The article reported that CS occupational therapists in KwaZulu Natal were either sole-practitioners or worked in a small team of occupational therapists and sometimes alongside other CS rehabilitation staff.…”

A vocational rehabilitation interest group of occupational therapists in the publicin some hospitals newly appointed and inexperienced occupational therapists refuse to write vocational rehabilitation reports, leaving it to their more experienced colleagues and therefore perpetuating the challenges and complications mentioned above.The VRTT identified report writing as a priority practice problem to be addressed as a section of their bi-monthly meetings. The aim of this study was to develop an easily understandable, user friendly vocational rehabilitation report writing protocol with standardised report templates for the type of reports most commonly written in public healthcare. The reports identified to be most commonly written in Gauteng's public healthcare and for which templates were needed were: Functional capacity evaluation (FCE) reports; Policy and Procedure on Incapacity Leave and Ill-health Retirement for public service employee's (PILIR) reports; Disability Grant (DG) reports; Vocational Rehabilitation Screening Tool reports and medico-legal reports. The function of the report writing protocol would therefore be to: set a standard for vocational rehabilitation report writing; to standardise the format of a report; provide practical guidelines for inexperienced occupational therapists for writing vocational rehabilitation reports and thereby to enable therapists to spend less clinical time writing reports.This article forms part of a PhD study, the purpose of which is to transform vocational rehabilitational services in Gauteng's public health care through action research. The article aims to describe Doi: http://dx

“…Selfesteem includes self-confidence, being a part of a broader self-concept (Gecas, 1982), while self-efficacy is narrower and refers to a person's certainty with regard to his/her own capabilities and competency in task execution. The terms of "confidence", "self-confidence", "professional confidence" and "self-efficacy" were defined as "surrogate" and were used as synonyms by the researchers (Holland et al, 2012). …”

“…In addition, it is linked to the concepts of self-efficacy and self-esteem (Caprara et al, 2003;Klassen & Chiu, 2010;Peng, Schaubroeck & Xie, 2015). However, very few studies were focused on conceptualizing the term of self-confidence (Shrauger & Schohn, 1995;Holland, Middleton & Uys, 2012), and less in known about the professional self-confidence of teachers and its components. In addition, the investigation and measurement of teachers' professional self-confidence of Lithuanian, Ukrainian and Finnish teachers have not been performed before.…”

The current study reports findings of quantitative investigation of the opinions of Lithuanian, Ukrainian and Finnish teachers on their perceived professional self-confidence with a sample of 393 practicing teachers. Teachers' self-esteem, self-and collective efficacy were examined as components of teachers' professional self-confidence. Collective efficacy beliefs were measured in terms of teachers' subjective perception of efficacy of school community members, namely, the principal, colleagues, students and their parents. The results indicated that Finnish teachers have a significantly higher level of professional self-esteem, while Lithuanian teachers indicated a lower level, and Ukrainian -the lowest. There is no significant difference between self-and collective efficacy of Lithuanian and Finnish teachers, while Ukrainian teachers scored significantly lower. Consequently, Finnish teachers have the highest level of professional selfconfidence, while Lithuanian teachers have an average level, and Ukrainian teachers have the lowest. Lithuanian, Ukrainian and Finnish teachers indicated different patterns of their perceptions of the extent to which members of the school community meet their obligations.
