Combined Pediatric Rheumatology/Dermatology Clinics: Benefits and Challenges.

Integrated care models, like combined rheumatology/dermatology clinics (RDCs), facilitate efficient coordination between specialists and provide comprehensive care. Given the limited literature on pediatric RDC logistics, outcomes, benefits and, challenges, we comprehensively characterized our patient cohort at the UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital RDC and surveyed pediatric dermatologists participating in RDCs. We retrospectively reviewed 71 patients new to the UCSF Pediatric RDC between September 2017 and September 2023. A survey was distributed in 2024 to 17 dermatologists in North America, each representing a unique pediatric RDC. 69% of patients (49/71) were female. Seventeen (24%) presented without a known diagnosis; the first RDC visit established a diagnosis for 7 of them (41%). Of patients with a previously established diagnosis, initial RDC evaluation confirmed it in 52 (96%) and revised it for 2 (4%). The most encountered diagnoses were linear morphea (33%), lupus (23%), and psoriasis (13%). New systemic therapy was prescribed for 23% of patients, and additional work-up was recommended via skin biopsy (8%) and imaging (28%). Survey results revealed all pediatric RDCs include trainees, but only 59% (10/17) receive administrative support. All agreed that RDCs are valuable for patient care and most (15/17, 88%) felt that the RDC was a valuable use of their time. Pediatric RDCs are valuable for consensus diagnosis, streamlined evaluation, and management of complex patients. Though clinical and administrative support for RDCs is generally poor, RDCs are valuable to patients, a good use of time for clinicians, and offer educational opportunities for team members.

"I drink less and that's no small matter": a qualitative descriptive study of a managed alcohol program evaluation in Barcelona.

Background: The concurrence of homelessness and alcohol use disorder (AUD) has negative consequences in affected individuals. Managed alcohol programs (MAPs), a harm reduction strategy based on providing regular doses of alcohol to individuals with AUD, have emerged as a potential solution to reduce alcohol-related harms.Objectives: This study examined the impact of a MAP implemented in Barcelona on patterns of alcohol and other psychoactive substance use, health, and quality of life among people who use drugs and were experiencing homelessness. The research also incorporated a gender perspective and focused on individuals who had accessed a residential center.Methods: A descriptive qualitative design was used, employing semi-structured interviews with eight participants who were enrolled in the MAP (three women, five men) and four program professionals. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the resulting data.Results: The domains guiding the study appeared as outcome themes: patterns of use of alcohol and other substances, health, quality of life and impact on female-identified participants. Participants reported improved health due to reduced consumption of alcohol and other substances, better anxiety management, and reconnection to health services. The participants reported enhanced quality of life, including feeling safer, and better use of time, which had been spent on meeting their basic needs. Women reported that a key benefit of the program was living in a sexism-free environment.Conclusion: These results appear to demonstrate that harm reduction strategies prioritizing basic needs and adopting a gender-sensitive perspective can positively impact the health and quality of life of people experiencing homelessness with AUD.

Solusi Al-Qur’an dalam Mengatasi Pengaruh Media Sosial TikTok Terhadap Keagamaan Generasi Muda

This research aims to determine the influence of TikTok social media on the religion of the younger generation from the perspective of the Koran. This research was conducted using the library research method, which includes analysis of literature such as the Al-Qur'an, hadith, journals, and related books. In the digital era, social media has become an important platform for the younger generation to express themselves and seek information. TikTok, as a popular application, allows users to create short videos with various interesting effects. However, its inappropriate use can have negative impacts, such as reducing valuable time, reducing a culture of shame, and spreading hoax news. This research found that TikTok has a significant effect on the religion of the younger generation, including the potential for antisocial behavior, wasting time, and decreasing Islamic values. To overcome these negative influences, the Qur'an provides important guidance, including commands to socialize well, make the best use of time, and maintain a culture of shame. This article offers a unique perspective on how the younger generation can use social media wisely and still retain their religious values ​​through the teachings of the Koran. Thus, it is hoped that this research can provide practical and theoretical benefits for the younger generation and the general public in overcoming the challenges of using social media in the digital era.

Emerging psychosocial factors and work overload perceptions of Mexican university teachers and students working and studying from home during the COVID-19 pandemic.

