Using Simulation and Critical Thinking in Speech-Language Pathology: A University Case Study

Abstract Education is changing. Virtual learning is now a common occurrence. Along with this change, more and more virtual learning tools are being used in the educational setting. The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) has recognized this change and has modified certification standards to include clinical simulation experiences in graduate speech-language training programs. Along with this modification, critical thinking skills are an expected goal, not only in face-to-face experiences, but also in simulation experiences. Educators need to meet this expectation to ensure that future speech-language pathologists are fully prepared to make sound decisions within the clinical setting. Educators may benefit from the following suggestions in regards to the use of critical thinking skills within a clinical simulation experience

If at First You Don\u27t Succeed : Blacksheer, Menefee & Stein, A Second Appraisal

Processing large collections can present a challenge to archivists. When a large collection consists of case files from a law firm, issues can arise that few archivists have experience in managing. Despite the special concerns that must be addressed in managing a large collection of legal records, archivists have a strong interest in these collections because of the historical relevance of cases the firms handle or particular clients the firms represent

Rebates and Reward Programs: Conflicting Drivers

Rebate programs and customer reward programs have evolved almost side by side within the hospitality, tourism, services and retailing sectors. Interestingly, they both share a common theme of delaying rewards for consumers. In each case consumers are motivated to purchase a good or service contingent upon a reward that is delayed until a later time. At present there has been little research that examines how these programs function together and whether when implemented in tandem that they might actually be in conflict. An online survey was completed by 68 members of a shopping blog that asked about their participation and satisfaction with various rebate and reward programs. Data revealed a strong positive relationship between rebate proneness and various deal-seeking shopping behaviors, while a negative relationship was found between rebate usage and loyalty variables. We suggest that these parallel programs may actually be in conflict with each other and that practitioners must carefully manage these programs to avoid converting their loyal customers into deal seekers

Factors Influencing Transitional Care Seeking Behaviors of African Americans Living with Sickle Cell

Sickle cell (SC) is an inherited blood disorder that affects millions globally and approximately 100,000 people in the United States. SC causes excruciating pain and organ damage. This qualitative study was conducted to examine the factors influencing the decision-making process of African American diagnosed with SC regarding maintaining continuity of care. This qualitative study was conducted to understand how perceived susceptibility and severity, perceived benefits versus barriers, sense of threats, cues of action, and self-efficacy influence the transitional care-seeking behaviors of African Americans diagnosed with SC in the rural Mississippi Delta. The health belief model was the theoretical framework used to underpin this study with a phenomenological research design. Data were collected through semi structured interviews with 15 participants, who were between ages 18 and 61, diagnosed with SC, and who resided in the rural Mississippi Delta. The themes emerged from the data was the majority of the participants kept all medical appointment, traveled long distance to receive specialty healthcare, missed appointments, and etc. Microsoft Excell Spreadsheet was used as the coding technique to code and analyze the data collected. The study findings confirm that additional research is needed to understand better the lived experiences of African American adults with SC, the need for specialty healthcare providers to meet the unmet medical needs of this population. The findings from this study have potential implications for positive social change that include helping the medical community better understand the barriers associated with this phenomenon, which may help improve the QOL for this population
