Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACT:After a transgression has occurred within an organization, a primary concern is the reintegration of the affected parties (namely offenders and victims) back into the organizational community. However, beyond offenders and victims, reintegration depends on the views of organizational peers and their desire to interact with these parties. In two studies, we demonstrated that offender amends and victim forgiveness interact to predict peer reintegrative outcomes. We found evidence of backlash against unforgiving victims: Peers wanted to work the least with victims who rejected appropriate amends, thus penalizing them for their failure to contribute to the restoration process. This backlash effect was due to decreased liking of the victim and the perceived failure to repair the offender-victim relationship. These findings demonstrate that peers expect both offenders and victims to do their part to achieve reconciliation following transgression, and both may suffer the consequences of failing to meet peer expectations. Implications for reintegration within organizations are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
This article examines the politics of wine making in Alsace in the two decades after the region returned to French rule in 1918. During these years Alsatian wine makers worked to transform their wines to meet the tastes of French drinkers, following five decades of producing wine for German consumption. As wine makers grappled with the question of how to secure the future of their industry, Alsatian wine became emblematic of the most contentious aspects of Alsace's reintegration into France. The introduction of new laws on viticulture raised the question of what was French about wine, the wine industry's woes symbolised the difficulties of Alsace's economic reintegration and wine became an emblem for often fierce wrangling over identity and belonging in the recovered region. This article traces this process and argues that while wine became a symbol of the complications of reintegration, its importance in understandings of French national culture equally allowed it to offer a solution to the problems that return to France caused for Alsace's wine industry in the interwar years. In this way, this case study of the politics of wine making in Alsace is suggestive of wine's broader power as a symbol of national belonging.

Background. Halfway houses (HwH) may support community reintegration of mental health care users and can be effective in meeting occupational needs of residents. However, they are not optimally used in South Africa. Purpose. This study aimed to improve the functioning of a HwH so that it better meets occupational needs of the resident mental health care users. It draws on Doble & Santha ( 2008 ); seven occupational needs. Method. A four-phase Participatory Action Research methodology was used. We conducted thematic analysis to describe met and unmet needs within PAR phases. Findings. Occupational needs of accomplishment, renewal, pleasure and companionship were being met. However, coherence, agency and affirmation needs were not being met. An additional occupational need for interdependence, based on the African ethic of Ubuntu, was identified. Implications. HwH functioning affected residents’ experiences of health and wellbeing. Engagement in collective occupations can contribute to meeting the occupational need of interdependence.

The recruitment and use of child soldiers creates a lasting tear in society, and none so severely as the civil war in the Democratic Republic of Congo. It is estimated that there are 310,000 children who are associated or formerly associated with armed forces or groups. Many (both girls and boys) experience sexual violence prior, during and/or following their association. As Arpita Mitra described in her paper, the scale of the tragedy is both widespread and brutal. She argues that despite the huge sums of financial assistance poured into the area for Disarmament, Demobilization, and Reintegration (DDR) programming, the implementation has failed to meet its goals.

The aim of this review is to determine roles of social workers in mental healthcare teams. This study used a systematic type of literature review in meeting its objective. It involved an online search of articles published in the ProQuest Central database. The search strategy involved retrieving articles using the key words ‘Social Worker’ AND ‘Mental health care’ from the ProQuest Thesaurus.
A total of 47 articles were retrieved from the ProQuest database. After screening and conducting an eligibility test, a total of 37 articles were excluded from the study for failing to meet the study inclusion criteria. We included articles that; were published in the English language from 2015 to 2020, outlined roles of social workers in mental healthcare teams, and had verifiable scientific procedures. The remaining 10 articles were subjected to content analysis after fulfilling all inclusion criteria set for the study. From the results of content analysis of the 10 articles, Four (4) articles showed that roles of social workers in mental healthcare teams were those of social support facilitators, three (3) articles showed that their roles were those of social rehabilitation specialists, two (2) articles indicated that they played roles of social reintegration specialists, while one (1) article showed that their roles were those case managers.
We concluded that in mental healthcare teams, social workers play roles of social support facilitators, social rehabilitation therapists, social reintegration specialists, and case managers.

Life after prison can pose challenges for the formerly incarcerated, their families, and wider communities. This research studies Austria where probation services are either mandated by the court or sought voluntarily after prison. Through semi-structured interviews with formerly incarcerated individuals, reintegration experiences from their perspectives are examined. The narratives emphasized social factors that either assuage or complicate life after prison. The main factors addressed were stable housing, the maintaining and (re)building of relationships, and employment. Overall, a lack of stable housing appeared to complicate life after prison the most and also negatively affected relationships and employment. For some, life after prison was further exacerbated by immigration status and a perceived stigma related to the nature of one’s convictions. This study shows the importance of working towards a better understanding of the social context individuals are released into after prison to better meet their individual needs and to counteract recidivism.

