In this article, recent developments in the teaching of diagnostic-interviewing skills in the mental health professions are discussed. First, the tasks and skills of the diagnostic interviewer are analyzed. Second, empirical evidence on effective interviewing styles is outlined. Third, training methods for teaching diagnostic interviewing are reviewed. A training program, developed to teach diagnostic interviewing to undergraduates, is then described. The program is highly structured, and simulated patients are used to introduce complex clinical problems and to evaluate students’ emerging competencies. Student and trainer satisfaction with the program has been high during the past 6 years.

The Social

- Sociologist's role inside social and health professions is strictly connected to his/her sociological commitment or intervention. The dilemma is, as many have highlighted, the integration and the distance between humanist empathy and axiological neutrality. The aim of this article is to compare the sociologist's involvement and the specificity of its object, verifying if that commitment affects the social configuration of its object.Key words: professional, involvement, social work, care work, sociology of work, neutrality.Parole chiave: professione, coinvolgimento, lavoro sociale, lavoro di cura, sociologia del lavoro, neutralitÀ.

Support Mechanisms

The professorial populations in nursing/midwifery, social work and allied health are relatively new in academia compared to longer established professions, such as medicine and dentistry. Less is known about the roles, career pathways, characteristics and career aspirations of the professoriate within these emerging professions. A survey was undertaken from sample populations in each of the three professorial groups in order to obtain qualitative and quantitative data on professorial roles and activities, career pathway information and support mechanisms for professorial positions. This paper discusses the findings of the survey that relate specifically to professorial roles and activities and whether the identified roles reflect the professorial activities proposed by the National Conference of University Professors (NCUP). Other aspects of this survey, including career pathways, findings relating to gender and support mechanisms, will form the basis of future papers. The findings suggest that the professorial roles studied in this survey reflect those described by the NCUP. Professors of nursing, allied health professions and social work balance a wide range of roles and activities. Research, and related activities, as one would expect, constitute a substantial aspect of work activity, but many professors express frustration with an environment that requires a heterogeneous role profile combined with an unrealistically high workload in order to successfully pursue their research careers. The survey highlighted support networks as a critical success factor in terms of professorial career development. However, professors from across the disciplines commented on the lack of support (institutional and external) available to professors in both pre-professorial and professorial grades. Established and personal chair holders appear to have similar roles, with few statistically significant differences found between these two sub-populations.

Medical Educators

Much has been written in the past 15 years by medical educators on problem-based learning (PBL) in medical schools. The other health professions, such as occupational therapy, social work and nursing, have been slow in taking up the challenge and developing PBL programmes to suit their professional needs. The purpose of this article is to summarise previous developments and offer a schema for the preparation of curricula in occupational therapy. No schema for PBL has previously been published, so it is proposed that this attempt will be able to be adapted to a wide range of courses using the acknowledged educational concepts implicit in integrated, problem-based programmes.

BackgroundCurrently, about 40 million people in the United States live in poverty, one of the most significant social determinants of health. Nurses and social workers must understand the effect of living in poverty on their clients' health and quality of life.PurposeNurses and social workers will encounter persons living in poverty. Therefore, beginning in their undergraduate education, health professions students must be aware of their attitudes towards poverty and how poverty affects health.MethodsThe Community Action Poverty Simulation was conducted with nursing and social work students at a small liberal arts institution. The Attitudes toward Poverty-Short Form (ATP-SF) and Beliefs Related to Poverty and Health (BRPH) tools were used pre- and postsimulation to assess students' attitudes about poverty and beliefs about the relationship between poverty and health. An emotional response plan was created to address participants' emotional responses by providing a separate space on-site and information about future resources.ResultsThe ATP-SF showed a significant overall difference (p < .001) between pre- and postsimulation surveys, indicating a shift toward a structural explanation of poverty; the BRPH showed that participants believed poverty is the result of illness and inability to work (p < .01).ConclusionThis study supports poverty simulation use to promote awareness of attitudes towards those living in poverty and how poverty impacts health. Recommendations include using more community resource volunteers with first-hand poverty experience, allowing students to role-play adults or older teens in the simulation, and including other health professions students.
