Intervenção reflexiva: instrumento de formação continuada do educador especial

O presente artigo busca demonstrar a ocorrência de mudanças na prática pedagógica de uma professora, durante o período em que se fez a reflexão teórico-metodológica sobre essa prática, à luz de proposições da Psicologia sócio-histórica. Foram realizados 20 encontros reflexivos com uma professora da Educação Especial, a partir da análise de gravações das situações ocorridas em sala de aula. As discussões promovidas compreendiam aspectos relacionados ao processo de ensino e de aprendizagem na atividade docente. Foram examinadas as locuções verbais da professora e observaram-se indícios de mudança no que se refere ao foco de atenção, quando ela analisa seus problemas pedagógicos, na consideração da multideterminação dos problemas de ensino e aprendizagem, na concepção de aluno, no método de ensino, no estabelecimento e valorização da relação professor-aluno e da interação de alunos. Os resultados obtidos sinalizaram que a interação reflexiva mostrou-se um instrumento útil para a formação continuada de professores.

Mise à l’essai et évaluation qualitative d’une intervention inspirée de la pédagogie narrative destinée aux infirmières soignant des personnes âgées en état confusionnel aigu

Les personnes âgées occupent une proportion importante des lits dans les centres hospitaliers de soins de courte durée québécois et leur présence est en augmentation. Parmi ces personnes, plusieurs présentent un état confusionnel aigu (ÉCA), voire un délirium, au cours de leur hospitalisation. Les soins infirmiers qu’elles requièrent sont complexes et les études portant sur la formation continue des infirmières tiennent peu compte de cette réalité. Les approches utilisées dans les études sont surtout centrées sur l’acquisition de connaissances et d’habiletés techniques et négligent les aspects créatifs, relationnels, critiques, réflexifs et éthiques essentiels à une prestation de soins infirmiers de qualité. On y retrouve également peu d’informations sur la conception de l’intervention éducative et sur son évaluation. C’est dans cette perspective que le but de l’étude était de mettre à l’essai et d’évaluer qualitativement le processus et les résultats d’une intervention éducative auprès d’infirmières soignant des personnes âgées hospitalisées en ÉCA. Plus particulièrement, ce sont les conditions facilitant et contraignant l’intervention, les aspects les plus utiles pour la pratique, les différents savoirs exprimés et les résultats de soins perçus par les participantes qui étaient recherchés. C’est en s’inspirant de la pédagogie narrative de Diekelmann (2001) et des savoirs infirmiers de Chinn et Kramer (2008) que l’intervention a été conçue et évaluée. La description d’expériences de soins vécues par les infirmières et la création d’un environnement d’apprentissage favorisant l’interprétation, en groupe, de ces expériences à l’aide d’informations théoriques et empiriques caractérisent la pédagogie narrative à la base de cette intervention. Pour atteindre le but, une étude de cas a été retenue. La stratégie d’échantillonnage par choix raisonné a permis de sélectionner des participantes travaillant sur les trois quarts de travail, ayant différents niveaux de formation et une expérience comme infirmière variant de huit mois à 36 ans, dont l’âge variait de 23 à 64 ans. L’échantillon, composé de 15 infirmières soignant fréquemment des personnes en ÉCA et travaillant sur des unités de soins chirurgicaux cardiologiques et orthopédiques, était réparti dans trois groupes égaux de cinq participantes. L’intervention éducative comprenait quatre journées de formation offertes à intervalle de trois semaines pour une durée totale de 12 semaines. Au cours de chacune de ces journées, les participantes devaient effectuer un travail écrit réflexif concernant une situation de soins vécue avec une personne en ÉCA et, par la suite, partager, interpréter et s'interroger sur ces situations en faisant des liens avec des informations théoriques et empiriques sur l’ÉCA dans le cadre d’un atelier de groupe. Une triangulation de méthodes de collecte de données, incluant des notes de terrain de l’investigatrice, les travaux réflexifs des participantes, des questionnaires complétés par les participantes après chaque journée de formation et une entrevue individuelle avec chaque participante réalisée par une intervieweuse externe à la fin de l’intervention, a permis de décrire la mise à l’essai de l’intervention et d’évaluer qualitativement son processus et ses résultats. Une analyse de contenu des données qualitatives intra et inter participante a été effectuée. La mise à l’essai de l’intervention a mis en évidence l’importance de tenir compte des besoins variés des participantes et d’ajuster l’intervention éducative d’un groupe à l’autre, notamment eu égard aux contenus théoriques et empiriques sur l’ECA. L’évaluation du processus souligne que l’intervention a été facilitée par les attitudes et la diversité des expériences des participantes, ainsi que par l’utilisation de situations de soins réelles permettant d’intégrer la théorie dans la pratique. L’accès à de nouveaux outils d’évaluation des personnes en ÉCA a été perçu particulièrement utile par les participantes. Quant à l’évaluation des résultats, elle a permis de rendre visibles de nombreux savoirs empiriques, éthiques et esthétiques et certains savoirs personnels et émancipatoires exprimés par les participantes. Les participantes ont, entre autres, réalisé des évaluations plus approfondies des personnes en ÉCA, ont réduit ou évité les mesures de contrôle physiques des personnes atteintes et ont impliqué davantage les familles dans les soins. L’évaluation a aussi permis de décrire certains résultats perçus par les participantes sur le bien-être physique et psychologique des personnes soignées et sur les familles. Les personnes en ECA étaient, entre autres, rassurées, plus calmes et soulagées et les familles moins inquiètes et davantage impliquées dans les soins. Les résultats de l’étude mettent en évidence l’applicabilité d’une intervention éducative narrative basée sur un cadre de référence en sciences infirmières et son utilité pour la formation continue dans les milieux de soins. L’étude ouvre la porte à des possibilités de transfert de l’intervention à d’autres populations d’infirmières soignant des clientèles ayant des besoins complexes, notamment en gériatrie, en oncologie ou en soins palliatifs. Des études visant à évaluer l’intervention auprès d’un échantillon plus important et à explorer ses effets sur les personnes soignées et leurs familles sont proposées.

