For some time now I have implemented a manageable combined assessment approach emphasising competence and decision-making (Way 2008, 2009). To do this, we must be able to monitor trainees’ planning, monitoring, regulating, evaluating, recognition of flawed and successful processes and task variables during their assignments. The question is: How can translator trainers assess such a vast range of complex processes? One possible solution is through rubrics for each trainee project management role and for the final translation. In this proposal we attempt to counterbalance the multiple demands of trainee assessment, whilst also addressing the time constraints on trainers and the opinions of trainees. In our paper we will present the rationale for the rubrics (after the pilot trial February-June 2020), one rubric example, an example of the Support Sheets for trainees and the outline for a platform which, once constructed, will only require periodical updating by trainers.

Background: Police officers meet many stressors as part of their occupation. The psychological resource "sense of coherence" (SOC) protects against ill-health, but its impact on coping resources for stress situations has not been studied in the population of police officers. Different approaches to investigate the significance of SOC for different outcomes have been identified in literature, leading to some difficulties in the interpretation and generalization of results. The aim was therefore to explore SOC and the coping resources, and to examine the significance of SOC for various coping resources for stress using different models in a sample of Swedish police officers providing on-the-beat service. Materials and Methods: One hundred and one police officers (age: mean = 33 years, SD = 8; 29 females) were included, and the Orientation to Life Questionnaire (SOC-29) and the Coping Resources Inventory (CRI) were used. The dependent variable in each regression analysis was one of the coping resources: cognitive, social, emotional, spiritual/philosophical, physical, and a global resource. Global SOC-29 and/or its components (comprehensibility, manageability, and meaningfulness) were investigated as independent variables. Results: All CRI and SOC-29 scores except for that of spiritual/philosophical resources were higher than those of reference groups. Manageability was the most important component of SOC for various coping resources in stress situations used by police officers. Conclusion: A deeper study of manageability will give useful information, because this component of SOC is particularly significant in the variation in resources used by police officers to cope with stress. Salutogenesis, the origin of well-being, should be more in focus of future research on workplaces with a high level of occupational stress.

Praca zawodowych kuratorów sądowych polega na podejmowaniu różnych zadań zarówno wobec podopiecznych, jak i instytucji. Kuratorzy pracują w terenie z podopiecznymi, w sądach wymieniają informacje z sędziami na temat prowadzonych i planowanych wobec podopiecznych działań, w środowisku zewnętrznym współpracują z instytucjami i organizacjami działającymi na rzecz pomocy i resocjalizacji. Wielość zadań i konieczność́ ich koordynowania, podejmowanie trudnych decyzji związanych ze zmianami życia ludzkiego, dotyczących podopiecznych i ich rodzin, trudności i opór przed wdrażaniem zmian - wpływający na efektywność, zagrożenia generowane przez specyfikę zadań, dzielenie konieczności realizowania zaangażowania zewnętrznego z realizacją celów osobistych - to wszystko stawia przed tą grupą zawodową wiele wymagań. Kuratorzy powinni być dobrze wyposażeni wewnętrznie - mieć wysokie poczucie koherencji (zrozumiałości, zaradności, sensowności), stawiać sobie cele w życiu zawodowym i osobistym, mieć poczucie sensu życia, ważna jest też dla ich grupy zawodowej umiejętność radzenia sobie w sytuacjach trudnych. Badanie wymienionych zmiennych w grupie kuratorów zawodowych i ich opis stanowi właśnie przedmiot refleksji przedstawionego artykułu.

In their work probation officers need to engage in an array of tasks in dealings with their clients and institutional stakeholders. They work in the field with their clients, in the courtroom, to exchange information with judges on pending and planned actions against their clients, and interact with external stakeholders - institutions and organizations which foster assistance and social rehabilitation. The variety of tasks and the need to coordinate them, tough decisions which induce changes in human lives and affect the clients and their families, difficulties and resistance to change, with the ensuing drop of effectiveness, insecurity driven by task specificity, the need to combine the outside involvement with persona goals - all these are major challenges for this professional group. Thus, probation officers need to possess the proper ‘inner equipment’ understood as a high sense of coherence (comprehensibility, manageability, and meaningfulness), the ability to define professional and personal goals and the sense of purpose in life, not to mention the ability to cope in difficult situations. The paper presents and describes the findings from the study of the aforementioned variables among professional probation officers.
