Promises and Pitfalls: Involving Service Users and Carers in Social Work Manager Education

Partnership working occupies an increasing amount of social work managers' time and budget, requiring skills and abilities not always developed previously within social work programmes. Much discussion around partnership working centres on building collaborative inter-agency and inter-professional relationships with less emphasis on the need to ensure good working relationships with service users and carers, despite their being the ultimate recipients of the process. This article explores efforts to develop a focus on service users and carers within a module for social work managers as part of post-qualifying (PQ) social work education. It documents a process where, initially, service users and carers provided personal testimonies of being recipients of services and then subsequently occupied more authoritative roles within teaching, to the current position when they are again less actively involved.

In describing these developments it explores possible reasons why involving service users and carers within this module has proved challenging. The article acknowledges that there is relatively limited literature about the involvement of service users and carers in PQ education. It suggests that lessons learned from involving service users and carers in qualifying social work training cannot directly be transposed to the post-qualifying context.

Sleep disturbances in shift-workers: A marker for maladaptation syndrome

Abstract

This study aims to examine whether the relationship between overtime and well-being is influenced by the voluntary vs. involuntary (i.e., compulsory) nature of overtime work and by the presence or absence of rewards for overtime. We also explored the prevalence of these types of overtime and how they were related to work and personal characteristics. A survey was conducted among a representative sample of Dutch full-time employees (N=1612). AN(C)OVA was used to compare rewarded and unrewarded, voluntary and involuntary overtime workers on personal and work characteristics, fatigue, and work satisfaction. Most overtime workers were rewarded (62%). About half of the sample (n=814) could be classified as either voluntary or involuntary overtime workers, or as having “mixed reasons” to work overtime. Voluntary and unrewarded overtime workers had a relatively high income and favourable job characteristics. Involuntary overtime work was associated with relatively high fatigue and low satisfaction, especially for involuntary overtime workers without rewards who can be considered a burnout risk group. Voluntary overtime workers were non-fatigued and satisfied, even without rewards. It can be concluded that control over overtime and rewards for overtime are important for well-being. Moderate overtime work may not be a problem if it is done voluntarily. Moreover, the negative effects of compulsory overtime work may be partly offset by fair compensation for the extra work.

Criterion for the Selection of a Working Correlation Structure in the Generalized Estimating Equation Approach for Longitudinal Balanced Data

The generalized estimating equation is a popular method for analyzing correlated response data. It is important to determine a proper working correlation matrix at the time of applying the generalized estimating equation since an improper selection sometimes results in inefficient parameter estimates. We propose a criterion for the selection of an appropriate working correlation structure. The proposed criterion is based on a statistic to test the hypothesis that the covariance matrix equals a given matrix, and also measures the discrepancy between the covariance matrix estimator and the specified working covariance matrix. We evaluated the performance of the proposed criterion through simulation studies assuming that for each subject, the number of observations remains the same. The results revealed that when the proposed criterion was adopted, the proportion of selecting a true correlation structure was generally higher than that when other competing approaches were adopted. The proposed criterion was applied to longitudinal wheeze data, and it was suggested that the resultant correlation structure was the most accurate.

汉字与面部表情及手机符号理解机制的ERP研究

目的用事件相关脑电位（ERPs）来研究语义启动下面部表情、手机表情符号和对应情绪字的理解通达机制及其差异。方法被试为19名（9男10女）右利手健康在校大学生。采用Oddball实验模式,要求被试对出现的面部表情、手机表情符号和对应情绪字进行按键正确匹配。记录32导脑电。结果1．被试对三种符号的反应时均为750毫秒左右,无显著统计学意义;2．ERP波形显示面孔的P2波幅最小,对应手机符号最大;3．三者正慢波（PSW）并行并对,字匹配的正慢波波幅最小,面孔最大;结论三种模式识别都包括三个阶段,即前加工阶段、P2阶段和评价检测阶段。PSW反映了模式识别后进行进一步加工的客观指标,是一种复合波,同时也反映了工作记忆中的提取和储存两个阶段的复杂整合。
