Many sources of evidence inform clinical practice, including research findings, patients' views, and clinical experience. This article describes recent progress in developing what will be the College's first guideline, The Assessment and Management of Violence In Clinical Settings. The design of the programme acknowledges the diversity of evidence in this area, by drawing a distinction between different types of evidence. Evidence is systematically identified and its quality appraised by the Work Group, through commissioning literature reviews. Initial recommendations will be based on experimental data. The methods used to consider non-experimental data, particularly expert opinion, will be described in more detail in a later article in this series.

Having the common objective of bringing together researchers and industry practitioners to share their research findings, experiences, and new ideas as well as sharing topics of interest, the organizing committees of the 14th International Conference on Software and System Processes (ICSSP) and the 15th International Conference on Global Software Engineering (ICGSE) ceased the opportunity to explore the idea of bringing together the two communities once it was clear that the International Conference on Software Engineering and all its co-located events had to be redesigned as online events.

Research Findings

In 1999 The Library Association commissioned David Haynes Associates and Information Management Associates to investigate the extent of the use of volunteers in UK public libraries. The research also examined the roles and potential roles for volunteers, current management practice and policy. The research concluded with draft good practice guidelines on the use and management of volunteers for local authorities. This article reports on one aspect of the research findings, notably looking at how public library authorities can work with, and engage volunteers, which in turn can contribute to their overall policy of social inclusion and increased community engagement in the local delivery of services.

To the Editor.— Environmentalists use bumper stickers and other means to urge us to "think globally; act locally." The American Academy of Pediatrics could well make the same recommendations to authors who contribute to its publications. From one geographic location, we should not allow our writing to imply an ignorance of or disregard for the situations in which other child health care providers live. Whether reporting and discussing research findings or proposing practice guidelines, we should be careful to clearly define the relevant populations.

The present review examines how resources have been used in trauma-focused psychotherapy with an emphasis on their use in eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). Current practices of EMDR-trained clinicians are presented in a historical context and considering a range of contemporary approaches to ego strengthening. This article describes the use of resources as presented in the EMDR literature along with research findings. The review concludes with a call for controlled research on widely used resource-focused procedures and practice guidelines for their use in clinical applications of EMDR.

Abstract Gilead et al. offer a thoughtful and much-needed treatment of abstraction. However, it fails to build on an extensive literature on abstraction, representational diversity, neurocognition, and psychopathology that provides important constraints and alternative evidence-based conceptions. We draw on conceptions in software engineering, socio-technical systems engineering, and a neurocognitive theory with abstract representations of gist at its core, fuzzy-trace theory.

Ebp Implementation

Purpose The current investigation is a follow-up from a previous study examining child language diagnostic decision making in school-based speech-language pathologists (SLPs). The purpose of this study was to examine the SLPs' perspectives regarding the use of evidence-based practice (EBP) in their clinical work. Method Semistructured phone interviews were conducted with 25 school-based SLPs who previously participated in an earlier study by Fulcher-Rood et al. 2018). SLPs were asked questions regarding their definition of EBP, the value of research evidence, contexts in which they implement scientific literature in clinical practice, and the barriers to implementing EBP. Results SLPs' definitions of EBP differed from current definitions, in that SLPs only included the use of research findings. SLPs seem to discuss EBP as it relates to treatment and not assessment. Reported barriers to EBP implementation were insufficient time, limited funding, and restrictions from their employment setting. SLPs found it difficult to translate research findings to clinical practice. SLPs implemented external research evidence when they did not have enough clinical expertise regarding a specific client or when they needed scientific evidence to support a strategy they used. Conclusions SLPs appear to use EBP for specific reasons and not for every clinical decision they make. In addition, SLPs rely on EBP for treatment decisions and not for assessment decisions. Educational systems potentially present other challenges that need to be considered for EBP implementation. Considerations for implementation science and the research-to-practice gap are discussed.

High Flow Oxygen

Purpose Infants hospitalized for an acute respiratory illness often require the use of noninvasive respiratory support during the initial stage to improve their breathing. High flow oxygen therapy (HFOT) is becoming a more popular means of noninvasive respiratory support, often used to treat respiratory syncytial virus/bronchiolitis. These infants present with tachypnea and coughing, resulting in difficulties in coordinating sucking and swallowing. However, they are often allowed to feed orally despite having high respiratory rate, increased work of breathing and on HFOT, placing them at risk for aspiration. Feeding therapists who work with these infants have raised concerns that HFOT creates an additional risk factor for swallowing dysfunction, especially with infants who have compromised airways or other comorbidities. There is emerging literature concluding changes in pharyngeal pressures with HFOT, as well as aspiration in preterm neonates who are on nasal continuous positive airway pressure. However, there is no existing research exploring the effect of HFOT on swallowing in infants with acute respiratory illness. This discussion will present findings from literature on HFOT, oral feeding in the acutely ill infant population, and present clinical practice guidelines for safe feeding during critical care admission for acute respiratory illness. Conclusion Guidelines for safety of oral feeds for infants with acute respiratory illness on HFOT do not exist. However, providers and parents continue to want to provide oral feeds despite clinical signs of respiratory distress and coughing. To address this challenge, we initiated a process change to use clinical bedside evaluation and a “cross-systems approach” to provide recommendations for safer oral feeds while on HFOT as the infant is recovering from illness. Use of standardized feeding evaluation and protocol have improved consistency of practice within our department. However, further research is still necessary to develop clinical practice guidelines for safe oral feeding for infants on HFOT.
