Published: May 2023

Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the medical conditions of patients who are inpatient with a peripheral intravenous catheter inserted in a private hospital in Northern Cyprus and to determine the frequency of use and risk factors that have occurred or may occur.

Methods: The research is descriptive and cross-sectional. All patients who are hospitalized in a private hospital in Northern Cyprus formed the universe. The data were collected using a form of with 18 items. Data collection was provided face-to-face with the patients and from their own patient files. Written informed consent was obtained from the university ethics committee, the university administration and the patients for the study.

Results: It was determined that most of the patients were male (49.09%) and peripheral intravenous use was more used (92.73%) in patients older than 18 years of age. It was determined that 98.18% of the patients had the date of the catheter documented, and 54.55% did not specify the insertion time. The anterior part of the arm was found to be the most common catheter application (36.36%). In 85.45% of the patients, a catheter-related problem(s) did not develop and 61.82% of them were evaluated in the last 24 hours.

Conclusion: The latest status of peripheral intravenous catheter applications and compliance and focus on internationally published guidelines in peripheral intravenous catheter applications and management bring about a serious improvement in surveillance, evaluation, decision-making, minimizing application errors, reducing the risk of complications, and documentation.

Scrutinizing Learning Management Systems in Practice: An Applied Time Series Research in Higher Education
Authors: Barut Tuğtekin Esra
Published: May 2023

This study examined the use of Advancity Learning Management Systems (ALMS) and the Moodle Learning Management Systems (LMS) in learning settings, as well as online exams, within the framework of Transactional Distance Theory. With 146 college students (nfemale = 102, nmale = 44) as voluntary participants, data was gathered through an online questionnaire. A time series design was used for two different LMS sessions, and participants who voluntarily participated in ALMS and Moodle LMS sessions were matched. The findings revealed that while Moodle and ALMS both receive relatively similar assessment ratings for online exams, Moodle scored better in terms of learning setting. When factors of the Learning Management Systems Evaluation Scale (LMSES) based on Transactional Distance Theory were compared, the dialogue and autonomy factors were significantly higher for Moodle LMS than for ALMS. When online exams in the LMS were compared, there was no significant difference between ALMS and Moodle LMS, and for both LMS, the reliability factor was a determinant indicator than the other factors. As a result, in assessing and using an LMS, choices should be based on how well the LMS characteristics address an institution’s demands.

Published: May 2023

Identification of key factors affecting the self-directed learning process in the virtual environment of medical education is vital. In this article, we designed a model that describes the self-directed learning process in the virtual learning environment for post graduate students of medical sciences in Iran. This study was carried out in two steps: first, using a qualitative study, we explored the formation of a self-directed learning process in the virtual environment. Second, a review of the literature was conducted to identify the conceptual models. Finally, based on the results, a self-directed learning model for virtual learning was developed. A total of 25 people were research participants in the qualitative part, and individual interviews were conducted with both faculty members and students. There were 1,049 codes, 80 subcategories, 15 categories, and 5 themes extracted from the interviews and through analysis. The themes included (a) backgrounds and requirements, (b) support, discipline, and coordination of the educational system, (c) students’ effort to manage to learn, (d) efficiency, attractiveness, and organization of educational environments and context, and (e) personal excellence, growth, and development. The self-directed learning process in virtual environments consists of some elements and structures, and a description of the relationship between these elements can be the basis of educational planning to develop and compile an effective evaluation of this skill.

