Social Media and Digital Marketing: Identifying and bridging the gap
Get PDFPreviously, the level 6 (second year) module for Marketing in the Bachelor of Applied Management degree contained only a brief overview of social media and digital marketing.
The course content and assessments were revised in late 2015, with the expectation that students would already have the knowledge and experience of using a variety of social media platforms. However, when the marketing plan assignments were submitted, there was a heavy reliance on Facebook for marketing strategies, tactics and activities. The focus was on ‘social’ rather than business uses, with little consideration of digital marketing.
Research was undertaken to ascertain the actual depth and breadth of student knowledge and understanding of social media and digital marketing. The poster analyses this research and outlines the strategies subsequently used, including the use of information hubs, to expose students to a variety of social media platforms and the use of digital marketing
Social workers' perceptions of multi-disciplinary team work: A case study of health social wokrers at a major regional hospital in New Zealand.
No full textINTRODUCTION: International research has highlighted the importance of effective multidisciplinary team (MDT) functioning in health care settings: when collaboration between disciplines is effective, higher quality patient care results; whereas poor MDT functioning is associated with deleterious health outcomes. This study explores the findings of a small-scale case study into social workers’ views of MDT functioning at a major, regional public hospital in New Zealand.
METHODS: Data was collected using in-depth interviews with eight health social workers and one focus group with three additional health social workers. Thematic analysis was used to identify key themes, and a discourse analysis undertaken to identify predominant discourses evident in the data.
FINDINGS: Study participants considered that when MDTs were well-facilitated important non-medical aspects of patient care were addressed: patient care and discharge plans were communicated clearly and consistently to patients and families, and coordination between MDT members was effective. However, participants also identified occasions when the facilitation of MDTs was poor, where meetings were unstructured and unfocussed, and where social work and patient concerns with wider non-medical issues was devalued. Participants considered that such situations could lead to confusion and distress for patients and a failure to coordinate effective plans for discharge.
CONCLUSION: The findings from this case-study suggest that, from the perspective of health social workers, ineffective facilitation of MDTs, an undue emphasis on the discourse of the patient as a ‘site of disease’, and a preoccupation with the management of risk can demote and devalue more holistic patient-centred perspectives, and the effectiveness of important, nonmedical aspects of patient care

Aotearoa New Zealand Social Work Journal Special Issue: Child protection, the family and the state: critical responses in neoliberal times.
No full text"Neoliberalism as a term captures the essence of some
pernicious directions in family policy, both
here and globally. In this special issue, we
use it to refer to several key themes that
increasingly frame the relationship of the
state to the family in Aotearoa New Zealand....
The articles offered in this
edition are all, in various ways, concerned
with the quest for social justice in
challenging times. The collective analysis
of current political, economic, social issues
and events serves to develop and illustrate
the reach and maturity of our profession; to
cast a critical eye over the implications of
neoliberal social change for the children and
families most fiercely impacted by it.
Research presentation to CHASP staff- an Appreciative Inquiry study into medication management
Get PDFJulie Martyn presented on her recent research into medication management. Julie is a senior lecturer in the School of nursing, midwifery and paramedicine at Fraser Coast campus of the University of the Sunshine Coast. Julie completed her PhD titled ‘An appreciative inquiry of medication administration by registered nurses – the untold story’ in 2016. Since then Julie has been invited to collaborate internationally to expand the person-centred medication management practices of the participants that were highlighted in the study. Additionally, Julie is conducting local research into the continuing education needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait islander health care workers. Julie prefers an appreciative lens when researching practice-based problems. Julie seeks to highlight affirming actions that can be hidden in everyday activities because it is these contributions to patient-centred care and safety that can offer new practice foundations.
Abstract for Julie’s thesis:
Registered nurses world-wide are educated, authorised and accountable for safe and effective medication administration. Studies of the best medication administration practices are rare, except where adherence to the rights framework is used as the benchmark. However, the rights framework lacks instructional details making it a mantra without meaning. This appreciative inquiry highlighted valuable aspects of nursing education and practice as hidden contributors to safe and effective medication management. Illumination of these strengths, enabled the construction of a person-centred model of medication management thus, promoting the valued and valuable attributes embedded in the practice of the participants
