What Matters Most? How to Find Joy at Work in Post-Acute and Long-Term Care

A Survey of Community Providers on Feeding Problems in Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Feeding problems, ranging from mild to severe, are common in children with autism spectrum disorder. We conducted a 15-item online survey of community providers to gather information on service demand and current treatment approaches for this clinical population. Respondents, speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, registered dietitians, and Board-Certified Behavior Analysts, were recruited via e-mail listservs, professional conferences, continuing education programs, social media and electronic newsletters. The survey included questions about professional discipline, years in practice, patient population served, feeding problem types, therapeutic approaches, and level of interest in parent-mediated interventions. A total of 541 community practitioners responded to the survey; 419 provided usable data. Across all providers, 97% (n = 406) reported seeing children with ASD and feeding problems. Of these, 90% (n = 367) offered treatment. Providers (n = 23) who did not treat feeding problems cited "insufficient training." Most common presenting problems included limited dietary variety, texture sensitivity, and disruptive mealtime behavior. Although treatment approaches varied across disciplines, 89.3% indicated openness to parent-mediated treatment. These results indicate a high demand for treatment of children with ASD and feeding problems across disciplines. Food selectivity was the most common problem. Treatment approaches varied across disciplines. Dissemination and implementation of evidence-based, parent-mediated intervention is warranted.

745 Caring for Infants, Centenarians, and Everything in the Middle

Abstract Introduction Age specific considerations are integral part of quality care. Several burn units care for all age groups in a single unit, needing additional resources and infrastructure to provide quality care for extremes of age. Methods An anonymous online survey was conducted among the multidisciplinary burn team members of a burn unit that cares for both pediatric and adults. Data for the last 4years found that 12-18% of all burn admissions were 2years or less, while 5-6% of burn admission were of over 75 years of age. Results 45 members responded to the survey, including 56 % RNs and the remaining included therapists, pharmacist, psychologist, social worker, child life specialist, and case manager. The results showed that team members felt more comfortable caring for geriatric patients than pediatrics. Staff members reported higher importance for having intubated pediatric patient with leverage of 1:1RN assignment as well as daily rounding by pediatric intensivist and pediatric pharmacist. Majority (73%) of respondent s reported good or excellent in their assessment, skill, knowledge, and communication ability for caring pediatric patients aged and 2 and below. Elements that reported to be helpful for caring extremes of age in the order of its importance were weekly multidisciplinary rounds, burn debriefs of selected cases, monthly performance improvement meetings/ follow ups, weekly psycho social rounds and journal clubs. Low volume high acuity patient's care was kept up to date through various interventions which were prioritized by the respondents in the order of age specific continuing education classes, professional conferences, simulation/ skills day, and journal clubs. Conclusions The current process shows satisfactory comfort level for most of the team members to care for all age groups. Availability of pediatric and geriatric specialty professionals along with sufficient supply of age specific equipment, and ample educational opportunities were noted by the respondents as the key to providing quality care for all age groups in a single setting. Applicability of Research to Practice The current model may be continued with sustainment of different specialty services, educational resources, and age- specific supplies and equipment.

Editorial Special Section: ‘Transitional Justice and Nature: A Curious Silence’

This Special Section of International Journal of Transitional Justice (IJTJ), ‘Transitional Justice and Nature: A Curious Silence,’ has its origins in extended discussions between the three thematic editors, with initial conversations occurring separately over several professional conferences evolving into collective discussions over shared concerns about the silence around environmental and ecological issues in the transitional justice field. In particular, we found that despite our relative differences across disciplinary perspectives (legal anthropology – international relations – human rights law) and geographic attention (Latin America – Asia – Europe), our respective research efforts pointed to interconnections between human and environmental and ecological concerns affecting transitional justice efforts in postconflict settings. We share the critical understanding that in dominant Euro-Western legal scholarship, the earth and the realm of the more-than-human are rendered visible and accessible to legal intervention, for the most part, only when these phenomena have been translated into the language of natural resources or a commodity with associated value systems embedded in markets and pricing systems. Conservation and environmental laws are often weak accommodations with the dominant transactional systems, bearing the footprint of (neo)colonial practices and property relations.

A Scientometric Review of Research Trends in Language Assessment Literacy

This study provides a scientometric review of language assessment literacy (LAL) research published in the Web of Science (WoS) core collection between 2008, when LAL was first indexed as a combined phrase, and 2021. Six comprehensive analyses were conducted utilizing CiteSpace: publication and cited trends, dual-map overlay, most cited papers, co-authorship, co-occurrence, and co-citation. Results showed that the annual publications have shown a fluctuating upward trend that has undergone three stages: the initial (2008–2012), fluctuated (2013–2017), and steadily increasing stages (2018–2021). Professional conferences in language assessment and testing have significantly contributed to these development stages and are closely related to stage-critical milestones. “Teacher” appears as one of the most frequently researched stakeholder groups, and research on other stakeholders, especially students, has increased. “Psychology” and “Education” are major areas for both citing and cited journals and provide a solid foundation for LAL research. However, the interdisciplinary nature of LAL research still leaves room for exploration. This study provides a reference point for future research by identifying trends in LAL research and comparing existing studies. Furthermore, when authors and author linkage networks are used to build a research network, multi-dimensional indicators should be considered to guarantee the completeness of the network.
