Abstract:
The dissertation culminates in an artifact creation called the Practitioner Driven Action Research (PDAR) framework. It was conceptualized, refined, and field-tested during a yearlong Action Research project at the United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM). PDAR focuses on immediate problem-solving and driving practitioners towards adopting action-driven outcomes grounded in Action Research. The framework seeks to help practitioners across USSOCOM approach organizational problem-solving more systematically and scientifically along with better integrating academic resources into the process.

Abstract:
Aim: To determine the nurse practitioner's perception of scope of practice and understanding of changes to practice over time. Background: A great deal of research about nurse practitioners has been conducted related to such things as role clarity, transition, or preparedness to practice and job satisfaction. Conceptual models of nurse practitioner practice have been developed to highlight practice processes, interprofessional relationships and more. However, none of this literature addresses nurse practitioner's perception of scope of practice, the impact of their changing practice experiences and how the understanding of their practice changes over time. Methods: This grounded theory study was undertaken in Ontario, Canada, with interviews of primary health care nurse practitioners which resulted in the Theory of the Evolution of Nurse Practitioner Practice. Conclusion: Within this theory, scope of practice is defined as nurse practitioners working to their maximum potential. There are both intrinsic and extrinsic elements which render maximum practice potential a fluid and changing state.

Abstract:
The purpose of this paper is to examine some determinants of the quality of accounting information. This paper focuses on causes occurring at the individual accounting practitioner’s level that contribute to the perceived usefulness of accounting information. Practitioners are argued to respond to the pressures, created by multiple layers of regulatory, professional and organizational rule making bodies, by a feeling of defenselessness that emanates from possible disagreements with established rules. Practitioner frustration with these rules (which are sometimes perceived as dogmatic) and the impending threat of litigation forces practitioners to conform to these rules. Not only does this frustration reduce the capacity of the practitioner to act professionally, but also attaches a stigma to the practitioner’s self-perception.

Abstract:
Objective: To explore how practitioner engagement and disengagement occurred, and how these may influence patient care and engagement. Design: A qualitative study using the Voice Centred Relational Methodology. Data included interviews, focus groups and observations. Setting: Inpatient and community stroke rehabilitation services. Subjects: Eleven people experiencing communication disability after stroke and 42 rehabilitation practitioners. Interventions: Not applicable. Results: The practitioner’s engagement was important in patient engagement and service delivery. When patients considered practitioners were engaged, this helped engagement. When they considered practitioners were not engaged, their engagement was negatively affected. Practitioners considered their engagement was important but complex. It influenced how they worked and how they perceived the patient. Disengagement was taboo. It arose when not feeling confident, when not positively impacting outcomes, or when having an emotional response to a patient or interaction. Each party’s engagement influenced the other, suggesting it was co-constructed. Conclusions: Practitioner engagement influenced patient engagement in stroke rehabilitation. Practitioner disengagement was reported by most practitioners but was often a source of shame.

Abstract:
The chosen methods of applied sport psychology practitioners should be underpinned by their personal core beliefs and values (Poczwardowski, Sherman, & Ravizza, 2004). However, many novice practitioners unquestioningly adopt the dominant method of the field (Fishman, 1999), and thus might find themselves incongruent in terms of their professional philosophy (Tudor & Worrall, 2004). This article aims to highlight questions that practitioners might reflect on to achieve greater congruence in terms of their philosophy of practice. Autoethnographic accounts of consultancies by a recently qualified practitioner are used to explore one practitioner’s journey toward congruence in professional philosophy. Insights arising from these consultancies for the practitioner are provided, and the wider implications for the training and certification and accreditation of practitioners are considered.

Abstract:
This article addresses the challenging conundrum of when to offer psychotherapy versus mental skills training. To highlight aspects of this dilemma, we describe actual cases that illustrate different ways in which clients present and practitioners may respond: (1) mental skills training shifting to therapy; (2) therapeutic work shifting to mental skills training; (3) simultaneous work between two practitioners; or (4) alternating services from the same practitioner. A variety of intervention methods are used based on a number of theoretical orientations and perspectives. The article concludes with some recommendations that may assist the performance-oriented practitioner in decision-making regarding the delicate balance between therapy and mental skills training. Suggestions relate specifically to the nature of the referral, the client’s preferences, the practitioner’s perspective and skill sets, a continuous process of appraisal and adaptation, and the central importance of the athlete-practitioner relationship.