Full textAbstract:
This paper addresses the impact of the recent Asian financial crisis on migration in Bangladesh. The crisis has stemmed the outflow of migrant workers to the affected countries but also diversified the flows as well as sparked rising return migration. Remittances and foreign exchange reserves are likely to be adversely affected. Irregular migration towards more diversified but less remunerative pockets has increased. What is more disconcerting is the increasing trend in the ranks of the already sizable unemployed. The government should gear up retraining, rehabilitation and reintegration measures. Insurance schemes and other safety nets may be introduced to meet unforeseen crisis. Migration is a humanitarian issue. It has to be addressed through a sensible legal regime where interests of both the sending and receiving countries could be accommodated.

Full textAbstract:
As a part of wide research of reintegration of human resources of economy in transition, a new method of identification and measurement of components of organizational culture was shown in this study. Beside usual organizational parameters, in identification of cultural patterns of organizational behavior included were: a perception of employee roles, the role of a director, the locus of control, and subjects' interests. Such an approach is taking into consideration the fact that different components are not at the same general level and depth in organizational culture, and consequently not equally prone to changes. In this research, the sample consisted of 880 employees in six different working organizations from different towns of Yugoslavia. The research was done during 2002. Five special instruments have been developed to meet the outlined conceptualization of the components of organizational culture. Hierarchical factor analysis derived 13 relatively independent components of organizational culture.

Abstract Terrorism criminal law and juvenile criminal law are branches of law that modify default criminal law provisions. In terms of their goals, these approaches mostly oppose each other. While the primary purpose of terrorism law is to meet the security needs of society, juvenile criminal law serves the privileged interests of juveniles and their reintegration to that society. With increasing active recruiting of juveniles by terrorist organizations, the question arises of what legal systems are doing in the face of juvenile terrorist offenses. This paper analyses and compares legal responses to terrorist crimes by juveniles in Germany and Turkey. The authors conclude that in Germany juvenile terrorist offenses are granted the benefits of juvenile criminal law to a higher degree than in Turkey. This has various legal and extra-legal reasons; however, in both legal systems reforms seem necessary to react more adequately to this troubling form of juvenile delinquency.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Rutan Boyolali is an institution that organizes guidance activities for prisoners as a social reintegration process. The guidance that is carried out recently leads to a productive one. One of the efforts to realize the productive correctional institutions can be done through agricultural activities. However, the location of the correctional institutions that are in the middle of urban areas faced the challenge of limited agricultural land. One of the solutions is to carry out the concept of urban farming. Through urban farming, it is hoped that prisoners can become skilled and ready to work when they are free. This concept also can be an innovation and solution in overcoming various problems in prisons. On the other hand, the benefits of urban farming are maintaining food security. The rate of urban development eliminates agricultural land and results in cities no longer being able to meet their food needs independently.

Full textAbstract:
Psychiatry represents the medical branch that focuses not only on the patient’s mental state but also on general health issues and wellbeing. With the continuous development of human civilization, the individual no longer uses aggression, a counterproductive method for day to day living in the community, to meet its basic needs. Neurobiological changes that lead to aggressive manifestations are a medical problem only if the aggressive impulses occur in a person with a psychiatric diagnosis already established and poses a danger to himself and others. Aggressive behaviour due to a medical condition or biological factors is an old problem that has great forensic implications both for the patient and for the medical staff. Decreased quality of life, low emotional support and social marginalization are some of the repercussions that emerge. Understanding the negative effects of aggressive impulses found in multiple psychiatric diagnoses is the key to an optimal doctor-patient relationship. An individualized treatment is necessary, the final goal being social reintegration.

The article considers the influence of the image of homeless people on the process of communication with them with the aim of their social reintegration. Research methods: theoretical analysis of the main approaches to homelessness in interdisciplinary discourse, systematization, and generalization of the specifics and transformation of communication with homeless people in modern Ukrainian society. The novelty of the study: it is emphasized that the idea of the homeless should be productive. The authors summarize the main changes that have taken place in the Ukrainian communicative space in relation to the homeless as a socially vulnerable and problematic group. First, in order to overcome the stigma of homelessness and provide comprehensive services to the homeless in Ukraine, the names of the centers caring for people in homelessness are being humanized. Secondly, communication with the homeless is becoming more widespread in the development of social entrepreneurship, the potential of which is significant. However, but scientists have not yet systematically and comprehensively studied, the existing studies have been technologically and organizationally unsound and, consequently, inexhaustible. Thirdly, the topic of homelessness is relevant in the media through the so-called street publications, which are becoming the "voice of the poor." As a rule, public organizations and the homeless themselves are involved in the process of spreading this idea through street publications. The latter distributes these publications, earning money to meet their needs. This world experience is also used in Ukrainian society, but it is somewhat limited and without sufficient support from state institutions, territorial communities, and local self-government. Fourthly, it is the involvement of charitable foundations and organizations in active communication with the homeless. First of all, we are talking about programs for the reintegration of homeless people, which show their effectiveness and act as an innovation that can spread in modern Ukrainian society. The author's program of communicative training was conducted with social workers in order to form in them a productive idea of communication with the homeless in the process of providing them with social services. At the same time, social workers in the process of communicating with the homeless need a sense of personal security and the availability of appropriate communicative competencies.

