Correlation Between the Cortical Activation Studied by Functional Near Infrared Spectroscopy Neuroimaging (fNIRS) With Performance of 3rd Grade Students

The cortical activation and performance of 3rd grade students were investigated using Functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) during reading Arabic language. The main cortical activation parameter tested was hemoglobin difference (HbDiff), while the performance was evaluated according to the number of committed errors and latency. The recorded HbDiff concentrations for the typically developed (TD) were significantly higher (0.05) than that of students with dyslexia (Dys), confirming higher brain activities for TD students. TD students committed less errors and need less time to finish the task. Moreover, Pearson correlation analysis performed showed that there was a negative correlation between cortical activation parameters and performance. Limited studies explored the use of fNIRS to investigate the cortical activation of Arabic students' brains or correlated between the cortical activation and performance variables. Therefore, this current research is novel and showed the potential utilization of the fNIRS in the field of educational neuroscience.

Learning Effects of Mechanical Ventilator/Tracheal Suctioning XR Simulators and Extracting Decision Making Criteria to Introduce a Novel Simulator

Researchers have developed Simmar+ESTE-SIM, a XR simulator that can train the multitask of “endotracheal suctioning for a patient with a mechanical-ventilator’’ as part of support for Technology-dependent children in the community. In this study, we conducted a questionnaire after using the simulator with the aim of extracting the learning effects of the simulator and judgment indicators when introducing a new simulator, based on feedback from 4th grade university students and the faculty members. As a result, both groups tended to score low on the question of whether the content was appropriate for learning in the third year, but the scores were generally high, at 3.0 or higher. The training task “endotracheal suctioning for a patient with mechanical respirator” was slightly early in 3rd grade students, and the appropriate timing was shown to be for 4th grade students. Principal component analysis extracts two principal components: “Balance between learning content difficulty and motivation (Achievability)” and “Balance between learning time, cost, and learning effect (Feasibility)”. These two factors were thought to be the promoting and inhibiting factors when introducing a simulator. The future challenge is to popularize the simulator education program which is both achievable and feasible to improve the quality of care for children with home-ventilators and their families.

The article discusses the recontextualization of language, through storytelling, in literacy to overcome student learning difficulties, based on teacher training. The aim is to identify relevant aspects in storytelling that enhance the learning of students in the process of literacy. Thus, we established a dialogue between different perspectives on literacy to recontextualize written language. The case study included the application of pre- and post-tests to 3rd grade students in the Canoas/RS municipal school system, training for the teachers of these students and pedagogical practices. Based on the data analyzed quantitatively, we found that storytelling makes it possible to explore and construct different situations, contextualizing written language in the expression of meanings and the construction of hypotheses, as well as problematizing everyday life through the stories experienced.

Knowledge, Attitude and Practices Regarding Antibiotics usages among Medical Students at Zawia University

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a serious threat to global public health. It increases morbidity and mortality, and is associated with high economic costs due to its health care burden. Medical students are particularly important since they will be the future leaders in clinic practice, responsible for antibiotic prescription and communication about antibiotic use with their patients. In this study we aimed to understand knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) with respect to antibiotic use among medical students in faculty of medicine, Zawia University. This is a cross-sectional design; it was undertaken in Faculty of Medicine during October and November: 2023. The questionnaire was administered to students in (III 3rd and IV 4th grades). All data were analyzed using Statistical Package for Minitab program. Majority of the respondents were female with ages of 22 years. Higher percentage of 4th-grade students (95.5%) correctly accepting the need to stop antibiotic use compared to 3rd-grade students (27.9%, p < 0.001). On other hand with a higher percentage of 4th-grade students reporting using non-prescribed antibiotics rarely compared to 3rd-grade students (46.3% for 4th grade and 69.8% for 3rd grade, p = 0.003). this study exposed an important awareness concerning the separate between medical students’ knowledge about antimicrobial resistance, and appalling attitudes and practices towards antibiotics use.

Prevalence and Influencing Factors of Body-focused Repetitive Behaviors in Turkish Medical Students

