Family and Staff Cooperation in Early Childhood Special Education

Introduction: Early childhood is a critical period for supporting children's development. The role of families and the staff responsible for the services is crucial in supports to be provided in the development of children with special needs. In this study, stakeholders' cooperation processes were examined in the context of family-staff and staff-staff cooperation. Method: The participants are 12 staff and seven parents at a special education center. The data of the study, which was conducted in the phenomenological design of qualitative research methods, were obtained with the semi-structured interview technique and analyzed with content analysis. Findings: Findings were discussed under the titles cooperation experiences, family participation and needs, early childhood special education, staff, institution features, opinion and suggestions. Six main themes and 18 subthemes were reached. Discussion: The findings of the study were consistent with the findings of the studies examining the cooperation process in special education services in the literature. Physical features of the institution, its operation in accordance with legal regulations and the staff's efficiency are effective in meeting families' needs of information and social support. Families need cooperation with staff expert in different fields in the process of starting education of children with special needs after early diagnosis and evaluation. The role of families and the directors and staff of the special education institutions are critical in maintaining the cooperation. Parents' needs such as information, social and psychological support must be met in line with the family participation. Family participation should be supported through accessible digital-based cooperation programs, professional skills of staff must be developed, and the physical features of institutions must be improved.

"I Thought It Was Better to Be Safe Than Sorry": Factors Influencing Parental Decisions on HPV and Other Adolescent Vaccinations for Students with Intellectual Disability and/or Autism in New South Wales, Australia.

The uptake of human papilloma virus (HPV) and other adolescent vaccinations in special schools for young people with disability is significantly lower than in mainstream settings. This study explored the factors believed to influence parental decision making regarding vaccine uptake for students with intellectual disability and/or on the autism spectrum attending special schools in New South Wales, Australia, from the perspective of all stakeholders involved in the program. Focus groups and interviews were conducted with 40 participants, including parents, school staff, and immunisation providers. The thematic analysis identified two themes: (1) appreciating diverse parental attitudes towards vaccination and (2) educating parents and managing vaccination questions and concerns. While most parents were described as pro-vaccination, others were anti-vaccination or vaccination-hesitant, articulating a marked protectiveness regarding their child's health. Reasons for vaccine hesitancy included beliefs that vaccines cause autism, concerns that the vaccination may be traumatic for the child, vaccination fatigue following COVID-19, and assumptions that children with disability will not be sexually active. Special school staff regarded the vaccination information pack as inadequate for families, and nurses described limited educational impact resulting from minimal direct communication with parents. More effective communication strategies are needed to address vaccine hesitancy among parents with children with disability.

Free Text as Part of Electronic Health Record Orders: Context or Concern?

Background When placing orders into the electronic health record (EHR), prescribers often use free-text information to complement the order. However, the use of these free-text fields can result in patient safety issues. The objective of our study was to develop a deeper understanding of the conditions under which free-text information, or special instructions, are used in the EHR and the patient safety issues associated with their use, through an analysis of patient safety event (PSE) reports. Methods We identified 847 PSE reports submitted to the Pennsylvania Patient Safety Reporting System (PA-PSRS) between January 1, 2021, and December 31, 2022; this dataset was reduced to 677 after controlling for oversampling from particular facilities. After limiting to reports that mentioned the terms “special instructions,” “order instructions,” “order comments,” or “special comments,” we analyzed a total of 329 reports. A physician and human factors expert independently reviewed the reports and assigned each a code from the following categories: general care process, medication class, information expressed in the special instruction, special instruction issue, department or staff for which special instruction was intended, and whether the error reached the patient. Results Almost three quarters of the special instruction reports were related to Medication (n=233 of 329, 70.8%), followed by Laboratory/Blood Bank (n=54, 16.4%), and Radiology (n=23, 7.0%). Medication classes most frequently associated with special instructions included infectious disease medications (n=51 of 230, 22.2%), antithrombotic/antithrombotic reversal agents (n=32, 13.9%), and nutritional/electrolytes/intravenous fluids (n=32, 13.9%). Nearly one quarter each of medication-related special instructions were about timing (n=58 of 233, 24.9%) and dosing (n=54, 23.2%); most about laboratory/blood bank were related to the site of the blood draw (n=33 of 54, 61.1%), and many involving radiology were related to radiology/echocardiography instructions (n=16 of 23, 69.6%). The most frequent issues associated with special instructions were containing information contradictory to the order or other information (n=62 of 329, 18.8%); being confusing, incorrect, or used incorrectly (n=58, 17.6%); and not seen (n=25, 7.6%), not viewable (n=11, 3.3%), or instructions absent (n=11, 3.3%). In more than half of the reports, special instructions were intended for nursing staff (n=184 of 329, 55.9%), followed by pharmacy (n=49, 14.9%), radiology (n=21, 6.4%), and laboratory/blood bank (n=20, 6.1%). The error reached the patient in roughly three quarters (n=243 of 329, 73.9%) of the reports reviewed. Conclusion Special instructions are frequently used to provide additional context about medication orders and laboratory and radiology procedures and are often intended for nurses and pharmacists. However, these instructions can result in errors and may cause patient harm. Based on our analysis, we provide EHR design strategies and policies and protocols to address patient safety issues associated with free text to enable safer and more resilient care delivery.

