Filter by:Patients in rural Canada face serious anesthesia care deficiencies relative to their counterparts in urban centers. Despite 18% of Canadians living in rural settings only 3.1% of medical specialists practice in rural areas. To provide equity in healthcare there is a need to develop a network where specialists in urban centers can provide training, coaching, and support to physicians in rural communities. Despite some work being done this is not possible for all specialists due to cost and travel. One potential solution to this problem is telesimulation, whereby telecommunication and simulation tools are used to provide training remotely. Simple, 2D telesimulation setups using webcams and computers have been used to teach remotely but problems with video displays and learner engagement have occurred leading to a need for more sophisticated telesimulation tools. Recently, virtual reality (VR) systems have been developed allowing the learner and teacher to immerse in a 3D computer-generated environment where they feel as if they are in the same room. We propose to see whether teaching ultrasound guided regional anesthesia (UGRA), a skill required by rural physicians, using 3D VR is better than teaching by 2D tele simulation.
3D printing technology helps rehabilitation professionals make an order-made assistive device (AD). However, most have not learned how to use the technology for clinical practice. The study is aimed to evaluate a 3D printing technology learning program for rehabilitation professionals. Eligible participants who have a licence for physical, occupational or speech-language therapy and have not experienced learning any 3D printing technology. The learning program was conducted in accordance with Kolb's Experiential Learning Theory (Morris TH, 2020). The program was conducted over eight weeks. The outcome measure included the Japanese version of the modified Technology Acceptance Model questionnaire (TAM-J). It consists of 13 items and four scales; Perception of usefulness (28 points total), Perception of ease of use (35 points total), Attitude toward use (14 points total) and Intention to use (14 points total). Within-group analyses were performed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test for the TAM-J between different time points.
Burnout Syndrome is a medical condition caused by long-term job-related strain and is defined by presence of either one or more of the three states i.e. emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and lack of personal accomplishment. Burnout has been shown to cause decreased work output and mental well being of employees and increase errors at workplace. Burnout is observed in various lines of work and but has been found to be especially high among academic students undertaking professional studies as well as healthcare professionals. Medical students in their clerkship years undergo high stake exams, while adapting from classroom and simulation learning to participate in clinical care of patients in hospital care setting with no prior experience, which much them vulnerable to developing burnout during medical school. Burnout can effect medical students' well-being, which may continue into their internship and residency so greater emphasis in required on creating an awareness of burnout and identifying any factors associated to its development.
Digital 3D animation and cadaveric videos have been increasingly used in surgical education and provide tremendous opportunity to develop new surgical educational tools, particularly during this Coronavirus-19 pandemic period. This prospective, randomized, blinded study is designed to compare the educational effectiveness of various educational tools including the surgical textbook, animation, and cadaveric videos in laparoscopic rectal surgery among board-certificated surgeons. Initially, an electronic questionnaire assessing the knowledge about laparoscopic rectal surgery will be created and validated by the board-certificated colorectal surgeons. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses will be utilized to test the structure validity of the questionnaire. After the questionnaire will be sent to the graduates completing the general surgery residency program in Turkey, the volunteers will be then randomized into four groups based on the study material including a textbook, 3D animation, cadaveric video, and both 3D animation + cadaveric video. A step-by-step educational 3D animation and a cadaveric video will be prepared in order to teach the technical steps of laparoscopic rectal surgery. Volunteers in four groups were given 2 weeks to review their educational material. After the 2-weeks of the study period, the volunteers will be asked to answers the same electronic questionnaire imported in the edited live laparoscopic rectal surgery. Pre- and post-educational assessment of the questionnaire among the groups will be performed and compared.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a multifactorial education and support program for the prevention of cancer-related cachexia syndrome, for patients and their family caregivers during anti-cancer treatment.
In this study, Investigators will test a mixed reality software platform to improve and help for teaching and assessment of anesthesia crisis management among medical students.
Images will be collected during routine colposcopy and paired with their pathology results to be used for resident education
Patient commonly present with orthopedic injuries in the emergency department. Musculoskeletal education has not historically been emphasized in American medical schools, and the effectiveness of an orthopedic surgery rotation has not been well studied in emergency medicine (EM) training. Competency in musculoskeletal education has been tested previously with a validated instrument, the basic competency exam (BCE), to assess baseline knowledge in primary care and emergency physicians. Residents from 2 different EM residency training programs will be given the BCE to determine baseline musculoskeletal knowledge prior to their orthopedic surgery rotations. A post-test BCE will be given to the residents from both EM training programs upon completion of their orthopedic surgery rotation and compared.
The goal of this study is to develop and pilot test a multi-communication approach to improve informed decision-making about cancer Clinical Trials (CTs) participation by increasing awareness of CTs and Mays Cancer Center (MCC) services (treatment care capacities, reputation and resources), positive attitudes towards CTs, self-efficacy and intentions to consider CTs as an appropriate treatment option for cancer (intention to participate) among patients attending the MCC (clinic-based setting) and the general public in selected Bexar County areas (community-based settings).
The involvement of family members is crucial and improves the prognosis of psychiatric patients and reinforces therapeutic adherence and reduces the frequency of relapses. For schizophrenia, the scientific literature clearly shows that it's in the interest of the patient to offer to his family a psychoeducational program. Therapeutic education programs are now part of the recommendations of good clinical practice and in the French health through the law n ° 2009-879 of July 21, 2009 on the reform of the hospital and relating to patients, health and territories.
