Research into science identity, stereotype threat, and possible selves suggests a lack of diverse representations scientists could impede traditionally underserved students from persisting succeeding in science. We evaluated series metacognitive homework assignments ("Scientist Spotlights") that featured counterstereotypical examples an introductory biology class at community college. Scientist Spotlights additionally served as tools for content coverage, were selected to match topics...

Archetypal patterns endure because they give expression to perennial dilemmas submerged in the collective unconscious. Having examined more than 300 novels by both major and minor women writers over three centuries, Annis Pratt perceives women's fiction distinctive elements of plot, characterization, image, tone. She argues that should be read as a mutually illuminative or interrelated field texts reflecting feminine archetypes are signals repressed tradition conflict with patriarchal...

Design participants Clinicians patients from selected wards 2 hospitals western Sydney. Main outcome measures Evidence new insights into as articulated during video-reflexive feedback meetings. Results Frontline clinicians identified previously unrecognised risks team's practices. They also...

Patient safety research has to date offered few opportunities for patients and families be actively involved in the process. This article describes our collaboration with two separate studies, involving end-of-life care infection control acute care. We used collaborative methodology of video-reflexive ethnography, which been primarily clinicians, involve as active participants collaborators research. The purpose this is share experiences findings that iterative researcher reflexivity field...

This paper explores patients' perspectives on infection prevention and control.Healthcare-associated infections are the most frequent adverse event experienced by patients. Reduction strategies have predominantly addressed front-line clinicians' practices; roles been less explored.Video-reflexive ethnography.Fieldwork undertaken at a large metropolitan hospital in Australia involved 300 hours of ethnographic observations, including 11 video footage. focuses eight occasions, where footage was...

Background Hospital-acquired infections are the most common adverse event for inpatients worldwide. Efforts to prevent microbial cross-contamination currently focus on hand hygiene and use of personal protective equipment (PPE), with variable success. Better understanding is needed infection prevention control (IPC) in routine clinical practice. Methods We report an interventionist video-reflexive ethnography study that explored how healthcare workers performed IPC three wards two hospitals...

Contemporary research on gender and persistence in undergraduate education science engineering has routinely focused why students leave their majors rather than asking stay. This study compared three common ways of measuring persistence-commitment to major, degree aspirations, commitment a or career-and emphasized factors that would encourage persist, including positive images scientists engineers, attitudes toward equity engineering, classroom experiences. A survey was administered...

Collaborative approaches to knowledge translation seek make research useful and applicable, by centring the perspectives concerns of healthcare actors (rather than researchers) in problem formulation solving. Such thus involves multiple actors, interaction with pre-existing ecologies expertise. Although collaboration is emphasised, conflict, dissonance, other tensions, may arise from multiplicity power dynamics involved. Our article examines this space, as both empirical focus methodology....

Focus groups can be utilized effectively across various stages of instrument development. This article details selected aspects a process in which they were employed at the initial item generation and refinement study occupational stereotyping. The yielded rich contextual information about worldview corresponding terminology participants. In addition, use tool developed previously as an approach to clinical case notes (i.e., SOAP notes), produced surprising benefits documenting focus group...

This study, set in a mixed, adult surgical ward of metropolitan teaching hospital Sydney, Australia, used novel application video-reflexive ethnography (VRE) to engage patients and clinicians an exploration the practical relational complexities patient involvement infection prevention control (IPC). study included individual reflexive sessions with eight six group 35 nurses. VRE usually involves participants reflecting on video footage their own (and colleagues’) practices sessions. We...

Abstract The authors describe the scale development process for three new scales designed to measure attitudes and perceptions about scientists offer implications how these tools can be used on college campuses future research.

Abstract Background The current COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated that personal protective equipment (PPE) is essential, to prevent the acquisition and transmission of infectious diseases, yet its use often sub-optimal in clinical setting. Training education are important ensure sustain safe effective PPE by medical interns, but methods inadequate providing relevant knowledge skills. purpose this study was explore graduates’ experiences identify opportunities for improvement training...

The study’s approach was elicit reflections clarifications about the connections among control activities rules, taking into account awareness, interpretation in situ application those rules. findings are that clinicians responded own practices by articulating previously unheeded tensions constraints including rules were incomplete, undergoing change, conflicting; material...