Background/Aims: Body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs) such as skin-picking, trichotillomania, nail-picking, nail-biting, lip-biting and skin-biting have adverse physical and psychological effects. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and associated factors of BFRBs in a sample of Turkish medical students. Methods: An online survey was used to investigate the prevalence of six BFRBs —skin-picking, trichotillomania, nail-biting, nail-picking, lip-biting and skin-biting-- and psychological factors such as anxiety, depression, stress levels, impulsivity and difficulties in emotional regulation (DER) in a sample of 200 medical students. Skin Picking Scale-Revised (SPS-R), Massachusetts General Hospital Hairpulling Scale (MGH-HPS), Depression Anxiety Stress Scales-21 (DASS-21), Barratt Impulsiveness Scale–Short Form and Difficulty in Emotion Regulation Scale—Brief Form and specific questions for four BFRBs (nail-picking, nail-biting, lip biting and skin biting) were administered. Results: The prevalence of at least one BFRB disorder was 28.0% (n=56). The most common diagnoses were skin-picking (17.0%) and trichotillomania (10.5%), followed by skin-picking (9.0%), lip biting (8.5%), nail-picking (7%) and nail-biting (5.0%). The gender difference was found only in skin-picking disorders (females=22.9%; males=8.5%). Students with BFRB disorder (n=56) were found to have higher levels of anxiety, depression, stress, impulsivity and DER. Students in 2nd, 3rd and 5th grade are more likely to have BFRB disorders than interns. DER was a partial mediating variable between impulsivity and the presence of BFRB disorder. Conclusions: The findings of the study suggest that BFRBs are common among medical students and that these behaviors are associated with psychological factors such as depression, anxiety, stress levels, impulsivity and difficulties in emotion regulation. Screening programs and intervention strategies for BFRBs in medical students should be developed, and it is recommended that psychological factors should be considered in these interventions, emotion regulation and stress management skills should be significantly improved, and comorbid depression and anxiety should be treated.

Mental health of nursing students regarding the Moroccan earthquake: A cross-sectional study

ObjectiveIn addition to the economic and social impact, mental health issues are one of health needs during natural disaster such as earthquake. Thus, surveillance for mental health variables is crucial for public health planning. Nursing students as professional students may be particularly vulnerable to adverse mental health effects after an earthquake because of their potential role in emergency response and the challenges associated with providing medical care in crisis conditions. The aim of this research was to assess the mental health of students after six months of the Moroccan earthquake and associated factors. MethodA cross-sectional survey of student nurses was conducted on March 2024; six months after the Moroccan earthquake in front to 261 students using class sampling method. Three validated psychometric measures, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PCL-C), Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21), and The Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) were used to assess the nursing student mental health after Moroccan earthquake. ResultsAnxiety, Depression, Stress and abnormal post-traumatic stress rank was present respectively in 44.8%, 37.1%, 7.7%, 61.3% of participants. However, a minority of students obtained the high resilience score (13.8%). The results showed that the DAS scale correlated negatively with age (p = 0.034). Furthermore, the female gender, 3rd grade students (as final year for the nursing diploma) and those who had lost a family member in the natural disaster obtained higher medians with a significant difference in the DAS scale score (p < 0.05). The post-traumatic stress scale was only affected by material damage (p = 0.044). However, the high level of scores resilience obtained significantly for students living with their families. In contrast, no association between the mental health of nursing students and attending the phenomenon or living near earthquake foci. ConclusionThis study has demonstrated the crucial need to train healthcare providers in emotion management in the event of a natural disaster, and to launch a priori initiatives, particularly with regard to the mental health of students in health universities, in order to prepare them psychologically for any intervention in the case of an alert.

Investigation of Candidate Teachers' Early Teacher Identity with Public Personnel Selection Examination Anxiety Levels

In this research aims to examine the candidate teacher's identity with Public Personnel Selection Examination (PPSE) anxiety levels. The research included 302 candidate physical education teachers (140 female and 162 male) aged between 21 and 28 (23.95±1.54). “Personal Information Form,” “Early Teacher Identity Scale (ETIS),” and “Public Personnel Selection Examination Anxiety Level Scale (PPSEALS)” were used as data collection tools in the research. According to the data obtained from the research, there was no significant correlation between the candidate teachers' PPSEALS scores and the ETIS scores. A significant difference existed between candidate teachers' grade levels with PPSEALS scores and ETIS scores. Compared to 3rd-grade and graduate students, 4th-grade students scored higher on the PPSEALS and ETIS. Although there was a significant difference between PPSEALS scores according to gender, there was no significant difference in terms of ETIS scores. According to this, women have higher PPSEALS scores compared to men. According to academic achievement status, no significant difference was found between the scores of PPSEALS and ETIS. The results obtained from the research revealed that candidate teachers have PPSE anxiety at a medium level and teacher Identity perception at a high level. As a result, it can be said that 4th-grade students' high perception of teacher identity leads to higher levels of test anxiety.

Movement, my favourite thing: children’s perceptions of movement integration in school

ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to explore elementary-aged students’ feelings, emotions and experiences with movement integration (MI) in the classroom. Focus group interviews (n = 6) with 3rd-grade students (N = 34; n = 19 female) and 140 draw-and-write prompts (n = 49 before MI, n = 48 during MI, and n = 43 after MI) were collected. Inductive thematic analysis of the interview transcripts and draw-and-write written responses and illustrations were used to determine patterns, codes, categories and eventual themes. The three overarching themes represented are characterised by student perspectives of MI participation: (a) pleasant affective experiences, (b) unpleasant affective experiences and (c) student wishes. Students enjoyed a variety of MI that included opportunities for socialisation and engagement in lower-intensity MI. In addition, students advocated for several MI activities throughout the school day and teacher engagement during MI to increase their self-efficacy. Furthermore, extended periods of sitting make students physically and emotionally uncomfortable, and socially disconnected from the class.
