Jul 26th 2024, 15:23

Abstract
Student evaluations of teaching (SET) are typically highly biased. In this paper, three experiments are reported, examining gender bias in SET by manipulating lecturer gender and counterstereotypes. Each experiment involved a vignette about a lecture, with a different context: Study 1 − noisy students disrupting the lesson; Study 2 − students asking for consideration; Study 3 − neutral context of a routine lecture. Structural equation modeling (SEM) revealed that the effect of lecturer gender on SET depended on the context and was both directly (Study 1) and indirectly (Studies 2 and 3) mediated by gender stereotypes. The effect of student’s gender was indirect and mediated by gender stereotypes in all studies. Counterstereotypical descriptions did not affect stereotypical perceptions in any of the experiments. The findings are discussed in terms of social dominance theory (SDT) and social role theory (SRT). They offer novel insights into the mechanism that explains gender and context bias in SET. In terms of practical implications, SET should be considered with caution, particularly when used for critical decisions such as tenure status. Finally, applying additional assessments and statistical methods to control for gender bias is important.

Jul 26th 2024, 15:18

Abstract
This study aimed to demonstrate how one university worked to overcome some of the measurement problems associated with legacy student rating instruments through the creation and investigation of a new student rating instrument based on the most current scholarship on teaching and learning. Measurement problems with legacy instruments include asking about consumer satisfaction (including the use of global ratings) rather than directly assessing the quality of teaching, asking students for self-reports of learning, and asking students to make judgments about the internal state of their instructors. A new instrument was created to intentionally reduce these problems. The new instrument and its predecessor were both administered by 54 instructors in 81 classes and completed by 2,013 students. The following semester, the new instrument was administered university-wide including 1,450 instructors, 3,669 classes, and 58,320 students. The findings indicate that the new instrument created by this process is both reliable and valid but does not reflect multidimensionality. There is also no compelling evidence of bias according to gender or race. This work illustrates the process by which new and better instruments might be created and tested in order to replace flawed legacy instruments in higher education.

Jul 26th 2024, 14:19

Abstract

Background
Social relationships are important health resources and may be investigated as social networks. We measured cancer patients’ social subnetworks divided into generic social networks (people known to the patients) and disease-specific social networks (the persons talked to about the cancer) during 3 years after diagnosis.

Method
Newly diagnosed patients with localized breast cancer (n = 222), lymphoma (n = 102), and prostate cancer (n = 141) completed a questionnaire on their social subnetworks at 2–5 months after diagnosis and 9, 18, and 36 months thereafter. Generic and cancer-specific numbers of persons of spouse/partner; other family; close relatives, in detail; and friends were recorded as well as cancer-specific numbers of persons in acquaintances; others with cancer; work community; healthcare professionals; and religious, hobby, and civic participation. The data was analyzed with regression models.

Results
At study entry, most patients had a spouse/partner, all had close relatives (the younger, more often parents; and the older, more often adult children with families) and most also friends. The cancer was typically discussed with them, and often with acquaintances and other patients (74–86%). Only minor usually decreasing time trends were seen. However, the numbers of distant relatives and friends were found to strongly increase by the 9-month evaluation (P < 0.001).

Conclusion
Cancer patients have multiple social relationships and usually talk to them about their cancer soon after diagnosis. Most temporal changes are due to the natural course of life cycle. The cancer widened the patients’ social networks by including other patients and healthcare professionals and by an increased number of relatives and friends.

Jul 26th 2024, 13:19

Abstract

Background
Cognitive impairment is common in haemodialysis patients and associated with adverse health outcomes. Previous work focused primarily on neuropsychological tests, the gold standard measure of cognition. However, these tests reflect performance under optimal conditions rather than performance in everyday life. This study aims to assess both objective and subjective cognition in haemodialysis patients.