Die Implementation einer Intervention zur Veränderung des Selbstkonzepts im Sportunterricht

Bei Studien zur Selbstkonzeptentwicklung fehlt meist der Hinweis auf die Programmumsetzung oder Implementation. Diesem Defizit der Implementationskontrolle nimmt sich die vorliegende Studie an und befasst sich mit der Messung und Erklärung der Implementationshäufigkeit im Rahmen einer Intervention zu Selbstkonzept förderndem Sportunterricht (NLehrer = 16, NSchüler = 309). Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass Lehrpersonen eine individuumsorientierte, reflexive Sportvermittlung im Sportunterricht einsetzen. Die Implementationshäufigkeit der Lehrpersonen hängt von deren Berufserfahrung ab. Eine häufigere Implementation geht bei Schülerinnen und Schülern mit einer stärkeren Veränderung des Körperselbstwerts, jedoch nicht des sportbezogenen Fähigkeitsselbstkonzepts, einher.

Die Implementation einer Intervention zur Veränderung des Selbstkonzepts im Sportunterricht

Im letzten Jahrzehnt haben sich diverse Forschungsgruppen der Selbstkonzeptentwicklung im Sportunterricht angenommen, allerdings bei Interventionsstudien meist ohne Hinweis auf die Implementationsgenauigkeit. Diesem auch in anderen Bereichen der Unterrichtswissenschaft vorhandene Defizit der Implementationskontrolle und -forschung nimmt sich die vorliegende Studie an und befasst sich mit der Messung und Erklärung von Implementation im Rahmen einer Intervention zu Selbstkonzept förderndem Sportunterricht. Die Stichprobe der zehnwöchigen Intervention (quasi-experimentelle Längsschnittstudie) besteht aus Sportlehrpersonen (N = 16, Alter: M = 32.5) der 5. Primarklasse sowie ihren Schüler(inne)n (N = 304, Alter: M = 11.9). Vor der Intervention wurden die Lehrpersonen in einer halbtägigen Schulung in eine individuumsorientierte, reflexive Sportvermittlung eingeführt. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass Lehrpersonen Interventionen implementieren, wenn bei der vorausgehenden Lehrpersonenschulung flankierende Massnahmen getroffen werden. Eine grössere Implementationsgenauigkeit geht mit einer stärkeren Veränderung des Körperselbstwerts, jedoch nicht des sportbezogenen Fähigkeitsselbstkonzepts, der Schüler(innen) einher. Die Implementationsgenauigkeit der Lehrpersonen hängt von deren Berufserfahrung ab. Diese Ergebnisse entsprechen bisherigen Erkenntnissen, verdeutlichen die Relevanz einer individuumsorientierten, reflexiven Sportvermittlung zur Selbstkonzeptförderung und leisten einen wesentlichen Beitrag zur Implementations- und Selbstkonzeptforschung im (Sport-) Unterricht.

