Abstract Purpose Results of the 2019 ASHP national survey of pharmacy practice in hospital settings are presented. Methods Pharmacy directors at 4,863 general and children’s medical/surgical hospitals in the United States were surveyed using a mixed-mode method of contact by email and mail. Survey completion was online, using an online survey application. IQVIA supplied data on hospital characteristics; the survey sample was drawn from the IMS Health hospital database. Results The response rate was 10.8%. Pharmacists are increasingly managing medication use in the areas of vancomycin therapy, antibiotic selection and dosing, and anticoagulation. Electronic health record (EHR) decision support is guiding prescribing, and nearly 50% of hospitals are customizing drug warnings. Adoption of compounding technology continues, with 43.6% of hospitals using technology in their sterile compounding processes. Nearly half of hospitals have active opioid stewardship programs, and pharmacists are leading these efforts. Specialty pharmacy operations are growing in health systems. Human resource commitments to support new services are increasing; however, vacancy rates for technicians are challenging. Staff credentialing continues to expand for pharmacist and technicians. Conclusion Pharmacists continue to assume greater responsibility for writing medication orders, dosing, ordering laboratory tests, and monitoring outcomes. Health-system pharmacists are taking a leading role in addressing the opioid crisis, advancing safety in compounded sterile preparations through adoption of intravenous workflow technologies, and optimizing EHR applications to leverage clinical decision support tools to improve the safe prescribing and use of medications.

Research aims: This study is intended to determine the influence of perceived security and trust on the decision to use digital payment systems during the COVID-19 pandemic.Design/Methodology/Approach: The type of data used in this study was primary data, which was collected using an online survey. Sample used in this study determined by purposive sampling method. The information collected was handled and analyzed using SEM-PLS.Research findings: This study shows the results that the presence of technical protection explicitly affects the perception of security and trust significantly. In addition, security also greatly affects an individual's confidence in the use of digital payment systems. However, of the various findings made in this study, trust is the only one that influences the choice in using EPS.Theoretical contribution/Originality: During this pandemic Covid-19, limited studies talk about consumers’ perceptions instead of technical protection of digital payment in detail. Meanwhile, consumers' security is the thing that needs to be studied further to create a comprehensive study result.Practitioner/Policy implication: Results of this study give some implications for the EPS providers to complete and develop a secure EPS system for users, especially in this pandemic era when the EPS users increase and people’s mobility is restricted in some areas.Research limitation/Implication: The implication of this research is to emphasize the importance of one's knowledge regarding risks when using an electronic payment system. It is because the use of EPS in the pandemic era is unavoidable. Therefore, not only providers must improve their security systems, but users must also be aware of the EPS risks and security. Nevertheless, the limitation of this study is that it only used samples in Indonesia; maybe the results will be different when applied in other countries with better EPS security systems.

The Relationship

The early apprehensions about how deepfakes (also deep fakes) could be weaponized for social and political purposes are now coming to pass. This study is one of the first to examine the social impact of deepfakes. Using an online survey sample in the United States, this study investigates the relationship between citizen concerns regarding deepfakes, exposure to deepfakes, inadvertent sharing of deepfakes, the cognitive ability of individuals, and social media news skepticism. Results suggest that deepfakes exposure and concerns are positively related to social media news skepticism. In contrast, those who frequently rely on social media as a news platform are less skeptical. Higher cognitive abled individuals are more skeptical of news on social media. The moderation findings suggest that among those who are more concerned about deepfakes, inadvertently sharing a deepfake is associated with heightened skepticism. However, these patterns are more pronounced among low than high cognitive individuals.

There are few scenarios in one’s life when we feel that “my life is out of Control”. These feelings are at the extreme when we are a student especially a college level. A college level student is forced to decide the course of their life and career during their stay at campus. Therefore they are left battling with so many emotional, career and social feelings which unknowingly pushes the student towards adverse situations. These mixed feeling and situations are a main reason behind stress and anxiety among students. In order to identify the factors which are associated with the level of stress especially among students a study (Online Survey) was conducted among various college level students studying in the geographical area of Punjab (Banur). In this study a few factors have been highlighted which although are very insignificant but can be a major cause behind creation of feelings which leads to stress and anxiety. Four categories of academic stressor (i.e. personal frustration, learning hours, financial issues, and health related issues) and four categories describing reactions to these stressors (i.e. Behavioral, Psychological, Social and Cognitive effects) were examined. The online survey sample consisted of 158 students studying in four different colleges falling in the geographical area of Punjab region. The findings emphasized on various factors like pressure of studies, poor knowledge on how to live a balanced life etc. The findings of this study can further be used by various researchers and motivational speakers who are working on designing of certain program along with workshops on how to live a balanced life which is healthy, happy and successful

