Helliwell, Jonathan, and Alan Fowler. "Introducing it into a Mature Production Related Work Environment: The Human Resource Factor." Journal of Information Technology 9, no. 1 (March 1994): 39–50. http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/026839629400900105.
Full textAbstract:
The paper addresses the human resource issues associated with the implementation of IT into the Production facilities of a company operating in the process industry. The primary focus of the research is a field study based on a questionnaire issued to the process workers who would be most affected by the changes. Management was initially concerned that resistance to change could pose a significant problem. In this respect there was particular concern that the age and background profile of the workforce could exacerbate any underlying tendency to change resistance. This paper evaluates the background to these concerns and illustrates how this particular organization dealt with them. The questionnaire results indicated a very low level of initial familiarity with any form of computer based technology. Nonetheless the results indicated a very positive response to the IT implementation proposals with virtually no evidence of attitudinal rigidity. In this sense, the results broadly support many of the observations revealed in the literature.

Full textAbstract:
The work-related satisfactions and stressors of experienced Olympic sport psychologists were examined. This study was designed to identify (a) specific intervention techniques used by the sport psychologist, (b) psychosocial concerns experienced by the sport psychologist, (c) concerns of the Olympic athlete, and (d) ethical issues related to communication with the media. Results revealed that these sport psychologists were satisfied both personally and professionally. In addition, the outcome category (winning/losing) reported as a primary concern by the athletes was addressed by the sport psychologists as an individual/personal issue, an interpersonal concern or a performance enhancement concern.

Full textAbstract:
e15583 Background: Individuals with gastric cancer (GC) are at risk for significant physical, psychological, and financial burden related to their illness and cost of care. This study characterizes cancer-related distress and concerns among survivors of GC and related cancers and the support survivors receive from their health care team for these concerns. Methods: Of 110 GC survivors enrolled in the Cancer Support Community’s online Cancer Experience Registry, 30 (43% stomach, 37% esophageal, 20% GIST) rated their level of concern (0 = not at all; 4 = very seriously) about psychological, emotional, physical and practical concerns (27 items). Risk for clinically significant distress was identified via a 4-item subscale (α = 0.86, cutoff score = 6.) Participants also completed the Impact of Events (IES) intrusion subscale and questions about their healthcare team’s involvement in addressing concerns. Results: Participant median age was 61 years; median time since diagnosis was 3 years. 23% experienced recurrence; 37% had metastatic disease.The highest ranked concerns (rated moderately to very seriously) included: eating and nutrition (62%); fatigue (62%); health insurance or money worries (59%); worry about the future (59%); feeling sad or depressed (50%); changes or disruptions to work, school, or home life (48%); sleep problems (48%); and worry about family (48%). Half of respondents (50%) were at risk for clinically significant emotional distress; 39% reported intrusive thoughts about the cost of cancer care. Fewer than half indicated their health care team asked about emotional distress (43%), lifestyle (43%), work (40%), finances (37%), or family (33%). Participants wished for more help with emotions related to cancer (57%), long-term side effects (55%), and financial advice/assistance (52%). Conclusions: Substantial proportions of gastric cancer survivors express concern about physical symptoms, emotional distress, and financial burden, yet many report they are not counseled about these concerns. Efforts are needed to reduce distress and the financial burden associated with gastric cancer to reduce their potential impact on quality of life, treatment adherence, and other illness outcomes.

Full textAbstract:
Opioid use disorder (OUD) and opioid overdose deaths (OODs) are prevalent among US workers, but work-related factors have not received adequate attention as either risk factors or opportunities for OOD prevention. Higher prevalence of OOD in those with heavy physical jobs, more precarious work, and limited health care benefits suggest work environment and organizational factors may predispose workers to the development of OUD. Organizational policies that reduce ergonomic risk factors, respond effectively to employee health and safety concerns, provide access to nonpharmacologic pain management, and encourage early substance use treatment are important opportunities to improve outcomes. Organizational barriers can limit disclosure of pain and help-seeking behavior, and opioid education is not effectively integrated with workplace safety training and health promotion programs. Policy development at the employer, government, and association levels could improve the workplace response to workers with OUD and reduce occupational risks that may be contributing factors.

