Protocol for the co-design of an online support service for adults with hearing loss.

Untreated hearing loss is reported to negatively impact on an individual's quality of life, affecting their psychological and physical health and placing them at greater risk of developing dementia. Despite this, hearing loss management is often delayed by up to a decade. This is likely due to difficulties in navigating the hearing care pathway, and the absence of a central, unbiased reference point for consumer-friendly hearing health information and resources. We intend to co-design an online support service for adults with hearing loss with the following aims: 1) to understand unmet needs and consumer barriers to accessing hearing health information, 2) to identify solutions to these unmet needs that can be developed into prototype ideas, 3) to incrementally build on iterations of a prototype until a usable online support service is developed and ready for real-life testing with end-users, and 4) to test and evaluate the usability, accessibility, and effectiveness of the prototype from the consumer's perspective, so that the prototype can be refined into the final product. This will be a mixed method study. Consumers will be involved in all stages of the design of the project following the Hasso Plattner model of design thinking. The qualitative component will involve sprints and semi-structured interviews to access the consumer perspective and understand unmet needs and challenges regarding the access of online hearing health information. For the quantitative component, an online survey will be administered prior to prototype testing as part of the remote usability study to collect self-efficacy and eHealth literacy outcome measures via validated questionnaires. Data collection will also be performed post-prototype testing for evaluation purposes. Finally, heuristic evaluation of the prototype will be conducted by an eLearning expert to help refine the prototype into the final product.

Design thinking como metodologia na elaboração de uma proposta de matriz curricular

Abstract Introduction: The medical school curricular structure may vary according to the educational planning of each higher education institution (HEI). The viewpoint of the coordination and the medical school faculty is not always aligned with the students’ opinions. Thus, using a methodology to identify the students’ point of view would be essential. Design thinking (DT) is a process that proposes a search, in an empathetic, collaborative, and creative way, for solutions to complex problems. Objectives: To present DT as a methodology to identify how clinical internship students believe the curricular structure from the 1st to the 4th year of a São Paulo state medical school should be, by collecting suggestions and points that require a re-evaluation process of the current curricular structure. Methods: This is a qualitative assessment, which will use the DT model. Students were divided into three groups of five, and each group was committed to having a free discussion on its ideas concerning the curricular structure. Then, a panel was presented to each group, dividing the semesters from the 1st to the 4th year with post-it notes representing the current curricular structure of the medical school, and each group had one hour to reassemble the curricular structure as they deemed appropriate. Results: After the discussion stage, each group assembled its curricular structure. Some changes concerning the year in which the discipline was provided were proposed, and the inclusion of others. Most of the suggestions were considered valid and were incorporated into the curriculum. Conclusions: The DT methodology contributed to the identification of several demands regarding the curricular structure in an orderly, empathetic, and collaborative way, taking into account the students’ opinions. It is, therefore, a planning strategy able to evidence weaknesses and strengths of the curriculum that might not have been noticed by the use of other strategies.

Objectives This study aims to reconstruct the elementary social studies curriculum using the simulated environment platform, implement it in 3rd and 4th grades’ regional learning, and confirm its effect on elementary school students’ competency.&#x0D; Methods Simulated environment-assisted regional learning curriculum was developed following the design thinking model for a total of 31 students, and they were asked to complete surveys and interviews concerning their digital citizenship and self-directed learning. The regional learning class consists of five stages; Understanding the region, Setting the goal, Preparation, Using the simulated environment, and Applying.&#x0D; Results As a result of the study, the possibility of classes using the simulated 3D environment for elementary school students was confirmed through the five-step procedure, and it was found that it was appropriate and effective to use the simulated environment to reconstruct social studies regional classes. In addition, as a result of analyzing the difference in students' competency changes, digital citizenship scores were significantly improved, and in particular, there was a significant difference in social responsibility and digital social understanding. On the other hand, there was no significant difference in self-directed learning, but there was a difference in learning independence among the sub-items. As a result of qualitative analysis, the attitude of students to recognize and use the simulated environment for an educational purpose has changed positively, and students have actively participated in class activities such as setting goals on their own.&#x0D; Conclusions This suggests regional learning classes using the simulated environment plays an important role in developing the competencies necessary for students to live in the future society. In addition, it suggests that elementary school students can also become the leading subject of virtual space production rather than simply experiencing the platform. Based on this study, it is expected that classes using simulated environment can be applied at various school levels.&#x0D;

