How Caregivers are Part of the NICU Team

In the business world, we know that having a team that goes through various stages of teamwork makes them more successful and productive. In the healthcare setting, we have provider teams that do the same. In the neonatal intensive care unit, the parents or caregivers are an important team member, yet we are unsure if they go through these "teaming" stages. Our study will see if parents are moving through the stages of teaming in a predictable way, or if they are getting stuck and why.

Impact of Intermediary Feedback on Eye-tracking

People who are unable to use speech to meet their communication needs often use augmentative and alternative communication technology systems. Though many access their systems by directly touching a screen or keyboard, others with significant physical disabilities use alternate access methods. An increasingly common access method is the use of eye-tracking technologies (Fager et al., 2012), where cameras on the front of a device record where a user is looking in order to move and make selections with the on-screen mouse. This method requires users to look at the screen to move the cursor, and then to sustain their gaze on their selection for a pre-determined amount of times (i.e., dwell). The purpose of the study is to understand the impact of different types of visual feedback used to illustrate whereto cursor is on a screen on people's ability to navigate the screen with their eyes.

What is an adult?

Traditionally, someone is said to be an adult when they have met certain milestones like moving out of their parents' household, finishing education, beginning full-time work, marrying, and having children. But these milestones are harder to achieve nowadays, and some people might not even aspire to achieve them. Even more, we don't know much about how people in non-Western settings feel about these definitions of adulthood. While marriage is usually still a culturally important milestone, it is becoming delayed and harder to achieve. In my research, I want to find out how young people who just got married/will soon marry understand "adulthood." I focus Jakarta, Indonesia, the second largest city in the world, where tough economic times and a globalized culture meets strong traditions and religious values.

Registry for Adults with Lymphoma

The purpose of this research study is to create a Lymphoma Registry of patients who are willing to complete the study's comprehensive assessment. The assessment is designed to gather information on memory, nutritional status, mental health, and level social support. It is also designed to understand how well you carry out your day to day activities and to briefly describe what other medical conditions you may have. This assessment will help your health care team determine your "functional age" (the age you function at) as compared to how many years old you are. We will also ask you to complete questionnaires that ask questions about your personal health history, such as exercise and smoking,