In Mexico, academic activities during the COVID-19 pandemic were conducted from home for over 2 years. Especially during the initial months of the pandemic, the lockdown conditions necessitated a reorganization and a new understanding of social dynamics. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the perceptions of university students and teachers regarding emerging psychosocial factors that either encouraged or hindered work and/or study from home during confinement, as well as their perceptions of work overload. Furthermore, the differences between students and teachers in the studied variables were analyzed. A predominantly quantitative, cross-sectional, and correlational study was conducted with 108 participants (42.6% university teachers; 57.4% graduate or postgraduate students) who filled out an online questionnaire encompassing two open-ended inductors to identify the positive and negative aspects of working or studying from home and their frequency of perceptions, the COVID-19 Work Overload from Home Scale (ESTC-COVID-19), and questions about the hours per day devoted to different activities. The open responses were categorized by two independent groups of the research team; the emerging categories were then consensually agreed upon and further transformed into dummy and continuous variables. These variables and the results of the ESTC-COVID-19 were analyzed with SPSS 19 using Pearson's correlation coefficient, the Chi-squared test, and Student's t-test. The results identified 9 positive and 10 negative emerging psychosocial factors attributed to at least 10% of the sample's open answers. In addition, work overload correlated negatively with the emerging factor of "Making better use of time" and positively with "Work, school, and/or domestic activities overload;" moreover, students perceived more work overload than teachers. Differences between students and teachers were observed in the following psychosocial factors: "Self-management," "Comfort," and "Enjoying home" (as positive factors) and "Domestic work" and "Interruptions, distractors, noise" (as negative factors), with students generally reporting more discomfort than teachers. The study analyzes these differences in relation to the demands and nature of the study and work activities undertaken by both groups, as well as the previous training of the skills and the resources required to carry them out.

Chiropractic students' perception of remote learning during the COVID-19 pandemic.

To investigate chiropractic students' preferences and perceptions of remote learning with a secondary aim of comparing individuals with and without learning challenges. Following the mandatory period of remote education, a 33-question, mixed-methods, anonymous online survey was distributed from March to September 2021 to a single-campus chiropractic student body with an estimated sample study population of N = 1375. Demographic variables, self-reported learning challenges, technology skills, and perceptions of remote and on-ground learning delivery modalities were gathered. Percentages, measures of central tendency, and chi-square tests were performed on the data. There were 117 participants (8.5%), of whom 63.2% were female (n = 74) and 87.2% (n = 102) were aged 18-34 years. Self-identified learning challenges were present in 33.3% (n = 39) of participants, of whom 28 stated they had attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder or attention-deficit disorder. More than 85.5% (n = 100) of participants agreed they were proficient with the necessary technology. For basic science classes with a lecture and lab component, 61.5% (n = 72) preferred on-ground labs and remote lectures. Participants agreed that remote lectures and on-ground labs were a good use of time (75.2% [n = 88] and 79.5% [n = 93], respectively). There was a significant χ2 between individuals with and without learning challenges for the perception of "stimulating and interesting" (p = .044) and "attention" (p = .001) for on-ground lectures. Chiropractic students preferred remote and on-ground education differentially for labs and lectures. On-ground labs provided greater perceived educational benefits; perceived benefits of remote lecture courses were only modestly supported. Students with self-identified learning challenges presented with some differences related to perception of on-ground lectures.

Assessing the Feasibility of an Empathic Inquiry Approach to Social Needs Screening in 10 Federally Qualified Health Centers.

Despite an increasing emphasis from health care organizations on patients' social health, there is debate about how best to screen patients for social health needs in practice. Empathic Inquiry is a patient-centered approach to asking about patients' social needs that incorporates motivational interviewing and trauma-informed care techniques to increase patient experience of trustworthiness and safety with their care teams. The purpose of this brief report is to describe the feasibility and acceptability of implementing an Empathic Inquiry-informed approach to social needs screening in 10 federally qualified health centers. Clinical staff at community health centers implemented Empathic Inquiry as part of an 8-month learning collaborative. Patients completed surveys about their experience with Empathic Inquiry after screening conversations took place. Qualitative data on organizational implementation experience were collected monthly during 2018. Eight of 10 organizations completed the learning collaborative and implemented Empathic Inquiry in practice. Of 132 patient surveys received, patients agreed (64% strongly agree, 28% somewhat agree) that being screened for social needs strengthened their relationship with their care team and 83% strongly agreed the conversation was a good use of time. Most patients (54%) indicated social health screening was appropriate at every visit, and 27% answered once every 6 months. The Empathic Inquiry approach to understanding patients' social needs was feasible for implementation in community settings. Patients said the conversations were worthwhile, built trust with their care teams, and should be conducted every 6 months or more frequently.

The Use of Virtual Reality Learning on Transition Education in Adolescents with Congenital Heart Disease.

