Filter by:The goal of this trial is to test a debriefing protocol to improve non-technical skills (NTS) in medical students. The study aims to answer the following questions: - Does a debriefing intervention improve medical students' NTS? - Does the intervention have an impact on the students' performance in simulated scenarios? Participants in the study will be randomly assigned to one of the teams, each consisting of a trauma team leader and three assistants. The teams will rotate across four different scenarios, allowing participants to switch roles and act as team leaders. The intervention teams will be debriefed using the study protocol, while the control groups will receive standard technical feedback without focusing on NTS. The primary outcome measure will be the Non-Technical Skills for Surgeons (NOTSS) score, which is a validated assessment tool for NTS. Secondary outcome measures include the number of correct interventions performed in each scenario. The study will involve 40 medical students, and the sample size was determined based on previous studies and statistical considerations. A panel of health educators will define the debriefing protocol, and the trial has been approved by the McGill Research Ethics Board office. The study findings are expected to contribute significantly to the training of providers of trauma care for children worldwide. By exploring the impact of debriefing on NTS in pediatric trauma education, this project aims to fill a critical gap in current training models.
The Norwegian government is implementing the Nurse Family Partnership program (NFP) to combat child abuse and social inequality. This study will examine NFP with an individually randomized controlled parallel-group trial. The study will enroll 700 mothers over two years, with half receiving NFP services and the other half receiving standard care. The primary outcome is violence towards mothers and their children, assessed through questionnaires and observation tests. The study will also evaluate the program's effects on various health-related outcomes using administrative data. Cost-effectiveness analyses will be conducted to compare NFP to existing services and improve its delivery efficiency.
This study will evaluate the effectiveness of smartphone Virtual Reality Pain Alleviation Therapy (VR-PAT) as a pain distraction tool during repeated at-home burn dressing changes among 100 children (age 6-17 years) with a burn injury in comparison to 100 children with a burn injury who do not use the VR-PAT.
The project aims to provide an overview of injury and illnesses during the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022. All teams are invited to participate and record details on time-loss injury and illness occurrence and training and match exposure during the tournament. In order to assess the severity of injuries (based on the length of time a player is unable to play for), all injuries are to be monitored until they are fully rehabilitated, even if this is after the end of the tournament. This information will be recorded by the team physicians and provided on daily report forms to the research team. Data will be encrypted before analysis and only anonymized data will be published. Descriptive statistics are used to provide an overview of the participant demographics and injury and illness occurrence. Injury incidence is calculated as number of injuries per 1000 hours of exposure, and injury burden is calculated as time-loss days per 1000 hours of exposure. Injury incidence and burden will be reported for training and match injuries separately. Illness incidence is calculated per 365 exposure days.
The goal of this study is to pilot test a skills-based virtual reality (VR) for acute orthopedic injury. It will measure the feasibility, signals of improvement, exploratory pain mechanisms, and user experience of an established skills-based program (RelieveVRx) for acute orthopedic injury.
Background: Patients undergoing surgery are at risk of developing pressure injuries since they remain in a fixed position on the operating table under anesthesia for a long time. In the management of surgical patients, the prevention of surgical pressure injuries is the best strategy, requiring effective risk assessment and timely implementation of preventive interventions. Aim: To evaluate the effect of preoperative and postoperative patient repositioning other than intraoperative positions on the development of pressure injuries. H1 Hypothesis: In the preoperative and postoperative periods, there is a significant difference in the development of pressure injuries between patients who have been repositioned using non-surgical positions compared to those that did not undergo this intervention. Methods: This study has been designed as a prospective randomized controlled trial. Patients meeting the inclusion criteria of the trial will be allocated to the intervention and control groups using a random number generator. The participants to be assigned to the intervention group will be placed in different positions other than their surgical positions on the night before surgery and until the first 36 hours after the operation, while the control group will only receive routine care. The groups will be evaluated in terms of pressure injury development for at least 72 hours until the end of the postoperative sixth day or discharge from the hospital.
Rink Hockey is a sport played on a 40*20 metres rink characterized by combined periods of high intensity and short breaks, there´s a lack of epidemiological studies in this field. In line with the well-established model of sports injury prevention research proffered by van Mechelen, the first stage in this process is establishing the extent of the problem i.e. injury incidence, severity and burden.
The primary objective is to provide an overview of the incidence and characteristics of time-loss injuries and illnesses during the FIFA U-20 and U-17 Women's World Cups in 2022.
Background: Despite surgical reconstruction and rehabilitation, individuals after a primary anterior cruciate ligament injury have a significantly increased risk of relapse. The mechanisms for this increased risk may go beyond mere physiological and biomechanical changes of the reconstructed anterior cruciate ligament. The loss of ligamentous mechanoreceptors can affect sensory feedback and consequently result in a disrupted afferent input to the central nervous system. However, research on the neuroplasticity of the central nervous system after anterior cruciate ligament injury and more specifically on the cooperation between different brain areas (=functional connectivity) in motor execution and performance is limited. Research purpose: To investigate the changes in terms of functional connectivity in the brain after sustaining an anterior cruciate ligament injury and associated reconstruction? Population: - Patients after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction - Healthy controls Protocol: First, all participants are required to complete several questionnaires regarding the level of anxiety and the functioning of the knee in daily activities and sports. In addition, during the baseline testing, participants will be required to perform an experiment while electrical brain activity is recorded by means of an electroencephalography (EEG) measurement. During this experiment, the participants will have to successively perform the following exercises: 10x knee extension from sitting (left and right), 10x bipodal squat from standing, 5x 30 seconds unipodal standing (left and right). The above protocol will be administered to the patient group for the first time 8 weeks after the anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. When the patients do not need further rehabilitation, they will be invited a second time to execute the same protocol again. The control group will only have to carry out the above protocol once. Finally, for one year after the last test, the patient group will be contacted monthly to monitor return to sport and the occurrence of injuries.
Primary goal of the research is to determine whether injury/illness occurrence is influenced by the academic, training and competition loads, as well as the overall load (sum of academic/work, training and competition loads) in elite handball athletes To examine whether subjective measures of perceived overall stress correlate with objectively measured levels of stress. Determine the benefits of certain biomarkers to monitor stress, load and injury/illness occurrence in athletes.
