Reasoning like a doctor or like a nurse? A systematic integrative review.

When physicians and nurses are looking at the same patient, they may not see the same picture. If assuming that the clinical reasoning of both professions is alike and ignoring possible differences, aspects essential for care can be overlooked. Understanding the multifaceted concept of clinical reasoning of both professions may provide insight into the nature and purpose of their practices and benefit patient care, education and research. We aimed to identify, compare and contrast the documented features of clinical reasoning of physicians and nurses through the lens of layered analysis and to conduct a simultaneous concept analysis. The protocol of this systematic integrative review was published doi: 10.1136/bmjopen-2021-049862. A comprehensive search was performed in four databases (PubMed, CINAHL, Psychinfo, and Web of Science) from 30th March 2020 to 27th May 2020. A total of 69 Empirical and theoretical journal articles about clinical reasoning of practitioners were included: 27 nursing, 37 medical, and five combining both perspectives. Two reviewers screened the identified papers for eligibility and assessed the quality of the methodologically diverse articles. We used an onion model, based on three layers: Philosophy, Principles, and Techniques to extract and organize the data. Commonalities and differences were identified on professional paradigms, theories, intentions, content, antecedents, attributes, outcomes, and contextual factors. The detected philosophical differences were located on a care-cure and subjective-objective continuum. We observed four principle contrasts: a broad or narrow focus, consideration of the patient as such or of the patient and his relatives, hypotheses to explain or to understand, and argumentation based on causality or association. In the technical layer a difference in the professional concepts of diagnosis and the degree of patient involvement in the reasoning process were perceived. Clinical reasoning can be analysed by breaking it down into layers, and the onion model resulted in detailed features. Subsequently insight was obtained in the differences between nursing and medical reasoning. The origin of these differences is in the philosophical layer (professional paradigms, intentions). This review can be used as a first step toward gaining a better understanding and collaboration in patient care, education and research across the nursing and medical professions.

The development and psychometric evaluation of nurses’ knowledge, attitude and practice regarding elder abuse

PurposeThe purpose of this study was to develop and psychometrically evaluate a tool to measure nurses’ knowledge of, attitude toward and practice regarding the elder abuse phenomenon.Design/methodology/approachThis study is methodological research that was conducted in two stages. In the first stage, the available tools related to knowledge, attitude and practice regarding elder abuse were identified through an extensive review of theoretical principles, previous research and related articles. The initial items were extracted and categorized. In the second stage, the psychometric properties of the tool were examined by assessing face validity, content validity, construct validity, internal consistency and stability. Four hundred nurses working in the hospitals of Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences were selected to determine the validity of the structure.FindingsThe initial tool consisted of 114 items extracted, 34 of which were removed according to the experts’ opinions. The face validity of the 80-item questionnaire was then examined. The number of the items was reduced to 74 after measuring the face validity. After the qualitative measurement of the content validity, three items were eliminated. After measuring the content validity using a quantitative approach, 8 other items were removed and 63 items remained. According to the content validity index, 1 more item was removed, reducing the number to 62. The construct validity approved three dimensions of knowledge, attitude and practice. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was calculated to be 0.84. The stability was also confirmed through test–retest with a value of 0.85 for the whole scale.Originality/valueThe tool developed for assessing nurses’ knowledge, attitude and practice regarding elder abuse has acceptable dependability and credibility. Given the advantages of this tool, including the simplicity and fluency of sentences, and the comprehensive evaluation of nurses’ knowledge, attitude and practice regarding elder abuse, it is recommended to use this tool in relevant future studies.

Analysis of Occupational Therapy Students’ Pedagogical Practices for the Forging of Professional Identity and Development of Professional Intelligence: A Scoping Review

Pedagogical practices contribute to enhancing professional intelligence which is an indicator of maturity and development of professional identity. The research guiding question was: What are the pedagogical practices involved in occupational therapy students' professional identity formation? A scoping review using a six-stage methodological framework was used to capture a variety of evidence describing how professional identity has been conceptualised and integrated into the occupational therapy curriculum while noticing a link to professional intelligence. Databases included were: Ovid MEDLINE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, ProQuest ERIC, Scopus, Web of Science, CSIC, Dialnet, PubMed, Pubmed Central, OTDBASE and Scielo. Qualitative content analysis was used to categorise learning outcomes into five components of professional identity that were associated with the pedagogical practices identified in the studies. n = 58 peer-reviewed journal articles were recorded. The articles were classified as intervention studies (n = 31; 53.4%), reviews (n = 12; 20.7%) and theoretical articles (n = 15; 25.9%). To ensure the feasibility of collecting and reporting results, we narrowed the focus to n = 31 intervention studies that provided information on pedagogical practices and learning outcomes on professional identity forging in students. This scoping review illustrates the variety of contexts in which students learn, the multiple dimensions of identity establishment, and the variety of pedagogical practices. These findings can be used to adapt and design focused formative curricula that support the development of professional identity.