Evaluating a Novel Disability Education and Awareness Event for Health Professions Trainees

Abstract: Background: People with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) are at high risk for unmet health care needs and face barriers to equitable care, yet few health professions students receive adequate training to meet these needs. Objectives: An interactive panel discussion with Special Olympics Pennsylvania (SOPA) athletes and staff was planned and implemented so that health professions students/trainees would gain knowledge of IDD, health barriers, SOPA resources, and volunteer opportunities. Methods: Panelists included two SOPA athletes and their mentors; questions solicited responses about personal health care experiences (Fall 2019). Attendees completed a mixed-methods post-event survey capturing event satisfaction, reflections, and interest in learning more about patients with IDD. Results: Sixty individuals attended, and 43 (72%) completed post-event evaluation. Attendees reported high satisfaction (88%), desire for future trainings (100%), and interest in learning about communicating (88%), providing care (88%), and addressing IDD health barriers (91%). Conclusions: Collaborative community panels could be effective in engaging health care students in discussion about caring for patients with IDD.

Islamic Law, the State, and Human Rights: The Contestation of Interfaith Marriage Discourse on Social Media in Indonesia

This study aimed at explaining the contestation of interfaith marriage discourse on social media, specifically on Instagram. The issue of interfaith marriage was quickly responded by social media users, not only by posting on their own accounts, but also by commenting on those posts of other people’s accounts. This study attempted to map Instagram media users’ comments on posts about interfaith marriage and to see the contestation of these comments in the context of the discourse on Islamic law, the state, and human rights in Indonesia. Qualitative research method was used in conducting this study. Data were collected from netizens’ comments on the issue of interfaith marriage, specifically the issue of interfaith marriage conducted by a member of Presidential Special Staff, the District Court’s decision on granting the interfaith marriage, and the Supreme Court’s circular on interfaith marriage. These comments were randomly selected and then analyzed using qualitative content analysis methods. This study found that: first, there were two response models for social media users when commenting on the issue of interfaith marriage on Instagram, they were the responses of acceptance and rejection. The narrative of the comments that accepted the idea of interfaith marriage emphasized human rights, diversity, freedom, and criticized the state’s involvement in private matters. Meanwhile, the narrative of comments that rejected the idea of interfaith marriage mostly refered to the provisions of Islamic law and state law. Second, based on these two response models, there was a contestation over the discourse of interfaith marriage in the context of Islamic law, the state, and human rights. However, this contestation was not based on a deep understanding of human rights and legal discourse. This contestation might have an impact on the public’s lack of legal understanding of interfaith marriage and had the potential to cause conflict on social media. This study confirmed that contestation of legal discourse came not only from people who had authority, but also from people who did not have in-depth legal knowledge.

