Strategies and challenges for the promotion of a responsibility mindset in technical career students during internships

Promoting responsibility values and knowledge of students requires actions with a strong focus on citizenship and ethics, with the aim to commit, engage, and empower future professionals. In this sense, a key question arises: how to define and foster responsibility among professionals at different organizational levels? This paper deals with contextual factors and key concepts for promoting responsibility-related values and competences (knowledge, skills, attitudes) throughout curricular internships carried out by students of technical degrees. In this work, we explore the advantages and challenges of working on a responsibility approach at this stage of a professional career, and we outline ideas for optimizing the process.

Organizational Levels

Health and welfare services are facing major challenges, including impaired efficiency in meeting the complex needs of users. To face these challenges, there is a need to develop new ways of working, such as co-production. It is a challenge to enable and enhance inclusive co-productive processes, but trust and self-efficacy are key concepts for success. Trust and self-efficacy can be considered as both enablers and products of co-production and are thus important to acknowledge together with contextual factors and to act upon at all organizational levels, starting with individual patients and users.

Key Concepts

Online knowledge sharing systems (KSS) allow individuals to share and retrieve information across geographic and temporal boundaries. Generally, individuals’ use of these information repositories is voluntary, so scholars have examined the motivating factors underlying the use of KSS. Integrating research from diverse disciplines, this chapter provides a comprehensive review of extant research in this area. To begin, the chapter describes the review’s framework and defines key concepts. It then broadly categorizes motivations for knowledge sharing as self- or other-oriented and summarizes research on the primary motivations within each category. Subsequently, the chapter reviews several contextual factors that modify the relationships between motivations and online knowledge sharing. To close, the chapter reflects on the review material, generating several areas for future research.

Understanding surgical antimicrobial prescribing behaviour in the hospital setting: a systematic review and meta-ethnography protocol

Prescribing Behaviour

Abstract Background Surgical specialities use extensive amounts of antimicrobials, and misuse has been widely reported, making them a key target for antimicrobial stewardship initiatives. Interventions informed by, and tailored to, a clear understanding of the contextual barriers to appropriate antimicrobial use are more likely to successfully improve practice. However, this approach has been under utilised. Our aim is to synthesise qualitative studies on surgical antimicrobial prescribing behaviour (APB) in hospital settings to explain how and why contextual factors act and interact to influence APB amongst surgical teams. We will develop new theory to advance understanding and identify knowledge gaps to inform further research. Methods The meta-ethnography will follow the seven-phase method described by Noblit and Hare. We will conduct a comprehensive search using eight databases (AMED, CINAHL, EMBASE, MEDLINE, MEDLINE-in-process, Web of Science, Cochrane Library and PsycINFO) with no date restrictions; forwards and backwards citation searches; and contacting first authors of relevant papers. Studies will be dual screened and included if they use recognised qualitative methods and analysis; focus on contextual factors associated with surgical APB within hospital settings; are available in full in English; and are relevant to the research question. Any disagreements between reviewers will be resolved through discussion to reach consensus. Included studies will be read repeatedly to illuminate key concepts and the relationship between key concepts across studies. Then, key concepts will be sorted into conceptual categories or ‘piles’ which will be further abstracted to form a conceptual framework explaining surgical APB. During the synthesis, emerging interpretations will be discussed with stakeholders (including authors of included studies where possible; surgical and stewardship practitioners; and patient representatives) to ensure new knowledge is meaningful. Discussion This research has several strengths: (1) the protocol has been written with reference to established guidance maximising rigour and transparency; (2) the multi-disciplinary research team bring varied interpretative repertoires and relevant methodological skills; and (3) stakeholders will be involved to ensure that findings are relevant, and disseminated via suitable channels, to support improved patient care.

Ethnogeriatrics is an evolving specialty in geriatric care that focuses on the health and aging issues in the context of culture for older adults from diverse ethnic backgrounds. This article is an introduction to ethnogeriatrics for healthcare professionals including speech-language pathologists (SLPs). This article focuses on significant factors that contributed to the development of ethnogeriatrics, definitions of some key concepts in ethnogeriatrics, introduces cohort analysis as a teaching and clinical tool, and presents applications for speech-language pathology with recommendations for use of cohort analysis in practice, teaching, and research activities.
