Abstract:

A definition of the role of the midwife would be lost without advocacy, a core action of students and midwives globally. The Latin word for raising voices is ‘advocare’. The French word for lawyer is ‘advocat’. The roots of advocacy are political – but most importantly, advocacy is a verb. Something to be actively done: to support, to speak out.1 Applying this to midwifery starts with supporting families, extending to colleagues and the system itself.

Abstract:

  Advocates are one of the law enforcers in Indonesia, therefore, like other law enforcers in Indonesia, advocates in their formation must be based on special advocacy education which is usually held for 6 months. This was done because syraiah scholars and other law graduates were accepted as advocates, so this special advocacy education was held with the aim of equalizing learning related to advocacy to produce advocates who are in accordance with their functions and duties as advocates. Special education for the advocacy profession is organized by an advocacy organization where P

Abstract:

Abstract As individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) live longer and begin to outlive their parents, siblings take on greater supportive roles including advocacy. Yet, little is known about the ways in which siblings advocate with and for their brothers and sisters with IDD as well as for broad, systemic changes. In this study, we conducted four focus groups (N = 18) with siblings of individuals with IDD. We found that siblings defined and engaged in case advocacy (i.e., advocacy on behalf of their brothers and sisters with IDD) and cause advocacy (i.e., advocacy for

Although many parents report needing advocates to receive special education services for their children with disabilities, the advocacy process is largely unexplored especially in relation to school and child outcomes. The purpose of this study was to explore the special education advocacy process by conducting interviews with nine parent–advocate dyads. Findings indicate that advocates and parents agreed on the advocacy process. Participants reported that schools often responded positively to the advocate; however, some schools were confrontational and surprised. Regardless of the school’s re

Abstract:

ABSTRACT: A primary responsibility of tax professionals is to be an advocate for their clients (AICPA 2000). Prior studies have shown mixed results on how the advocate role influences tax professionals’ decision processes and outcomes (e.g., Cloyd and Spilker 1999; Davis and Mason 2003; Barrick et al. 2004; Kahle and White 2004). In this study, we consider how advocacy may be at least partially context-specific, introduce the construct of client-specific advocacy, and thoroughly examine the influence of advocacy attitudes on a number of steps in the judgment and decision-making process.

There is consensus amongst regulatory and certifying associations that the role of physician as advocate is a fundamental competency for Canadian physicians. Understanding what advocacy is and looks like in daily practice is integral to achieving this competency.

The current state of advocacy in medical education is reviewed as the starting point for exploring how best to foster the skills of physician as advocate.

I’ve worked as a children’s librarian for five years. Over the last two, I’ve served with ALSC’s Advocacy and Legislation Committee. Yet I have to admit, I am still learning the role of a librarian advocate. I’ll be honest, it often feels overwhelming, and I am not sure that feeling will ever dissipate.There is a lot to think about. From local to state and federal stakeholders, I sometimes feel my perch at the kid’s desk isn’t the place where real advocacy happens. How can I rally support for libraries at all levels? It’s not just a question for a librarian who serves on an advocacy committee.

Abstract:

Do people advocate more on behalf of their own attitudes and opinions when they feel certain or uncertain? Although considerable past research suggests that people are more likely to advocate when they feel highly certain, there also is evidence for the opposite effect—that people sometimes advocate more when they experience a loss of certainty. The current research seeks to merge these insights. Specifically, we explore the possibility that the relationship between attitude certainty and attitudinal advocacy is curvilinear. Consistent with this hypothesis, we find evidence for a J-shaped curv

Abstract:

This study examines the relationship between the level of sports activism and athletic advocacy among team sports athletes. The analysis focuses on various forms of activism, including symbolic, scholarly, grassroots, sport-based, and economic activism, and their correlation with advocacy efforts in areas such as fair play, social justice, and historical successes. The findings reveal that scholarly activism has a significant positive relationship with advocacy for fair play and social justice as well as engagement with historical successes in sports.

In this article, I discuss the experiences of young undocumented Latinas, aged between 19 and 22, in a university support and advocacy group for undocumented students. While recent research has investigated the advocacy of undocumented youth, there is a lack of attention on the experiences of undocumented women who advocate. To address this gap, I center the testimonios (testimonies) of five young undocumented women to examine their advocacy experiences. As a result of advocacy, the young women gained visibility as immigrant youth leaders, created a pipeline of support for other young undocume

Abstract:

Behaving as a child advocate during expert testimony in family court can introduce sources of bias and distortion into a clinician's conclusions and reduce the extent to which the professional appears “scientific.” However, child advocacy within the justice system can be viewed as a professional responsibility for clinicians working with youths. This article operationally defines child advocacy. It outlines theoretical parameters of acceptable advocacy during testimony that can be used by clinicians during pretrial self-assessment of their anticipated statements to the court.

Abstract:

AbstractFifty years ago, George J. Annas and Joseph Healey introduced the concept of a “patient rights advocate” in their seminal 1974 article published in the Vanderbilt Law Review. Annas expanded this vision in the ACLU Handbook, The Rights of Hospitalized Patients, later broadening its scope to all medical settings. This essay traces the evolution of patient advocacy, highlighting pivotal milestones: the advent of cancer navigators, the rise of the patient safety movement, the establishment of patient advocacy organizations, the development of Patient Advocate Offices in hospitals, and the

The study emphasizes the necessity of investigating the special education advocate process, especially in light of academic and growth results for children. It adds that many parents need advocates to get special education services for their disabled kids, but this field is yet mostly untapped. By interviewing parent-advocate pairs, the research's goal is to examine the special education advocacy procedure. The study used qualitative methods of study, specifically interviewing nine “parent-advocate “pairs. These pairs were chosen to offer a variety of points of view and knowledge about the adv

Abstract:

This paper examines the advocacy activities of 30 environmental nonprofits engaged in oil and gas policy debates. Because 501(c)(3) organizations are restricted or prohibited from engaging in certain types of advocacy, the literature typically considers 501(c)(3) organizations service providers and 501(c)(4)s advocacy organizations. This study looks at whether this dichotomy holds among a group of organizations that actively advocates and examines the implications of 501(c) status. Data come from surveys of organizations active in hydraulic fracturing policy debates, along with organizations’

Abstract:

Many parents struggle to advocate for their children with disabilities to obtain services at school. Subsequently, parents may turn to special education advocates to help ensure that their children receive appropriate services. However, it is unclear how special education advocates support families and secure services for children with disabilities. Before determining whether special education advocacy is effective, the advocacy process used by special education advocates needs to be understood. In this study, 33 special education advocates participated in individual interviews about advocacy.
