Outcomes of a Community of Practice on Quebec Speech Language Pathologists' Voice Assessment Practices and Professional Identity

In a context where different protocols for recommended practices in clinical voice assessment exist, while there are gaps in the literature regarding the evidence base supporting assessment procedures and measures, clinicians from regions where a strong community holding expertise in clinical and scientific voice practices lack can struggle to confidently develop their voice assessment practices. In an effort to improve voice assessment practices and strengthen professional identity among speech-language pathologists in Quebec, Canada, a community of practice (CoP) was established, with the aim of promoting knowledge sharing, implementing change in clinical practice, and improving professional identity. Thirty-nine participants took part in the CoP activities conducted over a four-month period, including virtual meetings and in-person workshops. Participants had a high rate of attendance (> 74% participation rate in virtual meetings), and were highly satisfied with their participation and intended to remain involved after the project's end. Statistically significant changes in voice assessment practices were observed post-CoP, regarding probability of performing assessments (p < .001), and perceived importance of assessment for evaluative purposes (p <.001), as well as improvements in assessment specific confidence, specifically for procedure of auditory-perceptual assessment (p < .001) and purpose of aerodynamic assessment (p = .05). Moreover, there was an increase in professional identity post-CoP (p < .001) and participants felt they made significant learnings. The present study highlighted the need to involve SLPs in future research to identify assessments that are relevant to the specific evaluative objectives of SLPs working with voice, and suggests CoPs are an efficient tool for that purpose.

En un contexto en el que existen diferentes protocolos para las prácticas recomendadas en la evaluación vocal clínica, y en el que se presentan vacíos en la literatura respecto a la base de evidencia que respalda los procedimientos y medidas de evaluación, los profesionales de regiones donde no hay una comunidad sólida con experiencia en prácticas vocales clínicas y científicas pueden enfrentar dificultades para desarrollar con confianza sus prácticas de evaluación vocal. Con el propósito de mejorar las prácticas de evaluación vocal y fortalecer la identidad profesional entre los logopedas de Quebec, Canadá, se estableció una comunidad de práctica (CdP). Esta tenía como objetivo fomentar el intercambio de conocimientos, implementar cambios en la práctica clínica y mejorar la identidad profesional. Un total de treinta y nueve participantes se involucraron en las actividades de la CdP, llevadas a cabo durante un período de cuatro meses, que incluyeron reuniones virtuales y talleres presenciales. Los participantes tuvieron una alta tasa de asistencia (> 74% de participación en las reuniones virtuales) y expresaron un alto grado de satisfacción con su participación, manifestando su intención de continuar involucrados después de la finalización del proyecto. Se observaron cambios estadísticamente significativos en las prácticas de evaluación vocal posterior a la CdP, en lo que respecta a la probabilidad de llevar a cabo evaluaciones (p < .001) y la percepción de la importancia de la evaluación con fines evaluativos (p < .001), así como mejoras en la confianza específica en la evaluación, particularmente en el procedimiento de evaluación auditivo-perceptual (p < .001) y el propósito de la evaluación aerodinámica (p = .05). Además, se registró un aumento en la identidad profesional posterior a la CdP (p < .001) y los participantes sintieron que obtuvieron aprendizajes significativos. El presente estudio destacó la necesidad de involucrar a los logopedas en investigaciones futuras, para identificar evaluaciones pertinentes a los objetivos evaluativos específicos de los logopedas que trabajan con la voz, y sugiere que las CdP son una herramienta eficiente con ese propósito.

Conhecimento sobre identidade profissional docente na educação física / Knowledge about teacher professional identity in physical education / Conocimiento sobre identidad profesional del docente en educación física

Objetivou-se investigar o conhecimento produzido sobre a Identidade Profissional de professores de Educação Física (EF). Foi realizada uma revisão integrativa nas bases de dados entre 2015 a 2021, onde obtivemos vinte artigos: onze nacionais e nove internacionais. Verificamos que a identidade profissional é construída na temporalidade e nos espaços de vida para melhor compreender as múltiplas identidades possíveis encontradas na trajetória profissional. Embora as vivências anteriores à formação inicial tenham sido consideradas, foi possível observar que na formação inicial a identidade profissional se estabelece especialmente com o aprofundamento das vivências nos estágios. Além disso, a consolidação deste processo identitário permanece no campo profissional, individualmente e coletivamente, desde o ingresso na carreira e na formação continuada, porém, é um processo inacabado e em constante transformação.(AU)

Identidade profissional do psicólogo judiciário: um estudo sobre configurações identitárias / Forensic psychologist´s professional identity: a study about identity configurations / Identidad profesional del psicólogo forense: un estudio sobre configuraciones de identidad

