We studied first-year students through an integrated group workshop and longitudinal interviews that focused on students' transitional experience at the university as well as the strategies they developed to adjust to university life. Four themes emerged: the challenges of forming connections to other students with similar interests during the first few weeks on campus, the need to balance competing demands, varied experiences of connection with faculty and staff, and the need for translation of university life for minority students. To address the issues and concerns that emerged from our findings, we offer a number of advisory recommendations and programmatic initiatives. Relative Emphasis: research, practice, theory

The present study involved three in-depth interviews with 10 informants who had voluntarily withdrawn from hockey, horse racing, football, and racquet-ball. The personal histories of the informants were examined for diversity and commonality of experience. A synthesized description of career change experience was written as a general story, identifying a sequence of experiential units that reflect the shifts in focus within the common experience. The general story indicated that withdrawal from sport was not simply an event but a process that began soon after the athletes became engaged in their career. This study supports and extends a model proposed by Schlossberg (1984) which attempts to account for diversity in the experience of transitions. The model is considered helpful in developing an understanding of the process of a transitional experience such as retirement from sport, considering the context in which the experience takes place, the meaning it has for the individual, and how it changes over time.

Preceptorship is now a requirement for all newly qualified occupational therapists joining the National Health Service (Department of Health 2005). This is intended to ameliorate the difficulties experienced by new practitioners when moving from the role of student into clinical work. A number of studies confirm the importance of providing both support and challenge in the first year of practice. This opinion piece presents the case for the introduction of preceptorship, building on the expertise of clinical supervisors. This role of preceptor could improve the transitional experience of new practitioners and support the development of their skills and their confidence.

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a complex, progressive neurological condition that impacts daily life and reduces life satisfaction (LS). To achieve and maintain high LS, persons with PD (PwPD) must go through a process of change to adapt to their new life situation. However, our knowledge about this process is very limited. The aim of this study was to investigate the process of change, and the main concern in this process, in PwPD. To study the transitional experience of PwPD, an inductive qualitative approach, using Grounded Theory (GT), was employed. Thirteen participants (9 women, 3 men and 1 non-binary), with a mean age of 54 years (range from 47–62 years), participated in in-depth interviews. Data showed that social belonging is the main concern in the process of change for PwPD. In this process of change, they use strategies to comprehend, accept, adapt, and balance in their strive for social belonging, which in turn can enhance LS. Health care professionals can use this model with an interdisciplinary approach to support PwPD through a successful process of change to achieve social belonging, and thereby achieving and maintaining LS.