Full textAbstract:
Success at university may be influenced by concerns with occupation and occupational performance. To understand occupations of concern and occupational performance among a sample ( N = 144) of university students in the Midwest United States, the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure was administered. Socially related ( n = 103), academic-related ( n = 75), and work-related ( n = 64) occupations were the three most frequently reported occupational concerns. Time management ( n = 79) was the most frequent person-level concern. Mean self-perceived competence in occupations was 29.83 ( SD = 7.18) out of 50 and mean performance satisfaction was 26.80 ( SD = 8.01) out of 50. There were no differences in occupational performance across gender, race/ethnicity, class standing, living environment, or work status. However, within participants, there was a significant and clinically relevant difference between performance satisfaction and self-perceived competence in occupation, t(143) = 7.052, p < .0005, d = 0.58. Students have varied occupations that they find important, and future research should explore how occupational performance and performance satisfaction influence university success.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to describe agriculture and natural resource (ANR) leader business owners’ initial concerns and feelings about the impacts of the 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Based on the theories of opinion leadership and bounded rationality, researchers analyzed survey findings to identify and describe ANR business owners’ 1) business and economic concerns associated with COVID-19, 2) communication concerns associated with COVID-19, and 3) any other concerns or impacts experienced due to COVID-19. Findings indicated that the majority of respondents were concerned about their bottom lines, employees missing work, and their abilities to provide employees a safe workplace. Additionally, respondents were concerned about the impact of COVID-19 on the U.S. economy. Regarding communication concerns, respondents were concerned about others sharing inaccurate COVID-19 information. When asked about additional concerns related to COVID-19, many respondents noted their concerns about economic impacts, personal and business finances, and canceled events causing them to become unable to interact with customers. Overall, the biggest concerns were related to economic impacts and misinformation. Recommendations for future research are to continue to assess this population as the pandemic continues, and again when the health crisis ends to understand the recovery process for ANR leader business owners.

Full textAbstract:
This research concerns the workplace design methodology, involving digital human models, that prevents work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs). We propose an approach that, in conjunction with one of the classic WMSD risk assessment methods, allows one to simplify simulations in a three-dimensional digital environment. Two real-life workstations from a manufacturing industry were modelled in a 3D Studio Max environment by means of an Anthropos ErgoMax system. A number of simulations show that, for the examined cases, classic boundary mannequins’ approaches can be replaced by using 50th percentile of a population individual, with a minimal impact on the WMSD risk. Although, the finding might not be suitable in all situations, it should be considered, especially where compromise solutions are being sought due to other criteria.

Full textAbstract:
Information privacy concerns are a dominant concern of the information age. Such concerns emanate from the tension between the correct use of personal information and information privacy. That tension has extended to the computer-mediated work environment as employees are becoming increasingly aware of the ways in which management can employ technologies to monitor their email and Internet interactions. Such information privacy concerns have the potential to negatively impact organisational productivity and employee morale. The aim of this paper is to outline some of the major issues relating to workplace surveillance and provide a balanced perspective that identifies the emerging issues and subsequent privacy concerns from the employee’s perspective as well as the rationale underlying managements’ decision to employ monitoring technologies in the workplace. In doing so, it attempts to progress academic understanding of this issue and enhance practitioners’ understanding of the factors that influence employees’ technology-related privacy concerns.