Abstract:
PurposeGiven marketing's fundamentally applied nature, to compare the relative impacts in the academy of work published by three groups – practitioners, practitioner‐academic alliances, and academics.Design/methodology/approach – Social Sciences Citation Index data were used to estimate the influence of 438 articles published by practitioners, practitioner‐academic alliances, and academics in five marketing journals over the period 1970‐2000.Findings – Citations for academic research were more than twice as high as those for practitioners. Conversely, citations for practitioner‐academic research rival those of the academics, and sometimes exceed them.Research limitations/implications – Only considered US marketing journals.Practical implications – Despite some excellent citation evidence for practitioner‐academic work, additional cooperative efforts must be pursued to ensure the relevance of academic marketing research to practitioner needs.Originality/value – This is the only study to “objectively” address the impact of practitioner, practitioner‐academic alliance, and academic research in the academy.

Full text
Abstract:
Growth in the neurointerventional field, as a result of the emergence of thrombectomy as the gold standard treatment for large vessel occlusions, has created complex challenges. In an effort to meet evolving demands and fill workflow gaps, nurse practitioners have taken on highly specialized roles. Neurointerventional care has rapidly evolved similarly to interventional cardiac care, in that nurse practitioners are successfully being incorporated as procedural assistants in catheterization laboratories. Similar utilization of nurse practitioners in interventional neuroradiology holds the capacity to decrease physician workload, mitigate stresses contributing to burn-out, and reallocate more physician time to procedures. Nurse practitioner practice faces procedural, clinical, legal and interpersonal barriers. Despite calls for expanded practice by the Institutes of Medicine, a paucity of nurse practitioner training opportunities exists. Fragmented privileging processes contribute to environments where nurse practitioners must navigate hurdles without established interventional neuroradiology-specific precedent. Increased nurse practitioner mentorship, fluoroscopy law standardization, physician support surrounding nurse practitioner autonomy, and role consistency is imperative for optimal nurse practitioner utilization. Nurse practitioners are uniquely equipped to bridge evolving gaps through the provision of safe, efficacious care, and generating revenue at lower costs. Discussion surrounding nurse practitioner use to bridge workflow gaps is an exciting opportunity for future practice development.

Full text
Abstract:
Training efforts for evidenced based treatments require evaluation, yet the value of practitioner self-reports of skills acquisition has been questioned. Thus, a key issue concerns how accurately practitioners assess their own clinical skills. In the current study, 23 community practitioners participated in training of Motivational Interviewing (MI), completed standardized patient (SP) interviews before and after training, and provided self-ratings of MI elements after each interview. Interview recordings were later coded independently. Results suggest training contributed to: 1) reasonable agreement between practitioner and independent ratings; and 2) more effective use of MI, despite a tendency for practitioners to underestimate training gains. This micro-analysis of training documents initial skill gains along with increased practitioner self-awareness. Further, it exemplifies how practitioner self-ratings and objective skill assessment methods may be used in tandem to more fully describe practitioner learning.

Abstract:
An examination of the length of titles for articles in scientific and practitioner forestry journals found that titles have become longer in the 35-year period from 1977 to present. The average title length in practitioner journals is approaching that of the scientific journals sampled. In comparison, titles of oral presentations targeted to practitioners have remained short. Using title length as an indicator of language there is a disjoint between oral presentations of research developments to practitioners and journal articles for the same audience. A common language is essential for effective knowledge exchange between researcher and practitioner for the new developments to be understood and applied in the correct context. Practitioner journals play an important role in knowledge exchange. Practitioner journal authors, reviewers, and editors should be leery of some potential factors impeding communication between researchers and practitioners in this media.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper examines the concept of backfill and succession planning for an elite speciality nursing group, nurse practitioners. Nurse practitioners work in many public, private, inpatient and outpatient settings across the country. This discussion is relevant to all practicing nurse practitioners, but especially those with their own specific patient group. A nurse practitioner is an elite nursing specialist with specific speciality skills. While present, nurse practitioners can be most effective at holistically managing their patient group. However, if an endorsed nurse practitioner is no longer present, for a short or long interval, their specific skills and abilities cannot be easily substituted or replaced in the short term. This potential compromise in patient care can be detrimental to the developing reputation of the role of the nurse practitioner. In order to address the shortage of specifically skilled nurse practitioners across the country in all specialties, there is a need to forward plan and consider contingencies for succession in the event of short- or long-term absences from the clinical environment. Succession planning is the key to patient safety and the successful implementation of the role of the nurse practitioner. What is known about the topic? While succession planning itself is not a new concept, nurse practitioner role development for the most part has been about advancing innovative nurse-led models of care, as opposed to planning for future needs. What does the paper add? This paper aims to reignite the role development discussion to highlight the need for better alignment of succession planning with the establishment of nurse practitioner roles. What are the implications for the practitioner? Better alignment of succession planning and role development will ensure continuity of nurse practitioner models of care well beyond our pioneering nurse practitioners’ working life.

