Abstract (sommario):

The work is devoted to semiotics and art as two sciences guided by symbolism and signs. Semiotics studies symbols, signs and myths, which can explain works of art to ordinary viewers as well as creative people. Thus, artists can be guided in the creation of works of art to accurately convey their ideas and convey the feelings and imagery of their thinking. The interdisciplinarity of these sciences provides an opportunity to better communicate, exchange ideas and research the sciences.
Робота присвячена семіотиці та мистецтву як двом наукам, що керуються символікою та знаками. Семіотика вивчає символи, знаки та міфи, що може пояснити мистецькі твори звичайним глядачам, а також творчим людям. Тим самим митці можуть керуватись при створенні художніх творів аби достатньо точно донести свій задум та передати почуття і образність свого мислення. Міждисциплінарність цих наук дає можливість краще комунікувати, обмінюватись думками та досліджувати науки.

Introduction -- Historiography of NGOs -- Historiography of globalisation -- World social forum, the who is who in the anti-globalisation/deglobalisation movement and alternatives -- Critical discourse analysis, discourse historical method and study's methodology -- Data analysis, findings and impact of NGOs' discourse on global civil society and TNCs -- Summary of findings, limitations and avenues for future research.
Non-Government-Organisations (NGOs) have been in the forefront of the struggle against the alleged negative impact of globalisation on developing countries and disenfranchised communities around the world. But despite the fact that NGOs and other grassroot movements are becoming increasingly strident, the discourse of this sector of civil society has not been subjected to any substantial and concerted academic study, particularly in the field of international communication. -- The present study aims at partially filling this gap by 1) reviewing the current general state of NGOs, 2) surveying the latest debates relative to the outreach of globalisation and 3) examining the alternatives being proposed. While drawing mainly on a select sample of NGOs and Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) press communiques, the core focus of this study is to deconstruct the NGOs' discourse with a view to gauging its linguistic and hermeneutical underpinnings and situating its relevance within the ongoing debate on globalisation and alternatives. -- This study also aims to examine the discourse of NGOs in the context of a multidiscourse environment relative to the present state of global community development in general and civil society and disenfranchised communities in developing countries in particular as part of the praxis of mainstreaming alternative views and discourses. -- For this, an interdisciplinary methodology of text analysis, juxtaposition and interpretation, based largely on the matrix outlined in Wodak's (Matouschek, Wodak & Januschek, 1996, p. 60), Historical Discourse Method (HDM), Van Dijk's (1998) Media Discourse Approach and Fairclough's (1995, 2001) Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) is used throughout this study. -- And in order to gauge the impact of NGOs' discourse on global civil society, sample articles are examined to decode the perspectives of pro-globalisation media vis-a-vis NGOs' discourse within the parameters of TNCs/Civil Society/NGOs relationships, international political economy and NGOs' taxonomy within International Regimes.

Abstract (sommario):

There is a lack of quality communication among health care professionals and patients in the hospital setting, which can negatively impact patient satisfaction and increase hospital readmission rates. Interdisciplinary bedside rounding (IBR) is a method of rounding that uses direct communication and discussion of the patient at the bedside, and the use of IRB may improve the quality communication among health care professionals and patients. The purpose of this program outcomes evaluation project was to evaluate whether IBR increased patient satisfaction with nursing communication and if IBR decreased hospital readmission rates. The Iowa model of evidence-based practice provided a framework that was used for this project. This program outcomes evaluation used a retrospective pre-post design to collect data 3 months prior to and 3 months following IBR on 1 medical surgical hospital unit. A convenience sample of 42 IBR patient participants was used. HCAHPS scores were used to evaluate patient satisfaction with nursing communication, with a percent of change comparison evaluated. Thirty day readmission rates were evaluated using a hospital based data set and a direct comparison of data was performed. Findings revealed that IBR did not improve patient satisfaction with nursing communication overall. In regards to hospital readmissions, 1% of the hospital readmissions were from the IRB group versus 10% hospital wide. Those who experienced IBR were less likely to return within 30 days. The use of the IBR program and resultant reduced readmission rates show promise for positive social change by improved patient outcomes and decreased health care costs for all.

Abstract (sommario):

In interdisciplinary and cross-functional groups and teams, members pool diverse perspectives for the purposes of new product design and innovation, but these different perspectives may cause interruptions in effective communication. This study examines the use of analogies and metaphors as effective communication tools in interdisciplinary group settings. Analogies and metaphors are an important aspect of our cognitive activities. Communication using analogies and metaphors plays an important role in constructing our knowledge structures. In this study, an instructional tool with group activities has been designed and tested to teach the effective use of analogies and metaphors in interdisciplinary and cross-functional group and team settings. The tool was designed using theories of pedagogy and includes activities for group members. The instructional tool was tested in interdisciplinary group settings. The results from a mixed methods analysis of data the collected are presented as contributions to the research in group communication and analogies and metaphors. The study also identified characteristics of effective analogies that may be used as potential communication tools in interactions between members from different disciplines and functions.

Testo completo

Abstract (sommario):

This thesis presents an examination of the relationship between psychological safety and relational coordination within interdisciplinary health care teams. Based on previous research, a model is proposed in which psychological safety—the perceived safety of interpersonal interaction—partially mediates the link between the relational dimensions—shared goals, shared knowledge, and mutual respect—and the communication dimensions—frequent, accurate, timely, and solution-oriented communication—of relational coordination. The proposed model was tested using multiple linear regression of survey data from 158 obstetricians, anesthesiologists, and nurses who work in the labor and delivery units at two large teaching hospitals. The findings do not support the proposed model; however, an alternative model in which psychological safety is an antecedent to rather than a consequence of relational quality is well supported. Building on these findings, the potential existence and nature of a new cluster of relationship-supporting communication dimensions is discussed.

This study also demonstrates the utility of role-level assessment of the psychological safety and relational coordination constructs. In most studies these constructs are assessed at the group level to facilitate comparisons between work groups. However, the role-based data collection and analysis applied in this study identified significant differences in the psychological safety, relational quality, and communication quality measurements with respect to various role-based subsets of the studied work groups. Additional differences were found when both the respondent's role and the role of the individual with whom the respondent was interacting were used as grouping variables. The revealed patterns of differences suggest that psychological safety and the dimensions of relational coordination are influenced by several role-oriented characteristics such as hierarchical status or control as well as a role's centrality or connectivity within an organization's social network.

The methods and findings presented in this thesis offer small steps toward the greater understanding of the dynamics of high-performance work groups. The practical application of this research includes the development of interventions designed to improve the communication, teamwork, and performance of groups in demanding environments such as hospital care units.

Abstract (sommario):

There is a growing need for healthcare teams within the Veterans Administration (VA) healthcare system to effectively collaborate and communicate to improve patient outcomes. The need to improve patient care in the Patient Aligned Care Team (PACT) has been well established. The scholarly literature does not provide evidence whether using the primary care PACT model on communication and teamwork by an interdisciplinary medical team ameliorates these communication breakdowns. Bronstein's design for interdisciplinary collaboration provided the overarching framework for this study. The purpose of this qualitative case study was to investigate the use of the PACT model on communication and teamwork by an interdisciplinary medical team as well as the perceived processes and results that the interdisciplinary collaborative approach has on production data. 18 participants consisted of licensed medical professionals and other licensed and non-licensed support personnel who were part of the PACT team. There were several challenges associated with the model, such as (a) a lack of clearly defined roles, (b) lack of communication and collaboration, and (c) division between the clerical and medical staff that created a hostile work environment. Other participants felt there were benefits associated with the PACT model, included (a) improved communication between team members, (b) increased collaboration among team members, and (c) enhanced care for patients using a comprehensive team approach. These findings may help leaders create policies, improve patient care, and create perceived processes to affect successful long-term programs for the future implementation of the PACT model.

Abstract (sommario):

Yes
Objectives: In this brief communication we discuss issues concerning scientific rigour in palaeopathological publications, particularly studies published in clinical or general science journals, that employ skeletal analysis to elucidate the lives and deaths of historical figures or interpret “mysterious” assemblages or burials. We highlight the relationship between poor methodological rigour and lack of interdisciplinary communication, and discuss how this can result in scientifically weak, sensational narratives being presented to the public. Conclusions: Although most high profile publications involving analysis of archaeological human remains are methodologically sound and well interpreted, others have suffered from poor scientific rigour stemming from an apparent lack of awareness of anthropological methods and ethics. When these publications are highlighted by the press, sensationalistic narratives are perpetuated which may reflect poorly on our discipline and give the public unrealistic expectations about our work. Suggestions for future research: We suggest that best practice in high-profile paleopathological research include recruitment of a range of authors and reviewers from clinical sciences, anthropology, and the humanities, consideration of the ethical issues surrounding retrospective diagnosis, and transparency with the press in regards to the limitations inherent in this kind of work.