Methods
Adult haemodialysis patients completed measures of objective cognitive impairment (Montreal Cognitive Assessment), subjective cognitive complaints, mood and fatigue symptoms, and provided sociodemographic information. Clinical data such as comorbidity were extracted from patients’ medical record.

Results
A total of 268 haemodialysis patients (mean age = 59.87 years; 42.5% female) participated. Only 25.0% of the sample had normal cognition, while the rest had either objective cognitive impairments or clinically significant cognitive complaints, or both (both objective impairments and subjective complaints: 26.1%; objective impairments without complaint: 38.4%; significant complaints without objective impairments: 10.4%). Lower education was associated with the presence of objective cognitive impairments, whereas depression was associated with the presence of clinically significant cognitive complaints. Patients who exhibited both objective cognitive impairments and significant cognitive complaints were more likely to have diabetes and higher dialysis dose (Kt/V). Patients with objective cognitive impairments but no significant complaints were significantly older.

Conclusions
The cognitive burden of haemodialysis patients can be manifested as objective impairments and/or subjective complaints. When combined the two indicators may better represent the overall cognitive well-being in this population. There is a need to screen for cognitive difficulties and develop cognitive rehabilitative strategies in dialysis settings.

Jul 26th 2024, 12:43

Abstract

Purpose
In this study, we assess how the first and second waves of the COVID-19 pandemic influenced the suicide risk of patients with severe mental disorders in Germany.

Methods
We analyzed German health insurance claims data to compare the suicide risk of patients with severe mental disorders before and during the pandemic. We included n = 690,845 patients between October 2019 and March 2020 and n = 693,457 patients the corresponding period of the previous year and applied entropy balancing to adjust for confounding covariates. Given that the cause of death was unknown, we defined potential suicides as deaths of patients with a history of intentional self-harm whose passing could not be explained by COVID-19. Potential suicides were tracked in both cohorts over one year and compared using logistic regression.

Results
128 potential suicides were identified in the period during and 101 before the pandemic. This corresponded to a significant increase in the risk for potential suicide of 27.4% compared to the control period (β = 0.24, z = 1.82, p < 0.05).

Conclusion
The noticeable increase in the risk for potential suicide for patients with severe pre-existing mental disorders emphasizes the call for additional efforts to prevent suicide and to help patients cope with their mental illness in the aftermath of the COVID-19 crisis.

Jul 26th 2024, 12:28

Abstract
There is a prevailing consensus within literature that higher education plays a pivotal role in national reconstruction and development. As the primary custodians of knowledge, Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) assume a critical responsibility in producing highly skilled graduates, generating knowledge that is pertinent to economic growth and societal progress, comprehending the major challenges confronting our communities, and proposing viable solutions. However, HEIs in post-conflict Somalia face limited resources, infrastructure, and competency challenges. Thus, there is a growing demand for change within the higher education sector. This research investigates the internal factors affecting the readiness of HEIs in Somalia for Public–Private Partnership (PPP) in implementing a national strategy using the Theory of Organizational Readiness for Change. The research utilizes a questionnaire survey to gather data from high-level administrators of HEIs in Somalia. Additionally, correlation analysis and regression analysis were used to examine the factors affecting readiness to implement national strategies through PPP. All statistical analyses were performed using Jamovi (version 2.3.28). The findings showed a consensus among respondents on the necessity of PPPs and government recognition of HEIs’ importance. The findings from a survey reveals that institutional capacity, human resources, and capacity infrastructure are significantly correlated with successful PPP implementation. However, institutional barriers such as unreliable risk-sharing mechanisms, differing organizational cultures, and a lack of supportive institutional environments hinder progress. The research highlights a strong consensus among stakeholders regarding the vital role of PPPs for HEIs in securing government support and fostering a knowledge-based economy. This research contributes to the understanding of PPPs in HEIs within post-conflict contexts and offers valuable insights for policymakers and stakeholders aiming to leverage PPPs for educational development and economic growth.

