April 2— Nursing faculty publishes study in nursing journal
Edna Esquer, an assistant clinical professor at the Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing at UC Davis published “The Association of Chronic Stress and Metabolic Syndrome in Mexican American Women Living in a Rural Community along the US-Mexico Border” in the Open Journal of Nursing. The study seeks to describe the differences and associations in chronic stress, social support, health behavior and the presence of metabolic syndrome in Mexican American women living in a rural community along the California U.S.-Mexico border. She concluded that early recognition of cardiometabolic risks and improving health behaviors are essential to avoid adverse health consequences for these women. Edna is a family nurse practitioner who teaches in the Doctor of Nursing Practice — Family Nurse Practitioner Degree Program. She has cared for the medically disadvantaged populations of the California US-Mexican Border for more than two decades.
