Full textThe study of transformative learning within collaborative teams was conducted to gain new applicable knowledge used to influence overall school improvement and implementation of professional learning communities. To obtain this new knowledge, the Professional Learning Community Collaborative Team Survey (CTS) was developed and psychometrically tested to identify indicators of transformative learning within collaborative teams. The CTS was sent to a purposive sample of 25 northwest Missouri schools that had undergone at least three years of membership within the Missouri Professional Learning Communities (MPLC) Project. Nineteen of the selected 25 schools chose to administer the CTS to an estimated overall sample of 457 teachers. The Northwest Missouri Region 5 Regional Professional Development Center (RPDC) provided blinded archival data of 234 to 255 responses per CTS item. Conclusions indicated the CTS was a reliable and valid instrument. Principal component analysis yielded two components confirming transformative learning within collaborative teams: (a) Purposeful Work and (b) Productive Relationships. A data reduction process produced two alternate versions of the CTS, which were also determined to be reliable and valid.

Full textPeer assessment is used by health care professionals as a way to share knowledge and evaluate the performance of colleagues. Peer assessment is used widely in medical education as a preparatory tool for students, but peer assessment research in athletic training education is lacking. Athletic trainers are healthcare providers with a similar skill-set to physicians, thus, athletic training education can benefit from the use of peer assessment. Athletic training educators need to research the use of peer assessment as an evaluation tool in order to better prepare students to practice as healthcare professionals. This study investigated the accuracy and reliability of undergraduate athletic training students in their ability to assess their peers. This quasi-experimental study used between-group and within-group designs to answer the research questions. Junior-level students, senior-level students, and their instructors were enrolled as participants. Each student group’s ratings of clinical skills and professional behaviors were compared to instructor ratings to measure accuracy, and each student group’s ratings were compared for reliability. Cohen’s kappa coefficient measured inter-rater agreement for all statistical analyses. Both groups of students were accurate raters (p < .05) of their peers on clinical skills, but only the senior-level students were accurate in rating professional behaviors. Both groups of students were reliable in rating their peers on about half of the clinical skills. The senior-level students were also reliable in evaluating professional behaviors, but the junior-level students were not. The data for this study showed high levels of observed agreement for most clinical skills, subscales and the professional behaviors, but some items had low Cohen’s kappa values, most likely due to a known paradox that occurs with the kappa statistic. As the first study in athletic training education to use undergraduate students, live data collection, and rating of professional behaviors, the findings were promising for future research. Future research needs to include training in peer assessment, use of repeated measures, and comparison of instructor scores in order to better understand peer assessment in this population. Additionally, there is a need to establish consistent, quality measures in peer assessment research, including those used in athletic training education.

Full textTiivistelmä Eksperttilaulajien saksan kielen ääntämistä havainnoitiin Robert Schumannin (1810–1856) vuonna 1840 säveltämässä laulusarjassa Frauenliebe und Leben, ja ääntämistä tutkittiin suhteessa sekä saksan kirjakielen ääntämisnormistoon että pedagogiseen ääntämisnormistoon. Tutkimuksessa syvennyttiin myös ääntämisnormistojen välisen suhteen tarkasteluun. Saksan kirjakielen ääntämisnormisto perustui Theodor Siebsin reine Hochlautung -ääntämistapaan sekä Siebsin klassisen laulun ohjeistuksiin. Pedagoginen ääntämisnormisto eli klassisille laulajille osoitetut saksan kielen ääntämisen oppaat oli rajattu yhteentoista teokseen. Tutkittavana oli yksitoista saksan kielen elementtiä: konsonantit s, r, b, d, g, suffiksi -ig, kirjainyhdistelmä ng, kaksoiskonsonantit, konsonanttien yhdistäminen, vokaalien sitominen ja diftongit. Laulusarjan levyttäneitä eksperttilaulajia oli kaksitoista: Anne Sofie von Otter, Barbara Bonney, Brigitte Fassbaender, Elly Ameling, Elisabeth Grümmer, Irmgard Seefried, Janet Baker, Jessye Norman, Kathleen Ferrier, Soile Isokoski, Marjana Lipovšek ja Tamara Takács. Äänitteet olivat vuosien 1950 ja 1997 väliseltä ajalta. Tutkimuksessa käytettiin perinteisiä kuvailevia tilastollisia analyysimenetelmiä ja hierarkkista ryhmittelyanalyysia. Aineiston luotettavuutta tarkasteltiin reliabiliteettianalyysin avulla. Reliabiliteettianalyysi osoitti, että aineistolle saavutettiin kohtuullinen luotettavuus. Kuvailevien tilastollisten analyysimenetelmien tuloksena oli havainto, että eksperttilaulajien ääntäminen äänitteissä oli huomattavasti monimuotoisempaa kuin saksan kirjakielen ja pedagoginen ääntämisnormisto antoivat olettaa. Hierarkkinen ryhmittelyanalyysi puolestaan osoitti, että eksperttilaulajien sijoittuminen samaan ryhmään oli maltillista. Tutkimus vahvistaa käsitystä, että laulupedagogista teoriaa tulee tarkastella dynaamisena, alati muuttuvana ilmiönä. Tutkimuksen perusteella myös havaitaan, että eksperttilaulajien ääntäminen noudattaa laulupedagogiikassa käytettyjä ääntämisen ohjeistuksia vain osin. Eksperttilaulajien ääntämisen käytäntö täten haastaa laulupedagogit pohtimaan sitä, kuinka he itse opettavat saksan kieltä, ja sitä, kuinka he liittävät opetustyöhönsä äänitteiden kriittisen kuuntelemisen taidon ja lauluoppaiden kriittisen käytön

