A qualitative study of motivation to self-management in pediatric diabetes health care consultations with adolescents with type 1 diabetes.

Background. The impact of health care professionals on the motivation for self-management in adolescents with type 1 diabetes has been highlighted as important. It is, however, not well understood how health care practitioners can help increasing motivation to self-management. The aim of the study was to investigate how practitioners can motivate their patients to self-management in consultation and how adolescents with type 1 diabetes experienced that consultation could facilitate motivation to self-management. Methods. The study triangulated participant observations of 11 consultations at a pediatric health care clinic and 10 interviews of the adolescents (age 15-17) about their experiences of consultations. The analysis showed five categories: 1. Consultation dialogue, 2. Roles in treatment, 3. Assuming consultation-facilitated responsibility for self-management, 4. Relationship in treatment, and 5. Consultation context. Results. Overall findings showed that the adolescent’s developmental process of becoming autonomous in relation to self-management was influenced by consultations, and that the need of feeling related was experienced as valued by the adolescents. Conclusions. The feeling of relatedness and development of autonomy were experienced as important for how consultations could facilitate motivation to self-management in 15-17-year-olds and may be fundamental to adolescents’ experience of competence in relation to self-management.

Solidarity of Batak Ethnic Community in the Tuladenggi Village, Dungingi District, Gorontalo City

This study aims to find out how Batak community solidarity forms in Gorontalo City. The existence of the Batak tribe is widespread in every area of Gorontalo City. Batak tribes come to Gorontalo with different purposes, one of which is to try their luck. Even though the Batak tribe lives separately, they always have moments to gather. The Batak ethnic community in Gorontalo is known as Saroha and Batagor Marsada. The method used in this research is qualitative with a descriptive approach. While data collection is done through observation, interviews, and documentation, The results of the study show that the form of solidarity possessed by two (two) communities from the Batak tribe who are overseas in Gorontalo City is a form of mechanical solidarity. This can be seen clearly with the members of the Saroha and Batagor Marsada communities, where they still carry out and preserve the values, norms, and traditional activities of their ancestral traditions. When they know that they are one ethnicity, then they lower their feelings of individuality and their sense of ego within themselves. They prefer to help each other among Batak ethnic groups, and what forms the solidarity of the two Batak ethnic communities in Tuladenggi Village, Dungingi District, and Gorontalo City is the spirit of regionalism and primordialism. Second, feelings of kinship and empathy Third, togetherness. Fourth, expand the network.

Second language learning role-play: effects of patient and doctor roles on motivation and competence.

Role-playing has motivated foreign language learners for decades. In doctor-patient medical consultation role-plays, the doctor role has always been considered an important learning opportunity, whilst the patient role remained obscured. Our study, therefore, had a dual focus. We first explored how intrinsic motivation changes medical second-language (L2) learning through the lens of self-determination theory. We subsequently examined if playing the role of the patient provides additional value to medical L2 learning. We performed a mixed-methods study using a one-group pretest-posttest design. Participants were 15 student volunteers learning medical Dutch through peer role-play in medical consultations. Students completed a questionnaire before and after the course that measured changes in their intrinsic motivation to experience stimulation (IMES), feeling of relatedness, and feeling of competence. We also measured students' competence through a peer-rated checklist and the final course grades. At the end of the course, the students participated in semi-structured interviews to discuss their experience acting as patients. The data were subjected to the Wilcoxon signed-rank test and a thematic analysis. The pre- and post-questionnaires revealed that students' IMES as well as their feeling of relatedness increased. Their self-perceptions, feeling of competence, peer assessments, and final course grades demonstrated that students were competent in medical L2. Our thematic analysis led to the identification of five themes of the role-play exercise for medical L2 learning: (1) motivational experience, (2) supportive peer interaction, (3) setting up a role-play environment for medical L2 learning, (4) utilizing the patient role to benefit medical L2 learning, and (5) a novel patient perspective on the doctor's role. Our study found that role-play, by enhancing students' intrinsic motivation, feeling of relatedness, and competence development, aids the medical L2 learning process. Interestingly, playing a patient role in medical consultation was also found to support this process. We welcome future controlled experiments to confirm the positive impact of playing the role of the patient in medical consultation.

