Multisyllabic implementation fidelity in upper elementary and professional development considerations
Introduction This study aimed to investigate instructors' implementation fidelity of a program targeting multisyllabic decoding and encoding and its effects on upper elementary students' reading and spelling performance. Additionally, the research explored the influence of professional development (PD) and contextual factors on teachers' instructional practices. Methods The study involved nine female instructors from three adjacent elementary sch…
Development and Validation of a Questionnaire on Multisyllabic Decoding and Encoding With Upper Elementary Learners
This study aimed to develop and validate a self‐efficacy and affect questionnaire focused on upper‐elementary students' reading and spelling of multisyllabic words. The research addresses a gap in understanding students' self‐efficacy, affect, and avoidance behaviors related to decoding and spelling complex words. Participants included 395 students in grades 3–5 from rural Title I schools in the southeastern United States. Students completed a 34…
Coaching Home Care Clients to Prepare Their Homes for Safe Care Visits
Assuring home care (HC) workers' safety is challenging because the work environment is a private home. This paper presents the process evaluation for a proof-of-concept safety intervention study to assess whether nurse-led safety coaching, using motivational interviewing and a safety handbook, could enable HC clients to improve safety in their homes. The process evaluation objectives were to (i) document the intervention's implementation progress…
Effects of precarious work on symptomatology of anxiety and depression in Chilean workers, a cross sectional study
Precarious work was associated with anxiety and depression as measured with the 12-item General Health Questionnaire. Controlling for demographic variables changed neither the direction nor the magnitude of the association
Risk of Kidney Injury among Construction Workers Exposed to Heat Stress
Saudi Arabia (SA) is one of the hottest countries in the world. This study was conducted to assess the impact of summer heat stress in Southeastern SA on short-term kidney injury (KI) among building construction workers and to identify relevant risk factors. Measurements of urinary albumin-creatinine ratio (ACR), height, weight, hydration, symptoms, daily work and behavioral factors were collected in June and September of 2016 from a cohort of co…
Understanding sharps injuries in home healthcare
Sharps injuries are preventable through public health actions that promote needleless treatment methods, sharps with injury prevention features, and safe disposal practices. Communication about hazards regarding sharps is needed for all home healthcare stakeholders
Sharps Injuries and Other Blood and Body Fluid Exposures Among Home Health Care Nurses and Aides
Objectives. We quantified risks of sharp medical device (sharps) injuries and other blood and body fluid exposures among home health care nurses and aides, identified risk factors, assessed the use of sharps with safety features, and evaluated underreporting in workplace-based surveillance. Methods. We conducted a questionnaire survey and workplace-based surveillance, collaborating with 9 home health care agencies and 2 labor unions from 2006 to …
The inverse hazard law
Assessing health impact assessment
Health impact assessment (HIA) seeks to expand evaluation of policy and programmes in all sectors, both private and public, to include their impact on population health. While the idea that the public’s health is affected by a broad array of social and economic policies is not new and dates back well over two centuries, what is new is the notion—increasingly adopted by major health institutions, such as the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the…
Occupational Health, Public Health, Worker Health
The fields of occupational safety and health (OSH) and public health have become disconnected, but recent developments point to ways to reverse this widening gap. Within public health, the need to address health disparities in the US population has brought about a renewed emphasis on social and environmental determinants of disease. OSH offers a way to reach a large portion of the population experiencing these disparities. But to reconnect public…
