Promoting mental health and wellbeing in schools: How the Ofsted inspection process can inspire change and what support is needed in schools

The Society set out to consider how the Department for Education could work with Ofsted to introduce a new psychological wellbeing measure into its inspection regime that was accompanied by the provision of additional psychological support. The importance of this work in the current climate was twofold. Firstly, (at the time of writing) as one in eight children and young people have a mental health difficulty it was important that wellbeing and positive mental health were addressed in schools. Secondly, the Ofsted framework sends a clear message about how teachers and schools can prioritise their time, when this is becoming ever increasingly demanding. The Senate campaign’s Expert Reference Group (ERG) contributed to the BPS’ consultation response to the OFSTED inspection framework. Drawing on the expertise of the ERG, we produced a commentary on the need to ensure the mental health needs of children are identified within schools, called for Ofsted to consider their definition of ‘resilience’ and to consider the wider factors which might contribute towards ‘attitudes and behaviour’. In addition to submitting a response to the Ofsted consultation, we produced a policy briefing calling for whole school approaches to mental health and welling and closer scrutiny of these by Ofsted.Ofsted immediately contacted the Society and we secured a meeting with Ofsted’s Deputy Director. We provided an up-to-date bibliography of relevant psychological research to Ofsted’s Head of Research. However, we were disappointed (as was the other kindred organisations) that Ofsted did not make any significant changes. Our briefing was picked up by The Times Educational Supplementwww.tes.com/news/schools-mental-health-support-should-be-inspected-ofstedThe Ofsted Inspection Framework Consultation response can be found here:https://www.bps.org.uk/sites/www.bps.org.uk/files/Policy/Policy%20-%20Files/BPS%20Response%20-%20Ofsted%20Education%20Inspection%20Framework%202019.pdf

Ольга Дмитриевна Голубева: к 100-летию со дня рождения

In 2021 we mark the 100th anniversary of the birth of O. D. Golubeva, a bibliologist, Doctor of Philology, whose entire working life relates to M. E. Saltykov-Shchedrin State Public Library. For 35 years she was the deputy director of the library for scientific work. The article recreates the biographical sketch of the scientist, reveals the significance for Russian literary criticism of her research on the publishing activities of M. Gorky and several publishing houses of the early twentieth century. Special attention is paid to the role of O. D. Golubeva in the creation of a whole series of works devoted to the history of the Library, including biographical sketches of the figures of the Imperial Public Library. The role of the scientist in the creation of the school of historical biography in the National Library of Russia is determined.

On the Formation of the Exhibition “Religion and Atheism of Ancient Greece” in the Museum of the History of Religion and the Atheism of the USSR Academy of Sciences (According to Documents of SPbB ARAS)

The purpose of the publication is to describe the history of the creation of the exhibition “Religion of Ancient Greece” in 1954 at the Museum of the History of Religion and Atheism of the USSR Academy of Sciences. Documentary materials related to this case are stored in the museum fund at the St. Petersburg Branch of the Archive of the Russian Academy of Sciences (fund 221) and are being introduced into academic circulation for the first time. The author of the concept of the exhibition was an employee of the museum, a young antiquarian A.A. Neikhardt, who made efforts to replenish the museum with original exhibits and also contributed to the transfer to the museum of the finds of the Bosporan expedition from the Institute of the History of Material Culture of the USSR Academy of Sciences, thus being a “founding father” of the ancient archaeological collection of today's State Museum of the History of Religion. The figure behind the concept was the deputy director of the museum M.I. Shakhnovich. Two more St. Petersburg antiquarians were involved in the organization of the exhibition: S.I. Kovalev, the future Director of the Museum of the History of Religion and Atheism, and I.A. Shishova, a young specialist. The formation of expositions took place against the background of a certain ideological pressure when a researcher who wanted to engage in pure science had to subordinate his work to the ideological paradigm established by the state.