Este estudo objetivou descrever a identidade profissional de psicólogos judiciários, partindo do cenário contemporâneo da Psicologia Jurídica brasileira, contexto que envolve crises e conflitos sobre a forma de responder a atribuições e demandas do campo legal. Pela perspectiva da sociologia das identidades profissionais de Claude Dubar, sustenta-se a hipótese de que a identidade profissional do psicólogo judiciário depende de estratégias de compatibilização entre o pertencimento à categoria e as atribuições legais e institucionais. Participaram 95 psicólogos do quadro ativo do Tribunal de Justiça de São Paulo, que responderam a um formulário online sobre a percepção de si e do campo de atuação. Os dados foram submetidos à análise de conteúdo. Os resultados indicam a saliência da avaliação psicológica e da interdisciplinaridade na identidade profissional, e as rupturas identitárias diante de práticas verificatórias. Tais achados apontam a necessidade de participação da categoria na construção de suas atribuições; e dificuldades para o exercício das funções por limitações à autonomia profissional.(AU)

Qualitative Research on the Influence of Narrative Medicine Practice on the Professional Identity of Postgraduates Majoring in Traditional Chinese Medicine / 中国医学伦理学

【Objective:】 To explore the practice experience of narrative medicine among postgraduates majoring in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and its impact on their professional identity. 【Methods:】 A total of 56 first-year master’s and doctoral degree students majoring in TCM at a university were selected through purposive sampling for a 16-hour narrative medicine course training and 4 weeks of clinical practice in narrative medicine. They were asked to complete an open-ended writing assignment on their practical experience after this clinical practice. Subsequently, the topic analysis method in qualitative research was used to analyze their writing contents. 【Results:】 After learning narrative medicine, the students’ practical experience in clinical practice included 3 major themes and 9 sub-themes: wide application range (all diagnosis and treatment stages, multiple departments, and disease types), integration of multiple communication skills and diagnosis and treatment methods (communication skills, psychological techniques, reflection, and TCM humanistic diagnosis and treatment methods), and increasing professional identity (achieving mutual healing, building the harmonious doctor-patient relationship, and enhancing confidence in TCM). The themes were further integrated to form the relationship between the narrative medical practice cycle and professional identity, and presented in the form of charts. 【Conclusion:】 By exploring the narrative medical practice experience among TCM postgraduates, it was found that through the use of multiple methods and techniques in the entire diagnosis and treatment stage and multi-disciplinary diseases, it is possible to harmonize the doctor-patient relationship, achieve mutual healing, and enhance confidence in TCM. These internalized recognition and sense of achievement contributes to improving professional identity, which may provide new ideas for the development of professional identity for medical students in China and the exploration of the localization of narrative medical practice.

Medical Residents, the Group and the Formation of Professional Identity During the COVID-19 Pandemic / Médicos residentes, o grupo e a formação da identidade profissional durante a pandemia do COVID-19

Abstract Residency is still considered the gold standard for quality medical training, and acquiring a professional identity as a specialist is one of its central elements. Residents obtain this identity through both the educational environment and direct interaction with peers and supervisors. However, modifications in health care and educational routines during the recent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic have significantly impaired these channels. This study is part of a qualitative research project to analyze professional identity formation in a medical residency program in obstetrics and gynecology at a public hospital in southern Brazil. The authors conducted 28 semi-structured interviews with medical residents and preceptors, as well as a focus group with the residents, which was recorded, transcribed, and analyzed in an effort to construct major analytical categories. Restricted movement and physical contact have forced the use of alternative means of interpersonal interaction, such as communication through social media or instant messaging applications. This has also affected educational activities, such as morning rounds, lectures, and seminars. These changes represent a significant impact, especially in Brazil, where physical proximity is an important cultural feature, even in the work and school environments. We speculate that this new type of virtual interaction will also affect the formation of professional identity among obstetrician-gynecologists. These findings suggest that medical residency programs should be attentive to changes in resident training to ensure that the specialist profile and the expected skills, which are consolidated over many years, are not lost.

