Increasing Paramedic Student\u27s Resiliency to Stress: Assessing Correlates and the Impact of Intervention
Get PDFThe daily occupational stressors that paramedics must deal with, place these individuals at higher risk for physiological distress and burnout than the general population. Recently, attention has been focused on trying to identify the correlates of occupational stress. A review of the literature indicated that peer support, attitude towards emotional expression, and ways of coping may be predictive of psychological distress and burnout symptoms among this group of professionals. The current pilot study focused on paramedic students in the final year of their college program. Using a pre-test, post-test design, including a treatment and control group, this study sought to determine whether perceived peer support, negative attitude towards emotional expression, and specific coping processes, would be significantly predictive of levels of self-reported psychological distress and burnout symptomology. Further, a 13-session psychoeducational counselling group intervention was used with the treatment group, to determine if this intervention might be helpful in encouraging significant positive changes in the tress areas of interest, which might then be related to a corresponding reduction in psychological distress and burnout symptoms. While peer support was not found to be significantly correlated to psychological distress and burnout symptomology, both negative attitude toward emotional expression and specific coping processes were. Other interesting trends emerged in that between-group comparison indicated greater improvement among individuals in the treatment group, as compared to the control group, with respect to: attitude toward emotional expression’ two types of coping processes (i.e., Planful Problem Solving, Positive Reappraisal); and Personal Accomplishment scores (which contribute to lower burnout). Additionally, while the two groups did not differ significantly in terms of the changes demonstrated on the 7 individual variables used to measure psychological distress and the 3 variables assessing burnout, the treatment group did demonstrate greater improvement than the control group on 10/10 of these variables which in itself is significant. This pilot study underscores the need for additional studies to verify and investigate the correlates of occupational stress among paramedics, and to ultimately find means to influence these variables with the goal of increasing resiliency among this group of professionals
Verbalisers and Visualisers: Cognitive Styles That Are Less Than Equal
Get PDFOver the past thirty years numerous models of cognitive style, varying in complexity and applicability, have been developed. While these models have sparked a vast body of educational research, the results have been equivocal. The models have been widely criticized for their lack of precision and predictability. According to Kozhevnikov, Kosslyn & Sheppard (2005, p 710) “much of the previous work suffered from arbitrary distinctions and overlapping dimensions.” In spite of the criticism, several models of cognitive style survive and continue to stimulate research. Two of these models, the Field Dependent – Field Independence cognitive style and the Reflective-Impulsivity model will be reviewed briefly. Then we will discuss the Verbaliser-visualiser model on which the present research is based

A Study of the Level of Math Preparedness of Manufacturing Sciences Students in the Fall Semester of 2005
Get PDFThe main objective of this study was to gauge preparedness in math with achievement in first semester math for the fall 2005 intake of Manufacturing Sciences Division Post-Secondary program students. he data used to measure this level of preparedness was gleaned from students’ high school grade 12 (new and old curriculum) or OAC math marks and the results of a diagnostic test given to students during the first week of the fall semester. In addition, success in first semester math was analyzed in relation to the specific high school math course taken. The results of this study demonstrate that high school math marks alone are a poor predictor of performance in first semester math. In addition, students emerging from the new curriculum grade 12 Math for College and Apprenticeship (MAP4C) failed first semester math at nearly three times the rate of all other course groupings combined. Conversely, students emerging from any of the University stream high school Grade 12 math courses or the College stream Math for Technology (MCT4C) were best prepared for college math in Manufacturing Sciences Division Post-Secondary programs. The diagnostic test marks were not a reliable predictor of individual student success (or “at risk” behaviour) in first semester. However, students falling into the fortieth percentile or lower groupings on the test showed a marked increase in tendency towards “at risk” behaviour or failure. Technician stream students as a group exhibited a failure rate that was double that of the technology stream group. It is recommended that the administration of the diagnostic test be continued by the college and that tracking of these indicators be carried out annually in order to monitor these trends. In addition it is recommended that students at the high school level are made aware of the need to take Grade 12 Math for Technology (MCT4C) as a minimum preparation for success in Manufacturing Sciences Division math courses. The questions raised in this study concerning differences in performance according to gender and stream warrant further study