Connecting the dots: interprofessional collaboration in caring neighbourhoods, a pilot study

Introduction: There is an increasing need for interprofessional collaboration (IPC) in the community, in order to ensure personcentered care for those with a care need. In Belgium, the Flemish government committed to support this through the creation of Primary Care Zones (PCZ) and a pilot-program of Caring Neighbourhoods (CN). The PCZ's mission is to get the diverse group of primary care professionals at the community level to work together. CN’s work on this community level and aim to allow residents to stay in their familiar surroundings for as long as possible and have low-threshold access to care and support. The aim of our research is finding a method to enhance IPC in CN’s.&#x0D; Methods: Our practice-based scientific research sought to answer the question: How can professionals in care and wellbeing create interventions to enhance IPC? We conducted action research and innovation labs with a group of participants (n=5) from different organizations in health and welfare work within the Brederode neighbourhood in Antwerp South. The aim of this innovationlab was to facilitate co-creation of initiatives to improve communication and collaboration. Before starting the innovationlab sessions, a context analysis was conducted in which a.o. geography, socio-cultural context, socio-economic context of the neighbourhood was mapped. The innovation labs were built using the model of design thinking. One physical session was organized, followed by four online sessions. After going through the design thinking process, a focus group took place to reflect on the whole process.&#x0D; Results: At the start of our research project, the IPC in the PCZ was very limited. We found that participants in PCZ Antwerp Centre knew little about each other’s tasks and way of working. Therefore, people with certain care needs are not helped in the way they should have been. The participants express an increased communication between them, regarding residents in their neighbourhood. The method of innovation labs proved to be a valid way to enhance IPC. The structure of this methodology was perceived as a clear and straightforward form to facilitate bottom-up initiatives. Their knowledge of each other's tasks and opportunities to work together has led to the onset of IPC. During our research, the following limitations were encountered: a shortage of personnel, the noncommittal nature of IPC, time investment and large staff turnover of people in crucial positions were detected as contributing factors why there is no IPC in the community of Brederode neighbourhood.&#x0D; Discussion: We observed an increased need for tools and facilitation that encourage IPC to move towards CN. Organizations and individual primary care professionals benefit from the developed E-book when aiming to improve interprofessional cooperation on a community level.&#x0D; Conclusion: By using the methodology of our innovation labs, the participants expanded their network, improved their communication and mapped structural problems in IPC.

Pedagogical Strategy Based on the Application of Design Thinking Techniques for the Teaching-Learning Process of Research Methodologies in Psychology Students of the Technical Corporation for Human, Social and Cultural Development of Colombia- CORPODESC, 2023

This master's thesis was born as a commitment to improve the training processes of university students around the teaching of research methodologies; thus creating a new way of bringing knowledge of the scientific method to students in a dynamic, creative, practical and innovative way. This exercise was carried out at the Technical Corporation for Human, Social and Cultural Development of Colombia (Corpodesc), specifically in its psychology program that is implemented through virtual education; The main objective of this work was to develop a pedagogical strategy based on the application of design thinking techniques for the teaching- learning process of research methodologies in psychology students at Corpodesc. To carry out this process, different theoretical components were taken into account, such as the conceptualization of design thinking and the design thinking model for educators, as well as those related to the competency-based educational model for professional training. To operationalize this research project, it was framed under the interpretative paradigm with a qualitative approach; using the practical design type of participatory action research. The sample consisted of 18 seventh-semester psychology students in virtual mode who were taking the subject of 'research methods in psychology'; all of whom participated in the strategy designed. For data collection, the 'Scale to Measure Attitudes towards Research (EACIN)2 was selected in the diagnosis, and a structured interview was applied for the evaluation. Among the main results of the study with respect to the diagnosis was that a significant percentage of the students had a level of favorability around research, although their main deficiencies were around procrastinating as much as possible the activities related to research or having little culture of reading research papers. Regarding the evaluation of the strategy, what can be highlighted is that the students stated that the teaching of research methodologies under the conception of design thinking made it much more practical, dynamic, innovative, interesting and much easier for them to integrate the theoretical with the pragmatic aspects of the research. It is concluded from this whole process that the design thinking methodology does have the capacity to be adapted to the teaching-learning processes of research methodologies at the undergraduate level, however, it is important to carry out more studies that allow a differentiation of effectiveness between this way of teaching and the traditional way.