Jul 26th 2024, 11:21

Abstract

Purpose
Literature on antipsychotic medication adherence in early psychosis primarily assessed adherence behaviors and focused on young patients. There is a paucity of research investigating negative medication attitude and its determinants in the early illness course, particularly in older-aged sample. We aimed to examine prevalence and correlates of medication non-adherence behaviors and negative medication attitudes separately in adult patients with early psychosis.

Methods
One hundred ninety-nine Chinese early psychosis patients aged 26–55 years who had received three-year treatment for first psychotic episode in Hong Kong were examined. Assessments encompassing socio-demographics, premorbid adjustment, clinical and treatment profiles, self-stigma and therapeutic alliance were conducted. Patients were evaluated with Medication Compliance Questionnaire, which is a modified Chinese-translated version of Medication Adherence Rating Scale and includes items measuring adherence behaviors and attitudes towards medications.

Results
Rates of medication non-adherence and negative attitude towards medications were 38.7% and 50.8%, respectively. Multivariate regression analysis showed that more severe positive symptoms, greater self-stigma and negative medication attitude were independently associated with medication non-adherence. Negative attitude towards medications was significantly associated with younger age, higher educational attainment, diagnosis of other psychotic disorders, poorer insight, greater self-stigma and less satisfaction with communication with healthcare staff, which represented an index reflecting suboptimal therapeutic alliance.

Conclusion
Antipsychotic non-adherence and negative medication attitudes are frequently observed in adult early psychosis patients. Our findings indicate that poor insight, elevated self-stigma and suboptimal therapeutic alliance may constitute potential treatment targets for promoting medication adherence and rectifying negative medication attitudes in the early illness stage.

Jul 26th 2024, 10:29

Abstract

Background
A bioecosystem theory was recently proposed positing that negative symptoms of schizophrenia (SZ) are influenced by environmental factors. These environmental processes reflect sources of resource deprivation that manifest across multiple systems that impact individuals directly through microsystems and indirectly through the exosystem and macrosystem. As an initial test of this theory, the current study examined whether self-reported environmental resource deprivation was associated with anhedonia, avolition, and asociality.

Method
Two samples were collected: (1) outpatients with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder (SZ: n = 38) and matched psychiatrically heathy controls (CN: n = 31); (2) youth at clinical high risk for psychosis (CHR: n = 34) and matched CN (n = 30). Measures of negative symptoms and environmental factors influencing the frequency of recreational, goal-directed, and social activities were collected.

Results
Negative symptoms were associated with environmental deprivation factors in the microsystem (number of social and activity settings) and exosystem (economy, mass media, politics/laws, neighborhood crime). These associations did not appear due to depression and were greater among those with SZ than CHR.

Conclusions
These findings provide preliminary support for the bioecosystem theory and highlight an under-recognized role for environmental factors underlying negative symptoms across phases of psychotic illness. Environmental systems-focused treatment approaches may offer a novel means of treating negative symptoms, which could be promising when coupled with person-level pharmacological and psychosocial treatments.

Jul 26th 2024, 08:19

Abstract
This study focuses on the potential academic benefit of virtual international exchange for community colleges and the students they enroll through a comparison of virtual exchange and study abroad. Using data from two community colleges in the US Southeast, this study draws upon the notion of socioacademic integration. Specifically, this study theorizes that both virtual exchange and study abroad have a positive relationship with students’ academic outcomes given their potential to foster socioacademic integrative moments. However, given the scalability of virtual international exchange, it was expected that these programs are associated with a greater relationship to students’ academic outcomes in the aggregate. This study’s results generally confirm these expectations, although findings for virtual exchange are less positive compared to study abroad. Results have implications for the establishment and success of both approaches to international education programming at community colleges. The potential for virtual international exchange to reach a larger group of students compared to study abroad, thus having a greater aggregate impact on students’ success and outcomes, has key policy implications particularly for community colleges, for which service to the community is an integral component of institutional mission.