Abstract (sommario):

É necessário compreender que o indivíduo, no processo saúde-doença, precisa receber atenção completa, que envolva várias disciplinas atuando de forma conjunta, numa visão que envolve integralidade de ações (Saupe et al., 2007; Salvador et al., 2011). Uma das principais características dos serviços de saúde hoje em dia no país é o atendimento feito por equipes multiprofissionais, cujo entrosamento, entendimento e troca de saberes entre seus membros levam à interdisciplinaridade (Salvador et al., 2011), tema central deste trabalho de pesquisa. Atendimento interdisciplinar envolve trabalho recíproco, criando relações sociais horizontais, contrariamente ao que ocorre no modelo de assistência tradicional, hegemônico. Exige que o saber do outro seja ouvido e pensado, inclusive dos indivíduos e das comunidades assistidos (Leite; Veloso, 2008). Este estudo, do tipo quali-quantitativo, tem por objetivo analisar as percepções que trabalhadores e usuários de três unidades de saúde, com estratégias distintas de atendimento, apresentam sobre interdisciplinaridade. Busca-se destacar dificuldades e possíveis meios facilitadores para sua prática diária na perspectiva de profissionais de saúde e usuários dessas três unidades de saúde. Foram aplicados questionários com perguntas fechadas semiestruturadas e abertas, cujos resultados foram submetidos à análise quantitativa, pela técnica descritiva de análise de frequência, e análise qualitativa pela técnica hermenêutica dialética, conforme preconizada por Minayo (2004). À luz dessa modalidade qualitativa de pesquisa aplicada aos profissionais surgiram três categorias: Meios para aumento da interdisciplinaridade; Fatores que afetam a interdisciplinaridade, subdivididos em Incentivadores, Desmotivadores e Ambíguos; e Resultados da interdisciplinaridade. Em relação aos usuários, as categorias emergentes foram: Desinteresse; Visão assistencial individualista e Vantagens da interdisciplinaridade. Os resultados encontrados foram: todas as categorias profissionais sentiram falta de outros profissionais em grupos educativos. A ausência mais sentida foi assistente social (18,75%). A estratégia interdisciplinar mais lembrada foi \"reuniões\" (38,6%). Falta noção de que é necessário trocar informações de forma efetiva, compreensível e satisfatória para todos. Mostrou-se importante aproveitar esses momentos para discutir protocolos e rotinas. Instrumento relevante para aumentar as trocas entre os profissionais foi a capacitação (13,6%) que melhora o relacionamento em equipe ao diminuir inseguranças. Trocas de informações em equipe multidisciplinar podem transformála em interdisciplinar. Pertencimento foi fato importante para a interdisciplinaridade, assim como dialogar, tolerar, respeitar, ouvir, ser flexível e enxergar o que está além de si, com interação social, horizontal. Número reduzido de profissionais, tomar conhecimento dos resultados das decisões em equipe e corresponsabilidade também foram fatores de destaque. Mais de 70% dos usuários relatou não participar de grupos educativos, evidenciando o curativismo. Os usuários valorizaram o atendimento por mais de um profissional. Acolhimento prescinde da ação interdisciplinar. Nenhum modo de atendimento foi sugerido pelos usuários. A interdisciplinaridade favorece a relação entre a equipe e o usuário, diminui espera e aumenta resolução. Na US Vila Helena, a interdisciplinaridade prescindiu de reuniões de equipe para acontecer.
It is necessary to understand that the individual in the health-disease process, must receive full attention, involving several subjects acting together, a vision that involves completeness of shares (Saupe et al., 2007; Salvador et al., 2011). One of the main characteristics of health services in the country today is the care delivered by multidisciplinary teams, whose rapport, understanding and exchange of knowledge among its members leading to interdisciplinarity (Salvador et al., 2011), a central theme of this research . Interdisciplinary care involves reciprocal work, creating horizontal social relations, contrary to what occurs in traditional hegemonic model of care. It requires knowledge of each other to be heard and thought, including of individuals and assisted communities (Leite and Veloso, 2008). This study of qualitative and quantitative, aims to analyze interdisciplinarity and what it represents in relation to the Unified Health System (SUS). The aim is to highlight difficulties and possible facilitators means for their daily practice from the perspective of health professionals and members of three health units with different strategies of care. Questionnaires were applied with semi-structured questions closed and open, the results of which were subjected to quantitative analysis by descriptive technique of frequency analysis and qualitative analysis by dialectic hermeneutics technique, as proposed by Minayo (2004). In light of this qualitative mode of applied research professionals emerged three categories: 1. \"Means for increased interdisciplinarity,\" 2. \"Factors affecting interdisciplinarity\", subdivided into \"people support\", \"demotivating\" and \"ambiguous\" and 3. \"Interdisciplinary results.\" Regarding users, emerging categories were: 1. \"Disinterest\", 2. \"Individualistic care vision\" and 3. \"Advantages of interdisciplinarity.\" The results were all professional categories have missed other professionals in educational groups. The most felt no social worker was (18.75%). The most remembered interdisciplinary strategy was \"meetings\" (38.6%). Lack notion that it is necessary to exchange information in an effective, comprehensive and satisfactory for everyone. It proved to be important to seize these moments to discuss protocols and routines. Important tool for increasing exchanges among professionals was the training (13.6%) which improves the relationship as a team to reduce insecurities. Exchanges of information in a multidisciplinary team can turn it into interdisciplinary. Membership was important fact for interdisciplinarity, as well as dialogue, tolerate, respect, listen, be flexible and see what is beyond itself with social interaction, horizontal. Reduced number of professionals, aware of the results of team decisions and responsibility were also prominent factors. Over 70% of users reported not participate in educational groups. Users value the service for more than a professional. Home dispenses interdisciplinary action. No answer mode was suggested by users. Interdisciplinary favors the relationship between the team and the user decreases expected and increases resolution. In US Vila Helena interdisciplinary dispensed team meetings to happen.

Abstract (sommario):

This doctoral thesis comprises three distinct yet related projects which investigate interdisciplinary practice across: music collaboration; mime performance; and corporate communication. Both the processes and underpinning research of these projects explore, expose and exploit areas where disparate and apparently conflicting fields of professional practice successfully and effectively; intersect, interact, and inform each other - rather than conflict - thereby enhancing each, both individually and collectively. Informed by three decades of professional practice across: music; stage performance; television; corporate communication; design; and tertiary education, the three projects have produced innovative, creative, and commercial viable outcomes, manifest in a variety of media including: music; written text; digital, audio/visual; and internet. In exploring new practice and creating new knowledge, these project outcomes clearly demonstrate the value and effectiveness of reconciling disparate fields of practice through the application of inter-disciplinary creativity and innovation to professional practice.

Abstract (sommario):

Estudo quase experimental, com grupo de intervenção avaliado antes e após o procedimento, com o objetivo de capacitar os profissionais da saúde para as situações de comunicação de más notícias aos pacientes e aos seus familiares, por meio de um curso de difusão gratuito, com duração de cinco horas. Participaram 79 profissionais da saúde, entre enfermeiros, estudantes de enfermagem, biólogos, farmacêuticos, estudantes de medicina, psicólogos, assistentes sociais e terapeutas ocupacionais. Foram utilizados como instrumentos de pesquisas: 1) o questionário Breaking Bad News sobre o protocolo SPIKES, que possui 13 questões objetivas. Este questionário foi analisado pela distribuição da porcentagem de respostas para cada questão; 2) o questionário de avaliação do curso de más notícias composto por 43 questões objetivas. Para a análise das variáveis quantitativas foram utilizadas as médias e as medianas para resumir as informações, e os desvios-padrão, mínimo e máximo, para indicar a variabilidade dos dados, além da porcentagem. A comparação entre as pontuações dos participantes na primeira e na segunda avaliação de habilidades de comunicação foi realizada pelo teste estatístico de McNemar. O teste estatístico não paramétrico Mann-Whitney foi utilizado para comparar a relação entre a idade dos participantes e as respostas do questionário de avaliação do curso de más notícias. A comparação entre a idade e a pontuação total dos participantes na avaliação de conteúdo do curso foi feita pelo coeficiente de correlação de Spearman. Para todos os testes assumiu-se o nível de significância em 5%. A idade dos participantes variou entre 18 e 55 anos, sendo a maioria do sexo feminino (83,5%) e da área da enfermagem (53,2% profissionais e 24,1% estudantes). Ademais, 57% dos participantes nunca tiveram qualquer formação sobre transmissão de más notícias, porém mesmo após este curso, oito pessoas continuaram afirmando que não tiveram formação alguma. A autoavaliação da capacidade de informar uma má notícia no pré-teste foi considerada boa por 18,2%; 20,8% consideraram-se ruins e 6,5%, péssimos, enquanto que o pós-teste 42,8% consideraram-se bons, 11,7%, ruins e 2,6%, péssimos. O conforto do profissional neste momento variou de 21,8% para 7,7% no item absolutamente desconfortável, e de 6,4% para 14,1% no item confortável. Após o conhecimento sobre o protocolo SPIKES, 92,3% acreditam em sua aplicabilidade na prática clínica.Quanto à estratégia utilizada pelos entrevistados em sua prática clínica, o item mostrou que \"um plano ou estratégia consistente\" apresentou frequências de 21,9% no pré-teste e 51,56% no pós-teste. Os elementos do protocolo SPIKES apontados como de maiores facilidades entre os participantes no pré-teste foi o local da notícia e a verificação da compreensão de tudo o que foi dito, 30,6% e 28,6%, ao passo que no pós-teste o item mais escolhido foi a escolha do ambiente (53,06%). A relação entre idade e conhecimento do protocolo SPIKES teve apenas um item que apresentou significância. Concluiu-se, portanto, que o treinamento de habilidades de comunicação de más notícias atingiu seus objetivos melhorando o conhecimento e a aptidão dos profissionais da saúde. Evidenciou-se também que a educação em comunicação na área da saúde mantém-se falha, bem como é escassa a difusão de protocolos que abarquem esta difícil tarefa destinada aos profissionais da saúde. O pós-teste mostrar-se-ia mais eficaz caso fosse aplicado após o retorno dos profissionais aos seus pacientes e o uso das técnicas apreendidas. Sugerimos a adoção de educação permanente aos atuantes na área da saúde
A quasi-experimental study with an intervention group evaluated before and after the procedure, in order to enable health professionals to communicate bad news to patients and their families through a free course of five hours duration. We evaluated 79 health professionals, including nurses, nursing students, biologists, pharmacists, medical students, psychologists, social workers and occupational therapists. The following research tools were used: 1) the Breaking Bad News questionnaire about the SPIKES protocol, which has 13 objective questions. This questionnaire was analyzed by the distribution of the percentage of answers for each question; 2) the evaluation questionnaire of the course of bad news composed by 43 objective questions. For the quantitative analysis we used the means and the medians to summarize the information, and the standard deviations, minimum and maximum to indicate the variability of the data, besides the percentage. The comparison between the scores of participants in the first and second evaluation of communication skills was performed by the McNemar statistical test. The Mann-Whitney non-parametric statistical test was used to compare the relationship between the age of the participants and the responses of the evaluation questionnaire of the course of bad news. The comparison between the age and the total score of the participants in the evaluation of course content was made by the Spearman correlation coefficient. For all tests, the level of significance was set at 5%. The participants\' ages ranged from 18 to 55 years old, with most females (83.5%) and nursing (53.2% professionals and 24.1% students). In addition, 57% of the participants never had any training on the transmission of bad news, but even after this course, eight people continued to claim that they had no training. The self-reported ability to report bad news in the pre-test was considered good by 18.2%; 20.8% were considered bad and 6.5% were poor, while the post-test 42.8% were considered good, 11.7%, bad and 2.6% Lousy. The comfort of the professional at the time ranged from 21.8% to 7.7% on the uncomfortable item and from 6.4% to 14.1% on the comfortable item. After knowing about the SPIKES protocol, 92.3% believe in its applicability in clinical practice. Regarding the strategy used by the interviewees in their clinical practice, the item showed that \"a consistent plan or strategy\" presented frequencies of 21.9% in the pre-test and 51.56% in the post-test. The elements of the SPIKES protocol identified as greatest facilities among participants in the pre-test were the news site and the verification of the understanding of all that was said 30.6% and 28.6%, while in the post-test the most chosen item was the choice of the environment (53.06%). The relationship between age and knowledge of the SPIKES protocol had only one item that presented significance. It was concluded, therefore, that communication education in the health area remains flawed, as well as the dissemination of protocols that cover this difficult task for health professionals. The post-test would be more effective if it were applied after the return of the professionals to their patients and the use of the seized techniques. We suggest the adoption of permanent education to those in the health area