Breast Cancer is among the most common cancer in women. Breast Cancer’s aggressiveness truly depends on the age of patient, status of lymph node and size of the tumor. Prognosis may the unfavorable if the age of woman is under 35. Breast cancer, usually, is diagnosed when it is in the advance stage. Looking at all the aspects, this paper analyzes and identifies the socio-economic, psychological and biological implications for the breast cancer in women. In order to meet the objective, the paper applies the qualitative approach and reads all the available literature to find the answers. The results of surveying all the available literature depicts that detection of this cancer at earliest stages is in the benefit of the patient. This benefit is not in case of medical/bio reasons only but also for socio-economic and psychological perspectives. This paper further finds that if the cancer diagnosed in the earliest stages, it not only shorten the hospitalized period but also save a handsome amount of treatment, give satisfactory psychological comforts and a very good life prognosis that results into a rapid familial and social reintegration.

Seeking to align psychiatric practice with general medicine following the inauguration of the National Health Service, psychiatric hospitals in post-war Britain deployed new treatments designed to induce somatic change, such as ECT, leucotomy and sedatives. Advocates of these treatments, often grouped together under the term ‘physical therapies’, expressed relief that the social problems encountered by patients could now be interpreted as symptomatic of underlying biological malfunction rather than as a cause of disorder that required treatment. Drawing on the British Journal of Psychiatric Social Work, this article analyses the critique articulated by psychiatric social workers based within hospitals who sought to facilitate the social reintegration of patients following treatment. It explores the development of ‘psychiatric social treatment’, an approach devised by psychiatric social workers to meet the needs of people with enduring mental health problems in hospital and community settings that sought to alleviate distress and improve social functioning by changing an individual’s social environment and interpersonal relationships. ‘Physical’ and ‘social’ models of psychiatric treatment, this article argues, contested not only the aetiology of mental illness but also the nature of care, treatment and cure.

IntroductionIn the USA, incarcerated women are disproportionately affected by sexually transmitted infections (STIs) including HIV. Transitioning from incarceration into the community is accompanied by elevated risk behaviours related to acquisition of STIs, yet few efficacious interventions address sexual health prevention among incarcerated women.MethodsWe conducted an exploratory qualitative study with 21 incarcerated women at four women’s state prison facilities in two Northeastern states in the USA. Qualitative data were gathered from four focus groups to guide future intervention development. Focus group discussions were guided by a semi-structured protocol exploring perceptions of sexual health prevention methods, experience with implementing prevention technologies and protective behaviours, and strategies to overcome challenges in implementing sexual health prevention behaviours. Focus groups were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. Data were analysed using thematic analysis.ResultsWomen described challenges in uptake of existing low-cost sexual health prevention strategies such as condoms. They identified strategies to facilitate use of prevention tools, and to increase protective behaviours relating to sexual health during the transition from incarceration to the community. For example, women described methods for eroticising male and female condoms, including selecting condoms with novel features, explaining to partners that condoms could increase sexual pleasure, and incorporating condom application into foreplay and/or oral sex.ConclusionIncorporating these insights, including how to eroticise safe sex, can inform the design of future preventive interventions tailored to meet the urgent sexual health needs of incarcerated women preparing for reintegration into the community.Clinical trial registrationNCT01907126.

Abstract Objective Cardiovascular disease (CVD) and its risk factors disproportionately affect people returning from incarceration. These individuals face multiple barriers to obtaining care, which can impact CVD and risk factor management and may be mitigated through use of a smartphone application (app). Therefore, we explored the CVD-related needs of people released from incarceration and which app features would support these needs. Materials and Methods In 2019, we collected qualitative data through 7 focus groups with 76 returning citizens and 19 key informants through interviews and small group discussions in Baltimore, Maryland. Verbal data were audio-recorded, transcribed, and analyzed using inductive thematic coding with N-Vivo qualitative software. Results Returning citizens face multiple barriers when trying to engage in care and services related to cardiovascular health, including around medications and health insurance. Some major challenges were identifying trusted social services and making cardiovascular health a priority. Findings suggested that CVD risk factors could be more effectively addressed in combination with attending to other pressing needs related to employment, housing, behavioral health, and building trust. Participants suggested that a smartphone app would be most useful if it broadly addressed these issues by linking returning citizens to social services, including recommendations from peers, and facilitating access to healthcare. Discussion Returning citizens need broad support for societal reintegration. Addressing social issues would allow them to focus on cardiovascular health. Conclusion Given the challenges experienced after release from incarceration, an app focused on social and health-access issues may help returning citizens meet their CVD needs.

