The following questions are from the published research article: Segre, L. et al. (2014). Depression and Anxiety Symptoms in Mothers of Newborns Hospitalized on the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, Nursing Research, 63(5), 320-332.

In the overall results of this study (the clinical significance), what did the researchers find that explained 37% of the variance in negative emotionality n NICU mothers? If you were a nurse working in NICU, how could this help guide your practice?

Expert Solution

All factors in above model together accounted for 37% of the variance in negative emotionality in NICU mothers

Notwithstanding methodological limitations, the significant risk factors identified in this study—history of perinatal depression, greater infant prematurity and infant health complications—are not only clinically intuitive, they explained 37% of the variance in negative emotionality in NICU mothers.

In line with the principles of family-centered care (Gooding et al., 2011), NICU nurses are ideally situated to identify emotionally at-risk NICU mothers (Beck, 2003). The substantial association of negative emotionality to the three identified risk factors empirically bolsters the idea that they should be used early to identify NICU mothers with clinically significant symptoms. At a minimum level of screening, women with these risk factors should be further assessed.

In line with the conclusion that “depression is not necessarily the first or most important symptom of mothers suffering from postpartum depression,” (C. T. Beck & Indman, 2005, p. 570), the results support a multidimensional conceptualization of aversive emotional states that is consistent with the common-factor model. Translated into clinical practice, this result suggests screening should assess symptoms of both depression and anxiety disorders.

Questions for an Ecology assignment. These questions are based on the article: Barbosa, Pedro, et al. "Associational resistance and associational susceptibility: having right or wrong neighbors." Annual review of ecology, evolution, and systematics 40 (2009): 1-20. 1. Describe an example the authors provided for a way that competition with a neighboring plant can alter its susceptibility to herbivores. Can you think of another instance in which competition between focal plants and neighbor plants might lead to either associational resistance (AR)...

This is a summary from Physics World of the paper: L J Wang et al. 2000 Nature 406 277-- "Wang and colleagues begin by using a third continuous-wave laser to confirm that there are two peaks in the gain spectrum and that the refractive index does indeed change rapidly with wavelength in between. Next they send a 3.7-microsecond long laser pulse into the caesium cell, which is 6 centimetres long, and show that, at the correct wavelength, it emerges from...

In 2002, Trask et al. published a study showing that a high frequency of HIV transmissions in Lusaka, Zambia occurred between marriage partners. Specifically, they studied a cohort of married couples where, at the beginning of the study, one partner was infected and the other was not. Later, the uninfected partner became infected. If you were doing this study, how could you use phylogenetic methods to determine whether the newly infected individual was likely infected by his/her partner? Briefly describe...

A study published in 2009 (Goldstein et al, 2009) asked a random selection of 499 adults from various regions in Israel to complete a survey about whether or not they read while using the toilet. The researchers conducted a test of Ho: pi = 0.5 versus Ha: pi ≠ 0.5 where pi is the proportion of adults who read while using the toilet. Use a theory-based method to find the rejection region of the test using a significance level of...

In the paper by Cuervo et al, explain a) why it was important, from the perspective of being able to demonstrate the influence of sexual selection, that the authors followed up on their original (1996) study; and b) why, if they were attempting to demonstrate that sexual selection was acting to lengthen male tail length, they studied females and not males.
