Generating Recommendations for Medical Curricula to Reduce Stigma Towards Psychiatry From Medical Students

AimsIn 2021, we completed a project entitled: ‘Stigma Towards Psychiatry: Correlating Personal Experience with Existing Literature’ – ‘International Congress Award Winning’. We aim to use the themes generated from this to inform recommendations to medical educators to reduce stigma in their curricula towards psychiatry.MethodsUsing previously identified themes, we generated a set of recommendations aimed at the pre-admission, pre-clinical and clinical phases of learning. Pre-admission themes include: misconceptions of the role of the psychiatrist and disinterested medical applicants. Pre-clinical themes include: dissociation of psychiatry from medicine and clinical role modelling. Our final category, clinical, includes: cross-speciality support for psychiatry, pathophysiology in de-stigmatisation of psychiatric disease, discrimination of the aspiring psychiatrist, psychiatric exposure in training not seeing conversion of students to psychiatrists and the role of unofficial mentors in continuing enthusiasm for the speciality. Division in this way gave us multiple opportunities to look for areas of potential intervention in influencing medical student's views on psychiatry. Further influencing our recommendations was the feedback from a group of consultant psychiatrists this project was presented to.ResultsAddressing the themes driving stigma from the previous project saw us producing a list of recommendations targeted at each phase of medical school. (1) Pre-admission stage: selecting candidates who are more psychologically minded by recognition of A level psychology as a core subject; encouraging people with experience in mental health settings to apply for medical training (Srivastava et al, 2018); highlighting psychiatry as a medical career in the prospectus. (2) Pre-clinical stage: making students aware of their unconscious stigma towards psychiatry; clearer links made to psychiatry in early medical school to relevant biochemistry, anatomy, physiology and pharmacology (Mahli et al, 2003); tutor / doctor led psychiatry based extracurricular groups; highlighting mental health aspects of functional neurological disorders and disorders within rheumatology such as fibromyalgia. (3) Clinical stage: making clinicians aware of their unconscious stigma towards psychiatry; encouraging cross-speciality support for psychiatry; improving contact with psychiatrists on mental health placements (Archdall et al, 2013).ConclusionStigma towards psychiatry extends from medical school and into clinical practice. It feels important that medical school curricula should be altered in order to change students’ experience of psychiatry within medical school. The recommendations target each stage the themes were identified within. Our local medical school has agreed to let us present this at their curriculum meeting which may pave the way for further refinement and implementation of our suggestions.

Defamiliarization of the Myth of Meerabai in Kiran Nagarkar’s Cuckold

Kiran Nagarkar’s Sahitya Academy Award Winning novel Cuckold is a twisted tale of love and war set in the early 16th century during the era of Bhakti movement. It is based on the life of mystic saint Meerabai and her husband Bhoj Raj. Meerabai is considered to be the first woman saint of Bhakti movement in the Indian History and still remembered throughout the world for her utmost devotion towards Lord Krishna. There are several novels and movies based on her life and in most of them she has been celebrated and pedestalized as a saint. Nagarkar’s Cuckold is an exception. A novel dealing with the life of saint Meerabai and her husband with such title makes it out of the ordinary. This paper aims to scrutinize the character of Meerabai in this novel.

The 9th Lawrence R. Schehr Memorial Award Winning Essay

In the nineteenth century, France was no nation of modern language learners. This was not by any means because France was isolated from other nations: on the contrary, its increasing desire to expand its colonies, its international links through diplomacy, trade, and culture, and significant levels of immigration into France, all positioned it at the heart of a multicultural, multilingual global network. However, for much of the century, modern languages were widely considered to be a rather decorative accomplishment; it was only with France’s devastating defeat by Prussia in 1871 that the dearth of language skills among the French population began to cause widespread concern and to be seen as a worrying national weakness. Although lengthy texts and speeches mediated and scrutinized this dramatic shift for the upper classes, for the popular audiences of workers, artisans, and lower-middle class clerks and shopkeepers it was often café-concert song that confronted its novelty and its strangeness. Dozens of songs were written between 1870 and 1914 about teachers, pupils, dubious accents, and mediocre exam results. This article explores these songs - about Spanish, German, and English - to question how they reflect upon attitudes to language learning, upon popular perceptions of France’s neighboring nations, and upon the audience’s own sense of identity as Parisians and as French citizens.

