Filter by:Healthcare professionals providing care for institutionalized older patients must deal with agitated behavior daily. Such behavior alters the patient's quality of life and generates stress for the caregiver. Humanitude® Care Methodology is an alternative to pharmaceutical approaches that has demonstrated benefits on care delivery. The present study aims to investigate the effects of this method on healthcare professionals' perception of competence and emotional state when dealing with difficult care situations.
The academic training of French postgraduate students in general practice (E3CMG) is facing a challenge due to the increasing gap between the number of students and the available teaching hours. To accommodate the growing number of students, asynchronous acquisition of knowledge prior to a reduced face-to-face teaching would maintain the capacity to provide socio-constructivist teaching useful for developing problem-solving skills (i.e. thesis design and feasibility assessment). The main objective of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the effect of hybrid versus face-to-face socio-constructivist teaching on French E3CMG course assessment and evaluation.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effects of two different educational training programs on beliefs about Human Papillomavirus (HPV) in a group of female hospital employees. The main questions it aims to answer are: • Within the scope of the study, are the training programs provided to reduce misconceptions about HPV effective? • Which educational program is more effective in reducing misconceptions about HPV? Participants will • Complete a pre-test online the day before the first training date to determine the level of their misconceptions about HPV. • Receive informative messages via Whatsapp once a day for three days according to the training program they are assigned to. • Repeat the pre-test at the end of the training programs and one month later. • Receive the more effective training program after one month after the test repetition for the control group. Researchers will compare "Misbeliefs about HPV" and "Current Knowledge about HPV" titled training programs on reducing misconceptions about HPV.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare different digital learning methods for teaching basic skills in point-of-care transthoracic echocardiography to medical students. The main question it aims to answer is: • Is a novel digital learning tool, such as a serious video game, non-inferior to traditional ultrasound simulator teaching methods in the context of basic point-of-care transthoracic echocardiography skills training? Participants will train basic point-of-care ultrasound skills using either a traditional basic ultrasound simulator course or the serious video game "Underwater". Both methods focus on training hand-eye coordination, which is particularly important in transthoracic echocardiography. To compare the performance of the participants, a baseline assessment will be performed before and a final assessment after the two-week training period.
This study will focus on exploring the experiential differences between virtual standardized patients and physical standardized patients, gathering feedback through questionnaires and brief interviews. Standardized patients have been widely used in medical education and physician licensing exams in Taiwan for over 15 years. With the rise of technology-enhanced medical education, it is necessary to reexamine the professional attributes and identification of standardized patients and explore the implementation of virtual standardized patient systems. The research aims to reshape the professional identity of standardized patients, identify necessary attributes and competencies, and establish a virtual standardized patient system to assess medical students' acceptance and learning outcomes.
Point-of care-ultrasonography has the potential to transform healthcare delivery through its diagnostic and therapeutic utility. Its use has become more widespread across a variety of clinical settings as more investigations have demonstrated its impact on patient care. This includes the use of point-of-care ultrasound by trainees, who are now utilizing this technology as part of their diagnostic assessments of patients. However, there are few studies that examine how efficiently trainees can learn point-of-care ultrasound and which training methods are more effective. The primary objective of this study is to assess whether artificial intelligence systems improve internal medicine interns' knowledge and image interpretation skills with point-of-care ultrasound. Participants shall be randomized to receive personal access to handheld ultrasound devices to be used for learning with artificial intelligence vs devices with no artificial intelligence. The primary outcome will assess their interpretive ability with ultrasound images/videos. Secondary outcomes will include rates of device usage and performance on quizzes.
The study is a feasibility pilot trial testing 2 types of training protocols on a single physician. The first training protocol is the current standard and was developed in high-income settings. The second training protocol will be developed so tailored to the Nigerian setting. Investigators will test if the physician performs differently in their ability to conduct anal cancer screening and treatment between the 2 training protocols.
The goal of this randomized control study is to determine if the use of standardized coaching language by faculty trainers for teaching colonoscopy is associated with improved colonoscopy performance. The main questions it aims to answer are: - If the use of standardized coaching language is effective in improving colonoscopy training? - If the use of standardized coaching language influences the clarity of instructions by the faculty trainers during colonoscopy teaching Participants will take part in simulated colonoscopy teaching encounter using a virtual reality simulator for 1 hour in 2 different sessions 2 weeks apart. Researchers will compare 2 groups of faculty trainers to to see if the standardized coaching language effects the colonoscopy training quality.
The aim of this study is to determine if, with respect to medical students applying for residency in emergency medicine, prior knowledge of an applicant's academic record affects their ranking during their interviews. Attendings interviewing candidates will either be blinded to their prior academic records or be allowed to review them prior to the interview. The interviewer's final score of the applicant will be measured, comparing blinded versus unblinded assessors.
Effective communication is one of important skills in occupational therapy (OT) practice, affecting the effectiveness and quality of therapy. Although there are only a few courses on communication skills related to OT, there is a lack of a complete, suitable, and evidence-based OT communication skills teaching programs that can effectively improve the interns' communication skills. The purpose of the study is to develop a communication skills training program for occupational therapy interns in physical dysfunction practice (COPE), and examine the effectiveness of COPE.
