“…Although most participants had received training on PBS, more than two-fifths of staff either had not or were unsure about whether they had received this training. Research has found that when a PBS programme is delivered as part of a systemic, regional and workforce development approach, there were significant intervention effects for staff practice and retention (McKenzie et al, 2021). Of concern, most participants also reported that they had not or were unsure of whether they had received training in trauma-informed care.…”

BackgroundThere has been extensive research into adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), however, less consideration has been given to the prevalence and impact of ACEs for staff working with people with intellectual disabilities.MethodParticipants were staff employed by agencies that care for people with intellectual disabilities. An online survey collected demographic information and measures of ACEs, resilience, trauma‐informed organisational climate, burnout and secondary traumatic stress. Correlation, regression, mediation and moderation analyses were used.Results81.7% of 109 participants had experienced at least one ACE. Burnout, secondary traumatic stress and resilience were greater in the present study than in comparable samples. Trauma‐informed organisational climate significantly predicted burnout and secondary traumatic stress. Resilience significantly predicted burnout.ConclusionsStaff working with people with intellectual disabilities are likely to have experienced ACEs. Working in a trauma‐informed organisational climate and resilience may be effective avenues for reducing burnout and secondary traumatic stress.

“…Penggunaan tenaga kerja dalam proses produksi minyak kayu putih dapat dikaji menggunakan pendekatan tenaga kerja (labor utilization approach) (McKenzie et al, 2021), angkatan kerja dibedakan dalam tiga golongan, yaitu (a) Menganggur, orang yang sama sekali tidak bekerja (open unemployed) dan sedang berusaha mencari kerja (Vong et al, 2019); (b) Setengah (under employed), mereka yang kurang dimanfaatkan dalam bekerja (underutilized) dilihat dari segi jam kerja, produktivitas kerja dan pendapatan (Santra, 2021); dan (c) Bekerja penuh atau dimanfaatkan secara optimal (Sari et al, 2021;Supriyati, 2016). Posisi tenaga kerja yang dimanfaatkan oleh petani minyak kayu putih adalah mereka yang masih bersekolah dan ada pula yang bekerja (sektor non pertanian) yang kemudian diikutkan sebagai tenaga kerja yang bekerja penuh dan dimanfaatkan secara optimal.…”

Eucalyptus oil is a superior regional commodity in Buru Regency. In addition to the relatively high selling price, oil derived from the eucalyptus plant is needed by various industrial sectors to be used as an essential ingredient for medicine. However, when we examine the daily lives of eucalyptus oil farmers, we will find that the economic situation is quite worrying, and the socio-economic environment lags behind the workers in other sectors. If natural resources are abundant, eucalyptus oil workers should be able to have a decent life, especially amid the Covid-19 pandemic, which severely limits the social and economic space of workers. This study uses a phenomenological approach, the determination of informants using a purposive sampling technique based on predetermined criteria and determined based on the research objectives. Field findings show that farmers use physical adaptation strategies to meet production targets, negatively impacting labor and land sustainability. Excessive time and work patterns result in the emergence of physical insecurity among farmers, as well as land degradation, which endangers the survival of farmers. We propose that intensive and constant rehabilitation of production can reduce the detrimental impact of the physical approach of eucalyptus oil farmers during the pandemic, ensuring the sustainability of farmers and land.Keywords: Adaptation; Land, Farmers; Strategy

“…A control group was taken from staff who did not attend the course or work with colleagues who did. A combination of bespoke rating scales, standard questionnaires, periodic service review and staff reports were used (McKenzie et al, 2021). The findings suggest trained staff demonstrated a better understanding of the reasons for why behaviours that challenge occur, produced better Behaviour Support Plans, that understood the needs of the person, attempted to promote a better quality of life and were implemented with greater integrity.…”

Purpose Positive behavioural support (PBS) as a framework for delivering quality services is recognised in important policy documents (CQC, 2020; NICE, 2018), yet there is an absence in the literature on how this could be implemented on a large scale. The purpose of this paper is to describe a recent implementation of a workforce strategy to develop PBS across social care and health staff and family carers, within the footprint of a large integrated care system. Design/methodology/approach A logic model describes how an initial scoping exercise led to the production of a regional workforce strategy based on the PBS Competence Framework (2015). It shows how the creation of a regional steering group was able to coordinate important developmental stages and integrate multiple agencies into a single strategy to implement teaching and education in PBS. It describes the number of people who received teaching and education in PBS and the regional impact of the project in promoting cultural change within services. Findings This paper demonstrates a proof of concept that it is possible to translate the PBS Competency Framework (2015) into accredited courses. Initial scoping work highlighted the ineffectiveness of traditional training in PBS. Using blended learning and competency-based supervision and assessment, it was possible to create a new way to promote large-scale service developments in PBS supported by the governance of a new organisational structure. This also included family training delivered by family trainers. This builds on the ideas by Denne et al. (2020) that many of the necessary building blocks of implementation already exist within a system. Social implications A co-ordinated teaching and education strategy in PBS may help a wide range of carers to become more effective in supporting the people they care for. Originality/value This is the first attempt to describe the implementation of a framework for PBS within a defined geographical location. It describes the collaboration of health and social care planners and a local university to create a suite of courses built around the PBS coalition competency framework.
