The rise of social media has helped with connecting people across the globe, but these connections have come with concerns about social media’s impact on our health and wellbeing, particularly among children and teens. A recent survey conducted by Hart Research confirmed these concerns and was the focus of a discussion between HealthCetera producer and host Diana Mason, PhD, RN, and Joie Craig, PhD, Resident Senior Fellow at the Institute for Strategic Dialogue with a focus on Digital Integrity. This interview first aired on HealthCetera in the Catskills on WIOX Radio on July 5, 2023.

There’s lots of poverty in rural communities, including in the Catskill Region of New York State. The impact of poverty on the health and wellbeing of people and whole communities is often underestimated. But the evidence shows that poverty is associated with food insecurity and other factors that can dramatically affect health. Dr. Diana Mason, PhD, RN, talks with Dr. Laura Samuel, PhD, RN,  Assistant Professor at the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing, who has been researching the relationship between poverty and health. She was a co-author on a paper that came out earlier this year in JAMA on what’s called food insecurity and cognitive impairment in older adults.

What is palliative care? Why is it important? And how can someone who is not a nurse or health professional effectively advocate for their loved one, whether family or friend, when they are diagnosed with an advanced illness or facing dying? Robin Bennett Kanarek is a registered nurse who had her own experience with losing a son to a serious illness too early in his life and struggled with ensuring that he got the care he needed, when he needed it. She took the lessons she learned from that experience and has shared them in a book titled Living Well with a Serious Illness, a Guide to Palliative Care for Mind, Body, and Spirit, published by Johns Hopkins Press. HealthCetera in the Catskills host Diana J. Mason, PhD, RN, FAAN, talked with Ms. Kanarek about Diana’s own challenging experience with seeking palliative care for her husband and what readers can learn from Robin’s book.