Abstract Burn care and medical education have undergone dramatic changes. Trauma has over seven courses covering fundamentals, whereas burns has one. Our goal was to develop a course to meet the needs of healthcare professionals requiring more advanced burn management training. A survey was distributed to burn physicians, nurses, therapists, administrators, and survivors, to assess the perceived proficiency of those managing adult and pediatric patients. Procedure simulators were developed, and a course was designed and delivered. An after-course survey of participants captured how this course filled identified knowledge gaps. A total of 188 initial surveys were sent to individuals involved in burn care. A diverse pool of 109 individuals participated (58% response rate). Survey results by providers demonstrated the lowest self-rated proficiency scores at managing large pediatric burns and frostbite. Nonphysicians reported low proficiency in developing wound treatment algorithms, performing escharotomies, and aftercare/reintegration. Following rigorous curriculum development, the course was conducted, and after-course surveys noted students’ improved understanding of managing burn injuries, ability to troubleshoot, confidence to manage patients, and their recommending the course to a peer. Providing quality care beyond the initial assessment and stabilization of a burn-injured patient requires additional skills and knowledge. Providers that are uncomfortable or challenged in providing this care may benefit from additional training. Initial data show that a course, such as this one, provides the education necessary to fill the most commonly reported gaps in knowledge and skills. Further work is being invested to develop disaster management skills, assessment components, and further determine course validity

Full textAbstract:
Aims.In low-income countries, care for people with severe mental disorders (SMDs) who manage to access treatment is usually emergency-based, intermittent or narrowly biomedical. The aim of this study was to inform development of a scalable district-level mental health care plan to meet the long-term care needs of people with SMD in rural Ethiopia.Methods.The present study was carried out as formative work for the Programme for Improving Mental health CarE which seeks to develop, implement and evaluate a district level model of integrating mental health care into primary care. Six focus group discussions and 25 in-depth interviews were conducted with service planners, primary care providers, traditional and religious healers, mental health service users, caregivers and community representatives. Framework analysis was used, with findings mapped onto the domains of the Innovative Care for Chronic Conditions (ICCC) framework.Results.Three main themes were identified. (1) Focused on ‘Restoring the person's life’, including the need for interventions to address basic needs for food, shelter and livelihoods, as well as spiritual recovery and reintegration into society. All respondents considered this to be important, but service users gave particular emphasis to this aspect of care. (2) Engaging with families, addressed the essential role of families, their need for practical and emotional support, and the importance of equipping families to provide a therapeutic environment. (3) Delivering collaborative, long-term care, focused on enhancing accessibility to biomedical mental health care, utilising community-based health workers and volunteers as an untapped resource to support adherence and engagement with services, learning from experience of service models for chronic communicable diseases (HIV and tuberculosis) and integrating the role of traditional and religious healers alongside biomedical care. Biomedical approaches were more strongly endorsed by health workers, with traditional healers, religious leaders and service users more inclined to see medication as but one component of care. The salience of poverty to service planning was cross-cutting.Conclusions.Stakeholders prioritised interventions to meet basic needs for survival and endorsed a multi-faceted approach to promoting recovery from SMD, including social recovery. However, sole reliance on this over-stretched community to mobilise the necessary resources may not be feasible. An adapted form of the ICCC framework appeared highly applicable to planning an acceptable, feasible and sustainable model of care.

Full textAbstract:
Corruption has occurred systematically and widely, causing state financial losses, as well as violating the social and economic rights of the community at large. The most common punishment imposed on perpetrators of corruption is imprisonment. Law Number 12 of 1999 concerning Corrections states that one of the rights of prisoners is to obtain a reduction in their criminal period or remission, not least for prisoners who are perpetrators of corruption. The government has issued Government Regulation Number 28 of 2006 concerning the Terms and Procedures for the Implementation of the Rights of Correctional Inmates. Convicts of criminal acts of corruption can be given remission if they meet the requirements of good behavior and have served 1/3 (one third) of their criminal period. The study was conducted to find out the things that became the basis for granting remissions to prisoners, including convicts who were perpetrators of criminal acts of corruption and to find out how the legal arrangements for granting remissions to prisoners who were perpetrators of corruption in positive law in Indonesia. The type of research is normative juridical research. The data was collected through a literature study, and the data obtained were processed using qualitative data processing methods. This qualitative analysis is then linked to relevant problems and theories so that the data obtained are descriptive. The results of the analysis show that the correctional system seeks to realize the social reintegration of prisoners in prison, therefore the basis for granting remissions to prisoners is to motivate prisoners to behave well and accelerate prisoners who are well behaved so that they can be released and return to society before the actual date of freedom. The legal rules for granting remissions to convicts who commit corruption crimes are Government Regulation Number 28 of 2006, but have not been equipped with implementing regulations. The government should immediately provide clarity to this regulation by issuing implementing regulations so as to provide legal certainty for the Directorate General of Corrections.