10050 Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has affected oncology practice in a variety of ways. We sought to evaluate the impact on pediatric oncology parent and young adult (YA) patient experiences, concerns, and perceived stress. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional Internet-based survey of parents and YA patients in the pediatric oncology and survivorship clinics at Stanford between June-December 2020. Patients were recruited in person by clinic staff or through the electronic patient health portal. Surveys (available in English and Spanish) included the NIH Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) and investigator-developed questions evaluating clinical practice changes, concerns about health and cancer care, and pandemic-related challenges. Bivariate analyses evaluated associations between demographic, clinical, and pandemic-related factors and (a) concern about the pandemic affecting health and cancer care, and (b) perceived stress. Results: Among 81 participants (66 parents, mean age 41.6 ± SD 9.6; 15 YAs, mean age 21.9 ± 8.4 years), 37% self-identified as Hispanic/Latino, 36% non-Hispanic white, and 21% Asian. Twenty-eight percent were on treatment and 47% had completed treatment (79% < 5 years prior). Thirty percent reported cancer-related appointment changes, largely rescheduling (75%) and/or switching to telehealth (42%). Nearly half (45%) of parents and 27% of YAs reported feeling ‘very’ or ‘extremely’ concerned about the pandemic affecting their child’s/their health or cancer care. Race/ethnicity emerged as the only demographic feature that was significantly associated with high concern (p = 0.018), with 57% of Hispanic/Latino and only 21% of non-Hispanic white respondents reporting high levels of concern. Specific concerns included fear of severe infection, immunosuppression, and whether infection would change treatment and compromise effectiveness. Parents and YAs reported ‘a lot’ or ‘a great deal’ of challenges in their personal/family life (61%) and work/professional life (48%). Among these were having less support from friends/family (35%), reduced wages/work hours (31%), and job loss (20%) with 20% reporting ≥ 3 challenges. On the PSS-10, stress in the past month was high for parents (mean 30 ± 4) and YAs (mean 31 ± 5.1) on a scale of 0-40. Risk factors for higher stress included: male gender (p = 0.028), less support from family/friends (p = 0.002), and experiencing ≥ 3 pandemic-related challenges (p = 0.013). Conclusions: Our findings confirm the prevalent worry and stress that pediatric oncology patients and families are experiencing during the COVID-19 pandemic. Better communication about cancer care service changes may help to alleviate some concerns. Supportive care resources may also help patients and families cope with psychosocial stressors, particularly among at-risk groups.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this study was to compare Swedish and Chinese nurses' experiences of ethical dilemmas and workplace distress in order to deepen understanding of the challenges neuroscience nurses encounter in different cultures. Qualitative interviews from two previously performed empirical studies in Sweden and China were the basis of this comparative study. Four common content areas were identified in both studies: ethical dilemmas, workplace distress, quality of nursing and managing distress. The themes formulated within each content area were compared and synthesized into novel constellations by means of aggregated concept analysis. Despite wide differences in the two health care systems, the nurse participants had similar experiences with regard to work stress and a demanding work situation. They were struggling with similar ethical dilemmas, which concerned seriously ill patients and the possibilities of providing good care. This indicates the importance of providing nurses with the tools to influence their own work situation and thereby reducing their work-related stress.

In this article, we examine Canadians’ concerns regarding the impact of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on domestic violence and family stress. Our empirical analysis relies on a unique survey conducted online, the Canadian Perspective Survey Series, which allows us to investigate the determinants of concerns regarding family stress and domestic violence during the first COVID-19 lockdown. We find no evidence that changes in work arrangements are related to concerns regarding family stress and violence in the home. In contrast, we find that the inability to meet financial obligations and concerns about maintaining social ties are significantly related to concerns about family stress and domestic violence.

Full textAbstract:
The transitions from student to adult roles for adolescents and young adults with severe developmental disabilities can produce concern and stress for their families. In order to understand and ultimately to be able to address these transition-related concerns and needs of families, we assessed family members' concerns associated with transition, identified the family members who shared the concerns, and measured the related levels of stressfulness and frequency of occurrence of the concerns. We collected data from 42 members of 19 families of young adults with severe developmental disabilities. Results were as follows. The most frequently mentioned concerns were those from the Young Adult domain, such as getting along with others, self-care capabilities, responsible behavior, and sexuality. The concerns rated most stressful, however, were from the Residential, Family Life, and Professionals and Agencies domains. These included the quality and availability of services, dealing with service providers, and family financial problems and disagreements. The concerns reported to occur most frequently were from the Young Adult, Residential, and School domains, including the young adult's self-care and social capabilities, the quality of residential services and interactions with residential providers, and school academic and work training and interactions with school staff. Concerns from the Residential domain were most predictive of overall individual and family stress. Our results indicated that responses from family members regarding stressful concerns are contingent upon how questions about stress are framed. We discuss these results in terms of Lazarus and Folkman's (1984) stress and coping theory.

Full textAbstract:
Jung's difficult relationship with Philosophy is well known and has, to some extent, carried over into later work in the field, which tends to view ideas of a philosophical provenance with some suspicion. Nowhere is this more apparent than with ‘archetype’ and the perceived problems with the Kantian noumenal with which it is felt to be inevitably connected. My concern is that such suspicion is rarely psychological, that is, it does not take into consideration enough the psychological aspects and roles of such putatively questionable philosophical ideas. This is another aspect of not really appreciating the psychological aspects of some philosophy due to the illusion of disparity created by what often amounts to a difference of vocabulary rather than of fundamental concerns. I will examine some of the central Kantian concepts that I believe are fundamentally psychological and essential if we are to retain concerns that distinguish Analytical Psychology from related disciplines. We may feel a scientific or philosophical embarrassment when faced with ideas such as ‘noumena’ but my feeling is that, psychologically, there is little to be embarrassed about: such ideas are extremely important in giving some substance to defining concepts of the field of Analytical Psychology.

