Stress is a complex construct that is related to resilience and general health starting in childhood. Despite its importance for student health and well-being, there are few measures of stress designed for school-based applications. In this study, we developed and initially validated a Stress Indicators Scale using five samples of teachers,…

Uncertainty is a feature of healthcare practice. In recognition of this, multiple health profession governing bodies identify uncertainty tolerance as a healthcare graduate attribute and evaluate uncertainty tolerance within new graduate cohorts. While it is clear that uncertainty tolerance development for healthcare learners is valued, gaps…

Effective teamwork and collaboration among health professionals is a well-recognized strategy toward enhancing patient outcomes. However, there is a lack of understanding on how to best prepare health professionals for collaborative practice. The aim of this research is to gain a better understanding of how graduates of five health professions…

Background: Full-Service Community Schools seek to integrate health, well-being, and academic services in schools by partnering with local community services. Establishing and maintaining community partnerships represents a significant operational challenge for schools. However, limited literature exists that explores the process of establishing a…

The current legislations and guidelines on modern biotechnology worldwide tend to focus on scientific risk assessment without prioritizing the ethical aspect. The nature of ethical principles which is descriptive and difficult to measure quantitatively limit the application of ethical principle as an assessment tool. The objective of this paper…

Although college student-athletes traditionally experience more stressors than their campus peers due to the demands of their dual roles, the additional presence of ADHD often compounds their stress. This article takes a closer look at the current state of student-athlete mental health and the function of a counseling center specifically for…

Objective: To examine the utility of a novel sexual risk index (SRI) to better use National College Health Assessment (NCHA) sexual health-related questions. Methods: The first phase included discussions, testing, and recoding of the initial set of items. In the second phase, a correlation analysis was run; items were systematically removed to…

Notwithstanding advances in pedagogical research, college professors have used few evidence-based (EB) practices to enhance student learning. Concurrently, healthcare professionals have been incorporating EB research into practice for years. The key to successful adoption of EB practices in real world settings is effective implementation.…

Background: ADHD often overlaps with pediatric asthma, leading to difficulties in treatment and management in clinical work.

AI-powered predictive systems have high margins of error. However, data visualisations of algorithmic systems in education and other social fields tend to visualise certainty, thus invisibilising the underlying approximations and uncertainties of the algorithmic systems and the social settings in which these systems operate. This paper draws on a…
