Living in the shadows of schizophrenia: a qualitative inquiry into caregivers’ psychosocial burden
This study aimed to qualitatively examine the psychosocial burden experienced by caregivers of schizophrenic patients. This study used an interpretative phenomenological analytical design. The sample comprised 15 individuals responsible for the care of patients with schizophrenia in Türkiye. A homogeneous sampling method, a form of purposeful sampling, was used to select the participants. Data were collected through face-to-face, semi-structured interviews, and the analysis was performed using MAXQDA 22 software. The data obtained from the interviews were analyzed under four themes: ‘Challenges in the Caregiving Experience ’, ‘Healing Process in Cultural Context’ and ’ Coping Experiences’. This study elucidated the complex challenges encountered by caregivers of patients with schizophrenia. Consistent with these findings, it is imperative to implement comprehensive policies that incorporate cultural sensitivity and gender equality to mitigate the difficulties experienced by caregivers of schizophrenic patients
Detection of aberrant testing behaviour in unproctored CAT via a verification test
Unproctored Computerized Adaptive Testing (CAT) is gaining traction due to its convenience, flexibility, and scalability, particularly in high-stakes assessments. However, the lack of proctor can give rise to aberrant testing behavior. These behaviors can impair the validity of test scores. This paper explores the use of a verification test to detect aberrant testing behavior in unproctored CAT environments. This study aims to use multiple measures to detect aberrant response patterns in CAT via a paper-and-pencil (P&P) test as well as to compare the sensitivity and specificity performances of the l_z person-fit statistic (PFS) using no-stage and two-stage (l_z is used after the Kullback–Leibler divergence (KLD) measure) methods in different conditions. Three factors were manipulated – the aberrance percentage, the aberrance scenario, and the aberrant examinee’s ability range. The study found that in all scenarios, the specificity performance of l_z in classifying examinees was higher than its sensitivity performance in no-stage and two-stage analyses. However, the sensitivity performance of〖 l〗_z was higher in two-stage analysis.Unproctored Computerized Adaptive Testing (CAT) is gaining traction due to its convenience, flexibility, and scalability, particularly in high-stakes assessments.
