The prevalence of HTN in African-Americans is considered to be among the highest in the world. This investigation sought to determine whether a church-based self-management program would aid African-American adults (18 years of age and above) in reducing their blood pressure (BP). The theoretical foundation was the Health Belief Model. The clinical question was: Will a church-based American Heart Association (AHA) program on BP self-management decrease BP in African-American adults (aged 18 and above) who belong to a local Christian church? The quantitative methodology and pretest-posttest single group design were used in this investigation. The sample was a convenience sampling of 23 Christian church members. The participants enrolled in the AHA's \"Check. Change. Control®. Tracker.\" There were only two demographic variables that were significant at the 0.05 level (2-tailed) with the initial BP: age was 0.585 (p = 0.05) and having children was -0.434 (p = 0.039). The paired t-test was computed for the initial and final systolic BPs. The paired t-test for these variables was 1.844 (p = 0.079). The paired t-test was computed for the initial and final diastolic BPs. The paired t-test for these variables was 1.724 (p = 0.079). These results indicated there were no improvements after the intervention. However, data supported clinical significance.</p>","PeriodicalId":73847,"journal":{"name":"Journal of National Black Nurses' Association : JNBNA","volume":"29 1","pages":"6-12"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"36553866","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, according to recent findings, there may be another by-product of this man-made crisis. Failure to use anticorrosive material in the water, a practice mandated by the 1978 Clean Water Act, is being linked to an outbreak of Legionnaires' disease, an illness detrimental primarily to adults over 65 years of age. While Legionnaires' disease is relatively rare, it is also likely to remain undiagnosed. Clinicians, therefore, are urged to consider this diagnosis in adults with pneumonia that does not respond to typical antibiotic treatment, and in newborns with respiratory distress along with other non-typical symptoms as well as those who have had water births or who were exposed to ultrasonic, cool-mist humidification.</p>","PeriodicalId":73847,"journal":{"name":"Journal of National Black Nurses' Association : JNBNA","volume":"29 1","pages":"44-50"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"36553867","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This was a secondary data analysis of data collected from a 12-month lifestyle PA intervention conducted with 281 African-American women. Subjective perceived CVD risk was measured with two questions; CVD risks were examined via health assessment and self-questionnaire; and objective estimated CVD risk was calculated using the Framingham Risk score. Despite having several objective risk factors for CVD development, most participants perceived their CVD risk as low, and their Framingham scores were low.

Extant research reveals African-American students also participate at lower rates than other racial groups on college and university surveys. Students in medical and health professions programs are routinely surveyed to investigate students' perspectives about the educational curriculum, social and cultural environment, quality of faculty and resources, etc. The results attained from these assessments often carry some of the greatest weight in guiding educational curricula, programs, and policy. Thus, perhaps nowhere is there greater opportunity for African-American students to effect change than educational program assessments, where results will affect not only current and future students, but may also help improve professional development opportunities to address health disparities among minority populations.

Findings were consistent with the existing literature about compliance with PERS, that is wearing and using the device.
