Teacher Actions: The Influence on Entrepreneurial Behavioral Characteristics of Students

Aims. This study aimed to identify the activities teachers from a Brazilian public higher education institution developed to analyze how these activities influenced undergraduate students’ entrepreneurial behavioral characteristics (EBCs). Method. The study applied a mixed method; the quantitative approach used the EBCs measurement instrument (Mansfield et al., 1987), analyzed with the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), prioritizing the most important EBCs in the perception of 792 students. The qualitative approach implemented a semi-structured interview script and content analysis. This approach identified the activities teachers developed and characterized as distinct according to students’ perception and their relationship with the EBCs. Discussion. Thus, it was possible to identify that practical activities and those aimed at student autonomy, directed towards reality, with correlations between disciplines, and with interactive participation, dialogue, favorable environment and learning through experience, converge to developing the entrepreneurial characteristics of the students and are being carried out in the classroom. It was also found that commitment was the most evident characteristic. Conclusions. It can be concluded that the institution presents a promising scenario to develop entrepreneurial education. However, the activities currently carried out in the establishment are not efficient or sufficient since, at the same time, as the existence of entrepreneurial activities was proved, the students presented some unsatisfactory EBCs. Therefore, a longitudinal cut is suggested to analyze the EBCs and better understand the students’ evolution with the insertion of these practices in the classroom.

A Study on the Experiences of College Student Mentors Participating in Community Networks Youth Career Experience Programs- Focusing on the Case of “Ggumridan-gil”

The purpose of this study is to examine the characteristics of youth career experience programs in connection with the local community and to examine their meaning based on the experiences of university student mentors who participated in the "Ggumridan-gil " program. For this purpose, in-depth interviews were conducted with 8 university student mentors who participated in the "Ggumridan-gil " program. 15 topics and 6 categories were derived based on the collected interview contents. First, the "Ggumridan-gil" program, in which teenagers took part, first and foremost signifies "restoring the essence of career experience," which has been validated as a "professional education" and shown to be a program that permits easy "rapport formation" between youth and adults. On the other hand, it was found that university student mentors were in charge of the role of "supporters and guides" and experienced "growth and change" with youth mentees who participated in the program. And it was found that the youth who participated in the program had a special experience of 'community support'. Based on these research results, this study suggested that the " Ggumridan-gil" program can be a new model for youth career experience education based on connection and cooperation with the local community.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on patients’ experiences obtaining a tuberculosis diagnosis in Peru: a mixed-methods study

BackgroundThe COVID-19 pandemic disrupted TB services worldwide, leading to diagnostic delays. There have been few published reports describing how the pandemic affected people’s pathway to diagnosis from their own perspectives. We sought to evaluate the impact on the pandemic on people’s experiences obtaining a TB diagnosis.MethodsWe performed a mixed-methods study, enrolling newly diagnosed TB patients from 12 health centers in Lima, Peru. We used structured surveys to quantify diagnostic delay, defined as the time between symptom onset and diagnosis, and in-depth interviews to understand the ways in which the pandemic affected the pathway to care. We compared diagnostic delay between patients enrolled during the first year of the pandemic to those diagnosed after using a Wilcoxon rank-sum test. We used an inductive content analysis approach to analyze interview content related to the pandemic.ResultsWe enrolled 51 patients during November 2020–April 2021 (during the first year of the pandemic) and 49 patients during October 2021–February 2022. Median diagnostic delay was longer for patients diagnosed during the first year of the pandemic (median 15 [IQR 5–26] weeks compared to 6 [IQR 3–18] weeks, p = 0.027). Qualitative analysis of 26 interviews revealed that the pandemic affected participants’ care-seeking behavior and their ability to access to TB diagnostic services, particularly for those diagnosed in the first year of the pandemic. Many participants initially had their symptoms attributed to COVID-19, resulting in delayed TB evaluation and additional costs for COVID-19 treatment.ConclusionsThe COVID-19 pandemic impacted multiple steps in the pathway to care for TB patients in Lima, causing delays in TB diagnosis. These findings demonstrate how the shifting of health care resources to prioritize COVID-19 can lead to collateral damage for people with TB and other conditions.

A Study on Emotions to Improve the Quality of Life of South Korean Senior Patients Residing in Convalescent Hospitals.

