This paper reported on the use of active learning and relevance-building strategies to maintain student engagement in a multidisciplinary allied health communication skills course at an Australian university. Students (N = 736) completed an engagement survey during the first and final lecture. While most degree programs reported no difference in engagement across semester, nursing/paramedic students reported a significant decrease in student engagement. A perceived lack of disciplinary relevance may account for student disengagement in this group, illustrating the challenge of delivering an authentic learning experience whilst engaging students from diverse degree programs.

Using a sample of 59 couples the well-documented association between attachment insecurity and relationship satisfaction was replicated. I then tested whether this association was mediated by attributions for hypothetical behaviour for a real partner and a hypothetical potential partner. Attributions for real partner behaviour did mediate between insecure attachment and relationship satisfaction, but not attributions for a potential partner. It was further hypothesised that an association would exist between couple communication and attachment insecurity, which would be mediated by negative attributions. Couples completed two ten-minute problem-solving discussions and participated in a video-mediated recall process, providing a measure of attributions for real events with their current partner. Results supported the hypotheses for self-reported, but not observed, commun...

Psychotherapist Carl Jung (1875–1961) believed wounded healers developed insight and resilience from their own experiences, enabling transformative interventions to occur with clients. Concerns exist that students with adverse childhood histories in SWHS may display unresolved emotional issues. This journal article explores how Jung’s interpretation of the wounded healer can be critically applied to understanding the learning needs of SWHS students with histories of abuse, neglect or other childhood adversity. The relevance of the wounded healer to SWHS education is explored in three key areas: - 1) the increased possibility of the occurrence of countertransference; - 2) the potential for vicarious traumatisation and burnout, and; - 3) personal and professional resilience displayed by SWHS students with...

This article reports on research conducted in Australia to determine current job function and knowledge areas in terms of their importance and frequency of use in the provision of vocational rehabilitation. Methods: A survey comprising items from the Rehabilitation Skills Inventory-Amended and International Survey of Disability Management was completed by 149 rehabilitation counselors and items submitted to factor analysis. T-tests and ANOVAs were used to determine differences between scores of importance and frequency and differences in scores based on work setting and professional training. Results: Six factors were identified as important and frequently used: 1) vocational counseling, 2) professional practice, 3) personal counseling, 4) rehabilitation case management, 5) workplace disability case management, and 6) workplace intervention and program management. Factors 1, 2, and 3 were significantly more important and performed more frequently by respondents in vocational rehabilitation settings than those in compensation settings. These same 3 factors were rated significantly higher in importance and frequency by those with rehabilitation counselor training when compared to those with other training. Conclusions: While 'traditional' knowledge and skill areas such as vocational counseling, professional practice and personal counseling were identified as central to vocational rehabilitation practice in Australian rehabilitation agencies, mean ratings suggest a growing-3emphasis on knowledge and skills associated with disability management practice.

This study addressed this issue by testing the hypothesis that couples with aligned love languages would report higher relationship satisfaction; we also explored the role that self-regulation played in promoting satisfaction. Sixty-seven heterosexual couples were assessed on love language preference, self-regulation and relationship satisfaction. Results provided limited evidence that love language alignment promotes satisfaction; rather self-regulation contributed greater variance in satisfaction. Dyadic analyses identified that female self-regulation positively impacted both male and female relationship satisfaction when couples had dissimilar primary love languages, although significant actor effects were also important predictors for both genders. The outcomes of this study suggest that the effectiveness of Chapman's model may be dependent upon both spouses exhibiting appropriate self-regulatory behaviors, and that female self-regulation plays an important role in predicting relationship satisfaction for both partners when they have different preferred love languages.
