Responding to Implicit Bias

Unconscious bias can have harmful effects on both patients and healthcare providers. Earlier research studied the recognition and management of unconscious bias education for health professional students. These studies fall short examining skill-based practice with a focus on nursing students. In light of this gap, this study aims to increase nursing student confidence in addressing implicit bias in healthcare, by providing students with strategies and trainee practice.

Assessing the use of Qualitative Data Analysis Software (QDAS) by Art Historians and Archaeologists

This study explores how common the use of Qualitative Data Analysis software (QDAS) is among two kinds of object-based researchers: art historians and archaeologists. Surveys disseminated in a snowball fashion contained open and closed questions, which sought to give participants a platform to describe if, why, and how they use programs like Atlas.ti, NVivo, Dedoose, and MAXQDA throughout their research process. The anonymized responses may help professionals in academic librarianship and visual resources management assess whether their institution should invest in access and instruction surrounding QDAS for patrons in these disciplines.