Abstract:
Background In clinical practice, acupuncture manipulation is highly individualised for each practitioner. Before we establish a standard for acupuncture manipulation, it is important to understand completely the manifestations of acupuncture manipulation in the actual clinic. To examine motion patterns during acupuncture manipulation, we generated a fitted model of practitioners’ motion patterns and evaluated their consistencies in acupuncture manipulation. Methods Using a motion sensor, we obtained real-time motion data from eight experienced practitioners while they conducted acupuncture manipulation using their own techniques. We calculated the average amplitude and duration of a sampled motion unit for each practitioner and, after normalisation, we generated a true regression curve of motion patterns for each practitioner using a generalised additive mixed modelling (GAMM). Results We observed significant differences in rotation amplitude and duration in motion samples among practitioners. GAMM showed marked variations in average regression curves of motion patterns among practitioners but there was strong consistency in motion parameters for individual practitioners. The fitted regression model showed that the true regression curve accounted for an average of 50.2% of variance in the motion pattern for each practitioner. Conclusions Our findings suggest that there is great inter-individual variability between practitioners, but remarkable intra-individual consistency within each practitioner.

Abstract:
It has been well-documented that the degree to which interventions are implemented with fidelity in typical service settings has varied. Frequently, interventions are developed and tested in highly controlled or early adopter settings. Less attention has been given to what implementation looks like in usual care, and which factors promote practitioners' ability to implement with fidelity. Individuals and organizations implementing interventions in the real world receive varying levels of external supports and may apply a new intervention unaided. The purpose of this mixed-methods study was to explore factors that support implementation as intended in local community agencies. In the quantitative phase of this study, 32 case planners implementing Family Connections (FC), a child maltreatment preventive intervention, completed a survey about their perceptions of practitioner and organizational factors related to fidelity. The survey data were connected to case-level fidelity scores to understand the relationship between perceptions and fidelity. The qualitative phase of this study involved further exploration with nine case planner interviews and two separate focus groups with supervisors and agency leadership. The results of this study suggest that supervision is a key contributor to a practitioner's ability to implement an intervention in usual care. The quantitative and qualitative results suggest supervision, including supervisors’ perseverance, proactiveness, knowledge, availability, and skill reinforcement are important components of enhancing a practitioners' ability to learn and use FC. The quantitative results suggest that the level of education was positively associated with fidelity and perceptions of the intervention's limitations may be negatively related to implementation. Additional components that influence implementation for future research emerged from the qualitative phase related to system expectations and policies, individual practitioner attributes, and characteristics of the intervention. Plain Language Abstract This mixed-methods study sought to understand the impact of practitioner and organizational factors on fidelity of a child maltreatment prevention intervention in community-based settings. The study first asked case planners about their perceptions of practitioner and organizational factors related to fidelity through an online survey. This survey was connected to case-level fidelity scores to understand the relationship between perceptions and fidelity. The qualitative phase of this study involved further exploration with nine case planner interviews and two separate focus groups with supervisors and agency leadership. The results of this study suggest that supervision is a key contributor to a practitioner’s ability to implement a maltreatment prevention intervention. Both methods of the study suggest that various aspects of supervision, including supervisors’ perseverance, proactiveness, knowledge, availability, and skill reinforcement are important components of enhancing a practitioner's ability to learn and use the intervention. Additional components that influence the implementation for future research emerged from the qualitative phase related to system expectations and policies, individual practitioner attributes, and characteristics of the intervention.

