Abstract Context Feedback conversations play a central role in health professions workplace learning. However, learners face dilemma: if they engage productive learning behaviours (such as asking questions, raising difficulties, offering opinions or contesting ideas), risk exposing their limitations offending the educator. This highlights importance of psychological safety encouraging to candidly interactive dialogue and co‐construction knowledge. Previous research has recommended that...
Educators often struggle when teaching cellular and molecular processes because typically they have only two-dimensional tools to teach something that plays out in four dimensions. Learning research has demonstrated visualizing three dimensions aids learning, animations are effective visualization for novice learners aid with long-term memory retention. The World Wide Web Instructional Committee at North Dakota State University used these results as an inspiration develop a suite of...
The argument for integrating interprofessional education (IPE) activities into the workplace has been made concurrently with call collaborative clinical practice. An exploratory case study investigation of existing in a large metropolitan health care network was undertaken to inform development future IPE initiatives. Purposive sampling invited clinicians involved design or delivery participate semi-structured interview discuss their programs and opportunities challenges facing work....
People with dementia have unique palliative and end-of-life needs. However, access to quality care for people living in nursing homes is often suboptimal. There a recognised need home staff training dementia-specific equip them knowledge skills deliver high care.
Objectives: To determine the incidence of major hemorrhage and stroke in people aged 76 older with atrial fibrillation on adjusted‐dose warfarin who had been recently admitted to hospital. Design: A retrospective observational cohort study. Setting: healthcare network involving four tertiary hospitals. Participants: Two hundred thirty‐five patients a between July 1, 2001, June 30, 2002, were enrolled. Measurements: Information regarding bleeding episodes, strokes, use was obtained from...
Recent reports calling for change in undergraduate biology education have resulted the redesign of many introductory courses. Reports on one common to course structure, active-learning environment, placed an emphasis student preparation, noting that positive outcomes active learning classroom depend greatly how well prepares before class. As a possible preparatory resource, we test efficacy module developed Virtual Cell Animation Collection. This presents concepts meiosis interactive,...
BACKGROUND Regional nerve blocks ideally provide safe and effective post-operative pain control, decrease opiate requirements, enhance recovery from intense following major thoracic, abdominal, musculoskeletal surgeries. The erector spinae plane block, a recently described novel treatment for chronic neuropathic acute after thoracic surgery, can be performed with in infiltration placement of continuous infusion catheter deep to the muscle at tip transverse process, resulting diffusion local...
Verbal feedback plays a critical role in health professions education but it is not clear which components of effective have been successfully translated from the literature into supervisory practice workplace, and not. The purpose this study was to observe systematically analyse educators' behaviours during authentic episodes contemporary clinical practice. Educators learners videoed themselves formal sessions routine hospital training. Researchers compared published set 25 educator...
A cell is a minifactory in which structures and molecules are assembled, rearranged, disassembled, packaged, sorted, transported. Because cellular invisible to the human eye, students often have difficulty conceptualizing dynamic nature of cells that function at multiple scales across time space. To represent these processes, Virtual Cell Productions team North Dakota State University develops freely available multimedia materials support molecular biology learning inside outside high school...
Many people with advanced dementia live in residential aged care homes. Care home staff need the knowledge and skills to provide high-quality end-of-life (EOL) care. However, several studies have found EOL be suboptimal, reported they would benefit from training palliative dementia. Simulation offers an immersive learning environment has been shown improve learners' skills. there is little research on simulation for staff. This article presents development evaluation protocol of IMproving...
Abstract Background Face-to-face feedback plays an important role in health professionals’ workplace learning. The literature describes guiding principles regarding effective but it is not clear how to enact these. We aimed create a Feedback Quality Instrument (FQI), underpinned by social constructivist perspective, assist educators collaborating with learners support learner-centred interactions. In earlier research, we developed set of observable educator behaviours designed promote...
The transition between extended hospitalization and discharge home to community-living contexts for older adults is a critical time period. This can have an impact on the health outcomes of such as increasing risk like falls, functional decline depression anxiety. aim this work identify understand why experience symptoms anxiety post-discharge what factors are associated with this. mixed methods study aged 65 years over who experienced period longer than two weeks return post-discharge....
With the recent rise of alternative instructional methodologies such as flipped classrooms and active learning, many core concepts are being introduced outside classroom prior to scheduled class meeting times. One popular means for external concept introduction in undergraduate biology courses is use stand-alone online learning modules. Using a group four large introductory course sections, we investigate module developed using animations from Virtual Cell Animation Collection resource...
Abstract The use of external representations (ERs) to introduce concepts in undergraduate biology has become increasingly common. Two the most prevalent are static images and dynamic animations. While previous studies comparing animations have resulted somewhat conflicting findings regards learning outcomes, benefits each been shown individually. Using ERs developed by Virtual Cell Animation project, we aim further investigate student using different as part an introductory lecture. We focus...
Background: Increasing demand for palliative care unit (PCU) admissions has led to a stronger focus on discharge planning. This resulted in shorter inpatient length of stays (LOS), and stable patients not requiring specialist services being referred placement residential aged facilities (RACFs). The process is time-consuming can be distressing families, so RACF should only proposed whose prognosis relatively good (i.e., weeks months). Objective: Our aim was identify the outcomes inpatients...
