No full textMaximizing the Use of the Intraprofessional Team to Develop Interprofessional Pediatric Primary Care Teams
No full textPediatric well-child care focuses on growth, development, physical examination, and caregiver education for health prevention and promotion. There is limited time for providing all of these services within typical well-child visits. A series of research activities explored opportunities for interprofessional collaboration within pediatric primary care teams during well-child care. The four research activities included a focus group with occupational therapy practitioners, observations of well-child visits, and two caregiver surveys; two faculties and two students were involved as part of the intraprofessional research team. Results of the research activities identified opportunities for allied health professionals as part of the pediatric primary care team to support incongruence between current care delivery and caregiver preferences for care. While activity participation was found to be well addressed in primary care, an increased focus on understanding the impact of child and family habits, routines, and context on activity participation is an opportunity for interprofessional primary care teams to promote health outcomes for children
What is Success in drug rehabilitation?
No full textDrug rehabilitation programs display and advertise, through their websites and advertisements online, that they help their clients succeed and gain the life they want. The idea of success is not defined on the webpage of most drug rehabilitation facilities. Each program may have a different idea of successful treatment and what the requirements are to no longer need to participate in the program leaving it to the clients to assume the goals of the facility. Leaving this to the clients to assume often leads them to follow the assumptions that are set by society believe successful treatment will contain and not what the facility wants to uphold. There is a disconnect between society’s expectations of how a person behaves when they leave drug rehabilitation, while the research supporting these programs has limited goals for those leaving their program. Then, what and how should some of these expectations and definitions of success be changed
Improved Mediterranean diet scores by increasing Omega-3 containing foods in U.S. adult diets
No full textObjective: The Mediterranean-Style Diet (MedD) pattern is associated with lower risk for chronic diseases. Key components to the MedD pattern are consumption of olive oil, green leafy vegetables, and fatty fish, all sources of omega-3 (O-3) fatty acids. The purpose of this study is to predict alignment to a MedD pattern using O-3 containing foods. Methods: A sample of 19,978 25-65 year olds with two reliable 24-hour recalls was obtained from the 2007-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys. Multiple regression analyses determined differences by adherence level, high scorers (HS) vs. general population (GP), to the MedD pattern for dietary outcomes. Using isocaloric food substitution modeling within the GP, changes in MedD score were measured. Results: The average MedD score in HS was 16.7±0.09 versus 7.1±0.05in GP (p\u3c0.0001).Exclusive olive oil (OO) use was reported at 0.3% in GP; if OO use increased to half of oil as OO, MedD score would increase by2.1 points. MedD score increased by 0.56 when replacing 4 oz. red meat for 4 oz. fish in the GP and 6.26 when replacing 0.67 cups starchy vegetables with 2 cups non-starchy vegetables. Conclusions: Increasing oil consumption to include half of oils from OO, replacing 4 oz of red meat with 4 oz of fatty fish, and replacing 0.67 cups starchy vegetables with 2 cups of non-starchy vegetables would help the GP to achieve better alignment to a MedD pattern
Native American Youth Perspectives on Resilience
No full textFew existing studies examine resilience in youth by exploring the perspectives of the youth themselves. Research suggests that resilience is culturally contextual and that it is essential to include youth viewpoints when constructing an understanding of resilience. Native American youth are underrepresented in youth resilience studies. For this study, we use an arts informed method to explore resilience among Native American youth. An arts informed method provides for gathering of subjective, intuitive participant perceptions, which aligns with our phenomenological and Indigenous research cultures of inquiry. Participants took photos of that which they perceived to give them strength (“resilience” code-switched for youth) and included explanatory narratives of the photos. We thematically analyzed the photo and narrative data and found themes of family connectedness, cultural identity, self-expression through the arts, and intergenerational role modeling. Native American youth experience emotional support from family and strength in their Native American identity. Self-expression through art and music serves as both a process in which they find strength, as well as a means of expressing personal and cultural identity and connecting with nature. Intergenerational role modeling underscores the strength they feel not only in learning from their elders, but also in setting an example for younger family members. Based on our findings, health, community and educational settings could build Native American youth resilience capacity and opportunity by including family, Native American culture, the arts, and mentor/mentee relationships in their strategies, programming and delivery. Further research should seek to expand and deepen Native American youth perspectives on resilience as well as those of youth that identify with other cultures
Exploring the Underlying Forces in Interpreter Education in the United States
Get PDFIn interpreter education programs across the United States, future practitioners are shaped and molded by many factors during their education journey, some explicit and some implicit. Those factors can include the formal curriculum, faculty and staff diversity, and interactions with mentors and peers. The underlying forces or hidden curriculum that often goes unseen can impact a student’s educational journey positively or negatively. The impact can vary depending on certain demographic variables of the individual students. The data was analyzed using a system thinking framework and validated that there are underlying forces influencing interpreter student development. The following research briefly examined the frequency and impact of the hidden curriculum using a Likert scale survey for frequency, a ranking scale for impact, and volunteer interviews for student experience. Examining the data more deeply using the demographic variables of race, gender identity, and sexual orientation revealed various experiences depending on the students\u27 demographics. When reaching beneath the surface of the educational journey of interpreter students, this study confirms that the hidden curriculum is present and active. However, more research is necessary to understand better how to identify the hidden curriculum, specifically through student experiences and intersectionality
