Development and content validity of an educational manual on nursing care in blood transfusion
Blood transfusion is a frequent and high-risk clinical procedure that requires up-to-date technical knowledge and well-structured educational support to ensure patient safety. Despite its widespread use, there is a shortage of validated educational technologies specifically designed to support nursing education and professional training in transfusion care. This study aimed to develop and validate the content of an educational manual on nursing care in blood transfusion. Methodological study was conducted in two phases: development of the manual based on a scoping review and instructional design principles, followed by content validation by a panel of 15 expert nurses in transfusion and clinical nursing. Content validity was assessed using a structured instrument and the Content Validity Ratio (CVR). The manual was organized into ten thematic sections covering ethical, technical, and clinical aspects of transfusion care across all stages of the process. All evaluated items achieved CVR values ≥ 0.70, with most items presenting values close to 1.00, indicating high agreement regarding clarity, relevance, and practical applicability. The results demonstrate strong evidence of content validity, supporting the manual as a content-valid educational resource for nursing education. This educational resource has the potential to strengthen professional competencies, may support nursing education and contribute to safer transfusion practicesin healthcare settings.

Educating College Students with Autism Spectrum Disorders
Educating College Students with Autism Spectrum Disorders is one of the first books to specifically address the accommodation of students with significant learning differences in postsecondary education. Developed with the support of Autism Speaks, and piloted at Pace University, each component of this book is scientifically-based and provides a model of emerging best practices for college instruction involving students with ASD. The text is designed to give college faculty a deep understanding of students with ASD and help faculty to productively engage students with ASD, while also meeting the needs of all students in their classes. The strategies included in the manual are solidly grounded in principles of universal design and will prove indispensible for teaching college students of varying ability levels and diverse learning styles.

Counselling People on the Autism Spectrum
The characteristics of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) present unique challenges, not only to people themselves affected, but also to counselling professionals. This manual provides counselling techniques that work not only for professionals, but also for individuals either coping with being on the spectrum themselves, or living with someone who has an ASD. Regardless of intellectual and linguistic ability, people on the autism spectrum often have significant impairments in emotional expression, regulation, and recognition, and they are known to have higher rates of depression and anxiety than the general population. This comprehensive book shows how to develop the tools necessary to help people on the spectrum cope with their emotions, anxieties, and confusion about the often overwhelming world that surrounds them. Illustrated with useful case studies, it covers a range situations where counselling may be helpful for individuals with ASD, both children and adults, families where a member is on the spectrum, and couples where a partner has ASD. It also addresses specific issues, including depression, anxiety, emotional regulation, social skills, and stress, with effective strategies for dealing with each issue. As well as being indispensable for counsellors, this book provides valuable information and advice for anyone working with people and families affected by ASDs.
