“…If medical management is emphasized blindly, persons may feel incapacitated and negatively oppressed. Therefore, application of the empowerment strategy is crucial (Wallengren Lynch, 2016). Therefore, we advocate that empowerment-based illness management can bridge the gap and has a reference value.…”

“…Although illness management can improve individual knowledge and reduce recurrence and rehospitalization in a short period, the effect wears off over time (Lincoln et al, 2007). Thus, methods to eliminate one-way passivity to ensure that the persons feel that they are part of the treatment process of empowering care are important (Wallengren Lynch, 2016).…”

Medication adherence and recovery rates are <50% among persons with schizophrenia; therefore, this health concern needs attention. Empowerment is a vital element for behavioural change, but previous studies have presented different results and lack specific connotations about empowerment. Therefore, this study systematically reviewed and meta-analysed the effects of empowerment-based illness management on the medication adherence and recovery of persons with schizophrenia. The databases searched included the PROSPERO registration network, Cochrane Library, PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, PsycAricle, and Airiti Library. The research steps were based on PRISMA. RoB 2.0 was used for article quality evaluation, the effect size was calculated using RevMan software, and the random-effect model and standardized mean differences (SMD) were established. Eight randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving 859 participants were used to investigate the effect of empowerment on medication adherence. The trials involved the use of effective strategies as inducing medication motivation, promoting selfmedication management, and providing support resources. A moderate effect was observed (SMD = 0.58, 95% CI 0.18-0.99). Ten RCTs involving 1473 participants were used to investigate the effect of empowerment on recovery. These trials involved the use of such effective strategies as using self-strength, connecting external forces, understanding personal needs, and overcoming self-stigma. A moderate effect was observed (SMD = 0.55, 95% CI 0.10-0.99). Empowerment in illness management can effectively promote the medication adherence and recovery of persons with schizophrenia. In the future, nurses can use self-strength care to promote medication motivation and connect internal and external forces to assist a person's medication adherence and recovery.

This paper explores the application of a 'signature pedagogy' in the teaching of critical social work theory and practice on a social work undergraduate course at a Swedish university. Feedback from students over four terms, together with a one-off reflection focus group, provided relevant information that suggests that a signature pedagogical framework has value within the discussion of teaching critical theory practice and methods. The key arguments and findings found in this paper center on the interconnection between a pedagogical framework, the course in question, and the feedback from the students. The conclusion points to the argument that using a signature pedagogical framework can provide a guide to teaching critical social work and practice on a social work undergraduate course.

The stealth rise of control: Forgotten trust in contemporary professionalism

Professionalism has long been a term understood to distinguish social strata, commonly highlighting those trusted to employ expert knowledge for the benefit of society. Professionalism however is evolving; this position article contributes to the subject in drawing together different threads of literature beyond empirical studies to extend the discussion on professionalism, shedding a light on an area of interest. Specifically, it is argued that professionalism is threatened by the shift of the loci of control from the traditional, occupational professional positions to what is now contemporary professionalism. To facilitate such a transition, trust, a long-time fundamental component of traditional professionalism, is being readily and overtly substituted by control, wielded in and by modern organisations for the primary benefit of that organisation. The first part of the article explicates an understanding of professionalism and trust. The following section then introduces the relationship between both traditional and contemporary professionalism with trust. The third part moves to discuss the rise of differing types of control, arguing that trust has been forced to take a minor role in contemporary notions of professionalism in organisational practice, leading to the term being utilised to induce the required behaviours within those organisations. The article concludes with direction on both potential implications and applications of the theoretical points raised through the discussion.
