Factors Influencing Outcomes Of Undergraduate Nursing Student's Education, Patricia Jenkins Barnard
Dissertations
In 2021, approximately 509,000 undergraduate nursing students graduated from baccalaureate nursing educational programs. These new registered nurses (RNs) faced the same adversities as prior generations, including feeling unprepared to practice nursing, personal expectations did not match the reality of the situation, and working in an unwelcoming environment exacerbated by COVID-19 changes. During the time of COVID-19 changes in classroom delivery and settings brought these issues to the forefront (Dewart, 2020; IOM, 2010; NLN, 2015). There is a lack of information about nursing education modalities and their efficacy. Preliminary review documented that there was no clear evidence of which teaching modalities …

Co-Design For Change: Propositions And Dilemmas, Geertje Slingerland, Gubing Wang
Co-Design For Change: Propositions And Dilemmas, Geertje Slingerland, Gubing Wang
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Co-design has been widely applied to develop interventions supporting behavior change. While numerous co-design propositions have been developed, applying these in practice often leads to difficulties and tensions. This study aims to review the co-design propositions and understand the dilemmas when applying them. A literature review was conducted, and twelve co-design propositions were identified after qualitative analysis. The study found that some co-design propositions conflict because they align with an idealistic versus a realistic perspective. By studying these conflicts in-depth, seven dilemmas were identified at the intersection of realist and idealist propositions. Implications of the findings on design for behavior …
A Bottom-Up Transformation: Design Empowering Chronic Disease Management Types And Strategies, Renxuan Liu, Duan Wu
A Bottom-Up Transformation: Design Empowering Chronic Disease Management Types And Strategies, Renxuan Liu, Duan Wu
DRS Biennial Conference Series
As the population ages, chronic disease management (CDM) has become a challenge for current public health services. Previously, designing for patients with chronic diseases often saw them as passive objects of design, hindering their agency. Understanding patients' agency is very important for health management, but the empowerment approach in the health field is often a disguised paternalism. This study aims to use the empowerment theory to reframe the possibility of the design empowering CDM and propose corresponding means of empowerment. We identified four types of design empowerment in CDM and articulated specific empowerment strategies through case studies. Our study therefore …
Designing As Infrastructuring To Impact Policy, Joyce Yee, Nicholas Spencer, Margaret Anne Defeyter
Designing As Infrastructuring To Impact Policy, Joyce Yee, Nicholas Spencer, Margaret Anne Defeyter
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Design for policy discourse is often focused on how design supports policy making in central government. And yet, there are other design practices that are contributing to policy development. We frame our work as designing for policy, design work that is happening outside formal policy space, aimed at impacting policy. This paper presents learnings based on a series of co-design interventions with young people in four English local authorities to a) design age-appropriate Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programmes and b) impact national policy. In expanding what might be considered ‘design for policy’, we hope to draw attention to considerations …

Learning From Circularity Manifestos. Crafting Designerly Circular Approaches For The Upholstered Furniture Sector, Patrizia Bolzan, Massimo Bianchini, Stefano Maffei
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Product innovation progressively embraces a sustainable and systemic approach, known as Design for Sustainability, driven by economic, environmental, socio-cultural, and behavioral insights. Nevertheless, transitioning to circularity within upholstered furniture Product-Service Systems and fostering cultural awareness remains a complex endeavor. The paper focuses on the role of Circularity Manifestos as cultural drivers in creating public awareness and behavioral change. It begins by analyzing existing cases to uncover the manifestos' underlying meaning, logic, and communication strategies for promoting and implementing circular innovation practices. These findings are subsequently compared with established theories and approaches through a comprehensive literature review and case analysis, revealing …
Prospective Design: A Structuralist Design Aesthetic Founded On Relational Qualities, Fernanda Botter, Frederick M. C. Van Amstel, Marco André Mazzarotto Filho, Cayley Guimarães
Prospective Design: A Structuralist Design Aesthetic Founded On Relational Qualities, Fernanda Botter, Frederick M. C. Van Amstel, Marco André Mazzarotto Filho, Cayley Guimarães
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Prospective design is a research program founded on critical dialogues between Global South and Global North philosophies of design. Prospective design expands the current work on designing sociotechnical transitions by including the contradiction between “forces of nature” and “human forces” as a structural feature of Western society, which generates patriarchal and feminist worldviews, colonies and metropolises, and capitalist and socialist economic systems. In prospective design, contradictions are sensed, expressed, and worked out through a structuralist design aesthetic founded on the concept of existential structures, i.e. an accumulated set of relationships needed to reproduce human life. Instead of changing them directly, …