Abstract (sommario):

In 1995, the World Summit for Social Development identified social integration as one of the three overriding objectives for social and economic development. This priority arose following a century that ended with the collapse of many states and the sharpening of strife around the world. Social integration was seen as a pathway to reinforcing common identities, supporting cooperation and lessening the likelihood of violence and conflict. For the past 20 years, governmental, academic and third sector organisations – with the United Nations at the forefront – sought to improve social integration. However their methods and interventions have commonly been restricted to policymaking and dialogue practices. Peacebuilding and reconciliation are affected by communication within and amongst different groups. Nonetheless, the potential for communication design to contribute towards social integration remains unexplored. This practice-led communication design research focuses on 18 to 30 year old youth in Lebanon – an extreme case of a politically, religiously, geographically, culturally and linguistically segregated post-conflict generation. The research adopts an innovative, interdisciplinary(1.) and collaborative(2.) approach, to explore the contribution of communication design methods towards social integration interventions. The interdisciplinary and collaborative case study process spans seven stages of practice: Discover, Delve, Define, Develop, Deliver, Determine Impact and Diverge. I developed this process with Darren Raven in 2010, and have been testing and refining it over the past five years through the socially-focused design projects of BA Design for Graphic Communication students and staff at the London College of Communication. This process builds on the Design Council’s Double Diamond design process by incorporating stages from the National Social Marketing Centre’s process. Through these stages, the research developed several innovative communication design methods: Explorations, a cultural probes toolkit exploring young people’s local context; Road Trip, an autoethnographic journey preparing the researcher; Connections, an effective method for recruiting stakeholders; Expressions Corner, a confidential diary room for understanding young people’s experiences, attitudes and behaviours; Imagination Studio, a collaborative workshop series for developing social integration interventions; Imagination Market, an efficient platform for piloting these interventions; and a Social Impact Framework; to evaluate the impact of the interventions and research. These methods enhanced candid input from young people, reduced ethical tensions, and improved their engagement with the research. The methods also involved youth and wider stakeholders in understanding and reframing the problem, invited them to generate and deliver solutions, strengthened their sense of ownership and therefore the sustainability of the research outputs, and finally, built their capabilities throughout the process. The social integration interventions developed and piloted through the case-study research ranged from a citizen journalism platform reducing media bias, to a youth-led internal tourism service encouraging geographic mobility. The evaluation of the 24-hour pilot interventions demonstrated a positive shift in young people’s willingness to integrate. The social impact and social value assessment suggests that effective social integration interventions – such as the ones developed and piloted in the case study research – have higher chances of delivering positive social and economic outcomes for the communities involved. This practice-led research presents a number of contributions, the most significant of which is a methodology, process and set of methods highly transferable across social integration challenges worldwide. The research also provides social integration theory and practice with a clear demonstration of the value and potential of communication design to advance interventions from replication to innovation. To communication design theory and practice, the research makes the case for the value of interdisciplinary and collaborative principles in enhancing rigour and social impact. Finally, to the Lebanese context, the research provides in-depth qualitative insights on social group dynamics, segments, and behaviours, which act as an evidence-base to underpin future local interventions. Beyond this thesis, the knowledge gained from this research will be disseminated to the various relevant communities of practice – including researchers, designers, policy makers, and community development workers – in the form of Creative Commons licensed design guidelines, as well as presentations, capacity building workshops, and academic publications. The dissemination of knowledge hopes to inspire and enable these communities to adopt, adapt and build on communication design methods when addressing social segregation challenges within their varying contexts. Notes in the text: (1.) Drawing on disciplines such as social, political, behavioural, and psychological sciences. (2.) Engaging multiple stakeholders including young people, civil society, institutions, topic experts and policy-makers.

Abstract (sommario):

This thesis answers the question of how, and what, people communicate to each other while playing games. The presented conclusions offer guidance to computer game developers on what means of communication they should support in games in order to provide better possibilities for interaction between people that play games together. The data for this study was collected from two sources: the first was during LinCon, an annual game convention in Linköping, and consists of four players playing a game of WarCraft: The Board Game; the second is from a game session of the multiplayer roleplaying game World of WarCraft. The sessions where documented using a combination of video recordings and participant observation in order to increase the quality and speed of the analysis. The video recordings were subsequently sorted into labelled passages and then organised into categories based on their similarity to each other with the purpose of finding categories and means of information exchange. The analysis identify five categories of information that people exchange between each other while playing games and three categories of how they convey that information. The implication of these categories on game design practice is also discussed.

The complexity of the health problems that are presented to family health teams requires more strongly the need for interdisciplinary actions, aiming at integral care. However, the formation of professionals that make up these teams, the overload work with which they live and the own organization of the work process does not always favor the achievement of these practices. This is the problem in which this study focuses. The objective of this study is to analyze the limits, and possibilities of interdisciplinary actions in professional practice of nurses, doctors and dentists in family health units. This is a cross-sectional study, exploratory, descriptive and inferential, developed from the qualitative and quantitative approaches. The sample consisted of Nurses, Physicians and Surgeon dentists of Family Health Teams in João Pessoa city. The questionnaire was constructed, validated and applied to all professionals by lot of the Family Health Teams. The qualitative part was made from participant observation during two months. The results of the questionnaires were submitted to Cluster Analysis. While the observation, thematic analysis was performed and the data were compared with quantitative results. The three professions had limitations on the interdisciplinary practice. The findings of this study show that the exercise of interdisciplinary professional practice depends on the objective order factors related to the labor process, and subjective factors inherent to the worker himself.
A complexidade dos problemas de saúde que se apresentam às equipes de saúde da família impõe mais fortemente a necessidade de ações interdisciplinares, visando ao cuidado integral. No entanto, a formação dos profissionais que compõem essas equipes, a sobrecarga de trabalho com a qual convivem e a própria organização do processo de trabalho nem sempre favorecem a realização dessas práticas. Esse é o problema sobre o qual o presente estudo se debruça. O objetivo deste estudo é analisar os limites e possibilidades de realização das ações interdisciplinares na prática profissional de enfermeiros, médicos e cirurgiões dentistas nas unidades de saúde da família. Trata-se de um estudo transversal, exploratório, descritivo e inferencial, desenvolvido a partir das abordagens qualitativa e quantitativa. A amostra foi composta por Enfermeiros, Médicos e Cirurgiões dentistas das Equipes de Saúde da Família do município de João Pessoa. O questionário foi construído, validado e aplicado mediante sorteio das Equipes de Saúde da Família. A parte qualitativa foi realizada a partir de Observação Participante, com duração de dois meses. Os resultados dos questionários foram submetidos à Análise de Agrupamento. Enquanto que para observação, foi realizada análise temática e os dados foram confrontados com os resultados quantitativos. As três profissões apresentaram limitações quanto à prática interdisciplinar. Os achados deste estudo evidenciam que o exercício da interdisciplinaridade na prática profissional depende de fatores de ordem objetiva, relacionados ao processo de trabalho, e de fatores subjetivos, inerentes ao próprio trabalhador.