A Case Study on the Efficacy and Usage of Assistive Technologies in Howard County Schools, MD

Assistive technology is equipment that is designed to improve the capabilities of students with disabilities. For many students with disabilities, these technologies enable essential life skills such as daily communication and independence inside and outside of the classroom. This study assesses the efficacy, usage, and implementation of assistive technology in Howard County Public Schools (HCPSS) in Maryland, in order to determine any potential barriers and deficiencies towards the effective implementation of the said devices. A voluntary sample of 59 members of 1200 HCPSS staff was asked questions about the assistive technologies used in the county, their effectiveness, potential barriers towards implementation, training given, and available resources. Responses generally indicated that assistive technologies were beneficial, with the 83% of respondents selecting 4 or 5 out of 5 for the effectiveness of assistive technologies in academic and social contexts. Respondents elaborated that technologies allowed students with severe disabilities to communicate, socialize, work independently, and improve reading and writing skills. On the other hand, drawbacks such as distractions and dependencies created by the technologies were noted. Respondents felt confident towards the resources and support provided by the county, noting an assistive technology department and specialists available for support. However, respondents commonly reported that they were under-trained, received only occasional, limited workshop sessions, and were constantly behind on training. Thus, recommendations were drafted to improve training and staff awareness towards assistive technologies, such as required comprehensive training sessions for special education staff and a universal assistive technology guide to be provided. 

HBV, HCV, and HIV Seroprevalence in Hemodialysis Patients Admitted to a Tertiary Care Hospital in Mogadishu, Somalia

Hemodialysis (HD) patients are a special group of patients who are at high risk for infection and related complications. Blood-borne viruses associated with chronic diseases such as hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) are important causes of morbidity and mortality in HD patients. Immunodeficiency of the patients, weak protective efficacy of vaccines (HBV etc.), invasive vascular procedures, long-term dialysis applications and device-related contaminated blood contact risk, need for blood transfusion, medical practices associated with the risk of nosocomial transmission are some of the factors associated with an increased risk of infection transmission in HD patients. In addition to standard precautions to prevent infection transmission, some additional practices specific to HD patients have been recommended. HBV vaccination, patient isolation (special staff and use of separated rooms, devices, and equipment) in case of indication, precautions to be taken during catheter application (selection of catheter location, catheter care, skin antisepsis, and performing the procedures under appropriate and sterile conditions), monitoring patients for infection markers (before dialysis and at recommended intervals), taking into account inadequate antibody production and the long incubation period of viral infections are some examples of preventive procedures specific to HD patients. In this study, the prevalence of HBV, HCV and HIV infections in HD patients treated in a tertiary care hospital in Somalia was investigated. A total of 744 HD patients, 419 (56.3%) males and 325 (43.7%) females, were included in the study. The mean age of the patients was 50.81±17.62 (range 7-91) and the median age was 53. 660 of the patients were tested for anti-HBs (386 positive patients; 58.5%), 718 for HBsAg (63 positive patients, 8.8%), 720 for anti-HCV (19 positive patients, 2.6%), and 599 for anti-HIV (one positive patient 0.17%). Seropositivity rates were found to increase with age in HD patients, in line with the prevalence of viral agents in the population. In 718 patients tested for HBsAg, the positivity rates in men and women were 10.8% (44/406) and 6.1% (19/312), respectively, and the seropositivity rate was significantly higher in men (p=0.026). Anti-HCV seropositivity (2.6%) was approximately twice and significantly higher in HD patients than the hospital general prevalence (1.41%) (p=0.005). Emergency responses to injuries related to ongoing conflict across the country, invasive procedures performed outside the hospital and under unsuitable conditions, lack of molecular diagnostic tests for viral infections in identifying seronegative cases, patients apply to various centers with different capabilities for dialysis procedures and irregular patient follow-up records, missing hemodialysis sessions due to economic or other reasons, high prevalence of HBV, and lack of trained and specialized personnel draw attention as problems specific to the region.

We offer recommendations for addressing staff needs and facilitating inclusion for students with disabilities in preparing for employment.

Analisis Nikah Beda Agama dalam Perspektif Maqashid Syari’ah

The marriage performed by the president's Special Staff is a marriage between a non-Muslim man and a Muslim woman. According to the scholars of the four madhhabs, this type of marriage is absolutely prohibited. Even though the majority of Indonesian people are Muslim. So this research was conducted in order to find out the reasons for the prohibition through the maqasid sharia approach. So that the reasons for the prohibition and the law of performing interfaith marriages can be known. This research is categorized as library research with qualitative analysis. The data collection technique is by analyzing references related to interfaith marriage and maqasid sharia. The data obtained through the publish or Perish application were 112 documents, but 12 articles were used. The results of this study are that interfaith marriage is not justified in Islam because it contradicts the five concepts of maqasid sharia; (1) maintenance of religion, namely religion which is a guide to human life, so what is more recommended in religion, it must be better for future life. (2) maintenance of the soul, because in principle they have different teachings and in the end the differences will produce conflicts in it. (3) maintenance of the intellect, namely the intellect that has been contaminated by the doctrines of lust (love), it will not be able to use its intellect properly. It will be easily seduced into misguidance (apostasy) because it does not use its mind and mind properly. (4) maintaining offspring, namely the offspring as the successor of the married couple. But how can the offspring be better who can carry out the mandate as the khalifah of Allah SWT if the marriage has religious differences. (5) maintenance of property, namely someone who marries a different religion then between them can not inherit each other.