To this end, the context of this study is based on the adaptation of the Design Thinking model as a strategy for interdisciplinary collaborative work between clinical therapists and software developers. This is complemented by a human-centered design (DCH) approach to obtain accessible software aimed at people with ASD level 1. Each of the stages of Design Thinking is detailed in order to obtain the personalized design of accessible software, as well as the activities carried out in case studies in Colombia, Spain, and Portugal with eight children diagnosed with ASD. As a result, we present the design of FRIDA’s components for interdisciplinary collaborative work and the design of personalized software that was developed for some children with ASD who participated in this study. For these children, it is demonstrated that the use of personalized and collaboratively designed software facilitates the development of specific social skills more quickly than with conventional clinical therapies.

Digital Microlearning for Training and Competency Development of Older Adult Care Personnel: Mixed Methods Intervention Study to Assess Needs, Effectiveness, and Areas of Application.

Older adult care organizations face challenges today due to high personnel turnover and pandemic-related obstacles in conducting training and competence development programs in a time-sensitive and fit-for-purpose manner. Digital microlearning is a method that attempts to meet these challenges by more quickly adapting to the educational needs of organizations and individual employees in terms of time, place, urgency, and retention capacity more than the traditional competency development methods. This study aimed to determine if and how an app-based digital microlearning intervention can meet older adult care organizations' personnel competency development needs in terms of knowledge retention and work performance. This study assessed the use of a digital microlearning app, which was at the testing stage in the design thinking model among managerial (n=4) and operational (n=22) employees within 3 older adult care organizations. The app was used to conduct predetermined competency development courses for the staff. Baseline measurements included participants' previous training and competency development methods and participation, as well as perceived needs in terms of time, design, and channel. They then were introduced to and used a digital microlearning app to conduct 2 courses on one or more digital devices, schedules, and locations of their own choice during a period of ~1 month. The digital app and course content, perceived knowledge retention, and work performance and satisfaction were individually assessed via survey upon completion. The survey was complemented with 4 semistructured focus group interviews, which allowed participants (in total 16 individuals: 6 managerial-administrative employees and 10 operational employees) to describe their experiences with the app and its potential usefulness within their organizations. The proposed advantages of the digital microlearning app were largely confirmed by the participants' perceptions, particularly regarding the ease of use and accessibility, and efficiency and timeliness of knowledge delivery. Assessments were more positive among younger or less experienced employees with more diverse backgrounds. Participants expressed a positive inclination toward using the app, and suggestions provided regarding its potential development and broader use suggested a positive view of digitalization in general. Our results show that app-based digital microlearning appears to be an appropriate new method for providing personnel competency development within the older adult care setting. Its implementation in a larger sample can potentially provide more detailed insights regarding its intended effects.

Local Resource-Based Women Empowerment Model Through Family Development Session (FDS)

This research is motivated by the assumption in the Pungut Hilir Village community that the economic control of the family is the role of men as the head of the family. The task of women, as housewives, is to manage the household and care for children. It raises the opinion that women do not have a role in managing the existing local resources. Through this study, the researcher aims to discuss a model of empowering women based on Local Resources in the Family Development Session (FDS) Group. An Empowerment model for women is implemented to challenge this societal assumption. This empowerment model is not only to improve skills but also to enhance knowledge and change the community's mindset about the role of women in managing local resources. It also aims to increase the participation of women in Pungut Hilir Village in utilizing local resources. This field study is analyzed using qualitative methods, including data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. Data collection techniques involve observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings of this study reveal that housewives play a crucial role in economic development through FDS groups to enhance family economic stability. An effective empowerment model for the FDS group in managing local resources is the Local Community Development Model, which aims to develop capabilities and increase awareness to achieve desired goals. The objectives are implemented as follows: 1) improving the knowledge of FDS members through the design thinking model for knowledge dissemination, socialization, and capacity-building training; 2) enhancing the skills of FDS members independently by providing training and mentoring to process local potential into woven products, food, and herbal products; and 3) increasing the participation of FDS members through productive activities such as education, joint ventures, and cooperative savings and loans.
