Effects of an inservice workshop on the health teaching self-efficacy of elementary school teachers.

This study examined the effectiveness of a 30-hour health education inservice training for elementary school teachers. Effectiveness was assessed by measuring pretest to post-test (eight months apart) differences in health teaching self-efficacy, amount of time per week teaching health education, and amount of effort on specific health content areas. Workshop participants scored significantly higher than control teachers on efficacy expectations, outcome expectations, and outcome value subscales. Workshop participants also reported spending significantly more hours per week teaching health education and expending significantly more effort on a variety of specific health content areas than controls.

Influences on social work time expenditure in a voluntary inpatient psychiatric unit.

This article describes a study of social work time expenditure on a voluntary inpatient psychiatric unit in an inner-city, tertiary-care, teaching hospital that serves many publicly funded patients. The study examined the influence of a number of presenting problems, individual psychosocial factors, and demographic factors. Controlling for patient length of stay, four factors were found to influence time expenditure: (1) greater number of assessed psychosocial problems, (2) Asian ethnocultural background, (3) the interactive effect of being a Medicaid recipient or having a pending Medicaid application and needing placement in a structured living situation, and (4) referrals to child protective services.