Development of a paper-based antioxidant sensor using DPPH reagent. This sensor is made using a screen-printing method to create a 5 mm diameter detection zone which is immobilized with DPPH reagents. The analysis was carried out in one step by immobilizing antioxidants/samples in the detection zone. After reduction by antioxidants, DPPH radicals become stable DPPH molecules, resulting in a change in color from purple to pale yellow. The purple intensity of DPPH was inversely proportional to the antioxidant activity of the sample and was measured using the help of ImageJ software. The optimal conditions for using DPPH reagents at a concentration of 5 mM and the volume in each detection zone were 3 µL. Characterization of this sensor analysis was carried out on gallic acid with the response time in the 12-minute, linearity with r = 0,9895, detection limit (LOD) value 0,0349 mM GAE, the quantitation limit (LOQ) value was 0,1164 mM GAE, with precision <2% (RSD), and meets the accuracy range of 97-103%. This sensor is then validated against DPPH spectrophotometry UV-Vis by analyzing antioxidant activity from plant extracts. The results showed no significant differences for the gallic acid equivalent for all samples obtained from the two methods at a confidence level of 97-103%, indicating that the method developed could be relied upon to analyze antioxidant activity from real samples. Finally, the paper-based antioxidant sensor is known to be stable for three days when stored in the refrigerator (2- 4 °C), stable for 2 hours at room temperature (25ºC), and makes paper sensors easy to use for end users.

Published: May 2023

This study investigated the effect that students’ participation in the production of instructional resources for teaching has on the achievement of Nigerian students in Technical Drawing. A pre-test, post-test, non-equivalent control group, quasi-experimental research design was adopted. 139 students constituted the subjects in the experimental group and 113 students constituted the subjects in the control group for the study. Four research questions and four null hypotheses, guided the study. Technical Drawing Achievement Test (TDAT) and Technical Drawing Interest Inventory (TDII) served as data collection instruments. The TDAT and TDII were trial-tested to determine their reliability coefficient via Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient formula and Cronbach Alpha respectively. Derived mean Coefficient and ANCOVA was used to answer research questions and hypotheses. The study revealed that the mean achievement and interest scores of students who participated in the production of instructional resources were higher than the mean achievement and interest scores of students who did not participate in the instructional resources production. Consequently, researchers recommended that teachers should always involve students in groupwork – production of instructional resources for teaching technical drawing in order to stimulate students’ interest for better academic achievement.
Using groupwork to enhance parental presence and emotional availability
Authors: Jude Julia , Rivera-Gould Veronica , Flores Gilda
Published: May 2023

Abstract: In this paper we focus on the process of a group through the lens of a case study. Within this we pursue two goals. Firstly we combine approaches derived from Bowlby’s (1982 & 1988) ideas on attachment and emotional availability (AEA), with mindfulness, non-violent resistance (NVR) and systemic practices and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), to provide a method for situating our work. Secondly we propose some integrated ideas for the formation and development of parent related groupwork. In conclusion we offer our recommendation for groupwork practice to enhance parents’ emotional availability, highlighting some of the strengths and issues encountered during the process of the group.

The article identifies how the unique skills of an Occupational Therapist, such as activity analysis, grading and adapting environments, enables individuals to regain a missed role in life/skill or acquire a new one. This reflective account draws upon the experiences of two 2nd year Occupational Therapy students facilitating a reminiscent occupation focussed intervention on a scope placement. There is an emphasis on how meaningful occupations can enhance mental health are examined. Analysis of group work is investigated, challenges faced, drawing parallels to Belbin’s team-work roles. Qualitative outcomes are discussed that measure the effectiveness of group work within this elderly localised population and provide a baseline of which future research would be beneficial. To conclude - The outcome of this reflective account highlights the importance of gaining a deeper understanding of group work and the dynamics considered to do this effectively. This applies to collaborative practice amongst teams but also when engaging individuals to be less isolated, as part of an intervention of therapy. Clinical practice, reflections, and relevant literature provide the student with the tools of self-development, enabling better quality service user experience. The experience accounted, shows reflective evidence that Occupational Therapists can encompass all the benefits of group work alongside an therapeutic intervention to bring value to an individuals’ t social and physical wellbeingKeywords: groupwork; group work; occupational therapy,; student; reminiscence; baking; intervention
Respect Detectors: A support and educational group engaging LGBTQ activists to prevent violence in their community
Authors: Kessler Lorraine
Published: May 2023