Full textAbstract:
Since at least the late 1970s, we have had to grapple with the question of how economics influences politics. Before scholars made use of extensive survey research, most observers, noting the relationship between the state of the economy and election outcomes, argued that individual voters were driven by their own financial concerns. Using survey data, scholars found that individual economic concerns were not strongly related to vote choice. The work of Kinder and Kiewiet (1979, 1981) further upset this consensus by showing that voters were more concerned with the collective than their own concerns. The research presented here, making use of the rather unique 1992 ANES, argues that voters are concerned with both. The apparent non-existent relationship between egocentric economic evaluations and political evaluations is the result of question wording. When appropriately worded egocentric and sociotropic economic survey items are put in equations predicting political phenomena, both are important.

The circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic have taken a psychological toll on parents. Thus, understanding the impact of these contextual stressors on parents is important to help inform the development of family-based health promotion interventions. The present study examined parents’ perception of various sources of stress resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants (N = 294) completed an open-ended question about their primary source of stress during the pandemic, which we coded into one or more of the following categories: family, work, health, and finance. We used chi-square tests to determine whether gender, marital status, financial strain, and education level were significantly related to each of the four primary sources of stress. We found that female, married, and financially strained participants were more likely to report family-related stressors. Further, we found that participants who expressed concern over health-related stressors were more likely to have pre-existing health conditions. Finally, we found that single participants were more likely to express concerns over financial stressors. Our findings shed light on parental concerns following the pandemic and inform new research directions, clinical approaches, and policy issues at the individual, community, and societal levels.

Representing larger corporations in manufacturing, financial services, and retailing, 83 business personnel responded (21% return rate) to a survey addressing chronic illness and job accommodation. Employers reported that their companies had reviewed their job descriptions and developed written accommodation policies following passage of the ADA. Favorably disposed toward a variety of accommodations, respondents expressed concerns about the costs of accommodations and whether accommodations interfered with typical work schedules. Complimentary of employees with chronic illnesses, they voiced some concerns about productivity-related issues. Some evidence of a Catch 22 appeared in that employers were concerned about productivity of employees with chronic illnesses but wary of the cost of job accommodations.

Full textAbstract:
In this study, it was expected that personality change would be related to parents' concerns in various domains of midlife functioning. Personality was found to be moderately stable, but small but reliable change was also found. Fathers' change in personality was uniquely related to their life satisfaction, work stress and perceptions of the level of their adolescent children's internalising problems, but not to perceived partner support. By comparison, mothers' change in personality was only uniquely related to their life satisfaction. These results suggest that personality change in midlife is associated with the successful adaptation to midlife concerns. This pattern is consistent with social investment theories of personality development, though cross‐lagged longitudinal research is needed to substantiate this conclusion.

Full textAbstract:
Aim. The paper attempts to explore the impact ofrivate tutoring in light of the equity-related concerns especially in the context of the Indian society. Private tutoring is a phenomenon that has been an intrinsic part of the Indian education system since the 1980s.
Methods. The paper is an outcome of the Masters of Philosophy dissertation work of the scholar submitted to National University of Education Planning and Administration, Delhi, India.
Results. The structure of private tutoring is such that it mimics the regular school curriculum and modifies itself to match the needs of the school and the children. Any changes in the regular school curriculum bring a change in its supplement as well. It thus behaves like a shadow of the regular schools. Though private tutoring was believed to enhance learning opportunities of weak students, it has now become a 'parity of prestige' issue.
Conclusion. The expansion of tutoring has begun to deepen the inequalities already prevalent in the stratified schooling system and society at large.

Full textAbstract:
This article explores the issue of girls’ concerns about sexual activity in a liberal Nordic context. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork among young people in Denmark, the article identifies three types of concerns girls can have about sexual activity: social expectations, relational expectations and dignity. Whilst contemporary research has tended to focus on the influence different sexual morality discourses have in shaping different expectations and concerns about these, little attention seems to be paid to girls’ normative concerns about sex related to well-being. This article sheds light on how these normative concerns are related to girls’ sense of dignity based on Andrew Sayer’s work on dignity and moral sentiments. Finally, the article argues that tension between sexual morality discourses and moral sentiments may be the source of resistance that girls practise with a new ‘fuckboy’ discourse.