Involuntary reflexive pelvic floor muscle training in addition to standard training versus standard training alone for women with stress urinary incontinence: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial

BACKGROUND Pelvic floor muscle training is effective and recommended as first-line therapy for female patients with stress urinary incontinence. However, standard pelvic floor physiotherapy concentrates on voluntary contractions even though the situations provoking stress urinary incontinence (for example, sneezing, coughing, running) require involuntary fast reflexive pelvic floor muscle contractions. Training procedures for involuntary reflexive muscle contractions are widely implemented in rehabilitation and sports but not yet in pelvic floor rehabilitation. Therefore, the research group developed a training protocol including standard physiotherapy and in addition focused on involuntary reflexive pelvic floor muscle contractions. METHODS/DESIGN The aim of the planned study is to compare this newly developed physiotherapy program (experimental group) and the standard physiotherapy program (control group) regarding their effect on stress urinary incontinence. The working hypothesis is that the experimental group focusing on involuntary reflexive muscle contractions will have a higher improvement of continence measured by the International Consultation on Incontinence Modular Questionnaire Urinary Incontinence (short form), and - regarding secondary and tertiary outcomes - higher pelvic floor muscle activity during stress urinary incontinence provoking activities, better pad-test results, higher quality of life scores (International Consultation on Incontinence Modular Questionnaire) and higher intravaginal muscle strength (digitally tested) from before to after the intervention phase. This study is designed as a prospective, triple-blinded (participant, investigator, outcome assessor), randomized controlled trial with two physiotherapy intervention groups with a 6-month follow-up including 48 stress urinary incontinent women per group. For both groups the intervention will last 16 weeks and will include 9 personal physiotherapy consultations and 78 short home training sessions (weeks 1-5 3x/week, 3x/day; weeks 6-16 3x/week, 1x/day). Thereafter both groups will continue with home training sessions (3x/week, 1x/day) until the 6-month follow-up. To compare the primary outcome, International Consultation on Incontinence Modular Questionnaire (short form) between and within the two groups at ten time points (before intervention, physiotherapy sessions 2-9, after intervention) ANOVA models for longitudinal data will be applied. DISCUSSION This study closes a gap, as involuntary reflexive pelvic floor muscle training has not yet been included in stress urinary incontinence physiotherapy, and if shown successful could be implemented in clinical practice immediately.

A reflexive course for Masters students to understand and plan their own continuing professional development

Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is seen as a vital part of a professional engineer’s career, by professional engineering institutions as well as individual engineers. Factors such as ever-changing workforce requirements and rapid technological change have resulted in engineers no longer being able to rely just on the skills they learnt at university or can pick up on the job; they must undergo a structured professional development with clear objectives to develop further professional knowledge, values and skills. This paper presents a course developed for students undertaking a Master of Engineering or Master of Project Management at the University of Queensland. This course was specifically designed to help students plan their continuing professional development, while developing professional skills such as communication, ethical reasoning, critical judgement and the need for sustainable development. The course utilised a work integrated learning pedagogy applied within a formal learning environment, and followed the competency based chartered membership program of Engineers Australia, the peak professional body of engineers in Australia. The course was developed and analysed using an action learning approach. The main research question was “Can extra teaching and learning activities be developed that will simulate workplace learning?” The students continually assessed and reflected upon their current competencies, skills and abilities, and planed for the future attainment of specific competencies which they identified as important to their future careers. Various evaluation methods, including surveys before and after the course, were used to evaluate the action learning intervention. It was found that the assessment developed for the course was one of the most important factors, not only in driving student learning, as is widely accepted, but also in changing the students’ understandings and acceptance of the need for continuous professional development. The students also felt that the knowledge, values and skills they developed would be beneficial for their future careers, as they were developed within the context of their own professional development, rather than to just get through the course. © 2005, American Society for Engineering Education

The Biopsychosocial Spiritual Model Applied To The Treatment Of women With Breast Cancer, Through Rime Intervention (relaxation, mental Images, Spirituality).