Full textAbstract:
The article is devoted to the problem of religious education that may be of great importance to rehabilitate and reform the offender or prisoner. As the problem of crime is one of growing importance, every means available should be used to reform and train the prisoner so that when he leaves the penitentiary he will go out and become a useful member of society. The various reasons for inmate religious involvement are investigated, such as many psychological and emotional benefits, improving their own self-concept, use religion to help change their behavior or to gain physical protection, to meet other inmates or volunteers of the opposite sex. It is proved that inmates can acquire a number of positive characteristics from the practice of religion in prison, because serious religious involvement promotes self-discipline, self-introspection, and concern for others, psychological peace of mind, positive self-concept and improvements in self-control and intellectual abilities. According to the law of many countries, correctional institutions must provide inmates with legal rights concerning the practice of religion and attending religious services, but considering security of the institution.
The programs aimed at the successful reintegration of inmates into the community need the assistance of religious personnel to find employment and promote positive family relationships. There has been considered that the prison chaplain has greater potential opportunities in helping to rehabilitate the prisoner, he has shown the most interest in criminals and has been motivated by a religious spirit or a welfare mission. The article analyzes characteristics that the modern prison chaplain must use; he should be extreme tactful, frank, honest, and truthful, careful to keep his promises, sympathetic, must know something about the social sciences and should be a man of strong and attractive personality. The chaplain’s duties and obligations are analyzed. One of the aims of a chaplain is to analyze the inmates' religious and social background, diagnose their deficiencies, and plan for their future. It is noted that whatever the changes in corrections and larger society, because of the historical and legal foundation of religion in corrections it will continue to be an active part of prison life and inmates’ rehabilitation.
Key words: religious education; correctional institutions; inmates; prisoners’ rehabilitation; a correctional chaplain.

Full textAbstract:
Resilience-focused psychotherapeutic interventions can be useful in accelerating the recovery and social reintegration of people with traumatic brain injury (TBI). The number of English-language publications in which authors discuss about resilience-oriented interventions has been growing rapidly in recent years. However, no summarizing of research on resilience-based interventions for people with traumatic brain injury has been made in recent years. The purpose of this study is to analyze and systematize modern resilience-oriented interventions for people with trauma and use them as prototypes to develop our own resilience-oriented program of psychocorrection. Articles for the last 5 years – from January 2016 to February 2021 – were analyzed. The search for scientific literature was conducted using PubMed and APA PsychNET. After analyzing the content and rejection of articles that did not meet the inclusion criteria, the review included 6 original articles, which describe 5 resilience-oriented interventions. The structure and format of the sessions of the analyzed programs are quite variable. The duration of one session varies from 30 to 90 minutes with a frequency of 1 time per week. All analyzed interventions are based on different approaches to understanding resilience and, accordingly, different methods of evaluating results. In addition, most of the analyzed psychocorrection programs focus on many phenomena and possible resilience factors and do not have a single theory or model as a basis. At the same time, a number of models that identify specific components or groups of components and designed to facilitate the selection of therapy targets have been developed in recent years. In further research and interventions, it is promising to focus on key aspects or categories, among which a number of cognitive and emotional components of resilience are distinguished. Currently, there are only the first results of the effectiveness of resilience-oriented interventions in TBI. However, these results allow us to make two important conclusions: 1) by influencing psychological processes, it is potentially possible to achieve a reduction in the intensity of traumatic brain injury symptoms; 2) resilience is a promising target for psychological interventions in traumatic brain injury. After the analysis and systematization of approaches to resilience training, we have developed our own resilience-oriented intervention. The effectiveness of our program will be studied further. Prospects for further research are development and analysis of the effectiveness of interventions aimed at cognitive and emotional components of resilience, adapted to cognitive deficits due to trauma, filled with specific training to develop new skills as well as development of interventions for traumatic brain injury in remote period. As an example of such interventions, we present the program of our own resilience-oriented intervention.

