    (Elsevier, 2017-06) Burke Draucker, Claire; Martsolf, Donna S.; Crane, Stacey; Romero, Lindsey; Leigh McCord, Allison; School of Nursing
    This article describes how the Internet Intervention Model (IIM) was used as an organizing framework to design a theoretically based Internet intervention for emerging adults who experience troubled intimate partner relationships. In the design process, the team addressed six fundamental questions related to the several components of the IIM. Decisions made regarding the design of the intervention based on the six questions are described. We focus in particular on how the intervention is based on the Theory of Emerging Adulthood and the Theory of Narrative Identity.

    A feasibility test of an online intervention to prevention dating violence in emerging adults
    (Elsevier:, 2019-02) Burke Draucker, Claire; Martsolf, Donna S.; Crane, Stacey; McCord, Allison L.; Romero, Lindsey; Al-Khattab, Halima A.; School of Nursing
    Dating violence in emerging adults is a significant problem and few prevention programs based on the developmental needs of this age group have been developed. Our research team developed an online dating violence prevention program called WISER (Writing to Improve Self-in-Relationships) for emerging adults. The program is based on narrative therapy principles and uses structured writing techniques. A single group pre-post feasibility test of WISER was conducted with 14 college women. WISER was demonstrated to be feasible and acceptable and to show promise as an effective program to decrease dating violence in this population.

    Use of a Systematic Consultation Process to Facilitate Nursing Research Projects: An Exemplar
    (Wolters Kluwer, 2018) Tehan, Rebecca; Smith, Carolyn; Draucker, Claire; Martsolf, Donna S.; Psychiatry, School of Medicine
    PURPOSE/OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this article is to describe the use of a well-established, 5-stage consultation process, to advise a research team on planning strategies to engage domestic violence shelters (DVSs) as community partners in their study. The research team is testing a health promotion intervention for teens living in shelters with their parent and needed to enlist shelters as sites to recruit teens and conduct the intervention. Consultation aims were to (a) identify highly promising strategies described in peer-reviewed literature for identifying, recruiting, and collaborating with community organizations in research and (b) identify DVSs that would potentially serve as effective community partners for the study. METHODS: A clinical nurse specialist and a public health master's degree student led the consultation. The consultation process included (a) a systematic review of 29 peer-reviewed articles about research or program evaluation studies that engaged community partners and (b) a comprehensive online search of information about DVSs. OUTCOMES: Consultants identified 104 strategies used in studies to engage community partners and 10 specific DVSs most likely to effectively engage in the study. CONCLUSION: Clinical nurse specialists are well situated to provide consultation to research teams and should follow well-established consultation processes and systematic data collection procedures.
