10. Cultural Pluralism Climate Survey Study.

Author

Olympic Coll., Bremerton, WA., Langan, A. Bud, and Keeler, Laura

Abstract

A campus climate study was conducted at Olympic College (OC), in Washington, to measure student, staff, and faculty perceptions of acceptance, support, and understanding of diverse groups on campus. Specifically, the student and staff survey instruments requested participants' level of agreement or disagreement with respect to 22 statements about the campus social and learning environment; sensitivity to ethnic, age, gender and physical differences; OC's role in encouraging diversity; accessibility; awareness of cultural differences; and student organizations and support services. Surveys were mailed to a sample of 1,755 main campus students and all 18 campus administrators, 93 full-time faculty, and 118 classified staff. Usable surveys were received from 1,138 students, 12 administrators, 28 faculty, and 54 classified staff, for a total of 1,232 responses. Responses were analyzed to determine heterogeneity or independence, significant differences in variance between groups, and differences among means. In general, students and staff were positive with respect to the acceptance of diversity at OC, although some areas for improvement were identified, including OC's role in helping people from diverse backgrounds work together, helping students understand what is unacceptable about mistreating people because of their differences, and providing curriculum and programs to address cultural diversity. The survey items, including tables of student and staff responses, a description of findings, and a brief recommendation for each, comprise the bulk of the report. (KP)

11. Student Outcomes Study. Olympic College Program Review.

Author

Olympic Coll., Bremerton, WA., Langan, A. Bud, and Keeler, Laura

Abstract

A follow-up study was conducted of students who had attended Olympic College (OC), in Washington, in fall 1990. A questionnaire was sent to a stratified random sample of 647 students, 3 years after their 1990 enrollment. A total of 390 responses were received for a 60.3% response rate. Respondents were divided into the following four groups, based on their enrollment intent at entry: General Academic; Transfer; Vocational Preparation; or Vocational Supplemental/Job Upgrade. The study sought to determine the accuracy of the students' reported intent; outcomes 3 years after attending; student satisfaction with OC courses or programs; and related demographics. Study findings included the following: (1) there was a lack of congruence between intent upon entry to OC and stated intent on the subsequent survey; (2) 26.1% of the General Academic students reported an annual salary of $30,000 or above, as compared with 35.2% of the Job Upgrade students, 18.1% of the Transfer group, and 10% of the Vocational Preparation students; (3) 43.2% of the male respondents reported annual earnings of $30,000 or more, as compared to 7.8% of the female respondents; (4) 70% of the respondents reported that their salaries had not increased as a result of having attended OC; (5) respondent satisfaction with academic courses ranged from 2.08 to 3.338 on a 4-point scale; and (6) respondent perceptions that their disciplines met their stated goals ranged from 2.14 to 3.51 on a 4-point scale. Twenty-nine data tables and the survey instrument are included. (PAA)

Abstract

Firms, courts and thought leaders have acknowledged that it's better to stem burnout than to deal with full-blown crises, especially as so many lawyers cope with stress by engaging in self-destructive behaviors. Lawyer Assistance Programs State and local lawyer assistance programs (LAPs) throughout the country provide confidential services and support to judges, lawyers and law students who are facing mental health or substance use issues. Overview of the Secured-Leave Rule The North Carolina court rule defines a "secure-leave period" as one complete calendar week designated by an attorney during which the superior and district courts may not hold a proceeding in any case in which that attorney is the attorney of record.

Abstract

Objective: To conduct a systematic review synthesizing the evidence for the effectiveness of the Wheelchair Skills Training Program (WSTP). Data Sources: We searched PubMed, the Cochrane Library, CINAHL and Embase databases, as well as grey literature, up to 10 October 2017. Study Selection: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) assessing the effectiveness of the WSTP. Data Extraction: Two independent reviewers screened articles and extracted data. Methodological quality was assessed using Cochrane's Risk of Bias Tool. Data Synthesis: Meta-analyses (including sub-group analyses) were conducted for the Wheelchair Skills Test (WST) and WST Questionnaire (WST-Q) total capacity scores. We qualitatively assessed retention, WST/WST-Q subtotal and individual-skill capacity scores and other identified outcomes. The quality of evidence was determined using the Grades of Recommendation, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) approach. Thirteen articles (581 participants) were included for analysis. The level of evidence was of moderate quality. The WSTP increased the post-training WST/WST-Q total capacity scores by 14.0% (95% CI: 7.4, 20.8; p <.0001) compared to no treatment, standard care or educational controls, a relative increase over baseline of 21.2%. Subgroup analyses showed that training was more effective for new wheelchair users. Retention of training effects was suggested by the absence of significant declines between tests post-training and at follow-up. The WSTP was found to have positive effects on some other outcomes. No serious adverse events were reported. Conclusions: There is moderate quality evidence that the WSTP is a safe intervention that has a clinically meaningful effect on WST/WST-Q capacity scores and some other outcomes. A systematic review and meta-analysis of 13 randomized controlled trials on a total of 581 participants, using the Wheelchair Skills Training Program (WSTP) as the intervention, found that the WSTP increased Wheelchair Skills Test (WST) and WST Questionnaire (WST-Q) total capacity scores by 21.2% relative to baseline. Subgroup analyses showed that training was more effective for new wheelchair users. The WSTP was found to have positive effects on some other outcomes and no serious adverse events were reported. The WSTP warrants cautious implementation in clinical and educational settings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

People with HIV are living longer. However, co-morbidities are often more prevalent and severe than in the general population and have greater impacts on health status. Although compelling evidence exists about the health benefits of exercise in the HIV literature, many people living with HIV tend to be physically inactive. The purpose of this study was to use the Theoretical Domains Framework to investigate the barriers and facilitators to participation in exercise of older people living with HIV. This qualitative study involved in-depth, semi-structured interviews with 12 adults aged 45 years and older recruited from HIV organizations and health centres. Data were analyzed thematically using the Theoretical Domains Framework, and two investigators independently coded transcripts. Six prominent domains were identified from the interviews: Social influences, environmental context and resources, reinforcement, intentions, social and professional role, and knowledge. Themes emerging from the interviews fit into all 14 domains of the Theoretical Domains Framework, and 67% of themes fit into the six most prominent domains. The participants had a working knowledge of exercise and its health benefits but were unfamiliar with specific exercise parameters. The majority identified environmental or resource constraints as salient barriers for participation in exercise programmes. Co-morbidities, injuries, and the side effects of HIV disease and medication were also acknowledged as barriers. Stigma and discrimination from friends, family, people within the LGBTQ community, and health care providers were commonly discussed. Participants spoke of the importance of social support to facilitate participation in exercise programmes. Other facilitators included using technology and incorporating exercise into day-to-day activities. People aging with HIV experience many barriers to exercise. Those designing exercise interventions for people aging with HIV should incorporate strategies to address these obstacles. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

33. Newman and the Principle of Development

Author

Keeler, Laura Mary R.S.C.J.

Abstract

Christianity and Catholicity are, in the history of pre-Reformation England, as they are in their own nature, convertible terms. When England emerged from paganism into Gospel light, it was Catholicity which the young and vigorous stock embraced, and under whose guidance she throve for many centuries.After well-nigh a thousand years had passed, a change came over the land; worldly might fettered ministers and ministrations of the Mother Church; despotism, spoliation, torture, and iniquitous penal laws accomplished their work, and left at the beginning of the nineteenth century, only a remnant of the nation faithful to the fair religion which had saved them from paganism and had been the time-honored faith of their fathers for twelve hundred years.