This study examined the occurrence of emotion types and the contents and meanings of individual emotion types to improve the quality of life of South Korean senior patients in convalescent hospitals. This research is a sequential mixed study in which we conducted emotion frequency and content analyses with 20 elderly resident patients in a convalescent hospital. In the emotion frequency analysis, we performed emotion occurrence frequency analysis and clustering to create groups of subjects that showed similar distributions of emotions. The study results found that South Korean senior patients displayed six major emotions: joy, sorrow, anger, surprise, fear, and tranquility, including mixed emotional states. In the emotion content analysis, we used NVivo to categorize and analyze the interview contents based on emotion types. The study results show the characteristics of emotions according to patients' treatment and recovery, life within narrow boundaries, relationships with new people and family, and the appearances of themselves that they could not easily but must accept. In addition, these characteristics appeared in health, environment, relationships, and psychological structures. Ultimately, the study results suggest that improving the quality of life of South Korean senior patients requires understanding of their emotions and examining diverse emotions in multiple dimensions.

Health inequalities, ethnic minorities and COVID19: interactive theatre workshop drawing on a qualitative interview study

BackgroundThe COVID19 pandemic revealed and deepened existing inequalities. These were exacerbated by institutional and interpersonal racism and poorly conceived public health messaging. As a result, people from minority ethnic backgrounds in the UK were disproportionately affected. We conducted a creative interdisciplinary session to support interactive reflection and discussion on these inequalities between the actors and the audience, who was comprised of public health scientists and NHS practitioners, to come up with practical ways to address ethnicity-based health inequalities going forward. MethodsWe prepared a 45 min interactive scenario drawing on forum theatre approaches, which are based on the Theatre of the Oppressed: a set of dramatical techniques created by Augusto Boal. To understand what to include the interactive scenario we carried out a workshop built on a narrative interview study with 70 adults who had Covid between March, 2020, and November, 2021. We adopted a maximum variation sampling strategy focusing on people from minority ethnic backgrounds (45 of total sample). Interviews were done remotely and recorded via video or audio. Study participants were invited to tell their story in their own words, alongside semi-structured prompting. After thematic analysis, the research team worked with theatre practitioners from the Performing Medicine company to create scenarios from verbatim interview content. The format allows audience members to watch scenarios and interact directly with actors, giving advice on how to improve the situation. The study was approved by Berkshire Ethics Committee. Informed verbal and written consent were obtained from all participants. FindingsFive themes from analysis explored in the workshop emerged: (1) existing racialised disadvantages that impacted COVID-19 exposure: employment, housing, and caring responsibilities; (2) unequal access to care, welfare, and support; (3) fears about the health-care system regarding quality of care and vaccine safety; (4) perceptions that the media and public health messaging blamed minority ethnic groups for spreading infection; and (5) increases in acts of direct racism. These informed the development of a 45-minute interactive scenario, which will be performed at the 10th UK Public Health Science conference. InterpretationThere is an urgent need to re-evaluate public health messaging and care for people from minority ethnic backgrounds. This theatre workshop will support reflection to refine workshop content for further dissemination. FundingUK Economic and Social Research Council.

STRATEGIES USED BY THE AUTHORITIES IN DEALING WITH ONLINE PURCHASING FRAUD

Cases of online purchase fraud are escalating and this has created concerns about the level of security available for online users. Previous studies have provided solutions to deal with the risk of fraud when using the Internet but no study has focused on discussions about the strategies employed by the Malaysian authorities when dealing with online purchase fraud. Therefore, this study aims to discuss the strategies employed by Malaysian authorities to make online purchasing safe for online users. This qualitative study employed the interview method and content analysis to collect and analyse data, respectively. The documents analysed included journal articles by past researchers, while interviews were conducted with government and non-government agencies that are directly involved with online users. Findings show that the authorities have disseminated consumer information and education through the media, provided channels for lodging complaints, communicated directly with sales service providers, conducted monitoring and inspections, enforced the disclosure of eight vital pieces of information according to P.U (A) 458, encouraged the procurement of the SSM BizTrust certificate, established collaborations with related agencies and conducted research. It is hoped that the suggested improvements can be implemented so that the implemented strategies can have a more positive effect.

