Teaching self-protection skills to persons with mental retardation.

A curriculum for teaching self-protection skills to eight adults with mild mental retardation was evaluated. The curriculum, which was presented in a small-group format across nine 25 to 30 minute sessions, uses instructions, modeling, rehearsal, feedback, and praise to teach skills needed to discriminate and safely respond to abduction and sexual abuse situations. Self-protection skills were assessed in in situ simulations involving solicitations from adults. Results showed that all but one subject learned the criterion skills and maintained them at a 6-month follow-up. Strengths and limitati…

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in an Australian teaching hospital.

A survey was undertaken of all isolations of methicillin-sensitive and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) at a large Australian teaching hospital over a 12 month period. All methicillin-resistant isolations obtained from the Casualty and Outpatient clinics were from staff members or patients with recent hospital contact. Twenty per cent of all methicillin-resistant isolations from in-patients were from specimens taken within 2 days of the patient's admission. Each of these patients had had hospital contact within the previous 4 months and it is assumed that the majority of them…

Comparison of methods of teaching children proper lifting techniques.

This study was designed to determine the effects of two teaching methods on children's ability to demonstrate and recall their mastery of proper lifting techniques. Seventy-six third and fifth grade public school children were divided by grade into three groups. Two of the groups (experimental) were taught the correct method for lifting a heavy object, either by lecture demonstration or guided discovery teaching format; one group (control) was not taught. The students' knowledge was measured pretest, one-week posttest, and eight-week posttest with a written and practical test. The students in …

Ассоциация гинекологов-преподавателей в области медицинского образования - обзор скопирования.

Экзамен по фону Pelvic является ядром, но в то же время вызывающим тревогу, клиническим навыком в высшем медицинском образовании. Традиционные подходы к преподаванию - зачастую оппортунистические или основанные на моделировании - подвергались критике за лишение технических навыков от реляционной и этической практики. В качестве альтернативной модели появились специально подготовленные педагоги, которые используют свои собственные тела для обучения и предоставления олицетворенной обратной связи. Цель этого аналитического обзора состояла в том, чтобы составить карту того, что известно о ПГС, чьи

BackgroundPelvic examination is a core, yet anxiety-provoking, clinical skill in undergraduate medical education. Traditional teaching approaches-often opportunistic or reliant on simulation-have been criticised for disembodying technical skill from relational and ethical practice. Gynaecology Teaching Associates (GTAs), trained educators who use their own b…

Integrating Spiritual Care Teaching Within the Australian Medical Curriculum.

BACKGROUND: Spiritual care has been shown to be an important component of holistic patient care. However, students have reported it missing … examination (OSCE) of a spiritual consultation using a standardised patient prior to and after the teaching episode. Students self-assessed confidence scales pre- and post-workshop. Student characteristics that might facilitate learning in this domain were assessed. RESULTS: Thirty-two final year medical students from four universities participated at tw …

Phaco + iStent implant learning curve in a teaching hospital.

PurposeiStent inject® W is a minimally invasive surgical device aimed at creating an alternative trabecular drainage of aqueous humour, reducing intraocular pressure (IOP). International reports already support efficacy and safety, but evidence is lacking about the early-stage learning curve for this device.SettingThis research was conducted in a teaching tertiary hospital in Lisbon, Portugal.DesignRetrospective study on the first 6 iStent inject® W implants performed by 6 certified ophthalmic surgeons.MethodsAll procedures were combined with cataract surgery (phaco + iStent inject® W). Primar…

Teaching NeuroImage: Clinical and Imaging Features of Cobb Syndrome.

A 17-year-old boy with typical neurodevelopment presented with 3 months of lower-limb weakness without a history of trauma. Physical examination, plain radiography and a T2-weighted MRI revealed a port-wine stain over the lumbar region, significant scoliosis below the cervical segment, and a multifocal flow void sign (steal phenomenon) from epidural space to dorso-lumbar spine, respectively (Figure 1). CT angiography identified an enhancing dorsal vascular mass with involvement of the spinal canal including destruction of the vertebral body determined to be extensive arteriovenous shunts on di

Confessions of a converted anatomist: teaching without anatomical donors.

In the field of anatomy education, the debate over the superiority of learning with or without human donors is decades long and ongoing. Arguments for or against the use of human donors in anatomy education vary, depending on the healthcare discipline. Physical therapy programs have been particularly resistant to the trend away from the use of human donors. In this personal view, I present my history of anatomy education and how my perspectives on teaching and learning anatomy have changed dramatically throughout my teaching experiences. The purpose of this article is to support instructors wh…

Neurophobia Among Medical Students: Is Virtual Teaching the Answer?

OBJECTIVE: Neurophobia is well recognized as dissuading medical students from neurocentric specialties and limiting the success of neurology and neurosurgery teaching at medical school. Past studies have associated neurophobia with deficiencies in medical education. We performed a cross-sectional analysis of medical students' confidence and perceived level of knowledge in recognizing the following neurosurgical and neurological emergencies: ischemic stroke, hemorrhagic stroke, status epilepticus, subarachnoid hemorrhage, increased intracranial pressure, acute hydrocephalus, spinal cord injury,…

What Is COVID 19 Teaching Us about Pulmonary Ultrasound?

In lung ultrasound (LUS), the interactions between the acoustic pulse and the lung surface (including the pleura and a small subpleural layer of tissue) are crucial. Variations of the peripheral lung density and the subpleural alveolar shape and its configuration are typically connected to the presence of ultrasound artifacts and consolidations. COVID-19 pneumonia can give rise to a variety of pathological pulmonary changes ranging from mild diffuse alveolar damage (DAD) to severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), characterized by peripheral bilateral patchy lung involvement. These f

Transitioning EPMA applications in a large multisite teaching hospital.

INTRODUCTION: University Hospitals of Leicester (UHL) has co-developed and deployed a novel Electronic Prescribing and Medicines Administration (EPMA) application as part of the trust electronic patient record (EPR) programme that meets specific clinical demands and interoperability standards of the National Health Service (NHS) despite clinical pressures from the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS: Following an initial limited pilot deployment, a big-bang whole site-based approach allowed transition of 1844 acute adult inpatients beds from an existing standalone EMPA to the new system.