Jul 26th 2024, 08:18

Abstract
We assessed syphilis screening data from overseas medical examinations among U.S.-bound refugees to characterize seropositive syphilis cases and treatment from January 1, 2015, to December 31, 2018. During this time period, all refugees 15 years and older were required to undergo syphilis screening prior to resettlement to the United States. Of the 160,381 refugee arrivals who had a syphilis screening performed, 697 (434 per 100,000) were diagnosed with any stage (infectious or non-infectious) of syphilis. Among the 697 persons with seropositive syphilis, a majority (63%) were from the Africa region and were male (58%), and 53 (7.6%) were diagnosed with an infectious stage of syphilis. All infectious cases were treated prior to resettlement.

Jul 26th 2024, 07:18

Abstract
Existing qualitative research in higher education on students’ work and family commitments already suggests that time as a resource for college is likely not distributed equitably by race/ethnicity or gender. However, the relationship between race/ethnicity, gender, and time as a resource for college has yet to be quantitatively measured in large-scale higher education research. This study explored whether gender or race/ethnicity correlated with differences in time as a resource for college; and further, the extent to which differences in time as a resource for college may be explained by other factors such as age, number of children, and access to childcare. Retrospective survey responses (n = 41,579) on self-reported time use were merged with institutional data records from students at the City University of New York (CUNY), a large diverse public university in the U.S. Women, Black, and Hispanic students were all significantly more time poor than male, White, or Asian students. Age accounted for significant portions of these differences, perhaps because it correlates with increased work and family responsibilities. Having children as well as a student’s access to childcare also explained a significant portion of inequitable distributions of time as a resource for college.

Jul 26th 2024, 07:18

Abstract
Internships are recognized globally as a high-impact practice that substantially enhances students’ future prospects. However, concerns persist about their legality and potentially exclusionary nature. While prior research indicates participation varies based on key variables, such as gender and major, empirical work remains limited and tends to focus on univariate or single-actor explanations. We employ multi-actor models from management studies to analyze survey data (n = 1153) from 13 U.S. institutions, nine of which are minority-serving institutions (MSI). The data reveal that only 30.3% of the students participated in internships, of which 43.4% were unpaid. Linear probability analysis results indicate that contrary to expectations, individual demographic characteristics, such as gender, were not significant predictors of internship compensation on their own. Instead, academic, institutional, and employer characteristics emerged as significant predictors. Interaction analysis results highlight the combined effects of race, gender, major, MSI status, and employer characteristics in predicting participation in unpaid internships. Further, the data suggest that gender effects are largely influenced by academic major affiliation, emphasizing that unpaid internships do not uniformly affect all students but are predominant in specific sub-groups. We conclude by proposing a strategy to eliminate unpaid internships in the interest of transformative social justice work.

Jul 26th 2024, 05:59

The number of older self-funders in England is growing in the context of tight eligibility criteria and fixed financial thresholds to access statutory adult social care. Older people who self-fund their social care fall largely under the radar of statutory services and of research. Our study aimed to listen closely to the stories that older people tell about finding, managing and paying for their care. We interviewed 65 older people living in the community who were funding all or some of their social care. This paper focuses on narrative analysis of selected transcripts from these interviews. It sheds light on how older people represent their experiences of self-funding and what underpins these constructions. A key finding is that the disjunctions within older people’s accounts between the care they want and the care they receive reflect wider political and structural tensions in the funding and delivery of care. Older self-funders temper their expectations in light of their experience of shortfalls in the system. This enables them to adjust to the deficiencies but obscures and perpetuates poor care. The discussion considers the findings in relation to: the fundamental incompatability of body labour and commodified care; the shared precarity of older people and care workers; and the individualisation of risks that makes older people and their carers responsible for making a failing care system ‘work’. Our analysis adds to the case for major reform of adult social care, including a revaluing of the status and employment conditions of front-line care workers.
