Being a young volunteer provides an opportunity for volunteers to build stronger awareness of social issues, such as the fulfilment of equal rights for persons with disabilities. For young volunteers, participation in volunteerism can form strong characters. This research attempts to describe the forms of strength of character in young volunteers for persons with disabilities and their development. Data collection methods used were Online Survey (Study 1) and Nominal Group Technique and Focus Group Discussion (Study 2). Both studies involved young volunteers in communities and organizations with disabilities in Malang Regency and Kota aged between 18-30 years (Study 1 with N = 59 people and Study 2 with N = 6 people). From the research, it is found that the character strength becomes the modality of participation as a volunteer and develops in the process of involvement of young volunteers for persons with disabilities.[Aktivitas sebagai relawan muda menyediakan kesempatan bagi pelakunya untuk membangun kesadaran yang lebih kuat terkait dengan isu-isu sosial, termasuk kesadaran terkait pemenuhan kesetaraan hak bagi penyandang disabilitas. Bagi para relawan muda, partisipasi dalam aktivitas berbasis kesukarelawanan dapat membentuk beberapa kekuatan karakter, antara lain kekuatan karakter yang dicetuskan oleh Peterson & Seligman (2004). Penelitian ini berusaha menggambarkan bentuk-bentuk kekuatan karakter dalam diri relawan-relawan muda bagi penyandang disabilitas dan perkembangannya. Metode pengumpulan data yang digunakan adalah Online Survey (Study 1) dan Nominal Group Technique serta Focus Group Discussion (Study 2). Kedua study tersebut melibatkan relawan muda di komunitas dan organisasi penyandang disabilitas kabupaten dan kota Malang berusia antara 18 - 30 tahun. (Studi 1, N= 59 orang dan Studi 2, N= 6 orang).  Dari penelitian ini didapatkan gambaran kekuatan karakter yang menjadi modalitas partisipasi sebagai relawan dan berkembang dalam proses keterlibatan para relawan muda bagi penyandang disabilitas.]

Introduction: Community First Response (CFR) is an important intervention for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) in many countries. CFR entails the mobilization of volunteers by the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) to respond to OHCAs in their vicinity. These volunteers include lay-people and professionals (e.g. physicians, fire-fighters). CFR can increase rates of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) or defibrillation performed prior to EMS arrival. However, its impact on additional outcomes (e.g. survival, cognitive function) requires further study. This research aimed to identify the most important CFR data to collect and analyze, as well as the most important uses of CFR data. Methods: This study used the Nominal Group Technique: a structured consensus process where key stakeholders develop a set of prioritized recommendations. There were 16 participants, including CFR volunteers, an OHCA survivor, researchers, clinicians, EMS personnel, and policy-makers. They completed an online survey to generate lists of the most important (1) CFR data to collect and analyze and (2) uses of CFR data. They then attended a virtual meeting where they discussed the survey results in groups before voting for their top ten priorities from each list. They also identified barriers to CFR data collection. Results: The top ten CFR data to collect and analyze included volunteer response time, interventions performed by volunteers, time of emergency, time of CPR initiation, individuals who performed CPR, and the mental and physical effects of being a volunteer. The top ten uses of CFR data included providing feedback to volunteers, increasing bystander participation in resuscitation, improving volunteer training, measuring CFR effectiveness, and encouraging inter-operability with the EMS. Barriers to data collection included time constraints, prioritization of patient care, and limited training. Conclusions: This study established priorities for the collection, analysis, and use of CFR data in consultation with key stakeholders. These findings have important implications for both CFR research and practice. In particular, they can be used to improve the efficiency, consistency, and utility of CFR data collection and to build evidence for this intervention.

TRIAGE, or Technique for Research of Information by Animation of a Group of Experts, is an inductive and structured method for collecting information that aims to obtain a group consensus. The goal of this technique is to provide quality informative material quickly and efficiently to enable decision-making or to develop more sophisticated survey tools. TRIAGE both distinguishes itself from, and complements, the main group techniques used in evaluation up until now. These are the Delphi technique, the Nominal Group Technique (NGT) and the focus group (Delbecq, Van de Ven & Gustafson, 1975). The definition, the context for use as well as the different parts of the usual process of TRIAGE technique (recruiting of participants, individual production phase, collective production phase with visual support, validation of results) will firstly be presented then compared to these advocated in the Delphi, NGT and focus group techniques. Also, examples of TRIAGE being applied in different evaluation contexts, such as the development of measurement instruments and the evaluation of health programs, will be presented. These examples will illustrate the richness, the flexibility and the potential of this technique as an assessment tool. Finally, the strengths and shortcomings of TRIAGE will be discussed.