AbstractImplementation has always been a paramount concern of mathematics education, but only recently has the conceptualizing and theorizing work on implementation as a phenomenon begun in our field. In this survey paper, we conduct a hermeneutic review of mathematics education research identified as related to the implementation problematics. The first cycle of the review is based on examples of studies published in mathematics education journals during the last 40 years. It is organized according to five reasons for developing implementation research. The second cycle concerns 15 papers included in this special issue and is organized by four themes, as follows: objects of implementation, stakeholders in implementation, implementation vs. scaling up, and implementability of mathematics education research. The paper is concluded with a refined glossary of implementation-related terms and suggestions for future research.

In a time series study of suicide rates in Japan from 1978–1997, it was found that the social indicators which predict the suicide rates differ for suicides committed for interpersonal, work-related, and health concerns. While measures of domestic social integration predicted the suicide rate for interpersonal reasons, unemployment, and divorce rates predicted the suicide rate for work-related reasons.

Full textAbstract:
Adopted children’s arrival at adolescence is an object of interest and concern among researchers, professionals, and politicians. In this article, I offer an analysis of parental talk among 24 families about their concerns related to their transnationally adopted teens. The majority of the adoptive parents reported having concerns about their children, which they attributed to their children’s entry into adolescence and their children’s inherent personality traits. In this article, I focus on the first of these attributions, which places the “blame” on adolescence. I do this from a perspective integrating a theoretical view from social anthropology that analyzes social discourses and a more applied view from social work that explores how these discourses influence family practices. The results of this analysis can guide family and professional practices and public policies on adoption.

Abstract Prior work suggests that older adults are less aware of potential digital privacy risks compared to younger groups. We seek to expand on these findings by using drawmetrics with 20 older adults (60+) to visualize their experiences with digital privacy via drawing sessions. We further compared older adults with 20 adults of working age (18-59) with the goal of identifying both overlapping concerns and key differences that may be missed when viewing each group in isolation. We extended our evaluation with a survey with questions and themes derived from open-coding of the drawn images and confirmed three key differences between the age groups. These include older adults perceiving a greater threat from using online banking and e-commerce compared to working age adults, older adults exhibiting greater levels of concern about global scale threats, and working age adults showing more privacy-related concern regarding social media. Our findings can be used to potentially tailor applications to better accommodate privacy concerns for older adults.

"Work-Related Symptoms, Safety Concerns, and Health Service Utilization Among Korean and Chinese Nail Salon Workers in the Greater New York City Area." Asia Pacific Journal of Public Health 31, no. 3 (April 2019): 199–209. http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/1010539519840255.
Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to determine similarities and differences in health effects, safety concerns, and health service utilization among Korean and Chinese immigrant women working in nail salons in the Greater New York City area. In this cross-sectional study, analyses involved descriptive statistics, t tests, and χ2 tests. Koreans had longer work experience and more work-related health effects and concerns, but were less likely to use personal protective equipment than Chinese workers. Although Koreans reported better socioeconomic status than Chinese workers, they were less likely to have health care access and utilized less health services. To prevent prolonged exposure to toxic chemicals, nail salon employees need education regarding the importance of personal protective equipment use. Reducing structural barriers and increasing health care access for all nail salon workers are especially important in improving their health service utilization.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine whether the appearance of cyberloafing at work, that is, the use of the company’s internet connection for personal purposes, may be due to a workplace that lacks mindfulness and compassion. The authors first hypothesize that supervisors’ mindfulness is related to the mindfulness of their direct followers, and that both are related to employees’ compassion at work. The authors also hypothesize that compassion mediates the link between supervisors’ and followers’ mindfulness and cyberloafing, and that empathic concern mediates the link from compassion to cyberloafing. Design/methodology/approach A questionnaire was distributed to followers working in groups of three with the same leader in all of the 100 banks in London (UK). Supervisors and their direct reports (n=100) and 100 triads of followers (n=300) participated. The authors applied structural equation modeling (SEM) for analyses. Findings Results showed that supervisors’ and followers’ mindfulness were significantly related to each other and to compassion at work, but compassion acted as a mediator only in the case of supervisors’ mindfulness. Empathic concern mediated the compassion-cyberloafing link. Research limitations/implications The study could suffer from mono-method/source bias and specificities of banks and their work processes can raise concerns about the generalizability of the results. Practical implications Findings suggest that mindfulness training may facilitate compassion at work, which, in turn, will restrain the occurrence of cyberloafing at work. Originality/value This is the first study to analyze how and why employees refrain from harming their organizations out of compassion.