Determination of Educational Needs of Teachers Regarding the Education of Inclusive Students with Learning Disability

The aim of this study is to determine the educational needs of the teachers regarding the education of inclusive students with learning disabilities in their classes. A qualitative case study design was used in this paper. The study group consists of 20 teachers who work in primary, secondary and high schools in Duzce city center in the 2018-2019 academic year and they have students who were diagnosed with learning disabilities in their classrooms. The participating teachers were selected according to the maximum diversity sampling method. In this research, teacher opinions were asked through a semi-structured interview form and content analysis was employed to analyze the data. As a result of the research, the educational needs of the teachers were gathered in five themes which are the competence of recognizing learning difficulties of students, to use the educational diagnostic process for students with learning difficulties, to prepare an individualized education plan, to develop instructional adaptations, and to conduct a family education. Based on the findings of this study, the teachers were revealed to need education in recognizing learning disabilities and the features of students with learning disabilities. In addition to these, they were also detected to need education not only in the use and the interpretation of standard assessment tools but also the knowledge about vocational regulations. The participating teachers also stated that they lack knowledge in the establishment of support and cooperation mechanisms, having the content knowledge regarding the preparation of an individualized education plan, providing expert support as well as pre, while and post educational interventions and training for family education. In the light of the research findings, it was proposed to provide practical in-service training with expert support, improve the professional qualifications of teachers providing prevocational and on the job training, and to carry out awareness activities aiming at increasing family participation.

Interactive Value Formation and Lessons Learned from Covid-19: The Brazilian Case

ABSTRACT This paper aims to describe the dynamics of co-creation and co-destruction between different actors in the interactive value formation (IVF), in a service ecosystem, at its meso, macro and mega levels of aggregation, in the ecotourism sector during the Covid-19 pandemic. Four propositions were postulated: use of information, resources integration, feedback, and engagement. Research was divided into two phases: fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis analysis (fsQCA) and interview content analysis, through case studies in Brazilian ecotourism destinations. Resources integration is a crucial pillar for the outcome of IVF during the service encounter phase. For post-service meeting phase, feedback emerges as a protagonist for the IVF result consolidation.

Emotional Awareness and Expression Interview: Examining Interview Content and Patient Experiences in Two Medical Samples.

A single session of Emotional Awareness and Expression Therapy (EAET)-the EAET Interview-was previously shown to lead to clinical benefits for patients with centralized somatic conditions in primary care (Ziadni et al. in Health Psychol 37(3):282-290, 2018) and tertiary care (Carty et al. in Pain Med 20(7):1321-1329, 2019) settings. There has yet to be an examination of patients' experiences of and reactions to the EAET Interview, which is crucial in evaluating possible clinical implementation of the interview. We conducted secondary analyses on 88 patients (M age = 41.32, 90.9% women) from the two prior trials (primary care N = 51; tertiary care N = 37). Analyses examined interview processes (stress disclosure themes, working alliance, and emotional processing) and patients' reactions to the interview (interview credibility and perceived value of the interview), comparing the two samples and examining correlations among these variables. All patients disclosed at least one stressful life experience, commonly interpersonal problems (89.2%) and childhood adversity (51.5%). Patients had moderately high levels of working alliance and emotional processing during the interview and reported high interview credibility and perceived value of the interview. More extensive emotional processing of stressors was associated with more positive patient reactions to the interview, including higher interview credibility (r = .23) and perceived value (r = .32). We conclude that the single-session EAET Interview was valued by most patients, and patients' emotional processing is particularly beneficial. Addressing the trauma and emotional conflicts of patients with centralized somatic conditions is both feasible and valuable in front-line medical settings.

Beyond “Cold Emotion and Rumination”

Abstract. Background: Although the recent past has witnessed a surge in the study of forgiveness, little is known about unforgiveness. This study aims to understand the nature and attributes of unforgiveness. Methods: We used a qualitative design. The sample consisted of 14 participants (22–32 years). We collected data using a semistructured interview protocol. The interview content was tape-recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed using the thematic analysis method. Results: We identified five themes: a complex process, multiple causes, benefits, negative consequences, and strategies to reduce unforgiveness. Challenges to trust, unforgiveness-generated behaviors, and mixed emotionality of transgressions made it a complex process. Transgressors’ misconduct, challenges to regard and relationship, and negative feelings associated with transgressions were identified as the main causes. Unforgiveness benefits victims by increasing their adaptability, self-worth, productivity, well-being, and relationship outcomes. Some negative consequences of relationships, emotionality, self-worth, etc., have also been described. Positive changes in transgressors’ behaviors and poor conditions and the likelihood of revictimization were described as mechanisms to reduce unforgiveness. Discussion: Contrary to previous views, which assumed unforgiveness represents only cold emotion and rumination, our findings reveal that unforgiveness is a complex process. Aside from certain negative consequences, it also serves some adaptive functions.

