Objective: To evaluate the frequency of perceived ethical misconduct in the practice of neuropsychology in Mexico. Method: One hundred fourteen psychologists answered a survey which assessed perceptions of ethical misconduct in four areas of professional practice in the field of neuropsychology.Results: The area of professional training contained the highest percentage of perception of ethical misconduct, followed by research and publications, clinical care, and professional relationships. Conclusion: The high frequency of ethical misconduct perceived by neuropsychology professionals in Mexico is a cause for concern. The results suggest the need to create and implement a system to make sure that professionals follow the ethics standards required by the profession, and to provide consequences for those who fail to do so. The profession of neuropsychology and training of professionals in the field must be regularized in the country, to reduce the frequency of future ethical misconducts.

Teaching professional practice and thesis development are usually two independent and unrelated processes. However, some concerns arose at Universidad SEK (USEK) Chile Department of English. Students declared to be overloaded and that working on their theses did not contribute to solving real in-class problems. Professors considered that training was not achieving all the expected results and that theses quality of some students were below expectations. To address these concerns, the English department decided to create a direct and strong bond between these two vital processes through Action Research (AR). Studying this innovation process appears to be relevant as it may lead to a better understanding of its impact and the complexities involved. Consequently, the author aims to value the results of this innovation after five years of its implementation. How do involved agents such as students, professors, supervisors, and mentors ponder this experience? Qualitative information gathered through interviews evidenced some contentment regarding thesis and training improvement, a decrease in the students’ overload perception, renewed motivation, and a positive thesis-training connection. Despite this promising perception, there are still some pending challenges, such as enhancing the spreading of the innovation and the quality of the feedback provided to school mentors.

Resumo – O presente artigo visa apresentar análises preliminares de resultado de pesquisa acerca da participação e contribuição do CBCISS no Movimento de Reconceituação da América Latina, no período compreendido entre a década de 1960 até 1980. Sendo o CBCISS uma instituição sem participação direta na formação profissional, protagonizou, quase exclusivamente, não só a organização das produções sobre a sistematização da prática e da formação profissionais, como também foi responsável pela divulgação do material coletado em âmbito mundial. Organizou os seminários de teorização do Serviço Social, dos quais foi estudado, nesta fase da pesquisa, o Documento de Araxá, com o objetivo de retomar o Serviço Social na história, através de mediações determinantes, possíveis em face do acúmulo teórico-metodológico produzido pelo Serviço Social na esteira da “intenção de ruptura”. Palavras-Chave: movimento de reconceituação; CBCISS; análise crítica.  Abstract – This article aims to present preliminary analyzes of research results on the participation and contribution of the Brazilian Center for Cooperation and Interchange in Social Services (CBCISS, in Portuguese) in the Latin American reconceptualization movement between 1960 and 1980. The CBCISS is an institution with no direct participation in professional training, but it was, almost solely, not only the organizer of the academic production on the systematization of professional practice and training, but also the responsible for the dissemination of the collected material worldwide. It organized seminars on the theory of social work, of which it was studied in this research a 1967 seminar in Araxá, Minas Gerais. This choice had the purpose of recovering social work throughout history, through determinant mediations, possible in face of the theoretical and methodological accumulation produced by social work in the wake of the “intention of rupture.” Keywords: reconceptualization movement; CBCISS; critical analysis.

This descriptive study with qualitative approach aimed to identify the feelings that result from the practice and training of nurses working in mobile Emergency Medical Services (EMS). Nine nurses were interviewed in September 2007. Bardin's content analysis was used and six categories emerged: "Feelings aroused in the EMS", "Experiences in the daily routine", "nurses' activities in EMS", "Personal and professional preparedness", "Reflecting on the professional training" and "Nurses' perceptions of the EMS". The importance of this study lays in the need for personally, professionally and emotionally prepared nurses and also in the need to acknowledge and value the nursing practice in this service. The results revealed that nurses working in EMS feel secure, prepared and motivated to work and they also experience diverse feelings such as compassion, gratitude, anger, pity, sadness and anxiety. Acknowledgment and the possibility of restoring lives motivate them.