Abstract (sommario):

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the efficacy of an interdisciplinary intervention on interdisciplinary teamwork and patient functional outcomes in an acute inpatient rehabilitation unit at a mid-sized regional hospital. Design: Pilot mixed-methods pre-post intervention study. Methods: Interdisciplinary teamwork and patient functional outcomes were measured before and after a teamwork intervention. Interdisciplinary teamwork was measured with the Healthcare Team Vitality Instrument (HTVI) and a qualitative staff questionnaire developed by a content expert. Patient functional outcomes were measured by aggregated Functional Independence Measure (FIM®) scores. Findings: Post-intervention FIM® gain scores increased significantly (p = .008). Staff questionnaire revealed improvement in interdisciplinary teamwork, with the major themes of teamwork and appreciation/respect. Post-intervention HTVI showed no significant change (p=.528). Conclusions: Initial results of this intervention are promising; additional research is needed to study the effectiveness of this intervention in a variety of acute rehabilitation settings. Clinical Relevance: Rehabilitation leaders can implement low-cost teamwork interventions to improve interdisciplinary teamwork and patient outcomes.

Abstract (sommario):

Little is known about the communication principles necessary for the design and implementation of health information technology (HIT) that supports the needs of healthcare providers from multiple professions. The purpose of this descriptive, exploratory research was to examine the patterns and methods of communication used by nurses, physicians, social workers, respiratory therapists, and pharmacists to share patient information during a patient handoff between units. The principles of complexity science were used as a theoretical framework and an original model of the healthcare organization consisting of embedded complex adaptive systems is presented.Five patient handoffs from the emergency department to participating inpatient units were included in the study. Providers responsible for the care of patients during the designated handoffs were identified through observation and snowball sampling and asked to complete a survey asking whom they communicated with and how. Social Network Analysis was used to map, analyze, and compare the communication patterns used by healthcare providers. Inferential statistics and thematic content analysis were used to examine provider characteristics and satisfaction with the quality of information available.The multi-professional collaborative patterns that emerged revealed the simultaneous use of both synchronous and asynchronous communication methods. HIT was shown to play a major role in the coordination process. Centrality and centralization measures identified that there is no one particular professional group dominating communication and hierarchy metrics indicate a unidirectional communication flow with tiers of dominant providers filtering information to providers on the lower tiers. These patterns suggest that the coordination of patient care during a handoff is a complex process that is the domain of more than one professional group.Satisfaction with the quality of available information was higher for providers working in the ED compared to the admitting units. Verbal communication was preferred by most participants despite difficulties identifying or contacting providers in other units. This study provides a foundation for future research that examines how communication principles that reflect the needs of multiple providers can be incorporated into healthcare provider workflow and HIT design.

ABSTRACT

The principal objective of this inductive study is to map the communication methods that are being used in the organization Sister Namibia. I intend to find communication mechanisms that together can constitute a communication framework. The main questions at issue are; How is the organization working from a communication perspective? What methods and channels are central for their external communication work? What messages are they trying to convey to the target group? The questions will generate in analyses and deeper understandings of communication processes in a NGO.

The conceptual approach for the study is Development Communication, which can be seen as the integration of strategic communication in development projects. Communication for Social Change is an approach of development communication, where focus lays on an elaborated social change agenda rather than the agenda of strategic communication. The study has a qualitative approach and it is built up as an inductive case study with the NGO Sister Namibia in focus.

Sister Namibia is a non governmental women organization that fights for women’s rights in the Namibian society. I have found several factors in their communication work that together can create a communication framework. Dialogue is vital in their communication work and it can be seen as a prerequisite for social change. Another central aspect of their communication framework is networking. Sister Namibia can be seen as a piece of puzzle in a bigger network that allows the organization to reach a wider audience and it is a strategy for how they can gain power, grow and establish deeper in the society. The diversity among women makes it necessary with a communication framework that provides flexibility, which includes different communication methods and channels depending on the target group. A holistic approach in the communication framework is important; the communication have to be focused on change at individual, societal and governmental levels. Furthermore, I have observed that to be able to understand processes of communication it is vital to look at the whole social context. In this social context knowledge, power, and material & social needs have been found as central aspects. They are needs and factors that are gained and created by individuals and groups in societies, and can be seen as prerequisites for social change to appear. Finally, this study shows the importance of looking at communication not just as a tool for spreading information, but also as the goal of development. Through communication it is possible to create a social environment where private and public dialogue can take place.

Keywords: Development communication, Communication for Social Change, NGO, Dialogue, Networking, Flexibility, Holistic approach.

Abstract (sommario):

A study of communication content, frequency and problems was performed at the Swedish Air Force Air Combat Simulation Centre, FLSC. The purpose was to investigate the connection between team communication and performance variables, to study communication problems during air combat and to employ and develop the PILOT method of communication problem analysis. Ten fighter pilots and four fighter controllers engaged in simulated air combat beyond visual range in teams on two sides, Blue and Red, with four pilots and one fighter controller each. Eight such training runs lasting 15 to 25 minutes were analyzed with regard to the Blue team’s communication during launch situations, i.e. one minute before launching a missile to either missile impact of failure, and problems during whole runs. The performance of the Blue team was rated by an experienced training instructor in six of the runs. It was hypothesized that positive outcomes would be associated with high communication frequencies but low communication problem rates. Results showed that high utterance frequencies were positively associated with positive global outcomes, i.e. wins, but not associated with high instructor ratings or launching hitting missiles. Incoherent results were found for communication problems. The results were discussed and further research suggested.

Abstract (sommario):

This thesis examines and measures differences in effciency between L1- and L2 language use for solving referential problems. Quantitative measures used in the study were time and error frequency. Qualitative measures, such as how the tasks and the participants own performance were experienced, were measured by an post interview and two questionaires.

Two different tasks, a sorting task and a construction task, in which each informant was given the role as a constructor or instructor, were used for data gathering. A total of 20 dyads, divided in two language groups (English and Swedish) participated in the study.

The results show large differences between the two language groups in respect to time for solving the two tasks. For the construction task, these were mainly due to different communication strategies used for error handling. In the sorting task a clear learning effect can be observed for the L2-groups which, in effect, makes the L2 users solve the sorting task almost as fast as the L1 groups, after an initial learning period. However, the informants in the L2 groups generally referred to the objects used in this task by describing peripheral characteristics of these objects. They also showed more signs of uncertainty and hesitation in the actual dialogue situation. However, no differences in error frequency could be found between the two language groups.

Differences in role-taking between the language groups were also made apparent in the study. These differences became especially clear for the L2 groups in the construction task.

Introduction: The development of voice research has shown common interests in some areas of knowledge. Singing teachers and speech therapists have approached their knowledges and a joint work can provide a growth for all professionals involved with the singing voice. Objective: to analyze the joint performance of singing teachers and speech therapists in working with singers. Method: intentional sample with five singing teachers and five recognized speech therapists working with the voice of singers. These answered five semi-directed questions that were audio-taped and transcribed. The material was analyzed and categorized. Results: according to the audiologists interviewed, it is up to them to understand the context of the singer; diagnose and carry out actions of prevention and rehabilitation of the voice; work with the physiology and vocal structure. The singing teachers said that the role of speech therapist is to work with health and voice alteration. The vocal orientation was pointed out by the two groups of professionals. According to the singing teachers, their role is to detect the vocal alteration and refer to the other specialist. For speech therapists, only the singing teacher should do the vocal classification and tuning. Expressiveness, musicality, technique, choice of repertoire, style and vocal aesthetics were items indicated by both professionals to explain the role of the singing teacher. The role of adjusting the vocal structure in order to meet the demand was a response considered as the role of speech therapists and singing teachers. The performance among professionals is understood and can happen: independently or complementary and associated or still, with interaction, communication and continuity in the work with singers. Some aspects were mentioned that intercept the relations between these specialists in the performance with related singers: to the vocal well-being; to the context lived by the singers; the roles of professionals; the terminology used; the relevance of the specialty in the singing voice and the counterpoint between science versus art. Conclusion: singing teachers and speech therapists establish different and unique working relationships with singers, characterized by contact, exchanges of knowledge, referrals, support, recognition, joint action and interdisciplinary action. Both vocal teachers and speech therapists say they need to work together because they understand that the other professional can develop the vocal aspect or adjust the vocal apparatus of the singers identified in their evaluation with more precision, more effectiveness or more specificity
Introdução: o desenvolvimento da pesquisa em voz cantada tem mostrado interesses comuns por parte de algumas áreas do conhecimento. Professores de canto e fonoaudiólogos têm aproximado seus saberes e um trabalho conjunto pode proporcionar um crescimento para todos os profissionais envolvidos com a voz cantada. Objetivo: analisar a atuação conjunta de professores de canto e fonoaudiólogos no trabalho com cantores. Método: amostra intencional com cinco professores de canto e cinco fonoaudiólogos reconhecidos no trabalho com a voz de cantores. Esses responderam a cinco perguntas semi-dirigidas que foram áudio-gravadas e transcritas. O material foi analisado e categorizado. Resultados: de acordo com os fonoaudiólogos entrevistados, cabe a eles entender o contexto do cantor; diagnosticar e realizar ações de prevenção e reabilitação da voz; trabalhar com a fisiologia e estrutura vocal. Os professores de canto falaram que o papel do fonoaudiólogo é trabalhar com a saúde e alteração vocal. A orientação vocal foi apontada pelos dois grupos de profissionais. Segundo os professores de canto, o papel dos mesmos é de detectar a alteração vocal e encaminhar ao outro especialista. Para os fonoaudiólogos, somente o professor de canto deve fazer a classificação vocal e afinação. A expressividade, musicalidade, técnica, escolha do repertório, o estilo e estética vocal foram itens indicados por ambos os profissionais para explicar o papel do professor de canto. O papel de ajustar a estrutura vocal a fim de atender a demanda foi uma resposta considerada como papel de fonoaudiólogos e professores de canto. A atuação entre os profissionais é entendida e pode acontecer: de forma independente ou complementar e associada ou ainda, com interação, comunicação e continuidade no trabalho com cantores. Foram citados alguns aspectos que interceptam as relações entre esses especialistas na atuação com cantores relacionados: ao bem-estar vocal; ao contexto vivido pelos cantores; aos papéis dos profissionais; a terminologia utilizada; a relevância da especialidade na voz cantada e o contraponto entre ciência versus arte. Conclusão: professores de canto e fonoaudiólogos estabelecem entre si diferentes e peculiares relações de atuação no trabalho com cantores, se caracterizando pelo contato, por trocas de conhecimento, encaminhamentos, apoio, reconhecimento, atuação conjunta e atuação interdisciplinar. Tanto professores de canto como fonoaudiólogos dizem indicar e necessitam de um trabalho conjunto porque entendem que o outro profissional poderá desenvolver o aspecto vocal ou fazer o ajuste do aparelho vocal dos cantores identificado em sua avaliação com mais precisão, mais efetividade ou mais especificidade

