Abstract

This paper aims to explore how social work students can support lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning (LGBTQ+) young people in schools. Drawing on the reflective practice portfolio documents of four students who worked with LGBTQ+ young people in a school as part of a social workers in school (SWIS) student placement project, the article uses thematic analysis to identify how the students were able to support young people identifying as LGBTQ+. The article subscribes to a poststructuralist theoretical framework which sees gender and sexual identities as multiple, fragmented and constructed in relation to others and within the systems of knowledge and power that exist in schools. The article demonstrates the benefit to schools of having social work students on practice placement. The students' own reflections critically contemplate the way in which they were able to spend more prolonged periods of time with young people than the teachers could, both with individuals and LGBTQ+ groups. The students' reflective portfolios show the value of the school placements to their own development of knowledge and skills [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

26. 'Why Did You 'Really' Do It?' A Mixed-Method Analysis of the Factors Underpinning Motivations to Register as a Body Donor

Author

Cornwall, Jon, Poppelwell, Zoe, and McManus, Ruth

Abstract

Individuals who register as body donors do so for various reasons, with aiding medical science a common motivation. Despite awareness of several key reasons for donation, there are few in-depth explorations of these motivations to contextualize persons' reasons for donating. This study undertakes a mixed-method exploration of motivations for body donation to facilitate deeper understanding of the reasons underpinning donor registration. A survey of all newly registered body donors at a New Zealand university was performed over a single year. The survey included basic demographic information, a categorical question on reason for donation, a free-text question on donation motivation, and a free-text question allowing "other" comments on body donation. Basic statistical analysis was performed on demographic and categorical data, and thematic analysis used on free-text responses. From 169 registrants, 126 people (average age 70.5 years; 72 female) returned completed surveys (response rate 75%). Categorical data indicate a primary motivation of aiding medical science (86%). Fifty-one respondents (40%) provided free-text data on motivation, with other comments related to motivation provided by forty-one (33%). Common themes included reference to usefulness, uniqueness (pathophysiology and anatomy), gift-giving, kinship, and impermanence of the physical body. Consistent with previous studies, the primary reason for body donation was aiding medical science, however underpinning this was a complex layer of themes and sub-themes shaping motivations for choices. Findings provide important information that can guide development of robust informed consent processes, aid appropriate thanksgiving service delivery, and further contextualize the importance of medical professionals in body donation culture.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate whether modifiable risk factors for type 2 diabetes (T2D) can be reduced by an intensive healthy lifestyle intervention designed for Arab Muslim women of Middle Eastern descent (AWMD) who are at high risk for this disease. We hypothesized that among Canadian AWMD, the intervention would (a) reduce the identified health risk factors for T2D (body mass index [BMI], ≥30 kg·m−2; fasting blood glucose [FBG], ≥5.6 mmol·L−1; and waist circumference [WC], ≥80 cm); (b) improve anthropometric measurements; (c) improve lifestyle factors (physical activity level [steps per day] and dietary habits); and (d) improve cardiovascular fitness and reduce blood pressure. Methods: After informed consent, 60 participants were randomized to either an exercise and nutrition group (ENG; n = 30) or a control group (CON; n = 30). ENG attended a women-only supervised exercise program that presented Arabic music and traditional Lebanese Dabka three times a week in a Mosque gym for 12 wk. A nutritionist was available 1 h·wk−1 for nutrition education. The CON followed their typical day. Results: ENG and CON had similar increased risk profiles for diabetes at baseline. Large significant pre/posttreatment interaction effects were found for BMI, FBG, and WC with a reduced diabetes risk for ENG compared with CON for BMI (1,58) = 1184.8, P < 0.001), FBG (1,58) = 187.7, P < 0.001), and WC (1,58) = 326.4, P < 0.001). The ENG had significantly more participants reach postintervention target values (BMI: χ 2(1) = 16.48, P = 0.001; FBG: χ 2(1) = 52.26, P < 0.001; WC: χ 2(1) = 4.29, P = 0.038) compared with the CON. Adherence to the program was 100%. Conclusions: Modifiable risk factors for T2D were reduced by using a culturally sensitive intervention program with high adherence through weight loss, regular exercise, and nutrition education.