Abstract 9787: Guideline Implementation Trends Following Diabetes and CVD Hospital Award Program

Background: While it is accepted that recognition drives performance improvement over time, less is known about implementation attitudes and behaviors following introduction of a new guideline recognition program. This analysis aims to understand guideline implementation trends within hospitals treating diabetes in patients with stroke and/or heart failure after launch of a diabetes recognition program. Methods: Hospitals participating in American Heart Association’s (AHA) Get With The Guidelines (GWTG)-Stroke and/or GWTG-Heart Failure modules are asked to document adherence to guidelines for diabetes care. A 26-question survey regarding implementation attitudes and behaviors related to guideline adherence for diabetes care of patients with stroke and/or heart failure was sent to a stratified random selection of 678 hospitals participating in GWTG-Stroke and 328 hospitals in GWTG-Heart Failure. A total of 311 surveys were collected. Results: Perceived value of the diabetes recognition award was higher in award-winning (34-44%) compared with non award-winning hospitals (21-24%). Both award winning and non-award winning hospitals reported "limited time due to COVID-19" as a top data entry barrier, and "reason for not prescribing an antihyperglycemic medication with proven CVD benefit" as most difficult to locate. Award-winning hospitals reported higher rates of referral for a diabetes consult as standard practice. Conclusion: This diabetes award recognition program demonstrated higher value in award-winning hospitals, with higher rates of standard practice referrals after a new diabetes diagnosis. Further barriers to achievement of standards were identified, highlighting the need for continued support of hospitals following introduction of recognition programs. Future findings may inform strategies for successful implementation of similar programs, ultimately leading to improved care of those with diabetes and CVD.

‘“Yesterday I Couldn’t See. Tomorrow’s Sun Shines Now”: Sharing Migrant Stories Through Creative Arts to Foster Community Connections and Wellbeing’

ABSTRACT This article documents the experiences of refugee and migrant backgrounds women residing in non-metropolitan areas of Australia, as they created works for the Stories to Freedom public exhibitions. In addition to confirming the positive impact of creative practice on the women’s wellbeing, this research revealed the women’s perceptions of social inclusion. Engaging in these activities increased feelings of happiness, confidence and pride. Visitors to the exhibitions commented on feeling inspired, which allowed the women to feel welcome and develop a sense of connectedness and belonging in their communities. This article makes an important original contribution to the growing body of literature in refugee studies and arts-based practice research. It uses a collaborative approach to acknowledge the success of arts practice in altering the negative narrative about ‘newcomers’, and progresses understanding of social inclusion. It does so by presenting a new case study, located in three different geographic locations within non-metropolitan Australian communities. Additionally, it details a unique, award winning, innovative community-engaged research process, through which a team of researchers were able to support and inspire new program directions, including the suggestion for the creative arts component which was embraced enthusiastically by participants and staff.

국제 공모전 제품디자인 분야 대학생 수상작품 분석-2016년부터 2020년까지 5년간의 레드닷(Red Dot) 디자인 공모전 수상작품을 중심으로-

