Residents who complete this curriculum increase their knowledge of PDM with moderate retention of information. Most residents lack PDM training, believe it is important, and request disaster-training exercises.
It has been hypothesised that sexual offenders hold offence-supportive implicit theories (ITs) or schemata. This study aims to determine whether rape-prone men hold the same offence-supportive ITs as those that have been identified in rapists. This study adopts both an explicit and an implicit measure of ITs (a lexical decision task). In the lexical decision task, participants are primed with an incomplete sentence before being presented with a target word. The target word completes the sentence in either a rape-supportive or a non-rape-supportive manner. The authors predict that men higher on proclivity to rape-who presumably hold strong mental representations of rape-supportive themes-would be faster to respond to word completions that are rape supportive relative to men lower on rape proclivity. Using multiple regressions to determine the relative contributions of both explicit and implicit measures for predicting rape proclivity, the authors find that only the explicit self-report questionnaire was significantly related to a person's rape proclivity score.
Minimal information is available to occupational and physical therapists (rehabilitation therapists) regarding the safe transportation of children who have special healthcare needs (CSHCN). CSHCN may have conditions that impact their ability to be properly restrained in motor vehicles. We conducted an online survey of rehabilitation therapists to determine knowledge, formal training, experience and the amount of counseling provided to families regarding the safe transport of CSHCN before beginning an online training course. Eighteen percent (1075 of 6000) of invited rehabilitation therapists agreed to participate in the online survey. Most of the registered participants were physical therapists (70%) or occupational therapists (18%). A majority reported having little or no knowledge (53%), formal training (79%), or experience (54%), and conducted little or no counseling (61%) with families on the subject. The results of this survey indicate that rehabilitation therapists rate themselves as having low levels of knowledge, training, experience, and counseling of families regarding the subject of safe transportation of CSHCN. We recommend the development and implementation of a continuing educational program for rehabilitation therapists regarding the safe transportation of CSHCN.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
