Filter by:The study is a prospective, randomized comparative study using a mixed methods design. The primary objective is to compare the effect of self-regulated simulation training (SRST) to instructor-regulated simulation training (IRST) in basic laparoscopic skills. The study population is first-year trainees in the specialties General Surgery, Urology and Obstetrics and Gynaecology within the postgraduate training region of northern Denmark. 46 first-year trainees will be randomized into two groups, one receiving SRST and one receiving IRST in basic laparoscopic skills.
Background: Primary aspect of hepatic navigation surgery is the identification of source vascular details to preserve healthy liver which has a vascularity anatomy quite challenging for the young surgeons. The purpose was to determine whether three-dimensional (3D) vascular pattern models of preoperative computed tomography images will assist resident-level trainees for hepatic surgery. Methods: This study was based on the perception of residents who were presented with 5 different hepatic source vascular pattern and required to compare their perception level of CT, and 1:1 models in terms of importance of variability, differential of patterns and preoperative planning. Results: All subspecialties agree that models provided better understanding of vascular source and improved preplanning. Five stations provided qualitative assessment with results showing the usefulness of porta-celiac models when used as anatomical tools in preplanning (p=0.04), simulation of interventional procedures (p=0.02), surgical education (p=0.01). None of the cases a scored less than 8.5. Responses related to understanding variations were significantly higher in the perception of the 3D model in all cases, furthermore 3D models were more useful for seniors in more complex cases 3 & 5. Some open-ended answers: "The 3D model can completely change the operation plan" One the major factors for anatomical resection of liver transplantation is the positional relationship between the hepatic arteries and the portal veins. Conclusions: The plastic-like material presenting the hepatic vascularity enables the visualization of the origin, pattern, shape, and angle of the branches with appropriate spatial perception thus making the well-structured.
Pregnant women - living in thecatchment area of a public dental clinic with known higher caries experience and generally lower socioeconomical status than at other dental clinics in the Region - are recruited for the study. Repeated information and surveys of dental knowledge, dental habits and medical conditions etc. is sample. Before birth, one month after birth, and 12 and 18 months after birth of the Child, the mother repeatedly answers questionnaires and recieves information about dental care. At 18 months,and at the 3- and 6-year dental examinations the caries experience dmft/deft is registered. All Children and accompanying parent receives an individual caries preventive program between the examinations. Evaluation will be focused on possible caries sreduction and Health econimic aspects of the interventions.
This study aims to evaluate the flipped classroom approach compared to the traditional classroom approach in teaching horizontal strabismus in ophthalmology residency didactics.
The new called "Generation Z" is starting to reach college age. They have adopted technology and create a deep dependence on it, becoming more drawn to the virtual world. M-learning has experienced a huge expansion in recent years in both, medical context and medical and health's sciences education. Ultrasound is an important diagnosis technique in physiotherapy, especially in sports pathology. m-Learning environments could be a useful tool for improve the comprehension of ultrasound concepts and the acquisition of professional competencies. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and the use of an interactive platform accessible through mobile devices (ECOFISIO) using ultrasound imaging for the development of professional competencies in the evaluation and diagnosis of sports pathologies. Participants were 110 undergraduate students enrolled in two groups of this randomized controlled multicentre study: a control group (traditional learning) and experimental group (ECOFISIO mobile application). All participants were assessed both theoretically and by means of the Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) exams.
Child immunization is not a one-time behavior; rather, it is a repeated behavior within a specific timeframe. Not only the low immunization, but also the dropout of immunization and the delayed immunization from the recommended immunization schedule are prevalent and high in Africa. The most common reason for the incomplete vaccination is that caregivers thought the children had already been fully immunized (44.8%), according to Nigeria Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS) conducted in 2016/2017. Caregivers' misconception of the complete immunization can be attributed to the complicated immunization schedule. In Nigeria, infants are supposed to receive 9 different types of vaccines at 5 different times within the first year since the births. To make things more complicated, the vaccine schedule changes over time; for example in Nigeria, the new vaccine, inactivated polio vaccine (IPV) was introduced in 2015 to be received at 14 weeks after births, and rotavirus vaccine and meningococcal A vaccine are scheduled for the introduction in 2019. In this complicated and rapidly-changing environment regarding vaccination schedule, the goal of the study is to improve the understanding of vaccination completion and children's vaccination status among caregivers, which can then lead to the improved rate of full vaccination among children. Objectives The main objectives of this study are to understand the impact of providing the general and tailored information on the vaccination schedule and vaccination status of women's children on the vaccine take-up. In this study, the investigators focus on women who has a child who is 12 months old or younger. Hypothesis The main hypothesis of this proposed study are as follows: 1. Information on vaccination among caregivers: the general and tailored information on vaccination schedule and child's vaccination status, improves the knowledge on benefit and understanding of vaccination completion, vaccination schedule and the vaccination status of the children among caregivers 2. Full immunization rate: through the improved knowledge level on the concept of vaccination completion and their children's vaccination status, the proposed study increases the full immunization rate among children
The study was conducted to determine the effect of the simulation method with the participation of standardized patients towards the patients suffering from bipolar disorder to benefit the education of the psychiatry nursing students. The Research Questions 1. Does the use of simulation training with the standardized patients have any effect on the average scores of the fear and behavioral intentions of the students as they approach patients with bipolar disorder? 2. Does the use of simulation training with the standardized patients have any effect on the average scores of the communication skills assessment scale of the students as they approach patients with bipolar disorder? 3. Does the use of simulation training with the standardized patients have any effect on the average scores of the state and trait anxiety level of the students as they approach patients with bipolar disorder? 4. Does the use of simulation training with the standardized patients have any effect on the average scores of the clinical decision making in the nursing scale of the students as they approach patients with bipolar disorder? 5. Does the use of simulation training with the standardized patients have any effect on the average scores of the self-efficacy - sufficiency scale of the students as they approach patients with bipolar disorder?
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.
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.