Abstract (sommario):

To improve patient safety a major change in health care reduced medical resident work hours to limit provider fatigue, in 2002 (Philibert, Friedmann, Williams, & Hours, 2002). This resulted in mid-level practitioners filling this provider void in health care teams, including critical care units (Buchanan, 1996; Christmas et al., 2005; Hoffman, Tasota, Scharfenberg, Zullo, & Donahoe, 2003; Hoffman, Tasota, Zullo, Scharfenberg, & Donahoe, 2005; Hooker & McCaig, 1996, 2001; Kaups, Parks, & Morris, 1998; Miller, Riehl, Napier, Barber, & Dabideen, 1998; Yeager, Shaw, Casavant, & Burns, 2006). In order to make appropriate clinical decisions for patients in critical care settings, mid-level practitioners are required to interpret data from multiple sources and to assimilate this information in a timely manner (Bernard, Corwin, & MacIntyre, 2000). Although these practitioners are actively involved in decision making individually and among interdisciplinary teams in critical care units, their decision making has not been described in the literature to date (Shortell et al., 1994). Therefore, the purpose of this qualitative study was to describe how critical care mid-level practitioners (N= 17) make decisions within an interdisciplinary team, undergirded by the cognitive continuum theory. A qualitative research design using focus groups guided by naturalistic inquiry enabled data collection. An interview guide, developed from the literature review and undergirded by the cognitive continuum theory, was used to structure discussion in the focus groups. Additionally, a demographic questionnaire and vignette were used to aid in description of findings. Data was managed by note based analysis and summarized on a Microsoft Excel document. Qualitative description was used to illustrate the findings. Prior to this study, there was a paucity of empirical literature describing the clinical decision making of critical care mid-level practitioners. The findings revealed a web of complexity in mid-level practitioner decision making on an interdisciplinary team. This included an overarching theme of quality of care, with central overlapping themes of judgment, resources, and negotiation interwoven with sub-themes of trust, communication, experience, and team structure. This study’s findings have direct implications for mid-level practitioner training courses, mid-level training, critical care orientation programs, theory development, and health policy.

Abstract (sommario):

The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM) provides updates of diagnostic criteria and it is crucial that clinicians from all relevant fields are aware of new terminology. Music therapists are increasingly being added to interdisciplinary teams and need to efficiently communicate with other professionals. This study aimed to discover if current music therapy students are familiar with the DSM-5 before they enter their professional practice. Music therapy students from two American Music Therapy Association-approved universities completed a survey aimed to assess their use and knowledge of the DSM-5. A total of 58 participants were included in the analysis. Findings from the survey revealed that seniors had a higher level of knowledge of the DSM-5 and referred to it in their courses more so than freshmen and sophomores. However, a high rate of students indicated that they did not discuss the DSM enough in their music therapy courses, non-music therapy courses, and clinical experiences. If more universities were sampled in future studies, educational programs could closely examine the preparedness of music therapy students with regards to DSM training and then make curriculum modifications as needed.

Abstract (sommario):

The aim of this study was to explore factors contributing to the success of health communication strategies and supporting visual communication tool(s) designed to explain antiretroviral medication (ART) adherence, and motivate young people who live with HIV to follow an adherence regime. The study drew from the social sciences, including psychology, health sciences and communication. Currently there are an estimated 6.8 million people living with HIV in South Africa, making it the site of the largest HIV epidemic in the world (UNAIDS, 2014). Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) is the only effective treatment for HIV and is one of the most demanding medicine regimes, requiring a 90% compliance. Various studies have documented worryingly poor levels of adherence to ART, especially amongst adolescents and young adults in South Africa. The empirical research consisted of a qualitative case study in Khayelitsha, a periurban township on the edge of Cape Town. It focused on young people from Khayelitsha and health care professionals - doctors, nurses, HIV counsellors and pharmacists. Using grounded theory data collection was carried out during two phases of fieldwork, interspersed with periods for data processing and analysis. The principal methods used were focus groups, semi-structured interviews and participant observation. Two key factors emerged from the data that form the basis of a new theoretical understanding: first, concerning how young people become motivated to learn about treatment and adhere to it, and second, concerning how information about treatment can best be communicated to them. In relation to the first of these, findings showed that young people were traumatised by an HIV diagnosis, fearing both that they would get sick and suffer an early death and also that they would be rejected by their belonging groups. This meant that they could not take in the factual information offered, and in addition, had no motivation to do so because the diagnosis resulted in a loss of hope for their present and future lives. According to young people, motivation was an outcome of re-connecting to one or more trusted significant other(s) from within their belonging group, who accepted and supported them. This in turn affirmed their prior belonging identities of son, daughter, cousin or close friend and then reconnected them to their present and future hopes. This renewed motivation to live was the basis for their becoming motivated to learn about treatment and adhere to it. In relation to the second factor, this study found that current communications about treatment were not effective. Specifically, the use of metaphors, which was seen among clinicians as a method of simplifying the complexity of ART adherence messages, was in fact creating confusion. Also, the use of printed information in isolation was not effective; communication was much more effective when it provided a space for discussion. These two key factors form the basis of a health communication strategy for young people who live with HIV and need to adhere to ART. Following on from these findings the study included the production of a film and animation that were identified as the visual communication media that would best support young people's understanding and motivation to adherence. The film presents a case study of a young person who overcame their initial diagnosis shock and, through the acceptance and support of his family, learned to live a normal life with HIV. Young people had said that they wanted to be able to view a film of this kind soon after their diagnosis. The animation, which was designed using a participatory process, used 'iso-type' as the central visual language. It was piloted, and this showed that the best use of a visual communication tool was in a setting that allowed young people to talk about prior losses to HIV within their families and community and about their confusion about treatment, and to ask questions about the meaning of complex biomedical concepts such as an undetectable viral load. All young people who visited the clinics, irrespective of test results, said that they wanted to learn about ART so that they could support friends and family members who lived with HIV, change perceptions about HIV among peers and better prepare in the case of becoming HIV positive themselves. Therefore it is recommended that communication strategies should target patients, their belonging groups and the wider community. This substantive theory contributes knowledge relevant to how ART adherence is communicated to young people. More broadly, this thesis argues that an interdisciplinary approach is required if communication practitioners are to properly understand the meaning that a population attributes to a health challenge; especially in the context of motivation and understanding. It is only when those meanings are fully identified through consolidated social science research that a communication strategy and supporting visual tools can be successfully designed.

Abstract (sommario):

Background: Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are a group of complex developmental disabilities which can cause behavior, social, and communication deficits. Anti-psychotic medications are often prescribed when symptoms such as aggression, irritability, hyperactivity, tantrums, and self-injurious behavior occur. Objective: To determine if anti-psychotic medications improve the behavior, social, and communication symptoms associated with ASD in children and adolescents. Search Strategy: Electronic literature searches were performed to find relevant studies and utilized the (1) Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, (2) Hispanic American Periodicals Index, (3) Medline, (4) PAIS International, (5) ProQuest Dissertations and Theses, (6) PsycInfo, (7) PubMed, (8) Springer LINK, (9) Taylor and Francis Journals, and (10) Sage Premier. Selection Criteria: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) or quasi-experimental design (QED) studies of any dose of an anti-psychotic medication compared to a placebo or other prescription drug, in participants with autism spectrum disorder. Data Collection and Analysis: All studies which met the full-text level criteria were reviewed by a third party to validate the decision of inclusion. Meta-analyses in this review implemented both random and fixed-effects models. Main Results: Ten RCTs were included. Six studies evaluated a drug versus a placebo and four studies investigated the effects of two separate anti-psychotic medications or the efficacy of an additive medication to a drug and placebo group. Author's Conclusions: Limited evidence suggests the effectiveness of anti-psychotic medications in treating the behavior, social, and associated with autism; however, further research is needed to determine the implications of long-term use.

