상담자의 전문직 정체성과 자기효능감이 소진에 미치는 영향: 수퍼비전 작업동맹의 조절된 매개효과

Objectives This study examined the mediating effect of counselor self-efficacy on the relationship between counselor professional identity and burnout and whether this mediating effect is moderated by the level of supervisory working alliance. Methods An online survey was conducted with a total of 421 counselors across country, and the data were analyzed with SPSS 26.0 and SPSS Process Macro. Descriptives, bivariate correlation, hierarchical multiple regression for mediation analysis and moderation analysis were conducted. Results First, counselor self-efficacy partially mediated the relationship between counselor professional identity and burnout. Second, the relationship between counselor professional alliance and self-efficacy was moderated by supervisory working alliance. Third, the mediation effect of counselor self-efficacy on the relationship between counselor professional identity and burnout was significantly differed by the level of supervisory alliance. Conclusions Based on the results, the moderated mediation effect of supervisory working alliance was found when counselor professional identity influenced burnout through counselor self-efficacy. This finding highlights the importance of counselor supervisory working alliance for preventing counselor burnout through promoting counselor professional identity and self-efficacy. Implications, limitations, and suggestions for future research are discussed.

Missed Opportunities for Intervening Early in Preschoolers with Developmental Concern: Perspectives From Head Start Parents, Teachers, and Healthcare Providers.

The purpose of this study was to discover the care meanings of facilitators and barriers to detection and intervention for developmental delay among Head Start preschool-aged children, as viewed by parents, teachers, and primary care providers. We used a qualitative focus group design and broad cultural lens to understand similarities and differences in family and professional care, as Head Start programs educate preschoolers living in poverty who are disproportionately from ethno-racial minoritized groups. We sought the perspectives of 15 Head Start parents equally representing Black, Latino(a), and White parents, 17 teachers, and 11 healthcare providers to discover facilitators and barriers to adherence with professional recommendations. We found that silos in professional communications, parent distrust, knowledge deficits, and stigma were barriers to obtaining developmental recommendations. Participants also identified missed opportunities to facilitate interagency coordination, parental advocacy of a child's developmental needs, and professional alliances to take collaborative actions for early identification and treatment. Furthermore, a subculture of poverty adversely influenced adherence to developmental recommendations, and ethno-racial biases affected Black and Latino(a) families' follow-through. Our findings highlight how the lack of coordination between sectors resulted in the dismissal of parental concerns or denial of services by 1 system or the other, thus, at the very least reducing the child's chances for earlier intervention and treatment. We also identified potential benefits to children when the barriers of poverty and ethnoracial bias are addressed by professionals with coordinated actions, and new systems are developed for sharing developmental screening results and partnering to coordinate care across the preschool and primary healthcare settings.

John Singer Sargent’s Portraits of Henry James as Windows into a Suppressed Queer Friendship

Abstract: With virtually all the thirty-four-year correspondence between Henry James and John Singer Sargent lost, Sargent’s four portraits of James yield intriguing clues to the interiority of these men’s relation. The three extant portraits hint that this suppressed queer friendship was both more and less than a monolithic professional alliance. All three exhibit both affinity and unease. The early portraits hint at James’s heavy influence and Sargent’s complex resistance to it. The two later portraits, especially the celebrated oil portrait of 1913, show a mature alliance that sheltered both men and confirmed them as masked queer allies in a repressive society.

Cross-country analysis of the effectiveness of commercialization of scientific research results

The objective of this research is to undertake a comparative analysis of methodologies for evaluating the efficacy of research commercialization across diverse nations, focusing particularly on the United States, Australia, Canada, South Korea, the European Union, and Kazakhstan. The study methodology involved a comparative analysis, commencing with an exhaustive examination of academic and practical resources to pinpoint key organizations involved in research commercialization within the specified countries. Subsequently, after the selection of countries and a systematic scrutiny of these organizations' activities, the methodology endorsed by the Alliance of Technology Transfer Professionals (ATTP) was employed to compare and assess commercialization efficiency across varied nations. Results of the study: the study outcomes unveiled common trends and effective assessment approaches, while also identifying deficiencies in Kazakhstan's commercialization evaluation system and offering recommendations for enhancement. The assessment of commercialization metrics in Kazakhstan is hindered by the paucity of comprehensive data, rendering comparisons with global benchmarks, including the ATTP methodology, challenging. However, concerted collaboration among governmental bodies, research institutions, and industrial stakeholders could surmount these hurdles and foster innovative entrepreneurship within the nation. The adoption of alternative research methodologies such as environmental functioning analysis models or regression analysis may enable a more profound evaluation of commercialization efficiency in Kazakhstan, notwithstanding data constraints.

