicted to reach between 60,000 and 112,000 by 2011. Through this policy analysis, it is shown how a number of factors conspired to create the current nursing shortage in Alberta. Through the analysis of qualitative interviews with key stakeholders, five themes are identified as factors causing this shortage. These themes are national and provincial political contexts during the 1990s, increased need for nurses, lack of timely information, nurses’ political inexperience, and a loss of institutional nursing leadership. Recommendations to address the crisis are also presented.

    Beyond Experience

    Details
    In: Cultural Studies ↔ Critical Methodologies, SAGE Publications, Vol. 9, No. 5 ( 2009-10), p. 636-646
    Abstract: In response to the essays by Brower, Adams, and Jones in this volume, this essay argues against the ocular-empiricism of eyewitness by which sight authenticates experience and experience authenticates the seeing-self. The logics that tie experiential fundamentalism to identity politics are inherently faulty and potentially regressive. They lock the “I” in a representational chain connecting that‘s what I saw; that‘s what happened; that‘s how things are; that‘s my/the story; that‘s who I am. Following Scott, the essay favors a critical/creative approach that immerses “experience“ in political intervention and self-making.

    Behavioral Disturbances of Dementia
    SAGE Publications ; 1998
    In:  Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry and Neurology Vol. 11, No. 4 ( 1998-12), p. 206-212
    Details
    In: Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry and Neurology, SAGE Publications, Vol. 11, No. 4 ( 1998-12), p. 206-212
    Abstract: Behavioral disturbances are common in patients with dementia. Medical intervention is needed if, for example, these behaviors threaten a patient's safety or jeopardize his or her ability to perform activities of daily living. Typical antipsychotic agents are associated with troublesome adverse effects in the elderly (e.g., anticholinergic effects, extrapyramidal symptoms). Atypical antipsychotics have reduced potential to cause these types of side effects but are not free from side effects. Recently, there has been a greater focus on the use of antidepressants to treat behavioral disturbances in dementia. Among these, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors have been studied more commonly due to their safety profile in the elderly. Citalopram, in particular, has demonstrated efficacy in improving dementia-related behavioral symptoms.

    •1-Acid Glycoprotein in Late-Life Depression: Relationship to Medical Burden and Genetics
    SAGE Publications ; 2003
    In:  Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry and Neurology Vol. 16, No. 4 ( 2003-12), p. 235-239
    Details
    In: Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry and Neurology, SAGE Publications, Vol. 16, No. 4 ( 2003-12), p. 235-239
    Abstract: Serum •1-acid glycoprotein (AAG) concentrations were examined in relationship to age, medical burden, depression, and mental status in elderly control (n = 19, mean age = 72.1 ± 6.8 years) and depressed (n = 58, mean age = 71.9 ± 7.1 years) subjects. DNA was analyzed for allelic variants of the AGP1 (ORM1) gene in both groups. Depressed subjects’ AAG serum levels were measured at baseline and after 6 weeks of antidepressant treatment. Before treatment, depressed subjects had significantly higher serum AAG concentrations than nondepressed controls ( t49.2 = –3.48, P= .0011). Pretreatment AAG levels also correlated with degree of medical burden, measured by the Cumulative Illness Rating Scale–Geriatrics ( r= 0.28, P= .0303), but not with age, depression severity, or cognitive scores. There was no significant difference between responders and nonresponders on changes in AAG levels from baseline to week 6. Frequency differences in ORM1 allelic variants apparently did not influence increased AAG concentrations in depressed patients.