Abstract Background: The use of indigenous food (IF) such as green leafy vegetables and fruits in rural communities has been the main source of food despite being replaced by food high in sugar and fats. Early Childhood Development (ECD) centres are uniquely positioned for positive influence to healthy eating of children. The aim of this study was for ECD stakeholders to co-create an IF diet for children under five in ECD centres.Method: A sequential explanatory mixed method design was employed. We conducted focus group discussion with stakeholders employing the community-based participatory research (CBPR) approach and the nominal group technique ranking method to co-create to an acceptable indigenous food diet for children. Data was analyzed using both qualitative and quantitative methods. A thematic approach to qualitative data analysis with a coding framework guided by Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (intervention characteristics, inner setting, outer setting, characteristics of individuals involved in implementation and the implementation process) was employed to analyse focus group discussion data. Statistical analysis was employed to analyze quantitative data collected through surveys.Results: Study participants included ECD stakeholders (ECD managers, social workers and dieticians) aged 34-52. Participants identified Ditokomane, Oranges, Mabele soft porridge, Dithotse and Dinawa as components of an IF that are suitable and acceptable for children under five years in ECD centres. Conclusion: ECD stakeholders co-created an IF diet to be implemented in ECD centres for children under five. Stakeholders are of the view that IF diet will have more health benefits on children than the current menu that is being used.

Abstract Background: Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) are considered the gold standard research design for assessing the efficacy of health care treatments and are essential for improving knowledge and outcomes. However, the challenges of running RCTs in the alcohol addiction field are rarely discussed. The Nominal Group Technique (NGT) is a method designed to encourage contributions and elicit agreement on what to prioritise. This paper aims to identify challenges of alcohol addiction RCTs and solutions to these challenges using the NGT.Method: Six researchers from the Addictions Department, King’s College London, experienced in running alcohol addiction trials as trial managers, principal investigators and chief investigators, took part in a two-round decision conference, which involved impartial facilitation, on-the-spot modelling and interactive group discussion according to the NGT. The data generated from the first session was viewed and refined in the second session to create a priority list of challenges and solutions for future alcohol addiction RCTs.Results: The model produced a range of challenges when conducting alcohol addiction RCTs and solutions, which were rated according to priority by experts. After refinement of the model, these were categorised into five themes including: Staff, Recruitment, Follow ups, Governance and Funding. Each of these contained challenges and solutions when conducting alcohol addiction RCTs.Conclusion: The challenges to running alcohol addiction RCTs were discussed by a group experienced in this area in order to promote discussion and solutions. The process of sharing experiences and ideas allows for furthering knowledge to improve the running of alcohol addiction RCTs. There were some challenges that were discussed where no solutions were known or thought of. Current research activity should be more open to discussing and sharing challenges and possible solutions to improve research outcomes.

What is it about the teaching-research nexus that inspires engineering undergraduates to want more and become researchers themselves? In this study, we sought to discover more about the influences on current PhD students’ choices to embark on higher degrees by research in various fields in engineering in an Australian research-intensive university. An online survey and follow-up focus group discussion revealed that these students are driven primarily by a genuine interest in research itself, rather than other factors such as career advancement (although this too, plays a role). While this is not particularly surprising, what did become apparent was the specific undergraduate experiences that most strongly influenced their decision to undertake research degrees, including enjoying doing project-based work, being exposed to lecturers who were passionate about their own research, and working on a vacation research scholarship. Further analysis reveals that the weighting of various influences changes according to whether the students are local Australian graduates or international PhD candidates.

Stigmatization towards persons with disabilities is so pervasive in society that it directly weakens their position in various fields unlike common other people in various fields. Although Indonesia has enacted Law No. 8 of 2016 concerning Persons with Disabilities, efforts to protect and fulfil the rights of persons with disabilities must continue to be actively encouraged. This study examines one of the strategic steps being taken to protect and fulfil the rights of persons with disabilities, the development of a Village Inclusion Policy. Aside from contributing to the fulfilment of the rights of persons with disabilities, particularly in rural areas, this policy is also expected to accelerate the improvement of welfare through increased accessibility of, and participation in, rural development. The study begins by reviewing the implementation of regulations and policies related to the protection and fulfilment of the rights of persons with disabilities in general. It then analyzes the possibility of further developing the Inclusion Village Policy, drawing on a policy review, focus group discussion, and in-depth interviews with relevant stakeholders. The results of this study illustrate the strategic value of the policy as well as the various factors that encourage or inhibit the fulfilment of the rights of persons with disabilities.

BACKGROUND Focus group discussion is a qualitative approach done to obtain an insight into social issues. This approach aims to gain data from a selected group of individuals rather than a random selection of participants. Youth were chosen as informants in this study because most youths engage with new media, the Internet, and social media compared to other age groups. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this paper is to examine the knowledge of cybercrime and to obtain an understanding of cyber safety practices among youth using a qualitative approach. METHODS A focus group discussion with a total of 20 informants was conducted among youth. These informants were divided into three groups. Discussions were audio-recorded, transcribed, and analyzed using thematic analysis. RESULTS These discussions shows there were few themes of knowledge of cybercrime emerged, such as phishing, cyberbullying, hacking, scam, and forgery; and themes of cyber safety practices, such as software downloading, password usage, privacy setting information sharing, safe online shopping website, safe online banking website, preventing cyberbullying, and cybercrime report agencies have emerged. CONCLUSIONS Most of the youth have a knowledge and understanding on cybercrime and cyber safety. This create awareness among youth and educated them to become a safe Internet user. Further study emphasizing on awareness of youth on the Internet usage will be recommended. CLINICALTRIAL Not applicable