“Kids are Kids”: Benevolent Ignorance and the Omission of Race in Developmental Justice Reform

The criminal culpability of juvenile offenders remains a controversial and contested issue in the legal and public arenas in the United States. Since the mid-2000s, juvenile crime has been reframed by SCOTUS as a problem of brain immaturity. This article interrogates the omission of race from this new discourse of immaturity. First, I show that an alliance of learned societies, scholars, policy experts, legal professionals, and philanthropic foundations, which I call the new child savers, strategically sowed doubt about the criminological evidence of “high-risk” offenders to ensure the success of this new discourse of immaturity. I introduce the concept of benevolent ignorance to explain how they strategically concealed this inconvenient knowledge to achieve the socially valued goal of “saving children” from harsh sentences, and to escape public controversies over the racial overtones of risk assessment tools. Second, using Mills’ s concept of white ignorance, I argue that progressive elites and scholars involved in juvenile justice reform have historically ignored the lived experiences of juveniles of color. Finally, I discuss how the discourse of brain immaturity perpetuates and reinforces a colorblind explanation of juvenile crime that ignores the role of race in young people's encounters with the justice system.

Abstract WP54: Design and Preliminary Results on an Educational Intervention to Foster Stroke Coordinator Engagement, Knowledge, and Job Satisfaction

Background: Stroke Coordinators (SC) are instrumental in overseeing the development, evaluation, and sustainability of processes that drive the Stroke Care System. However, there are many practice barriers that impact the SC role including time management, mentorship, education, and training. The aim of this study s to train SC throughout Alabama’s six EMS regions and evaluate whether training in certification in Stroke Nursing increases overall job satisfaction. Methods: This part of StrokeSTAT, a larger observational trial designed to evaluate the implementation of severity-based stroke triage across Alabama’s six EMS regions. Key elements of the intervention include partnerships with the Alabama Department of Public Health and the State’s professional multi-disciplinary association of health care professionals involved in the care of stroke patients (Alabama Stroke Alliance of Professionals, ASAP), bringing stroke symposia to each EMS region; providing SCs with a Stroke Certified Registered Nurse (SCRN) review course to encourage and inspire nurses caring for patients with acute stroke to sit for the exam; and reimbursement for successful certification. Results: At present, two regional courses have been offered with 27 Registered Nurses in attendance from 33 Stroke Centers. Evaluations (n=20) indicated that before the course, SCs were “slightly comfortable” (5%), “somewhat comfortable” (20%), “for the most part comfortable” (75%) with exam content. In the post-course evaluation, 100% of attendees responded, “the information in this activity will help me do my job.” Conclusions: Stroke care continues to rapidly evolve, and SC are often untrained for the role. The partnership with key stakeholder organizations, bringing the symposia to each region, and focusing on improving knowledge and preparation to sit for the SCRN exam were highly effective in engaging the Alabama SCs in the two EMS regions thus far. The symposia provided specialized knowledge for the practice of Stroke Nursing, and uniformly increased participant’s perception of their ability to perform their duties. Evaluation of impact of the different elements of this complex health intervention on stroke coordinator perception is ongoing.

Optimising the power of core resources used in Taiwanese controlled-environment mushroom industry business strategies through strategic alliances

Abstract The present study explored the associations among the core resources, strategic alliances, and business strategies of the Taiwanese controlled-environment mushroom industry. A total of 492 responses were collected, and the results support the hypothesised alliance-mediating model. The results indicate that core resources comprise four dimensions: organisational capabilities, individual capabilities, tangible assets, and intangible assets. The mushroom industry has two major types of strategic alliance, namely cost reduction and strengthening professional alliances, and the business strategies employed in the industry involve international market entry and focusing on domestic market operations. The results indicate that international market entry is directly influenced by cost reduction alliances and tangible assets, and indirectly influenced by organisational and individual capabilities. Whether an organisation focuses on its domestic market operations is directly affected by organisational capabilities, cost reduction alliances and intangible assets, and indirectly affected by organisational and individual capabilities.

