Aerts, D., 2001. Transdisciplinary and integrative sciences in sustainable development. In: Encyclopedia of Life Support Systems, Baldwin House, Aldates, Oxford.
This article puts emphasis on the need for an interdisciplinary approach to human endeavor in the quest to identify a solution for a given problem. The article emphasizes the issue of finding sustainable solutions to given problems as opposed to finding solutions that are functional but for a very short period of time. This article is important in the research topic because it will allow the researchers to come up with solutions that are sustainable. This research is not just meant to provide solutions that will not last. This is attained by the use of an interdisciplinary approach.
The most relevant point to consider in relation to this research topic is the drawbacks that humanity faces when trying to come up with solutions that are sustainable. The drawbacks mentioned are the inability of humans to control the events within the complex world. This is very relevant because the changing environment is the root cause of increased cases of intellectual disability in society. On the other hand, the increased cases lead to overload on the part of practitioners hence causing increased burnout rates.
The article further contains information on the confusion of potency and variety versus efficiency and yield. This confusion that is characteristic of human nature can be addressed if an interdisciplinary approach is assumed. On the other hand, the article advocates for an integrative approach between several role players. These two approaches mentioned above are very relevant to this research topic because what is needed is a solution to burnout on practitioners in New South Wales.
By engaging them in an integrative approach that is interdisciplinary in nature, strategies will be developed to ensure that burnout is reduced. This approach is particularly important because it allows the researchers to assume an integrative approach that will lead to a solution that belongs to the practitioners in New South Wales. Assuming generally accepted scientific approaches alone could lead to generic solutions that do not necessarily address the unique problems in New South Wales.
This article does not just lay emphasis on health care but also calls upon an interdisciplinary approach. It calls upon putting into consideration several aspects of the causes of intellectual disability and hence the multidimensional approach to its solution. Furthermore, the article calls upon the active participation of every concerned role player including the practitioners, the family, the patient, and several others. The variety involved in the article is what is relevant in the research topic because it enables the researchers to engage in an integrative approach that will come up with a custom-made strategy that for practitioners in New South Wales.
Choi, B. & Pak, A., 2008. Multidisciplinarity, interdisciplinarity and transdisciplinarity in health research, services, education and policy: 3. Discipline, inter-discipline distance, and selection of discipline. Clin Invest Med, 31(1), pp. E41-E48.
This article demonstrates an insight in the issue of interdisciplinary collaboration in order to come up with an appropriate solution to a given problem. To be precise, the article argues that health care research desperately needs to identify with other disciplines in order to curb certain challenges like the burnout issue. The most important issue in the article that is relevant to this research topic lies in the field of combining health care research with other disciplines in order to combat certain challenges. Particularly, the article puts emphasis on the knowledge universe that is characterized by several subsystems that are interdependent. Characteristically, this means that living one subsystem out might impair the outcome of the research.
The place of health care as one of the subsystems is relevant to this topic. To come up with appropriate solutions to challenges, it is necessary that researchers put in more effort on interdisciplinary approaches. This is quite relevant to this topic because alleviating burnout might call for more non-health care approaches. It might call for psychological, career, family, working hours and other factors to alleviate burnout. By sticking on health care alone as a discipline, it might fail to address some of these issues appropriately. The article is therefore relevant because it allows for interdisciplinary efforts to help the New South Wales policymakers and practitioners to look for solutions from other disciplines.
In relation to the research topic, researchers will need to further explore the exact disciplines that can assist the intellectual disability services practitioners to come up with appropriate strategies towards burnout alleviation. In their own words, researchers will need to further explore the position of intellectual disability services in the knowledge universe. They will need to identify the corresponding subsystems that will collaborate with this field.
The issue of interdisciplinarity as explored in this article clearly looks relevant in the fact that the issue in the research topic engulfs, not just health care for the intellectual disability patients and practitioners but also the issue of burn out together with the issue of disability. As three independent variables, the article comes in relevance because the three become subsystems within the knowledge universe. The researcher will therefore have to identify the relationship between the three subsystems and how the knowledge between them is interdependent. With appropriate comprehension, appropriate measures might be developed. This will assist researchers to have avenues through which strategies to alleviate burnout in practitioners in the intellectual disability services. It is therefore a necessary article in the course of the research.
Ericson-Lidman, E. & Strandberg, G., 2009. Meanings of being a supervisor for care providers suffering from burnout: From initial signs to recuperation. Journal of Nursing Management, 17, pp. 366-375.
This article highlights the importance of providing a litigation platform for care givers in the event of burn out. The article is particularly important in relation to the research topic because it calls upon the researchers to identify a way through which the conflict of relationship versus production can be litigated. The conventional meaning of supervisor is what brings about the conflict. While care givers are expected to develop burnout, especially when demands increase, supervisors are forced to ensure that the care givers continue being productive. This eventually develops a strain between the care giver and the supervisor.