Analisis Tahapan Konflik Pilkada Kabupaten Sumbawa Tahun 2020

This research is to explain the stages of the 2022 Sumbawa Regency Pilkada conflict. The method used is a qualitative method with a case study approach. The data were obtained from the narrative of communication conversations through social media (facebook) which discussed support for the figures of the two Sumbawa regent candidate pairs. The data analysis technique that can be used in analyzing qualitative data is thematic analysis. The results showed that the pre-conflict stage was the initial stage of the conflict stage, this conflict was triggered by the issue of the 2020 Sumbawa Regency Pilkada. The conflict began to open up when the appearance of Novi, the governor's sister as a candidate for Deputy Regent, was claimed as a form of political dynasty, coupled with the issue during the governor's campaign he helped Mo-Novi by providing livestock assistance to voters. Meanwhile, the escalation of the conflict was triggered by a comment by a Mo-Novi supporter who insulted Jarot-Mohlis and his supporters as Dogs because the Jarot-Mohlis pair did not accept their defeat. Meanwhile, as a result of the conflict, there has been no attempt to meet the candidate pairs, supporters have not yet greeted each other because of different choices and the feeling of kinship is increasingly stretched. In post-conflict, there is no attempt at reconciliation process, conflicts are reconciled naturally along with the end of the election period.

Stretched kinship: Queer female university students negotiating family and identity

For lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer + people, family and peer support are often important in their identity development during early adulthood. Young queer adults who have moved out of the family to pursue university education often seek out a sense of community and a feeling of kinship with other LGBTQ+ individuals as they journey through their identity transition. Based on semi-structured interviews with eight self-identified queer female students in a public university in New Zealand, this study examines their experience of ‘stretched kinship’ – moving out from the family (‘leaving home’), building peer connections in shared student accommodations (‘making home’) and developing more independent identities (‘coming out’) in relation to their original and alternative families. This paper helps us make sense of young queer people’s experiences transitioning from the family to university towards independence and adulthood.

The Integration Resources of Refugees and Life Satisfaction: Evidence from the City of Vienna

Using data from a survey of refugees from Afghanistan, Syria, Iran, and Iraq in Vienna, Austria, most of whom arrived in 2015, we employ path analysis to study the effects of various integration resources on life satisfaction. In addition, we consider sociodemographic effects. We find that refugees who scored higher on host-country-specific language proficiency, social contacts, and a feeling of relatedness have significantly higher levels of life satisfaction. Origin-country-specific integration resources are not significantly related. Our findings imply that opportunities in the host country are crucial for a satisfying integration process of refugees.

Habib Ahmed's maqāṣid sharī`ah concept on cooperative regulations in Indonesia

This article discussed Habib Ahmed's maqāṣid sharī`ah concept on Islamic Financial Institutions (IFIs) contracts, regarding the dualism of cooperative regulations in Indonesia between sharia and non-sharia-based cooperatives. In initiating the NIE (New Institutional Economics) approach for IFIs, Habib Ahmed emphasized the vital role of embeddedness as a culture rooted in the knowledge system. This embeddedness is the starting point of IFIs adaptation. These informal institutions then influence the formation of formal institutions and are followed by institutional forms of organization. Finally, the transaction products are in line with the organizational form. In other words, according to Habib Ahmed, if the adaptation and transaction of the IFIs start from this stage, then the product will be entirely in line with the proper Islamic ontology and epistemology. This qualitative library research focused on the reality of cooperatives in Indonesia, assessed from Habib Ahmed's perspective. This study concluded that Indonesia's economy still does not represent the goal of its constitutional economy with a feeling of kinship and mutualistic organization, such as cooperatives. In addition, its significant economic growth, which places it in the top twenty countries (G-20) in Gross Domestic Product (GDP), is not inclusive.

Insights for Educational Practice from a Thematic Analysis of Student Experiences with Speculative Design Mini-Projects about Personal Issues

In 2020, we gave a large-scale first-year informatics course an assignment to speculatively design hypothetical solutions for issues they were experiencing due to social distancing measures during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this paper, we present a speculative design mini-project, then analyse student feedback and present insights about applying speculative design mini-projects around personal issues and in a large-scale technology education context. Our findings indicate that students had strong emotional experiences throughout the process and gained deeper insights into both design and the issues they were engaging with. Through peer reviews, students found new perspectives and feelings of relatedness in the face of shared hardships. From this, we summarise learnings for teaching practice about 1) peer review as a tool for feedback loops and discussions, 2) safety and student well-being when addressing personally experienced issues, 3) abridged design processes for trans-disciplinary competency, and 4) fostering safe spaces for creative vulnerability.

