“…These are shown in Table 1 by type of coroners' verdict and gender. The age/sex distribution in the sample was similar to other studies reporting suicides in the North of England [21,22]. There were more men in the sample than women; 30 men (mean age 39, 95% CI 35-43) and 18 women (mean age 49, 95% CI 43-56).…”

Homicides and Suicides by Mentally Ill People

In 1992, following consultations with the Royal College of Psychiatrists, the confidential inquiry into homicides and suicides by mentally ill people was set up by the United Kingdom Department of Health. The inquiry collects detailed information on contact with secondary mental health services by means of a questionnaire from clinical audit or information departments from these organisations. In Leeds, however, a wider range of available records including Coroner Reports, police, social, educational, and all health records were consulted. This resulted in a series of health/life event histories of suicide cases that had been in contact with psychiatric services. This paper presents an exploratory analysis of these data. The Leeds suicide cases formed less than one-third of all suicide cases in Leeds; the remainder had not come into contact with psychiatric services. This proportion is consistent with the U.K. national figures. Records show that 46% of the sample's first contact with the psychiatric services was through a first failed attempted suicide. Other results include the role of prescribed drugs in repeat suicide attempts, education levels, and employment stability. It is concluded that the link between mental illness and suicide is questionable. Life event history type data on all suicide cases is desperately required to study suicide as a social process.

“…Subjective rating scales are used quite frequently in almost every aspect of research and practice for the assessment of workload, fatigue, usability, annoyance and comfort, and lesser known qualities such as urgency and presence [15]. The biased data can impede the actual need of target user and inferences obtained may not reveal the true nature of the problem leading to poor acceptances to target community.…”

Rethinking self-reported measure in subjective evaluation of assistive technology

IntroductionSubjective evaluation of assistive technology solutions often has access to limited number of representative users in the rating process. Sometimes non-representative users (e.g. a blind folded person as blind) act as subject to increase the number. Most of the case same data collection process, self-reported measures (e.g. questioners) are used for both [1] groups of users. In the data collection process, representative users need to express their subjective opinion to data collector (facilitator). This can introduce cognitive bias and may hinder the relatively unbiased data collection. The intermediary assistance causes direct or indirect influence to the rating process and makes the rating process slower and less objective. It also affects the "privacy" and may have issues, such as 'Forer effect' [2] or 'Hawthorne effect' [3]. Figure 1 shows a schematic diagram of subjective data collection. A representative subject is participating in the rating process with the help of a 'facilitator' . In step one, the facilitator may ask a question to the subject with subject's preferred medium of instruction (audio, Braille etc.). The subject may understand the question (step 2) and answer with a subjective score (step 3) or may not able to answer due to medium or other problem. If subject answer the question, the next step of the facilitator is to record the score on behalf of subject (step 4) or repeat the question (if necessary changing the medium). AbstractSelf-reporting is used as a subjective measure of usability study of technology solutions. In assistive technology research, more than often the 'a coordinator' directly assist the 'subject' in the scoring process. This makes the rating process slower and also introduces bias, such as, 'Forer effect' and/or 'Hawthorne' effect. To address these issues we propose to use technology mediated interaction between the 'subject' and 'the coordinator' in evaluating assistive technology solutions. The goal is to combine both the qualitative and quantitative scores to create a relatively unbiased rating system. Empirical studies were performed on two different datasets in order to illustrate the utility of the proposed approach. It was observed that, the proposed hybrid rating is relatively unbiased for usability study.

“…By reflectively writing the chosen critical experience, students might become more aware of their own values, emotions, reactions and the personal impact of the event at hand. In health care, the particular strengths of this approach is its potential for encouraging reflection on the emotions arising from complicated care situations and thus supporting the identification and subsequent handling of any emotional burden experienced 13,14 …”

“…In health care, the particular strengths of this approach is its potential for encouraging reflection on the emotions arising from complicated care situations and thus supporting the identification and subsequent handling of any emotional burden experienced. 13,14 It is essential that nursing students' critical thinking and reflection skills are challenged during their education enabling them to make an informed decision in rapidly changing health-care situations with clients from various cultural backgrounds. It is also essential that students learn to recognize and articulate the feelings and emotions connected with diverse cultural encounters.…”

This paper describes the enhancement of cultural competence through trans-Atlantic rural community experiences of European and Canadian nursing students using critical incident technique (CIT) as the students' reflective writing method. The data generated from 48 students' recordings about 134 critical incidents over a 2-year project were analysed by qualitative content analysis. Five main learning categories were identified as: cross-cultural ethical issues; cultural and social differences; health-care inequalities; population health concerns; and personal and professional awareness. Four emergent cultural perspectives for the health sector that became apparent from the reflections were: health promotion realm; sensitivity to social and cultural aspects of people's lives; channels between the health sector and society; cultural language and stories of local people. CIT was successfully used to foster European and Canadian undergraduate students' cultural reflections resulting in considerations and suggestions for future endeavours to enhance cultural competence in nursing education.