Board of Trustees Takes Action on Major Issues

Back to table of contents Previous article Next article APA & MeetingsFull AccessBoard of Trustees Takes Action on Major IssuesMark MoranMark MoranSearch for more papers by this authorPublished Online:4 Jan 2021https://doi.org/10.1176/appi.pn.2021.1.27AbstractTrustees approved a position statement on preventing Black youth suicide that includes addressing social determinants of health as factors in suicide and low engagement with mental health services.Climate change, structural racism, and the passage of nine new position statements—including statements addressing suicide among Black adolescents and the impact of cannabis on adolescents—were at the top of the agenda at last month’s virtual Board of Trustees meeting.Trustees also received a report from past APA President Anita Everett, M.D., on the Presidential Task Force on Assessment of Psychiatric Bed Needs in the United States. The task force aims to develop a model for determining the number of psychiatric inpatient beds that any community needs. The initial model, which will be released later this year, will likely be fairly basic, but it can evolve to incorporate greater complexity and can be refined to reflect the needs of the community where it is used.The Board approved the creation of the Committee on Climate Change and Mental Health. They also approved publication of the “Manuscript on Climate Change, Psychiatric Service Needs, and the Psychiatric Workforce: A Commentary.” This seven-page document was written by psychiatrists and APA staff (including APA Director of Research Nitin Gogtay, M.D., and Diana Clarke, Ph.D., deputy director of research and senior epidemiologist/research statistician).The manuscript outlines five areas related to psychiatry and the psychiatric workforce affected by climate change: labor and resource shortages, gaps in education and training, prevention and intervention needs, advocacy and public awareness, and direct efforts to reduce climate change. “[R]esearch consistently and overwhelmingly reflects an association between climate change and adverse effects on mental health. With an expected increase in the frequency and severity of climate events, one of the challenges for psychiatry moving forward is determining the next best steps in preventing and mitigating poor mental health outcomes.”The Board also approved several recommendations from the Presidential Task Force to Address Structural Racism Throughout Psychiatry. These included the following:Developing a formal sponsorship program for minority and underrepresented psychiatrists. Sponsors will include members of the Board, Assembly leaders, council chairs, and other component leaders.Requiring the Nominating Committee to reach out annually to all council chairs, Assembly leaders, and district branch leaders to solicit suggestions for psychiatrists from minority and underrepresented groups appropriate for nominations for national office.Creating a database to track the pool of potential minority and underrepresented nominees for national office.Nine new position statements were approved by Trustees last month. These include a new position statement titled “Impact of Cannabis on Children and Adolescents,” which states, “Given the lack of scientific support for safe cannabis use, and the known adverse impacts and risk for addiction, APA opposes the use of cannabis by children, adolescents, and young adults up to age 25.”Trustees also approved a position statement titled “Suicide Among Black Youth in the United States.” That statement calls for further research on the specific risk factors associated with suicide in Black youth and the implementation of effective interventions to address this issue. The statement also calls for the following:Increased funding for health disparities research, with an emphasis on assessment, prevention, and intervention to develop best practices to address suicidal behavior in Black youth.Removing structural barriers faced by the Black community in accessing treatment.Exploring the role of social determinants as potential factors in understanding the increasing rate of suicide and low rate of mental health engagement in Black youth.Trustees voted to approve U.S. Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman of New Jersey to receive the 2021 Jacob K. Javits Award for Public Service. The Javits award acknowledges a public servant who has made a significant contribution to the mental health community, such as ensuring access to quality services for individuals with mental illness. It is the highest award APA confers on a public servant.” ■ ISSUES NewArchived

Professor Veniamin M. Ugriumov (To the 110th anniversary of birth)