Abstract: Respect Detectors is a manualized community education program designed to inform workshop participants on the specialized needs of LGBTQ-identified people experiencing domestic violence or sexual assault. The pilot of the program, hosted by University of Southern Maine’s Center for Sexualities and Gender Diversity, involved a small group of dedicated community members, most of whom were LGBTQ. Information generated by group participants included discussion of the intersectionality of their sexual and gender identities with the experience of being a domestic violence or sexual assault survivor. Details about several experiences of oppression in the context of multiple cultural identities is a particularly valuable component of these discussions. Professional social workers and other mental health providers should consider this information an important insight about cultural sensitivity to LGBTQ clients, particularly those who experience domestic violence or assault. The authors highlight how the group participants motivated each other to continue to be politically active around this issue in their community. Recommendations include being attentive to the specialized needs of LGBTQ people as a group, and how the experience of belonging to a group that is discriminated against further impacts traumatic events like domestic violence.Keywords: LGBTQ; LGBT; support group; domestic violence; sexual violence; oppression; sexual assault; prevention; active by-stander

A review of:A Mutual-Aid Model for Social Work with Groups (3rd edition)Dominique Moyse Steinberg
Editorial: Group Work Camp
Authors: Kelly Brian L , Jennie.fleming@ntu.ac.uk Jennie
Published: May 2023

Welcome to this special issue of Groupwork, which features papers on the International Association for Social Work with Groups (IASWG) sponsored Group Work Camp. Before beginning my thoughts on the historical relevance of summer camps and their importance to modern groupwork practice, I must note that this editorial is decidedly American. The camp history I present is closely related to the development of the recreation movement in the U.S. during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This history highlights the relationship between summer camps and groupwork and the important role groupwork played, and continues to play, in summer camps. In many ways this analysis is apropos as the IASWG Group Work Camp originated in the U.S. and is deeply indebted to this history.

Abstract: This article is written by multiple authors all of whom participated in a ‘Groupcamp’ (a residential experience for groupworkers about groupwork) in Birštonas, Lithuania, in October 2015. The purpose of the camp was to bring groupworkers together from various countries and with many different group approaches, but with a common desire to share their practices and to experience them directly. The Groupcamp in Lithuania honoured the work of Ann Bergart and her colleagues who have established an experiential Groupcamp in the US. Groupcamp allows those on the ‘factory floor’ to exchange knowledge directly through practical group experiences that transcend language and culture. The purpose of the paper is to give the reader a flavour of these experiences and to pass on some practical group exercises – their purposes, how they might be used and the reflections of those who experienced them. The paper reflects on the journey made by the various participants over the three days of the camp.Keywords: group work; groupwork; Groupcamp; IASWG; experiential learning; activities; improvisation
Experiential practice learning: Providing a theoretical knowledge foundation
Authors: Tully Greg
Published: May 2023

Abstract: Using experiential activities is one way to provide alternative content that moves groupwork practice away from the structured curriculum-driven or facilitator-driven approach, and moves groupwork practice more toward the direction of group activity that promotes cooperative group member learning and growth. However, we should recognize the importance of providing a theoretical knowledge foundation prior to learning about experiential practice; it is vital to learn the foundational knowledge pertinent to the successful use of experiential activities in groups.Keywords: activities; group planning; group stages; group types; theoretical knowledge; support; group work; groupwork
Group Work Camp: Rekindling the campfire
Authors: Beno Mary Frances H
Published: May 2023

Abstract: A group facilitator and retired social worker describes and reflects on experiences, activities and learnings as participant facilitator at three Group Work Camp events. A mechanism through which personal and professional growth occurs using experiential learning is described. The author shares aspects of workshop design, workshop execution, and workshop as intervention, as well as a limit to and successful uses of emergent design. Collaboration and relationship growth across differences when diversity is respected is illustrated, as is the use of song for claiming voice, empowerment and healing. The ability of groups to assist when individuals fear losing or have lost their professional voice through life changes is demonstrated. Impacts occur on various levels: on the individual and interpersonal/interactional levels as the author relates personal insight into Erikson’s developmental stages and interactions with a co-facilitator; on the group/organizational level as the author relates empowerment through song to help rekindle benefits of song around the campfire; and on the societal/community level relating to social justice, generativity across differences and disciplines, international symposia participation and publication.Keywords: group work; experiential learning; nondeliberative; song; empowerment; collaboration; groupwork
Visual methods of working with a team IASWG Camp
Authors: Bartusevičiene Lina , Liobikiene Terese Nijole
Published: May 2023