Improvement in congenital heart disease (CHD) outcomes has created a growing population of adolescents and young adults with unique health needs that require thoughtful transition planning and eventual transfer of care to an adult provider. Often, poor health literacy and limited resources can lead to interrupted care, which places them at risk for adverse health-related consequences. In 2019, the Wisconsin Adult Congenital Heart Disease transition program partnered with Stanford Virtual Heart (SVH), a virtual reality (VR) platform, to allow young adult patients to learn about their CHD in a clinic-based setting. We completed a single-center pilot study to evaluate these patients' experience and perceptions to using VR during their transition education. At an initial transition visit, we used an immediate post-VR experience survey, scored using Likert scales of 1-5 (1 = strongly disagree, 5 = strongly agree). Twenty-two patients (13 males) between the ages of 16 and 19 participated. Lesions included pulmonary stenosis, Tetralogy of Fallot, atrial and ventricular septal defect, coarctation, aortic stenosis, hypoplastic left heart syndrome, and patent ductus arteriosus. Likert averages were 4.7 for finding VR helped with understanding their heart lesion, 4.6 for finding VR helped with understanding their heart surgery, 4.7 for enjoying the VR heart simulation, and 4.6 for finding that it was a good use of time. This study demonstrates that adolescents enjoyed using SVH and found it helpful. Clinical implementation shows promise as a plausible adjunct tool for transition education.

A Worksheet to Facilitate Discussions of Values for Patients With Metastatic Cancer: A Pilot Study.

Individual goals and values should drive medical decision making for patients with serious illness. Unfortunately, clinicians' existing strategies to encourage reflection and communication regarding patients' personal values are generally time-consuming and limited in scope. Herein, we develop a novel intervention to facilitate at-home reflection and discussion about goals and values. We then conduct a pilot study of our intervention in a small population of patients with metastatic cancer. We first engaged former cancer patients and their families to adapt an existing serious illness communication guide to a worksheet format. We then distributed this adapted "Values Worksheet" to 28 patients with metastatic cancer. We surveyed participants about their perceptions of the Worksheet to assess its feasibility. Of 30 patients approached, 28 agreed to participate. Seventeen participants completed the Values Worksheet, and of those 11 (65%) responded to the follow-up survey. Seven of eleven reported that the Values Worksheet was a good use of time, and nine of eleven would be likely to recommend it to other patients with cancer. Eight of ten reported mild distress, two of ten reported moderate to severe distress. The Values Worksheet was a feasible way to facilitate at-home discussions of goals and values for select patients with metastatic cancer. Further research should focus on identifying which patients are most likely to benefit from the Values Worksheet, and should employ the Worksheet as one tool to facilitate reflection on the questions that arise around serious illness, as an adjunct to serious illness conversations with a physician.

Efektivitas Pembelajaran Vlog Berbasis Zoom pada Mata Kuliah Perencanaan Pembelajaran Prodi PAI di IAIN Manado

Zoom-based learning basically results in passive learning between educators and students so they cannot provide positive stimulation in the learning process. However, this is different from zoom-based learning conducted at IAIN Mando which can be used as a reference for inspiration for students that online learning does not result in passive learning. Studies on online learning are very important to do because at this time apart from the influence of Covid-19 where learning must be done online, but also technological developments that make learning possible in the digital era. This paper aims to reveal the effectiveness of zoom-based vlog learning in the Learning Planning course at IAIN Manado, as one of the State Islamic Higher Education Institutions that implements zoom-based vlog learning. This study reveals how effective it is for students after studying online and what are the supporting factors in implementing zoom-based vlog learning in lesson planning courses. This research is a type of qualitative research, and the methods used are interviews, observation and documentation. Interviews were conducted with 8 students as informants, while the interviews used in this study were semi-structured interview techniques where the questions posed followed the flow of the conversation. This research shows that the State Islamic Religious College of IAIN Manado can be an inspirational reference in seeing its effectiveness in the online learning process. This study shows that the effectiveness of zoom-based vlog learning conducted at IAIN Mando in PAI study programs remains active, this activity can be described as providing a positive response stimulus, can develop student creativity.

