A Comparison of Virtual Reality and Traditional Audio-Recorded Hearing Voices Simulations: Their Impact on Empathy in Health Care Students
Nurs Educ Perspect. 2024 Apr 30. doi: 10.1097/01.NEP.0000000000001271. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTEmpathy is essential to the development of communication skills. Simulating psychosis to develop empathy for mental health patients is complex; we hypothesized that virtual reality (VR) would be effective in increasing empathy in health care students. This experimental study compared the effectiveness of a VR simulation with a traditional hearing voices simulation as measured by the Kiersma-Chen Empathy Scale-Revised. Twenty-five health care students were randomized into two groups. The results indicated that both simulated...

Taking High-Fidelity Simulation to the Next Level: Nursing in Nontraditional Environments
Nurs Educ Perspect. 2024 Apr 30. doi: 10.1097/01.NEP.0000000000001275. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTNurse educators must prepare nursing students to be competent first responders and providers in nontraditional situations. We developed a course that provides in-depth experiential instruction in disaster nursing, remote/austere nursing, and global health. The Nursing in Nontraditional Environments course provides nursing students with the knowledge and skills to provide quality care to patients in environments outside traditional hospitals and clinics. The course merges survival skills with austere care using evidence-base...

Moderating Effect of Trait Mindfulness in the Association Between Problematic Social Media Use and Anxiety Among Lebanese University Students
Conclusion: Findings open up possibilities for new therapeutic approaches when dealing with PSMU among university students. Although further longitudinal studies are required, we preliminarily suggest that the use of trait mindfulness-based interventions may help reduce anxiety levels in students who present with severe PSMU.Prim Care Companion CNS Disord 2024;26(2):23m03664.Author affiliations are listed at the end of this article.PMID:38684016 | DOI:10.4088/PCC.23m03664 (Source: The Primary Care Companion for CNS Disorders)

Quality and Effectiveness of AI Tools for Students and Researchers for Scientific Literature Review and Analysis
This study scrutinizes free AI tools tailored for supporting literature review and analysis in academic research, emphasizing their response to direct inquiries. Through a targeted keyword search, we cataloged relevant AI tools and evaluated their output variation and source validity. Our results reveal a spectrum of response qualities, with some tools integrating non-academic sources and others depending on outdated information. Notably, most tools showed a lack of transparency in source selection. Our study highlights two key limitations: the exclusion of commercial AI tools and the focus solely on tools that accept dire...

"Teaching capital"- a sociological analysis of medical educator portfolios for promotion
Adv Health Sci Educ Theory Pract. 2024 Apr 29. doi: 10.1007/s10459-024-10333-3. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMedical educator portfolios (MEP) are increasingly recognized as a tool for developing and documenting teaching performance in Health Professions Education. However, there is a need to better understand the complex interplay between institutional guidelines and how teachers decode those guidelines and assign value to teaching merits. To gain a deeper understanding of this dynamic, this study employed a sociological analysis to understand how medical educators aspiring to professorships use MEPs to display their tea...

Health Care Clinical Preceptors' Attitudes Towards Interprofessional Education in Saudi Arabia: A Cross-Sectional Study
CONCLUSION: The attitudes and perceptions of preceptors who had experienced IPE were more favorable toward IPE and thus may foster it more effectively in the students they work with. Therefore, ensuring that all preceptors are aware of and have experience with IPE is important as we seek to promote person-centered care.PMID:38680247 | PMC:PMC11048282 | DOI:10.2147/AMEP.S451938 (Source: Adv Data)

Stakeholder perspectives following implementation of Vietnam's first speech-language pathology degrees: recommendations for future curriculum development
CONCLUSIONS: Recommendations highlight the need for preparation, collaboration, support to manage challenges, flexibility, recognition for placement supervisors and high-quality interpreting. The recommendations are of relevance to other organisations engaged in development of professional degrees in Majority World countries. Future research would benefit from a critical investigation of the diverse perspectives of stakeholders involved in the development and implementation of international curricula.PMID:38682811 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2024.2346237 (Source: Disability and Rehabilitation)