Social relationships and the importance of community-based fitness programs (CBFP)

ABSTRACT Identifying opportunities for social interaction is key in addressing those at risk of social isolation. Drawing from focus groups with 55 women over the age of 60, this brief report outlines how this community-based fitness program (CBFP) acts as a conduit for social relationships, fosters a sense of belonging, and has social benefit for both active and passive participants. Study participants expressed feelings of kinship within the routine of scheduled classes and group culture. The need to further explore the social impact of CBFPs and other activities without a primary social focus play in ameliorating social isolation are discussed.

Fostering equity in a multicultural and multilingual classroom through cooperative learning

ABSTRACT This paper presents a programme designed to deepen knowledge regarding diversity and to sustain equality and equity in participation during class activities in high sociolinguistic diversity classrooms. We investigated a four-stage programme integrating all students’ heritage languages in cooperative school activities in one 4th grade class in the French-speaking canton of Geneva in Switzerland. Activities that the teacher engaged in included: a) activities devoted to openness to others, b) activities devoted to linguistic diversity, c) activities devoted to cultural diversity, d) cooperative activities, relying on heritage languages and personal family stories. The three first stages aimed to help students feel accepted and comfortable when participating in multilingual cooperative activities. Feedback from the teacher, students and parents indicated that this programme found its place in the regular curriculum and participants appreciated it. This programme also improved students’ sense of belonging to the class and a feeling of relatedness.

Positive Design for Children with Atopic Dermatitis—Enhanced Problem-Solving and Possibility-Driven Approach in the Context of Chronic Disease

Since the 1960s, atopic dermatitis has seen a steady increase in prevalence in developed countries. Most often, the onset begins at an early age and many patients are very young children. Due to their young age, their parents are forced to take over handling of the disease. As a consequence, atopic dermatitis places a high burden not only on affected children, but also on their parents and siblings, limiting human flourishing of a whole family. Therefore, the described research area calls for a possibility-driven approach that looks beyond mere problem-solving while building on existing support possibilities and creating new ones. This paper presents atopi as a result of such a possibility-driven approach. It incorporates existing patient education and severity scoring into an extensive service, adding new elements to turn necessary practices into joyful experiences, to create feelings of relatedness and to increase perceived self-efficacy, thus is suitable to enable human flourishing.

A qualitative study on factors influencing the situational and contextual motivation of medical specialists.

ObjectivesThe aim was to investigate which factors influence the situational motivation of medical specialists and how situational and contextual motivation affect one another. MethodsA qualitative design was used, and a constructivist approach was adopted with the Self-Determination Theory of motivation as a framework. Twenty-two medical specialists from three medical centers in the Netherlands were recruited through convenience, snowball and purposive sampling and observed for two days each. At the end of the second observation day, a semi-structured interview was conducted. Data were transcribed and coded in an open manner. Themes were finalized through discussion and consensus. ResultsTwo-hundred and fifty hours of observation data together with the interview data identified that medical specialists experience six main themes influencing their situational motivation during a workday. Technical issues are influencing motivation negatively factors. Working with colleagues can be both a motivating factor and influence motivation negatively, e.g., filling in for each other through feelings of relatedness was motivating. Being in control of one’s own planning through feelings of autonomy was motivating. Patient care, especially in combination with teaching, stimulated specialists’ motivation. ConclusionsThe results indicate that factors influencing motivation negatively are mainly tasks and organizational processes that distract from patient care or that compromise the quality of care. When optimizing the work environment of medical specialists, autonomous motivation and continuing professional development are stimulated. These, in turn, can improve the quality of patient care and wellbeing of specialists.