Abstract: In this article we share our experience of some of the visual methods that we use most often. These methods help group members to participate in groupwork processes more efficiently. The article reveals the motives for choosing visual methods, preparation for groupwork and the process of groupwork. Different camp preparation stages highlight different needs and tensions. The whole process might be divided into several parts: 1) generating ideas, highlighting aims; 2) distributing roles and preparing presentation; 3) working with a group: presentation, observation of group dynamics and reflection. When preparing the camp’s programme a number of questions emerged: the type of reports; whether the program should be oriented towards the presentation of a method or towards the theoretical aspects; the ratio of foreign and Lithuanian reports; whether the target audience of our report should be only – Lithuanians or include foreigners. To initiate discussion among group members the seminar material (collared cards) was presented. In this way the participants had the opportunity to experience the main elements of the method themselves. The activity was more attractive, the atmosphere conveyed trust and freedom in which participants were active, able to express their ‘here and now’ experience, and share their grounded opinion.Keywords: motives; visual methods; group dynamics; experience; reflection; group work; groupwork

Māori student perceptions of group work in their social work degree
Authors: Guy Donna Louise
Published: May 2023

Few practitioners today would argue the value of group work as an effective teaching approach to enhance deep learning opportunities for social work students – but how many of us have stopped towonder whether our students agree? This paper presents the findings from an interpretive study, using a mixed method approach to investigate students’ perceptions of group work. A particular focus was the experiences of Māori students, as one of the frequently cited assumptions about Māori cultural teaching and learning preferences is that they are a communally-minded culture with a preference for group, rather than individualized processes and inquiry.Māori are the indigenous people of Aotearoa New Zealand,comprising 15% of the population. Like many indigenous and colonized cultures, Māori have experienced ongoing oppression and practices of colonization resulting in significant disparities in social, economic status, education, health and wellbeing (Ministry of Health, 2015; Tertiary Education Commission, 2011). Māori are a large client group for social workers, and the profession is keen to ensure a strong Māori presence among the qualified practitioners to work alongside their own people. It is important, then, that teachers give Māori students in higher education every assistance to succeed.The findings from this study highlighted a few surprises. Māori students revealed mixed and, at times, contradictory perceptions of the value of group work. As one participant revealed, “Group work can be really awesome but it can also be really stunting”. While acknowledging a number of benefits, students emphasised peer influences and the role of the teacher as having a significant impact on whether group work was deemed a positive or negative experience. This paper discusses these, and other key themes related to positive and negative group work experiences, along with strategies students suggested to enhance their social work study experience. The paper concludes that generalizing about Māori, and/or possibly other indigenous cultures who naturally thrive in collective environments, does not mean we can assume they will thrive during group work in the higher education classroom. Finally, some reflections and implications for best practice are offered.
Strengthening Students’ Employability Skills: The Development and First Evaluation of Multiple Approaches to Group Work
Authors: Boshoff Salomien Hester
Published: May 2023

Graduates are not always ready for the workplace, and higher education lecturers are expected to develop students’ employability skills. Group work is perceived to be an effective way to develop these skills. It is not clear, however, what types of group work are most effective for strengthening the business management student’s readiness for the workplace. Three approaches to group work were developed and implemented, namely, 1. A self-allocated group that worked together outside the classroom; 2. A random lecturer-allocated group that only undertook in-class activities; and 3. A pair that worked on a long-term community-service project. The article provides detail on the theoretical underpinnings, the application of the theory and a small-scale exploration of the perceived impact of the integrated approach. In an improvement-oriented evaluation study, business management graduates completed an open-ended questionnaire six months after starting employment. The findings suggest that integrating the three approaches in one module has the potential to improve different aspects of students’ employability skills. The insights gained from the implementation of the approach and the study could serve to guide lecturers in similar environments on how to design/plan group work in order to improve different employability skills.

