Perspectives of physicians and medical assistants on the implementation of NAAT-based point-of-care testing for SARS-CoV-2 in primary care in Germany

IntroductionGiven their high diagnostic accuracy and fast turnaround time, rapid SARS-CoV-2 tests based on nucleic acid amplification technologies (NAAT) have great potential to expand access to testing and decrease delays in diagnosis of COVID-19. ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to investigate feasibility, acceptance, organizational consequences and other implementation aspects of the use of a NAAT-based SARS-CoV-2 rapid test (ID NOW™ COVID-19, Abbott Diagnostics) for symptomatic primary care patients with a suspected SARS-CoV-2 infection. MethodsCross-sectional survey among primary care physicians and medical assistants from Thuringia (Germany) during the third wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in March and April 2021. The health care providers surveyed had previously used the NAAT-based SARS-CoV-2 rapid test as part of a pilot study. ResultsEleven physicians (ten general practitioners and one paediatrician) and 22 medical assistants from Thuringia (Germany) participated in the written survey. Four physicians were additionally interviewed. The majority of the surveyed health care providers rated user-friendliness, integration into practice routine, impact on communication with patients and technical reliability of the NAAT-based SARS-CoV-2 rapid test as (very) positive. Greater workload and the costs for measuring devices were identified as disadvantages compared to PCR laboratory tests. Four out of ten physicians rated the lower sample turnover as unfavourable. ConclusionOur survey shows that NAAT-based point-of-care SARS-CoV-2 testing gained widespread acceptance among physicians and medical assistants, positively influences workflows, can improve patient communication and could therefore be successfully implemented into routine primary care.

The Competence of Prospective Physics Teachers in Making Interactive Teaching Materials in The PSAL Science Course

Teaching materials are one of the essential components of learning. The use of appropriate teaching materials is one aspect that can help achieve the learning objectives that have been formulated. Therefore, teachers as learning designers must be able to choose and provide appropriate teaching materials for the instructional learning objectives to be achieved. Students of the Physics Education study program are prospective teacher students who teach in schools, so students should be able to make appropriate teaching materials that can be used in the learning process. The teaching materials to be designed must, of course, be by the characteristics of students and by technological developments. This study aims to describe and analyze students’ abilities in designing interactive teaching materials in PSAL science courses. The research method used is descriptive qualitative. The results of data analysis show that, on average, students get a high score on aspects of completeness of identity, aspects of introduction, and aspects of the appearance of teaching materials. Teaching materials designed by students get low scores on content feasibility and assessment aspects. It happens because the ability of students to adjust the content of teaching materials to the learning objectives and assessment of learning contained in the teaching materials is still lacking.

Agroforestry Farming System: Measuring its Development in Financial Feasibility Aspects

Paradigm contradictions, conflicts of interest, and the synchronization of agricultural development that occurs also affect the irregularity of progress, which creates an agricultural system that is less environmentally friendly. Thus, the presence of the Agroforestry paradigm provides alternative solutions that are synthesized on economic, social, and environmental sustainability. The purpose of the study was to determine the financial feasibility of several combined agroforestry patterns. The study was conducted in Boalemo Regency in April 2018. The data were analyzed based on the value of NPV, BCR, and IRR (16.23%). The results show that the combinations that are feasible with NPV, BCR and IRR values are Food-Plantation-Forestry (Rp.388,425,185), (1.77), (87.65%); Food-Plantation-Forestry-Horticulture (Rp.1,253,822,148), (4.50), (216.58%); Plantation-Forestry (Rp.144,707,388), (1.52), (56.48%); Plantation-Forestry-Horticulture (Rp.718,374,087), (3.77), (129.57%) and those that are not suitable for cultivation are Food-Forestry combinations (Rp.- 52,006,231), (0.49), and (5.71%). To make it feasible to cultivate, farmers can choose types of plants that have commercial value. This indicates that the accuracy in choosing the pattern of plant combinations and the suitability of adapting to the agroecosystem will increase the success of the applied agroforestry system.

Improving sleep apnea treatment adherence after traumatic brain injury: A nonrandomized feasibility study.

To evaluate the feasibility of a psychological intervention designed to increase Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) adherence, adapted with cognitive accommodations for comorbid obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and traumatic brain injury (TBI). This was an open-label single arm (nonrandomized) study. Eligibility criteria were moderate-to-severe TBI, OSA diagnosis, prescribed PAP, nonadherent, and able to consent. Participants were recruited from inpatient and outpatient settings at a tertiary care hospital. The four-module manualized intervention was delivered primarily via telehealth. Feasibility aspects measured included eligibility, recruitment, and retention rates; session duration and attendance; and characteristics of outcome and process measures (e.g., completion rates, data distribution). Symptom measures included the Epworth Sleepiness Scale, Fatigue Severity Scale, Functional Outcomes of Sleep Questionnaire, Self-Efficacy Measure for Sleep Apnea, OSA Treatment Barriers Questionnaire (OTBQ), and Kim Alliance Scale-Revised. Of 230 persons screened, 14.3% were eligible. Recruitment rate (n = 17) was 51.5%. Retention rate (n = 13) was 76.5%. Treatment completers had no missing data. The OTBQ deviated from normality, but other measures had adequate skew (< 2.0) and kurtosis (< 7.0) and were free from significant floor and ceiling effects (<15%). Change score effect sizes were minimal to moderate (d = .10-.77). There were no adverse events. These results inform ways in which procedures should be modified to enhance the success of a future clinical trial testing the efficacy of this adherence intervention. Inclusion criteria should be reconsidered, and recruitment sites expanded, to capture eligible persons and adequately power an efficacy study.

