Abstract:
Through a consideration of residential propinquity, religious and cultural activity, language retention, and levels of exogamy, this article provides a microstudy of the Welsh community in San Francisco and identifies the Welsh as a distinct ethnolinguistic community in the city during the late decades of the nineteenth century and the early decades of the twentieth. What was the nature of Welsh immigrant culture, and to what extent were working-class Welsh people involved in its expression? In addition, through an analysis of intragenerational changes in socioeconomic status, as indicated by occupational mobility, the article tests the assumption that the Welsh were prime illustrations of the “American Dream,” thus providing a clearer picture than the images promulgated by contemporary Welsh leaders who strove to emphasize the industry and upward mobility of their fellow countrymen. Did the Welsh as a group occupy a privileged position in the occupational hierarchy, and were they universally successful in improving on this position?

Abstract:
Black Americans have historically been excluded from societal associations and faced wavering instability in their households, forcing them to work together for their individual and collective well-being. In past research, more than half of Black American students enrolled in school opted to pursue social or educational careers. Findings suggest that Black Americans’ occupational development is influenced by their family and community ties. In this conceptual paper, the foundation of the development of identity in African American culture is presented, as it relates to occupational decision-making. First, we discuss the influences of general identity development on occupational decision-making. Second, we argue that Black cultural identity is multidimensional, with strong community and family factors that play a special role in occupational choice. Third, we suggest future research paradigms to link racial identity, culture, and occupational choice among Black American students. By exploring the fundamental beliefs of Black cultural identity, and how they buffer against each other, Black American students will be better able to make occupational decisions.

Abstract:
Occupational therapists in social services departments increasingly risk having their decisions challenged. This is due to the growing gap between people's needs for community care and available resources, and to a culture of complaint. The work of occupational therapists is bounded by complex community care legislation, an accompanying mass of guidance, judicial review by the law courts and investigations by the local ombudsmen. Various problems flow from the clash between the day-to-day demands made on therapists and legal and administrative rules. Awareness of the law is desirable but is achieved only with difficulty, given uncertainties in the legislation. The Court of Appeal's recent ruling – that the assessment of disabled people's needs cannot be influenced by resources – might increase demands for services but might also provoke local authorities into adopting defensive practices. In any case, legally, the Judgement of professionals such as occupational therapists remains central to decisions about the needs of people with disabilities. The article concludes that legal awareness will assist occupational therapists to achieve a balance between acting legally, carrying out their duty as employees, assisting clients, maintaining standards of professional conduct, staying within resources – and protecting themselves from unpleasant and time-consuming disputes.

Abstract:
Purpose Much of the commentary about police culture treats it as a monolithic and problematic feature of the police occupation that inhibits change and progress. The purpose of this paper is to draw on surveys completed by over 13,000 sworn police to describe officers’ occupational outlooks and explore the extent to which they vary across individuals and police agencies. Design/methodology/approach This paper draws upon employee survey data from 89 US police and sheriff departments collected in 2014-2015 to examine police culture through officers’ views of the community, police work, and police administration and to explore the extent to which these beliefs and opinions are affected by personal characteristics and organizational affiliation. Findings Results indicate that officers’ perspectives are more positive than might be expected and do not vary greatly by officer personal characteristics. They differ more substantially across police agencies. This suggests that police culture is to a significant extent an organizational phenomenon, not simply an occupational one. Originality/value Examining the views and perspectives of over 13,000 sworn police employed in 89 different police organizations provides a more representative and generalizable picture of police culture than previous studies that typically analyzed officers in only one police department.

Abstract:
In the 19th century railway work was a high-status occupation; a strong sense of occupational community and identification with work was present within the industry. Railway companies were uncompromisingly modern large-scale bureaucratically organised corporations, developing extensive networks of lines, changing physical, social, and economic geographies, and producing new forms of administrative space, In this paper it is argued that for its workers, both as the immediate subjects and as the producers of new forms of spatial organisation, experience of the corporate geography of the railway was intrinsic to the meaning of work and the status of railway workers in society. The metaphorical relationship between the story and the journey made by de Certeau is used to trace the relationships between the large-scale public geography of the railway corporation and the intimate private geography of individual biography.