The approach mentioned in this paper is what can be considered relevant to the research topic. The article argues that the conventional conception of the role of supervisors needs to be changed. They should not be viewed as people to force the care givers to be productive. Instead, they should be viewed as the bridge between the management and the care givers where dialogue can be facilitated. By offering a chance for dialogue to the care givers, the supervisors are able to understand and develop an appropriate strategy that will reduce burnout on their part. Furthermore, they need to be supported and offered knowledge on burnout.
Armed with this, the rate of burnout will reduce. In relation to this research topic, it is important that care givers and supervisors in New South Wales intelligence disability services are offered platform for dialogue in order to understand their specific needs. Furthermore, they should be given support and knowledge on how to handle conflicting issues. Correctly put into place, this can highly reduce the cases of burnout.
The element in the paper to be given much consideration in relation to the research topic is the issue of support and knowledge for supervisors. Considering that burnout is much likely when conflict situations arise, it is important that supervisors and care givers are armed with adequate knowledge to handle such cases. Furthermore, they should be given adequate knowledge on burnout so that they can know how to handle it when identified in their friends or themselves.
In general, this article advocates for training and development of both supervisors and caregivers. It offers a chance for an interdisciplinary approach because it does not just call for health care approach. Instead, it calls for dialogue that will lead to other forms of remedies that will promote the wellbeing of the care givers in New South Wales.
Keen, D. & Knox, M., 2002. Approach to challenging behavior: A family affair. The University of Queensland, Unpublished.
This article brings in question another role player in the issue of disability management. Unlike several approaches stressing on the role of practitioners, this article brings in the family as a role player. This article is important because it identifies the one of the most fundamental elements of life of any individual. The family is the closest environment that any individual accustoms to before starting to accustom to other forms of environment.
The behavior of an individual is highly determined by the behavior On the other hand, the influence on decision making that a family might have on an individual is comparable to no other. Within the family unit, what is taken as the acceptable or the norm within the family unit becomes the norm within the life of the individual. The article is therefore important in relation to the research in that it gives the researchers a platform to identify how practitioners in New South Wales can work together in order to reduce burn out.
Of relevance to the research topic is the approach to that the family as a whole is taken to be the client. Unlike other approaches that only put into consideration the individual as a client, the article stresses on understanding and designing the medical approach with the family as the client. This is particularly true considering the change in approach to disabilities that currently advocates for change in lifestyle. An individuals lifestyle cannot change if the family is not put into consideration.
Deeper exploration should be put on the way a family unit can be used as an agent for change of lifestyle and a medium for creating awareness for communication intent. For a purposeful result in this research topic, these elements should be given great consideration because it is from this that the practitioners will be able to identify how they will work together with the family. When roles are shared, the work load for practitioners will reduce. Consequently, the chances of burn out will be reduced.
With the family characteristic and context put in question. Much of the practices will cease to acquire purely a health care approach. It will assume a social work approach where an appropriate environment will be created for the client. As a disability, the causes are usually multidimensional. Putting the family in question assists the individual because the disabled will meet his challenges mostly in the family setting. Any practices that would help improve the wellbeing of the client must touch the family. As a result less involvement by the practitioner will be experienced.
McVilly, K., 2009. What do psychologists need to know about working with people with disability? Australian Psychological Society. Web.
This article portrays the importance of approaching disability from a multidimensional approach. While some practitioners might take a unidirectional approach, the desirable outcome might not be achieved. The article is important in terms of the research topic because it allows the researcher to identify the different elements that play a role in the development of disability. The article argues that specialization might not be appropriate in the field of psychology because disability is not a quality or inherent attribute that might call for a given cure.
It is necessary to understand that several social, economic, physical and psychological factors come together in order to develop a disability. The article is therefore important because it will assist the research to identify ways through which several practitioners, not just those specialized in the intellectual disability, but all forms of psychology can work in collaboration in order to reduce the burn out level in New South Wales.
The most relevant issue in the article is the conceptualization of disability as a biopsychosocial phenomenon that is caused by various elements. As a result, the article identifies the root causes of disability as economic, psychological, physical and even attitude as barriers that hinder an individual from normal participation in day to day activities at home, in school, at the work place and in the community at large. What really makes this conceptualization relevant to the research is that it helps the researcher understand that disability, being a biopsychosocial phenomenon will call for a multidimensional approach.
Therefore, if the practitioners in New South Wales tend to operate from a unidirectional approach, then they are very likely to experience burn out. However, with the knowledge imparted through this article, the researcher will be able to develop a strategy to alleviate burnout by incorporating the multidimensional approach that will be more appropriate.
The disciplines that need to be explored further in order to assist in the outcome of this research include the multidimensional nature of the cause of disabilities within an individual. Further exploration of this topic is particularly relevant because it is not possible to come up with a strategy to alleviate burnout in practitioners when the root cause of the problem has not been identified. By rooting out the causes, it will be easier to identify apposite ways of dealing with the problem. This will eventually reduce the strain level. With reduced strain level, the rate of burnout will be greatly reduced.
