Exploration of Relationships Between Symptoms, Work Characteristics, and Quality of Life in Young Adult Hematologic Cancer Survivors

Fletcher, J., Ghazal, L. V., Merriman, J. D., Santacroce, S. J., Fletcher, J., Wright, F., & Dickson, V. V. V. (2022). (Vols. 11, Issues 5, pp. 530-534).
Abstract
Abstract
This study explores relationships between individual, microsystem (work) characteristics, and quality of life (QOL) among young adult (YA; ages 20-39 years at diagnosis) hematologic cancer survivors. Forty YAs who had completed cancer therapy within the past 5 years were recruited through social media and completed an online survey. Poorer QOL was associated with higher levels of depressive symptoms, fatigue, impaired cognitive function, and poorer work ability and financial health (all  

Factors associated with new nurses' career choice as advanced practice nurses: Implications for managing organizational turnover

Fletcher, J., Djukic, M., & Fletcher, J. (2022). (Vols. 63, p. 151541).
Abstract
Abstract
Staff nurse turnover is a costly problem for healthcare managers, which has been extensively studied. Now, managers are facing a new challenge attributed to nurses leaving their current positions to become advanced practice nurses. We aimed to identify factors associated with new nurses' career choice as advanced practice nurses.

Feasibility and Acceptability of the Adherence Connection Counseling, Education, and Support (ACCESS) Proof of Concept: A Peer-Led, Mobile Health (mHealth) Cognitive Behavioral Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) Adherence Intervention for HIV-Infected (HIV+) Adolescents and Young Adults (AYA)

Fletcher, J., Navarra, A.-M. D., Rosenberg, M. G., Gormley, M., Bakken, S., Fletcher, J., Whittemore, R., Gwadz, M., Cleland, C., & Melkus, G. D. (2022). (pp. 1-17).
Abstract
Abstract
Effective antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence strategies for HIV+ adolescents and young adults (AYA) are needed to prevent HIV-related morbidity, mortality, and onward transmission. In the Adherence Connection for Counseling, Education, and Support (ACCESS) pilot, an exploratory sequential mixed-methods design was used to develop and test a peer-led, mobile health (mHealth) cognitive behavioral ART adherence intervention. HIV+ AYA (ages 16-29 years) with unsuppressed plasma HIV RNA (HIV viral load) were eligible for this five-session intervention directed to improving ART adherence and HIV viral load. A total of 78 peer-led remote videoconferencing sessions (via WebEx) were delivered to 16 participants. High completion rates (97.5%) and client satisfaction scores (mean = 29.13 of 32; SD = 2.45) were observed. Self-reported ART adherence improved (32% increase in doses taken; 95th CI 11.2-53.3) with an annualized average rate of 47.5% (0.28 log) reduction in HIV viral load. We established proof of concept for the ACCESS peer-led, mHealth cognitive behavioral ART adherence intervention, with promising adherence and virologic outcome data.

Integrative Review of Methods from Youth Risk Behavior Survey Secondary Data Analyses Examining HIV Syndemic Factors Among Adolescent Gay and Bisexual Men

Fletcher, J., Garcia, D. R., Fletcher, J., Goldsamt, L., & Dunn Navarra, A.- M. (2022).
Abstract
Abstract
Adolescent gay/bisexual men exhibit the highest prevalence of undiagnosed HIV infections. Ascertaining antecedents of behaviorally acquired HIV infections among adolescent gay/bisexual men can be challenging; however, these challenges can be overcome through the utilization of secondary data, such as the Youth Risk Behavior Survey.
