Filter by:The goal of this pilot study is to learn if a class and hands-on-practice of ergonomic body positions - or specific ways to move the body while working to prevent injury - is valuable to training obstetrics and gynecology doctors. The main questions the study team aims to answer are: - Will these lessons successfully teach the participants how to move bodies at work in a way that will prevent injury? - Will the participants feel that learning and practicing such lessons helps to avoid injury while at work? Researchers will compare training obstetrics and gynecology doctors that attend a class on ergonomics and have guided hands-on-practice of ergonomic body positions with training obstetrics and gynecology doctors that attend the class only to see if the first group learns and remembers how to move their bodies safely while working. All participants will attend a class that teaches basic ergonomic lessons before they are divided into two groups. Group 1 will practice common surgery skills on a model while being videotaped by an artificial intelligence application. The application will make a report on unsafe positions a participant does while practicing surgical skills. The Group 1 participant will then go over the report with one of the study supervisors to talk about ways that the participant can move safely while practicing the skills. The participant will then practice the skills one more time while being videotaped. The study supervisors will then compare the two reports to see if the participant improved. Group 2 will also practice common surgery skills on a model while being videotaped. Group 2 participants will not get to see the report that the application generates or speak with the study supervisors about ways to move safely while practicing the skills. There will be a follow up after two months to see if participants remembered what was learned during the class and during the hands-on practice lesson. All participants will again be videotaped. The study supervisors will compare the videos and reports from the last class to the most recent ones to see if the participants learned and remember how to move safely while working. Participants in both groups will take a quiz about the lessons learned in the class before and after the class to determine what had been learned from the lesson. A survey about how useful and helpful the class was and hands-on practice sessions were will also be completed.
This is a quantifiable study evaluating the ability of a mixed reality (MR), immersive simulation experience to evoke empathy in anesthesiology trainees. Quantitative methodologies will be employed using standardized questionnaires including the The Jefferson Scale of Physician Empathy for Health Professions Students, (HP-version). Trainees will assess their preliminary, baseline empathy using the Jefferson Scale and after the simulation and debrief, will reassess empathy scores, once again using the Jefferson Scale. A satisfaction survey to assess simulated patient embodiment as a valuable exercise and contributor to empathy education curriculum.
This is a non-inferiority, international, controlled trial that aims to evaluate the progression of physicians and residents through an Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) clinical simulated scenario. The study's primary objective is to compare the performance outcomes between two groups: participants in the traditional in-person simulation and those immersed in the Augmented Reality (AR) scenario
Ultrasound guidance plays a pivotal role in caudal epidural block in pediatric patients. In comparison to conventional single-plane ultrasound, biplane ultrasound offers the advantage of providing simultaneous transverse and longitudinal imaging. Better visualization under biplane ultrasound is postulated to enhance the efficacy of caudal epidural blocks. This improvement is expected to manifest through higher first puncture success rate, shorter procedure time, and longer time to first postoperative analgesics use.
This is an international, collaborative study evaluating the non-technical skills (NTS) of anesthesiology residents. The goal is to explore the capability of performing a remote, international AR simulation for the purpose of assessing PALS during a medical crisis. Simulation experts in the United States will facilitate the AR simulations with anesthesiology residents in Hong Kong. The medical simulation itself is grounded in traditional best practices in accordance with the American Heart Association.

The current pandemic has revealed in-person simulation training and evaluation is vulnerable to disruption, and alternatives are needed which allow remote evaluation. The recently developed Microsoft Hololens headset device allows interactable holograms to be inserted into a user's workspace (mixed reality) - permitting the augmentation of existing clinical and training spaces with holographic (i.e. virtual) patients via the prototype HoloSIM software. This study is the first known research initiative aiming to demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of mixed reality for acute medicine training and assessment at a distance. Space, time, personnel, pandemic, and cost constraints limit opportunities for high-fidelity simulation exercises for post-graduate trainees at Sunnybrook. By developing and demonstrating the effectiveness of this new training modality, increased simulation exercises will lead to a higher quality education experience, better functioning teams, and better patient outcomes.
Owing to coronavirus disease-related social distancing requirements, online education has gained prominence. Surgical trainers consider online videos as a useful teaching aid that maximizes trainees' learning and skill development given the backdrop of time constraints and productivity demands, however, online videos usually do not undergo a peer-review process. Based on these premises the LAP-VEGaS guidelines (LAParoscopic surgery Video Educational GuidelineS), a recommended checklist for production of educational surgical videos, were developed. This study aime to evaluate the impact of educational videos of laparoscopic gynecological surgeries, that were standardized with the LAP-VEGaS, for the improvement of surgical confidence and performance of surgical trainees.
Now, there are few researches on the ability of social workers who work with drug addicts / drug users in China, and the sample size is small and the content is not deep enough.The existing studies suggest that the professional knowledge and ability of social workers who work with drug addicts / drug users are insufficient and the vocational training is not standardized. On the other hand, the ability of social workers who work with drug addicts / drug users workers is related to the effectiveness of anti-drug in communities. So the large sample survey will help to understand the current working status and working ability of social workers who work with drug addicts / drug users in China.The development of the standardized training programs for social workers who work with drug addicts / drug users can improve the professional knowledge and ability of anti-drug social workers, so as to better help community drug rehabilitation personnel and finally reduce the relapse rate.
The occurrence of pressure injuries mainly comes from disabled patients who are bedridden for a long time. According to a report from the Ministry of Health and Welfare, about one-tenth of chronic patients need to be bedridden for a long time, and pressure injuries account for the most in the comorbidities of bedridden for a long time. The main cause of pressure injury is the natural aging of the patient's body and long-term bed rest so that it is difficult to detect physical stress and cannot change the posture within an effective time to reduce the pressure, which is prone to pressure injury. The prevalence rates of stress injuries in various countries are 13-23% in the Netherlands, 10-15% in the United States, and 8-23% in Europe. In addition, studies have also shown that the prevalence of stress injuries in the elderly in the UK is 0.31-0.70%. The incidence rate is 0.18-3.36% and these two indicators are increasing year by year; in Taiwan, related surveys show that the prevalence rate of pressure injury in hospitalized patients is 7.53%, and the incidence rate of pressure injury in bedridden patients is 36.8%. According to a National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (NPUAP) survey, the prevalence rate of stress injuries in acute wards ranges from 0.1% to 17%, and the incidence rate is 0.4% to 38%. The prevalence of intensive care units The prevalence rate is higher than 41%, the incidence rate is higher than 33%, the prevalence rate of long-term care is 2.3% -28%, the prevalence rate is 2.2%-23.9%, the prevalence rate of nursing homes is 0% -29%, and the prevalence rate is 0%- 17%. In addition, NPUAP estimates in 1989 show that the average medical cost for each stress injury case ranges from 2,000 to 30,000 US dollars, while the medical cost for each stress injury patient in Taiwan is about NT 7,000 to 80,000. If the knowledge of stress injury prevention can be improved, the number of outpatient visits will be reduced, and the occurrence of stress injury will also be reduced. In summary, under the trend of aging development, stress injury management and care are important issues of medical quality.
