Assessing Patients' Experiences in Radiology: Enhancing Comfort for Claustrophobic MRI Patients
No full textClaustrophobia is a common fear experienced by individuals undergoing MRI scans, which can significantly impact their comfort and overall experience. During this senior project, various methods for alleviating claustrophobia in MRI patients were explored. The importance of addressing this issue to improve patient satisfaction, reduce scan disruptions, and enhance diagnostic accuracy was highlighted. These included pre-scan interventions such as patient education, communication, and counseling to manage anxiety levels effectively. The use of relaxation techniques like deep breathing exercises, meditation, or listening to calming music sounds during the procedure was also discussed. Healthcare workers can enhance the overall experience for their patients while ensuring high-quality imaging results
Melanated and Educated: A Scholarly Personal Narrative
No full textI apply Scholarly Personal Narrative (SPN) in this paper as the research method to reflect on my academic experiences as a Latino within social work education. The four major components of SPN—pre-search, me-search, re-search, and we-search—facilitate my discussions on the racist encounters I have survived throughout my academic journey. Grounded in Latina/o Critical Theory (LatCrit) and Intersectionality Theory frameworks, I apply LatCrit’s testimonio (narrative) approach to explain the four major themes that emerged: assimilation and acculturation, barriers to education, microaggressions and racial gaslighting, and cultural taxation. I conclude with recommendations for recruiting and retaining men of color in social work education and discuss the potential benefits of cultural resemblance between instructor and student
It Started with a Tweet Calling White Social Work Educators in: Building a Professional Learning Community
Get PDFThis narrative documents the beginning early stages of a collective called #SWEDUACTS. We are four White, female social work educators who over the last year have led the planning of a teach-in event held in October of 2020 and subsequent monthly drop-in, peer-led Professional Learning Community meetings drawing dozens of participants over the past nine months. We reflect here on how engaging in the planning and delivery of the drop-in sessions helps ground our commitment to anti-racist pedagogy as well as facilitates the capacity of other social work instructors to build their own capabilities as anti-racist social work pedagogues
COVID Keepers: How the Pandemic Can (and Should) Transform College Teaching
Get PDFThe COVID-19 pandemic thrust higher education into the seemingly overnight shift to remote instruction. The drastic increase in online offerings expanded course accessibility in ways that we never imagined, especially for students with disabilities. As we continue to adapt and shift to more hybrid and in-person interactions, it is crucial that we reflect on the insights and lessons that we have learned during this era and examine what we should retain even after the pandemic has become endemic. This paper synthesizes the observations, pedagogical strategies, and perceptions of two associate professors at a mid-size, public university in the northeast United States who shifted from in-person, synchronous instruction (pre-COVID) to fully online, asynchronous formats in the 2020–2021 academic year. We explore lessons learned and offer suggestions for preserving the approaches that resulted in improved course accessibility and flexibility. What are our COVID keepers