Purpose – This paper aims to propose a knowledge transfer partnership (KTP) model, using higher education (HE) students researching in the UK. It is focused on community engagement via charitable trusts, New Opportunities Wirksworth (NOW) & Ecclesbourne Valley Rail (EVR). The researchers designed and implemented a pilot study that explored the potential of a small, yet attractive and active, market town to diversify and regenerate using tourism. This project, which has been funded by the UK Higher Education Innovation Fund (HEIF), has been devised to operate and monitor a KTP in the culturally important heritage market town of Wirksworth, in Derbyshire. Design/methodology/approach – A systems-thinking constructivist approach is used and employs problem-based learning (PBL) through engagement of students in research and data collection. The authors identified that skills for sustainable development within the community are dependent on the reintegration of complex, inter-dependent and inter-disciplinary factors. A holistic approach to the learning and knowledge shared within the community underpins UK initiatives to promote capacity development in ways to change knowledge applications across product and service boundaries. Therefore, in addition to encouraging diversification and regeneration through tourism, this project supported the University of Derby's academic agenda to promote experiential and entrepreneurial learning in students working at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. This paper accords with the current university initiatives to meet the student employability agenda through the application of PBL and knowledge management. Findings – The creation of outcomes and recommendations for Wirksworth's stakeholders provides sustainability through the knowledge creation and sharing processes. There are seven outcomes that chart a path to development and knowledge transfer (KT) and sharing. The authors simultaneously provided an environment for students to gain skills and a community to acquire new knowledge, and these are the outcomes and output of this project. New learning styles may support inclusive academic practice (see related samples of PBL such as Ineson and Beresford in HLST resources 2001). Implications for building a KT community through the social capital accumulated in the project are explored. Originality/value – In taking PBL from the classroom to the community, the authors have created a new KT environment in which skills can be acquired and a regeneration strategy can be tested in a work-or-practice-related setting. Students recognise that they are building learning for themselves that is unique in that it cannot be recreated in a classroom setting. The authors see this project developing into a robust long-term partnership between communities and institutions with KT benefits to teaching staff in addition to students. These benefits will include new skills for PBL, working collaboratively with partners in the community to develop key skills in HE students, innovation in assessment, inclusive learning and teaching, experiential and entrepreneurial learning in practice.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Background Schizophrenia is a complex disorder typically defined by the presence of positive symptoms that include hallucinations, delusions, and disorganisation in speech and behaviour, negative symptoms of avolition and social withdrawal, and a decline in functioning. Despite an ability to treat clinical symptoms, functional recovery in schizophrenia remains poor. The Recovery Day Program at the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre is a multi-disciplinary intervention tailored to help people living with schizophrenia attain recovery goals, lead more satisfying lives, engage in activities, develop a social network and assist in community reintegration. Eligibility criteria are: 18 years of age or older, meet DSM V criteria for Schizophrenia Spectrum illness, have clinical needs that cannot be met in the community, have housing, require intensive recovery support/integration into community, be able to engage in day hospital programming and develop recovery goals. Maximum number of day clients in Day Program is 20. Client admissions began in June 2016. As of November 2019, there have been 50 admissions with 29 discharges. Age range of clients was 20–60 years (mean 36.5). Clients were invited to provide feedback on their experience with the Day Program for program evaluation and improvement of service. Methods A qualitative and quantitative evaluation of functional outcomes and patient satisfaction was conducted. Measures were administered at admission and discharge: The Illness Management and Recovery Scale (IMRS), a custom-generated activity and goal attainment scale, Quality of Life Scale, The World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0, the Modified Global Assessment of Functioning Scale and the Clinical Global Impression Scale. The Ontario Perception of Care Survey for Mental Health and Addictions (OPOC) was administered during a two month period from January 2019. Results Discharge results were available for 29 individuals out of 50 admissions. Clients identified goals in areas including vocational, social, educational, symptom management, optimizing independence, minimizing substance use, managing finances and stable housing; group and individual interventions targeted these areas. Interventions occur at the hospital and in the community. Results of the activity summary identify significant change in community integration in the following areas: employment (admission 5% and discharge 47%), unpaid/volunteer work (admission 11% and discharge 42%), course or study (admission 0% and discharge 32%), social/recreation/group activities (admission 63% and discharge 100%). Results show a significant increase in IMRS scores over time. Goal achievement was statistically significant according to the goal attainment scale (mean at intake 3.4 and at discharge 8.6). Results show that goal importance did not change over time. Open ended questions about day programming were added to the OPOC. Of 15 respondents, the average length of time in the Program was 16 months. Majority of respondents attended as much as they liked, while those unable to attend as much as they wanted, identified that increased attendance may have been helpful to achieving their goals. Discussion Overall, clients were very satisfied with services provided. There were significant achievements in goal attainment over time with targeted interventions provided in functional domains including employment, unpaid/volunteer work, course of study and social/recreation activities. Our data suggest that a medium term, intensive day program increases functional outcomes and personal satisfaction for individuals with a Schizophrenia Spectrum disorder. Further study would be important to assess how these changes are sustained over time.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Combat missions in the Middle East have resulted in approximately 52,000 U.S. veterans who have been wounded in action, with 10% of whom suffered burn injuries. More than 90% of the wounded survived, but many were unable to return to military service. The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors that impacted reintegration of veterans with combat burn injuries. Using a mixed-methods approach and analysis, we asked veterans with combat burns “What was your experience reintegrating into the civilian community?” Additionally, we administered the Community Reintegration of Injured Service Members (CRIS) tool to measure the current level of reintegration. Six veterans with combat burn injury identified two major themes: supportive communities and future-oriented thinking. Supportive communities are defined as communities that are veteran-specific, provide long-term burn/injury care, are financially beneficial, and support hobbies, education, and work opportunities. Future-oriented thinking is defined as thinking in which a veteran experiences a turning point in recovery, has a desire to serve others, develops new meaning in life, and experiences posttraumatic growth. In both themes, peer support was a key component. Community reintegration was enhanced by future-oriented thinking and a supportive community, both of which can be buoyed by peer support. These findings are similar to other studies noting the importance of peer support for veterans. Studies of civilians burn survivors describe similar reintegration issues. These two factors may also be applicable to those survivors. Further qualitative inquiry into peer support in the burn community at large may reveal more actionable evidence which could enable burn survivors to meet the long-term goal of community reintegration.

