Update on draft papers ii

The draft paper on cardiovascular nursing, first episode psychosis, research methods and Hodges' model is just about finalised; at 4700 words, 4 figures (one illustration of the model, plus three 2x2 tables) and 42 references.

One of the oldest drafts is c. 2013; in mitigation I completed an MRES in-between. This is on case formulations, diagrams and Hodges' model and is quite near completion. Although now of course the references and literature need to be re-examined. There's a new rationale to pick this up - and it connects with work below.

Another effort morphed into two papers, following an initial inquiry with a journal (lost in the email archive). The focus is Threshold concepts, Liberty Protection Safeguards - a change from DoLS, the care context is nursing homes and the residential sector applying Hodges' model.

This draft has served a purpose, forming the basis of a presentation to the virtual Threshold Concepts Conference last year. News will follow soon regards next year:

9th Biennial Threshold Concepts Conference (I really miss the Specialist Group on TCs in Health, but also appreciate the time such a commitment takes.)

Last summer, seduced by reference to 'advanced studies' (and a call that presented a broad door, sufficient to get h2cm through) I responded to a call on technology, and society. Liaising with the editor, we added - COVID-19 and Hodges' model. Before I knew it, I'd amassed more than 12,000 words in six weeks. The comments even when far from final draft, were poor. No encouragement at all. Contact was lost, blanked in fact: the paper slept. 

Months later, picking it up again, I can see why. It was poor.

I've taken some -ve critique previously. Welcome it in fact: so the Earth-bound vacuum was rude.

When working on the Michel Serres paper:

Jones, P. (2008) Exploring Serres’ Atlas, Hodges’ Knowledge Domains and the Fusion of Informatics and Cultural Horizons, IN Kidd, T., Chen, I. (Eds.) Social Information Technology Connecting Society and Cultural Issues, Idea Group Publishing, Inc. Chap. 7, pp. 96-109.

- some rather negative feedback proved the spur to the final work - that I think (and been told) is coherent, engages and 'delivers'(?).

This will be the result again, but the chain reaction has to be tempered and channeled.
Clear the desk - clear the desk! I am my own worst enemy...!

The latest paper, and its being co-authored has proved an enormous help, in time management, discipline and focus (despite COVID intervening):

Jones P, Wirnitzer K. Hodges’ model: the Sustainable Development Goals and public health – universal health coverage demands a universal framework. BMJ Nutrition, Prevention & Health 2022;0:e000254. doi:10.1136/bmjnph-2021-000254

Out of the technology, society text, a structured work - maybe two - will materialise.

Swiss army knife

 

After wittering on about legacy problems in nursing, and health care for quite a while, I've wondered about an original purpose Hodges' model - that of curriculum design, planning, development. As ever, it is just one tool in the toolkit, but regards nursing curricula, mental health nursing, the general Vs specialist distinction Hodges' model can be the ubiquitous Swiss army knife:

Boyer's model, Hodges' model, scholarship, future website and Drupal

 

Noting and replying to threads on twitter, Hodges' model can help articulate the arguments for the future of mental health nursing as a distinct pathway of study, discipline, and profession.*

So if you're struggling to complete a paper, keep going!

That mention, back in 2009 of a 'future website' is embarrassing though.

More pennies - drop ... A personal note

*

Quite a while back on twitter, someone took exception as I replied to a tweet. The specifics aren't important, what is, is how much I take for granted here. 

The suggestion was that h2cm is, gives credence to, accentuates ... the 'general' at the expense of the specific, specialist, advanced. This [Hodges' model] is BAD.

As regards Hodges' model this is plain false, wrong.

Are specialists, advanced practitioners 'born' fully formed?

As I have always tried to remember my days as a Nursing Assistant, we must remember students and across disciplines.

Some comments, by new students on placement also on twitter suggest this is sadly, not the case.

I think I replied again in the thread, highlighting h2cm's open, situated, context driven potential.

In reality people on twitter are patient; I'm muted; the cliques, click away; whatever. As I churn out the same images and phrases.

What I need to do [yes, I know!], and will from now on, is qualify 'generic conceptual framework' (which on a Saturday night [UK] is probably a turn-off for many 😘).

As your knowledge grows, and is pruned by new learning, experience (and time) so your conceptual knowledge and vocabulary changes - expertise.

Hodges' model can reflect this.

So, if you are a specialist - and new here - WELCOME! 

Here are four pools, choose yours and by all means: DIVE IN.

Don't worry. IT IS SAFE.

At least, you won't hit the bottom, and you may not even find the sides. 😉

If your field is theology, the spiritual - well, well, you are in for a real treat.

SDG paper published: "Hodges’ model: the Sustainable Development Goals and public health – universal health coverage demands a universal framework"

It has taken an age ... 2017, an invitation to write about Hodges' model, then COVID, transfer from one journal to another, a new invaluable co-author in Dr Katharina Wirnitzer without whom this paper would not have been completed. Many, many thanks are in order!

Dr Wirnitzer also provided the theme of nutrition helping to unify the discussion on the SDGs mapped to Hodges' model.

Dr Wirnitzer's work, projects and colleagues include:

From Science 2 School: Sustainably healthy – active & veggy

The reference has been added to the blog's bibliography in the sidebar.

I am hoping for news soon on another paper concerned with psychosis, early intervention, psychosocial intervention, research methods and h2cm.

This morning I shared three slides with the PAMHOP research team and greatly appreciate the opportunity to present and join their meeting:

Physical and Mental Health of Older Prisoners (PAMHOP)

As I spoke of considering the environment and the carceral context across the domains of the model, I recalled another piece of paper.

The image above is from FTWeekend in 2019.

In prison of course, while the physical environment is the intended constraint, the model also invites consideration of the psychological, social, political environments and added here - the spiritual.

Since 2019 and post-COVID, the change in how we regard and value the spaces we inhabit - voluntarily or otherwise.