Clinical feasibility of cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia in a real-world mixed sample at a specialized psychiatric outpatient clinic

BackgroundA majority of psychiatric patients suffer from insomnia or insomnia-like problems. In addition to impairing quality of life, sleep problems can worsen psychiatric conditions, such as depression and anxiety, and can make treatment of various psychiatric conditions less successful. Several international guidelines recommend cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) as first line treatment. However, patients in psychiatric care are rarely offered this treatment, and there is a lack of studies evaluating the treatment in regular psychiatric settings. In this pilot study, we aimed to determine the clinical feasibility of a group-based CBT-I intervention in an outpatient clinical setting for patients with depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders and PTSD. We also aimed to investigate if symptoms of insomnia, depression and anxiety changed after CBT-I.MethodsSeventeen patients at an out-patient psychiatric clinic for mixed psychiatric problems of anxiety, affective disorders and PTSD, were enrolled in a six-week long group-based CBT-I intervention. Primary outcomes were pre-defined aspects of treatment feasibility. Secondary outcomes were changes in self-reported symptoms of insomnia severity, depression, and anxiety between pre – and post intervention. Assessment of insomnia severity was also performed 3 months after treatment. Feasibility data is reported descriptively, changes in continuous data from pre- to post-treatment were analysed with dependent t-tests.ResultsAll feasibility criteria were met; there were enough patients to sustain at least one group per semester (e.g., minimum 8), 88% of included patients attended the first session, mean of attended sessions was 4.9 of 6, and drop-out rate was 5.9%. Therapists, recruited from clinical staff, found the treatment manual credible, and possible to use at the clinic. Symptoms of insomnia decreased after treatment, as well as symptoms of depression and anxiety.ConclusionCBT-I could prove as a clinically feasible treatment option for insomnia in a psychiatric outpatient setting.Trial registrationClinicaltrials.gov identifier: NCT05379244.

An Integrated Assessment of GIS-MCA with Logistics Analysis for an Assessment of a Potential Decentralized Bioethanol Production System Using Distributed Agricultural Residues in Thailand

Crop residues derived from post-harvesting process have been problematic due to an on-field incineration, which caused air pollutants and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. An appropriate utilization of those biomasses can improve the environmental situation and provide a substitute for fossil fuels. Therefore, this study intends to analyze how left-over agricultural residues should be valorized in the decentralized bioethanol production configuration. With integrated techniques of geographical information system and multi-criteria analysis (GIS-MCA), we identify suitable locations for exhibiting decentralized sites matching the geographical backgrounds in each region. Under the precondition of a complete utilization of the agricultural residues, we found optimal installation numbers 71 units of decentralized production in total through suitability analysis. Conducting the location–allocation model, it is possible to determine production scales from the collectable spatially distributed biomass and transportation distances. Under the presumed conditions of installing 1 to 25 units, the logistics cost and total capital investment can reach USD 1.17–2.46 L−1 and USD 1.17–6.93 L−1, respectively. The results from examining the technical potential and economic feasibility aspects are key to designing decentralized bioethanol production facilities and maximizing the utilization of agricultural residues in Thailand.

A Multi-institutional Study of the Feasibility and Reliability of the Implementation of Constructed Response Exam Questions

Problem Some medical schools have incorporated constructed response short answer questions (CR-SAQs) into their assessment toolkits. Although CR-SAQs carry benefits for medical students and educators, the faculty perception that the amount of time required to create and score CR-SAQs is not feasible and concerns about reliable scoring may impede the use of this assessment type in medical education. Intervention Three US medical schools collaborated to write and score CR-SAQs based on a single vignette. Study participants included faculty question writers (N = 5) and three groups of scorers: faculty content experts (N = 7), faculty non-content experts (N = 6), and fourth-year medical students (N = 7). Structured interviews were performed with question writers and an online survey was administered to scorers to gather information about their process for creating and scoring CR-SAQs. A content analysis was performed on the qualitative data using Bowen’s model of feasibility as a framework. To examine inter-rater reliability between the content expert and other scorers, a random selection of fifty student responses from each site were scored by each site’s faculty content experts, faculty non-content experts, and student scorers. A holistic rubric (6-point Likert scale) was used by two schools and an analytic rubric (3-4 point checklist) was used by one school. Cohen’s weighted kappa (κw) was used to evaluate inter-rater reliability. Context This research study was implemented at three US medical schools that are nationally dispersed and have been administering CR-SAQ summative exams as part of their programs of assessment for at least five years. The study exam question was included in an end-of-course summative exam during the first year of medical school. Impact Five question writers (100%) participated in the interviews and twelve scorers (60% response rate) completed the survey. Qualitative comments revealed three aspects of feasibility: practicality (time, institutional culture, teamwork), implementation (steps in the question writing and scoring process), and adaptation (feedback, rubric adjustment, continuous quality improvement). The scorers’ described their experience in terms of the need for outside resources, concern about lack of expertise, and value gained through scoring. Inter-rater reliability between the faculty content expert and student scorers was fair/moderate (κw=.34-.53, holistic rubrics) or substantial (κw=.67-.76, analytic rubric), but much lower between faculty content and non-content experts (κw=.18-.29, holistic rubrics; κw=.59-.66, analytic rubric). Lessons Learned Our findings show that from the faculty perspective it is feasible to include CR-SAQs in summative exams and we provide practical information for medical educators creating and scoring CR-SAQs. We also learned that CR-SAQs can be reliably scored by faculty without content expertise or senior medical students using an analytic rubric, or by senior medical students using a holistic rubric, which provides options to alleviate the faculty burden associated with grading CR-SAQs.
