Background Parents often use digital media to search for information related their children’s health. As the quantity and quality of sources meant specifically parents expand, parents’ health literacy is increasingly important process they retrieve. One earliest developed widely used instruments assess self-reported eHealth Literacy Scale (eHEALS). However, eHEALS has not been psychometrically validated in a sample parents. Given inconsistency underlying factor structure across previous...
This short report aims to bring evidence from modern psychometric methods bear on a popularly deployed questionnaire in interprofessional education (IPE) assessment. Specifically, three interrelated problems raised against the Readiness for Interprofessional Learning Scale (RIPLS) are examined study with 280 medical and nursing student participants. Firstly, findings support RIPLS overall reliability, but fail subscale reliabilities. Secondly, indicate strong, general factor underlying that...
Contemporary practice in interprofessional education (IPE) has evolved predominantly focusing on the competencies for collaboration (IPC) that learners must acquire. Competencies educators need to successfully deliver IPC have been overlooked. This lack of attention is further confounded by a field replete with inconsistent terminology and standards no global consensus core needed IPE facilitation. There are globally accepted tools assess educators’ nor there established training programmes...
Research attention has been paid to providing evidence on undergraduate/pre-licensure health sciences students' interprofessional education competency requirements, placements, and attainment. Although facilitator training identified as critical learner outcomes, scant research examined student perceptions of valued competencies. This short report investigates views important attributes for facilitation using a cross-sectional observation-survey design. A survey was conducted in...
Future time perspective (FTP) is defined as "perceptions of the future being limited or open-ended" (Lang and Carstensen, 2002; p. 125). The construct figures prominently in both workplace retirement domains, but age-predictions are competing: Workplace research predicts decreasing FTP age-change, contrast, scholars predict increasing age-change. For first time, these competing predictions pitted an experimental manipulation subjective life expectancy (SLE). A sample N = 207 older adults...
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to reexamine exploration-exploitation’s reciprocality in organizational ambidexterity (OA) research. OA figures prominently a variety organization science phenomena. Introduced as two-stage model for innovation, theory specifies reciprocal reinforcement between the processes exploration (eR) and exploitation (eT). In study, authors argue that previous analyses necessarily neglect favor conceptualizations conform common statistical techniques....
Introduction Mental health literacy is receiving increasing research attention due to growing concerns for mental globally. Among children, teachers have recently been recognized as playing a vital role in the recognition and reporting of potential issues. Methods A nationally sampled cross-section was surveyed examine discriminant validity measure across levels teaching. survey collected total n = 369 teacher responses Switzerland (Kindergarten 76, Primary 210, Secondary 83). Item response...
As interprofessional education (IPE) continues to be instituted, much attention has been paid training-intervention effectiveness. Less the selection side of IPE model; however, efficient delivery is necessary sustain development IPE. This short report investigates "two big social cognitions" (agency and communion) as individual-difference predictors attitude change knowledge acquisition. A 3-week before–after observational design with survey methodology was conducted in a pre-licensure...
Introduction The setting demands imposed by performing in new, interdisciplinary cultures is common for modern healthcare workers. Both health science students and evidence-based workers are required to operate professional that differ from their own. As organisations have placed increasing value on mindfulness improving performance outcomes, so too educational administrators embraced common, mindful competencies training improved patient outcomes. of future clinicians diversified care....
Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) indicators are patient-reported outcomes (PROs). PROs defined as any report the status a patient's health condition or behaviour that comes directly from patient, without interpretation response by clinician anyone else. Despite Swiss national bodies (FOPH, FMH) recognising potential PRO measures (PROMs) for improving system, no consensus has yet emerged regarding generic PROM framework specific domains practical uptake. The aim present digital Delphi...
The goal of this single case study was to qualitatively investigate the effects animal-assisted therapy in a patient minimally conscious state.We present 28-year-old female state following polytrauma after sports accident leading cerebral fat embolism causing multiple CNS ischemic lesions. She received eight sessions and paralleled control over 4 weeks. We investigated reactions during these via qualitative behavior analysis.The showed broader variability higher quality compared sessions.The...
Use of stepped wedge design (SWD) trials have increased exponentially over the past decade (Hooper & Eldridge, 2020). Concomitantly, due to increasing prevalence neck pain in workforce, interventions are necessary and be evaluated. Stepped-wedge designs adaptive, so they can should adjust externalities. For example, COVID-19 pandemic introduces a period effect that could perturb design. To understand SWD`s potential vulnerability secular trend (or other future conductance), we compare...
Although Item Response Theory (IRT) has been recommended for helping advance interprofessional education (IPE) research, its use remains limited. This may be partly explained by potential misconceptions regarding IRT`s "limitation" to cross-sectional data. The aim of this study is demonstrate how can applied effectively in before-and-after designs IPE research. Specifically, a two-week before-after design with survey methodology using the Extended Professional Identity Scale (EPIS), an...
This commentary article was initially motivated by an empirical paper published in the journal of Work, Aging, and Retirement that reported support for stability (non-decreasing) future time perspectives (FTP) over two repeated-measurements. That is, evidence supporting temporal adapted measure (occupational-FTP [O-FTP]) serves as guiding framework demonstrating limitations classical test theory (CTT) modern psychometrics' (IRT) enabling extension stronger substantive inferences from...
