In order to do so, we have analyzed how these subjects build their own self , starting from narratives they had written themselves. We have also investigated the inter-discourses that surfaced throughout the study. The corpus was composed of twenty-one (21) narratives, produced voluntarily along the writing workshops given by the researcher. This work took into consideration not only methodological-theoretical background of the Critical Discourse studies (Fairclough, 2001, 2003), but also reflections and debates concerning identity (Hall, 2002; Bauman, 2005; Moita Lopes, 2008; Pennycook, 2008), aside from the researches about repression and punishment at such regulatory institutions (Foucault, 2010; Kloch e Motta, 2008). As the general results, we could observe that the inmates do not figure themselves as victims, but as responsible for their own acts and their consequences. Besides that, such men represent the prison per se as a good locus, or an opportunity to change their lives, becoming better people. In terms of the inmates‟ identity, in a few narratives, we can see fluidity whereas in some other cases there can be seen identity fragmentation. Some of these take a turn into a negative semantic pole: murdered, drug dealer, savage. Even though they are rebuilt this way, the inmates still constitute themselves as reflexive subjects, which are open to transformation, through perception of the violations they have committed, or through the omnipresent APAC‟s discourse. / Esta pesquisa buscou discutir a construção de identidades dos recuperandos do regime fechado da Associação de Proteção e Assistência aos Condenados de Viçosa enquanto condenados em fase de real e efetiva recuperação. Para tanto, buscou-se analisar como os recuperandos constroem suas identidades tomando por base as narrativas escritas por eles. Analisou-se ainda os interdiscursos ali construídos. O corpus foi constituído de vinte e uma (21) narrativas, produzidas de forma voluntária, durante as oficinas de produção de textos ministradas pela própria pesquisadora. Este estudo levou em conta não só os pressupostos teórico-metodológicos dos estudos discursivos críticos (Fairclough, 2001, 2003), mas também reflexões e discussões em torno do conceito de identidade (Hall, 2002; Bauman, 2005; Moita Lopes, 2008; Pennycook, 2008) além dos estudos acerca da repressão e punição no cumprimento das penas (Foucault, 2010; Kloch e Motta, 2008). Como resultados gerais, observamos que os recuperandos não se colocam como vítimas, mas como responsáveis pelos seus próprios atos e suas consequências. Além disso, representam a prisão como um espaço benéfico, isto é, como uma oportunidade de mudar de vida, tornando-os pessoas melhores. No que diz respeito à identidade dos recuperandos, em algumas narrativas, observa-se a fluidez, já em outras, fragmentação identitária. Algumas identidades encontradas se resvalam para um campo semântico negativo: assassino, traficante, bicho selvagem. Embora se reconstruam desta forma, os recuperandos ainda se constituem como sujeitos reflexivos, pois se mostram abertos à transformação seja pela percepção que tem dos crimes cometidos, seja pelo discurso onipresente da APAC.

Class of 2014 Abstract / Specific Aims: The purpose of this study was to assess pharmacists’, pharmacy technicians’, and pharmacy interns’ knowledge of current Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) immunization guidelines for pregnant women. Methods: Questionnaires administered to volunteers during the Arizona Pharmacy Association (AzPA) 2013 Annual Convention and Trade Show collected data showing the volunteers’ level of knowledge about current immunization guidelines; data on professional roles (pharmacist, pharmacy intern, or pharmacy technician), years in practice, current immunization certification status and activity, and practice setting were also collected. Main Results: Questionnaires were completed by 112 volunteers, including 48 pharmacists, 25 pharmacy technicians, and 39 pharmacy interns. The overall percentage of correct answers from all participants was 33%. Pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, and pharmacy interns had correct answer percentages of 41%, 16%, and 34%, respectively. Pharmacy practitioners who were state certified to perform immunizations performed statistically significantly better than the non-certified group (44.2% correct versus 33% correct, P=0.012). Practitioners who work at a practice site that provides immunizations were compared with practitioners who do not, with results trending toward statistical significance, but falling just short (45.7% correct versus 36% correct, P=0.054). Conclusion: The general level of knowledge about CDC immunization guidelines appears to be inadequate among the volunteer group of pharmacy practitioners, possibly leading to missed opportunities for needed immunizations.

