Objective This descriptive study compares rates of high psychological distress and mental disorders between low-income and non-low-income populations in Canada. Methods Data were collected through the Canadian Community Health Survey – Mental Health and Well-being (CCHS 1.2), which surveyed 36 984 Canadians aged 15 or over; 17.9% (n = 6620) was classified within the low-income population using the Low Income Measure. The K-10 was used to measure psychological distress and the CIDI for assessing mental disorders. Results One out of 5 Canadians reported high psychological distress, and 1 out of 10 reported at least one of the five mental disorders surveyed or substance abuse. Women, single, separated or divorced respondents, non-immigrants and Aboriginal Canadians were more likely to report suffering from psychological distress or from mental disorders and substance abuse. Rates of reported psychological distress and of mental disorders and substance abuse were much higher in low-income populations, and these differences were statistically consistent in most of the sociodemographic strata. Conclusion This study helps determine the vulnerable groups in mental health for which prevention and promotion programs could be designed.

This qualitative descriptive study aimed to analyze the implementation of Professional Capability Strengthening (PKP) courses for undergraduate student teacher of Universitas Terbuka, living in the outermost, frontier, and disadvantaged (3T) areas in Indonesia. A sample of 65 students was selected using a purposive sampling technique from four regions, namely: Lampung, Serang, Bogor, and Mataram. A total of 8 tutors and 4 program coordinators were interviewed to triangulate the data. The results indicates that in general students are successful to complete PKP courses because they were class teachers. In addition, the support of tutors, peers, school principals, and heads of regional technical implementation units (UPTD) are important factors in facilitating the completion of student teachers’ course assignments.  During the learning process students reported some diffculties, such as limited reference books, and lack of skills in making reports and operating computers, which needs to be addressed by the academic administration. Penelitian ini dimaksudkan  untuk menganisis penyelenggaraan dan layanan matakuliah praktek Pemantapan Kemampuan Profesional (PKP) untuk mahasiswa yang berada di daerah terluar, terdepan, tertinggal (3T). Penelitian ini merupakan  penelitian deskriptif kualitatif. Populasi penelitian ini adalah mahasiswa program S1 PGSD UT di wilayah 3T di wilayah UPBJJ-UT Lampung, Serang, Bogor, dan Mataram. Sampel diambil dengan menggunakan teknik purposif sampling sebanyak  65 orang di empat UPBJJ-UT tersebut. Sebagai data pembanding 8 orang tutor dan 4 orang koordinator program diwawancarai secara mendalam. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa pada umumnya mahasiswa tidak mengalami kesulitan untuk mengikuti matakuliah PKP karena mereka adalah guru kelas. Di samping itu, dukungan tutor, teman sejawat, kepala sekolah, kepala unit pelaksana teknis daerah (UPTD) sangat membantu mahasiswa untuk menyelesaikan tugas-tugas perkuliahannya. Namun demikian, ada beberapa kendala yang dialami mahasiswa, antara lain terbatasnya buku rujukan yang dimiliki dan kurang terampil dalam membuat laporan dan mengoperasikan komputer. Kendala ini perlu mendapat perhatian dan pemecahan oleh pengelola akademik.

Purpose Against a backdrop of concerns regarding the quality and equity of the final practice-based pre-registration training year, the purpose of this paper is to examine how robust and equitable current education and training arrangements in Great Britain are in preparing newly qualified pharmacists (NQPs) for practice. Design/methodology/approach In addition to considering relevant regulator, policy and research literature, this paper presents findings from a longitudinal qualitative study that tracked 20 pharmacy trainees and their tutors during pre-registration training and early registered practice. Trainees were interviewed four times over a 12-month period; tutors were interviewed twice. Semi-structured interviews explored learning and development, work environment and support received. Interview transcripts were analysed thematically using template analysis. Findings Currently, there are no requirements tor training pre-registration tutors, or for accreditation or quality assurance of training sites. Longitudinal interview findings showed that community trainees developed knowledge of over-the-counter and less complex, medicines whereas hospital trainees learnt about specialist medicines on ward rotations. Hospital trainees received support from a range of pharmacists, overseen by their tutor and other healthcare professionals. Community trainees generally worked within a small pharmacy team, closely supervised by their tutor, who was usually the sole pharmacist. NQPs were challenged by having full responsibility and accountability as independent practitioners, without formal support mechanisms. Originality/value The variability in trainee experience and exposure across settings raises concerns over the robustness and equity of pre-registration training. The lack of formal support mechanisms post-registration may pose risks to patient safety and pharmacists’ well-being.

Teacher’s professional identity (TPI) is an essential and decisive element in the way future EY and primary teachers approach their labour. This study aims to analyse how and when student teachers build TPI and to study its relationship with personal well-being. The sample was made up of 135 students of the Faculty of Education of the University of Burgos (Spain), aged 18–44. A questionnaire elaborated ad hoc and an individual psychological well-being scale were both implemented. The results suggest that training activities, initially scheduled by the university courses, are those which most contribute to the building of a TPI; that there seem to be no differences in relation to gender and year of study in the factors which contribute to its development, regardless of whether it is rather innovative or research-oriented and that there is a relationship between types of TPI, as well as between these and the satisfaction with academic choice, and psychological well-being. Future teachers should build a solid TPI which enables them to successfully adapt to complex educational settings and encourages them to innovate. It is necessary to gradually make room for reflection from the beginning of the university training, as this could improve the future professional performance and the students’ psychological well-being.

The objective of this research was to analyze the organizational culture of a Brazilian public hospital. It is a descriptive study with quantitative approach of data, developed in a public hospital of São Paulo State, Brazil. The sample was composed by 52 nurses and 146 nursing technicians and auxiliaries. Data were collected from January to June 2011 using the Brazilian Instrument for Assessing Organizational Culture – IBACO. The analysis of the organizational values showed the existence of hierarchical rigidity and centralization of power within the institution, as well as individualism and competition, which hinders teamwork. The values concerning workers’ well-being, satisfaction and motivation were not highly valued. In regard to organizational practices, the promotion of interpersonal relationship, continuous education, and rewarding practices were not valued either. It becomes apparent that traditional models of work organization support work practices and determine the organizational culture of the hospital.