Exploring App-Based Affective Interactions For People With Rheumatoid Arthritis, Lena Kühn, Laurens Boer, Jonas Fritsch
DRS Biennial Conference Series
The mental and emotional burden of living with a chronic disease, such as Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), calls for a better understanding of how we can support people in coping through affectively designed healthcare technologies. This paper presents findings from an ongoing research project concerned with redesigning an existing self-tracking app towards better supporting affective dimensions of living with RA. On the basis of an exploratory, intervention-based design study, we present three overall affective needs feeding into three design opportunities for cultivating affective and emotional dimensions in the redesign of the app; 1) creating a digital room for emotional response, 2) …

Community Empowerment And Identity Assimilation: Social Innovation Design Practice Through Food Resources, Yuxin Wen, Peng Ji, Yuhang Jiang, Qiwen Chen, Han Meng
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Food possesses inherent cultural attributes and serves as a natural medium of connection. This paper introduces a design project for social innovation using food resources: "From Tree to Table" (FTTT). The project is the product of a social innovation course at an art school and lasted for three months. The focus of the project is on the relationship between soft food sovereignty and community transformative change. The Peach Lake Community (PLC) is rich in ecological resources, and a government-level change resulted in differentiation within the community between indigenous residents and recent migrants. FTTT explores the possibility of using the seasonal …
Rendering Soil Care Across Hotel, Retailer, And Farm With A Mutuality Service Blueprint, Markus Wernli, Kam Fai Chan
Rendering Soil Care Across Hotel, Retailer, And Farm With A Mutuality Service Blueprint, Markus Wernli, Kam Fai Chan
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Food retailers and hoteliers aiming at eco-social transitions struggle to show tangible impact on the ground. Since sustainable food systems necessitate internal reconfigurations of service structure, exploring value creation concerning the local environment and community is essential. Design management tools are challenged to deliver mutualist conditions that respond to the needs of soils and humans. We explore what an eco-social Mutuality Service Blueprint entails based on an empirical pilot case. Here, 13 hoteliers and 17 retail customers in Hong Kong became soil care service providers over 43 weeks by diverting 4800 liters of food waste for composting and growing 1500 …
Measuring Mental Wellbeing – Can We Measure It, And If So, What Should We Measure, And How? A Qualitative Provotyping Study, Sander Hermsen, Lieke Pijnenborg
Measuring Mental Wellbeing – Can We Measure It, And If So, What Should We Measure, And How? A Qualitative Provotyping Study, Sander Hermsen, Lieke Pijnenborg
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Mental wellbeing is a growing concern for many young adults today. The design of digital products and services that could support young adults is hampered by a lack of knowledge about what constitutes mental wellbeing, and what design requirements exist for interventions. This study applied a provotyping method to add to this knowledge. Results show that mental wellbeing is broader than hedonic and eudaimonic aspects, encompassing also social, psychosocial, health- and activity-related and relaxation-related aspects. Design requirements for interventions that automatically register and provide feedback on mental wellbeing include tailoring of defining aspects to personal situations, algorithms that learn from …

Using Living Labs To Engage Communities And Stakeholders In The Development And Knowledge Exchange Of Urban Health And Sanitation Solutions In The Global South, Emmanuel Tsekleves, Roger Pickup, Manoj Roy
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Engaging communities and stakeholders in developing user-centred urban health solutions, whilst linking the research to their own development, pose major challenges for design researchers working in the Global South. In a number of circular sanitation projects in a community school in Ghana, we co-designed and installed an anaerobic digester delivering electricity and sanitation improvements. To enhance impact we developed and pilot-tested a Living and physical Lab design approach. One project focussed on hand hygiene. We introduced students to ‘making the invisible visible’ by visualising microbes from their hands and assessing handwashing effects. Our findings suggest that visualisation of microbes not …
Infrastructuring Sustainable Food Futures: A Case Study In Collaborative Innovation For Circular Seafood, Emmanuel Tsekleves, Serena Pollastri
Infrastructuring Sustainable Food Futures: A Case Study In Collaborative Innovation For Circular Seafood, Emmanuel Tsekleves, Serena Pollastri
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Transitioning to a circular economy requires transforming practices across the Ready-to-cook product value chains through shared knowledge. However, generalised solutions rarely succeed, but must be tailored to each context. This study explores using participatory design-informed “infrastructuring” to collaboratively develop novel methods tailored to stakeholders’ existing practices. The Seafood AGE project serves as a case study. We developed two remote, distributed facilitation methods using accessible digital platforms. These engage stakeholders in mapping current practices, analysing responses to speculative fish products, and exploring feasibility of prototypical circular approaches. Key findings demonstrate the potential of co-creative infrastructuring to bridge design research and industry. …
Healing Our Designing: Practices Of Care For Human And More-Than-Human Relations, Marysol Ortega Pallanez
Healing Our Designing: Practices Of Care For Human And More-Than-Human Relations, Marysol Ortega Pallanez
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Ongoing socio-ecological damages stem from dominant design practices rooted in modernist, capitalist ideologies that exploit nature. If we, designers, aim to contribute to healing the web of life, our practices also need healing. Seeking an alternative paradigm to problem-driven design, this article narrates my journey to embrace a paradigm of relation-caring that encompasses humans and more-than-humans. Drawing upon experiences with fellow embroiderers in Hermosillo, Mexico, I present two everyday design practices that explore women-plant relations in the desert: 1) cultivating relationships by embroidery of memories, presents, and futures with plants; and 2) infusing diálogo de saberes (wisdom dialogues) with embodied …