군 사망사건에 관한 사례분석에 따른 인지면담과 과학적인 내용분석(SCAN) 기법의 적용방안

As a result of analyzing the interview details of 21 deaths in the military, One of the most important factors to be considered during an investigation interview is that a location suitable for the conditions must be selected in the interview preparation stage to obtain accurate and abundant information. In the interview stage, a consensus is formed through the formation of a rapport with the witness, In order to obtain concrete and factual statements related to the case, you must first plan and interview how you will be able to make a statement through the cognitive interview technique. and It is important to examine the possibility of using the investigation by analyzing whether the statements of the persons involved in the case are reliable and valid. In this study, the criteria of scientific content analysis were examined, and the statements of the people involved in 21 death cases were substituted into the criteria of scientific content analysis to analyze the statements of the people involved. In the future, by applying cognitive interview and scientific content analysis (SCAN) to investigative interviews, it is expected that if the verbal and non-verbal behavioral responses of the witnesses are observed and the credibility of the statements is verified, it will be an opportunity to increase the efficiency of human investigations.

교육과정 기반 마을교육공동체와 교육복지사업 연계 사례

Objectives This study attempted to find out the form of linkage between the two projects and teachers' perception of them in linking the village education community and educational welfare projects based on the curriculum in unit schools. Methods The purposes of this study, data on the village education community and educational welfare projects of ○○ Elementary School in Gwangju Metropolitan City were collected. In addition, one-on-one in-depth interviews were conducted with seven teachers. The collected interview contents were categorized through open coding, categorization, and category confirmation process. In order to secure its validity and reliability, the Participant Identification Act was implemented. Results The link between the village education community and the educational welfare priority support project was systematic with the detailedness of village resource exploration and curriculum analysis and continuous operation of the consultative body. The two were complementary in their use of the budget. The interviews were categorized into five categories. These are “expanding awareness of the operating form of education welfare priority support projects,” “synergy effect of linking village schools with education welfare projects,” “recognition of the importance of village education communities,” “effectiveness of curriculum linkage,” and “difficulty in realizing village education communities,” and “The value of a project class that combines reality”. Conclusions Teachers think positively of the educational effect on the connection between the village education community and the educational welfare priority support project. However, I thought that linking the two projects was difficult in terms of the work of the teacher in charge of it, especially in establishing a network and securing/exchanging village resources. In order to improve this, it was suggested that there should be an increase in autonomy suitable for the unit school situation and a system to support it.

Health digitalisation and innovative entrepreneurship status. A qualitative exploration of private sector in Greece and synthesis of main issues

This primary research aims to examine to what extent Greek health entrepreneurs, as they looking for options to grow their businesses, have realized the opportunities offered to them by the new technologies. Furthermore, to which level they have implemented innovative practices, based on the potential of digitalisation, to improve the operation of their entrepreneurial activities in providing treatment services to the citizens as well as to cooperate with other structures and other organisations. The research explores the views of the entrepreneurs on using digital practices at their services and their impact regards to the reduction of operating costs, the control of materials and the change of the patient-doctor cooperation grid. A qualitative study was conducted with semi-structured interviews in twelve healthcare companies from various regions of Greece. The selection of the sample was made with the Convenience Sampling strategy. The interviews were conducted in Greek with the owners or managers of these healthcare units and the duration was 45 minutes. The content of the semi-structured interviews was classified into three thematic categories. The first section dealt with innovative digital interventions in relation to suppliers, materials, wares, supplies and payments. The second section is concerned with innovative digital interventions compared to the public services and self-administrative authorities, insurance funds and public health structures. The third section is concerned with the innovative digital interventions in relation to the quality care of the patient, his treatment and upgrading the offered health services. The research showed that there were discrepancies in the development of innovative digital activities among the examined companies. Innovative digital interventions were developed by health enterprises, especially in the field of their internal operation and in the service of their patients. On the contrary, many digital interventions could not be completed since there has been an incompatibility with public services and public health structures where the digital transition has not progressed in the same level. Entrepreneurs who preferred traditional forms of operating and offering services to their patients, they did so by fearing that innovative digital activities required more financial capitals and new qualified staff that would surely increase their operating costs.

