Filter by:This study was designed to evaluate the effect of a 70-minute Pain neuroscience education (PNE) session on physiotherapy students' knowledge of pain and their beliefs and attitudes about the treatment of patients with chronic pain.
Stoma surgery is a relatively common treatment for patients suffering from colorectal diseases.This study aimed to investigate the impact on hospital stay and short-term overall complications prior to and following the introduction of an outpatient preoperative stoma education program.
The patients who have undergone thoracotomy operation will include in the study. All patients have chest physiotherapy in the intensive care unit. Patients will be randomized and divided into two groups. One group will be given an exercise form with details and photographs of the exercises. No documents will be given to the other group. The program includes breathing exercises, incentive spirometry study, coughing and graded ambulation. After 1 intensive care session, patients are admitted to the service rooms due to routine procedures. The patients will be served in the afternoon and will be questioned whether they are performing their exercises or not.
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.
This study, focusing on the management of pediatric asthma exacerbations, assesses the clinical skills of medical students using three different evaluation tools: (i) the simulation game "Effic'Asthme" developed to train individuals on the management of pediatric asthma exacerbations; (ii) a multiple choice questionnaire (MCQ) on the same subject developed for the purpose of the study and (iii) high fidelity (HF)-simulation, considered as the gold-standard for its enhanced realism. Its objective is to determine which of the simulation game or the MCQ reflects the best the clinical competence of medical students evaluated on a HF simulator.
The Feasibility of the post-primary Active School Flag (PPASF) programme. The PPASF is an initative from the Department of Education and Skills in a whole-school program to increase physical activity opportunities involving the students in second level education schools in Ireland. Various actors involved in the process include admin, teachers, and students to create more physical activity opportunities for the students in the school. Process evaluation and fidelity of the program are carried out during the year long process for certificate and two years for achieving the flag. Results of this study will inform the design and implementation of the PPASF in a national roll out across Irish second level education schools.
Second-year nursing students are randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. The case-based teaching method was applied to the experimental group and the classical teaching method was applied to the control group. After the initiative, both groups observed differences in perceived competence and critical thinking levels. In addition, the focus groups were interviewed with the experimental group and the opinions and suggestions about the initiative were evaluated qualitatively and the total mix method was used.
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).
Pain Neuroscience Education (PNE) has been shown to be effective to alter beliefs and decrease pain among individuals with musculoskeletal pain. Additionally, PNE has been shown to alter beliefs among middle school children. This study plans to assess the effects of PNE within a group of Spanish-speaking individuals.
Basic Life Support (BLS) is important for outcome in cardiac arrest.Therefore, it is crucial to improve the quality of education in resuscitation training. Better training will eventually lead to more effective CPR skills in course participants. BLS courses in both international resuscitation associations (European Resuscitation Council and American Heart Association are typically taught in small groups of 6 participants. In reality group sizes of up to 10 participants are used, because these courses are highly demanded and cost intensive. There is no evidence for the effective group size to be clinical and cost effective. Therefore the investigators perform this prospective study to determine the maximum number of participants an instructor can oversee without missing more than 20% of errors made during an instructional BLS session.