Abstract (sommario):

Although collaboration between school psychologists and community-based mental health professionals is essential in the provision of comprehensive and effective mental health services for youth with intensive mental health needs, youth may not receive the full benefit of these coordinated efforts, as collaboration may not occur as often as it should. This study investigated the frequency of communication and collaboration between school- and community-based professionals, the purposes and methods of communication, and the benefits and barriers to collaboration. Survey data from 80 members of the Florida Association of School Psychologists were collected and analyzed. Forty-three percent of school psychologists reported communicating and collaborating with community-based mental health professionals between one and four times a year. Findings indicated that school psychologists prefer to communicate through phone calls, written reports, and face-to-face discussion; they also perceive these methods of communication to be most effective. Barriers to collaboration included limited accessibility of community professionals and lack of time to collaborate. A significant relationship was found in communication frequency and number of professional development hours received related to mental health. Implications of these findings are discussed in relation to developing strategies for practitioners and trainers of school psychologists aimed at optimizing the mental health of youth.

Abstract (sommario):

This study used an interdisciplinary approach to examine an intervention for reducing public speaking state anxiety. A quasi-experiment was conducted to determine if a multiple-exposure treatment technique (TRIPLESPEAK) would help to attenuate public speaking anxiety. The treatment group reported experiencing significantly less state anxiety during their post-test presentation than did the control group. This lead to the conclusion that exposure therapy can be used to help students enrolled in basic communication classes begin to overcome their fear of speaking in front of an audience. Follow-up analysis of the treatment group's reported anxiety levels during all five presentations (pre-test, Treatment Presentation 1, Treatment Presentation 2, Treatment Presentation 3, and post-test) revealed an increase in anxiety from the last treatment presentation to the post-test presentation. In order to explore this issue, Shannon's entropy was utilized to calculate the amount of information in each speaking environment. Anderson's functional ontology construction approach served as a model to explain the role of the environment in shaping speakers' current and future behaviors and reports of anxiety. The exploratory analysis revealed a functional relationship between information and anxiety. In addition, a qualitative study was conducted to determine which environmental stimuli speakers perceived contributed to their anxiety levels. Students reported experiencing anxiety based on four categories, which included speaker concerns, audience characteristics, contextual factors and assignment criteria. Students' reports of anxiety were dependent upon their previous speaking experiences, and students suggested differences existed between the traditional presentations and the treatment presentations. Pedagogical and theoretical implications are discussed.

Abstract (sommario):

Electronic Patient Records (EPRs) are becoming standard tools in healthcare, lauded for improving patient access and outcomes. However, the healthcare professionals who work with, around, and despite these technologies in their daily practices often regard EPRs as troublesome. In order to investigate how EPRs can prompt such opposing opinions, this project examines the EPR as a collection of communication genres set in complex contexts. In this project, I investigate an EPR as it was used on the Nephrology ward at a large, Canadian, urban, paediatric teaching hospital. In this setting, this study investigates EPR-use in relation to the following aspects of context: (a) the visual rhetoric of the EPR's user-interface design; (b) the varied social contexts in which the EPR was used, including a diversity of professional collaborators who had varying levels of professional experience; (c) the span of social actions involved in EPR use; and (d) the other genres used in coordination with the EPR.

This qualitative study was conducted in two simultaneous stages, over the course of 8 months. Stage one consisted of a visual rhetorical analysis of a set of genres (including the EPR) employed by participants during a specific work activity. Stage two involved an elaborated, qualitative case study consisting of non-participant observations and semi-structured interviews. Stage two used a constructivist grounded theory methodology. A combination of theoretical perspectives -- Visual Rhetoric, Rhetorical Genre Studies, Activity Theory, and Actor-Network Theory -- supported the analysis of study data. This research reveals that participants routinely transformed EPR-based information into paper documents when the EPR's visual designs did not support the professional goals and activities of the participants.

Results indicate that healthcare professionals work around EPR-based patient information when that genre's visual organization is incompatible with professional activities. This study suggests that visual rhetorical analysis, complemented with observation and interview data, can provide useful insights into a genre's social actions. This research also examines the effects of such EPR-to-paper genre transformations. Although at one level of analysis, the EPR-to-paper-genre transformation may be considered inefficient for participants and so should be automated, at another level of analysis, the same transformation activity can be seen as beneficially supporting the detailed reviewing of patient information by healthcare professionals.

To account for this function in the transformation dysfunction, my research suggests that many contextual factors need to be considered during data analysis in order to construct a sufficiently nuanced understanding of a genre's social actions. To accomplish such an analysis, I develop a five-step approach to data analysis called 'context mapping. ' Context mapping examines genres in relation to the varied social contexts in which they are used, the span of social actions in which they are involved, and a range of genres with which they are coordinated. To conduct this analysis, context mapping relies heavily on theories of "genre ecologies" (Spinuzzi, 2003a, 2003b; Spinuzzi, Hart-Davidson & Zachry, 2004; Spinuzzi & Zachry, 2000) and "Knotworking" (Engestrom, Engestrom & Vahaaho, 1999). Context mapping's first three steps compile study data into results that accommodate a wide range of contextual analysis considerations. These three steps involve the use of a composite scenario of observation data, genre ecologies and the description of a starting point for analysis. The final two steps of this approach analyse results using the theory of Knotworking and investigate some of the implications of the patterns of genre use on the ward.

Through context mapping analysis, this study demonstrates that EPR-based innovations created by a study participant could result in the generation of other improvisations, in a range of genres, by the original participant and/or by other collaborators. These genre modifications had ramifications across multiple social contexts and involved a wide range of genres and associated social actions. Context mapping analysis demonstrates how the effects of participant-made EPR-based variations can be considered as having both beneficial and detrimental effects in the research site depending on the social perspective adopted. Contributions from this work are directed towards the fields of Rhetorical Genre Studies, Activity Theory research, and Health Informatics research, as well as to the research site itself. This study demonstrates that context mapping can support text-in-context style research in complex settings as a means for evaluating the effects of genre uses.

Testo completo

Abstract (sommario):

It is a commonly held belief that the integration of user research data into the design process can bring great benefits
and there have been many studies that not only examine these benefits, but have also suggested how these researches may be carried out. However, effective integration relies as much on the way information gathered from user researches is delivered to the designer as the quality of the information gathered. Examples of how user research findings are communicated can be found in literature
but what is lacking is a structured approach to developing deliverables with a framing of discussions about effectiveness, considering the practitioner&rsquo
s needs and expectations. This study aims to investigate how user research findings should be communicated to the designers in order to maintain effectiveness in integration of the findings to the design process. A model and strategies and guidelines to achieve effective communication are proposed as the result. In order to propose them the methodology involves three main stages, including a literature search, an in-depth interview with the practicing designers and a verification questionnaire to confirm the findings of the previous two stages. The results of the study reveal expected outcomes of the user research activity by designers as the dimensions of effective communication of user research findings. Moreover qualities of the delivery mediums and informational content of the deliverables are identified from practitioners&rsquo
perspectives. The outcome of the study is a set of strategies and guidelines that the researches should consider, while designing new deliverables and planning communication activities for delivering user research findings to the design process.

Abstract (sommario):

In order to reach sustainability, a greater capacity to facilitate the implementation of the principles on which sustainability is founded is required. Effective methods of communicating sustainability will be necessary. Although there is a notable range of successful methods, opportunities to expand that range always remain and are worthy of exploration. This study pursues capacity building by testing a communication method variation that uses questions, audience participation, and metaphors intended to make the subject matter more easily understood and more permanently retained. An initial trial of the method was attempted with several groups of senior secondary students who were introduced to the ideas of sustainability during group and individual sessions. The students were surveyed before, during and after the sessions to measure their understanding and acceptance of sustainability concepts and principles. Of the students surveyed, all showed greater knowledge after instructional sessions using this technique. Results suggest that using a consciously dynamic and adaptive approach to choice of metaphors and questions can make the subject of sustainability easier to understand and remember.