DRS Biennial Conference Series
Young adults are living in an era where nutritional and health knowledge is more accessible and advanced than ever before. However, young adults’ diets are still a concern. The PhD research reported on in this paper aims to suggest behavioural interventions that can align young adults’ individual dietary needs and their long-term goals of eating healthily. Using the methods of diary study, semi-structured interviews and card sorting, this research investigated young adults’ perceptions of their dietary behaviours and experiences of prior interventions, to understand the gap between their ‘knowing’ and ‘doing’ in terms of healthy eating. The findings indicated that …
Translation As An Explicit Practice In Design Research, Rosie Hornbuckle, Rowan Page
Translation As An Explicit Practice In Design Research, Rosie Hornbuckle, Rowan Page
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Translation as a practice, has many applications and histories. In a research context, the translation of knowledge from one domain to another brings scientific knowledge and critical ideas to people and industries. Translation between different forms of knowledge can enable collaboration between research, industry, policy and society to enable systemic knowledge co-production and impact. This paper explores the ways that design is intrinsically translational, and why translation is now becoming an expanded and explicit practice in design research. As the complexity of multidisciplinary and multistakeholder collaborative research increases, the translational nature of design could play a vital role in convening …
Enhancing Traditional Food Experience: A Food Ritual Design Framework, Hangyu Zhou, Min Hua
Enhancing Traditional Food Experience: A Food Ritual Design Framework, Hangyu Zhou, Min Hua
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Cultural globalisation threatens some traditional foods, as foreign food cultures can make local foods less popular. While food-related rituals play a crucial role in enhancing cultural identity and the overall experience of traditional food, there remains limited research on the successful design of these rituals. This study aims to propose a Food Ritual Design Framework that inspires the design of traditional food. The framework was applied in a case study on Sugar Painting, and its applicability and effectiveness were evaluated through a questionnaire survey (n = 133). The survey revealed the successful integration of 47 diverse traditional foods into the …

Webbing Clothes Moths From Pest To Opportunity: A Reflective Case Study In Interdisciplinary Design-Biology Collaborations, Chiara Tommencioni Pisapia, Bethan Highley, Miriam Ribul, Sharon Baurley, Neil C Bruce
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Abstract: This manuscript presents the first set of insights from the reflection on a case study which involved early-stage design-biology interactions in a collaboration between two PhD candidates - a designer and a biochemist - investigating the potential of the Webbing Clothes Moth enzymes to support novel approaches for the deconstruction of wool in the context of bio-based processing for the circular economy. From the interview and reflective practice on the collaboration a novel concept emerged, common sedimented ways of knowing, which we define as shared approaches that have been acquired independently through previous experiences during the lifetime of an …
Mealsense: A Fiction About Datafication And Algorithms In Commoning Food, Viktor Bedö
Mealsense: A Fiction About Datafication And Algorithms In Commoning Food, Viktor Bedö
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Commoning is on the rise as a socio-economic practice advancing the outlook of more just food systems. While smaller commoning operations can predominantly rely on informal arrangements, tracking and monitoring the conditions of the use of resources becomes vital for larger operations. This paper explores the datafication of hunger, pleasure, ingredients, cooking and spoiled food for crafting imaginaries of commoning-based algorithmic food futures. To address not only frictions around datafication but also gainful proposals, the paper mobilizes concepts of ‘unwieldy data’, ‘good enough data’, and ‘minimal feasible datafication’. It uses fiction writing as a method to amalgamate scholarly references in …

