La Normalization Process Theory: Sperimentazione di un programma educativo sulle competenze emotive
No full textBackground: Essere emotivamente intelligenti implica la capacità di saper affrontare, comprendere e sentire le proprie emozioni e quelle degli altri, ed essere in grado di saper rispondere ed agire di conseguenza dal punto di vista intrapersonale, interpersonale, di gestione dello stress, adattabilità alla situazione e umore generale. Lo studio europeo "Serious Games – Developing Emotional Competence for Nursing Students" (SG4NS) si è posto l’obiettivo di sviluppare ed erogare un intervento formativo inerente alle competenze emotive (CE) negli studenti del Corso di Laurea (CdL) in Infermieristica.
Methods: Studio quasi-sperimentale pre-post-intervento a metodi misti. Raccolta dati quantitativa attraverso questionario Veiga Emotional Competence Scale, prima dell’intervento formativo e dopo un mese dall’intervento stesso. La raccolta dati qualitativa si è svolta sulla base della Normalization Process Theory (NPT) e alle nozioni di Context-Mechanism-Outcomes (CMO). Interviste semi-strutturate e focus-group sono stati effettuati con 12 studenti del CdL in infermieristica coinvolti nello studio SG4NS in Italia. I dati sono stati raccolti tra luglio 2023 e fine ottobre 2023. La raccolta dei dati ha comportato anche osservazioni sul campo durante l’intervento formativo. Analisi di statistica descrittiva sono state effettuate sui dati quantitativi e analisi tematiche, secondo metodologia di Braun e Clarke, sui dati qualitativi.
Results: Il campione era composto in maggioranza da femmine (75%, n=9) e aveva un’età media di 26 (DS: 8) anni. Sono state ottenute differenze medie statisticamente significative per quanto riguarda la competenza emotiva di self-awareness (DM [Differenza Media]: 1.29; p <.001), gestione delle emozioni (DM: 1.20; p <.001), self-motivation (DM: 2.39; p <.001) e punteggio totale (DM: 1.03; p <.001). Sono emersi dai dati qualitativi in corrispondenza dei quattro costrutti della NPT: Coherence “Lavorare bene in gruppo e saper stare più vicino al paziente”; Cognitive Participation “L’utilità delle competenze emotive per sé stessi, per i pazienti e per le relazioni con gli altri”; Collective Action “Il gruppo come catalizzatore dell’intervento formativo”; e Reflexive Monitoring “Le competenze emotive implementate nella realtà di tutti i giorni”. Dall’analisi del CMO, è risultato che in un contesto favorevole in aula e tirocinio, attraverso un gruppo unito e ristretto come numero, le attività pedagogiche di gioco di ruolo, PBL e simulazione, la riflessione e la messa in atto delle CE, hanno creato i meccanismi di base attraverso i quali le CE sono state implementate in automatico dagli studenti. Gli outcome ottenuti dagli studenti, oltre all’implementazione delle CE, sono stati: il focus e l’attenzione al paziente e alla relazione di cura, l’importanza del tempo di relazione come tempo di cura, e lo sviluppo di relazioni emotive tra i membri del team.
Conclusions: Dai risultati ottenuti, risulta evidente che una formazione inerente alle CE sia essenziale per migliorare la qualità assistenziale che gli infermieri possono erogare. Saper gestire le proprie emozioni, permette non solo una crescita personale ma anche una migliore presa in carico della persona e della sua famiglia, con una particolare attenzione alla relazione di cura.Background: Being emotionally intelligent implies the ability to cope with, understand and feel one's own emotions and those of others, and to be able to respond and act accordingly from intrapersonal, interpersonal, stress management, situational adaptability and general mood perspectives. The European study "Serious Games - Developing Emotional Competence for Nursing Students" (SG4NS) aimed to develop an educational intervention concerning emotional competence (EC) in students of the Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Nursing.
Methods: Quasi-experimental pre-post-intervention mixed-methods study. Quantitative data was collected prior to the intervention and one month after it, with Veiga Emotional Competence Scale questionnaire. Qualitative data collection was carried out on the basis of the Normalization Process Theory (NPT) and Context-Mechanism-Outcomes (CMO) methodologies. Semi-structured interviews and focus-groups were conducted with 12 nursing students involved in the SG4NS study in Italy. Data were collected between July 2023 and the end of October 2023. Data collection also involved field observations during the intervention. Descriptive statistical analyses were carried out with Jamovi software, and thematic analyses were carried out according to Braun and Clarke's methodology.
Results: The sample was in majority female (75%, n=9) and had an average age of 26 (SD: 8) years. Statistically significant mean differences were obtained for EC in self-awareness (DM [Mean Difference]: 1.29; p <.001), emotion management (DM: 1.20; p <.001), self-motivation (DM: 2.39; p <.001) and total score (DM: 1.03; p <.001). Qualitative data emerged from the four constructs of the NPT: Coherence 'Working well in a group and being closer to the patient'; Cognitive Participation 'The usefulness of emotional competence for oneself, for patients and for relationships with others'; Collective Action 'The group as a catalyst for the training intervention'; and Reflexive Monitoring 'The emotional competence implemented in everyday reality'. From the CMO's analysis, it emerged that in a favourable classroom and internship context, through a united group that was small in number, the pedagogical activities of role-playing, PBL and simulation, reflection and implementation of EC, created the basic mechanisms through which EC were automatically implemented by the students. The outcomes obtained by the students, in addition to the implementation of the EC, were: the focus and attention on the patient and the care relationship, the importance of relationship time as care time, and the development of emotional relationships between team members.
Conclusions: Developing EC is essential to improve the quality of care that nurses can provide. Knowing how to manage one's own emotions allows not only personal growth but also better care of the person and his or her family, with particular attention to the care relationship
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
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