Resumo A residência médica ainda é considerada o padrão-ouro para a formação médica de qualidade, sendo o processo de construção da identidade profissional de um médico especialista um de seus elementos centrais. Os residentes obtêm essa identidade, entre outros fatores, por meio do ambiente educacional e da interação direta com colegas e supervisores. No entanto, as modificações nas rotinas assistenciais e educacionais durante a recente pandemia de coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) prejudicaram significativamente esses canais. Este estudo faz parte de um projeto de pesquisa qualitativa com o objetivo de analisar a formação da identidade profissional em um programa de residência médica em ginecologia e obstetrícia em um hospital público do sul do Brasil. Os autores realizaram 28 entrevistas semiestruturadas com médicos residentes e preceptores, bem como um grupo focal com residentes. Tanto as entrevistas como as reuniões com o grupo focal foram gravadas, transcritas e analisadas no esforço de construir categorias analíticas. Foi identificado que o movimento restrito e o contato físico forçaram o uso de meios alternativos de interação interpessoal, como a comunicação por meio de mídias sociais ou aplicativos de mensagens instantâneas. Isso também afetou as atividades educacionais, como as rounds, palestras e seminários. Essas mudanças representam um impacto significativo, principalmente no Brasil, onde a proximidade física é uma importante característica cultural, mesmo em ambientes de trabalho e de estudo. Conjectura-se que esse novo tipo de interação virtual também afetará a formação da identidade profissional entre os ginecologistas-obstetras. Esses achados sugerem que os programas de residência médica devem estar atentos às mudanças na formação dos residentes para garantir que o perfil do especialista e as competências esperadas, consolidadas ao longo de muitos anos, não sejam perdidos.

Objective:To investigate the current status of professional identity among the clinical medical postgraduates and its correlation with mentoring function and professional competency, so as to provide reference for optimizing the training mode of clinical medicine postgraduates.Methods:A questionnaire survey was conducted among 217 academic and professional full-time postgraduates from Batch 2016 to 2018 majoring in clinical medicine in Peking University Health Science Center in 2019. The contents included four aspects: basic information, preliminary questionnaire of professional identity, mentoring function scale and professional competency. SPSS 26.0 was used for t test, one-way ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis H test, and Pearson correlation analysis to analyze the status of professional identity and its correlation with professional competency and mentoring function. Results:Both professional and academic clinical medicine postgraduates had high scores of the overall level and four factors, and there was no statistical significance in the scores between the two groups ( P >0.05). There were significant differences in the overall level, behavior and appropriateness of professional identity among different grades of professional postgraduates ( P<0.05). Correlation study showed that the professional identity was significantly positively correlated with the total score of professional competency and mentoring function ( P<0.001). Further interview survey showed that the role of supervisor and employment prospects also played an important role in the elevation of professional identity. Conclusion:The overall degree of professional identity of academic and professional postgraduates is good and closely related to professional competency and mentoring function and for professional postgraduates, the overall level of professional identity of senior students is better. It is suggested that besides focusing on their professional competency, it is necessary to further optimize the employment policy of academic postgraduates and the training of tutors for professional postgraduates.

There were few cohort studies or intervention studies.Conclusions:With the development of the nursing profession, the cultivation of professional identity of nursing students has more important significance for the stable development of the industry. Domestic scholars have gradually increased the professional identity research of male nursing students, but overall, the research strength was scattered and the research content was single. The research area is relatively narrow. It is recommended to increase relevant research to provide scientific basis for the training of male nursing talents in my country.

The mediating effect of academic self-efficacy on professional identity and learning engagement in college students / 中华行为医学与脑科学杂志

Objective:To investigate the relationship between professional identification and learning engagement, as well as the role of academic self-efficacy as a mediating factor between ideological and political education majors.Methods:Totally 441 students majoring in ideological and political education were collected from four local universities by cluster sampling method, and professional identity scale, learning engagement scale and academic self-efficacy scale were used for investigation. SPSS 26.0 was used for descriptive analysis and correlation analysis, and AMOS 24.0 was used to conduct structural equation modeling and Bootstrap mediating effect test.Results:The scores of professional identity, academic self-efficacy and learning engagement were (3.854±0.515), (3.496±0.426) and (4.900±0.899). Professional identity was positively correlated with learning engagement ( r=0.658, P<0.01), professional identity was positively correlated with academic self-efficacy ( r=0.735, P<0.01), academic self-efficacy was positively correlated with learning engagement ( r=0.756, P<0.01). Academic self-efficacy played partial mediating role in the relationship between professional identity and learning engagement(effect value=0.266, 95% CI=0.178-0.404), accounted for 63.64% of the total effect. Conclusion:Professional identity can directly affect college students' learning engagement, and also indirectly affect learning engagement through academic self-efficacy.