Background:During the COVID-19 pandemic, widespread changes in how we work have been observed. Working from home is not an option for everyone. At work it may be difficult to keep social distance, which may lead to fear and anxiety of being infected with SARS-CoV-19 or of spreading the virus.Objectives:To explore frequency of anxiety and concerns related to work in patients with inflammatory rheumatic diseases(IRD) during the COVID-19 pandemic and to identify patient and disease characteristics associated with increased anxiety.Methods:Patients in routine care followed in the nationwide Danish DANBIO registry were invited to answer an on-line questionnaire regarding current rheumatic disease activity, behavior and anxiety including current work-status and -concerns. Responses were linked to patient data previously recorded in DANBIO. Clinical factors associated with work-related concerns (completely/mostly agree versus neither/nor, completely/mostly disagree) were explored with multivariable logistic regression.Results:Among 14,758 respondents (38% of eligible patients), 5,950 patients (40%) were currently working (60% full time/31% part time/9% self-employed) (61% female, 53% rheumatoid arthritis/19% psoriatic arthritis/20% axial spondyloarthritis/9% other). Although 68% reported that the workplace helped to make necessary interventions, work-related concerns and anxiety were frequent. Thus, 22% found it difficult (completely/mostly agree) to keep physical distance at work and 20% were worried about going to work (Figure 1).Factors associated with concerns about going to work were female gender, longer education, other chronic conditions, biological therapy, and higher (=poorer) EQ-5D, whereas diagnosis was without significance. Similar patterns were found for other work-related concerns (not shown).Conclusion:In this cohort of >5,000 patients with inflammatory rheumatic diseases followed in a nationwide registry, during the COVID-19 pandemic anxiety and concerns related to the work situation were frequent, especially in women and patients treated with biologicals, with other chronic diseases and with poor quality of life.References:[1]Glintborg et al, 2021, https://rmdopen.bmj.com/content/rmdopen/7/1/e001505.full.pdfTable 1.Factors associated with being worried (agree versus disagree) to go to work (Figure 1, panel F).

COVID-19 has had negative health and economic impacts on the U.S. population and on marginalized groups in particular. While policy and review papers have noted the unique concerns of LGBTQ+ individuals during the pandemic, these statements have drawn largely from existing data on health and economic disparities, rather than data collected during COVID-19. Research on the unique concerns and experiences of LGBTQ+ people during this time is urgent and yet no culturally relevant, validated measures have been developed to empirically examine these concerns. The current study reports on the development and exploratory factor analysis of a new measure, the LGBTQ+ COVID-19 Concerns Scale (LGBTQ+-CCS). Data was collected online in April 2020 from a sample of 429 LGBTQ+ adults in the United States. The final 15-item scale demonstrated initial validity and reliability and contains four subscales: mental health concerns, financial concerns, health and discrimination concerns, and social isolation concerns. The LGBTQ+-CCS can be used in research and clinical work to measure how concerns related to the pandemic are related to mental and physical health and to examine differences between LGBTQ+ subpopulations and LGBTQ+ people over time. Future research should focus on further validating the measure through confirmatory factor analysis.

Full textAbstract:
There is growing concern in England about provision for very able children in state maintained schools. These concerns centre on the need for subject-specific criteria for the identification of very able children and the associated need for teachers to set work that is sufficiently challenging. These concerns are briefly reviewed together with research related to the mathematical characteristics of able children. A fourfold strategy for provision in mathematics classrooms is discussed. It is further suggested that case study evidence from ordinary classrooms is a potentially valuable source and basis for teacher-agreement on this strategy. Through the interpretation of pupil responses to challenging tasks it should be possible to develop a theoretical framework which enables teachers of mathematics to both recognise and promote the mathematical abilities of school children. An illustrative case study is provided.

