In standard cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), rescuers switch between ventilation and chest compressions. We examined the effect of this task-switching requirement on chest-compression quality to gain insights into cognitive mechanisms underlying performance in CPR. Understanding these can help development evidence-based practical implications aids for A total 300 first-year medical dentistry students (212 females, 20.2 ± 4.4 years) participated randomized controlled trial. They received...
Perioperative anxiety is a major burden to patients undergoing surgeries with general anesthesia.
Objectives Promoting resilience, the ability to withstand and overcome challenging situations, is crucial for maintaining performance of healthcare systems. Unique challenges faced by facilities in border regions render them particularly vulnerable during crises, emphasizing need promote resilience these areas. The current study evaluated state needs professionals a representative European region. Methods All hospitals emergency medical care services Euregio Meuse-Rhine (Germany, Belgium,...
Learning and training basic life support (BLS)-especially external chest compressions (ECC) within the BLS-algorithm-are essential resuscitation for laypersons as well health care professionals. The objective of this study was to evaluate influence learning styles on performance BLS identify whether all types learners are sufficiently addressed by Peyton's four-step approach training.A group first-year medical students (n = 334) without previous knowledge categorized according using German...
Während einer Pandemie muss Resilienz nicht nur als Eigenschaft des Gesundheitssystems, sondern auch umgebenden Forschungsumfelds betrachtet werden. Um verlässliche, evidenzbasierte Empfehlungen aus der Universitätsmedizin an die Gesundheitspolitik und Entscheidungsträger bereitstellen zu können, müssen wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse schnell, integrativ multidisziplinär generiert, synthetisiert kommuniziert Die öffentlichen Gesundheitssysteme Gesundheitsforschungssysteme sind somit eng...
The quality of external chest compressions (ECC) is primary importance within basic life support (BLS). Recent guidelines delineate the so-called 4"-step approach" for teaching practical skills resuscitation training guided by a certified instructor. objective this study was to evaluate whether "media-supported 4-step BLS leads equal performance compared standard approach.After baseline testing, 220 laypersons were either trained using widely accepted method (4-step approach) or newly...
Abstract Background: Medical emergencies in dental practice are generally perceived as being rare. Nonetheless, recent studies have shown that incidents occur on a regular basis. Therefore, patients the right to expect necessary skills manage life‐threatening situations from every dentist. Objective: To observe students’ attitude and self‐assessment towards emergency medical care (EMC) its practical appliance. Material methods: Students of dentistry took part small group sessions for adult...
Women pursuing a career in surgery or related disciplines are still the minority, despite fact that women compose at least half of medical student population most Western countries. Thus, recruiting and retaining female surgeons remains an important challenge to meet need for increase quality care. The participations were students between their third fifth academic year. In this study, we applied well-established psychological theory planned behavior (TPB) which suggests intention perform...
To develop, by consultation with an expert group, agreed learning outcomes for the teaching of handoff to medical students using group concept mapping.In 2013, authors used mapping, a structured mixed-methods approach, applying both quantitative and qualitative measures identify group's common understanding about training in handoff. Participants from four European countries generated sorted ideas, then rated themes importance difficulty achieve. The research team applied multidimensional...
Background Cross-border healthcare is complex, increasingly frequent and causes potential risks for patient safety. In this context, cross-border handovers or the transfer of patients from one country to another deserves particular attention. Although general handover has been topic extensive research, little known about challenges across national borders, especially as perceived by stakeholders. study, we aimed gain insight into professionals’ perspectives on ways support this. Methods We...
Within cardiopulmonary resuscitation external chest compressions (ECC) are of outstanding importance. Frequent training in Basic Life Support (BLS) may improve the performance, but perfect method or environment is still a matter research. The objective this study was to evaluate whether practical performance and retention skills be influenced by gender composition learning groups. Participants were allocated three groups for standardized BLS-training: Female group (F): only female...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact students preexisting anatomic proficiency address fundamental problems related musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSUS) training by assessing peer-assisted learning (PAL) system.Students without knowledge (first semester, n = 38) and in their fourth semester medical school (n 49) were randomly assigned two groups: 1) PAL group - teaching a three minimally trained student-teachers 2) Staff taught ultrasound-experienced operators. Sessions included...
In medical education, there are often several didactic methods for teaching and learning a specific skill. For educators, pragmatic reasons to decide one or another of them, such as costs, infrastructural requirements, time expenditure qualification the teacher. However, central aspect consider is outcome: Does new method achieve similar success an established standard method? To answer this question, we need appropriate assess comparability outcomes.In paper, present two essential...
Objective: The AIXTRA Competence Center for Training and Patient Safety at RWTH Aachen University has developed a concept to enable learning of communication skills with simulated persons (SP) digitally. Methodology: Existing SP cases in curricular teaching were checked digital applicability modified. Digital seminars the methodology conversations SP, planned 690 students courses history taking, 6th semester, psychiatry, 8th clinical competence course, 10th conducted via video conferencing...
Objective The aim of this study was to implement and evaluate a newly developed standardised handover curriculum for medical students. We sought assess its effect on students’ awareness, confidence knowledge regarding handover. Design A controlled educational research study. Setting pilot training integrated into led by the Departments Anesthesiology Intensive Care (AI) at University Hospital. It consisted three modules 4-week course AI. Multiple types settings namely end-of-shift, operating...
Introduction: Telemedicine is a significant component of healthcare in most disciplines, giving great importance to the education young physicians this field. However, topic telemedicine has not yet been implemented medical schools' curricula. This paper makes an important contribution closing gap by designing, implementing and evaluating course with telemedical components. Using example clinical traineeship preparation course, we investigated extent which integrated modules can contribute...
Introduction Training Basic Life Support saves lives. However, current BLS training approaches are time-consuming and costly. Alternative cost-efficient effective methods highly needed. The present study evaluated whether a video-feedback supported peer-guided approach achieves similar practical performance as standard instructor-guided in laypersons. Methods In randomized controlled non-inferiority trial, 288 first-year medical students were to two arms with different methods: 1) Standard...
Background Sustaining Basic Life Support (BLS) training during the COVID-19 pandemic bears substantial challenges. The limited availability of highly qualified instructors and tight economic conditions complicates delivery these life-saving trainings. Consequently, innovative resource-efficient approaches are needed to minimize or eliminate contagion while maintaining high standards managing learner anxiety related infection risk. Methods In a non-inferiority trial 346 first-year medical,...
