Educational Problems

The goal of this community-engaged research is two-fold. The first goal is to gather stakeholder feedback to inform a school-based community health worker intervention with youth with poor school attendance and an enhanced usual care condition. The second goal is to evaluate the feasibility of implementing the school-based community health worker intervention and enhanced usual care approach within rural schools. The main question it aims to answer is whether it is feasibile to recruit children with poor school attendance and their families to the intervention, to complete the trauma-informed intervention, and to complete the associated study measures of meeting social determinants of health/mental health needs, school-based health center utilization, and behavioral helath symptoms. At least 38 rural students in grades 6-12 with poor school attendance and their parents/guardians will meet with the school-based community health worker for support around social determinants of health needs that may be barriers to attendance. Researchers will also assess the feasibility of recruiting at least 10 rural students and their parents/guardians to complete the study measures in an enhanced usual care condition in which the school-based health center without a school-based community health worker is reminded of the availability of an online social services directory.

This prospective controlled clinical trial evaluates the effectiveness and safety of radial artery cannulation using the Seldinger technique under ultrasound guidance when performed by two different operator groups: experienced physicians and trained registered nurses. The study aims to determine whether a structured, competency-based training program enables nurses without prior experience in arterial cannulation to achieve comparable outcomes to physicians in terms of first-attempt success rate, procedural efficiency, and complication rates.

Since July 2024, the National Health Insurance Administration (NHIA) has been implementing a pilot Hospital-at-Home (HAH) Acute Care Program to curb hospital admissions. Point-of-Care Ultrasound (PoCUS) is considered the most promising imaging tool for this model. Replicating the hospital's familiar environment-its staffing patterns, diagnostic workflows, and medication protocols-in a patient's home or nursing facility is almost impossible, posing a major challenge to care teams. Medical-simulation training offers a solution, yet current PoCUS courses remain organ-based and lack scenario-based simulations that prepare physicians for HAH practice. This two-year study will create a PoCUS curriculum and outcome-assessment tools tailored to HAH, adapting previously validated Entrustable Professional Activities (EPA) instruments to three HAH scenarios: pneumonia, urinary tract infection, and soft-tissue infection. Year 1 will develop scenario-based simulation courses and matching EPA tools, and train peer instructors who receive full PoCUS instruction for the three scenarios. Year 2 will randomly assign learners to compare two teaching models-peer training with remote supervision and scenario simulation versus traditional PoCUS training-evaluated with an Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) scored by EPA forms across multiple domains. The project aims to establish normative standards for PoCUS training and assessment in HAH, confirm the feasibility of peer training with remote supervision, and provide a platform to train HAH medical teams nationwide, including those in rural areas.

This study is a single-center, randomized, open-label, controlled, endpoint-blinded study to assess the effect of off-script diagnosis \& differential diagnosis (D\&D) training in improving the residents' knowledge of acute ischemic stroke in China. The investigators will enroll 22 residents and assess the score of mASMaQ 30 days after randomization.

Resin printing is an emerging technology with a wide array of applications. This research seeks to assess the practicality of incorporating 3D resin printed models into anatomy education while investigating how fractured models impact students' decision-making and quiz scores.

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.

This study aims to investigate the effect of mandala coloring activity on test anxiety of nursing students.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the impact of virtual reality (VR) model for pelvic floor anatomy on users' educational level and experience.

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.

This Cross-Sectional Study aims to evaluate the dental educational environment in Upper Egypt using the Dundee Ready Education Environment Measure (DREEM) Questionnaire.

706 / 5.000 The aim of the study is to examine the effects of Electronic Fetal Monitoring (EFM) (a test that evaluates fetal health during pregnancy) training given to midwifery students through peer education method on the knowledge, skills and self-efficacy levels of the students. It is being conducted as an experimental study with a randomized controlled pre-test-post-test design. Students were given standard training on EFM. Students in the peer teaching group were given peer education. Students continue to be evaluated while applying EFM to pregnant women in clinical practice. Personal information form, achievement test for EFM, skill form and Electronic Fetal Monitoring Self-Efficacy Scale were used in the evaluation of the students.

This research aims to evaluate the effect of Touchpoint experience as a clinical learning method on clinical learning. The research is a quasi-experimental research with experimental-control groups. Students will be divided into experimental and control groups with the "simple randomization" method. A pre-test will be taken with data collection tools before the study for both groups. Students in the control group will continue their routine practice experiences. A post-test will be applied with data collection tools at the end of the 8-week internship period. TouchPoint is planned as a 2-session experience over a semester: Session 1 focuses on patient-centered care, Session 2 focuses on teamwork and collaboration. The method of both sessions will be conducted by 2 researchers with a small clinical group of 8 to 10 students. Sessions will last from 1.5 hours to 2 hours depending on the number of students and the degree of discussion. Sessions will be conducted face-to-face in a classroom.

The aim of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a multifactorial education and support program for the prevention of cancer-related cachexia syndrome, for patients and their family caregivers during anti-cancer treatment.