This study evaluates the psychological impact (PI) of the COVID-19 pandemic in frontline workers in Spain. Participants were 546 workers (296 healthcare workers, 105 media professionals, 89 grocery workers, and 83 protective service workers). They all completed online questionnaires assessing PI, sadness, concerns related to the COVID-19 pandemic, and demographic and work-related variables. All groups but protective services workers showed higher PI levels than the general population. Healthcare and grocery workers were the most affected, with 73.6% and 65.2% of the participants, respectively, showing a severe PI. Women showed a higher PI level. Healthcare workers in the regions with higher COVID-19 incidences reported greater PI levels. The main concerns were being infected by COVID-19 or infecting others. Levels of concern correlated with higher PI levels. The protection equipment was generally reported as insufficient, which correlated with higher PI levels. Professionals reporting to overwork during the crisis (60% mass-media, 38% of healthcare and grocery and 21.7% of protective service) showed higher PI levels. In the healthcare group, taking care of patients with COVID-19 (77%) or of dying patients with COVID-19 (43.9%) was associated with higher PI levels. The perceived social recognition of their work was inversely related to PI. Most of the sample had not received psychological support. We suggest some organizational measures for frontline institutions, such as the periodical monitoring or inclusion of psychologists specialized in crisis-management to prevent negative symptoms and provide timely support.

Objectives: Beauty is a Lebanese stereotype, as Lebanese women often feel urged to decorate themselves. Recent studies have raised concerns about nail salon technicians’ (NSTs) health and safety issues. The aim of our study was to evaluate the occupational symptoms reported by NSTs, to assess their knowledge and document their awareness regarding hazardous chemicals found in nail cosmetics. Methods: NSTs completed a researcher-administered questionnaire. Data were gathered on sociodemographic characteristics, perceived knowledge, and safety issues. Work-related symptoms reported by NSTs were evaluated, and their responses were compared to those of the office employees. Results: A total of 120 NSTs and 120 office employees were interviewed. Compared to the control group, NSTs reported a higher prevalence of work-related respiratory, dermal, and irritative symptoms, all significantly associated with smoking and a poor ventilation system. In addition, musculoskeletal complaints were common among NSTs and significantly linked to a poor ventilation system, an increased number of customers per day, and a longer service duration. Furthermore, a longer career duration was significantly associated with an increased prevalence of irritative symptoms. When a binary logistic regression was carried out, it demonstrated a 25 times higher prevalence of work-related symptoms among NSTs compared to the office employees. Interestingly, 84% of the respondents had an inaccurate knowledge of nail cosmetics’ risks with their educational level acting as key factor. Conclusions: Based on these findings, it is warranted to perform a clinical assessment, implement a stringent regulatory framework, and improve knowledge toward nail cosmetics’ risk.

Full textAbstract:
Field education is recognised as a critical element in the preparation of social workers for competent practice. It is also acknowledged as a major pressure point in the provision of social work education in Aotearoa New Zealand. The pressures appear to be related to concerns about quality, consistent standards and the preparation of field educators who often lack the confidence or specialised knowledge and pedagogical skills required to facilitate student learning in the field. Attempts to address these concerns have generally focused on either local or national training programmes based on traditional learning theories. This article proposes that Cultural-Historical Activity Theory offers an alternative approach to the challenge of quality in field education and provides a basic description of the model. In particular, the analytical tools developed by Yrjö Engeström, which focus on the exploitation of tensions and contradictions in activity systems, are discussed as a useful strategy to bring about transformation. The article suggests that Cultural-Historical Activity Theory has been underutilised in social work research, but has the potential to open up rich veins of enquiry related to a range of concerns.

The dissatisfaction of truck drivers associated with issues related to the family is examined. This dissatisfaction is seen as a major reason for high turnover rates in the trucking industry. The nature of commercial vehicle driver work and family environments is more clearly defined through mail survey questions asked of both the driver and their spouse/partner. Specific questions in the survey address work concerns, family concerns, decision making, informational needs, communication, and leisure time. Methods to apply this information to programs of intervention and support useful to commercial vehicle companies are identified. Results indicated that family-related information would help support drivers and their families. In addition, a literature review discusses job characteristics of drivers, describes stressors for the families, and identifies possible coping skills and intervention methods.

Full textAbstract:
This study analyzed the differences between workaholism and work engagement in relation to their influence on work–life interference. Workaholism is an addiction to work, characterized by obsessive attitude towards job, whereas work engagement concerns a positive pattern of thoughts and feelings about one’s job; these two constructs thus represent pathological and healthy forms of heavy work investment, respectively. As a consequence, it was expected that workaholism and work engagement would have different effects on perceived interference between work and life domains. We assessed levels of workaholism, work engagement, work-to-life interference, and life-to-work interference in a sample of 212 Italian workers. Results from structural equation modeling showed an inverse symmetry involving patterns and magnitudes of the relations observed: work engagement was more negatively related to life-to-work interference than work-to-life interference, whereas workaholism was more positively related to work-to-life interference than life-to-work interference. Implications about findings of the study are discussed.