Mediating effect of resilience in workplace bullying and professional identity among nursing interns / 中国职业医学

@#Objective To explore the effect of resilience in the relationship between workplace bullying （WPB） and professional identity among nursing interns. Methods A total of 292 nursing interns from six grade A hospitals were selected as the research subjects using convenience sampling method. The WPB，professional identity，resilience，perceived stress and coping styles were investigated by the Negative Acts Questionnaire Revised， the Professional Identity Questionnaire for nurse students，the Chinese version of 10-item Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale，the Chinese Perceived Stress Scale and the Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire. Results The scores of WPB and perceived stress were negatively correlated with those of professional identity，resilience，and positive coping styles（PCS）［Spearman correlation coefficients（rS ）were −0.354，−0.316，−0.388，−0.488，−0.636 and −0.478，all P<0.01］. There was a negative correlation between negative coping styles（NCS）and professional identity（rS =−0.117，P=0.046）. The scores of resilience and professional identity were positively correlated with that of PCS（rS were 0.539 and 0.482，both P<0.01）. There was a positive correlation between resilience and professional identity （rS =0.567，P<0.01）. The scores of WPB and perceived stress were positively correlated with that of NCS（rS were 0.350 and 0.281，both P<0.01）. There was a positive correlation between WPB and perceived stress（rS =0.419，P<0.01）. The scores of resilience and PCS were not correlated with that of NCS（both P>0.05）. Resilience played a mediating role between WPB and professional identity. The interaction between WPB and NCS could predict the professional identity and resilience of nursing interns（standardized regression coefficient were 0.31 and 0.17，both P<0.01）. Conclusion WPB can directly or indirectly affect nursing interns’professional identity through resilience，and NCS plays a moderating role on the direct effect of WPB and professional identity，and the relationship between WPB and resilience.

Professional identity construction: becoming and being a dietician in Brazil, France and Spain / Construção da identidade profissional: tornar-se e ser nutricionista no Brasil, na França e na Espanha / La construcción de la identidad profesional: volverse y ser dietista en Brasil, Francia y España

Professional socialization is a complex process that leads to the professional identity. While several studies have focused on the professional identity of physicians and nurses, few studies analyzed this aspect among dieticians. Furthermore, those studies did not consider the influence of sociocultural norms. The aim of this study was to analyze the construction of the professional identity of Brazilian, French and Spanish dieticians. A qualitative methodology based on semi-structured interviews was set up. The construction of the professional identity of Brazilian, French and Spanish dieticians is characterized by the incorporation of skills, knowledge and roles. This process was marked by transformations, mainly related to food and body. Dieticians from the three nationalities shared similar professional values grounded in a medical-nutritional rationale. However, their professional identity also resulted from a continuous process of interaction with patients, peers and the socio-cultural environment. (AU)

A socialização profissional é um processo complexo que leva à identidade profissional. Embora vários estudos tenham enfocado a identidade profissional de médicos/as e enfermeiros/as, poucos estudos analisaram esse aspecto entre nutricionistas. Além disso, esses estudos não consideraram a influência das normas socioculturais. O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar a construção da identidade profissional de nutricionistas brasileiras, francesas e espanholas. Foi usada uma metodologia qualitativa baseada em entrevistas semiestruturadas. A construção da identidade profissional das nutricionistas brasileiras, francesas e espanholas foi caracterizada pela incorporação de competências, conhecimentos e papéis. Esse processo foi marcado por transformações, principalmente relacionado à alimentação e ao corpo. As nutricionistas das três nacionalidades compartilhavam valores profissionais semelhantes, baseados em uma lógica médico-nutricional. No entanto, sua identidade profissional também resultou de um processo contínuo de interação com pacientes, pares e o contexto sociocultural. (AU)

"Patrão é patrão, empregado é empregado": identidade profissional de domésticas / "Boss is boss, employee is employee": professional identity of domestic workers

O trabalho doméstico vem passando por mudanças, principalmente nos países em desenvolvimento. No Brasil, as mudanças no trabalho doméstico têm sido impulsionadas pela Emenda Constitucional nº 72, de 2013. Esta pesquisa objetivou discutir a identidade profissional e as relações de trabalho de empregadas domésticas brasileiras a partir dos discursos das próprias trabalhadoras. Assim, foram realizadas dez entrevistas em profundidade, sendo cinco com empregadas mensalistas e cinco com diaristas da Região Metropolitana do Rio de Janeiro. As entrevistas foram gravadas em áudio e transcritas. Seguindo o método de análise dos núcleos de sentido, foram identificados dois núcleos centrais: ingresso na profissão e identidade profissional; e ambiguidade na relação empregada-empregadora ou empregador. Os discursos das trabalhadoras domésticas sinalizaram uma inserção precoce no mundo do trabalho e uma identidade profissional tênue, com relações dúbias entre patroas e empregadas e dúvidas quanto ao reconhecimento e valorização por parte dos empregadores. Os resultados são discutidos à luz da literatura da área e do contexto atual