Designing In Argentina With Indigenous Groups, Catalina Lucía Agudin
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Indigeneity in Argentina has historically been oppressed. The project presented here is a collaboration between design researchers and students from Buenos Aires and Indigenous groups in Northern Argentina that combines anthropologi-cal and design methods. Participatory experiences are at the core of the pro-posal. Interactions within the communities led to various lines of work. The top-ics varied from textile production, natural coloring, traditional nourishment, and construction to didactic materials for schools within intercultural bilingual edu-cation. The results show not only material outcomes, but also how the project moved its participants. In light of the widely differing worldviews, the learning process became …

Empowering Urban Wellbeing And Biodiversity Through Design-Driven Citymaking, Laura Cipriani, Francesca Foglieni, Francesco Leoni, Stefano Maffei
DRS Biennial Conference Series
This paper presents a practice-based account of the roles that design can play in the realization of a biodiversity-driven approach to citymaking, specifically as part of urban regeneration. The authors first retrace the evolving relationship between design and citymaking in light of contemporary urban regeneration challenges, to identify the potential roles design can play in these contexts. Urban biodiversity is then explored as a factor relevant to urban well-being, ecosystem services, and proactive citizenship, clustering the types of actions that can support a biodiversity-sensitive urban regeneration. Following these premises, a portfolio of initiatives centered on urban biodiversity within a large-scale …

Rethinking 'Terms Of Service' Through Programmatic Time Travel, Seda Özçetin, Johan Redström
DRS Biennial Conference Series
The contexts of design are constantly changing, sometimes to the extent that once a ‘good’ designerly response to an issue, over time becomes increasingly problematic. Therefore, there is often a need to rethink design and its concepts. Programmatic design research may provide an exploratory space for inquiry through specific examples in relation to certain theoretical and conceptual framings. In this paper, we explore [dis/re]orientations towards design histories for creating alternative programmatic research spaces. We work through an everyday challenge, ‘Terms of Service’ (ToS), a regulatory mechanism amplifying power asymmetries in relating to data-intensive things. Disorienting design by making an odd …

Exploring The Relation Between Aesthetic Experience And Physical Activity Motivation, Yoonah Jung, Chajoong Kim, Kyungho Lee, Hwang Kim
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Digital physical activity applications employ various motivational mechanisms to encourage exercise, yet research on the complex relationship between their visual aesthetics and motivation for physical activity is still limited. The purpose of this paper is to investigate how three different visual images, such as those representing health, fitness, and social benefits, respectively, can motivate peo-ple to engage in physical activity in a digital service environment. To investigate this, 50 participants evaluated these images in the survey. The results showed that out of the three categories, fitness images had the most significant impact on motivating physical activity, suggesting that stimuli that …

Situated Partnerships To Face Food Waste Within A Neighborhood-Based Food Redistribution Service: The Case Of "Sospesa", Davide Fassi, Valentina Ferreri
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Neighborhoods can be seen as experimental hubs where innovative design strat-egies are tested within local communities, addressing the social and environ-mental issues that impact global cities and promoting more equitable futures. In current times of crisis, amid substantial food waste, urban areas are witnessing a growing phenomenon of vulnerable groups suffering from food poverty, often coupled with limited access to fresh food. This scenario has led to a proliferation of diverse charitable initiatives, concurrently fueling researchers' exploration of sustainable food commons and circular systems. However, to foster community-driven development of such models, it becomes imperative to structure services around local, …

Discovering Design Implications For Future Food Experiencing Artifacts, Yağmur Kocaman, Damla Gözde Kocaman, Oğuzhan Özcan
DRS Biennial Conference Series
Despite the growing number of research in Human-Food Interaction (HFI), studies mainly adopt a technology-oriented approach. The field focuses on creating foods computationally, leaving the device design neglected. This paper addresses this oversight by focusing on a prominent technology as a case study (i.e., 3D Food Printing) and exploring new forms and meanings HFI technologies may embody. We first explored domestic users' food-related dynamics, habits, and preferences in everyday life (N=19). We then present the outcomes of design workshops with 25 professional designers, resulting in 73 unique concepts aligned with the in-sights from domestic kitchen users. Overall, we extracted ten …
