The Mass Media

This chapter, with examples from the mass media, outlines how the image of the police officers and prison officers is presented in party propaganda. Different ‘model’ officers are presented in ways highlighting their ‘exemplary qualities’, like their willingness to sacrifice self for public good, and emphasizing their heroic and benevolent personal characteristics. It examines how the party propaganda might affect drug detainees’ expectations of the police and prison officers in real life.

The Quadratic rank transmutation map proposed for introducing skewness and flexibility into probability models with a single parameter known as the transmuted parameter has been used by several authors and is proven to be useful. This article uses this method to add flexibility to the Lindley-Exponential distribution which results to a new continuous distribution called “transmuted Lindley-Exponential distribution”. This paper presents the definition, validation, properties, application and estimation of unknown parameters of the transmuted Lindley-Exponential distribution using the method of maximum likelihood estimation. The new distribution has been applied to a real life dataset on the survival times (in days) of 72 guinea pigs and the result gives good evidence that the transmuted Lindley-Exponential distribution is better than the Lindley-Exponential distribution, Exponential distribution and Lindley distribution based on the dataset used.

Specific Scenario

Background: Facilitation and collaboration differentiates person-centred practice (PcP) from biomedical practice. In PcP, a person-centred consultation requires clinicians to juggle three processes: facilitation, clinical reasoning and collaboration. How best to measure PcP in these processes remains a challenge.Aim: To assess the measurement of facilitation and collaboration in selected reviews of PcP instruments.Methods: Ovid Medline and Google Scholar were searched for review articles evaluating measurement instruments of patient-centredness or person-centredness in the medical consultation.Results: Six of the nine review articles were selected for analysis. Those articles considered the psychometric properties and rigour of evaluation of reviewed instruments. Mostly, the articles did not find instruments with good evidence of reliability and validity. Evaluations in South Africa rendered poor psychometric properties. Tools were often not transferable to other socio-cultural-linguistic contexts, both with and without adaptation.Conclusion: The multiplicity of measurement tools is a product of many dimensions of person-centredness, which can be approached from many perspectives and in many service scenarios inside and outside the medical consultation. Extensive research into the myriad instruments found no single valid and reliable measurement tool that can be recommended for general use. The best hope for developing one is to focus on a specific scenario, conduct a systematic literature review, combine the best items from existing tools, involve multiple disciplines and test the tool in real-life situations.
