Tourism, financialization, and real estate : the transformation of the holiday rental market
No full textFrom the perspective of an Alpine town with high tourism intensity, this paper adds to the literature on the political economy of short-term rentals (STRs). While holiday apartments are a relatively new phenomenon in cities, connected to the emergence of the platform economy, in many Alpine destinations, they have constituted an important segment of tourist accommodation for many decades. This is the situation in our case study town, Garmisch-Partenkirchen (Bavaria, Germany), where many holiday apartments have traditionally been part of detached houses. Drawing on qualitative fieldwork, the paper seeks to answer two questions: (1) How has the holiday rental market changed with the rise of digital platforms? (2) What socio-spatial consequences did the transformation of the holiday rental market have? We found that the profound restructuring of the STR market is primarily related to two interconnected reasons: (a) To the growth and professionalization of traditional STR management companies, and (b) to a growing number of external investors, particularly wealthy private individuals, who acquire holiday apartments as capital storage and financial investment. Due to the extremely high real estate prices, newly built apartments are almost exclusively offered on the STR market, which in turn causes rental and building prices to rise again. For policies in rural areas, it is of utmost importance to take those new platform-related (financialization) dynamics into account. While local property owners and non-local investors drive the restructuring of the holiday rental market, benefiting from escalating real estate prices and from the extraction of tourism rent, the non-property-owning population is priced out of Garmisch-Partenkirchen. The explosion in real estate prices has meant that it is almost impossible for tourism employees to find affordable housing, which, in turn, is becoming a burden for labor-intensive tourism businesses. This highly unequal socio-spatial development is becoming an ever-greater problem for the town
Psychiatric Brief psychotherapy PKP of depression in combined group and single-therapy for psychiatric departments : looking back on 14 years PKP-Practice in hospital
No full textAs the length of stay of depressive patients in acute psychiatric inpatient treatment is usually only six weeks and individual treatments are not feasible for staffing reasons, it is necessary to use structured short-term treatments in a group setting on the hospital ward. Psychiatric Brief Psychotherapy PKP is a variant of Strategic Brief Therapy adapted for psychiatric clinics and practices (Sulz, 2007, 2017a, Sulz et al., 2011). Established evidence-based cognitive and emotive treatment techniques are integrated (Sulz & Hauke, 2009). In particular, PKP uses brief interventions to develop a treatment strategy, which makes PKP particularly suitable for creating a completed therapy step during a consultation or clinic visit. PKP can be implemented as a combined group and individual therapeutic treatment concept in general psychiatric and psychotherapeutically orientated wards of a care clinic (Algermissen & Rösser, 2019, 2021). Our large therapy study shows the results of a scientific evaluation (n= 1196) of this innovative therapy concept (in the Clinic for Psychiatry, Psychotherapy and Psychosomatics at Braunschweig Hospital. PKP is effective and conserves resources - with high patient acceptance. In co-operation with a psychiatric outpatient clinic or psychotherapists in private practice, cross-sector treatment paths can be planned. A catamnestic examination shows a high level of consistency in the therapy results. This shows that far more systematic psychotherapies can be applied in psychiatric clinics without having more staff available. This could significantly increase the effectiveness of inpatient psychiatric treatment

Psychiatric & Psychological Brief Psychotherapy PKP
No full textThe PKP approach is first presented in general terms, essentially as transdiagnostic psychotherapy – even before PKP turns to the individual disorders. This makes it clear that the concept can be applied to virtually all Axis I disorders. Initially conceived as psychiatric psychotherapy in a 25-minute setting (consultation and clinic visit), PKP was soon applied by psychological psychotherapists in the 50-minute setting of guideline-based psychotherapy, which is why the name was expanded to include "psychological." At the same time, it is a modular psychotherapy that does not follow a rigid therapy manual, but focuses on the individual patient with their unique personality structure and problem situation, thus providing tailored therapy. This takes place as individual sub-modules within the framework of the three major modules (pillars): symptom therapy – skills training/emotion exposure – and schema-analytic work with the dysfunctional survival rule

Professional quality of life of child welfare workers and psychotherapists working with traumatized young unaccompanied refugees in Germany : a cross-sectional study
No full textBackground
Burnout symptoms and secondary traumatic stress are especially high among Child Welfare Workers (CWWs) and psychotherapists and might have increased since the recent increase in refugee numbers. Little is known about the wellbeing of CWW and psychotherapists working with unaccompanied young refugees (UYR), especially in German child and youth welfare facilities where they work closely together. This study aims to assess levels of compassion satisfaction (CS), burnout (BO), and secondary traumatic stress (STS) in German CWWs and psychotherapists, examining connections to demographic variables and group differences.
Methods
N = 198 CWW and N = 97 psychotherapists were assessed via the Professional Quality of Life Scale (ProQOL). Descriptive statistics, t-test for independent samples, correlations between the ProQOL scales and hierarchical regression analyses with demographic variables as predictors were computed.
Results
Both samples showed average to high levels of CS, and low to average levels of BO and STS. CWWs scored significantly higher than psychotherapists on BO and STS. In CWW, demographic variables were not associated with CS, BO or STS. Among psychotherapists, previous experiences in working with UYR (β = 0.38; p <.001) were positively associated with CS. Factors such as weekly therapy sessions (β = − 0.35, p =.001) and the psychotherapist’s migration background (β = − 0.20, p =.048) were negatively associated with STS. The number of PTSD cases treated (β = 0.27, p =.018) and additional training (β = 0.31, p =.006) were positively associated with STS.
Conclusion
Among psychotherapists, prior experience in working with UYRs may contribute to elevated levels of CS, whereas a higher number of previously treated PTSD cases appears to be associated with increased STS. Further research on the influence of sociodemographic variables is needed for CWWs to identify protective and risk factors. Supporting and training CWWs and psychotherapists is crucial for quality treatment of traumatized UYRs
Possible Applications and Conditions for the Development and Integration of Robotic Assistance Systems in the Acute Inpatient Setting from the Perspective of Nursing Professionals : A Qualitative Study
No full textRobotic assistance systems are considered a promising approach to addressing nursing staff shortages and improving the quality of care in acute inpatient settings. Successful implementation requires not only the definition of practical application scenarios, but also the systematic identification of facilitating and hindering factors for real-world integration. The objective of this study was to explore nursing staff’s perspectives on the potential application of robotic assistance systems in clinical settings. In a qualitative cross-sectional study, 12 individuals involved in nursing care were interviewed using a semi-structured guide. The questions focused on potential applications and areas of use for robotic assistance systems in acute care settings. The data were analyzed using structuring qualitative content analysis. From the perspective of nursing staff, robotic assistance systems have the potential to add value to acute clinical care. They can be used in various ways, such as transporting materials, meals, and beverages, or supporting nursing staff in prophylactic measures and vital sign monitoring. Additional applications include organizational tasks and documentation. Potential areas of deployment were identified, including surgery, urology, and isolation units. Furthermore, spatial, personnel, organizational, and technological conditions for the development and integration of robotic assistance systems were outlined. The development and implementation of robotic assistance systems in clinical settings are complex undertakings. Institutional and technical conditions must be considered alongside person-centered factors. A user- and benefit-oriented approach to technology development can only succeed if user perspectives are consistently integrated throughout all phases of development, testing, and implementation