Abstract:
Background. Occupational therapists who provide community-based services are well positioned to foster older adults’ social participation. However, community occupational therapists rarely address social participation and require support to change their practice. Purpose. This study initiated a remodelling of community occupational therapy services by (a) selecting practices fostering older adults’ social participation and (b) identifying factors that could affect their integration. Method. A community-based participatory research study was conducted in a large Canadian city. Four focus group meetings and seven individual interviews were held with 28 key informants. Findings. A continuum of emerging practices was identified, including personalized, group-based, and community-based interventions. Potential enablers of these practices included clinical support, better communication, and user involvement. Organizational and systemic barriers were related to the institutional culture and performance indicators. Implications. These results point to innovative ways to foster older adults’ social participation and identify potential enablers and barriers affecting their integration.

Abstract:
the aims of the study is to find out the construction of religious identity in pakpak culture community in Dairi district. The result of the study shows that there are three variations of dependence of Pakpak religion / belief and culture acculturation on other religions and cultures, the first group, traditional groups, in this group Pakpak's identity is still maintained and is dominated by parents and village communities who live far from pluralism occupation culture. Second, the bicultural group, this group is dominated by the Pakpak people who live in urban areas and who have received an established education, the behavior of this group is still thick with its Pakpak identity but has accepted differences with other religions and cultures. The three modern groups, in this group are dominated by Pakpak people who have long migrated to other areas and their Pakpak identity has changed. Of these three groups, the level of open personality was found to be very prominent for adolescents who became embryos of the development of Pakpak culture, such as the formation of identity, and interacting with peers.

Abstract:
In June 2014 approximately 54 per cent of the total probation service workforce in England and Wales were transferred to the newly created Community Rehabilitation Companies (CRCs) as part of the government’s plans to establish a market for offender management services. This marked the beginning of one of the largest and most significant migrations of criminal justice staff from the public to the private sector in England and Wales. This article presents findings from an ethnographic study of the formation of one of these CRCs through to the period immediately following the transfer into private ownership. The authors discuss the key features of this migration which are identified as ‘splitting and fracturing’, ‘adapting and forming’ and ‘exiting or accommodation’. It is contended that this development not only has significant implications for the future of probation services but also provides a unique example of the impact on an occupational culture of migration from the public to the private sector.

Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore how culture, including traditions and social structures, can influence resilience and how culturally sensitive relief operations can put affected people and their context at the core of any interventions. Design/methodology/approach A case study of the Mt Sinabung volcano area in Indonesia was undertaken. As part of the case study, an analysis of interventions was conducted, which was complemented by semi-structured interviews with Karo cultural experts and humanitarian organisations. Findings Culture influences the manner in which the Karo people react to volcano eruptions with varying implications for recovery. In addition, relief organisations which understand people’s actions through a cultural lens have better managed to tailor programs with long-term impact, thereby avoiding aid dependency. Practical implications Practical examples of disaster management activities that adequately account for the beneficiaries’ way of living prior to the eruptions are provided. Aid actors are provided with guidance concerning how to better tailor their activities in line with a cultural lens. Originality/value The study provides empirical grounding for claims concerning the role of culture in planning interventions in Indonesia and other similar contexts.

Abstract:
Purpose Recent ethnographic research has examined the forces that shape the working lives of prison managers, in particular, the growth of managerialism, pushing in from the outside and the deeply rooted local cultures that exist within. The purpose of this paper is to reconsider the interplay of these forces in the context of a therapeutic community (TC) prison. Design/methodology/approach This paper draws upon ethnographic research conducted in two prisons and expands this using an autoethnographic approach to examine the experience of governing a TC prison. Findings The original study described how the dynamic interaction of globalised change and local culture created gave rise to “prison managerialism”. This notion reflects the negotiation between the global managerialism and local occupational culture. This concept is equally relevant in a TC prison, albeit it exists in an altered form reflecting the distinct characteristics of the local culture. Research limitations/implications The approach builds upon an ethnographic study, expanding this through autoethnography. This inevitably limits the scope and perspective as it is looking at a specific context. It nevertheless highlights the distinctive challenges of managing a TC prison. Practical implications The work has implications for the management of TC prisons in practice, including human resource management such as recruitment, selection, appraisal and development of those managers. Originality/value The paper applies and revisits a recent in-depth study of prison managers, re-imagining and revising this to reflect the distinct context of managing a TC prison.

