Improving Outcomes for Adults with ASD by Targeting Meaningful Skill Acquisition Goals: A Review of the Literature and Available Assessments and Curricula
AbstractOutcomes in adulthood for individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are poor in every area assessed (e.g., postsecondary education, employment, living arrangements, health and safety). As such, it is critical that interventions target the best outcomes across the lifespan and improve the overall quality of life. Given that targeting meaningful skill-acquisition goals can help affect positive changes in these outcomes, the intention of this paper was to conduct a systematic literature review of the research examining what has been done to improve the quality of goals written by educational and behavi...

Socioeconomic determinants of COVID-19 vaccine acceptance
AbstractThe aim of the paper is to evaluate the relative importance of the set of socioeconomic characteristics of population on collective decision on COVID-19 vaccine acceptance. We apply cross-section OLS methods to the municipal-level non-survey data for 145 municipalities in Serbia, on the COVID-19 vaccination rate and socioeconomic characteristics of the population, to evaluate the determinants of cross-municipal variation in vaccine uptake decision. Using the estimated coefficients from the OLS regressions, we apply the standardized beta method to evaluate the relative importance of each factor. Vaccine acceptance i...

Prevalence, perinatal outcomes and factors associated with neonatal sepsis in Nigeria
CONCLUSIONS: Neonatal sepsis remains a critical challenge in neonatal care, underscored by its high prevalence and mortality rate. The identification of maternal and neonatal risk factors underscores the importance of improved access to education and employment for women and targeted interventions in antenatal and intrapartum care.PMID:38602158 | DOI:10.1111/1471-0528.17824 (Source: BJOG : An International Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology)

Trends and regional distribution in health-related quality of life across sex and employment status: A repeated population-based cross-sectional study
CONCLUSIONS: This study suggested that the prevalence of low HRQoL levels among unemployed males was consistently high at the annual trend and regional levels. Further research considering comprehensive health determinants and multi-dimensional public health interventions is required to prevent the transition from unemployment to the deterioration of HRQoL.PMID:38604179 | DOI:10.1093/joccuh/uiae017 (Source: Journal of Occupational Health)

Despite mandated primary series, health care personnel still hesitant about COVID-19 vaccine and immunizing children
CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: Despite mandated COVID-19 vaccination, a substantial proportion of HCP remained vaccine hesitant towards adult booster doses and pediatric COVID-19 vaccination. While provider recommendation has been the mainstay of combatting COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy, a gap exists between HCP-despite clinical or administrative status-and the ability to communicate the need for vaccination in a healthcare setting. While previous studies describe the HCP vaccine mandate as a positive force to overcome vaccine hesitancy, we have found that despite a mandate, there is still substantial COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy, ...

The positive side of stress: Investigating the impact of challenge stressors on innovative behavior in higher education
Acta Psychol (Amst). 2024 Apr 9;246:104255. doi: 10.1016/j.actpsy.2024.104255. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTStress can be a double-edged sword. Given the intricacy of the innovation process, the link between job stress and individual innovation behavior remains uncertain. To clarify the relationship between challenge stressors and the innovative behavior of higher education teachers, this study was based on the conservation of resources (COR) theory and adopted the structural equation modeling method to explore the impact of challenge stressors on the innovative behavior of higher education teachers and reveal its influen...

The Measurement of Precarious Work and Market Conditions: Insights from the COVID-19 Disruption on Sample Selection
Work Occup. 2023 Feb;50(1):22-59. doi: 10.1177/07308884221127636.ABSTRACTThe precarious work construct combines employment instability and employment-contingent outcomes. Yet, I argue that confining the scope of the investigation to employed individuals creates a sample selection that disguises the heterogeneous nature of employment instability. The COVID-19 skyrocketing unemployment rate provides both a compelling motivation and a unique opportunity to revisit the construct of precarious work. Using pre-COVID and COVID-19 era data of the working-age population in Israel, the results demonstrate that by pushing less stable...

Do Workers Speak Up When Feeling Job Insecure? Examining Workers' Response to Precarity During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Work Occup. 2023 Feb;50(1):97-129. doi: 10.1177/07308884221128481.ABSTRACTThe COVID-19 pandemic inflicted unprecedented precarity upon workers, including concerns about job insecurity. We examine whether workers respond to job insecurity with voice, and assess the role of unions, managers, and employment arrangements in this relationship. Analyses of an original 2020 survey representative of Illinois and Michigan workers show that job insecurity is not significantly associated with voice. Further, while we find that union membership and confidence in organized labor are positively associated with voice, insecure workers ar...

Precarious Employment and Well-Being: Insights from the COVID-19 Pandemic
Work Occup. 2023 Feb;50(1):3-21. doi: 10.1177/07308884221143063.ABSTRACTWhile precarious employment is not a new concept, it has been brought to the center of scholarly and public discourse worldwide by the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic. This essay delineates how precarious employment shapes well-being and situates that relationship in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. The essay also provides an overview of how the nine articles boldly investigate how these two layers of global risk-precarious employment and the pandemic-interact to shape individuals' well-being. In addition to advancing theoretical and empirical kno...

Office procedures for older adults by physician associates and nurse practitioners
CONCLUSIONS: Overall, PAs performed more skin and musculoskeletal procedures than NPs, and NPs performed more procedures in the other 7 procedure clusters than PAs. PA and NP employment growth does not fully explain these observations. We suggest that outpatient procedural task-shifting activity presents an area for further research.PMID:38603536 | DOI:10.37765/ajmc.2024.89532 (Source: The American Journal of Managed Care)