Domestic work has been undergoing changes, especially in developing countries. In Brazil, such changes have been driven by the Constitutional Amendment no. 72, from 2013. This research discusses the professional identity and labor relations of Brazilian domestic workers, based on ten in-depth interviews conducted with five full-time and five part-time domestic workers, in the Metropolitan Region of Rio de Janeiro. After being recorded and transcribed, the interviews underwent core meaning analysis, which identified two core meanings: entry into the profession entry and professional identity; and employee-employer relationship ambiguity. The interviews revealed an early entry in the labor market and a tenuous professional identity, marked by dubious relations between employers and employees and doubts regarding the recognition and valuation by employers. Results are discussed based on specialized literature and the current context

Identidade profissional de assistentes sociais no IFSC: entre o assalariamento e o direcionamento social / Professional identity of social workers at IFSC: between salary and social direction / Identidad profesional de asistentes sociales en IFSC: entre el trabajo asalariado y la dirección social

Resumo Este artigo apresenta uma análise sobre o trabalho dos/as assistentes sociais no Instituto Federal de Educação de Santa Catarina, em sua relação com o processo de construção da identidade profissional. A partir do final dos anos 2000, observa-se uma expansão no número de assistentes sociais atuando na política educacional, com a constituição do Programa Nacional de Assistência Estudantil e da Rede Federal de Educação Profissional, Científica e Tecnológica, requisitado, principalmente, para a execução das ações de assistência estudantil. As demandas, requisições e condições de trabalho são elementos que corroboram a construção do projeto ético-político da profissão, e refletir sobre tais aspectos possibilita compreender a realidade para além da sua aparência imediata. Este estudo, fundamentado no materialismo histórico-dialético, desenvolveu-se com base na pesquisa bibliográfica e documental e na pesquisa de campo, utilizando-se do questionário para o levantamento de dados. Os resultados apontam limites e possibilidades ao trabalho dos/as assistentes sociais no Instituto, demonstrando que a construção da identidade profissional ocorre em meio à contradição posta entre as determinações do trabalho assalariado, ao qual os/as assistentes sociais estão sujeitos, e o direcionamento social que se busca imprimir ao exercício profissional, tendo em vista a materialização do projeto profissional.

Abstract This article presents an analysis of the work of social workers at the Federal Institute of Education of Santa Catarina, in relation to the process of building professional identity. From the end of the 2000s onwards, there was an expansion in the number of social workers working in educational policy, with the constitution of the National Student Assistance Program and the Federal Network of Professional, Scientific and Technological Education, mainly required for the implementation of student assistance actions. The demands, requisitions and working conditions are elements that support the construction of the ethical-political project of the profession, and reflecting on such aspects makes it possible to understand reality beyond its immediate appearance. This study, based on historical-dialectical materialism, was developed based on bibliographic and documental research and on field research, using the questionnaire to collect data. The results point out limits and possibilities to the work of social workers at the Institute, demonstrating that the construction of professional identity occurs in the midst of the contradiction between the determinations of salaried work, to which social workers are subject, and the social direction that is sought to be imprinted on professional practice, with a view to materializing the professional project.

Resumen Este artículo presenta un análisis del trabajo de los/las asistentes sociales del Instituto Federal de Educación de Santa Catarina, en su relación con el proceso de construcción de la identidad profesional. A partir de fines de la década de 2000, hubo una expansión en el número de asistentes sociales actuando en la política educativa, con la constitución del Programa Nacional de Atención al Estudiante y la Red Federal de Educación Profesional, Científica y Tecnológica, requerido principalmente para la implementación de las acciones de asistencia estudiantil. Las exigencias, requisiciones y condiciones de trabajo son elementos que corroboran la construcción del proyecto ético-político de la profesión, y reflexionar sobre tales aspectos posibilita comprender la realidad más allá de su apariencia inmediata. Este estudio, basado en el materialismo histórico-dialéctico, se desarrolló a partir de una investigación bibliográfica, documental y de campo, utilizando el cuestionario para la recolección de datos. Los resultados apuntan límites y posibilidades al trabajo de los asistentes sociales en el Instituto, demostrando que la construcción de la identidad profesional ocurre en medio de la contradicción planteada entre las determinaciones del trabajo asalariado, al que están sujetos los asistentes sociales, y la dirección social que se busca imprimir en el ejercicio profesional, teniendo en mente la materialización del proyecto profesional.