Abstract:
Deindustrialisation is often characterised as an ending, with sentiments of intangible loss andidentity disintegration defining displaced workers’ narratives of job loss. These experiencesare important, yet workers do not cease to exist with the closure of their workplace. Despitethis, little attention has been paid to the post-redundancy employment experiences of formerheavy industry workers or the survivability of their specific occupational identities and workcultures. This article examines the post-redundancy employment of former Scottishsteelworkers. Given their previous immersion in a distinctive occupational culture, a study ofthe post-redundancy employment experiences of these workers offers a window into theafterlives of deindustrialisation. Oral history is indispensable in prioritising working-classperspectives, therefore this article draws on seventeen newly conducted oral history interviewswith former Scottish steelworkers who were made redundant in the early 1990s. In order tobetter understand the long-term impact of deindustrialisation, as well as gage the survivabilityof occupational identities and work cultures, this article examines the ways in whichsteelworkers’ post-redundancy employment contrasted with steelmaking, focusing on thefollowing thematic areas: the significance of work; trade unionism and collective values;masculinity and emasculation; occupational community and workplace culture.

Abstract:
The Safe Dreaming Trail to School initiative was an injury prevention project, that used the school as the setting, and students as agents for change, in a cross cultural, collaborative approach to addressing community safety hazards. Students developed skills in identifying and reporting safety hazards in their school and local community, with opportunities to learn from indigenous safe community practices through Dreaming Stories. This learning process was captured by an original piece of Aboriginal art created by a local Aboriginal artist and included enthusiastic assistance from students. The core components of the project involved: fostering collaborative links between health, education, local service providers and community members; providing information on community safety and indigenous culture; developing a process for positive action on community safety hazards; and encouraging increased understanding and respect for different cultures using art and Dreaming Stories as the medium.

Abstract:
Objective Community home health care workers and their clients are faced with a mixture of occupational health and safety challenges that are not typically experienced by health care providers or patients in the acute care sector. The aim of this project was to explore the concept of safety in community home health in one health care authority in British Columbia. Methods A participatory action research approach was employed to explore staff and client safety risks in this environment. In the first phase, three focus groups were held with staff (n 5 39) and the data analysed to identify themes. These were validated by additional focus groups. In the second phase, interviews were held with staff followed by chart reviews. Finally, in phase three, an interdisciplinary working group developed a risk identification tool for staff which was subsequently piloted. The exploration focused on answering the following questions: What constitutes safety in community home health care? What are the priority areas for action in relation to safety? What type of risk identification would be most helpful to community health workers to prepare them adequately to meet their clients’ and their own safety needs? Results Risk themes identified included: poor communication, acute care staff not understanding the needs of community staff, working alone, mobility, medication concerns, lack of pre-screening of clients’ homes, and community health workers accepting a high degree of risk. Conclusions Findings suggest that typical notions of safety and risk in acute care are not easily translated into the community sector, that staff and clients’ safety concerns are intertwined, and staff require better and more timely information from acute care staff when patients are discharged home.

Abstract Introduction Patient safety is one of the key aspects of healthcare quality and a serious global public health concern. Patient safety culture is a part of the patient safety concept. In Slovenia, primary care is easily accessible, and for medical care, it serves as a gatekeeper to hospital care. For several years, the quality and safety at the primary healthcare level have been the focus of several studies. The present study aimed to assess patient safety culture among all employees of the Community Health Centre Ljubljana. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional study in 2017 using the Slovene version of “Medical Office Survey on Patient Safety Culture” from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. Mean percent positive scores on all items in each composite were calculated according to a user guide. Results The final sample contained 1021 participants (67.8% response rate), of which 909 (89.0%) were women. The mean age of the sample was 43.0±11.0 years. The dimensions most highly rated by the respondents were: teamwork and patient care tracking/follow-up. The lowest scores came from leadership support for patients’ safety and work pressure and pace. Conclusion Patient safety culture in the Community Health Centre Ljubljana is high, but there are certain areas of patient safety that need to be evaluated further and improved. Our study revealed differences between professions, indicating that a customized approach per profession group might contribute to the successful implementation of safety strategies. Patient safety culture should be studied at national levels.

