The present study examined the coherence of low- and high-point life-event narratives among adolescents (aged between 12 21 years) their psychological functioning in terms well-being prosocial behaviour. results showed robust age-related increases narrative coherence. Age gender significantly moderated associations functioning. Specifically, higher levels were associated with behaviour only for older adolescents. Higher also lower adolescent boys, but not girls. Results are discussed why...
Progress Tests (PTs) draw on a common question bank to assess all students in programme against graduate outcomes. Theoretically PTs drive deep approaches learning and reduce assessment-related stress. In 2013, were introduced two year groups of medical (Years 2 4), whereas Years 3 5 taking traditional high-stakes assessments. Staged introduction into our curriculum provided time-limited opportunity for comparative study. The main purpose the current study was compare impact undergraduate...
Introduction: Professionalism and professional identity formation (PIF) require a range of experiences opportunities to develop: active in-person learning, role-modelling authentic clinical experience. The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted these. This study explores the pandemic’s effect on for early-stage medical students after initial year. Existing literature provides some empirical data; our focus was who were not yet placement student-derived solutions. Our aim identify deficits, that...

The basic elements of autobiographical or episodic memory are established in early childhood, although the exact age at which memories gain status is still under contention. self-memory system proposed that adults use "lifetime periods" to group together into chapters life story - an evolving and internalized account significant events self-defining. Two studies examined what point development children adolescents begin take advantage lifetime-period organize their memories. results Study 1...
Progress testing was introduced to the MBChB programme at University of Auckland in 2013. As there has been a focus published literature on aspects relating format or function progress tests, purpose this study explore qualitative student perspective introduction and its impact approaches learning perceived stress.This article presents longitudinal evaluation study. The data were derived from eight groups Year 2-5 medical students programme.Two themes, 'Impact Learning' 'Emotional Wellbeing'...
Purpose Many psychiatrists and trainees in Aotearoa New Zealand used telepsychiatry during COVID-19 lockdowns, despite minimal experience training the area. Research on a culturally safe framework is lacking Aotearoa. This study aims to provide better understanding of context identify potential gaps with current practice, focus exploring use Maori, Pacific peoples Asians. Design/methodology/approach qualitative was guided by principles Kaupapa Maori methodology “Give Way Rule” from...
In postgraduate specialist training, workplace assessments are expected to provide the information required for decisions on trainee progression. Research suggests that meeting this expectation can be difficult in practice, which has led development of informal processes, or 'shadow systems' assessment. Rather than rejecting these approaches assessment, we propose borrowing from sociology concept 'desire paths' legitimise and strengthen well-trodden approaches. We asked what about trainees...
Following adaptation to faces with contracted (or expanded) internal features, previously perceived as normal appear distorted in the opposite direction. This figural face aftereffect suggests face-coding mechanisms adapt changes spatial relations of features and/or global structure faces. Here, we investigated whether requires attention. Participants ignored a adapting and performed highly demanding letter-count task. Before after adaptation, participants rated normality morphed ranging...
Interprofessional shadowing, whereby medical students take on the role of another profession, is an effective interprofessional education (IPE) method to promote teamwork. Palliative care ideal setting for IPE as multidisciplinary teams work together deliver holistic patient care. This brief report explores junior doctors’ experiences in shadowing nurses provide patients a hospice New Zealand. We conducted semi-structured interviews with six participants find out impact that this experience...
Investigating how students approach learning is important for designing effective teaching programmes and to ensure better retention application of information learned. The Revised Two-Factor Study Process Questionnaire (R-SPQ-2F) a widely used instrument assessing approaches students' learning, but its ability distinguish between dynamic stable aspects has not been examined using an appropriate methodology. Generalisability theory (G-theory) robust method differentiate patterns establishing...