Curriculum Changes in Vocational Colleges: Effects and Improvement Suggestions for Effective Implementation

Industry-based curriculum in the context of vocational colleges is constantly changing to meet current industry needs. This process of change undoubtedly has a positive effect on the implementation of effective teaching and learning. However, this process also poses challenges in implementation, especially among lecturers. Therefore, this paper discusses curriculum changes in the context of Vocational Colleges by focusing on the effects and suggestions for improvement on effective curriculum implementation practices. In short, the level of readiness of lecturers in facing curriculum changes becomes a question and the ability of vocational colleges as study centers to face changes also becomes a big challenge to effective curriculum implementation. In addition, the workload of lecturers increases with the task of managing accreditation and recognition of professional bodies. Furthermore, the lecturer's skill level is still at a moderate level which is at least level three of the Malaysian Skills Certificate. Among the advantages of KV curriculum changes is the development of the latest curriculum according to industry progress and the graduates produced by KV also have the latest knowledge and skills according to industry requirements. In addition, KV lecturers are also always able to improve their skills and knowledge in line with curriculum changes. However, there is also a weakness in the result of curriculum change, which is when it involves vulnerable groups who resist change, where lecturers will feel pressured by changes that are too frequent. Therefore, several strategies are proposed to improve the effect of curriculum changes such as creating special staff for accreditation management and rearranging the division of KV lecturers' duties so that lecturers can face any changes effectively. In conclusion, curriculum changes will have positive and negative effects on all parties, especially lecturers as change agents.

Implications of the Dynamic Capability of Thinking Again, the General Election Commission's (KPU) Rumah Pintar Pemilu (RPP) Program in Voter Participation in 2018 Elections

Anticipating the low voter participation in elections, the General Elections Commission (KPU) of the Republic of Indonesia initiated a political education program for voters to increase voter participation by making a pilot project for the establishment of the Election Rumah Pintar Pemilu (RPP) with a target of 549 houses to be built including one in the central KPU, 34 RPP in provinces, and the rest in districts/cities throughout Indonesia. People, on the other hand, are more interested in learning about the election through other media rather than visiting the election smart house. How the implications of the dynamic capability of the smart home election program think again in increasing voter participation in the 2018 regional head election is interesting to examine using a case study method involving informants from the Public Relations and Technical Division of the Indonesian KPU and Regional KPU. The results showed that the implementation of the provision of RPP KPU RI throughout Indonesia starting from 2015 to 2018 had reached 514 RPP at the provincial, city, and district levels. Of the 8 RPPs that were observed directly, starting from the RPP KPU RI, RPP KPU Serang City, Lebak Regency, North Sumatra Province, Bogor City, Garut Regency and East Lombok Regency, and East Barito Regency RPP. Only the RPP of the KPU RI and the City of Bogor have sufficient complete facilities, while the 5 RPPs are still not in accordance with the standards of the Guidelines for the Provision of the KPU RI. In providing the RPP, the Indonesian KPU carried out top-down communication through official letters and meetings with the regional KPU in 2015, which was then realized in its establishment from 2016 to 2018 using the RI KPU budget taken from the voter education budget. The difficulty in providing KPU’s RPP is that the KPU building or office is borrowed from the local government, and there is no special staff for the regional KPU to handle the RPP and the activities in it. Willingness and skills of implementers who do not understand politics, democracy and voter education, and the bureaucratic structure in regional KPUs do not support the RPP as a means of voter education and as an effort to increase the number of voter participation in the 2018 direct regional head elections so that voter participation does not reach the target of the KPU RI. In the 2018 Pilkada, which had a target voter turnout of 77.5%; however, participation was only 73.24%. At 2015 regional election participation rate was 69%. The implementation of the election smart home program needs to be evaluated thoroughly because the amount of support issued does not increase voter participation and intelligence.
