Understanding trauma-impaired executive function and its impacts on homeless adults in the UK: a realist evaluative synthesis protocol by Monique Lhussier, Christina Cooper

“…Trauma-informed approaches have burgeoned in the last decade; however, biological understandings, including neurological perspectives of the impact of trauma, are typically overlooked. At present, there is little evidence exploring the impacts of executive function (EF) deficits in adulthood as a result of childhood trauma from a lived experience perspective, with none specifically exploring the role these deficits might play in homelessness.Methods and analysis The proposed research takes a realist evaluative synthesis approach combining evidence from the extant literature with qualitative data from professionals involved in the delivery of services to support people with experience of homelessness (n=15–20) and people with experience of homelessness who have previously engaged with services (n=15–20).A combination of keywords (Adverse childhood experiences, executive function, social functioning and complex needs) and their synonyms will be used to search databases MEDLINE, PubMed, SCOPUS, Web of Science and CINAHL. …”

Identifying students of concern. Primary school teachers’ reflections on assessing students’ general school functioning based on the concept of typicality by Stine Ekornes, Solveig Holen, Jo Magne Ingul, Simon-Peter Neumer, Frode Adolfsen, Elisabeth Valmyr Bania

“…IntroductionThe present paper explores how Norwegian primary school teachers’ reason and reflect when assessing students’ general school functioning in Teacher’s Report Form (TRF), where teachers are asked to compare students of concern with what is perceived as a typical student at the same age, regarding work effort, behavior, learning capacity and mood.MethodsThe teachers in the sample (n = 7) had recently filled out the TRF as part of their participation in The Echo Study, utilizing the cognitive behavior therapy program Emotion for sad and anxious children.ResultsThe results show that teachers base their assessments much on person-relative, rather than group- or age relative comparisons, e.g., what is normal for the individual student. …”