Full textAbstract:
The relationship between teaching and research is a touchstone in thinking about higher education. However, the last 40 years has seen the 'dislocation' of these core academic activities as a result of policy and operational decisions to distinguish the way they are funded, managed, assessed and rewarded. The activities of 'teaching' and 'research' are also disintegrating and the roles fragmenting, which, paradoxically, is allowing their reintegration in novel and innovative ways. However, this process cannot, ultimately, be successful without the fundamental reconfiguration of academic work to meet the needs of a different student cohort and a changing society and economy.

Full textAbstract:
My paper examines the gendered nature of Odysseus’ mêtis, a Greek word describing characteristics of cleverness and intelligence, in Homer’s Odyssey. While Odysseus’ mêtis has been discussed in terms of his storytelling, disguise, and craftsmanship, I contend that in order to fully understand his cleverness, we must place Odysseus’ mêtis in conversation with the mêtis of the crafty women who populate the epic. I discuss weaving as a stereotypically feminine manifestation of mêtis, arguing that Odysseus’ reintegration into his home serves as a metaphorical form of weaving—one that he adapts from the clever women he encounters on his journey home from Troy. Athena serves as the starting point for my discussion of mêtis, and I then turn to Calypso and Circe—two crafty weavers who attempt to ensnare Odysseus on their islands. I also examine Helen, whom Odysseus himself does not meet, but whose weaving is importantly witnessed by Odysseus’ son Telemachus, who later draws upon the craft of weaving in his efforts to help Odysseus restore order in his home. The last woman I present is Penelope, whose clever and prolonged weaving scheme helps her evade marriage as she awaits Odysseus’ return, and whose lead Odysseus follows in his own prolonged reentry into his home. I finally demonstrate the way that Odysseus reintegrates himself into his household through a calculated and metaphorical act of weaving, arguing that it is Odysseus’ willingness to embrace a more feminine model of mêtis embodied by the women he encounters that sets him apart from his fellow male warriors and enables his successful homecoming.