디자인 공모전은 디자인전공 학생들에게 있어 자신의 경력과 디자인 능력에 대하여 객관적 기준에 의해 판단 받을 수 있는 중요한 기회라고 할 수 있다. 따라서 매년 공모전을 개최하는 단체나 기업에서는 자신들이 추구하는 디자인 방향성을 심사기준으로 정하고 출품작품들을 선별하고 있고, 이러한 기준이 매해 연도별 어떠한 경향 혹은 시대성을 반영하고 있으리라 가설을 바탕으로 연구를 시작하였다. 본 연구의 목적은 디자인 공모전의 공정성과 콘셉트 방향성을 가늠해볼 수 있는 자료의 확보이며 이를 근거로 주제선정의 객관적인 데이터 확보와 예비 디자이너의 양성을 위한 기초자료의 토대를 구축하는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 인지도가 가장 높은 레드닷 공모전에서 5년간 수상한 총 145개 학생작품에 대하여, ‘신기술, 로우테크, 노약자, 사회문제, 환경친화’와 연관된 총 5개의 메인 주제와 ‘생활, 의료, 교육, 소통, 작업, 운송, 안전, 체육, 환경’의 9개 보조주제로 구분하여 살펴보았다. 본 연구의 결론으로 첫 번째는 지난 5년간 해를 거듭할수록 대학생 수상작품의 개수가 점차 하락폭이 커지고 있음을 확인할 수 있었으며, 두 번째는 수상작품이 가장 많은 국가로는 중국이 5년간 78개의 작품을 차지함으로써 전체 수상작품 대비 총 54%를 차지할 정도로 압도적이란 점이다. 세 번째는 지난 5년간 총 145개 대학생 수상작품의 주된 주제가 ‘신기술’과 ‘로우테크(Low tech)’의 비중이 각각 35%씩 차지하여 이러한 2개의 주제가 전체의 70%를 차지하고 있다는 점이다. 네 번째, ‘생활 속의 문제해결’을 위한 소주제의 빈도가 총 54개(37%)로 가장 많았으며, 그 다음으로 의료 19개(14%), 운송과 환경이 각각 14개(9.6%)의 비중을 차지하고 있었다. 이러한 연구결과를 바탕으로 추후 세계 3대 디자인 공모전 전체의 자료 분석을 실시하여 디자인 발전의 객관적인 지표를 확립하고자 한다.

The 7th Lawrence R. Schehr Memorial Award Winning Essay

Popular music abounds in Afropean literature, yet to date scholars have primarily read novels’ musical elements through author biography. In this article, I focus narrowly on the rich musical peritexts and musico-literary intermediality of two novels by Insa Sané: Du plomb dans le crâne (2008) and Daddy est mort…: Retour à Sarcelles (2010). In addition to the abundant diegetic musical references, both novels also feature two structural musical layers. I argue that these three musical elements constitute critical sites through which the novels’ narratives, which center around young, black, male protagonists who seek to escape vicious circles of violence through recognition, emerge. Ultimately, these novels’ musical elements situate the narratives’ discussions of black masculinity within much broader conversations transpiring between French and African American communities, thereby providing a much larger cultural genealogy to supplement the characters’ fraught literal ones.

Man-Woman Conflict in Selected Carlos Palanca: Award Winning Plays of the 1980’s

The study attempted to help shape a fuller and deeper understanding of man-woman relationships and its attendant tensions, complications and intricacies seen and refracted through the feminist perspective and psychoanalytic lens. To achieve this objective, three selected Palanca award winning plays in the Philippines were critically examined to this end: The Chieftain’s Daughter by Felix Clemente, Celadons by Dhelia Racines, and Brisbane by Bobby Flores Villasis. Freudian psychoanalytic criticism and feminist perspective guided the analysis and interpretation of the text. It aimed to identify the type of man-woman conflicts in each play and the literary devices which are employed in the plays. It also aimed to examine the confluence factors which underlie the conflicts and the insights into the man-woman relationship conveyed by the selected plays. Based on the analysis, among the devices used to highlight the conflict were dialectics and symbolism. Some of the underlying factors which affect the conflicts were the pressure of traditional value and practices, greed, and insecurities. Thus, this study unveiled the nature of gender and conflict and the understanding of the man-woman relationships through the intervention or mediation of literature.

Brokering the core and the periphery: Creative success and collaboration networks in the film industry.

In collaboration-based creative industries, such as film production, creators in the network core enjoy prestige and legitimacy that are key for creative success. However, core creators are challenged to maintain diverse access to new ideas or alternative views that often emerge from the network periphery. In this paper, we demonstrate that creators in the network core can increase the probability of their creative success by brokering peripheral collaborators to the core. The argument is tested on a dynamic collaboration network of movie creators constructed from a unique dataset of Hungarian feature films for the 1990–2009 period. We propose a new way to capture brokers’ role in core/periphery networks and provide evidence that being in the core and at the same time bridging between the core and the periphery of the network significantly increases the likelihood of award winning.
