Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
La relation entre les comportements des parents et la détresse de leur enfant en salle de réveil à la suite d’une chirurgie d’un jour : Une analyse secondaire
No full textIntroduction : En situation anxiogène comme une chirurgie d’un jour, les enfants accordent une attention importante aux comportements qu’adoptent leurs parents. Objectif : L’objectif de cette analyse secondaire était d’explorer la relation entre les comportements des parents et ceux des enfants en salle de réveil à la suite d’une chirurgie d'un jour. Méthodologie : À l’aide d’un devis de recherche descriptif corrélationnel, soixante-et-onze dyades parent-enfant ont été observées à l’aide d’une caméra vidéo en salle de réveil. Tous les comportements manifestés ont été codifiés à l’aide du Child Behavior Coding System-PACU. Des tests de corrélations Pearson /Spearman et Poisson ont été menés à l'aide de SPSS. Résultats : Une forte corrélation significative et positive a été obtenue entre l’humour procédural des parents et la demande d’information, un discours non relié à la procédure, un discours relié à la procédure et un affect positif chez l’enfant. Conclusion : Les parents et les enfants pourraient bénéficier d’une préparation péri-opératoire centrée sur la parentalité bidirectionnelle et d’un accompagnement de l’équipe soignante en salle de réveil
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis

No full textAdolescent patients’ management of postoperative pain after discharge: A qualitative study
No full textBackground
Adolescents are typically admitted for a short period of time after inpatient surgery, leaving much of their recovery to occur at home. Pain, and thus pain management, is a major component of recovery at home. Research among pediatric outpatient surgical patients has found that pain experienced in the community setting after discharge is often severe and is related to knowledge deficits resulting in inadequate pain management. However, there is little research on community pain management after inpatient surgery.
Aim
This study aimed to explore the pain experiences of seven adolescents who underwent inpatient surgery.
Design
This study used Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis as a methodology.
Setting
This study took place at a pediatric tertiary care hospital in Canada.
Participants
7 adolescents participated, all of whom underwent inpatient surgery with admission between 2-14 days in length.
Methods
Semi-structured interviews were conducted 2 to 6 weeks post-discharge.
Results
Three themes were identified that described their experiences, including managing severe pain at home with minimal preparation, changes in the parent–child relationship, and difficulties returning to school and regular activities.
Conclusions
Involving adolescents directly in discharge education, particularly with the use of novel interventions and coaching, may improve outcomes
Parents’ management of adolescent patients’ postoperative pain after discharge: A qualitative study
No full textBackground: Short hospital admission periods following pediatric inpatient surgery leave parents responsible for managing their child’s postoperative pain in the community following discharge. Little is known about the experiences of parents caring for their child’s postoperative pain after discharge home following inpatient surgery. Research examining parental postoperative pain management following their child’s day surgery has found that parents are challenged in their pain management knowledge and practices.
Aims: This interpretative phenomenological analysis study sought to understand parents’ experiences caring for their child’s postoperative pain at home.
Methods: Semistructured telephone interviews were conducted with seven parents between 2 weeks and 6 months after their child’s discharge from hospital.
Results: Identified themes were coming home without support, managing significant pain at home, and changes in the parent–child relationship.
Conclusions: Parents could potentially benefit from nurses optimizing educational interventions, from receiving ongoing support of transitional pain teams, and from assistance with return to school planning

No full textParental Decision-Making for a Child with a Life-Limiting Condition
No full textPurpose: To explore the decision-making experiences of and the supports provided to the parents of children with life-limiting conditions.
Qualitative Study: A qualitative interpretive description study guided by the Ottawa Decision Support Framework was conducted. Interviews with parents and healthcare professionals revealed that parents made difficult healthcare decisions for their child and were prone to experiencing decisional conflict. Participants described a need for interprofessional support, guided decision support, and a preference for formal and informal support networks.
Scoping Review: A scoping review was conducted. The three eligible studies revealed that parents require early and timely decision support provided by an interprofessional team of healthcare professionals and aided by a structured decision support intervention.
Conclusions: Decisions made by parents of children with life-limiting conditions are complex. Healthcare professionals are required to facilitate appropriate decision support interventions for parents including a parent based support network