Similarly, this article advocates for a multidimensional approach. It lays great emphasis on interdisciplinary collaboration that will eventually lead to the reduction of burnout. The research will call for looking at other possible causes of intellectual disability. Instead of looking at it from a health care perspective as a form of attribute that needs a cure, this research will try to view disability as a biopsychosocial phenomenon that needs a multidimensional approach. With this in mind, the solution arrived at will offer an avenue through which the researchers will be able to devise a strategy for burnout alleviation.

This article emphasizes on the issue of dialogue as the best approach to burnout alleviation. This article is extremely important because it carries a qualitative analysis approach to alleviating burnout. In the research, it is identified that most of the mainstream approaches are scientific oriented and usually assume stipulated scientific strategies. However, the health workers in question are not given any participatory role. Their views are not given any consideration. This article is therefore important because it allows the researchers to collect data from the intellectual disability service practitioners who are the real issue of the research. The article is hence important because it allows offers the best approach to identifying a problem within the health care setting and formulating an appropriate strategic approach to solving this problem.
The most relevant issue in this article is the approach to research inquiry. While the conventional methods were science oriented, the current approach being advocated for in this article does not accept such an approach. The approach that is necessary for this research topic has to be inclusive and interactive. With increased interaction between the practitioner and the researcher, a deeper understanding will be founded between the two. By actively participating in the development of strategies to alleviate burnout in their practice, practitioners in New South Wales will air their concerns, what mostly drains them, how they can be assisted to reduce strain level and others. This active participation will give a custom made strategy that will assist reduce the level of burnout in this section of Australia.
The article advocates for active participation by the practitioners. The elements that need further exploration that will assist in the research topic are the relevant ways through which the practitioners can participate actively. Given the articles specifications, it is important that emphasis is laid on the participation methods through development of questions that are relevant to the needs of these practitioners. Responses from the respondents will therefore be used as the building framework for the strategy.
Through active participation of the practitioners, more than health care will be addressed. The responses will most probably identify other issues that relate to other disciplines and other burnout causes and curbing strategies. Disability from a practitioners approach will be understood not just scientific approaches that were developed years ago and thus do not conform to the current social, economic and physical environment.

This research carried out by accomplished scholars was aimed at highlighting the fact that a challenging career could lead to burnout from the practitioner. However, it is important to understand how this problem can be solved. By understanding the practitioners approach to burnout alleviation, a good and sustainable strategy can be developed. This article is particularly relevant to the research topic given that it directly deals with the issue of burnout in a challenging medical career. Furthermore, it is a qualitative research that is carried out on a relevant sample that eventually identifies the most common approaches to burnout alleviation.
The conclusion of the article offers great relevance to the research topic. In the conclusion, the research argues that different physicians tend to have different strategies in the promotion of personal well being after burnout. As a result, it relevant to this research topic in that it offers a wide range of approaches to personal well being. Considering this, a well articulated approach that puts the diverse strategies in consideration can help stakeholders to design an appropriate strategy which is necessary for the alleviation of burn out in intellectual disability services in New South Wales.
With physical well being identified as the most common strategy of alleviating burn out with a popular mention at 60% of all the respondents while improved professional relationships coming second at 57%, it is necessary that stakeholders in New South Wales intellectual disability services explore more on how the work place could improve the physical wellness of the practitioners. One of the approaches to the physical wellness could be developing a culture that promotes professional relationships between them. Such approaches might include physical improvement of the working conditions like the provision of adequate technological support, provision of enough holidays for practitioners, increase in remuneration, recognizing every individual effort and achievement.
All these will ensure a welcoming working environment that will eventually lead to the physical wellbeing. However, the other responses should also be explored. For instance, stakeholders should look for ways through which passion for work and humor at the work place could be intertwined within the strategies that promote physical wellbeing. Put together, a good strategy is inevitable.
The responses identified in this research also points out that it is not just about health care. It is an issue of social work. In social work, the wellbeing of the community is the principle objective. In this article, it is clear that having passion for once work was one of the strategies used to alleviate burnout. If the practitioners have a passion for the wellbeing of the society as a whole and have ability to understand the needs of the disabled, they would develop a passion for their work and hence alleviate burn out.
To conclude, the arguments in the articles above tend to drive towards a similar direction. They argue that addressing the issue of disability purely from a health care perspective might not offer sustainable solutions. As a result, they advocate for interdisciplinary approach that will allow for a multidirectional approach. This approach will put into consideration several factors and elements that are the root causes of intellectual disability.
By identifying these root causes, multidirectional approach will be used to provide a solution that is practical and sustainable. They also advocate for active participation by the practitioners, family and all other role players in the development of sustainable and practical solutions. By actively involving the practitioners, they would identify the exact problems that they face in New South Wales as opposed to using scientific approaches that rarely involves them hence developing generic solutions. On the other hand, the family is given priority because it plays an important role in an individuals behavior.