Research on the Regional Cooperation Innovation Network of Universities in the Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Great Bay Area

As typical innovation organizations, the structure and efficiency of cooperation among universities’ innovation behaviors are important influencing factors for regional innovation sustainable development. In 2019, the Chinese government promulgated the “Outline of the Development Plan of The Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao Great Bay Area”, which directly promotes a sustainable cooperation network of universities in the Great Bay Area. This study used UCINET to visualize the cooperation network of universities in Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao based on the cooperation data generated by 35 universities in the Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Great Bay Area, jointly establishing 37 professional alliances that developed 888 cooperation ties from 2017 to 2022. The results show that the current cooperative network density of universities in the Great Bay Area is high (density = 0.746), but the cohesion trend is not significant (network centralization = 26.92%); a clear circle structure has been formed. The network exhibits a narrow shape at both ends and widens in the middle; the higher the hierarchical position of universities in the region, the more likely they are to enter the core cooperation network and establish more cooperation relationships. Universities in the marginal circles find it especially difficult to initiate cooperative relationships due to their disadvantageous position in terms of limited resources and a lack of administrative intervention. The current cooperation situation still has room for expansion.

An Environmental Scan of Advanced Practice Radiation Therapy in the United States: A PESTEL Analysis

In 2021, the Advanced Practice Radiation Therapy Working Group (APRTWG) was established in the United States (U.S.) as a grassroots alliance of multidisciplinary Radiation Oncology professionals - radiation therapists (RTTs), physicians, dosimetrists, and administrators - located across the country, interested in studying and establishing the Advanced Practice Radiation Therapist (APRT) level of practice in the U.S. The APRT model has shown success in the United Kingdom (U.K.), Canada, Australia, Singapore, and other countries, documenting the value of the APRT to the quality and advancement of clinical care. In the U.S., the APRTWG seeks to coordinate activities, align resources, and drive the national agenda forward to collectively develop and define novel models of care utilizing APRT in line with the evolving needs of patients and the radiation therapy profession. This environmental scan aims to examine the context of Radiation Oncology medical practice in the U.S. to inform pathways ahead for a proposed APRT model through a Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Environmental, and Legal (PESTEL) analysis. The international APRT role is evidence-based. Results from this PESTEL analysis indicate that RTTs working within an expanded practice scope can contribute to service delivery. This environmental scan highlights political, social, fiscal, and legal hurdles and opportunities for an APRT level of practice to overcome them.

Advancing science, technology and innovation for disaster risk reduction: The Kuala Lumpur Consensus on Disaster Risk Reduction

The Kuala Lumpur Consensus on Disaster Risk Reduction was the outcome of the 2020 Asia Pacific Science and Technology Conference for Disaster Risk Reduction (APSTCDRR), documenting renewed commitment to accelerate the implementation of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction in four priority areas, drawing on multi-disciplinary knowledge including geoscience. The 2020 APSTCDRR offered an opportunity for science-policy interfacing to enhance the appropriate role of science, technology and innovation, facilitate the inclusion of empowered young scientists, and accentuate the integration of risk from all perspectives into planning and development at all levels. Highlights of the 2020 APSTCDRR include the status of disaster risk reduction (DRR) in the Asia Pacific, and means of addressing systemic risk including Natural Hazards Triggering Technological Disasters (NATECH) and its associated shortcomings in the region. There was also focus on climate risk and local action spotlighting the Kuala Lumpur Multi-hazard Platform, as well as youth engagement in science and technology through U-INSPIRE Alliance, an alliance of young professionals in DRR. Many of the initiatives showcased in the 2020 APSTCDRR are of relevance to the geoscience community, to strengthen their role in DRR in Malaysia and the region.

Special Issue: From the Front Lines: The Direct Support Workforce Development and Reality

In this special issue we focus on topics related to the stability of the direct support workforce. In 2016, the American Association on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (AAIDD) and the National Alliance of Direct Support Professionals (NADSP) developed a joint position statement regarding the direct support professional (DSP) workforce. Part of this statement reads:Ameliorating barriers that impact the recruitment, undesirable working conditions, and attrition of DSPs could not be truer today, as the COVID-19 pandemic created enormous challenges in addressing the needs of DSP workers and, some may argue and as projected in the joint statement, turned the clock back on efforts to establish effective systems for DSP workers. Therefore, the purpose of this first of a two-part special issue is to facilitate conversation about factors affecting DSPs who serve people with IDD.As you will discover in the collection of articles in this issue, some difficulties of the DSP workforce existed prior to the COVID-19 pandemic (see Carter et al.; Layden et al.), and some difficulties became relevant during the pandemic (see Hall et al.). Other articles discuss promising supports for DSP workers that stem from the pandemic (see Ham et al.; Rodriguez et al.). Our hope is that this collection of articles will shape practice and policy that will be widely adopted to improve working conditions and reduce the turnover of DSP workers and move us closer to realizing the goals adopted by AAIDD and NADSP in their cause to support the DSP workforce.

