Measuring work styles: Towards an understanding of the dynamic components of the theory of work adjustment

Work styles are an important yet largely unexplored component of the theory of work adjustment (TWA), describing a dynamic component of how individuals maintain and adjust fit with their work environment. The active work style (AWS) scale is the first attempt to develop a specific self-report measure of work styles suitable for longitudinal research. Results from three studies support Dawis and Lofquist's (1984) proposed four factor structure, but these factors are related through a second-order factor describing a person's generalised level of work activity and effort across time. The AWS scale demonstrated good evidence for reliability and validity, and strong measurement invariance across time signifying its suitability for longitudinal research. In line with expectations, overall work style was positively related to conscientiousness and work engagement yet unrelated to stress. When controlling for these variables, AWS was positively related to demands–abilities fit, but not needs–supplies fit. Limitations and possibilities for future research are also discussed.     

Theoretical trajectories: Dreams and dreaming from Freud to Bion

This paper aims at comparing Freud's and Bion's conceptual models on dreams and dreaming. Beyond both authors’ shared disposition vis‐à‐vis problems posed by knowledge, a critical gap opens regarding their differing clinical practices. It is hypothesized that their ideas do not belong to irreconcilable paradigms, but that there are continuities besides discontinuities more frequently highlighted between Freudian statements on psychic functioning – described in his theory on dreams – and Bion's findings in his development of both the original theory and the connections between dreaming and thinking. Firstly, Freud's and Bion's epistemological sources are examined as well as their creative use and historical environment. Then certain general theoretical and clinical issues are considered concerning their theories on dreams, the evolution of their ideas and corresponding clinical contexts. In a third section, their confluences and dissimilarities are dealt with, including clinical vignettes belonging to the authors to illustrate their interpretative modes of working. This is meant to show both an implicit theoretical–clinical complementarity and the fact that, though their routes bifurcate about the function of dreams, there remain connecting paths. Lastly, the final remarks review certain issues that have frequently been controversial between these lines of thought.     

医务社会工作介入的灵性视角：理论、实践与展望

灵性健康被学者视为所有健康层面中最深沉、最核心的部分,可以支持和影响其他的健康层面。不过,在当前中国的医务社会工作实践中,灵性资源相对匮乏,还没有得到应有的重视。在不同历史时期,医务社会工作中的灵性视角有着多层次、多维度的丰富内涵。在医务社会工作实践中,灵性视角的运用体现在非线性的介入策略、丰富的实务技术,重视服务对象的生命意义问题。灵性视角具有独特的意义和价值,与医务社会工作有较强的契合性。在医务社会工作实务、研究和教育中,需要加强对灵性视角的理解和自觉应用。

     

新中国成立初期针灸推广实施路径与历史经验研究——以中央人民政府卫生部针灸疗法实验所为中心

新中国成立初期,在统一战线和发挥中医作用的要求下,针灸推广作为一项卫生工作被提上日程。中央人民政府卫生部针灸疗法实验所率先开展这项工作,开创了“理论学习+临床实习”的短期人才培训模式,在国内部分地区有计划、有组织地训练了一批针灸师资力量,并尝试通过实验研究为针灸推广提供科学理论支持。针灸疗法实验所推广针灸的工作为今后针灸推广在全国范围内进一步开展提供了可靠的人才培养模式,积累了宝贵经验,也是过渡时期中医力量参与新中国卫生事业建设的典型例证。

     

医务社会工作对医护联盟信任关系提升的支持研究

选取江苏省某医院的癌症幸存者、严重心脑血管疾病患者（术后）作为研究对象,采用医疗保健联盟问卷、医学面对方式、创伤后成长量表进行统计学分析,共发放问卷165份。结果显示,医护联盟在性别和年龄两个方面差异具有统计学意义（P＜0.05）。医护联盟与面对、创伤后成长呈显著正相关,屈服与医护联盟、面对呈显著负相关。且87.2%的重症患者对医护联盟的信任呈不满意状态。从医务社会工作的角度出发,探讨影响患者对于医护联盟的信任度的因素并提供建议。
