Social support in the workplace for physicians in specialization training

2018

ABSTRACT When becoming a specialist, learning-through-service plays a significant role. The workplace affords good opportunities for learning, but the service-learning period may also impose stress on phycisians in specialization training. In medical work, social support has proved to be a very important factor in managing stress. Social support may afford advantages also for learning and professional identity building. However, little was known about how social support is perceived by doctors in specialization training. This study aimed to understand the perceptions of physicians in specialization training regarding social support communication in their workplace during their learning-thro…

Agentic perspective on fostering work-related learning

2017

Despite the increased recognition of the role that professional agency plays in work-related learning, little is known about what supports it. Based on current theoretical notions, the first purpose of this paper is to show that professional agency is closely intertwined with work-related learning. The second purpose is to introduce some main principles that promote professional agency and describe three work-related training settings that are aimed at fostering learning by taking into account agentic perspectives. These complementary settings include an identity coaching programme, a leadership coaching programme, and a work conference. Based on the qualitative meta-synthesis, the paper fu…

Turning Heads on the Dance Floor: Synchrony and Social Interaction Using a Silent Disco Paradigm

2023

Music and dance appear to have a social bonding effect, which some have theorized is part of their ultimate evolutionary function. Prior research has also found a social bonding effect of synchronized movement, and it is possible that interpersonal synchrony could be considered the “active ingredient” in the social bonding consequences of music or dance activity. The present study aimed to separate the effects of synchrony from other factors associated with joint experience of dancing by using a “silent disco” manipulation, in which the timing of a musical stimulus was varied within a dyad in a freestyle dance setting. Three conditions were included: synchrony, tempo-shifted (in which the …

Aivoverenkiertohäiriön sairastaneiden tasapainoharjoittelun vaikuttavuus RCT-tutkimusten perusteella : evidence on the effectiveness of balance train…

2013

Tausta: Tasapainon ongelmat ovat yleisiä aivoverenkiertöhäiriön (AVH) sairastamisen jälkeen. Vaikka AVH-kuntoutujien kuntoutusmenetelmät ovat kiinnostuksen kohteena, on tasapainoharjoittelun vaikuttavuudesta niukasti näyttöön perustuvaa tietoa. Tarkoitus: Tutkia AVH-kuntoutujien tasapainoharjoittelun vaikuttavuutta tasapainoon tasapaino- ja kävelymuuttujilla RCT-tutkimusten perusteella. Aineisto ja menetelmät: Systemaattinen kirjallisuushaku tehtiin Ovid Medline, CINAHL, Embase, Physiotherapy Evidence Database, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials sähköisistä tietokannoista sekä käsihaulla. RCT-tutkimukset, joissa koehenkilöiden ikä oli yli 18- vuotta ja jotka oli julkaistu en…

Academic literature provides us with evidence supporting the demand to device teacher training programs able to aim awareness and reflection about inclusive education themes, moving beyond the only theorical and technical knowledge. The present paper proposes to show a pedagogical experience aimed at Primary Education students of Palermo University, which intends to promote a process of critical thinking on the representation and conceptualization of disability and in‐ clusion, through a training methodology based on the use of performing arts for improving traditional Problem‐based Learning approaches.

Teachers’ situational physiological stress and affect

2023

Since teaching is a demanding and stressful profession, the study of teachers’ physiological stress in the classroom setting is an emerging field. In cross-sectional studies self-reported stress and affect are related, but less is known about the intraindividual relations between situational physiological stress and corresponding positive and negative affect. The aim of our study was to investigate the associations between situational physiological stress (six salivary cortisol samples per day) and self-reported situational affect (Positive and Negative Affect Schedule four times a day) among 61 Finnish primary school teachers over two workdays. We present a novel multilevel structural equa…
