An Evaluation of a Conflict Resolution Curriculum Implemented Among Interprofessional Health Faculty in Higher Education
No full textInterprofessional education (IPE) prepares healthcare professionals to work collaboratively in team-based environments. While IPE includes competencies for conflict resolution, it is often under-addressed in faculty development and training. This project aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a targeted educational intervention focused on conflict resolution. A two-hour online workshop based on the TeamSTEPPS® Mutual Support module was delivered to faculty and affiliates from Hawaii's Interprofessional Education programs. A pre-post design was used to measure outcomes. Tools included the TeamSTEPPS® Learning Benchmarks, the Teamwork Attitudes Questionnaire (T-TAQ), and the Interprofessional Collaborative Competency Attainment Survey (ICCAS). Data were analyzed using SPSS to assess satisfaction and changes in knowledge and attitudes.
Fourteen participants completed the pre-survey, and thirteen completed the post-survey. Participants showed statistically significant improvement across all 20 ICCAS items. One item on the T-TAQ and one conflict-related question on the TeamSTEPPS® Learning Benchmarks showed significant gains. Participants reported high satisfaction, found the material relevant, and noted increased confidence in managing interprofessional conflict.
The findings suggest brief, targeted training can improve faculty confidence and competence in managing conflict. This has implications for faculty development, IPE curriculum design, and organizational practices. Limitations include a small sample size, reliance on self-report, and limited generalizability. Future research should explore long-term outcomes and broader application across health disciplines
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
A study of select barriers that adversely impact father's participation and family reunification of foster care children in the state of Georgia, 2014
Get PDFThe purpose of the study is to determine in what ways incarceration, undocumented paternity, substance abuse, and parental conflict create barriers to father involvement and family reunification with children in the Georgia foster care system. The study is designed to explore the impact that child welfare workers have on these four major barriers preventing fathers' lack of participation. The participants of the study are social workers and case managers who work with fathers and their children who are in the custody of the Georgia Department of Human Services foster care system. In addition, this study explores ways in which social work practices mandate the importance of reaching out to fathers in every client's case. As well, consideration is given to the historic, cultural and psychosocial barriers that the child welfare system must address in the family reunification process. Furthermore, this study challenges the child welfare system to offer services and make intentional efforts to engage the fathers' participation in all aspects of their child's case including, but not limited to, assessments, medical treatment and family conferences. Finally, this study further advocates a paradigm shift in the culture of the child welfare system to fulfill the goal of foster care, which is family reunification
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
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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