A Content Analysis of the Journal of Nonprofit Education and Leadership: Results from Empirical and Theoretical Article Analysis

This study reports a content analysis of the first 10 years of the Journal of Nonprofit Education and Leadership (JNEL). A team of 10 researchers spent two years piloting, and comprehensively reading and coding 97 theoretical articles published between 2010-2020. This analysis found the journal published education and leadership-focused articles with an emerging area of democracy-focused articles. The journal produced a mix of quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods articles, which differ from previous content analysis studies conducted in other nonprofit and philanthropic studies journals. The keywords were separated into the 16 categories of the NACC curricular guidelines, which demonstrated the variety of education and leadership-focused topics covered in the first 10 years of the journal. This study has implications for nonprofit and philanthropic studies as JNEL is a lesser-known emerging journal that caters to practitioners and scholars.

ТЕОРЕТИЧЕСКИЕ СТАТЬИ КИНОВЕДА И.В. ВАЙСФЕЛЬДА (1909–2003) В ЖУРНАЛЕ «ИСКУССТВО КИНО»

The paper analyzes the evolution of theoretical film studies concepts of the famous film scholar I.V. Weisfeld (1909-2003) in the “Art of Cinema” journal (1931-2003). The objective of the study is to perform a comprehensive content analysis of the evolution of I.V. Weisfeld’s theoretical film studies concepts in the “Art of Cinema” journal (1931-2003) in the context of the transformation of historical and socio-cultural space. Based on the content analysis of the discourse of film studies formations concentrated in I.V. Weisfeld’s theoretical articles in the “Art of Cinema” journal (1931-2003), the following was revealed: − I.V. Weisfeld's theoretical film studies concepts were largely confined to the study of problematization vectors of film studies, namely, they concerned a detailed deconstruction of film construction issues, plot and structural image, the style movement of the artist, and a hero’s character; − most of his theoretical articles were written in line with the ideological and political dogmas of a particular historical period. The texts of the film scholar's theoretical articles clearly reflected the ideology of the ruling Communist Party, with frequent quotations of the works of K. Marx, V. Lenin and I. Stalin, as well as the resolutions of the Central Committee of the Soviet Communist Party; − a number of articles contained a sharp criticism of "bourgeois concepts" of Western cinema, defended the values of the ideological and moral content of Soviet cinema as well as the unity of the ideological and professional approach in film studies; − a significant portion of I.V. Weisfeld's articles was devoted to the cinematic legacy of famous Soviet filmmakers: S. Eisenstein, D. Vertov, V. Pudovkin, N. Zarkhi, and N. Lebedev in close correlation with criticism and outlining the merits of their work and the development of film studies as a science; − A significant segment of the author's conceptual views concerned the problems of integrating film into the educational process of schools and universities; − The author's theoretical articles are written at a high professional level (using cinematic terminology), not deprived of expressive artistic imagery; presented theoretical concepts are supported by a clear logic of presentation and coherent arguments based on primary sources; − The author's position and attitude towards the subject of research are clearly traceable in the general content and generalizing conclusions; structurally, his articles are usually in a scientific style, have a clear structure and a significant volume; − I.V. Weisfeld's theoretical film studies concepts are presented in a correlative relationship and determination of the transformation processes of the political and socio-cultural segment in the context of historical stages.

Evolution of viruses in immunized populations of vertebrates

Scientists have described thousands of species of viruses, many of which are pathogens of vertebrates. Given that vertebrates have their highly sophisticated adaptive immune systems capable of memorizing pathogens, interaction with such systems should theoretically be one of the most important factors influencing the evolution of viruses. The review focuses on how acquired immunity (infection-induced and vaccine-induced) affects the most important medical characteristics of viral pathogens – transmissibility, infectivity, and virulence. Both known real examples of the evolution of viruses in immunized populations, as well as theoretical articles and the results of mathematical modeling, are considered. Special attention is paid to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Methodological recommendations are given for creating vaccines and conducting vaccination campaigns in the light of the raised evolutionary issues.