The object of this study is the analysis of interdisciplinary practices between teachers from the Social Communication field in a private Higher Education institution in a seaside city in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. The research involved 20 teachers, 80% of whom work at the aforementioned institution under class/hour contracts and 65% also perform on the market, away from the academic environment. In this scenario, we have set as our general objective, to investigate what kinds of knowledge might help, and what kinds of difficulties might hinder interdisciplinarity between research subjects in the Social Communication field, assuming that this area would be interdisciplinary by definition. The current study entails bibliographical and document research, of exploratory aspect, under the theoretical framework of Fazenda, Veiga, Franco and Morin, in which synthesis, integration and theme correlation can be elements for understanding and categorizing the training process and interdisciplinary multidimension. On the history of teaching Social Communication in Brazil, this study is based on Melo, Barbosa and Moura, besides approaching aspects on the DCNs, which are currently under a process of change. Field work has been based on Qualitative Research, with data collection through open-question questionnaire, applied within the academic environment, relying on Content Analysis approach for the end of understanding subjects discourse, and following theoretical support of Minayo, Bardon, Chizzotti, Oliveira, Franco, Ghedin and Deslandes. Findings in this study have shown the need to discuss and to structure interdisciplinary practices organization-wise. Support from the Higher Education Institution coordinators is crucial when it comes to promote planning and implementation of interdisciplinary practices on the teaching routine and also to boost teachers interdisciplinary attitude. Collective interdisciplinary attitude, mediated and supported by the organizational structure within the Institution, paves the way to improve integration between fields of study and the sprayed knowledge throughout the course itself, and towards the ultimate goal of teaching, which is to produce students knowledge. In this research we have considered that the teaching work on the interdisciplinary sense within the Social Communication field can help not only to widen perspectives but also to build new processes and to the continuous professional development for teachers which, on the integration of knowledge, also enhance their abilities as learning facilitators. From the institutional standpoint, it can also be considered that interdisciplinarity might help the Institution to keep its quality of a natural and official locus of learning and research, in order to envisage its interest to train teachers and students to strengthen educational and social relations.
Este trabalho tem por objeto de estudo a prática interdisciplinar entre professores da área de Comunicação Social, de uma Instituição de Ensino Superior privada da região da Baixada Santista, estado de São Paulo, Brasil. O estudo envolve 20 professores: 80% deles trabalham na IES no regime horista e 65% também atuam fora da dela, no mesmo campo. Neste cenário estabeleceu-se, como objetivo geral, investigar quais conhecimentos colaboram e que dificuldades tensionam a interdisciplinaridade entre os sujeitos de pesquisa no ensino da Comunicação Social, pressupondo-se que esta seria uma área naturalmente interdisciplinar. Este estudo constitui-se de pesquisa bibliográfica/ documental de caráter exploratório, sobre pressupostos teóricos fundamentados nos autores Fazenda, Veiga, Franco e Morin, nos quais síntese, integração e correlação temática desvelam-se como elementos para a compreensão e categorização do processo formativo e multidimensional interdisciplinar. Sobre a trajetória do ensino de Comunicação Social no Brasil e sua natureza, este estudo apoia-se em Melo, Barbosa e Moura, além de verificar alguns aspectos presentes nas DCNs de Comunicação Social, atualmente em fase de transição. O trabalho de campo baseia-se em pesquisa qualitativa, com a coleta de dados via questionário aberto, realizada no próprio locus acadêmico. Fundamenta-se na Análise de Conteúdo para interpretação dos discursos dos sujeitos, de acordo com o aporte teórico de Minayo, Bardin, Chizzotti, Oliveira, Gomes, Franco, Ghedin e Deslandes. Os principais achados deste trabalho evidenciam a necessidade de se discutir e estruturar, organizacionalmente, a prática interdisciplinar. O apoio organizacional da IES é importante no sentido de estimular o planejamento e a incorporação de práticas interdisciplinares no fazer docente e alavancar a atitude interdisciplinar do professor. Essa atitude, coletivizada, mediada e apoiada pela estrutura organizacional da instituição, abre espaço para melhor integração entre as disciplinas e os saberes esparsos nos cursos, em direção à finalidade essencial do ensino - produzir o conhecimento no aluno. Considera-se, nesta pesquisa, que o trabalho docente com sentido interdisciplinar na área de Comunicação Social pode colaborar tanto para o alargamento dos horizontes disciplinares quanto para o processo de construção e aperfeiçoamento profissional contínuo dos professores que, na integração dos saberes, também amplificam sua capacidade de agentes mediadores da aprendizagem. Do ponto de vista institucional, considera-se também que a interdisciplinaridade pode colaborar com a IES no sentido de sua manutenção como locus natural e oficial de ensino e pesquisa, ao perspectivar o interesse formativo de professores e alunos em favor do aperfeiçoamento das relações educacionais e sociais.

Abstract (sommario):

Medical error and patient safety have become important issues. It is clear that medical error is more influenced by systemic factors rather than human characteristics. Communication patterns, in particular interruptive communication, maybe one of the systemic factors that contribute to the burden of medical error. Objective: An exploratory study to examine interruptive communication patterns of healthcare staff within an intensive care unit during ward rounds. Methods: The study was conducted in a tertiary hospital in Sydney, Australia. Nine participants were observed individually, for a total of 24 hours, using the Communication Observation Method (COM). The amount of time spent in conversation, the number of conversation initiating and number of turn-taking interruptions were recorded. Results: Participants averaged 75% [95% confidence interval 72.8-77.2] of their time in communication events during ward rounds. There were 345 conversation-initiating interruptions (C.I.I.) and 492 turn-taking interruptions (T.T.I.). C.I.I. accounted for 37% [95%CI 33.9-40.1] of total communication event time (5hr: 53min). T.T.I. accounted for 5.3% of total communication event time (56min). Conclusion: This is the first study to specifically examine turn-taking interruptions in a clinical setting. Staff in this intensive care unit spent the majority of their time in communication. Turn taking interruptions within conversations occurred at about the same frequency as conversation initiating interruptions, which have been the subject of earlier studies. These results suggest that the overall burden of interruptions in some settings may be significantly higher than previously suspected.

Includes bibliographical references (leaves 204-223).
This exploratory study applies a cultural studies and interdisciplinary approach to the discourses that emerge in the discursive gap at the interface of religion and public health, a gap most readily seen in the context of HIV/AIDS and in literature addressing sub-Saharan Africa. The combination of the different, often divergent discursive frameworks of religion and public health, and the idea of the linguistic construction of HIV/AIDS, prompts this theoretical response. The empirical data for developing these theoretical judgements are based on personal involvement in the African Religious Health Assets Programme (ARHAP), an international, multi-institutional research collaborative that is focused on the intersection between religion and public health.

Abstract (sommario):

In the face of the complexity and the urgency of the sustainability challenge, communication of sustainability to the public to motivate behaviour change is found to be an urgent concern. Communication based on appealing to the values of the audience is particularly powerful in addressing social and ecological concerns. Previous research has shown that there is a positive correlation between appealing to intrinsic values and motivation for sustainable behaviours, as opposed to activation of extrinsic values which might lead to the counter outcome. This research seeks to investigate how values-based communication for sustainability can be applied strategically within the third sector based on the activation of intrinsic values. The Framework for Strategic Sustainable Development (FSSD) was used as a conceptual frame to enhance the contextualization of the topic and analyse the findings. Ten interviews were conducted with experts and practitioners in the field, aiming to capture the current application of the concept, the enablers, and barriers for implementing it as well as potential key factors for a successful and strategic practice of values-based communication. Interview findings indicated that a strategic approach is lacking when values-based communication is applied. Based on these findings, a set of recommendations were developed with the intention of serving practitioners and experts in the field. The primary aim of this study is to contribute to the enhancement of the strategic application of values-based communication for sustainability.

Abstract (sommario):

Stakeholder demands on corporations to take environmental responsibilities are increasing and an environmentally responsible image could add values such as competitive advantage and a better reputation. To create a favorable image the corporation needs to develop a strong and sincere environmental identity that involves the whole organization. The identity is the way that the organization perceives itself and its self-expression and an environmental identity is one of the multiple identities that an organization can have. Communication is important both internally for establishing the identity and externally to create an environmentally responsible image. The organizational members need to be informed and involved in the responsibilities that the corporation is taken to be able to communicate them further to important external stakeholder groups. This thesis connects theories on corporate and organizational identities with organizational communication, culture and image to explain how the environmental identity and image is constructed. A case study has been conducted on a large Swedish company in the building and property management industry, Riksbyggen. The empirical material has mainly been gathered from interviews and also from participant observations. Nineteen employees and one consultant involved in the environmental communication process were interviewed individually or in focus group. The results showed that the case study organization had created a strong corporate environmental identity with clear visions and symbolic representations. However, the organizational environmental identity where the organizational members identify with the environmental activities was not yet developed fully. One reason behind this is the lack of dialogue opportunities in the organization, which means that the corporate identity is communicated from a top-down perspective. An environmentally responsible image was not established at organizational level either, even if some local initiatives had been successful.

Mestrado Profissional em Ensino na Saúde
A interdisciplinaridade é o diálogo entre diferentes disciplinas (duas ou mais). É de fundamental importância em algumas áreas de estudo, tais como a educação, e ocorre por meio de integração, diálogos e contrapontos entre disciplinas. Compreende proximidade, convergência, contato e interação, e em certos casos é uma exigência para realização de pesquisa e para construção do conhecimento. Objetivo Geral: desenvolver um programa interdisciplinar participativo que venha a contribuir para a conscientização dos estudantes do 1º ano do ensino médio quanto à redução do sobrepeso. Objetivos Específicos: descrever as dúvidas dos docentes sobre obesidade; analisar de que forma o trabalho interdisciplinar pode auxiliar os docentes na promoção e prevenção da obesidade entre os estudantes; discutir como a educação permanente pode auxiliar os docentes e demais profissionais do Instituto Federal Fluminense- IFF, Centro, na abordagem dos alunos sobre a prevenção da obesidade; e, elaborar um projeto de capacitação interdisciplinar, para contribuir na construção do programa. Metodologia: estudo de natureza qualitativa, do tipo descritivo e exploratório. Os participantes foram 11 (onze) professores atuantes há, pelo menos, 10 anos nesta Instituição, que desenvolvem atividades regulares na disciplina Educação Física, do Ensino Médio Integrado. Utilizou-se para a coleta de dados a entrevista semiestruturada. Os dados foram analisados com base na análise temática de conteúdo, por meio de categorias temáticas, e analisadas à luz do referencial teórico de Ivani Fazenda. Foi aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade Federal Fluminense sob o Nº 1.269.415. Resultados: obtiveram-se quatro categorias: a interdisciplinaridade segundo os docentes; obesidade e promoção da saúde na escola: um olhar crítico reflexivo; estratégias de EPS, tendo em vista a prevenção da obesidade; a interdisciplinaridade como fator de promoção e prevenção da obesidade. Conclusão: ficou evidenciado que não basta apenas educar o discente, mas, sim, fazer com que sua família faça parte deste processo. Por mais que a escola tenha o papel de educar sobre os hábitos alimentares, é em casa que se começa esse trabalho. Para tanto, urge a necessidade de se desenvolver educação coletiva. Neste sentido foi apresentada uma proposta de construção de um programa interdisciplinar participativo, com o objetivo de prevenir a obesidade e promover a saúde no IFF, contando com a presença dos pais, discentes, docentes e servidores
It is of fundamental importance in some areas of study such as education and it takes place by means of integration, dialogue and counterpoints among the subjects. It comprehends proximity, convergence, contact and interaction, and in certain cases, a third millennium requirement for research realization and knowledge construction. General objective: to develop a participatory interdisciplinary program which might contribute to the adolescents’ awareness from the first year of high school in relation to overweight reduction; Specific objectives: to describe the students’ doubts in relation to obesity; to analyze in which way the interdisciplinary work could help the teachers in the promotion and prevention of obesity; to discuss how permanent education might help the educators and IFF-Center staff members in the pupils’ approach to obesity prevention; to elaborate an interdisciplinary capacity project in order to contribute to the program construction. Methodology: the study is of qualitative nature, descriptive and exploratory type. The participants were 11 (eleven) teachers that have been working for at least ten years in this institution. They have been performing regular activities in Physical Education in the integrated high school. The semi structured interview was used in collecting data. These pieces of information were studied on the grounds of analysis of thematic contents through thematic categories and analyzed in the light of Ivani Fazenda’s theoric referencial. It was approved by the Ethic Committee of Research in the Fluminese Federal University Medical School under the number of 1.269.415. Results: four categories were obtained: the interdisciplinarity according to the educators and staff members; obesity and health promotion in school; a reflexive and critical look; EPS (permanent education in health) strategies aiming at obesity prevention. Conclusion: it has been shown that only to educate the adolescent is not sufficient but it is necessary to include his/her family in the process. Although the school role is to teach and guide about eating habits it is at home where the work begins. Consequently, the need of a construction and collective education system is urgent. Having this is mind a construction proposal of a participative interdisciplinary program has been presented. Its objective is to prevent obesity and to promote health in school relying on the presence of parents, students, teachers and staff members