The Brazilian banking sector has undergone an intense restructuring process and taken a leading position in the incorporation of new technologies and organizational innovations. Computerization in the industry, in association with forms of work organization, has resulted in changes that reflect on the workers' health. Based on the theoretical and methodological frameworks of historical and dialectical materialism, this qualitative study investigates the work conditions of bank employees in order to identify the extent to which changes in work organization interfere with these workers' health. Data were collected through interviews held with 11 bank employees. In addition to physical sickening due to occupational diseases directly related to work intensification, the results also show an increased incidence of mental suffering and a feeling of loss of professional identity. Work-related frustration, instability and concerns related to psychological pressure resulting from the need to achieve goals predominated in the reports.

Given the growing number of young people presenting to therapy for gender-related concerns, and the growing social awareness of non-binary understandings of gender, it is incumbent upon therapists to improve their own understandings of gender, to gain familiarity with research on gender identity, and to learn to work with clients who present for gender-related concerns. One model of working with transgender, gender nonconforming, and gender questioning adolescents and children, is affirming solutions therapy. This article reviews previously suggested models of therapy for working with gender minorities and discusses the appropriateness of solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT) with affirmative therapy.

This study examined differences in career- and work-based learning services and work experiences of students who earned a high school diploma or a certificate of completion upon exiting high school. Case service data of 969 students with disabilities were analyzed. Results suggested groups differed in the number and types of career- and work-based services, work experiences, post-high school expectations, and work-related concerns expressed by parents. Differences between groups were observed by types of career and work experiences. Significantly greater proportions of diploma-earners expressed expectations to work and attend college. Parents of both groups expressed concerns about their youth losing Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits and about their youths’ safety and ability to work independently.

To reflect further on 20 years of the journal, we present a lexicographic and bibliometric study of all papers published in Public Understanding of Science (PUS). Lexicographical analysis of the vocabulary of 465 abstracts shows five classes of associated concepts in two periods, 1992–2001 and 2002–2010. The concern for public attitudes and mass media coverage remains on the card; while language has shifted from ‘public understanding’ to ‘public engagement’ and environmental concerns have waned then waxed. The bibliometric analysis traces the position of PUS in the inter-citation network of 165 related journals (ISI Web of Science citation database), grouped into 10 disciplines for the purpose of this analysis. Indicators derived from network logic show that the established position of PUS has been stable since 1997. PUS serves a varied brokerage role as gatekeeper into and liaison maker between disciplines. Its inter-citation network position allows PUS to perform inter-disciplinary boundary spanning work that offers a safe space for experimentation with ideas.

Full textAbstract:
Autistic adults report concerns with social skills and unemployment. Despite anxiety and difficulty with executive cognitive skills being associated with autism, no studies to date have investigated relationships between anxiety or executive cognition with social and work functioning. This study aimed to investigate the associations between perceived social anxiety, perceived and objective executive function, and perceived social and work functioning in a sample of autistic people. A total of 62 participants completed self-report questionnaires of social anxiety (via the Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale), mental health (via the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale), executive cognition (via the Behaviour Rating Inventory of Executive Function) and perceived social and work functioning (the Work and Social Adjustment Scale), and a smaller subset ( n = 36–40) completed performance-based executive function tasks (Trail Making Task and Rapid Visual Processing Task). Participants who reported having more social anxiety and more difficulty with executive cognition also perceived themselves as having poorer social and work functioning. Performance-based executive function was not related to social or work functioning. Our results suggest that perceived social anxiety and executive cognition are both areas that have potential to be targeted to investigate whether they improve social and vocational outcomes for autistic people. Lay abstract Many autistic adults have trouble in social situations and at work. Researchers do not know exactly why autistic people might find it difficult in these environments, and no studies to date have looked the way anxiety or other cognitive processes might affect autistic peoples’ ability to socialise and succeed in getting and keeping jobs. Anxiety (how much you worry) and difficulty with getting stuff done or switching attention (known as executive function) can be concerns for autistic people and may contribute to social and work difficulties. This study looked at the relationships between the way autistic people perceived their anxiety and executive functioning and their ability to socialise and work. Sixty-two autistic participants completed questionnaires related to their ability to socialise and work, their social anxiety and their executive function. We found that participants who thought that they had poorer ability to work also found themselves to have more difficulties with executive function and they were more socially anxious. Our results showed that how autistic participants perceived their social anxiety and executive function were important in their perception of their social skills and work ability.