Enabling positive practice environments for women in science and education with FIPWiSE toolkit

Positive practice environments (PPEs) support the recruitment and retention of employees, enable the delivery of high-quality work outcomes, and benefit society as a whole. It is necessary to provide equal rights, obligations, equal treatment, and opportunities for all genders according to their needs to achieve gender equity and PPEs in workplaces. FIP developed the FIPWiSE (the FIP women in science and education initiative) toolkit for positive practice environments for women in science and education to support and enable them by building on the World Health Professional Alliances (WHPA) PPE campaign. FIP is a founding member of the WHPA and used the toolkit as a basis to describe and identify factors that enable PPEs from a pharmaceutical science and pharmacy education perspective. The toolkit provides a set of possible solutions related to women in science and education for individuals, employers, institutions, and policymakers, as well as real-life examples, perspectives, and good practice implementations and suggestions from women from all around the world.

“I Find It Quite a Privilege to Be Involved in Their Lives”: A Multinational Qualitative Study of Program Directors’ Perspectives on Their Relationships with Residents

Phenomenon Program director (PD)-resident relationships are important in shaping resident experiences and educational outcomes. Yet, there is limited literature on the development or meaning of these relationships, particularly from the PD perspective. Through qualitative interviews, we explore how PDs navigate their role to develop and maintain relationships with their trainees, and elucidate how these relationships impact the PDs personally and professionally. Approach Qualitative study using individual semi-structured interviews of former and current PDs (n = 33) from multiple specialties and hospitals in accredited residency programs in Qatar, Singapore, and the United Arab Emirates. We used attachment theory and narrative analysis to investigate how PDs perceive and describe relationship building with their residents amidst tensions of familiarizing themselves with their new role. Findings PD-resident relationships are complex and multidimensional, shifting over time, changing patterns and evolving to respond to different contexts. PDs initially negotiate their own roles, while navigating their relationships with residents and other stakeholders to create their professional identities. PDs develop professional alliances, defining for the resident the profession and its expectations. As residents negotiate the various challenges of their training, the role of the PD emerges into one of providing emotional support and advocacy. The support and attachment are often enduring and extend beyond the period of residency training. Insights Our study examines the experiences of program directors as they negotiate complex educator-learner relationships. The PDs described roles that extended beyond their job description. Although all interviewees reported that the PD position was challenging, they focused on the rewarding aspects of the job and how their relationships helped sustain them through the difficulties. Through their reflections, the PDs described the personal satisfaction and benefits of their interactions with the residents, and how the engagement contributed to personal and professional success.

The Impact of Interpersonal Skills Training on the Transition to Radiotherapy Student Clerkship

Preparing students for clerkship in a radiation oncology setting requires complex, sensitive, and specific interpersonal skills training. Oncology patients undergoing radiation therapy treatment present with unique needs given the harrow of a cancer diagnosis. Although the radiation therapy profession's credentialing body requires interpersonal skills training, there is little research specific to radiotherapy student communication training across the globe. Searches for relevant literature were conducted and the following themes emerged: transitions to clinical training, value of interpersonal skills and value of interprofessional education. The majority of literature identified supported medical, nursing, physical therapy and physician's assistant education. Radiotherapy students often participate in the same undergraduate coursework with various health science disciplines, with a common goal of providing optimal patient care. This diverse classroom of radiation therapy, radiologic technology, and dosimetry students mimic the interdisciplinary team in radiation oncology, preparing students for clerkship in a safe and authentic environment. Interprofessional education serves as a vehicle to enhance the transition from the classroom to the clinic while simulating the alliance of healthcare professionals required for team-based care. Interpersonal skills training specific to radiation therapy education is lacking and further limited to research conducted in Canada, New Zealand, and Australia. The gap in research in the United States provides many areas of opportunity.

Katholieke psychotherapie in naoorlogs Nederland

Abstract Catholic psychotherapy in the post-war Netherlands. Boundaries, gender, and authority in the Terruwe Affair In Dutch historiography the Terruwe Affair is at the heart of an explanatory narrative which presents the professionalization of religion-based mental health as part of a liberation of Catholics from the clerically-enforced moral regulations and requirements of their Church. The affair culminated in an official warning by the Holy See in 1956 concerning moral standards in the treatment of mental health issues. This warning implicitly identified the academically-trained psychiatrist and psychotherapist Anna Terruwe (1911-2004) as a morally questionable practitioner. This article explores the manner in which Terruwe as a medical professional sought clerical and ecclesiastical approval for her psychotherapeutic practice. She embedded her psychotherapy in an ecclesiastically-approved theoretical framework, forged professional alliances with influential clerics, and attempted to enhance her professional status by appealing to divine authority. To her mind, her psychotherapeutic practice served the salvation of souls. This approach threatened to blur the already diffuse boundaries between psychotherapy and pastoral care, as her alliances with influential clerics challenged inner-church authority relationships based on differences of gender and state in life. This explains more clearly the official warning issued in 1956, but complicates at the same time earlier historiographical evaluations of Terruwe as a ‘mental liberator’ since she clearly tried to position herself as a psychotherapist operating under the tutelage of her church.

