While compassion fatigue (i.e., depersonalization, emotional exhaustion, and career dissatisfaction) and suicidality have been studied separately among healthcare workers, their relationship with each other remains understudied. This study investigates the associations between compassion fatigue and past-year suicidal thoughts, suicide planning, and suicide attempts among a diverse sample of healthcare workers. Methods: We collected cross-sectional data from a sample of U.S. healthcare workers (N = 200). Logistic regression models examined relationships between compassion fatigue and past-year suicidal thoughts, planning, and attempts, separately. Final models controlled for gender and occupational setting (hospital vs. other). Results: Suicidality was prevalent: 14% of participants reported past-year suicidal thoughts, 6.0% reported suicide planning, and 3.5% reported a suicide attempt. Greater compassion fatigue was significantly associated with increased odds of past-year suicidal thoughts (OR = 1.10, 95% CI: 1.04, 1.16), suicide planning (OR = 1.10, 95% CI: 1.02, 1.19), and suicide attempts (OR = 1.10, 95% CI: 1.01, 1.21). After controlling for gender and occupational setting, these associations remained significant for suicidal thoughts (aOR = 1.09, 95% CI: 1.04, 1.16), suicide planning (aOR = 1.10, 95% CI: 1.02, 1.19), and suicide attempts (aOR = 1.10, 95% CI: 1.01, 1.21). Conclusions: Findings suggest that higher compassion fatigue is linked to increased suicidality among healthcare workers, highlighting the need to address compassion fatigue as a potential risk factor
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Never Deployed, But Still at Risk: Substance Use and Mental Health Problems Among Reserve/Guard Soldiers
No full textPh.D.There are over 800,000 service members in Reserve Components of the military, the majority of whom are United States Army Reserve and National Guard (USAR/NG) soldiers (Defense Manpower Data Center, 2019). These service members are particularly vulnerable to psychological problems and constitute over one-third of the US Armed Forces (Defense Manpower Data Center, 2019). However, research that has examined the determinants and effects of psychological problems in the military has disproportionately focused on active duty service members. Many USAR/NG soldiers never deploy during their military careers, and a growing body of evidence suggests that they are also at risk for problems with substance use and mental health. However, literature on USAR/NG soldiers has primarily focused on the effects of combat. Through the use of epidemiologic research methods, this dissertation expands our understanding of never-deployed USAR/NG soldiers, their experiences, and what factors might contribute to their well-being.The first aim of this research was to examine the relations between negative emotions related to having never have been deployed and a range of alcohol use outcomes, as well as to examine potential differences by sex among a sample of never-deployed USAR/NG soldiers (N = 174). The second aim of this research was to compare indicators of mental health, substance use, and resiliency according to deployment status, as well as to examine the relative salience of these factors to psychosocial problems among a sample of USAR/NG soldiers (N = 404). The third aim of this research was to examine the potential protective effects of unit support, marital satisfaction, and psychological hardiness on a range of mental health outcomes, and to examine potential differences by deployment status among a sample of USAR/NG soldiers (N = 360)
Variations on the Author
Full text link“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
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe 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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