Sustaining Staff Who Support
Authors: McKenna Sinead
Published: May 2023

The Irish Mental Health Service has undergone significant transformation in recent decades, with A Vision for Change, the national policy on mental health, outlining a multidisciplinary approach facilitated through local Community Mental Health Teams (CMHTs). Despite this emphasis on teamworking, there has been little formal direction around teamworking and team functioning within CMHTs and there is no recognition of the complexities that often arise within groups of people. International research reiterates the importance of positive teamworking when providing a health service; that is that an awareness of group dynamics, and an ability to address any difficulties can enhance team functioning.  This study examined the group dynamics that arise within CMHTs to determine the impact that this has on team functioning. This was done through an interpretive phenomenological approach whereby ten CMHT professionals were interviewed using a semi-structured format that focused on their attitudes and experiences of working in their multidisciplinary teams. The findings demonstrated that interprofessional group dynamics were a consistent feature of CMHTs.  The Consultant Psychiatrist is usually viewed as nominal lead of individual CMHTs, which had a direct impact on team functioning. This impact on team functioning was exacerbated by unclear lines of governance, with many CMHT members reporting to line managers external to the team. Specific further study is needed to develop this research on a national level, which would include research with teams where a Team Coordinator has been appointed.Key Words: Community Mental Health Teams; Leadership; Groups; Teamwork; Interdisciplinary; Governance
The Kindness Group
Authors: Johnson Paul , Lamothe Kim
Published: May 2023

All students in their senior year in the BSW Undergraduate Program at the University of Southern Maine are required to complete a yearlong field work placement.  To support and enhance this process, the students also attend a weekly seminar for the entire academic year. In addition, students are required to complete a Capstone Project. The intent of this Project is that it will have a lasting impact after the student has left their placement.  Over the course of the academic year 2017-2018, Kim Lamothe was placed at a Middle School in the Mid Coast region of Maine.  For her Capstone Project, Kim came up with the concept of the Kindness Group after reviewing the School’s mission statement, which talked about providing a safe, positive environment for all students whereby respect and appreciation for all differences is the norm.  Using her assessment skills and theories that she had covered in her other social work classes, Kim realized that the School could do a better job in realizing these goals. The Kindness Group was an open group. Flyers were distributed throughout the School encouraging students to attend. The Group also used actionable activities, for example, students designed posters and t-shirts. They had a Twin and Triplets Day in which students coordinated outfits. Students were encouraged to listen to their peers and try and imagine what it must be like to walk in their shoes. As part of the long-term legacy activity, the students along with a number of community partners held a yellow tulip project.  In the fall semester, they planted hundreds of tulip bulbs. These bulbs all bloomed in the spring and the students dedicated these tulips to those who were suffering from mental illness. Each week in the seminar Kim discussed the Kindness Group. She talked about the successes and frustrations of the Group and all of her peers were extremely supportive.  At the end of the academic year, Kim presented her Capstone Project to the class.  Everyone was extremely impressed with the work she had undertaken. In addition, Kim and I presented this work at the IASWG 2019 Symposium at NYU.  Again, at the Symposium Kim was met with numerous accolades. It was apparent to all that this peer support group had created and cultivated a positive inclusive environment for all.
Application of CHAT Analysis to a Community-Based Action Team
Authors: Casstevens Willa , Stansbury Kim
Published: May 2023

This study applies cultural historical activity theory (CHAT) to a community-based racial equity and social justice action group in the American South. The community action group is referred to as a “team” by participants and by its host community. The CHAT framework applied incorporates Vygotsky’s mediated action triangle and holds that learning can occur within any activity system. Using CHAT, it is possible to clarify points of tension that occurred within the action team during the community-based team’s first year of development. Reflecting on points of tension within the CHAT framework supported appropriate modifications to the team’s development. This application of the CHAT framework demonstrates ways CHAT could be applied to support leadership assessment and constructive follow-up on areas of tension in a community group, thereby contributing to group maintenance and ongoing well-being.