Abstract:
Background. Research about occupational therapy practice in the community with people who have been imprisoned remains limited and may be considered an emerging area of practice. Purpose. This paper provides a critical, first-person account about emerging occupational therapy practice with men transitioning to the community post-imprisonment. The practice context is described and reflected on from the lens of a new graduate. Methods. Autoethnography draws meaning from reciprocal interactions between an individual and a culture. Data was collected by the primary author through reflective journal entries and process notes pertaining to a Photovoice project. Iterative application of established evaluative criteria served as a framework in an analytical writing process. Findings. Autethnography promoted self-reflection and professional development while Photovoice provided an evidence-based framework in an emerging setting. Implications. Current occupational therapy theories and models have limited applicability to inform practice with marginalized populations potentially benefitting from participatory research (e.g., Photovoice) and autoethnography.

Abstract:
The relation between time and architecture is well established and thoroughly explored in architectural discourse. Despite this, examination of social time has been lacking. This paper draws on a survey of 114 architects, academics and students who responded to general questions about practice and occupational wellbeing. A finding of this study was the diverse attachments that different groups in the architectural community have to the temporal norms and infrastructures of work and of studio. Based on this study, the paper demonstrates the heterogeneity that exists in architecture and how its temporal norms are negotiated. It concludes that exposing the heterogeneity of temporal experience across a discipline reminds us that the norms of time are negotiated. Moreover, the temporal experience of the everyday transcends the notion that architects passively ascribe to long-hours work culture.

Abstract:
Culture is a core context within occupational therapy, with a recent literature emphasizing the importance of cultural competence, as well as culturally sensitive assessment and intervention. The recent literature has indicated the efficacy of the Cognitive-Functional intervention (Cog-Fun) for children with ADHD among the general Israeli population, yet no studies to date have examined the necessity of cultural adaptations for minority groups. The current study examines the necessity of adapting the intervention protocol and process to the Ultraorthodox (UO) population, as perceived by occupational therapists. The study included 28 occupational therapists certified to use the Cog-Fun intervention, who reported using this approach with UO children. Participants responded to an online questionnaire developed for this study, regarding characteristics of the UO population and necessary adaptions to the Cog-Fun intervention process and protocol. Findings were analyzed using descriptive statistics and qualitative content analysis. Results of the study point to the necessity of addressing various features of the UO community, including daily routines and habits, cultural values, knowledge regarding ADHD, and accessibility of information. Participants also reported a need to adapt the graphic content of the intervention materials. The qualitative data expanded on the perceptions of the participants through four main themes: (a) knowledge regarding ADHD diagnosis and intervention; (b) perceptions and attitudes regarding ADHD diagnosis and medication; (c) factors affecting communication between the OT, parents, and teachers; and (d) adapting the intervention protocol to habits, routines, and lifestyle of UO families. This study has direct implications for therapists utilizing the Cog-Fun with UO children and may also provide insights relevant to occupational therapists using other treatment approaches with children from this culture, as well as other minority or traditional groups. Furthermore, this study may serve as an important addition to the limited literature describing cultural adaptations of evidence-based interventions.

This article describes changes in the traditional guard cultures, which have resulted through Affirmative Action requirements of the State. These changes have given new meanings to traditional competition and divisions among the workers. Racial conflicts often parallel those within the prisoner culture. Gender conflicts reflect a conservative bias found in other blue collar occupations. These conflicts shape a new culture of the correctional worker and further contribute to the uneasy social order of the prison community.