Indonesian journalistic competitions: tribute or threat for press practice

This research aims to Investigate journalists’ understanding toward glittering generalities practice - positive and good coverage of the caused by the Journalistic contests, the prices are attracting them, Reviews their motives to Participate, and their beliefs about ethics al thing. It is also retrieve how the chief editor, as a decision maker in the mass media taking his responsibility on the glittering news. This research uses a case study method by conducting indepth interviews on journalists, editors, and professional the alliance to collect the data and analyse it based on critical paradigm. The results show that journalist believe that competition is good, and there is no violation as long as the stick to the press code of conduct, but for chief editors and professional alliance, they begin to aware the damage of the contest. The findings of this work will be valuable to develop critical thinking of press workers and promote awareness to the society to control the media practice.

Sociopolitical testing discourses in elementary teachers’ talk about reading assessment

Purpose The purpose of this work is to describe the current sociopolitical context and complex consequences surrounding elementary literacy education in one Midwestern US state and consider how power works through language. Design/methodology/approach Using qualitative methods and critical discourse analysis as a theory and method, surveys and interview data from teachers, administrators and parents, policy documents and other artifacts were analyzed and described to explain the sociopolitical climate. Findings Using Fairclough (2015) and Gee’s (2015) tools, the authors identified the discourses of deficiency, efficiency and gatekeeping in the data. Foucault’s ideas about governmentality and regimes of truth are used to explain the ways teachers took up the policies and resisted them. Research limitations/implications The authors argue that a new testing regime is on the move, and more unity and critique by elementary and secondary teachers and administrators will be important for restoring and sustaining quality literacy instruction and decision-making in all classrooms. Practical implications Continued research is needed to understand how particular reading assessments exacerbate and perpetuate the ranking and sorting in schools and the loss and struggle children face when they are denied literacy experiences that validate their lives outside of school and give meaning and purpose to reading in school. Originality value As the reality for secondary education language arts teachers begins to shift to a more restrictive curriculum, a loss of academic freedom and frequent testing, the authors see an opportunity for new professional alliances to form in support of a complex theory of literacy.

Abstract 27: The Georgia Stroke Curriculum (GSC): Provides Free Stroke Education to Healthcare Professionals

Background: In 2015 the Georgia Stroke Professional Alliance (GA-SPA) supported the launch of a free educational platform, the Georgia Stroke Curriculum (GSC). This up-to date, evidence based, peer reviewed stroke education is an alternative to other more costly options. Statewide provider and instructor classes were developed. GSC is a four module, didactic, interactive course focused on the full continuum of care of the acute stroke patient. GSC is peer reviewed by stroke content experts Purpose: To expand free state-wide education to all health care professionals committed to improving the quality of stroke care through evidence based stroke education provided by clinical experts, who are trained and provided the latest evidence in stroke care Methods: GSC was developed by experienced stroke professionals with an extensive background in neuroscience and stroke care. The three different programs are advanced, core and instructor classes. Modules are peer reviewed by a consortium of stroke content experts, including stroke neurologists, physiatrist, emergency room, neurology, flight and rehabilitation nurses, case managers, stroke coordinators, quality specialists, and paramedics. The initial course was proctored by a stroke neurologist and stroke coordinators. Additional pilot classes were completed at comprehensive, primary, and remote treatment stroke centers Results: GSC is an expanding educational platform for free professional stroke education for healthcare professionals that is evidenced based, cutting edge with a regional approach, inclusive of feedback from providers, hospitals and healthcare systems. As of August 2016 nearly 70 GSC instructors were trained statewide along with over 500 healthcare professionals. The education has improved professional stroke knowledge as evidenced by an average score of 60% on the pretest to 90% on the posttest Conclusion: GSC serves as a free subject matter resource on stroke education to healthcare professionals with a focus on the full continuum of stroke care. The state-wide initiative has improved the knowledge for healthcare professionals in the region. GSC expands the reach of a free, current, evidenced based program as an effective method to enhance stroke education throughout the state