  ABSTRACT   Objectives: Although experiences of burnout are well documented among some health professionals, there is limited research that explores similar experiences among dietitians. This study aims (1) to describe the varied qualitative dimensions of burnout that are particular to dietitians and (2) to identify the factors that might be deemed protective against burnout. Methods: Fourteen dietitians were recruited from a larger quantitative study that assessed prevalence of burnout in Ontario, Canada using the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI). Those who completed the MBI were invited to participate in two phenomenological interviews. Transcribed interviews were analyzed by naïve readings and identified meaning units with a larger team for increased rigor and trustworthiness. Results: Dietitians describe burnout as having bodily and overall health consequences. Both social/professional relationships and dietitians’ passion for their work contributed to experiences of burnout and resilience. Opportunities for continued professional growth and change were contributing factors for resilience. Implications & Conclusions: This study contributes to the limited body of knowledge on dietitians’ lived experiences of burnout and resilience. The findings have implications for those involved in the education and training of student dietitians, and for those in a position to offer support to dietitians who are struggling with job stress. In the context of fostering resilience, a preventative approach to dietetic education is explored with the intention to protect future practitioners from burnout.

Do So

This article attempts to understand Levinas as a reader of Jewish texts, with particular attention paid to his Talmudic commentaries. To do so, the entangled relation between oral and written texts is explored; one must be able to properly “read” but also “write,” and there is the related issue of the methodology and training to be able to do so properly. Levinas offers commentary on each issue. Several interpretations of Talmudic texts and an important discussion of reading Scripture are analyzed in order to elucidate Levinas’s reading strategies, what this tells us about his relation to the larger tradition of Talmudic commentary, and Levinas’s particular historical moment, especially the role of the Holocaust for his approach to reading the Talmud and traditional texts.

Abstract Background C.difficile Toxin Polymerase Chain Reaction (C.diff PCR) and C.difficile Toxin Enzyme Immunoassays (toxin EIA) are commonly used tests to diagnose Clostridoides difficile infection (CDI). C.diff PCR cannot differentiate between colonization and infection, leading to a higher false-positive diagnosis of CDI. Toxin EIA has low sensitivity leading to a missed diagnosis of CDI. In patients with C.diff PCR positive(+) and Toxin EIA negative(-), clinical judgment is often needed regarding the decision to treat or not to treat. C.diff cytotoxic assay (CCA), is a more sensitive method to detect the toxin but is time-consuming and not readily available. Methods Between 6/2019 and 12/2019, 83 patients who were admitted to the hospital, met our inclusion criteria (C.diff PCR+/EIA-). Clinicians who cared for these patients were contacted and surveyed with a predesigned questionnaire evaluating the rationale of treatment. Also, a simultaneous medical records review was done to ensure consistency. Along with this C.diff PCR+/EIA- stool samples were sent to ARUP laboratories for CCA. The CCA results were not available for clinicians and did not impact clinical care. Average cost for a CCA assay was $29 Results Demographics of the clinicians were variable (Table 1). Several parameters were considered when making decisions regarding treatment and GI/ID were frequently involved (figure 1). Among the 83 patients, 41(49%) were CCA (+) and 42(51%) were CCA (-). 48 of 83 (58%) patients received treatment for CDI. 25 of 48 (52%) patients who were treated were CCA positive while 23 of 48 (48%) patients were CCA negative. Among the untreated patients, 16/35 (46%) were CCA+ while 19/35(54%) were CCA-. There was no statistically significant correlation between clinical judgment and CCA assay results (p: 0.56 on the Chi test). Demographics of the clinicians Clinician survey responses CDI Treatment and by CCA positivity Conclusion Clinicians regardless of their background and training face challenges with the treatment of C.diff PCR+/EIA- patients. Patient outcomes based on the incorporation of CCA assay into an algorithm for C.diff PCR+/EIA- patients, need to be evaluated. But it has a potential role in stopping unnecessary CDI treatment as well as avoidance of missed treatment opportunities while possibly also being cost-effective. Disclosures Ank E.