Abstract:
For nearly 150 years Stallings Island, Georgia has figured prominently in the conceptualization of Late Archaic culture in the American Southeast, most notably in its namesake pottery series, the oldest in North America, and more recently, in models of economic change among hunter-gatherer societies broadly classified as the Shell Mound Archaic. Recent fieldwork resulting in new radiocarbon assays from secure contexts pushes back the onset of intensive shellfish gathering at Stallings Island several centuries; enables recognition of a hiatus in occupation that coincides with the regional advent of pottery making; and places abandonment at ca. 3500 B.P. Analysis of collections and unpublished field records from a 1929 Peabody expedition suggests that the final phase of occupation involved the construction of a circular village and plaza complex with household storage and a formalized cemetery, as well as technological innovations to meet the demands of increased settlement permanence. Although there are too few data to assess the degree to which more permanent settlement led to population-resource imbalance, several lines of evidence suggest that economic changes were stimulated by ritual intensification.

Abstract:
The developmental niche, a theoretical construct for the study of the child in cultural context, has been usefully applied to the analysis of environments of disabled individuals. In this article, the authors review the three components of the niche (settings of daily life, customs of care, and the psychology of the caretakers), with particular reference to issues of disability. Two case studies are presented as illustrations of the importance of parents' culturally constructed ideas, or ethnotheories, as either challenges or supports to the work of the occupational therapist. The article concludes with a consideration of cultural variability in parents' ideas of “successful development,” with illustrations from research in Italy, the Netherlands, and the United States. The developmental niche framework is relevant to concepts of “habit” as used in occupational therapy. It is also helpful for considering how the environment of the disabled individual—including cultural assumptions about what constitutes an agenda for successful development—may be modified to promote full participation in meaningful activities in the community.

Abstract:
The opioid epidemic was declared a national public health emergency in 2017. In Georgia, standing orders for the opioid antagonist, naloxone, have been implemented to reduce mortality from opioid overdoses. Service industry workers in the Atlanta, Georgia, inner-city community of Little Five Points (L5P) have access to naloxone, potentially expanding overdose rescue efforts in the community setting. To explore the issues facing L5P, our research brings together qualitative descriptive inquiry, ethnography, community-based research, a community advisory board, and a local artist to maximize community dissemination of research findings through a graphic novel that describes encountering an opioid overdose. This format was chosen due to the ethical responsibility to disseminate in participants’ language and for its potential to empower and educate readers. This article describes the process of working on this study with the community and a local artist to create sample pages that will be tested for clarity of the message in a later phase. Working with an artist has revealed that while dissemination and implementation for collaboration begin before findings are ready, cross-collaboration with the artist requires early engagement, substantial funding, artist education in appropriate content, and member checking to establish community acceptability altering illustrations that reinforce negative stereotypes. By sharing the experiences of actions taken during an opioid overdose in L5P through a graphic novel, we can validate service industry workers’ experiences, acknowledge their efforts to contribute to harm reduction, and provide much-needed closure to those who encounter opioid overdoses in the community.

Abstract:
Youth growing up in traditional cultures are split between the messages that they receive on sexuality from their families and those they receive via the internet depicting values of Western culture. The Palestinian-Israeli community, a national, ethnic, and linguistic minority, is an example of this situation. The purpose of this community-based participatory research study is to describe the challenges and lessons learned about launching a community advisory board (CAB) in studies on the taboo topic of adolescent sexuality. Using content analysis, we identified two necessary conditions to convene a CAB on adolescent sexuality in a traditional community: (a) an insider academic researcher, fluent in the native language, able to discuss the linguistic difficulties of sexual terminology and (c) the recruitment of motivated, community activists who were knowledgeable on the topic. The mostly traditional society of Palestinian-Israelis shuns discussions on sexuality; but with these two conditions, the study was a success.

This paper conducts a review of the demographic and health status data for Hispanic communities and relates them to the role of culture in health care. The author's recommend that promotion programs for Hispanic communities should focus on specific community data (morbidity rather than mortality), understand the impact of culture and language (cultural competency training and staffing), develop strong outreach components (establish community advisory boards, identify credible community spokespersons and incorporate community residents as health educators), and work in partnership (sharing funds and resources) with community-based organizations.

