Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to conduct a metaanalysis of diabetic intervention data found in current nursing and medical literature using Neuman's Systems Model as a framework to create a theory based review of current Adult/Family Nurse Practitioner (A/FNP) diabetic interventions. Data analysis involved several steps. First was the determination of intervention recommendations for A/FNPs for diabetes mellitus (DM). Second was the comparison of the intervention recommendations for A/FNPs to the theory literature to determine if those interventions were supported theoretically. Third w

Abstract:

There is extensive research detailing the strong link between healthcare professional wellbeing and the delivery of dignified, safe patient care. While a career as a psychological practitioner is often perceived as fulfilling, it is thought to also generate professional and personal strains which may impact on wellbeing. Paper 1 presents a systematic review examining the prevalence of burnout among practitioner psychologists and the relationship between burnout and specific personal demographic and work-related variables: age, years in service, working hours, gender and work setting.

Abstract:

This thesis considers the different forms of knowledge and ways of knowing generated through the processes and products of practitioner research from an Aristotelian relational perspective. I adopt the term 'gnoseology', which encompasses many different knowledge types, rather than the narrower, yet more commonly used term 'epistemology', and detail the development of a gnoseology framework. I use this framework to examine the understandings generated by a group of international postgraduate learners on a 10-week, intensive English for Academic Purposes course at a private UK institution as th

The aim of this thesis is to investigate the situated subjectivities of the experiences of Forest School (FS) practitioners, in their journeys from training to initial practice. The research explores the impact of FS training, environmental and socio-cultural influences upon the practitioners and how their practices adapt in context. Eight in-depth case studies of FS trainee practitioners were undertaken over a period of two years (2010-12) using multiple qualitative methods. The analysis is in three parts; on practitioner identities, approaches and contexts. The thesis contributes three new c

Abstract:

Research into the world of the only child has been dominated by the existence of the enduring stereotype of the spoilt and lonely child. This has resulted in a wide range of studies that vary in opinion and have tended to polarise the experience from a negative and damaging one, moving to a more positive and advantageous one. A literature review highlighted the dominance of quantitative methods, used to make comparisons between the personality and behaviour of only children and those with siblings. The majority of this research showed that there was very little difference between the two group

Abstract:

The scientist-practitioner model in clinical psychology is critically examined and illustrated by reference to applied research using archival data as well as survey, single-case and group design methodology. A definition of the scientist-practitioner as one who consumes and utilises research findings, and who may also undertake research is espoused and defended. It is argued that the scientist-practitioner model is an appropriate one for clinical training since, in providing practitioners with a scientific mentality, it allows for psychology's unique contribution.

Abstract:

The purpose of this work is to examine the concept or notion of policing by consent and it is important to note, at the outset, that the vast majority of the literature produced on the subject, both current and past, has concentrated on policing by consent from many different viewpoints with one quite startling omission. There does not appear to be any academic study based on the views and perceptions of it [consent] that the practitioners, the police themselves, have. In order to correct this imbalance the study therefore set out, by means of a series of semi-structured interviews, to obtain