The lingering impact of Hurricane Katrina: Examining the physical health, mental health, and racial equity impacts of disaster response.

The purpose of the research discussed in this paper is to better understand the negative health outcomes resulting from Hurricane Katrina and the disaster response that followed. This understanding can inform future disaster response. We conducted 10 in-depth interviews with individuals who lived in New Orleans at the time of Hurricane Katrina. We conducted thematic analysis on the interview content and identified patterns across all 10 interviews. Four primary patterns emerged across all interviews. These were: (1) Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) response to the crisis created greater physical and mental health hazards for interviewees; (2) Hurricane Katrina led to long-term mental health issues for interviewees, even those who evacuated before the storm; (3) displacement from homes following the storm typically resulted in overcrowded living conditions, which increased interviewees' risk of infectious disease; and (4) the discrimination faced by interviewees in the months and years following Hurricane Katrina had a profound and lasting impact on their well-being. Numerous studies have been conducted to understand the mental health impacts of disaster and a limited number have looked at the physical health impacts or the threat of infectious disease. This study is unique because it incorporates both mental and physical health impacts, but also examines how disaster response itself plays a role in health outcomes for survivors. Additionally, this paper also incorporates the role of racial inequities in disaster response and how those inequities impact survivor health.

"This has definitely opened the doors": Provider perceptions of patient experiences with telemedicine for contraception in Illinois.

The COVID-19 pandemic increased the provision of contraception through telemedicine. This qualitative study describes provider perceptions of how telemedicine provision of contraception has impacted patient care. We interviewed 40 obstetrics-gynecology and family medicine physicians, midwives, nurse practitioners, and support staff providing contraception via telemedicine in practices across Illinois, including Planned Parenthood of Illinois (PPIL) health centers. We analyzed interview content to identify themes around the perceived impact of telemedicine implementation on contraception access, contraceptive counseling, patient privacy, and provision of long-acting reversible contraception (LARC). Participants perceived that telemedicine implementation improved care by increasing contraception access, increasing focus on counseling while reducing bias, and allowing easier method switching. Participants thought disparities in telemedicine usage and limitations to the technological interface presented barriers to patient care. Participants' perceptions of how telemedicine implementation impacts patient privacy and LARC provision were mixed. Some participants found telemedicine implementation enhanced privacy, while others felt unable to ensure privacy in a virtual space. Participants found telemedicine modalities useful for counseling patients considering methods of LARC, but they sometimes presented an unnecessary extra step for those sure about receiving one at a practice offering same day insertion. Providers felt telemedicine provision of contraception positively impacted patient care. Improvements to counseling and easier access to method switching suggest that telemedicine implementation may help reduce contraceptive coercion. Our findings highlight the need to integrate LARC care with telemedicine workflows, improve patient privacy protections, and promote equitable access to all telemedicine modalities.

Factors Influencing Treatment Adherence Among Drug-Sensitive Tuberculosis (DS-TB) Patients in Armenia: A Qualitative Study.

PurposeDespite the availability of effective treatment, tuberculosis (TB) is still one of the leading causes of mortality around the globe. Poor adherence to treatment challenges TB management both globally and locally. Proper adherence to treatment contributes to successful outcomes and prevents the development of drug-resistant forms of TB.Patients and MethodsWe conducted a qualitative study to identify and describe the factors that facilitated treatment adherence among drug-sensitive TB (DS-TB) patients in Armenia. Sixteen in-depth interviews (IDIs) with former DS-TB patients, two IDIs with family members of former DS-TB patients, and a focus group discussion with healthcare providers who manage DS-TB patients were conducted. The educational and ecological assessment component of the PRECEDE-PROCEED model was applied as a conceptual framework to guide the interview content and data analysis.ResultsFormer patients’ awareness of TB and its treatment, beliefs about TB, trust in TB healthcare providers, and a sense of responsibility were the most common factors that predisposed them to complete the treatment. Support received from providers, family, and friends, a desire to avoid TB-associated stigma, and good tolerance of TB medications were the main reinforcing factors. Enabling factors included a relatively simple regimen of TB treatment and accessibility and affordability of TB services.ConclusionThe findings of the study provide new perspectives on factors that facilitate adherence to long-term therapies, such as TB. Interventions that aim to invoke a patient’s sense of responsibility and positive beliefs about TB as well as engage families might promote the successful completion of treatment.