The authors claim four milestones of V.M. Ugriumov's career - time spent twice in Moscow, Saratov, and Leningrad. In Moscow, V.M. Ugriumov evolved as an N.N. Burdenko disciple and later as deputy director of Burdenko Neurosurgical Institute. Ugriumov's life and career in Saratov was the least studied part of his biography, and the authors used archive documents of various origins to investigate and describe them. As a result, the new scope of text and photo files was introduced into the scholarly discourse. It was in Saratov where V.M. Ugriumov designed his original neurosurgery studies, laid the groundwork for the development of Saratov neurosurgery school, and brought his management and teaching talents to light. Later, in Leningrad, Professor V.M. Ugriumov proved to be a remarkable neurosurgeon, physiologist, science, and healthcare manager.В творческой биографии проф. В.М. Угрюмова авторы выделили четыре этапа: два московских, саратовский и ленинградский. Московские этапы — становление В.М. Угрюмова как ученого школы Н.Н. Бурденко и приобретение опыта руководства крупным нейрохирургическим центром в качестве заместителя директора Института нейрохирургии им. Н.Н. Бурденко. Саратовский этап — наименее исследованная часть биографии известного российского нейрохирурга. Авторы, используя архивные документы разного происхождения, подробно описывают данный этап, вводя в научный оборот новый корпус текстовых и фотодокументов. Итоги саратовского этапа — формирование В.М. Угрюмовым пласта собственных оригинальных исследований в нейрохирургии, создание платформы для развития саратовской нейрохирургической школы, раскрытие его организаторского и преподавательского таланта. На третьем, ленинградском этапе жизненного пути профессор В.М. Угрюмов проявил себя как незаурядный нейрохирург, ученый-физиолог, организатор науки и здравоохранения.

The Effect of a Prescription Audit, Feedback, and Small Group Education Intervention on the Who/Inrud Prescribing Indicators in Eswatini – a Controlled Before and after Study

Background: Irrational use of antibiotics is a global problem that may potentiate antimicrobial resistance. Objective: We assessed prescribing practices in Eswatini and the effect of a short intervention - prescription audit and feedback coupled with small group education on prescribing indicators. Methods: This was a pre-post intervention study using the World Health Organization/ International Network for the Rational Use of Drugs (WHO/INRUD) prescribing indicators at three time points: baseline, post-intervention, and post-follow-up. Baseline results were used to design a six-months’ unblinded intervention in 32 health facilities, randomly allocated to intervention (16) and control (16) arms. Prescribing patterns were assessed immediate post-intervention, and six months after the end of the intervention, through an audit of 100 randomly selected prescriptions from each facility. Comparison of WHO/INRUD prescribing indicators were carried out using intention to treat analysis at the two time points. Results: At baseline, in both intervention and control facilities, rational prescribing standards were only met by the average number of medicines per prescription and the percentage of prescriptions with injections. The use of antibiotics was above 50% in both intervention and control facilities. At the end of the follow-up period, there was a significant decrease in the use of antibiotics in intervention facilities, compared to control facilities (MD = -8·31, 95% CI = -15·74 - -0·89; p = 0·03). Conclusion: In a low-and-middle-income setting with a high prevalence of irrational prescribing practices, a prescription audit, feedback, and small group education intervention may have benefits in improving rational antibiotics prescribing. Funding Information: The Institute of Tropical Medicine (ITM) financially supported the conduct of this study through the School of Public Health at the University of the Western Cape. Declaration of Interests: None to declare. Ethics Approval Statement: Ethics clearance was granted by the University of the Western Cape Higher Degrees Committee (reference BM/16/4/2) and the National Health Research Review Board in Eswatini. Permission to access healthcare facilities was granted by the office of the Deputy Director Pharmaceutical Services in the Ministry of Health in Eswatini.