Abstract:
In-depth interviews allow for rich exploration of stakeholders’ experiences. Preparation for in-depth interviews generally consists of literature reviews and researchers’ review of their own culture and understanding of a topic. We supplemented these strategies with serial “ethnographic interviews” with a single community leader to enhance our preparation for community-based in-depth interviews with Latina, immigrant, Spanish-speaking mothers and to facilitate stakeholder engagement in a research project. After an extensive literature review, we conducted a series of four 1-hour interviews with a key informant in preparation for individual in-depth interviews with 12 parents. The ethnographic interviews with the community leader provided insight into environmental context, cultural categories, and stakeholder priorities, which helped shape the research question, in-depth interview guide, sampling strategy, and interpretive analytic process. We found that ethnographic interviews can provide critical insights for preparing in-depth interview guides and can enhance the information gained while facilitating meaningful stakeholder engagement.

BackgroundOutcome of schizophrenia has been described as favourable in low-and middle-income countries. Recently, researchers have questioned these findingsAimsTo examine the outcome studies carried out in different countries specifically looking atthose from low-and middle-income countriesMethodsLong-term course and outcome studies in schizophrenia were reviewedResultsA wide variety of outcome measures are used. The most frequent are clinical symptoms, hospitalisation and mortality (direct indicators), and social/ occupational functioning, marriage, social support and burden of care (indirect indicators). Areas such as cognitive function, duration of untreated psychosis, quality of life and effect of medication have not been widely studied in low-and middle-income countriesConclusionsThe outcome of schizophrenia appears to be better in low-and middle-income countries. A host of sociocultural factors have been cited as contributing to this but future research should aim to understand this better outcome. There is a need for more culture-specific instruments to measure outcomes

Abstract:
Community policing continues to enjoy much favour as a principal alternative to traditional, law-enforcement-oriented policing. A large body of research suggests, however, that it confronts a range of organisational obstacles. These obstacles arise largely from the endurance of an organisational form developed to support a law-enforcement-oriented approach, and which has engendered both working practices and an occupational culture inhospitable to the pursuit of community policing. Drawing on field research in the London Metropolitan Police and Surrey police forces, the paper identifies key obstacles to the delivery of community policing. It also indicates some of the conditions under which successful community policing can be achieved. These entail both changes in the organisational environment in which community policing is placed, and changes in prevailing conceptions of the nature and role of community policing. In particular, it is argued that community policing needs to move emphatically away from approaches based on community building and ‘outreach’, and towards a construction of community policing based firmly on its role in crime control.

Abstract:
L'auteur rapporte les expériences de quelques ergothérapeutes qui remettent en question l'efficacité de certaines modalités thérapeutiques utilisées dans des institutions traditionnelles et qui ne sont pas en rapport direct avec l'environnement domiciliaire, communautaire et culturel des clients. On dénote une tendance de la part d'ergothérapeutes à innover des programmes thérapeutiques en milieux communautaires. Ces efforts semblent concorder avec les idées exprimées par les autorités quant au mode de dispensation des soins de santé que l'on veut voir se développer au Canada. L'auteur exprime le désir de voir les futurs ergothérapeutes se préoccuper davantage des besoins sociaux des personnes handicapées. En plus d'offrir ses services traditionnels, l'ergothérapeute peut évoluer dans plusieurs domaines en tant qu'évaluateur, consultant dans les agences communautaires, écoles et autres institutions, et enseignant aux ergothérapeutes et autres membres du personnel. Afin d'effectuer ces tâches de façon efficace, l'ergothérapeute doit connaître les techniques de consultation, les théories d'apprentissage, les statistiques et la méthodologie de la recherche. Les étudiants en ergothérapie doivent être en contact avec les personnes âgées, les handicapés et les malades chroniques dans leur milieu de vie et non seulement à l'hôpital et dans des centres de réadaptation. Ils doivent être capables de comprendre l'influence des différentes cultures, des conditions éconòmiques, du stress de l'environnement afin de solutionner les problèmes des clients de façon analytique, en agissant en tant que collaborateurs plutôt qu'instructeurs. L'auteur ajoute que si les ergothérapeutes veulent demeurer utiles dans notre société à évolution rapide, ils doivent se préparer à agir comme consultants dans le système de soins plutôt que de s'en tenir à l'application de modalités thérapeutiques reliées à des pathologies spécifiques. Les ergothérapeutes doivent appliquer leur connaissance des maladies et handicaps directement en relation avec le système social plutôt que de se confiner dans des institutions de dispensation de soins. Ils doivent travailler de concert avec les autres travailleurs professionnels et non professionnels à améliorer la qualité de vie des personnes handicapées ou démunies.

