Adolescents with mental health problems in school: towards better help-seeking and support
No full textYour mental health during adolescence can have important consequences for your school functioning since adolescents with mental health problems have a higher chance of school dropout. To prevent school dropout, it is important that adolescents with mental health problems seek help in time and get appropriate support, either within school or through psychosocial care. However, asking for help and accepting help is often a problem for adolescents. Thus, increasing our insight into help-seeking behaviour of adolescents is important, not only for their current mental health, but also for their mental health in adulthood. Therefore, we investigated the help-seeking behaviour of adolescents, and the use of support in school by adolescents and the factors that influence it. We also investigated the feasibility of the Supported Education method, a support method that aims to support adolescents with mental health problems to remain in school. Finally, we also looked at treatment outcomes of psychosocial care for adolescents and the influence of health literacy skills. In general, we can conclude that mental health prevention and support for adolescents is essential and that there are many opportunities to address this in the school environment. In addition, it is important to stimulate knowledge and skills of adolescents on mental health, for example to help them seek help and talk about mental health, as well as to create a mental health positive climate in schools. This needs a school wide approach, in which school management, education professionals and adolescents are involved

Comments on “The importance of nurse caring behaviours as perceived by Swedish hospital patients and nursing staff”
No full textAuthor version made available here in accordance with the publisher's policy.This paper considers the impact of von Essen and Sjoden’s (1991a) study on subsequent research into nurse and patient perceptions of nurse caring behaviours. The influence von Essen and Sjoden and others on the development of instruments for data collection of nurse and patient’s perceptions of nurse caring behaviours will also be discussed. The paper will then explore how von Essen and Sjoden’s work and that of later studies have led to the development of research based knowledge that informs current research, education and practice in nursing and question fundamental assumptions of caring theories and models that inform perceptions of nurse caring behaviours
Melting Pot
No full text20 p.The author describes the evolution of her work away from the human figure and toward abstract expressionism. In discussing her collection of eight drawings using conte or charcoal on wax, paper, and canvas, she says “I didn't set out to make great drawings - the drawings I used are at best very mediocre - but I wanted to show the process of drawing and art in general and how it in itself can be a beautiful thing. To exemplify this, I decided not to use a whole figure but rather fragments and pieces of the whole in most. In each piece I manipulated and applied the beeswax in a different way to show the versatility of a simple material such as wax.

Lindy Trinkaus Zagzebski teoria autorytetu poznawczego. O potrzebie ufania innym
No full textIn this paper the author analyzes Trinkaus Zagzebski’s theory of epistemic authority. This theory underlines the importance of trust in the process of justification of beliefs and it indicates the limitations of so called epistemic egoism. The ideal for epistemic egoism is self-reliance of a subject in justifying his or her beliefs. Trinkaus Zagzebski defends so called epistemic universalism, according to which, the mere fact that a person x claims that p is a prima facie reason in favor of p. In the text the author indicates the weak points of universalism and concludes that either one accepts this point of view with its consequence rejecting the thesis of equality of epistemic subjects or one adheres to the point of view of epistemic egoism. The author claims that Trinkaus Zagzebski gives a reader indications how to improve this standpoint so it does not result in counterintuitive claims.W artykule autor analizuje teorię autorytetu przedstawioną przez Trinkaus Zagzebski. Teoria ta podkreśla rolę zaufania w uzasadnianiu zdań, m.in. wskazując na ograniczenia stanowiska egoizmu poznawczego, dla którego ideałem jest sytuacja, w której podmiot, uzasadniając swe przekonania, polega tylko na własnych zdolnościach poznawczych. Trinkaus Zagzebski broni uniwersalizmu poznawczego, wg którego już sam fakt, że osoba x, głosi że p, jest prima facie racją za p. W tekście autor wskazuje na słabe punkty uniwersalizmu i konkluduje, że albo uznamy to stanowisko z jego konsekwentnym odrzuceniem tezy o równości podmiotów poznających, albo też mimo wszystko opowiemy się za egoizmem poznawczym. Autor uznaje przy tym, że amerykańska filozofka daje nam wskazówki, jak ulepszyć owo stanowisko, by nie prowadziło ono do twierdzeń sprzecznych z intuicją