Autonomous vehicle impacts on travel-based activity and activity-based travel

This paper undertakes a deep dive into the kinds of activities that individuals are likely to pursue when freed from the task of driving in the fully automated vehicle (AV) era. We refer to such activities as travel-based activities (TBAs) and examine the potential effects of TBA participation on activity-based travel (ABT). Two aggregate ABT characteristics are considered: additional local area travel (ALT) and additional long distance travel (ALDT). TBAs and the two ABTs are jointly modeled in a parsimonious fashion using psycho-social latent constructs, individual characteristics, and built environment (BE) attributes. The data used in this study is drawn from a 2019 “emerging mobility” survey administered in the Austin, Texas metropolitan area by the research group. Our study indicates that “productive use of time” is not necessarily always tied with activities such as work and study; rather, being able to partake in relatively chill activities (such as sleeping, relaxing, and gazing out the window) is also considered as good use of time. This suggests caution in the interpretation of what are traditionally referred to as “productive” activities and also a need for scholarly restraint in the use of the label “multitasking” to exclusively refer to non-passive activities. We suggest that the field move away from subjective/ambiguous terms such as multitasking and “productive” activities, and adopt the more neutral label of “travel-based activity”. The results also support the notion that the option of opening up travel to pursue work/study activities may itself be engendering stress in individuals; that is, as the option to pursue “non-chill” activities increases in an AV environment, that itself may produce angst in individuals and lead to less enjoyment in travel. This also highlights a need to examine TBAs in the broader context of emotional well-being and quality of life. Indeed, AVs may further erode into our time of tuning-out from the “chatter” of routine life and make it less possible to partake in “calm and mindless” activities. Finally, our study cautions against the use of simple and uniform (across individuals) value of travel time savings (VTTS) factor modifications to study AV impacts on ABT.

A good use of time? Providing evidence for how effort is invested in primary and secondary outcome data collection in trials

BackgroundData collection is a substantial part of trial workload for participants and staff alike. How these hours of work are spent is important because stakeholders are more interested in some outcomes than others. The ORINOCO study compared the time spent collecting primary outcome data to the time spent collecting secondary outcome data in a cohort of trials.MethodsWe searched PubMed for phase III trials indexed between 2015 and 2019. From these, we randomly selected 120 trials evaluating a therapeutic intervention plus an additional random selection of 20 trials evaluating a public health intervention. We also added eligible trials from a cohort of 189 trials in rheumatology that had used the same core outcome set.We then obtained the time taken to collect primary and secondary outcomes in each trial. We used a hierarchy of methods that included data in trial reports, contacting the trial team and approaching individuals with experience of using the identified outcome measures. We calculated the primary to secondary data collection time ratio and notional data collection cost for each included trial.ResultsWe included 161 trials (120 phase III; 21 core outcome set; 20 public health), which together collected 230 primary and 688 secondary outcomes. Full primary and secondary timing data were obtained for 134 trials (100 phase III; 17 core outcome set; 17 public health). The median time spent on primaries was 56.1 h (range: 0.0–10,746.7, IQR: 226.89) and the median time spent on secondaries was 190.7 hours (range: 0.0–1,356,832.9, IQR: 617.6). The median primary to secondary data collection time ratio was 1.0:3.0 (i.e. for every minute spent on primary outcomes, 3.0 were spent on secondaries). The ratio varied by trial type: phase III trials were 1.0:3.1, core outcome set 1.0:3.4 and public health trials 1.0:2.2. The median notional overall data collection cost was £8015.73 (range: £52.90–£31,899,140.70, IQR: £20,096.64).ConclusionsDepending on trial type, between two and three times as much time is spent collecting secondary outcome data than collecting primary outcome data. Trial teams should explicitly consider how long it will take to collect the data for an outcome and decide whether that time is worth it given importance of the outcome to the trial.

REMOTE COGNITIVE STIMULATION THERAPY: CONTINUITY IN THE CONTEXT OF COVID-19 PANDEMIC IN BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, clinical practice of neuropsychology has been substantially modified keeping the remote attention since then. In this work our experience in remote cognitive stimulation (RCS) for the past fifteen months and the user satisfaction during the second year of the pandemic is described. Surveys were conducted using Google Forms sent via email to patients, relatives or caregivers of patients who agreed to the RCS practice. The degree of difficulty to handle virtual platforms, and the level of satisfaction with the RCS practice were assessed through subjective report of the respondents. The survey was completed by 121 individuals (67.8% patients and 32.2% relatives). The mean age of the patients who accessed RCS was 75.3, 66.9% were women, 2.6% had incomplete primary school, 34.2% had completed primary school, 42.6% had completed secondary school, 20.6% had completed university and higher degrees. Regarding the ease of accessing the platform, 56.2.3% referred that it was easy for them. About the degree of satisfaction with the RCS, 65.3% conveyed being very pleased, and 33.1% pleased. 96.7% of those surveyed held that the practice was in accordance with their expectations and 94.2% stated that they would carry out RCS again in the future. Regarding the advantages identified, 52.1.6% recognized as an advantage avoiding the transfer, and 42.1.9% referred a greater use of time. During the second year of the pandemic we have observed that the satisfaction level regarding remote practice held the same. Patients stood out as principal benefits of it avoiding traveling and the better use of time preferring to continue with this modality. This data allows us to take a glimpse at the benefits of this modality to continue using it in the future regardless of the epidemiological situation.

