COVID-19 management in social care in England: a systematic review of changing policies and newspaper reported staff perspectives.

Adult social care has been a major focus of public attention and infection control guidance during the COVID-19 pandemic, with a high mortality both for carers and those receiving care. To protect themselves and others from infection, staff in residential and domiciliary care settings had to quickly adapt to infection control measures that heavily impacted on their working and every-day life, whilst navigating new responsibilities, uncertainties and anxieties. We sought to explore the production and reception of guidance and look at ways these can be adapted to improve the working life of care staff in domiciliary and residential care whilst reducing the risk of SARS-CoV-2 transmission amid this pandemic and of future emerging infections. We conducted two complementary and integrated systematic reviews of published documents in the pre-vaccination era: (1) National guidance for social care (conducted between 29 July to 28 October 2020), and (2) Newspaper coverage of infection control issues in social care (conducted between 27th July to 10th September 2020). Three higher order common themes emerged in the integrated systematic review of guidance documents and newspaper articles: a) Testing, b) Personal Protective Equipment, c) Employment. The reviews revealed a sharp disjunction between the content of infection control guidance and its usability and applicability in social care settings. We suggest that infection control guidance needs to be better adapted to social care settings and informed by the sector. The practicalities of care work and care settings need to be at the core of the process for guidance to be relevant and effective. Modes and timings of communications also need to be optimised.

Link between Learning Strategies and Educational Guidance Needs – A Pilot Study with New Students at UNED

In institutions such as the National University of Distance Education (UNED), where students must take a leading role in their own learning processes in order to be academically successful, the learning strategies, understood as a series of cognitive, metacognitive, motivational, self-regulation, emotional and support aspects, take on maximum importance. In order to establish relationships between learning strategies and the educational guidance needs of new students at the UNED, a pilot study was carried out with students of the Degree in Psychology in March 2021, who responded to the CEVEAPEU tool developed by Gargallo et al. (2009). The data shows that, at the beginning of their degree studies, students have good learning strategies. In addition to all the initial information and advice provided by the institution, it is appropriate for guidance services to provide specific guidance on a sustained basis throughout the first year, cushioning the effect of changes that may occur in learning strategies, thus helping to prevent many dropouts.

Oncologists' Communication About Uncertain Information in Second Opinion Consultations: A Focused Qualitative Analysis

Introduction: Uncertainty is omnipresent in cancer care, including the ambiguity of diagnostic tests, efficacy and side effects of treatments, and/or patients' long-term prognosis. During second opinion consultations, uncertainty may be particularly tangible: doubts and uncertainty may drive patients to seek more information and request a second opinion, whereas the second opinion in turn may also affect patients' level of uncertainty. Providers are tasked to clearly discuss all of these uncertainties with patients who may feel overwhelmed by it. The aim of this study was to explore how oncologists communicate about uncertainty during second opinion consultations in medical oncology.Methods: We performed a secondary qualitative analysis of audio-recorded consultations collected in a prospective study among cancer patients (N = 69) who sought a second opinion in medical oncology. We purposively selected 12 audio-recorded second opinion consultations. Any communication about uncertainty by the oncologist was double coded by two researchers and an inductive analytic approach was chosen to allow for novel insights to arise.Results: Seven approaches in which oncologists conveyed or addressed uncertainty were identified: (1) specifying the degree of uncertainty, (2) explaining reasons of uncertainty, (3) providing personalized estimates of uncertainty to patients, (4) downplaying or magnifying uncertainty, (5) reducing or counterbalancing uncertainty, and (6) providing support to facilitate patients in coping with uncertainty. Moreover, oncologists varied in their (7) choice of words/language to convey uncertainty (i.e., “I” vs. “we”; level of explicitness).Discussion: This study identified various approaches of how oncologists communicated uncertain issues during second opinion consultations. These different approaches could affect patients' perception of uncertainty, emotions provoked by it, and possibly even patients' behavior. For example, by minimizing uncertainty, oncologists may (un)consciously steer patients toward specific medical decisions). Future research is needed to examine how these different ways of communicating about uncertainty affect patients. This could also facilitate a discussion about the desirability of certain communication strategies. Eventually, practical and evidence-based guidance needs to be developed for clinicians to optimally inform patients about uncertain issues and support patients in dealing with these.

