Golden times: Exploring the sense making derived from the practice experiences of student Occupational Therapists in India
Introduction
The World Federation of Occupational Therapists sets global standards for Occupational Therapy education providing consistency in the expectations that student Occupational Therapists will engage in at least 1,000 hours of practice education. Whilst much is written in the western dominated literature about student experiences of practice, there is a distinct lack of comparable literature within non-western cultural contexts. This study explores the phenomenon of the practice experiences of Occupational Therapy students in India. The study aims to understand how students make sense of their experiences within the Indian context, thus offering a new perspective on student learning and development and highlighting the unique nature of Occupational Therapy education and practice in India.
Methodology
Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) was the chosen methodology for this study, with 12 second and third year undergraduate students at an Indian university taking part in individual semi-structured interviews. Elements of poetic inquiry were included to support IPA through re-presentation of the student voice and presentation of researcher reflexivity. Reflexivity is embedded throughout the study to achieve transparency of the unique perspective of the white British UK based researcher.
Findings
Analysis revealed eight Group Experiential Themes: “Here in OT, everything is unique”; “Grading towards seeing the client on our own”; “Studying then applying is always resting in our mind”; We need to get the positives, also the negatives”; “Postings are really golden times”; “As a future OT, we are not working for a condition”; “I’m cherishing my thoughts and clinical practices with you, it’s nice”; “The scenarios are different in India”.
Conclusion
Despite contextual differences, the students in this study described experiences of learning and development consistent with those described in other relatable studies and published evidence regarding experiential and transformational learning. However, the community of practice to which they are introduced, composed of the academic tutors who also support their practice experiences, offers a unique consistency in structure and content. Therefore, students’ practice experiences are characterised by predictable expectations of knowledge and skills which are not seen in other studies emanating from other countries. This reflects the unique collective nature of the Indian student experience, contributing a new perspective to the knowledge base relating to student practice learning and Occupational Therapy education globally

“Ownership gets you up in the morning, but can keep you awake at night” An exploration of the development of work-related psychological ownership in early career professionals.
Included are the anonymised transcripts from this study along with the interview questions.
Studies of Psychological Ownership (PO) have captured the imagination of scholars in organisational research and beyond due to the many suggested positive outcomes which occur from feelings of “mine”. Nevertheless, the initial conceptualisation of PO has been under investigated, leaving early questions still unanswered and warranting further research. Consequently, this research aims to contribute to our understanding by exploring how PO develops in early career professionals who are entering the workplace. A qualitative methodological approach consisting of twenty-six interviews with Work Placement Students (WPS), Supervisors and Placement Development Advisors (PDA) captures a rich, detailed tapestry of PO development. To date, quantitative studies dominate PO research, and this study aims to provide some much-needed methodological diversity. Findings indicate four key conclusions. Firstly, that job-related PO can develop earlier than originally suggested, often via a building block approach with participants showing examples of task ownership within the first three months of their work placement and most demonstrating job role and project PO promptly thereafter. Secondly, conclusions were reached that for job-related PO to be quickly and successfully developed, there is a requirement for ownership permissioning via an active relational “giving and taking ownership” process. Job-related ownership was expediated through the organisational culture clearly signalling ownership expectations and the supervisor actively “giving” ownership and demonstrating trust in the individual. “Taking” ownership was demonstrated by participants in two forms; either once permissioned, the individual job crafted to continually develop job-related ownership; or if ownership was not given or permissioned, it was sometimes still taken by the incumbent. Thirdly, new outcomes from job-related PO were observed in this group of participants, including pride in their work and an increase in confidence. Nonetheless, if ownership was felt strongly, it often weighed heavily on the shoulders of participants, and this burden of ownership should not be underestimated. Given individuals are only just understanding “how work, works”, employers need to be aware of the negative implications when individuals feel they fall short of perceived personal, supervisory and organisational expectations. Consequently, there needs to be management of the potential high stress levels this weight can cause. Finally, a possible new PO target was identified in this research as career- related PO. For these young workers who have been conditioned to believe there is no job for life, the attachment to developing their career seemed exceedingly strong in some participants. This has potential to cause tension between other PO targets, such as the job role and the organisation. Career PO may become their one, consistent attachment in working life
Qualitative responses from an online survey of women who have experienced admission to NICU following a diagnosis of gestational diabetes
This dataset originates from a qualitative study exploring the experiences of mothers in the UK diagnosed with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) whose babies were admitted to Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU) at any gestation. Data were collected via a 24-item online survey distributed through social media and hosted on JISC, beginning July 28, 2023. The study addresses the emotional impact and care needs of these mothers, highlighting themes such as stress from mother-baby separation, lack of birth satisfaction, and a desire for better education and involvement in care. Ethical approval was granted by Bournemouth University
