Leapspace ii - References

Of the references listed by LEAPSPACE #6 stood out:

Merritt, M.K., Procter, N. (2010) Conceptualising the functional role of mental health consultation-liaison nurse in multi-morbidity, using Peplau's nursing theory. Contemporary Nurse. https://doi.org/10.5172/conu.2010.34.2.158 

Had I missed this? When I hear (read) of new citation for Hodges' model, it is added to the blog's bibliography. So, what about this one?

I could not access the full-paper initially, but did so at:

https://lmscontent.embanet.com/MVU/NURS600/Readings/W3_Peplau.pdf

I can see that Merrit and Proctor reference the following [#16 of 1-46]:

Jones, P. (1998). Hodges’ health career – Care domains – Model, nursing – Art or science? Retrieved October 4, 2009, from http://www.pjones.demon.co.uk/holsci.html

This additional cognitive and motivational nourishment is welcome. They are spot on with '1998', the year the former website (p-jones.demon.co.uk) went live. 

Pre-2015 and indicative of (what will increasingly follow) from AI, LLMs, agentic ai - LEAPSPACE found a page on the now archived website:

https://web.archive.org/web/20150409004111/http://www.p-jones.demon.co.uk/index.htm

While a positive, perhaps (again) we should worry about regurgitation? Although on another level perhaps the definition of 'grey literature' is also being (has been) redefined?

There is a positive in the author's acknowledgement of Hodges' model on several counts, being associated with:

• Highlighting the need for inclusion of mental health/illness (parity of esteem);
• Peplau's seminal work;
• A search to link mental health with other specialities (emergency, liaison, burns);
• Recognition of the inverse (psychological care within medicine); 
• The fact of being listed with Phil Barker (Tidal Model). 

Negatively, on the archived homepage (above) many links to content may not work:

The (rather short but referenced) page Merrit and Proctor list is available here:

I will insert this paper in the bibliographical listing; and revisit this.

TEL us a story ... Hard, Soft and being Smart

Sorting papers I'd saved I came across -

David Mossley and Clare Saunders: A revolution in philosophy teaching? from the The Philosophy Magazine. 3rd quarter. 2013. pp. 40-45. 

Checking back, I see I posted and cited this item in 2013:

https://hodges-model.blogspot.com/2013/08/drupalcon-portland-education-session.html

In the decade-plus since, how things have changed in tech, education and philosophy!

The story is ... that around this time I needed a new website and in the past I practised computer aided learning. Or should I say mCAL, microcomputer aided learning on the ZX81 and BBC Micro (related citations below). In 2013-2014, I started a PhD (as noted elsewhere) thinking I could recover and update some IT skills. Could I recapture the CAL days, by picking up TEL - technology enhanced learning? I stepped outside healthcare, and nursing specifically. I see now this was an error, but of course I still venture off-piste. The latest detour is even more extreme? On a personal - psychological level I'm visiting a subject maths - formal methods that simultaneously fills me with wonder (recognising its power and utility) and yet terrifies me with its complexity, made me feel sick at school, as a pre-teen and after.

My 'research question' was poorly formulated - which I did recognise. Two years were not wasted, far from it. The journey then was also driven by personal circumstances, married with events in 2007, 2010 and then 2015. 

 

Sticking with the current conference theme, I noticed a call for the 7th International Soft Computing and Engineering Applications Conference. Selected themes from track #4 include:

Track 4: Soft Computing for Smart Sustainable World

Smart agriculture and aquaculture
Smart cities
Smart communication
Smart disaster monitoring and management
Smart earth system
Smart education
Smart elderly care
Smart environment and ecosystems
Smart governance
Smart healthcare
Smart homes and buildings
Smart learning
Smart living
Smart machines and robots
Smart materials and fabric
Smart medicine
Smart social services
Smart villages
Smart wearables and implants

Amid all the (understandable) emphasis on 'smart' we need to retain a place for the human. That's the challenge in simultaneously considering the hard and soft of today's and tomorrow's world.