TECNOLOGIAS EDUCACIONAIS PARA CUIDADORES NO CONTEXTO DE UNIDADES HOSPITALARES DE ONCOLOGIA PEDIÁTRICA: REVISÃO DE ESCOPO

ABSTRACT Objective: mapping the scientific evidence about the use of educational technologies for caregivers in the context of Pediatric Oncology hospital units. Method: this is a scoping review based on the PRISMA-ScR recommendations and on the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology. The search was performed by two independent reviewers in 12 national and international data sources. Publications available in full and free of charge in electronic means were included, with no language or time restrictions. Abstracts were excluded, as well as letters to the editor, opinion articles, books, monographies, dissertations, theses, blog postings, and theoretical and reflection articles. Data analysis was descriptive, with elaboration of charts and absolute and relative frequency statistics. Results: the final sample was comprised by 15 studies published between 2010 and 2020 and mainly from developed countries. Apps and videos were the predominant educational technologies, followed by printed materials, contributing to increasing the caregivers' knowledge about the disease and cancer treatment, symptom management and side effects of the chemotherapy drugs. In addition, when compared to printed materials, the videos showed a reduction in the caregivers' anxiety levels. The professionals most involved with the technologies were nurses and physicians. Conclusion: it was possible to map that apps and videos are the main educational technologies that are being developed to instruct caregivers, addressing diagnosis and treatment of child-youth cancer, symptom management and self-care promotion.

EVALUATION AS A TOOL OF PROFESSIONAL POLITENESS OF RESEARCHERS AND EXPERTS

The researcher is constantly evaluating ideas presented and embedding a certain degree of categoricality in the value-laden statements. On the one hand, the researcher must be categorical and persuasive to defend a personal point of view in a scientific discussion with colleagues. On the other hand, the researcher should maintain a maximal degree of politeness, keeping an open mind for further dialogue by avoiding overly categorical assertions. Otherwise, one may damage one’s professional face by provoking counter-critical reactions. Similar factors determine the communicative behavior of an expert, which balances between striving for an objective appraisal of the work reviewed as a whole not only of its positive and negative qualities and the establishment of respectful relations between the participants of scientific-expert communication. The aim of the present paper is to analyse the axiological aspect of socio-humanitarian research articles and scientific-expert texts in order to reveal the strategies of politeness in interpersonal projection. The research data are two corpora of theoretical articles on sociology in German and Russian and two corpora of German and Russian scientific reviews on Linguistics. The analysis focuses on the linguistic means of expressing the evaluative positions of the communicants and the strategies of polite communication employed by them. The methodology is based on the positions of sociological politeness theories, pragmalinguistics and discourse linguistics. The results fill the gaps in the description of the communicative profiles of scientific articles and reviews in German and Russian and identify linguistic and cultural specificity in the use of professional politeness strategies.

The Concept of ‘Play’ from the Point of View of Theories of Museology

In the first decades of the 21st century, the topic of the ‘playing’ person has become the core of interdisciplinary research on human activity. As museums have been adopting a new approach towards cultural dissemination and educational goals, the discourse of play is also becoming one of the current fields of research in museology. Although the cultural aspects of play and game have been discussed for a long time, the interpretation of the concept of play from the museological point of view is a relatively new field which requires the definition of the synonymously used terms and the respective concepts. The aim of this article is to highlight the concept and function of play in museology based on the analysis of museology theories, to identify the preconditions for the formation of play communication, and to identify the directions of the development of the concept of play in the contemporary museological research. The article is based on an integrated literature review of the analysis of the concept of play while focusing on theoretical texts and monographs of scholars studying the phenomenon of play, as well as on theoretical and empirical research articles analysing the expression of play in all types of museums. This paper also discusses the linguistic use of the terms play and game. In the Lithuanian language, we not only have to deal with the synonymous use of play (žaismas)/game (žaidimas) in the translation of spel, play, spielen, but also with the use of play in the translation of both play and game used in different contexts in the English-language literature. Since game is a structured form of play, and, in the museological research and practice, game is more commonly defined as the digital expression and referred to as gamification, it is suggested that play (as an action and a state of being) should be distinguished from game (as a structured form of action) by using two different terms in the Lithuanian language. The literature reviewed in this article has highlighted that the concept of play in the museum is linked to the development of new theories of museology, and it reveals itself as a creative construct that is shaped and sustained by the institution. Play is defined as the concept for communicating the theme of the museum, manifested through the act of play and the elements of game. This approach to the dissemination of content and the organisation of activities is expressed through the application of play and game methods which allow the audience to engage in a more intensive relationship with the museum’s theme and exhibits. Play becomes a necessary medium for the museum’s metagame which includes and expresses playfulness, play action, playful elements, real and digital games, whereas the audience is engaged by play to satisfy its educational and entertainment needs. To summarise on the interdisciplinary context of the phenomenon of play, in museology, it is most appropriate to associate play with an intellectual or conceptual state that involves exchange, change and playful action. The term game in the museological context is more commonly used to refer to a specific spatial, temporal or rule-based action which, in the museum practice, is more frequently associated with gamification.