Do Teacher Workshops as a Professional Development Activity Provide the Adequate Skills, Knowledge and Confidence to Deliver the GPS Cows NSW Stage 4 Technology Mandatory Module?

The GPS Cows Module is a co-developed, Australian resource that aims to increase the knowledge and skills of high school students in emerging agricultural technologies. It aligns with many outcomes in the New South Wales (NSW) Stage 4 Technology Mandatory Syllabus, a compulsory subject for Stage 4 students (Years 7–8), that engages students in production and design activities for agriculture, food and other technologies. GPS Cows is a complete resource that teachers can apply into their teaching program. To facilitate the knowledge, skills and confidence required to implement the module, a one-day workshop was offered to NSW teachers in 2018 and 2019. To evaluate the workshop, participants completed a survey containing open- and closed-ended questions. Additionally, classroom clickers were used throughout the workshop to gauge the development of skills, knowledge and confidence over time. Overall, the workshop was well received, with over 98% of respondents enjoying the workshop and 97% indicating that the workshop was a good use of time. Positive aspects included the activities and engagement with data analytics, the resources provided, and the clear link between agricultural technologies and the real world. Identified improvements included the time allotted for workshop activities and minor changes to the resource. In conclusion, the professional development workshops enabled teachers to successfully implement GPS Cows in their teaching program.

Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion moments to raise Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion literacy among physician leaders.

Previous research in our department on equity-deserving groups revealed that physician leaders could improve their understanding of barriers faced by physicians from these groups. We developed EDI Moments, a brief, recurring educational intervention, to raise the EDI literacy of physician leaders in our Department of Medicine. In addition to being considered a good use of time by attendees, EDI Moments have led to new processes and policies to improve EDI in our department. Teams that implement EDI Moments should leverage local EDI expertise and select topics suited for their audience's baseline knowledge.

Escucha activa: base de la relación terapéutica con persona mayor por teleenfermería en contexto pandémico

The case study presented below seeks to resolve the challenge of establishing a therapeutic relationship through active listening in the remote context of tele-nursing. To this end, we worked on a nursing care plan, based on remote meetings with a user of a supervised housing condominium by means of video calls, testing the way in which active listening was carried out when they were in different physical spaces. An assessment was carried out through Gordon's 11 functional patterns, prioritizing the needs detected in the user and establishing objectives and interventions. Among the results obtained, it stands out that, with an optimal work methodology and constant feedback together with a good use of time, active listening can be fully achieved by means of teleconferencing despite the fact that they are in different physical spaces. The latter allows the establishment of a therapeutic relationship between the nurse and the person. It is concluded that tele-nursing is a valuable resource that needs to be further developed so that the differences between face-to-face and remote care become increasingly minimal.

Paediatric dentistry trainee views on training relating to the medically compromised child and oral medicine elements of specialty training curricula.

Paediatric dentists care for children who are medically compromised and with an orofacial disease; therefore, trainees need appropriate training in these areas. The prevalence of congenital and chronic diseases in children is increasing, and future specialists need an understanding of human health and disease and oral medicine. This study aimed to determine if current teaching and assessments were fulfilling these requirements. A survey distributed to the UK and Ireland specialty trainees asked their opinions on whether knowledge gained prior to entering training, and teaching and learning during training equipped them for future management of medically compromised children and those with oral medicine diagnoses. The response rate was 51% (26 trainees). Most were aware of curriculum elements for medically compromised children and oral medicine. The majority felt that knowledge and experience gained as undergraduates and early graduates was insufficient and recognised the need for these topics in speciality training. For medically compromised children, this learning was considered a good use of time by 96% of trainees, and 88% felt that this topic should be given more attention. For oral medicine, this learning was considered a good use of time by 96% of trainees, and 69% felt that this topic should have more attention. Paediatric dentistry specialty trainees recognise that knowledge and experience of managing patients considered medically compromised and those with oral medicine conditions are an important part of training and need greater emphasis, especially in light of changing demographics with congenital and acquired chronic disease, and children with oral medicine disorders.
