Telepractice is an increasingly popular service delivery model for serving individuals with communication disorders, particularly infants and toddlers who are Deaf/Hard-of-Hearing (DHH) served under Part C Early Intervention programs (Behl, Houston, & Stredler-Brown, 2012). Recent studies have demonstrated that telepractice is effective for providing children who are DHH and their families with access to high quality early intervention services (Behl et al., 2016; Blaiser, Behl, Callow-Heusser, & White, 2013). While telepractice has grown in popularity, there continues to be a lack of formalized training opportunities to help providers become more familiar with telepractice (Behl & Kahn, 2015). This paper outlines online training courses for providers, families, and administrators of programs for children who are DHH. Recommendations for follow up training and staff support are included.

The reclamation complex of the Nonchernozem zone of Russia has been under the influence of a combination of unfavourable factors for a long time. The problems of scientific and staff support today limit the development of the complex and create risks for the successful implementation of the Federal Target Program "Development of Land Reclamation". In order to analyze the situation and find the right solutions, a study was carried out using the method of expert assessments. Twenty-four highly qualified specialists took part in it: 2 Academicians of the Russian Academy of Sciences, 4 Corresponding Members of the Russian Academy of Sciences, 10 Doctors of Sciences and 9 Candidates of Sciences. To preserve and build up the agro-resource potential within the framework of the Federal Target Program "Development of Land Reclamation" in the next decade, it is necessary to develop 300-400 thousand hectares of shrubby fallow, to carry out major repairs of drainage systems on an area of up to 300 thousand hectares and their reconstruction on an area of up to 100 thousand hectares, carry out chemical reclamation on an area of up to 5 million hectares on average per year. The need for qualified personnel to solve these problems will amount to 18–20 thousand professional workers and up to 5 thousand specialists, including 1.0 thousand people in research and development, 1.5 thousand people in exploration and design sphere, 2.5 thousand people in the construction and operational sphere. The fundamental importance belongs to the scientific support of the innovative reclamation complex, the renewal of which should be carried out on the principles of resource and energy conservation, nature likeness, informational support and digitalization of management processes.

Healthcare providers commonly experience risky situations in the provision of maternity care, and there has been increased focus on the lived experience in recent years. We aimed to assess opinions on, understanding of and behaviours of risk on the LW by conducting a mixed methods study. Staff working in a LW setting completed a descriptive questionnaire-based study, followed by qualitative structured interviews. Statistical analysis was performed with SPSS on quantitative data and thematic analysis performed on qualitative data. Nearly two thirds of staff (64%; 73/114) completed the questionnaire, with 56.2% (n = 47) experiencing risk on a daily basis. Experiencing risk evoked feelings of apprehension (68.4%; n = 50) and worry (60.2%; n = 44) which was echoed in the qualitative work. Structured clinical assessment was utilised in risky situations, and staff described “ going on autopilot” to manage these situations. A large number of respondents reflected on their provision of care following an adverse event (87.7%; n = 64). Debriefing was mentioned as an important practice following such events by all respondents. This study describes the negative terminology prevailing in emergency obstetric care. These experiences can have a profound impact on staff. Risk reduction strategies and the provision of increased staff support and training are crucial to improve staff wellbeing in stressful scenarios.

Stratified Analysis

Physical activity referral schemes (PARS) are implemented internationally to increase physical activity (PA), but evidence of effectiveness for population subgroups is equivocal. We examined gender differences for a Scottish PARS. This mixed-methods, concurrent longitudinal study had equal status quantitative and qualitative components. We conducted 348 telephone interviews across three time points (pre-scheme, 12 and 52 weeks). These included validated self-reported PA and exercise self-efficacy measures and open-ended questions about experiences. We recruited 136 participants, of whom 120 completed 12-week and 92 completed 52-week interviews. PARS uptake was 83.8% (114/136), and 12-week adherence for those who started was 43.0% (49/114). Living in less deprived areas was associated with better uptake (p = 0.021) and 12-week adherence (p = 0.020), and with male uptake (p = 0.024) in gender-stratified analysis. Female adherers significantly increased self-reported PA at 12 weeks (p = 0.005) but not 52 weeks. Males significantly increased exercise self-efficacy between baseline and 52 weeks (p = 0.009). Three qualitative themes and eight subthemes developed; gender perspectives, personal factors (health, social circumstances, transport and attendance benefits) and scheme factors (communication, social/staff support, individualisation and age appropriateness). Both genders valued the PARS. To increase uptake, adherence and PA, PARS should ensure timely, personalised communication, individualised, affordable PA and include mechanisms to re-engage those who disengage temporarily.