    Risperidone and 9-Hydroxyrisperidone Concentrations Are Not Dependent on Age or Creatinine Clearance among Elderly Subjects
    SAGE Publications ; 2002
    In:  Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry and Neurology Vol. 15, No. 2 ( 2002-06), p. 77-81
    Details
    In: Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry and Neurology, SAGE Publications, Vol. 15, No. 2 ( 2002-06), p. 77-81
    Abstract: Risperidone is extensively metabolized to an active metabolite, 9-hydroxyrisperidone (9-OH), which is dependent on renal clearance. Risperidone and 9-OH clearances are reduced in the elderly when compared to young subjects. The objective of this study was to determine whether among elderly subjects, risperidone and 9-OH clearance would further decline with increasing age and decreasing creatinine clearance (CrCl). Twenty geriatric inpatients were evaluated in a naturalistic setting with regard to total daily risperidone dose and dosing interval. Creatinine clear ance was determined using an 8-hour urine collection. Risperidone and 9-OH concentrations were determined by radioimmunoassay. Spearman's correlation coefficients were used to examine the impact of age and CrCl on con centrations of risperidone, 9-OH, their sum, and the quotient of 9-OH/risperidone. Mean age was 76.4 ± 9 years (range 56-91). Mean CrCl was 55.4 ± 32.8 mL/min/1.73 m 2 (range 17-142 mL/min/1.73 m 2 ). Mean risperidone daily dose was 1.3 ± 0.7 mg. Steady-state risperidone and 9-OH concentrations were 4.1 ± 5.3 ng/mL and 9.1 ± 6.2 ng/mL, respectively. Mean 9-OH/risperidone was 6.2 ± 6.1. Concentrations of risperidone, 9-OH, their sum, and 9-OH/risperi done were not significantly correlated with age or CrCl. These results were unchanged when concentrations were corrected for total daily risperidone dose. Among elderly subjects, risperidone and 9-OH clearance do not decline with increasing age or declining CrCl. (J Geriatr Psychiatry Neurol 2002; 15:77-81).

    Fluvoxamine Pharmacotherapy of Anxiety Disorders in Later Life: Preliminary Open-Trial Data
    SAGE Publications ; 2000
    In:  Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry and Neurology Vol. 13, No. 1 ( 2000-04), p. 43-48
    Details
    In: Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry and Neurology, SAGE Publications, Vol. 13, No. 1 ( 2000-04), p. 43-48
    Abstract: The authors present data from an open trial of fluvoxamine (median daily dosage: 200 mg) in the treatment of generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder in 19 older outpatients (mean age = 66.8). Of the 12 subjects completing the 21-week trial, 8 achieved a good response (50% reduction in symptom measures) and 7 were rated as much or very much improved. Fluvoxamine pharmacotherapy also had a significant effect in reducing comorbid depressive symptoms and in increasing levels of functioning. These data support the effectiveness of fluvoxamine in older subjects with anxiety disorders (particularly generalized anxiety disorder) and warrant further double-blind, placebo-controlled evaluation. ( J Geriatr Psychiatry Neurol 2000; 13:43—48).

    Keeping on Keeping On: OCR and Complaints of Racial Discrimination 50 Years after Brown

    In: Teachers College Record: The Voice of Scholarship in Education, SAGE Publications, Vol. 107, No. 9 ( 2005-09), p. 2106-2140
    Abstract: This article, written by a former civil rights investigator in the U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights (OCR), contends that ordinary Americans advocating for equal educational opportunity for students of color might enlist OCR more actively and knowingly to help secure racial equality of opportunity 50 years after Brown. Now a scholar of racial inequality in education, the author shows that OCR's original purpose of rooting out racial discrimination in federally funded educational programs has been both hampered by hostile administrations and eclipsed by nonrace casework in the years since OCR's inception. The author argues that to successfully enlist OCR's civil rights tools today, complainants must arrive at OCR with as much concrete evidence of racial harm as possible and be ready to navigate some core disputes over defining and investigating racial discrimination in the current era.

    “But What Can I Do?”: Three Necessary Tensions in Teaching Teachers About Race
    SAGE Publications ; 2010
    In:  Journal of Teacher Education Vol. 61, No. 3 ( 2010-05), p. 211-224

    Abstract: A core question of teacher education—“What can I do?”—plagues courses on race in particular ways. Teachers struggle for “concrete” applications of “theoretical” ideas about race, question the potential for “everyday” activity to dismantle inequality “structures,” and wrestle with the need for both professional and personal development on racial issues. In this article, we discuss how these three core tensions surfaced in one race-oriented teacher education course. We demonstrate that the teachers who seemed most invigorated and who expressed feelings of efficacy in serving students of color were those who pledged to continue ongoing inquiry into both sides of each tension. We propose that these three tensions require explicit attention in teacher professional development. Indeed, we suggest that to create inquisitive and efficacious teachers, teacher educators can encourage teachers to keep all three tensions in play for the duration of their careers.