Full textThe purpose of this thesis has been to examine the presence of trust-based controland management (tillitsbaserad styrning och ledning) and whether, and in that caseto what degree, the swedish trust reform (tillitsreformen) has affected the level oftrust-based control and management being practiced in the highest municipalmanagement groups. The theoretical assumption has been that a committedleadership (engagerat ledarskap) is essential to achieve success in qualityimprovement projects and that the actions of the most senior managementrepresentatives serve as an important role-model that can create trust, but just aswell disbelief, among those who are to carry out the work in practice. An onlinesurvey study has been directed to the most senior professional and politicallyappointed officials in all swedish municipalities. The question asked was to whichdegree those leaders rate each other’s practice of trust-based control andmanagement and how they view the practice of trust-based control and managementin the government’s and state authorities’ relations with the municipalities. Thequestion was also what change in that practice the trust reform has brought. Theresponse frequency has not been sufficient to make the findings generalizable on anational level. The results that have been achieved show that the municipalityleaders rate each other’s practice of trust-based control and management to a higherdegree than the government and state authorities’ dito. The results indicate that it isthe trust-based leadership of the professional municipal officials who overall havebenefited the most from the trust-reform, the professional municipality leaders arealso the most criticising of the state’s practice of trust-based control andmanagement. The state is also where the change in leadership practice based on thetrust reform is considered to have been the least prominent. The principle ofcitizen-focus (medborgarfokus) is the most prominent principle among thepolitically appointed leaders in the municipalities whereas the principle openness(öppenhet) is the primary principe among the professional leaders. The principles ofknowledge (kunskap), citizen-focus, and openness are the primary principles in thegovernment’s and state authorities’ practice of trust-based control and management.The principle of trust (tillit) is the principe with the lowest degree of practise both inthe relationship between professional and politically appointed officials withinmunicipalities and between the municipalities and the state but at the same timetrust is the principle that has seen the most positive change in it’s practice as a resultof the trust reform. The analysis has not been able to determine any correlationbetween the practice of trust-based control and management from the governmentand state authorities and the practice of the same among the municipal leaders.Instead the analytical conclusion is made that the committed leadership from thegovernment and the state in regards to the the trust reform so far has been regardedas relatively shallow by the municipal leaders and that could have had a negativeimpact on the implementation of trust-based control and management in themunicipal management groups as well.

Women are provided labor support during delivery, can improve outcomes for mothers and babies, increase women’s adaptive capacity, and have positive and satisfying birth experience. In order for nursing to remain as a viable profession, nurses,competence is highly important to promote positive outcomes for mothers and babies.The testing tools of labor support were developed based upon the model of social support in Taiwanese clinical practice, and do not reflect the full range of professional labor support , and lack of evaluation that competence connotation of providing labor support for nurses .In light of this, it is highly important to develop, and easy-to-use testing tool that measures mothers,perceptions of professional labor support provided by the registered nurse during labor.Therefore, the purpose of this study was to employ the Bowers''s PPLST to translate into chinese and to assess the reliability and validity of the chinese version Perceived Professional Labor Support Tool , and apply to Taiwanese women. This study used questionnaires, 240 subjects was selected by convenience sampling in the obstetrics and gynecology ward of a central medical center, testing the chinese version Perceived Professional Labor Support Tool. Applied the SPSS 17.0 statistical software package for data collection and analysis, and used content validity, factor analysis, concurrent validity, internal consistency reliability, and test-retest reliability to test the reliability and validity of the chinese version Perceived Professional Labor Support Tool. This study results display that Its CVI was .95, and factor analysis found five factors, “Nursing Competency”, “concern needs”, “Communication –to pass information”, “physical and psychological comfort”, and“convey caring”, to account for 64.27% of the total variance. Its Cronbach''s αwas.95, and test-retest reliability coefficient was.88 in the one-to-two weeks. The five factors, its Cronbach''s α ranged from .75~.93, and test-retest reliability coefficients ranged from .78 ~. 87. Overall, this study results suggest that the psychometric properties of the the Chinese Version Perceived Professional Labor Support Tool has a good reliability and validity, may be apply to assess the women''s perceptions of the professional labor support in Taiwanese. In the future, this study can help healthcare professional staffs to understand the status of labor support, as a basis of the in-service education of Labor Support for obstetric nurses, and to increase the quality of obstetric care.