Abstract:
This study measured the relative academic impact of articles by LIS practitioners by analyzing library and information science articles published between 2005 and 2014. The results revealed that, although practitioners were not the main knowledge contributors, the academic impact of articles by practitioners was not significantly lower than that of articles by academics. No significant differences in academic impact were present between any two types of coauthored articles. Articles from academic–practitioner collaboration were cited earlier than articles from practitioner–practitioner and academic–academic collaborations. This study suggests that LIS practitioners appear to benefit from collaborative scholarship with LIS researchers through more citations and higher impact.

Abstract:
Nurse practitioners have become an increasingly important part of the US medical workforce as they have gained greater practice authority through state-level regulatory changes. This study investigates one labor market impact of this large change in nurse practitioner regulation. Using data from the National Sample Survey of Registered Nurses and a dataset of state-level nurse practitioner prescribing authority, a multivariate estimation is performed analysing the impact of greater practice authority on the probability of a nurse practitioner moving from a state. The empirical results indicate that nurse practitioners in states that grant expanded practice are less likely to move from the state than nurse practitioners in states that have not granted expanded practice authority. The estimated effect is robust and is statistically and economically meaningful. This finding is in concert with and strengthens the wider literature which finds states that grant expanded practice authority to nurse practitioners tend to have larger nurse practitioner populations.

Abstract:
Understanding the practitioner attributes that influence consumers’ preferences is of vital importance to licensing organizations and individual practitioners in the field of sport psychology (Hamberger & Iso-Ahola, 2006; Van Raalte, Brewer, Matheson & Brewer, 1996). This study examined consumer preferences toward three professional titles (sport psychologist, life coach, and neuro-linguistic programming practitioner) and a range of other practitioner characteristics, as well as the extent to which a brief intervention impacted these preferences. Following an assessment of current preferences among athletes (N = 229), researchers presented brief, educational vignettes formed of enhanced information regarding the three professions. Conjoint analysis was used to determine the relative importance of practitioner attributes pre- and postintervention. Interpersonal skills emerged as the most important attribute before intervention. Several significant, postintervention changes emerged in consumer preferences for practitioners, including an increased salience of professional title. The findings are discussed with an emphasis on implications for the training, professional development, and marketing of practitioners to potential clients.

Abstract:
Parenting programs are effective as a means of preventing and treating child emotional and behavioural problems; however, engagement of families from culturally diverse populations has been low. The perceptions of practitioners who conduct parent consultations with families from culturally diverse backgrounds were assessed to examine the perceived suitability of the Triple P – Positive Parenting Program. Practitioners rated the program as moderately acceptable. Previous training in parenting intervention and years of experience working with parents impacted on practitioner ratings, as did the type of practitioner profession. Practitioners identified certain barriers to parents’ participation and preferred traditional face-to-face delivery formats. Practitioner perceptions may influence parental access to parenting programs. To enhance parental access to parenting interventions, practitioners may require additional training and education about parental preferences and evidence based practice.

Abstract:
ObjectiveImmediate action is an emergency power available to Australian health practitioner regulatory boards to protect the public. The aim of this study was to better understand the frequency, determinants and characteristics of immediate action use in Australia. MethodsThis was a retrospective cohort study of 11200 health practitioners named in notifications to the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) between January 2011 and December 2013. All cases were followed until December 2016 to determine their final outcome. ResultsOf 13939 finalised notifications, 3.7% involved immediate action and 9.7% resulted in restrictive final action. Among notifications where restrictive final action was taken, 79% did not involve prior immediate action. Among notifications where immediate action was taken, 48% did not result in restrictive final action. Compared with notifications from the public, the odds of immediate action were higher for notifications lodged by employers (mandatory notifications OR=21.3, 95% CI 13.7–33.2; non-mandatory notifications OR=10.9, 95% CI 6.7–17.8) and by other health practitioners (mandatory notifications OR=11.6, 95% CI 7.6–17.8). Odds of immediate action were also higher if the notification was regulator-initiated (OR=11.6, 95% CI 7.6–17.8), lodged by an external agency such as the police (OR=11.8, 95% CI 7.7–18.1) or was a self-notification by the health practitioner themselves (OR=9.4, 95% CI 5.5–16.0). The odds of immediate action were higher for notifications about substance abuse (OR=9.9, 95% CI 6.9–14.2) and sexual misconduct (OR=5.3, 95% CI 3.5–8.3) than for notifications about communication and clinical care. ConclusionsHealth practitioner regulatory boards in Australia rarely used immediate action as a regulatory tool, but were more likely to do so in response to mandatory notifications or notifications pertaining to substance abuse or sexual misconduct. What is known about this topicHealth practitioner regulatory boards protect the public from harm and maintain quality and standards of health care. Where the perceived risk to public safety is high, boards may suspend or restrict the practice of health practitioners before an investigation has concluded. What does this paper add?This paper is the first study in Australia, and the largest internationally, to examine the frequency, characteristics and predictors of the use of immediate action by health regulatory boards. Although immediate action is rarely used, it is most commonly employed in response to mandatory notifications or notifications pertaining to substance abuse or sexual misconduct. What are the implications for practitioners?Immediate action is a vital regulatory tool. Failing to immediately sanction a health practitioner may expose the public to preventable harm, whereas imposing immediate action where allegations are unfounded can irreparably damage a health practitioner’s career. We hope that this study will assist boards to balance the interests of the public with those of health practitioners.