Group cohesion and relatedness as predictors of self-determined motivation and burnout in adolescent female athletes

ObjectivesAthlete burnout is the result of a maladaptive sport experience that is influenced by the social context. A salient social contextual feature of youth sport is group cohesion. Cohesion may link with burnout through its association with relatedness and self-determined motivation. The current study was designed to test a model in which cohesion associates with burnout by way of relatedness and self-determined motivation. DesignCross-sectional survey-based study. MethodFemale youth soccer athletes (N = 276; M age = 14.9 years, SD = 1.3) completed measures of task and social cohesion, relatedness, self-determined motivation, and burnout. ResultsTask (β = 0.26) and social (β = 0.59) cohesion associated with perceptions of relatedness. In turn, relatedness positively linked with self-determined motivation (β = 0.38), which in turn negatively associated with global burnout (β = −0.79). The indirect effects from task cohesion to burnout (β = −0.08) and from social cohesion to burnout (β = −0.18) by way of relatedness and self-determined motivation were significant. ConclusionsResults support the proposed model whereby greater cohesion associates with an athlete’s feelings of relatedness, which links to more self-determined motivation and, consequently, lower burnout perceptions. Future research is needed to assess support for causality of these links and explore how contextual factors such as the teammate-created motivational climate contributes to group cohesion and relatedness perceptions within this burnout model.

Examining physical education experiences at integrated and residential schools for students with visual impairments

This study examined how individuals who experienced physical education in both integrated and residential school settings viewed their physical education experiences. A retrospective interpretative phenomenological approach (IPA) was used, and five adults with visual impairments (aged 20–35 years; three males, two females) were enrolled in this study. Data collection included semi-structured telephone interviews and reflective interview notes, which were analyzed thematically using a three-step process. Two interrelated themes emerged from the data. In the first theme – feelings about being included and excluded – participants described that across school settings, inclusivity and exclusivity were central to how they understood their physical education experiences. The second theme – support needs met at residential schools – described how perceived teacher support and feelings of relatedness with peers were identified as important factors related to their willingness to explore the environment and engage in physical education curricula.

How medical students’ perceptions of instructor autonomy-support mediate their motivation and psychological well-being

Purpose: Medical student well-being is an increasing concern in medical education. Understanding the role instructors and programs have in supporting well-being is an important puzzle piece. This study explores the relationship between medical students’ perceptions of instructor autonomy-support, motivation, and well-being. Using self-determination theory, we aim to provide a practical framework through which medical instructors can support student autonomy and well-being in the learning environment.Materials and methods: Students from the University of Saskatchewan completed a survey measuring perceptions of the learning climate (LC) (instructor autonomy-support), satisfaction/frustration of basic motivational needs (autonomy, competence, relatedness), and psychological well-being. Multiple linear regression was used to determine whether age, gender, and year of study affected students’ well-being, before a mediation model was tested to assess the direct effect of the LC and indirect effects of students’ basic need fulfillment on their well-being.Results: The response rate was 183/400 (46%). Higher ratings of autonomy-support significantly predicted better student well-being. This was mediated completely by students’ feelings of basic need fulfillment. Relatedness satisfaction contributed most to ratings of instructor autonomy-support.Conclusions: Cultivating autonomy-support for medical students is critical to their well-being. Learning environments that optimize autonomy-support will also support students’ feelings of relatedness and competence.

Fostering Motivation When Virtually Mentoring Online Doctoral Students

Online learning in higher education has become commonplace as more working adults and nontraditional aged students return to pursue advanced degrees. Graduate education, specifically, has grown in recent years (Allen & Seaman, 2014), including doctoral degrees. Pursuing a doctoral degree requires writing a culminating paper (e.g., dissertation, doctoral study, capstone study). Writing and conducting such a study requires support and mentorship from faculty of the program. Establishing a positive relationship in which the student feels supported by the mentor is crucial to encourage dialogue and motivation throughout the process. In this case study, online doctoral students’ perceptions of autonomy, competence, and relatedness were investigated, along with how these connections with their dissertation chair influenced students’ motivation to make progress. Results show that feelings of relatedness were crucial to the students’ motivation to continue in the doctoral study and dissertation process. Also, internal locus of control motivated students to complete their doctoral study and dissertation.

Jim Crow Democracy: The U.S. South and Racialized Policy-Making in the Aftermath of World War II

Segregationist politicians from the U.S. South played key roles in devising plans for the reconstruction of Germany, the Marshall Plan and the drafting of displaced persons legislation. This article discusses how their Jim Crow ideology calibrated the global and domestic order that emerged from the ashes of World War II. Southern advocates of this ideology dealt with national and foreign issues from a regional perspective, which was based on the protection of agricultural interests and a nascent military-industrial complex, but above all, on the defence of white supremacy. In general, they followed a lenient course toward Germany after the country’s defeat in World War II, for various reasons. The shared experience of post-war reconstruction, containment of communism and feelings of kinship between the Germanic people and the Anglo-Saxons of the U.S. South were some of the motives why many white southerners did not endorse punitive measures against the former enemy. For them, an obvious connection existed between the local and the global, which strongly reverberated in the formation of U.S. foreign and domestic policy in the post-war world. The rebuilding of Germany and the fugitive question were shaped on the basis of a Jim Crow blueprint.