Fear Not the Strong Pass Iron-Clad on All Sides, The Summit’s Now Surmounted With Big Strides

Fear Not the Strong Pass Iron-Clad on All Sides, The Summit’s Now Surmounted With Big Strides After intensive preparation and joint efforts of the Singapore team and the Chinese team, the first phase of Economics & Management Information was launched. What kind of journal should Economics & Management Information be? I hope its first feature is inclusiveness. The core of inclusiveness lies in advocating diversified development and encouraging individual advantages. To make academic achievements in the fields of economy, management, finance, human resources and organizational behavior, journals, reviewers and authors need to jointly choose and practice the inclusive orientation. This magazine regards inclusion as the first key label in its inaugural period, and will innovate the selection criteria from four aspects of the paper's genre, topic selection, methods and results, so as to promote the inclusive development trend of economic and management research. First of all, we include theoretical articles that are reasonable but lack empirical evidence. Empirical method is the mainstream research method in recent years, but the academic worries caused by excessive "modeling" have attracted the attention of scholars. This magazine values articles that are logical and have made outstanding contributions, these papers put forward important topics, review rich literature, deduce convincing conclusions or put forward feasible suggestions, which are of high value and significance. This is a kind of tolerance of this journal to the paper genre. Second, we include topics that are novel but somewhat niche. For a long time, the research in the field of economy and management has followed the hot spots in the field of theory and practice, but the hot spots are not necessarily the focus of the research. Some hot spots cannot stand the test of time and disappear. This magazine encourages those hot topics and classic topics that are strictly selected, and also encourages original topics derived from global practical problems, even if they are slightly niche and have unknown prospects. Third, we include research methods that are scientifically rigorous and slightly flawed. The overemphasis on the scientific nature makes the research methods of the thesis more and more complicated, but this orientation itself is also being questioned. This magazine tries to include various qualitative and quantitative research methods, and comprehensively consider the overall value of articles. Fourth, we include research results that are true but not perfect. It is not easy for all assumptions in the theoretical model to be supported by data. Young scholars are often trapped in data flaws. The favor of journals for perfect conclusions is also the initiator of some academic misconduct. The insignificant path relationship itself is also a research discovery. Just like Edison had experienced 2500 failures before he discovered tungsten wire, each failure is significant. This magazine advocates the authors to report the true research results. Like a baby, this magazine is still in its infancy. If we are still confident in pursuing higher standards, I hope that the editor can select articles expressing concern about social realities and research issues full of new ideas and practical values. The development and promotion of this magazine cannot be separated from the support of all authors, reviewers and readers. It will be the result of collective wisdom and concerted efforts. We are willing to witness thetransformation process of this era and the common progress of the global academic community. Hui Cheng Written in Guangdong Province, China September 20, 2022

Initiatives to reduce the waiting time to initiate oncological treatment: a scoping literature review.

To identify the managerial actions proposed and employed to reduce the waiting time to initiate oncological treatments in the public health system and its application in Latin America. We searched seven databases in December 2020. Search terms were conceptualized into three groups: waiting time, cancer, and terms related to public sector. The eligibility criteria included theoretical or empirical academic articles written in English, Spanish, or Portuguese, that focused on managerial solutions to face oncological healthcare queues' dilemma. The search returned 1 255 articles, and 20 were selected and analysed in this review. Results show that most of the proposals are related to the process and people dimensions. The actions related to the process dimension were mainly associated with programming new treatment pathways and integrating cancer systems. People's dimension initiatives referred mostly to task forces and groups of specialists. Some initiatives were related to implementing technological solutions and the technology dimension, mainly concerning radiotherapy devices' acquisition. Few studies focus on analysing actions to minimize waiting time to initiate oncological treatments. The prevalence of conceptual and illustrative case studies indicates the lack of research maturity on this theme. Future studies should focus on setting the field's theoretical foundations, considering the existing paradigms, or developing new ones. There is a need for empirical studies applying a multidisciplinary approach to face the oncological treatment waiting time challenge and proposing new and innovative initiatives.