Abstract:
Day care of mentally handicapped people fulfils the need of both the person and the community. The transmission of culture which occurs through nurturing, education and social integration in the case of ordinary people is also necessary in the case of a mentally handicapped person. This alone can eventually lead the mentally handicapped person to prepare himself for the role of an adult in the community. Day care plays an important part in facilitating this transmission because, contrary to common belief, mentally handicapped people can learn better during their early adult life. Yet factors within the community itself make this provision less effective. The aim of this article is to review day care in the context of its need and place in social organization and the problems in the community at present.

Abstract:
Abstract Health education research emphasizes the importance of cultural understanding and fit to achieve meaningful psycho-social research outcomes, community responsiveness and external validity to enhance health equity. However, many interventions address cultural fit through cultural competence and sensitivity approaches that are often superficial. The purpose of this study was to better situate culture within health education by operationalizing and testing new measures of the deeply grounded culture-centered approach (CCA) within the context of community-based participatory research (CBPR). A nation-wide mixed method sample of 200 CBPR partnerships included a survey questionnaire and in-depth case studies. The questionnaire enabled the development of a CCA scale using concepts of community voice/agency, reflexivity and structural transformation. Higher-order confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated factorial validity of the scale. Correlations supported convergent validity with positive associations between the CCA and partnership processes and capacity and health outcomes. Qualitative data from two CBPR case studies provided complementary socio-cultural historic background and cultural knowledge, grounding health education interventions and research design in specific contexts and communities. The CCA scale and case study analysis demonstrate key tools that community–academic research partnerships can use to assess deeper levels of culture centeredness for health education research.

Abstract Objective To assess national trends in patient safety culture in Taiwan. Design A safety attitudes questionnaire (SAQ) was distributed to 144 hospitals from 2009 to 2016 (n = 392 341). Setting Taiwan’s medical centers, regional hospitals and community hospitals. Participants Hospital staff in Taiwan. Interventions None. Main Outcome Measures 5-point Likert scale to assess changes in patient safety culture dimensions (teamwork, safety climate, job satisfaction, stress recognition, management and working conditions) converted to positive response rate (percentage of respondents who answered slightly agree or strongly agree on Likert scale). Results Dimensions for patient safety culture significantly increased in Taiwan over a period of 8 years, with an all-composite improvement in positive response rate of 4.6% (P < 0.001). Regional hospitals and community hospitals registered an all-composite improvement of 6.7 and 7.0%, respectively, while medical centers improved by 4.0%. Improvements for regional and community hospitals primarily occurred in teamwork (regional hospitals, 10.4% [95% confidence interval [CI], 10.2–10.6]; community hospitals, 8.5% [95% CI, 8.0–9.0]) and safety climate (regional hospitals, 11.1% [95% [CI], 10.9–11.4]; community hospitals, 11.3% [95% CI, 10.7–11.8]) (P < 0.001, all differences). Compared with nurses (5.1%) and pharmaceutical staff (10.6%), physicians improved the least (2.0%). Improvements for nurses and pharmacists were driven by increases in perceptions of teamwork (nurses, 9.8% [95% CI, 9.7–10.0]; pharmaceutical staff, 14.2% [95% CI, 13.4–14.9]) and safety climate (nurses, 9.0% [95% CI, 8.8–9.1]; pharmaceutical staff, 16.4% [95% CI, 15.7–17.2]) (P < 0.001, all differences). At study end, medical centers (55.1%) had greater all-composite measurements of safety culture than regional hospitals (52.4%) and community hospitals (52.2%) while physicians (63.7%) maintained greater measurements of safety culture than nurses (52.1%) and pharmaceutical staff (56.6%). Conclusion These results suggest patient safety culture improved in Taiwan from 2009 to 2016.