Predictors of Scholastic Achievement of Secondary School Students

The present study aims to find the contribution of self-concept, stress, educational aspirations, parental involvement and guidance needs in predicting the scholastic achievement of secondary school students. The sample for the study comprised 205 students studying in 8th, 9th and 10th classes, selected through random sampling technique. The researchers used Children’s Self Concept Scale (Ahluwalia & Singh, 1986), Student Stress Scale (Akhtar, 2011), Educational Aspiration Test (Khan, 2009), Parental Involvement Scale (Chauhan & Arora, 2009), and a self-constructed Guidance Needs Scale in the study. Findings reveal that self-concept, educational aspirations, and parental involvement have a positive relationship with the scholastic achievement of students and stress and guidance needs have a negative relationship. Multiple linear regression analysis was found significant at 0.01 level of significance. Self-concept, stress, educational aspirations, parental involvement and guidance needs contribute significantly to the variance in the scholastic achievement of the students. Implications of these results for parents, teachers, counsellors and school administrators have been reported in the study.

Environmental assessment for desalination projects including microbial desalination cells

For MIDES it was necessary to analyse the aspects that should be considered for the environmental assessment of desalination projects that integrate the microbial desalination cells as pre-treatment for reverse osmosis. The approach used to that end was to combine three methods: revision of existing guidance for environmental and social assessment of desalination projects to compile a list of components and impacts; life cycle analysis based on a pre-pilot MDC to determine impacts associated with its construction and operation; and risk assessment to determine risks of the potential release of nanoparticles. The results showed that, at project level, existing guidance needs to pay more attention to the effects that the local and regional environment could have on a desalination project and to the regional cumulative effects to which a project could contribute. At the level of the MDC, the main impacts were the contribution to climate change and toxicity resulting from the 20:1 ratio of catholyte to feed water; however, preliminary data for the operation of a pilot MDC showed a reduction to a 5:1 ratio, with largely reduced impacts. At the structural level, the risk assessment showed that the release of nanoparticles from the cathodes and membranes is negligible.

Paediatric primary care in Germany during the early COVID-19 pandemic: the calm before the storm

ObjectivesGlobally, the COVID-19 pandemic has a major impact on healthcare provision. The effects in primary care are understudied. This study aimed to explore changes in consultation numbers and patient management during the COVID-19 pandemic, and to identify challenges for patient care.DesignSurvey of paediatric primary care practices on consultation numbers and patient management changes, and semistructured interviews to identify challenges for patient care. Surveys and interviews were partially linked in an explanatory sequential design to identify patient groups perceived to be at higher risk for worse care during the pandemic.SettingIn and around Düsseldorf, a densely populated area in Western Germany. The primary care facilities are spread over an area with approximately 2 million inhabitants.ParticipantsPrimary care in Germany is provided through practices run by self-employed specialist physicians that are contracted to offer services to patients under public health insurance which is compulsory to the majority of the population. The sample contained 44 paediatric primary care practices in the area, the response rate was 50%.ResultsNumbers of consultations for scheduled developmental examinations remained unchanged compared with the previous year while emergency visits were strongly reduced (mean 87.3 less/week in March–May 2020 compared with 2019, median reduction 55.0%). Children dependent on developmental therapy and with chronic health conditions were identified as patient groups receiving deteriorated care. High patient numbers, including of mildly symptomatic children presenting for health certificates, in combination with increased organisational demands and expected staff outages are priority concerns for the winter.ConclusionsPrimary care paediatricians offered stable service through the early pandemic but expected strained resources for the upcoming winter. Unambiguous guidance on which children should present to primary care and who should be tested would help to allocate resources appropriately, and this guidance needs to consider age group specific issues including high prevalence of respiratory symptoms, dependency on carers and high contact rates.

