Child abuse and neglect education: Implementing educational toolkit in a hospital setting
No full textPresented to the 20th Annual Symposium on Graduate Research and Scholarly Projects (GRASP) held at the Rhatigan Student Center, Wichita State University, April 26, 2024.Research completed in the Department of Nursing, College of Health Professions.This was a quality improvement project evaluating child abuse and neglect educational toolkit. The project aim was to answer the question: Does the implementation of a child abuse and neglect educational toolkit increase hospital and clinical staff knowledge and confidence when screening and reporting compared to current practice? The project was set in a hospital system in the Midwest. Participants in the project were healthcare providers who participated in the care of adult and pediatric patients. The study method was a survey of participants' knowledge and confidence in identifying and reporting suspected child abuse and neglect. The participants took a pre- and post-educational survey to evaluate the knowledge and confidence gained as a result of the educational toolkit. This project is important because early identification and reporting of child abuse and neglect prevents continuation of abuse, neglect, and risk for mortality.Graduate School, Academic Affairs, University Librarie
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
Evaluating a Mental Health Crisis Intervention Program in a Rural Community Health Center
No full textMental illness is one of the leading disease burdens in the United States. In southeast Kansas, there are high rates of mental illness, substance abuse, and poverty, coupled with a health care provider shortage areas. The Community Health Center of Southeast Kansas (CHCSEK) in Pittsburg, Kansas, is a Federally Qualified Health Center that provides integrated healthcare in an underserved rural population area. The clinic developed the Management of Behavioral Health Emergencies procedure to help clinic staff respond and coordinate care for patients in a mental health crisis. The project objective was to assess the effectiveness, efficiency, and feasibility of a mental health crisis intervention in a rural mental health clinic. The study objectives include: a) reviewing the timeframe of a patient encounter and the timeframe for accessing emergency services and or a consultation; b) reviewing how both patient and staff safety were assured; c) evaluating if emergency services were obtained during the mental health crisis patient; and d) if CHCSEK staff collaborated with any outside emergency services and hospitals. A descriptive case study research design was used for this project. Data collection included information obtained from patient charts, incident reports, staff observations, and an anonymous online staff survey. The cases were chosen by the Behavioral Health and Addiction Services Clinic Director. Both exemplar and outlier cases of patients that presented to the Pittsburg clinic in mental health crisis occurring from November 2018 through August 2020 were chosen for this study. Data analysis followed theoretical propositions to answer the project objective. The concepts of time, safety and efficiency were analyzed. The comprehensive evaluation provided feedback and recommendations to clinic administration, behavioral health providers, and other stakeholders involved in managing patients in a mental health crisis at CHCSEK. The recommendations emphasized promoting high quality behavioral health care, patient and staff safety, and improved patient healthcare outcomes
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