Career Options

The PIC model by Gati and Asher describes three career decision making stages: pre-screening, in-depth exploration, and choice of career options. We consider the role that three different forms of support (general career support by parents, emotional/instrumental support, and informational support) may play for young adults in each of these three decision-making stages. The authors further propose that different forms of support may predict career agency and occupational engagement, which are important career decision precedents. In addition, we consider the role of personality traits and perceptions (decision-making window) on these two outcomes. Using an online survey sample ( N = 281), we found that general career support was important for career agency and occupational engagement. However, it was the combination of higher general career support with either emotional/instrumental support or informational support that was found to lead to both greater career agency and higher occupational engagement. Personality also played a role: Greater proactivity also led to greater occupational engagement, even when there was little urgency for participants to make decisions (window of decision-making was wide open and not restricted). In practical terms, the findings suggest that the learning required in each of the three PIC processes (pre-screening, in-depth exploration, choice of career options) may benefit when the learner has access to the three support measures.

Augmented Reality Game

Pokémon GO, an augmented reality mobile game, captured the attention of millions of people around the world in July 2016. Various sources from around the globe have reported both positive and negative incidents and outcomes related to the game. Some of the incidents have been particularly remarkable for the player, i.e., critical incidents. A critical incident is a single experience, which a person perceives or remembers as unusually positive or negative. Critical incidents typically are highly influential for human behaviour, and thus, important to study. Playing augmented reality games can take place in varying situational contexts. Situational context includes information that can be used to characterize the situation of a person, place, or object, and has been shown to be influential in mobile use context. This study investigates in which kinds of situational contexts do critical incidents of augmented reality game Pokémon GO take place. The focus is on four different situational contexts that Pokémon GO can be played in: sociality, interaction state, place, and reasons for playing. The study is based on analysing an online survey sample of 226 responses. The findings pose insights and implications regarding augmented reality applications and games in general, and thus, assist the developers in their efforts to provide the users with meaningful and positive experiences with games and other augmented reality applications.

Homework Completion

Purpose This study investigated the extent to which speech-language pathologists (SLPs) facilitate parents' completion of homework activities for children with speech sound disorder (SSD). In addition, this study explored factors related to more consistent communication about homework completion and strategies considered particularly effective for supporting this element of parental involvement. Method Licensed SLPs serving at least one child with SSD were invited to participate in an online survey. Questions relevant to this study gathered information regarding (a) frequency of communication about homework distribution and follow-up, (b) demographic and workplace characteristics, and (c) an open-ended question about the specific strategies used to support parental involvement and completion of homework activities. Results Descriptive results indicated considerable variability with respect to how frequently SLPs engaged in communication about homework completion, but that school-based SLPs were significantly less likely to engage in this type of follow-up. Strategies considered effective, however, were similar across therapy contexts. Conclusion These results suggest potentially important differences between school-based services and therapy in other contexts with respect to this particular aspect of service provision for children with SSD.

Purpose The purpose of this study was to ascertain the extent to which school-based speech-language pathologists' (SLPs) assessment practices with individual English learners (ELs) align with federal legislation and professional practice guidelines. Specifically, we were interested in examining SLPs' use of multiple tools during individual EL assessments, as well as relationships between practices and number of types of training experiences. Method School-based SLPs in a Midwestern state were recruited in person or via e-mail to complete an online survey pertaining to assessment. Of the 562 respondents who completed the survey, 222 (39.5%) indicated past or present experience with ELs, and thus, their data were included in the analyses. The questionnaire solicited information about respondent's demographics, caseload composition, perceived knowledge and skills and training experiences pertaining to working with ELs (e.g., graduate school, self-teaching, professional conferences), and assessment practices used in schools. Results The majority of respondents reported using multiple tools rather than a single tool with each EL they assess. Case history and observation were tools used often or always by the largest number of participants. SLPs who used multiple tools reported using both direct (e.g., standardized tests, dynamic assessment) and indirect tools (e.g., case history, interviews). Analyses revealed low to moderate positive associations between tools, as well as the use of speech-language samples and number of types of training experiences. Conclusions School-based SLPs in the current study reported using EL assessment practices that comply with federal legislation and professional practice guidelines for EL assessment. These results enhance our understanding of school-based SLPs' assessment practices with ELs and may be indicative of a positive shift toward evidence-based practice.