This research aimed to trace the development of psychologists as therapists within a South African context. Two distinct career levels were explored in relation to a competency model, a skills development model, and a developmental phase model of psychotherapists' professional development. Through purposive sampling five intern psychologists and six registered psychologists with at least seven years post-qualification client contact were selected according to the inclusion criteria of the study. Through semi-structured interviews, couched in the social constructionist position, the participants' experiences were thematically analysed. In addition, the researcher's own personal journey of developing as a psychotherapist was reflected upon. The current research study found that a number of aspects fostered the development of psychotherapists. Across the two career levels the life experiences of participants particularly featured events that were personally wounding or placed the participant in the helper role. The theoretical orientation(s) of participants were voiced as influential in their development, yet the ability to adjust their theoretical orientation to clients' needs was of overriding importance. Participants emphasised forming a strong therapeutic relationship with clients as the centrepiece of psychotherapy and depicted the therapeutic process using diverse metaphors. No key differences in use of metaphors emerged between intern and established psychologists. Catalysts for professional growth included personal therapy, "unforgettable cases", group supervision and, in the case of established psychologists, continuing professional development workshops. xiii Shifts in competency were recognised by intern psychologists as they gained more experience, namely, dissolution of naivety, a decrease in anxiety regarding their clinical work, a greater flexibility in the therapeutic process, a decreased sense of inappropriate responsibility for clients' progress, and an ongoing process of negotiating the interface of their personal and professional lives. Established psychologists spoke of having gained more confidence through their years of practice and yet experienced moments of anxiety which they found fostered humility. Limitations of the study and potential future research directions were outlined.

Background: It is known that medical doctors suffer from increased rates of depression with medical interns being most at risk. Despite this, little is known about the prevalence of depression in interns in South Africa. Aim: This study aimed to assess the prevalence of depressive symptoms in interns. Setting: All 91 interns employed at Groote Schuur Hospital, a tertiary hospital in the Western Cape, from January 2017 until May 2018, were invited to participate in the study. Methods: The study was a cross-sectional study. Consenting interns were required to complete a demographic and related questionnaire and the Beck Depression Inventory 2 (BDI-2). Results: Fifty-four (59.3%) of all invited interns participated in the study. Twenty-two interns (41%) reported a Beck Depression Inventory 2 score of 14 or greater. Features associated with a BDI-2 score of 14 or greater, included female gender, a previous diagnosis of depression, seeing a psychotherapist and previously being on antidepressant medication during internship. Other features also significantly associated with higher BDI-2 scores included, suicidal ideation, thoughts of emigration, wanting to leave Medicine and using substances to cope. The most significant associated feature of high BDI-2 scores was feeling “burnt out”. Conclusion: Interns had a higher prevalence of depressive symptoms when compared to the general population. The feeling of being ‘burnout' was the most significant factor associated with the severity of depressive symptoms. It is imperative that the mental health of both medical students and newly qualified doctors be prioritised, supported and monitored.

Wellness literature reported that the current focus on academic achievement and high-stakes testing has sacrificed wellness in students, and ?there is a strong need and a public outcry to promote wellness in public schools? (Myers & Sweeney, 2005a, p. 228). Also, ?the promotion of schoolwide well-being will enrich the academic experience of students and families. In addition, school staff members who are aware and knowledgeable of wellness concepts may be more likely to apply healthy strategies in the curriculum and throughout the school? (Myers & Sweeney, p. 232). Effective teacher research supported the Student Teacher Assessment Instrument as a viable measure of teacher effectiveness. The purpose of this research was to determine whether holistic wellness as defined by creative self, coping self, social self, essential self, and physical self as measured by the 5F-Wel can be used to predict teacher effectiveness as measured by the STAI. The research question proposed for this study was: Is there a relationship between wellness as measured by the Five Factor Wellness Inventory and effective teaching as measured by the STAI? The research design was correlational. A convenience sample of voluntary participants among the 54 teacher interns during the spring 2006 semester from Mississippi State University-Meridian campus was used. The predictor variables were the second order factor scores on the 5F-Wel. These factors are creative self, coping self, social self, essential self, and physical self. The dependent variable was the overall formative score on the STAI. The results obtained show the predictor variables included in the multiple linear regression analysis did not predict teacher effectiveness as measured by the STAI at an accuracy greater than chance. A statistically significant relationship between the predictor variables and dependent variable was not found. Specifically, wellness as measured by the second order factors on the 5F-Wel did not predict teacher effectiveness as measured by the STAI in this study. Recommendations included: (a) using similar methodology in other studies and (b) replicating the study with future cohorts of student interns from Mississippi State University-Meridian Campus.