This postdoctoral study on the application of the RIME intervention in women that had undergone mastectomy and were in treatment, aimed to promote psychospiritual and social transformations to improve the quality of life, self-esteem and hope. A total of 28 women participated and were randomized into two groups. Brief Psychotherapy (PB) (average of six sessions) was administered in the Control Group, and RIME (three sessions) and BP (average of five sessions) were applied in the RIME Group. The quantitative results indicated a significant improvement (38.3%) in the Perception of Quality of Life after RIME according to the WHOQOL, compared both to the BP of the Control Group (12.5%), and the BP of the RIME Group (16.2%). There was a significant improvement in Self-esteem (Rosenberg) after RIME (14.6%) compared to the BP of the Control Group (worsened 35.9%), and the BP of the RIME Group (8.3%). The improvement in well-being, considering the focus worked on (Visual Analog Scale), was significant in the RIME Group (bad to good), as well as in the Control Group (unpleasant to good). The qualitative results indicated that RIME promotes creative transformations in the intrapsychic and interpersonal dimensions, so that new meanings and/or new attitudes emerge into the consciousness. It was observed that RIME has more strength of psychic structure, ego strengthening and provides a faster transformation that BP, therefore it can be indicated for crisis treatment in the hospital environment.

Effects of an intervention in eating habits and physical activity in Japanese-Brazilian women with a high prevalence of metabolic syndrome in Bauru, São Paulo State, Brazil

We evaluated the impact of a lifestyle intervention on the cardiometabolic risk profile of women participating in the Study on Diabetes and Associated Diseases in the Japanese-Brazilian Population in Bauru. This was a non-controlled experimental study including clinical and laboratory values at baseline and after a 1-year intervention period. 401 Japanese-Brazilian women were examined (age 60.8±11.7 years), and 365 classified for metabolic syndrome (prevalence = 50.6%). Subjects with metabolic syndrome were older than those without (63.0±10.0 vs. 56.7±11.6 years, p < 0.01). After intervention, improvements in variables were found, except for C-reactive protein. Body mass index and waist circumference decreased, but adiposity reduction was more pronounced in the abdominal region (87.0±9.7 to 84.5±11.2cm, p < 0.001). Intervention-induced differences in total cholesterol, LDL, and post-challenge glucose were significant; women who lost more than 5% body weight showed a better profile than those who did not. The lifestyle intervention in Japanese-Brazilian women at high cardiometabolic risk improved anthropometric and laboratory parameters, but it is not known whether such benefits will persist and result in long-term reduction in cardiovascular events.

Methods and Participant Characteristics of a Randomized Intervention to Promote Physical Activity and Healthy Eating Among Brazilian High School Students: The Saude na Boa Project

Background: A cross-cultural, randomized study was proposed to observe the effects of a school-based intervention designed to promote physical activity and healthy eating among high school students in 2 cities from different regions in Brazil: Recife and Florianopolis. The objective of this article is to describe the methodology and subjects enrolled in the project. Methods: Ten schools from each region were matched and randomized into intervention and control conditions. A questionnaire and anthropometry were used to collect data in the first and last month of the 2006 school year. The sample (n = 2155 at baseline; 55.7% females; 49.1% in the experimental group) included students 15 to 24 years, attending nighttime classes. The intervention focused on simple environmental/organizational changes, diet and physical activity education, and personnel training. Results: The central aspects of the intervention have been implemented in all 10 intervention schools. Problems during the intervention included teachers' strikes in both sites and lack of involvement of the canteen owners in schools. Conclusions: The Saude no Boa study provides evidence that public high schools in Brazil represent an important environment for health promotion. Its design and simple measurements increase the chances of it being sustained and disseminated to similar schools in Brazil.

Effectiveness of a School-Based Intervention on Physical Activity for High School Students in Brazil: The Saude na Boa Project

Background: We evaluated the effectiveness of a school-based intervention on the promotion of physical activity among high school students in Brazil: the Saude no Boa project. Methods: A school-based, randomized trial was carried out in 2 Brazilian cities: Recife (northeast) and Florianopolis (south). Ten schools in each city were matched by size and location, and randomized into intervention or control groups. The intervention included environmental/organizational changes, physical activity education, and personnel training and engagement. Students age 15 to 24 years were evaluated at baseline and 9 months later (end of school year). Results: Although similar at baseline, after the intervention, the control group reported significantly fewer d/wk accumulating 60 minutes+ moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) in comparison with the intervention group (2.6 versus 3.3, P < .001). The prevalence of inactivity (0 days per week) rose in the control and decreased in the intervention group. The odds ratio for engaging at least once per week in physical activity associated with the intervention was 1.83 (95% CI = 1.24-2.71) in the unadjusted analysis and 1.88 (95% CI = 1.27-2.79) after controlling for gender. Conclusion: The Saude no Boa intervention was effective at reducing the prevalence of physical inactivity. The possibility of expanding the intervention to other locations should be considered.
