A content analysis of 598 rehabilitation journal articles was conducted covering selected and available journals from three libraries. In all, five professional referred rehabilitation journals were analyzed covering four major areas of rehabilitation: (1) general rehabilitation - The Journal of Rehabilitation (JR) and Rehabilitation Counseling Bulletin (RCB); (2) counseling Journal of Applied Rehabilitation Counseling (JARC); (3) evaluations and assessment - Vocational Evaluation and Work Adjustment Bulletin (VEWAB); and (4) services - Journal of Rehabilitation Administration (JRA). Based on the modification of an earlier content analysis procedure, articles essentially fell into one of twelve following areas: education and training, professional issues, legal issues, ethics, independent living, counselor role and junction, alcohol and drug abuse, research methodologies, program innovations, special interest groups, and miscellaneous topics not elsewhere found. Implications as to how the field of information in rehabilitation has changed over the past decade are discussed.

Future Research Directions

Using a Vocational Rehabilitation Transition Process Domain Structure (Plotner, Trach, & Strauser, in press), a content analysis of journal articles published between 1990 and 2009 in five rehabilitation counseling journals was conducted. This analysis led to a categorization of content pertaining to youth with disabilities to one of the following topics: Career Planning and Counseling, Career Preparation Experiences, Access and Opportunity for Success, Program Improvement Activities, Nonprofessional Support and-Relationships, and Collaborative Partnerships. Results showed that there was a limited body of research on transition in these rehabilitation counseling journals (4% of articles). Future research directions are discussed.

Implications and suggestions for expansion of the rehabilitation literature base in alcohol and drug abuse are discussed.

BackgroundThis research is an investigation into the role of expert quotes in health news, specifically whether news articles containing a quote from an independent expert are less often exaggerated than articles without such a quote.MethodsRetrospective quantitative content analysis of journal articles, press releases, and associated news articles was performed. The investigated sample are press releases on peer-reviewed health research and the associated research articles and news stories. Our sample consisted of 462 press releases and 668 news articles from the UK (2011) and 129 press releases and 185 news articles from The Netherlands (2015). We hand-coded all journal articles, press releases and news articles for correlational claims, using a well-tested codebook. The main outcome measures are types of sources that were quoted and exaggeration of correlational claims. We used counts, 2x2 tables and odds ratios to assess the relationship between presence of quotes and exaggeration of the causal claim.ResultsOverall, 99.1% of the UK press releases and 84.5% of the Dutch press releases contain at least one quote. For the associated news articles these percentages are: 88.6% in the UK and 69.7% in the Netherlands. Authors of the study are most often quoted and only 7.5% of UK and 7.0% of Dutch news articles contained a new quote by an expert source, i.e. one not provided by the press release. The relative odds that an article without an external expert quote contains an exaggeration of causality is 2.6.ConclusionsThe number of articles containing a quote from an independent expert is low, but articles that cite an external expert do contain less exaggeration.

The global coronovirus (Covid-19) pandemic has been revealed what about half of the world’s deaths are recorded in large institutions of the elderly and people with disabilities, and these are later thought to be incentives for states to take active deinstitutionalisation efforts. In order for deinstitutionalisation actions to respond to its ideological origins, which lie in the provisions of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, in the necessary legal instruments and in clarifying that Member States are responsible. The article reveals how the deinstitutionalisation processes that have already started are implemented and evaluated in Central and Eastern Europe and discusses their problems. Content analysis was used to investigate the Soviet regime, leading to the implementation of official and alternative (shadow) reports on the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.

The authors examine the use of tenets of diffusion of innovations theory in the medical informatics literature to reveal how the theory has and can continue to provide a basis for scholars seeking to align their research with the theory. A content analysis method was used to examine over 2,000 journal articles from the fields of medical informatics, medicine, and information systems. The authors found that tenets of diffusion of innovations theory were prevalent in the literature. Although several theories are useful in explaining phenomenon in the domain of medical informatics, diffusion of innovation is one such theory that can be applicable to a vast amount of medical informatics research that is focused on new technologies or work processes.

Mental Status Examination

With an aging workforce, the likelihood of persons applying for services with undiagnosed dementias or other substantial cognitive impairments are likely to increase. Identifying persons that may require additional evaluation prior to plan development will promote individual plans for employment that are consistent with individual needs. The focus of this article is to explain the benefits of incorporating the assessment of mental status into vocational evaluation systems. Specifically, the authors describe the benefits of using the Mini-Mental Status Examination (MMSE) in rehabilitation counseling and vocational evaluation. Suggestions as to how to incorporate this assessment instrument into rehabilitation services and the psychometric properties of the MMSE are reviewed.

This paper describes the methodology and results of content analysis research on culture within the leading project management peer review journals and recent published project management books. A review of 770 journal articles and 93 books was conducted, extending four earlier project management literature reviews while focusing on culture within project management. Emerging from this research are three primary themes: (1) knowledge and awareness of culture is important for project management professionals, (2) the percentage of culture-related articles remained fairly constant with earlier research, and (3) empirical-based project management research continues to be limited.