20. Using Latent Class Analysis To Understand The Complex Relationship Between Caregiver-Adolescent Relationships And Maltreatment

Approximately 900,000 adolescents are victims of maltreatment annually. Adolescents who experience maltreatment are at particular risk for negative emerging adulthood outcomes, such as homelessness, unemployment, substance use, and especially difficulty with relationships. Maltreatment can impact interpersonal relationships through disrupting an adolescent’s relationship with their caregiver and may have long-term relational effects. Furthermore, interpersonal responses to caregivers following maltreatment during adolescence are complex, varied, and have developmental significance. The purpose of this study was to identify typical profiles of caregiver-adolescent relationship quality among adolescents with a history of a Child Protective Services (CPS) investigation during adolescence. Secondary data came from the first wave of the second National Survey of Child and Adolescent Well-Being (NSCAW II), a nationally representative longitudinal cohort of children and adolescents in the United States who were subjects of child abuse and/neglect investigations in 2008-2009. Latent class analysis (LCA) with continuous and categorical indicators was conducted to identify the profiles among adolescents (ages 14-17.5 years; mean 15.5, SD 0.7) from NSCAW II (n=364). The latent construct of caregiver-adolescent relationship quality was represented by two subconstructs: 1) caregiver-adolescent relationship, which included the adolescent’s feelings of relatedness, closeness, quality time, and open communication with caregiver and 2) maltreatment, which included the adolescent’s reports of having serious arguments with caregiver about behavior, non-violent discipline, verbal aggression, mild physical assault, and severe/very severe physical assault in the past year. Covariates included the adolescent’s age, adolescent’s race/ethnicity, and adolescent’s gender. All analyses were weighted to account for the complex survey design and unequal sampling probability. Four latent classes of caregiver-adolescent relationship quality were identified based on model fit statistics: positive relationship without maltreatment (39%), positive relationship with moderate maltreatment (30%), negative relationship with severe maltreatment (27%), and negative relationship without maltreatment (4%). The two classes with an overall negative relationship had similar relatedness and closeness means, but differed in the amount of quality time, where those that experienced severe maltreatment had more quality time together. The two classes with an overall positive relationship differed in the presence/absence of maltreatment, except they had similar proportions of having a serious argument about behavior. Findings provide a more nuanced understanding of caregiver-adolescent relationship quality for adolescents that have been subjects of maltreatment investigations. A third of the sample reported positive caregiver-adolescent relationships despite recent maltreatment which should be explored further especially given the implications for interpersonal functioning. This study highlights the heterogeneity in this vulnerable population and underscores the need for future work to understand the type of maltreatment, placement type, and caregiver characteristics that predict membership in each class.

Gamification in Action: Theoretical and Practical Considerations for Medical Educators.

Gamification involves the application of game design elements to traditionally nongame contexts. It is increasingly being used as an adjunct to traditional teaching strategies in medical education to engage the millennial learner and enhance adult learning. The extant literature has focused on determining whether the implementation of gamification results in better learning outcomes, leading to a dearth of research examining its theoretical underpinnings within the medical education context. The authors define gamification, explore how gamification works within the medical education context using self-determination theory as an explanatory mechanism for enhanced engagement and motivation, and discuss common roadblocks and challenges to implementing gamification.Although previous gamification research has largely focused on determining whether implementation of gamification in medical education leads to better learning outcomes, the authors recommend that future research should explore how and under what conditions gamification is likely to be effective. Selective, purposeful gamification that aligns with learning goals has the potential to increase learner motivation and engagement and, ultimately, learning. In line with self-determination theory, game design elements can be used to enhance learners' feelings of relatedness, autonomy, and competence to foster learners' intrinsic motivation. Poorly applied game design elements, however, may undermine these basic psychological needs by the overjustification effect or through negative effects of competition. Educators must, therefore, clearly understand the benefits and pitfalls of gamification in curricular design, take a thoughtful approach when integrating game design elements, and consider the types of learners and overarching learning objectives.
