This article examines the history of the female branch of the Jeunesse Ouvrière Chrétienne movement during the 1920s and 1930s. Although the largest organization of young working women in France at a time of intense youth mobilization, the Jeunesse Ouvrière Chrétienne Féminine's (JOCF's) distinctive nature as a movement of young women has been omitted from historical accounts. This article examines the movement's approaches to spirituality, activism, work, and femininity and argues that the JOCF had a complicated approach to both young women and femininity. Indeed, it encouraged young working women to adopt Catholic approaches to morality and to prepare for future roles as mothers at the same time as it promoted notions of spiritual equality and encouraged active, independent, public roles in the present.

The MCRI-DB was intended to recognize functional impairments and predict readiness for return-to-duty in service members who experienced mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). Methods: Nineteen male service members were included in a nominal group technique (NGT) process to produce items for the MCRI-DB. Items were categorized according to the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) and were sent to 13 physical therapy experts through a Delphi survey to determine content validity. The consensus to include an item was defined as an agreement of at least 70% of the participants. Results: The NGT produced 222 items with 108 duplicates removed. The ICF categorization linked 84 of the items to 36 unique ICF Codes, 9 items were not linkable to the ICF due to the complex nature of the activity, and 21 items were removed. After three rounds of the Delphi survey, 68 items were included in this instrument. Conclusion: In this study, we successfully combined the use of service members' experiences with expert opinion to determine content validity of the MCRI-DB. This instrument may be used for assessment of service members who have experienced mTBI to help identify environmental factors, functional activities, and body functions that may reduce the safe and efficient fulfillment of their duties and determine their ability to return-to-duty. Further research is needed to develop the psychometric properties of the instrument fully. Keywords: blast injury, questionnaire, return-to-duty, service member

BACKGROUND: Traumatic cervicogenic dizziness is dizziness that is temporally associated with neck pain and injury after other causes of dizziness have been excluded. It can lead to activity limitations and participation restrictions that may include lost duty or work days. The objective of this systematic review is to determine which interventions are most effective in decreasing dizziness or vertigo and neck pain in military-aged adults with traumatic cervicogenic dizziness. METHODS: The literature will be systematically searched using the following online databases: MEDLINE, EMBASE, The Cochrane Library (Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, CENTRAL, Cochrane Methodology Register), CINAHL, SCOPUS, Web of Science, and J-STAGE. The review will include randomized controlled trials (RCTs), including cluster RCTs and controlled (non-randomized) clinical trials or cluster trials, and observational studies (including prospective and retrospective comparative cohort and case–control or nested case–control studies) and determine the effectiveness of physical therapy interventions for the treatment of traumatic cervicogenic dizziness in military-aged adults. Assessment of methodological quality will be performed by two independent, blinded reviewers using the PEDro scale. The level of evidence will be determined using the GRADE scale. The primary outcome measures will be change in dizziness and neck pain and disability from baseline to the last available follow-up, measured using the Dizziness Handicap Inventory and Neck Disability Index. Other relevant outcome measures will include self-reported change in symptoms, time to return to duty or work, and quality of life. DISCUSSION: This systematic review will identify, evaluate, and integrate the evidence on the effectiveness of physical therapy interventions for cervicogenic dizziness in a military-aged population. We anticipate our findings may inform individual treatment and future research. Clinical recommendations generated from this systematic review may inform ...