Full textМельничок, Антон Михайлович. "Air traffic controllers activity in conditions of increased workload." Thesis, 2020. https://er.nau.edu.ua/handle/NAU/45651.
Full textEvery person who for the first time somehow finds himself in the hall where air traffic controllers work, has the impression of a very calm atmosphere. But it is deceptive. Outside this calm hides a huge internal tension. The tension of responsibility that each of the employees in the control room bears personally and cannot be transferred to someone else. And the point here is neither in clearly described procedures and rules, nor in the desire to prove that they can cope with the situation, but in the unusual nature of these people. Each of them throughout the nervous system feels that the dots that glow on the indicator are hundreds of human hearts, which they have no right to stop because of, sometimes, nonsensical errors. Therefore, no matter how difficult the situation, no matter how strong the tension, the most important task of the dispatcher is the obligation to remember, On average, about 3,000 people die each year in plane crashes worldwide. In comparison with these data we will give the same statistics of road accidents, and we will see that the indicator of victi is much bigger. This type of transport takes more than 30,000 lives, and only in Ukraine. That is, according to statistics, civil aviation is the safest mode of aero port. However, gradually the intensity of air traffic increases, the number of airlines and, accordingly, the transportation of both passengers and cargo. According to Eurocontrol statistics for the next 3 years in the European region is projected to increase air traffic by an average of 3.7% annually. Despite the introduction of the concept of flexible use of airspace, the activities of air traffic controllers are becoming more complex every year. They have to work in conditions of constant increased workload and stress. It is known that at relatively low levels of functional stress, performance is restored fairly quickly, and no harmful effects on the human body do not occur. However, in cases where the functional stress reaches levels at which the restoration of the spent functional potential during the work shift is impossible, conditions are created to reduce the efficiency of the employee. Usually short-term rest and change of activity promote restoration of the spent resources of an organism.

Full textObjectivo: Comparar e analisar as diferentes escalas de fadiga de compaixão (CF) existentes, e testar a fiabilidade e validade para descobrir uma ferramenta de avaliação mais adequada da CF para o pessoal médico chinês da linha de frente. Metodologia: Com uma amostra de 252 clínicos chineses (médicos e enfermeiros), este estudo comparou a validação das duas escalas CF mais utilizadas, a CF-Short Scale e a ProQOL Scale no contexto dos cuidados de saúde chineses. Análise exploratória dos factores, análise de correlação, e Cronbach's α were utilizado para examinar a fiabilidade e validade da versão chinesa da escala CF por enfermeiros clínicos e médicos da linha da frente. Por último, foi realizado o teste ANOVA unidireccional para examinar e comparar os resultados da CF do pessoal médico com características diferentes. Encontrar: A Escala Curta de Fadiga de Compaixão incluiu dois factores, explicando totalmente 64.273%of a variação total, e Cronbach's α da Escala Curta de C-CF = 0,918, Job Burnout (JB) = 0,892, e Secondary Trauma (ST) = 0,909. A Balança C-ProQOL também tinha uma boa consistência interna, com Cronbach's α de Compassion Satisfaction (CS) = 0,925, ST = 0,925, e Burnout(BO)= 0,705. No entanto, a validade de construção da Escala C-ProQOL foi insatisfatória com alguns itens problemáticos. A pontuação da CF entre o pessoal médico era de nível médio e diferia significativamente pelo número de horas trabalhadas, o número de turnos nocturnos, e outras características do pessoal médico. Conclusão: A C-CF Short Scale tem melhor aplicabilidade que pode ser usada como uma medição CF fiável para o pessoal médico chinês.

part 1 Background: Stroke is the second leading cause of death and a major cause of adult disability in Taiwan. This research established correlations between pre-admission and discharge data in stroke patients to promote education of the general public, prevention, treatment and high standards of chronic care. Methods: A total of 790 stroke patients at Chung Shan Medical University Hospital from 2007 to 2009 contained in the Taiwan Stroke Registry were included in this study. The patients were classified into two major categories: ischemic and hemorrhagic. Thirteen variables, including time series variables: (1) Gender (2) Age (3) Education (4) Mode of arrival (5) Time from symptom onset to ED arrival (6) Time from ED arrival to ED physician assessment (7) Time from ED arrival to neurologist assessment (8) Thrombolytic therapy (9) Discharge status from ED (10) Reason for leaving ED (11) Reason for transfer to another facility (12) In-hospital main caregiver (13) Length of stay, were explored. Results: Our results showed that age, education, hours from symptom onset to the emergency department (ED) arrival, and length of stay in hospital were significantly associated with stroke incidence. Conclusions: These findings show the present situation and medical quality of medical care for stroke patients in Taiwan. The factors association model may assist in developing a set of improvement plans for the coming year. part 2 Background: This paper described the validation of a critical thinking disposition assessment (CTDA) to assess medical care professionals’ or students’ level of critical thinking disposition and to assess the psychometric properties of this instrument. Methods: To undertake and determine the reliability and validity of the CTDA. Assessments of psychometric equivalencies and similarities in reliability and validity across the CTDA and CTDS were conducted. Using Pearson product-moment correlations to determine the concurrent validity between the scores of the CTDA and CTDS. Statistics were calculated using the SPSS (version 14.0), set at a significance level of 0.05. Conclusions: In light of these findings, CTDA was found to be a valid and reliable instrument to measure critical thinking disposition for medical care professionals and students.