МОДЕЛЮВАННЯ ІНФОРМАЦІЙНОГО ЗАБЕЗПЕЧЕННЯ СТРАТЕГІЧНОГО УПРАВЛІННЯ КОРПОРАТИВНОЮ СОЦІАЛЬНОЮ ВІДПОВІДАЛЬНІСТЮ НА ОСНОВІ МЕТОДОЛОГІЇ ІDEF0

Sustainable enterprise development depends on the effectiveness of the corporate social responsibility management in general and its information management system in particular. The paper develops the structural and functional model of information support for strategic corporate social responsibility management based on the application of IDEF0 methodology. The information model takes into account theoretical and methodological provisions of the proposed mechanism of strategic corporate social responsibility management, in particular a reflexive approach to interaction with the enterprise stakeholders. In the course of developing the IDEF0-model of information support, the functional decomposition of the process is represented in graphical notation. Logical connections between management functions, input, output, control signals and mechanisms are established that contribute to the effective implementation of strategic corporate social responsibility management. Expert evaluation methods, mathematical methods and models, and strategic management methods are the control signals that manage the implementation of the mechanism of strategic corporate social responsibility management. Model inputs are the parameters of the enterprise internal and external environment, while outputs contain financial and non-financial reporting with improved indicators of socially oriented balanced scorecard, which reflects changes in the strategic corporate social responsibility management system. Mechanisms for implementing the process are represented by corporate social responsibility department, functional departments, deputy director of corporate social responsibility and CEO, which together reflect the company organizational support the developed process. The use of IDEF0 methodology for information modeling ensures the formation of optimal information flow structure and cost minimization for changes in the enterprise organizational structure during the transition to the implementation of the mechanism of strategic corporate social responsibility management. It allows obtaining a complete picture of the proposed information mechanism.

Программы профилактики подросткового буллинга в деятельности педагога-психолога

Prevention of adolescent bullying is one of the leading areas of activity of a teacher-psychologist. Being a widespread issue of the modern school bullying in adolescence demands to be separated from other aggressive behaviors by specific criteria. There are: primary prevention, aimed at pre-venting bullying situations in an educational institution, at forming public unacceptance of aggressive behavior, at creating an active position to stop it; secondary prevention, which implies the containment of provocative bullying factors and the strengthening of protective factors (first of all, the optimization of relationships in the adolescent environment and the dyads “adolescent — adult (teacher, parent)”; tertiary prevention, which is a set of measures of psychological assistance to victims, abusers and witnesses of bullying and their social environment. At each level of preventive work, measures are developed in four main directions: work at the school level in general, work at the school class level, work at the family level, work at the individual level (with an adolescent). In each of these areas of work, a teacher-psychologist, classroom teachers of secondary classes, a social teacher, and deputy director for educational work have their own tasks and responsibilities. They take part in the development of a unified school anti-bullying program as members of a single team. There are specifics in prevention programs — depending on the role of an adolescent in bullying: a victim, an abuser or a witness. The basis for the development of a bullying prevention pro-gram at school is to understand and take into account the main patterns of school bullying identified on the basis of the analysis of the results of scientific research in this area, as well as an analysis of the specific situation in an educational institution and school monitoring data on bullying cases.

KARPOVSKY PERIOD” THE SCIENTIFIC ACTIVITY OF ACADEMICIAN A. N. FRUMKIN ( BASED ON THE MATERIALS OF THE R-16 FUND OF THE RUSSIAN STATE ARCHIVE IN SAMARA)

This article attempts to reveal, based on archival materials, the main directions of research activities of the outstanding scientist A. N. Frumkin (1895-1976) during His work at the L. ya.Karpov research Institute. It was at this time, from 1992 to 1946, that A. N. Frumkin worked his way up from the head of the Department of surface phenomena to the Deputy Director of the Institute for scientific work. The main directions of his research interests in the field of physical chemistry are shown. He paid special attention to the study of the surface properties of metals. In the circle of his interests included the study of adsorption phenomena. The "Frumkin isotherm" was developed, and the fundamental position about the zero charge potential was proved. A. N. Frumkin has repeatedly made scientific reports in leading scientific institutions in Germany, the USA, the Netherlands, and others. A. N. Frumkin's contribution to the development of electrochemistry, which is of great importance for both science and practice, was appreciated. His scientific work was highly appreciated by the government. Thus, it was during the "Karpov period" of A. N. Frumkin's scientific activity that the most important fundamental research was carried out, which for many years determined the directions of development of physical and chemical science, and an authoritative scientific school of electrochemistry was formed.