Validación de un instrumento para detectar necesidades de orientación en alumnado universitario de nuevo ingreso

RESUMENEl ingreso en la Universidad trasciende a los estudiantes desde múltiples dimensiones (organizativas, sociales, personales) y su adaptación va a depender de sus destrezas para afrontar y superar las necesidades que surjan. Esta investigación tiene como objetivo diseñar y someter a procesos de validación un instrumento para conocer la incidencia e interacción de determinados factores (ligados a motivaciones personales u orientaciones académicas y hacia la carrera) en la generación de esas necesidades.Se utiliza una metodología tipo encuesta para distribuir un cuestionario entre los estudiantes del primer curso de diferentes grados de la Facultad de Educación, Psicología y Ciencias del Deporte de la Universidad de Huelva. El instrumento está constituido por 3 escalas (motivaciones de ingreso; necesidades de orientación académica; necesidades de orientación para la carrera) que incorporan indicadores claves para comprender la realidad del primer contacto del alumno con sus estudios universitarios.Los resultados ofrecen análisis descriptivos y de correlación de cada una de estas escalas para acceder a las interacciones entre los factores emergentes; también se establecen procedimientos de validación y fiabilidad del instrumento mediante la valoración de la consistencia interna y el análisis factorial de cada escala. Como conclusión, se ofrece un instrumento útil para orientadores y profesorado universitario, con rigurosas propiedades psicométricas que dejan entrever la existencia de siete factores clave para ayudar a comprender el constructo teórico de referencia y de esta forma contribuir a la detección y evaluación de necesidades de orientación en los estudiantes de nuevo ingreso en la universidad.ABSTRACT Admission to the University transcends students from multiple dimensions (organizational, social, personal) that they usually face alone and their adaptation will depend largely on their skills to meet and overcome the needs that arise. This research aims to design and subject to validation processes an instrument to know the incidence and interaction of certain factors (linked to personal motivations or academic and career orientations) in the generation of these needs.Transversal research design is used based on a survey methodology to distribute an instrument among the students of the first year of different degrees of the Faculty of Education, Psychology and Sports Sciences of the University of Huelva. The instrument consists of 3 scales (profile-motivations for admission; academic orientation needs; career guidance needs) that incorporate key indicators to understand the reality of the student's first contact with their university studies.The results offer descriptive and correlational analyzes of each of these scales to access the interactions between the emerging factors; Validation and reliability procedures of the instrument are also established by assessing the internal consistency and factor analysis of each scale. In conclusion, it offers a useful instrument for counselors and university professors, with rigorous psychometric properties that reveal the existence of seven key factors to help understand the theoretical construct of reference and thus contribute to the detection and evaluation of guidance needs in new university students.

Apprenticeships as a Unique Shaping Field for the Development of an Individual Future-Oriented “Vocationality”

With the labor market and work environments becoming increasingly dynamic, the question of how young people can find their way to a sustainable professional future becomes ever more complex. This paper looks from different perspectives at apprenticeships, at their advantages and limitations. The first step is a description of the prerequisites that are necessary for a sustainable career choice. In this respect, the role of career guidance is particularly relevant, as guidance needs to take into account both individual characteristics as well as labor market aspects in order to support a sustainable career choice. Based on a comprehensive critical literature review of current interdisciplinary and international papers, as well as of basic career choice theory literature, the theoretical framework is set out and linked to empirical results. The conclusion emphasizes the high importance of apprenticeships for the holistic personality development of young people and a positive as well as a sustainable effect on their lifelong employment careers. It should be stressed that this success depends, to a large extent, on the structure of the vocational education and training system, on labor market developments, and on individual advanced qualifications in the course of working life.