Os conceitos marcadores foram identificados a partir de observação dirigida das aulas presenciais dos cursos. A webliografia, oferecida em 2007 e 2008, foi identificada em buscas sistemáticas feitas no site Google®. Os recursos on-line foram desenvolvidos com softwares livres, para construção de blog, grupo de e-mails e palavras-cruzadas, oferecidos igualmente em 2007 e 2008, porém neste último ano associados a um trabalho intenso de tutoria pró-ativa. O impacto na aprendizagem foi avaliado qualitativamente, por meio de grupo focal e procedimento prático para avaliação de habilidades (OSCE). Quantitativamente, a utilização das novas tecnologias de informação e comunicação (NTICs), pelos alunos, foi medida por meio de contadores próprios dos softwares de blog e grupo de e-mails, e o desempenho em provas regulares e as respostas a questionários aplicados antes e depois dos Módulos 1 e 2 de cada edição dos cursos, avaliaram variações de: ganho de conhecimento, nível de interação dos alunos, comportamentos profissionais e pessoais. Resultados: Foram identificados e selecionados 10 conceitos marcadores interdisciplinares e construída uma webliografia básica com 34 links e outros recursos interativos. O interesse e utilização das NTICs aumentaram ao longo do curso, sendo que a tutoria pró-ativa e a proximidade das provas aumentaram a média de visitas ao blog,do número de alunos participantes no grupo de e-mails e do número de mensagens enviadas. Houve ganho de conhecimento discreto ao longo das aulas, com menor impacto entre médicos. Foi observada melhora do conforto para a prática profissional de ações de rastreamento, aconselhamento e quimioprofilaxia, sobretudo entre os alunos do curso de especialização. A motivação para mudanças de comportamentos pessoais, relacionados a alimentação e a prática de atividade física, também aumentou.De modo geral, a avaliação quali-quantitativa mostrou impacto das aulas e recursos didáticos nos 4 domínios do aprender propostas por Delors (aprender a conhecer, conviver, fazer e ser), contudo, não foi possível confirmar que esses resultados se associaram decisivamente ao uso das NTICs. Conclusão: A identificação dos conceitos marcadores e do material de leitura sobre promoção da saúde e prevenção de doenças disponível on-line permitiu selecionar literatura interdisciplinar relevante, cientificamente qualificada, e torná-la acessível aos profissionais de saúde. Embora a utilização do blog e grupo de e- mails tenha aumentado durante o estudo, a inclusão progressiva das NTICs no ensino da promoção da saúde não alterou significativamente o ganho de conhecimento e de habilidades, e tampouco desencadeou mudanças efetivas nos comportamentos profissionais ou pessoais dos alunos. Por outro lado, a presença da tutoria pró-ativa somada aos recursos didáticos voltados à interação aluno/aluno e aluno/professor mostraram diferenças significativas na forma de aprender a conviver dos alunos
Introduction: Using of on-line tools in face-to-face (F2F) courses shall be consider a potencial facilitator of continuing education, due to its interactive capability, asynchronous nature, and lack of geographic limits. Objectives: a) identify marker concepts to clinical practice of health promotion, b) develop on-line teaching materials, and c) evaluate use and impact of those tools on the learning (at a blended experience basis) on health promotion. Methods: Teaching materials on-line (blogs, e-mails list, crosswords) were developed with free softwares. At 2008, the researcher performed the role of tutor. This study was a qualitative-quantitative survey, envolved support documents of F2F experience and 211 learners of extension course of FMUSP about practice of health promotion. The qualitative data included documental analysis, focus group and OSCE Objective Structured Clinical Examination. The quantitative measures were taken by test on the conclusion of the module, and also a questionnaire about personal and professional behaviors, besides acess and familiarity with computer. Results: a) choice of 10 interprofessional markers concepts, b) webliography (34 links) and interactive tools, c) the interest in use of new technology rises during classes. The presence of tutor has contributed to increase number of blogs visits and number of learners who participated of e-mails list. The involvement in both tools was amplified before the tests. A modest gain of knowledge occurred, with minor effect between physicians. The confidence for practices of screening, couseling and preventive medicine were improved, especially among specialization learners. The motivation for change personal behaviors, related of nutrition and physical activity, increases too. Qualitative analysis put on highlights the four ways to learn proposed by Jaques Delors (learn to learn, learn to do, learn to live together, and learn to be). However, few results were associated with technology use. Conclusion: identification of markers concepts has been made. A webliography about health promotion has been allowed to health professionals as select relevant interprofessional scientific literature. The progressive inclusion of new technology neither have changed the gain of knowledge, nor have modified personal or professional behaviours. Nevertheless, the tutor presence with interactive teaching materials on-line demonstrated differences in ways of learn to learn and learn to live together

Abstract (sommario):

In this master thesis, I have studied conflicts that have arisen because of a development project, in a wetland in the Lake Victoria region in Kenya. The aim of the project is to improve the standards of living for the local community by increased food production and employment, but it has developed into a conflict because of, among other things, competition over natural resources. The objective of this study is to analyse these conflicts and identify the causes behind them. A further aim is to analyse if the communication has been sufficient in Yala Swamp, from the stakeholders’ point of view, through out the implementation of the project. The stakeholders that were identified in the conflict are the local community that have been affected by the project, the county councils where the project is located, and the company Dominion, which is the exploiter. Conflict theory is the analytical tool used to identify causes to the conflict. Primary data was collected through qualitative research interviews and secondary data are various reports. The result of the conflict analysis shows that there is a conflict between the local community on one side, and Dominion and the county councils on the other side. The conflict is caused by incompatible goals. The goals that are incompatible, which depend on contested resources, have to the largest extent to do with land access and to some extent with employment. The reason for contested resources has its origin in that the local community feel they have been deprived the land they used to farm on and have not gained what they were promised. They also live in absolute poverty and therefore whish to have more land than they have now. Conflicts over land leads to environmental degradation when people are squeezed into limited areas and put more pressure on land. This issue needs immediate attention to not lead to violent conflicts and further environmental degradation. Foremost the local community is dissatisfied with how the communication between the stakeholders worked before the implementation of the development project and after. A committee was going to be set, but today it does not seem to work adequately from the community members’ point of view. A committee would, however, probably improve the communication and resolve some conflicts. This would reduce the conflict potential and lead to a more sustainable development for all stakeholders.

Abstract (sommario):

The building information model (BIM) is assumed to encompass all the required parameters, rules and attributes about a design product and process for Architecture-Engineering-Construction (AEC) practitioners in a way that is comprehendible by all participants sharing the model and that communicates their needs and intentions. The socio-cognitive day-to-day interactions that occur in the workplace imply however that there are discrepancies between what is exchanged as design information when sharing a model and what is exchanged as goals, needs and possibly conflicting intentions and interests when sharing a common ill-structured problem. The findings of an ethnographic study are presented. The study investigates affordances and limitations in BIM-enabled practice regarding the communication of design intent among design teams in the context of an architectural project. Grounded theory coding was used as a basis for analytic induction through constant comparison and examination of data from field observation, interviews and design meetings, to identify emergent conceptual categories central to the research inquiry. A "thick description" was provided that took into account the dynamic interactions among teams, including interdisciplinary, intradisciplinary and non-disciplinary interaction. By dissecting hypothetical models of shared project information offered by BIM, the dissertation identified interfaces of information exchange, states of the BIM model as a boundary object, and emergent and overlapping communities of practice that delineate the degree of completeness and correctness of a BIM model and describe its effectiveness in capturing and conveying the intent of participants upon interaction. To draw parallels to other contexts, the assumptions central to the study were discussed in relation to a spectrum of possible scenarios within the larger population of AEC firms. In light of the findings and "persona" descriptions identified in the study, the dissertation examined and proposed amendments and richer descriptions to existing surveys and market reports that address the use and benefits of BIM in the AEC industry, including topics such as the internal business value of BIM, top ways to improve value of BIM, and impact of project factors on BIM value.
