A Caregiving Intervention for
Rural African Americans
This Mentored Scientist Career Development Award will
provide the candidate with the skills and knowledge necessary to establish an
independent program of research in the area of culturally specific caregiving
interventions. In conjunction with
relevant career training, I plan to obtain ethnographic data (Phase 1) that
will guide development and pilot testing of a contextually and culturally
relevant tailored intervention (Phase 2) to assist rural African American
families in planning for, coping with, and adapting to caregiving transitions
that result from episodic or emergent health events.

Managing Uncertainty in Older Breast
Cancer Survivors
The study will test a new nursing
intervention (the Survivor Management Intervention [S-UMI] based on an
intervention found successful in managing uncertainty in older women receiving
treatment for breast cancer. The S-UMI
teaches women cognitive coping strategies to manage anxiety from uncertainty
about cancer recurrence and provides them with self-care methods to manage
uncertainty about long-term side effects from treatment.

Managing Uncertainty in Advanced
Prostate Cancer
The study was built on findings from
a current study documenting the success of an uncertainty management
intervention with older white and minority men with localized prostate
cancer. Given findings about the
effectiveness of the intervention, the proposed investigation determined the
usefulness of the intervention when applied to a more complex illness found in
men with advanced prostate cancer where the disease has metastasized,
treatments have severe side effects, and the disease is no curable.

Preventing/Managing
Chronic Illness in Vulnerable People
The
major goals of this Center for Research on Preventing and Managing Chronic
Illness are 1) to develop a cadre of investigators, including minority
investigators, interested in research on chronic illness; 2) to support ongoing
research and initiate multidisciplinary studies of a variety of chronic
illnesses and conditions in vulnerable individuals, families, and groups; and
3) to develop a framework for understanding the common and unique processes
involved in both preventing and managing different chronic illnesses and
conditions.
