2010 Project Consultant, “MEET THE BEATIES: A MULTIMEDIA ENTERTAINMENT-
EDUCATION SERIES AND ONLINE COMMUNITY TO PROMOTE TREATMENT
ADHERENCE AMONG DIABETIC CHILDREN AND TEENS,” A Concept Paper by
Renee Hobbs and David Cooper Moore, Temple University School of Communications
& Theater. Overview: We seek grant funding to support phase 1 research associated with the
development of an online multimedia education program designed to help type 1 and type 2 diabetic children ages 9 to 14 better manage their disease. Working in an interdisciplinary context with experts in communication, pediatric nursing, public health and medicine, we will develop a theoretical model that specifies why online multimedia education programs may improve treatment adherence, conduct formative research to understand the specific emotional and social needs of children and young teens who are diagnosed with diabetes, and develop collaborative relationships with leading researchers in pediatric psychology who specialize in research on adherence and its relationship to psychosocial dimensions of treatment for diabetic youth. Then, working with a team of musicians, animators and online software developers, we will create an online multimedia program consisting of short animated music programs embedded in an online community. Finally, we will conduct a small controlled experiment to measure the impact of participating in the program on children’s adherence to treatment, self-concept, quality of family communication and other variables associated with socioemotional control in children and teens. In phase 2, extramural funding will enable us to develop the complete multimedia project.
2009, Spring Semester: Dickey, S.B., Finestone, A.J. & Mahoney, K.R. (Grant proposal
meetings). Health Professional Perceptions of Roles as Influencers of End of Life
Decisions. We began working together on REDRAFTING this proposal, which was
submitted to National Institute for Nursing Research (NINR) in 2007 by Dr. Finestone, who
is Emeritus Dean of Continuing Medical Education in the TU School of Medicine. NOTE:
Although we worked together earnestly and in good faith, with Dr. Finestone’s good
assistance, the proposal did not come to fruition.

From Dr. Dominique Kliger:
Distance Learning Program new
Student Webinar Series initiative.
I really appreciate reviewing the sessions created by you and found the topics addressed to be very
interesting.
I'm sorry that it took us a while to add your videos to our web site, but we wanted to make sure we had
transcripts for all videos (Genomics video will have transcripts uploaded by next week).
I'm listing below the URL created for the webinars and would like to invite you to also share this URL with
your students or add it to your web sites too.
http://www.temple.edu/distanceandsummer/studentseminarseries.html
We aim to continue to upload new webinar sessions to this site on a monthly basis, so if you have new ideas
and would like to contribute to this project again, please do not hesitate to contact me or Carly about it.
Thank you again :-) !

She was awarded funding for the project from the Nurse Practitioner Healthcare
Foundation/Sanofi Pasteur “Health Through Immunization” Award in 2010, and extended for
completion after the student completed her MSN and passed her CRNP certifying exam. This
award was issued on the basis of gathering information and presenting it in the form of a

Project was not completed due to lack of time for recipient to carry out the data collection and
analysis, so she never realized her funding.

Consultant to Master’s Theses & Projects; Master Level Independent Studies
Spring, 2010 Project Advisor for Anthony George Giannoumis, MPH student, for
CHPSW Research Symposium, entitled, “Providing a Global Perspective to Nursing Students.”
This project was initiated during Summer Session 1, 2009, when Mr. Giannoumis was a student
in N-5555, “Health Policy for Diverse Communities.”
The purpose of this project is to persuade the two accrediting bodies for nursing
education in the United States to incorporate curricular innovations that include content
and process educational standards for nursing care of international persons. The current
nursing education standards provided by the National League for Nursing Accreditation
C.V. - Susan B. Dickey, PhD, RN page 18
Commission (NLNAC) and the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE)
have limited or no recommendations for curricular provisions related to international
nursing. A review of evidenced based research on institutions providing such coursework
in nursing education shows positive benefits to practice, professional scope, and future
policy involvement. Such work indicates that the NLNAC and CCNE include specific
provisions requiring schools of nursing to demonstrate that their curricula meet standards
of inclusion of international nursing components for diverse populations. By
implementing such standards, schools of nursing may choose to leverage the existing
infrastructure, utilize opportunities for interdepartmental collaboration, or incorporate
additional recommended coursework and demonstration of proficiencies as requirements
for meeting terminal curricular objectives. Please view a presentation of this report at
http://www.vimeo.com/6927280.
Spring, 2010-2012 Laurie Tillery-Russell, (MSN Program) was awarded the 2010-2012
Nurse Practitioner Healthcare Foundation/Sanofi-Pasteur "Health Through Immunization"
award. This award was issued on the basis of gathering information and presenting it in the
form of a poster. This project will need to be completed within 2 yrs. The targeted audience
will be health care professionals. She will have the opportunity to present the poster
nationally with the possibility of it becoming publishing, and has asked me to be her faculty
advisor for this project.