"Recommendations for Treating Males: An Ethical Rationale for the Inclusion of Testicular Self-Examination (TSE) in a Standard of Care."

Abstract:
The phrase “standard of care” is primarily a legal term representing what procedure a reasonable person (i.e., health practitioner) would administer to patients across similar circumstances. One major concern for health practitioners is delivering and advocating for treatments not defined as a standard of care. While providing such treatments may meet certain ethical imperatives, doing so may unwittingly trigger medical malpractice litigation fears from practitioners. Apprehension to deviate, even slightly, from the standard of care may (seem to) put the practitioner at significant risk for litigation, which, in turn, may limit options for treatment and preventive measures recommended by the practitioner. Specific to testicular treatment, certain guidelines exist for cancer, torsion, vasectomy, and scrotal masses, among others. As it relates to screening, practitioner examination is expected for patients presenting with testicular abnormalities. Testicular self-examination (TSE) advocacy, however, is discouraged by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, which may prompt a general unwillingness among health practitioners to promote the behavior. Considering the benefits TSE has beyond cancer detection, and the historical support it has received among health practitioners, it is paramount to consider the ethical implications of its official “exclusion” from preventive health and clinical care recommendations (i.e., standard of care). Since good ethics should lead practitioner patient care guidelines, not fear of increased malpractice risks, we recommend the development of a standard of care for counseling males to perform TSE.

Abstract:
ABSTRACTHow practitioners conceptualise motor development has important implications for clinical practice, including the framing of the cycle of assessment, prioritisation, intervention, and reassessment. The flexibility and inclusiveness of these frameworks effectively determines what kind of questions are able to be asked concerning the developmental characteristics of children, the kinds of assessment and evaluation tools used to evaluate those characteristics, and the understandings of the processes of motor development that ultimately derive from those investigations.

Abstract:
(1) Background: Patients treated with radiotherapy require follow-up care to detect and treat acute and late side effects, and to monitor for recurrence. The increasing demand for follow-up care poses a challenge for specialists and general practitioners. There is a perception that general practitioners do not have the specialised knowledge of treatment side effects and how to manage these. Knowing the concordance between general practitioner and oncologist clinical assessments can improve confidence in healthcare professionals. This study aimed to measure the level of agreement between general practitioners and radiation oncologists using a standardised clinical assessment; (2) Methods: a cross-sectional clinical practice study; sample aim of 20 breast, prostate or colorectal patients, three years post-radiotherapy treatment; their general practitioner and radiation oncologist; (3) Results: There was acceptable percent agreement (>75%) and a moderate to almost perfect agreement (Fleiss kappa) for all variables between the 15 general practitioner-radiation oncologist dyads; (4) Conclusions: The general practitioner and radiation oncologist concordance of a clinical follow-up assessment for radiation oncology patients is an important finding. These results can reassure both general practitioners and oncologists that general practitioners can provide cancer follow-up care. However, further studies are warranted to confirm the findings and improve reassurance for health professionals.