Full textAbstract:
Background: People with spinal cord injury (PWSCI) who use wheelchairs for mobility tend to be physically inactive because of their limited mobility. Poor endurance and exercise tolerance, associated with poor physical fitness, can make it challenging to meet the physical demands of activities such as manoeuvring a wheelchair over gravel roads. This may lead to poor community participation in activities PWSCI were involved in pre-morbidly. To date, no studies have been conducted in South Africa on what the relationship is between physical fitness and community participation in PWSCI.Aim: The purpose of this study was to establish the relationship between physical fitness and community participation in PWSCI.Methodology: An exploratory cross-sectional survey was conducted on PWSCI living in the Greater Tshwane Metropolitan City. Physical fitness was measured using the 6 minute push test (6MPT) and the Borg scale. Community participation was measured using the Reintegration to Normal Living Index (RNLI). The data were analysed using the Spearman’s Rank correlation at a 5% level of significance.Results: Moderate to poor associations were found between the 6MPT and the Borg scale with the RNLI (r = 0.637; p < 0.001 and r = −0.325; p = 0.013, respectively). These results indicate that the participants who were able to push further in 6 min and had better endurance were more satisfied with their perceived community participation.Conclusion: This study shows that there is a relationship between physical fitness and community participation in PWSCI. Information gained from this study lays the foundation for more studies in this area, and for possible improvement in rehabilitation practice.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Background Demand for stroke rehabilitation is expected to grow dramatically; with the estimated prevalence of stroke survivors rising to 70 million worldwide by 2030. The World Health Organization’s (WHO) report - Rehabilitation 2030: A call for action – has introduced the objective of ‘upscaling’ rehabilitation globally to meet demand. This research explored what upscaling stroke rehabilitation might mean for health professionals from countries at different stages of economic development. Methods Qualitative descriptive study design using semi-structured interviews was employed. Purposively sampled, clinical leaders in stroke rehabilitation were recruited for interviews from low through to high-income countries. Results Twelve rehabilitation professionals (medicine, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech and language therapy) from high (United States of America, Germany, United Kingdom, United Arab Emirates, New Zealand), upper-middle (Colombia and Turkey), lower-middle (Vietnam, Pakistan, Ghana), and low-income countries (Nepal and Sierra Leone) were interviewed. Upscaling was seen as a necessity. Successful scaling up will require initiatives addressing: political governance and managerial leadership, increasing knowledge and awareness of the value of rehabilitation, financial support, workforce developments, physical space and infrastructure, and the development of community services and reintegration. Conclusion Although there have been many gains within the development of stroke rehabilitation internationally, further investment is required to ensure that this patient population group continues to receive the best quality services. For the WHO to be successful in implementing their objective to upscale rehabilitation, specific attention will need to be paid to political, professional, economic, and sociocultural issues at global and local levels.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Stroke recovery is a different experience for every survivor. The recovery process can continue for many years after the initial event. Reintegration into the community can be difficult, as stroke patients have both short and long-term needs. A stroke support group must be flexible enough to assist patients over the time spectrum of their recovery. Our stroke support group was established 21 years ago and has many of its original members still active as leaders. Because younger people are having strokes and have different recovery demands, we were concerned that our program had not evolved to meet the full spectrum of our patients’ needs. Purpose: To evaluate our current program with the goal to update and expand its programming. Methods: Stroke group members were asked for their suggestions to improve the program. A multidisciplinary team then met to review ideas and design action plans. Results: As a result of the suggestions, the following program changes have been made: 1) a new program brochure was created with snapshots of members to reinforce that strokes do not always make people invalids; 2) support group meetings are now scheduled at two times on the same day of the month: during the afternoon for members who want to be home before dark, and in the evening for members (younger stroke survivors/caregivers) who want to attend after work; 3) the older group has changed their name to “Stroke Survivors & Thrivers”, and its members have volunteered to visit patients in the hospital and to make phone calls to stroke patients and their caregivers; 4) creation of a steering committee to facilitate meeting organization; 5) meeting content selection is done by group members; 6) quarterly sessions devoted to open discussions for idea sharing and questions; 7) information is provided via social media sites, email, and the stroke center web site in addition to traditional mailings; and 8) both groups join together to participate in the annual American Heart Association Heart & Stroke Walk. Conclusions: Involving members of the Stroke Support Group to participate in the structure and function of the program has increased member satisfaction, improved attendance at meetings, and allowed the program to reach a broader range of survivors. As a result, the Support Group has become empowered to meet the needs of more stroke survivors and their caregivers in our community - helping them to become Thrivers as well.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Background The transition to the community after incarceration presents challenges for returning citizens, including the immediate need to secure housing, employment, and income. Additionally, health care is essential for this population due to high rates of chronic physical health and mental health problems and substance use disorders. There is growing recognition of the need for interventions that support returning citizens as they navigate community reintegration while simultaneously tending to physical and behavioral health needs. We developed and pilot tested a peer support intervention designed to provide social, emotional, and logistic support and promote linkage and engagement in healthcare for returning citizens. We tested the intervention with US military veterans in Massachusetts who were being released from prison and jail. Outcomes related to linkage to and engagement in healthcare were evaluated using an historical comparison group. Engagement in peer support, housing status, and reincarceration rates were monitored for the intervention group. Results There were 43 veterans in the intervention group, and 36 in the historical comparison group. For linkage to primary care within 90 days of release, there were no statistically significant differences between the intervention and comparison groups (58% versus 67%). Intervention participants were significantly more likely to receive substance use treatment than the comparison group (86% versus 19%, p < .0001) and the mean monthly substance use visits was greater in the intervention group (0.96 versus 0.34, p < .007). Engagement in mental health services was greater for the intervention group than the comparison group (93% versus 64%, p < .003). There were no significant differences between groups for emergency department use and hospitalization. At the end of the study period, the majority of intervention participants who had been released for over a year were living in permanent housing (84%). Recidivism among the was low, with 7% re-arrested during the study period. Conclusions Augmenting reentry support through intensive peer support appears to have substantial benefits for veterans in terms of engaging them in health care and contributing to their longer-term stability, including housing and recidivism. Flexible reentry support such as this intervention may be well suited to meet the widely varying needs of returning citizens.