Considering the rules of brainstorming in untrained idea generating groups
Authors: Henningsen David Dryden , Henningsen Mary Lynn
Published: May 2023

Brainstorming (Osborn, 1957), as an idea generating technique, is widely used in businesses and organizations despite evidence that it fails to produce more ideas than non-interacting groups (e.g., Mullen, Johnson, & Salas, 1991). Past tests of the technique employ comparisons of groups instructed to follow the rules of brainstorming (i.e., focus on quantity, free-wheeling, non-evaluation, and piggy-backing) to groups without such instructions. In the current study, the connection between the activities proposed in the rules of brainstorming and idea generation are examined.  The perceived occurrence of these activities are examined in untrained idea generating groups to assess how they influence idea generation. 188 participants (61% men, 39% women), performed an idea generation task (i.e., the typewriter task) and assessed perceptions of the occurrence of the activities highlighted by the brainstorming rules in the group discussion. Overall, perceptions of brainstorming rules influence the number of ideas generated with piggy-backing emerging as a significant predictor variable.

Authors: Morejón-Llamas Noemí
Published: May 2023

Introducción: La pandemia sanitaria ha provocado una explosión de bulos que mitigan la predisposición y el ritmo de vacunación, especialmente en Latinoamérica. Esto convierte al fact-checking journalism en una opción para sanear la conversación científica. Objetivos: Analizar las características y los ejes discursivos de la desinformación sobre la vacunación de COVID-19 en Latinoamérica y la labor de las agencias que la verifican. Metodología: Investigación cuantitativa y cualitativa mediante análisis de contenido a 113 desinformaciones extraídas de LatamChequea Vacunas. Resultados: Los países que más chequean son Argentina y Brasil, sobre todo, en los meses de junio, agosto y septiembre. Predominan los contenidos falsos, en formato texto, sobre los efectos adversos y la aplicación y eficacia, circulando por varias redes sociales, con preeminencia de Facebook. La actividad de los fact-checkers no es suficiente, pues los ritmos de propagación son más rápidos que los de chequeo. También exhiben limitaciones como la falta de identificación del sujeto desinformador, el contacto con las fuentes involucradas y la carencia de herramientas digitales en los procesos. Conclusión: Latinoamérica se ha convertido en un foco desinformativo sobre la vacunación de COVID-19 a través de planteamientos ideológicos impulsados por colectivos negacionistas y conspiranoicos que restan credibilidad al proceso de inoculación.
Una taxonomía de los mensajes sobre conductas saludables recordados por adultos en Chile
Authors: Peña-y-Lillo Macarena
Published: May 2023

Introducción: Los estudios del vínculo entre la exposición a información sobre salud y la adopción y mantención de conductas preventivas suelen pasar por alto que dentro del concepto “información” pueden existir distintas categorías. Objetivo: Explorar los mensajes que reciben las personas en torno a tres hábitos saludables: la práctica de actividad física, el consumo de frutas y verduras y el abandono del consumo de tabaco. Métodos: Se realizaron 36 entrevistas semiestructuradas con personas mayores de 25 años residentes en la ciudad de Santiago de Chile. Resultados: Los mensajes que las personas recuerdan haber recibido pueden organizarse en cuatro categorías: riesgos o aspectos negativos, beneficios, información práctica y prescripciones. Las personas conectan algunas categorías claramente con la adopción de comportamientos, mientras que otras parecen irrelevantes o incluso perjudiciales. Además, se advierten diferencias etarias en la recordación de distintas categorías. Conclusión: Este estudio subraya la necesidad de abrir el concepto de información sobre salud cuando se quiere estudiar su incidencia en las decisiones de salud de las personas, teniendo en cuenta que los entornos informativos de los sujetos están compuestos por distintos tipos de mensajes y que no todos ellos empujan en la dirección deseada.