Abstract:
The Journal of Youth Development’s subtitle is “Bridging Research and Practice,” yet too often our publications reflect a one-way bridge— studies that, at best, have implications for practice. Less represented are practitioner inquiries that rely on practitioner experience and expertise. This special issue aims to bridge the research-practice divide with scholarship produced by youth work practitioners. This article provides a rationale for practitioner inquiry, describes a fellowship effort to support it, and then offers an overview of the ten practitioner inquiries featured in this special issue.

Abstract:
Basic training of the public relations practitioner seems not to be enough. There is an urgent need to train public relations practitioners as specialists within specific: organizations. A basic qualification enables public relations practitioners to enhance their career at any of the numerous organizations available. It is often only then that the public relations practitioner realizes that s/he is not competent to deal with the unique PR requirements for that specific organization and is also unfamiliar with the broad structure and activities oflhat organization. At present there is a lack in specialised occupattonal training opportunities for public relations practitioners at our technikons and universities which need to be addressed ac-cording to research conducted amongst public relations students and medical public relations practitioners. Since heatth in South Africa is a prominent political issue, it is necessary to establish the present and future role of the medical public felations practitioner, and to what extent a need exists in further training of these practitioners. Further training can also add certain competencies to already acquired basic skills necessary for the medical public relations practitioner. Research conducted amongst second and third year public relations students at the Technikon SA, medical public. relations practitioners in the Gauteng Province, and heads of tersiary health institutions revealed that 97,5% of the respondents are in favour of specialised occupational training. It was also found that the present competencies of the medical public relations practitioner are not sufficient. It is concluded that these imbalances should be ad-dressed through further training made available to public relations pracitioners which will enhance the professional status of public relations in organizations.

Abstract:
This article presents data collected in actual occupational therapy practice settings. The purpose of this naturalistic exercise is to provide a better understanding of the characteristics of best practice across the spectrum of practitioners - diplomates, graduates, students and assistants - by exploring the relationships between practitioner and client and noting individual, intragroup and intergroup differences. Two Independent observers viewed and audio-taped eight treatment sessions undertaken by two practitioners from each group. Characterising the interactional process indicated that best practice arises when there is a more egalitarian relationship between practitioner and client and where the practitioner not only encourages but also invites client participation. This behaviour was most evident among diplomates.

Abstract:
This article reports findings from formative research on translating key elements of the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) and American Academy of Pediatrics Practitioner’s Guide for pediatric alcohol misuse to a computerized web- and mobile-compatible format with patient risk screening and tailored decision support content. Five practitioners at an urban primary care center used a prototype computerized version of the NIAAA/American Academy of Pediatrics Practitioner’s Guide with 80 adolescent patients during routine health-care visits. Practitioners reported a high level of practitioner and adolescent patient engagement and satisfaction with the prototype. Study findings indicate that computerization of the NIAAA Practitioner’s Guide is feasible and well accepted by providers and adolescent patients and could be useful for addressing alcohol misuse in primary care settings.

Abstract:
Practicum is one of the academic activities that must be carried out by students at Gunadarma University. It's not just one department that does practicums, but all majors do practicums. One of the practicums that students must do is the Informatics Engineering Laboratory which is intended for students of the Faculty of Industrial Technology. In practicums in several majors, including practicum in the Informatics Engineering Laboratory, if the practitioner does not take part in the practicum for any reason, except for getting a special case, they must make a memo as the practitioner's identity to take part in the practicum again. To make a memo, the practitioner must come to the Informatics Engineering Laboratory Staff room to make a memo. The practitioner can make memos if the practitioner follows the specified time to make memos. Not only does the memo maker have to comply with the time the memo is written, but taking memos also must comply with the time the memo is taken. It can take quite a long time to get the memo because you have to come on time to the Informatics Engineering Laboratory Staff room and wait to pick up the memo. Therefore, the author took the initiative to create a mobile application called "Online Memo Application (E-Memo) Android Based Informatics Engineering Laboratory". With this application, the practitioner can make memos anywhere and anytime and also the practitioner can come to the Informatics Engineering Laboratory Staff room to validate the memo which is useful for checking the authenticity of the memo. This application is made with the Dart programming language with the Flutter framework. This application is also made using Android Studio and Firebase as a place to accommodate data on practitioners who have made memos. This application runs on Android Version 5.0 with the code name Nougat and above.
