Implementing Cancer Pain Management Training for Pharmacists Using the Kirkpatrick Evaluation Model.

To develop a training program on cancer pain management for pharmacists and to evaluate the effectiveness of the training. The program developed a well-structured curriculum and subsequent evaluation of training effectiveness, guided by the Kirkpatrick four-tier evaluation model, including reaction, learning, behavior, and results. The training approach incorporated mentoring, study groups, and problem-based learning to create an immersive and impactful learning experience. Fifty-three pharmacists participated in the survey. The reaction evaluation results showed that the cumulative percentage of "satisfied" and "very satisfied" with each of the nine statements exceeded 85%. The findings from the learning level assessment revealed that the cumulative percentage of accurate responses to the 13 items on the Cancer Pain Management Questionnaire was 57.7% before training. This percentage rose to 64.2% following the training, showcasing a statistically significant improvement (p=0.014). The behavioral scoring results showed that 53 trainees scored an average of more than 15 points on all four behavioral benchmarks. The pass rate for the trainees was 86.8%. The percentages of trainees who scored proficient, good, and excellent were 18.9% (10/53), 50.9% (27/53), and 17.0% (9/53), respectively. The evaluation of the results showed that all the respondents were engaged in cancer pain management practices. Of these participants, 85.7% (42/49) were members of a multidisciplinary cancer pain management team, and 53.1% (26/49) performed a cancer pain consultation or attended an outpatient clinic. Study results suggested that the training program was effective in all dimensions defined by the Kirkpatrick model. This collective achievement indicates a substantial enhancement in the comprehension and proficiency of pharmacists regarding cancer pain management.

Hand hygiene, knowledge and training motivational drives: findings from a survey in a university hospital.

This study assessed healthcare workers' (HCWs) knowledge and adherence to hand hygiene principles in a large Italian university hospital, focusing on identifying knowledge gaps and evaluating training effectiveness. A specifically designed 17-item questionnaire, based on the World Health Organization (WHO) Hand Hygiene Knowledge Questionnaire, was used to measure theoretical knowledge, the role of training, and the impact of experience. The survey had an 8% participation rate (542 responses from a total of 6,749 HCWs), with higher responses among nurses and doctors. Results showed moderate knowledge of hand hygiene protocols, averaging 74%, but revealed gaps in comprehension, particularly in the correct use of hand rub and post-contact sanitation. Logistic regression analysis identified significant predictors of knowledge and adherence, with professional characteristics such as professional qualifications and length of service influencing outcomes (p < 0.05). The findings confirm the strong correlation between hand hygiene knowledge and compliance in reducing healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). Continuous education and customized interventions, including targeted training and feedback, are essential for targeting weak points and improving adherence. These insights emphasize the importance of ongoing training and monitoring to enhance hand hygiene practices, promote a culture of patient safety, and, as a consequence, reduce the incidence of HAIs.

Safety Leadership Training Effectiveness Evaluation on Behavior Change Among Large-Herd U.S. Dairy Farm Supervisors.

Prior research suggests leader-based interventions are considered to have a much stronger influence on worker safety behavior and climate than worker-based interventions. However, no prior research has evaluated training effectiveness of safety-specific leadership skill development for front-line supervisors on dairy farms. A tailored safety leadership training program targeting dairy farm supervisors was developed, delivered, and evaluated for its training effect on the supervisor's safety leadership behavior. A 12-module safety leadership training program was developed and delivered in an asynchronous format using e-learning methods to 73 dairy farm supervisors, representing 30 farms across five western U.S. states. We employed the Kirkpatrick Model to evaluate different levels of training effectiveness. Evaluation of knowledge gained among participants revealed significant differences between pre- and post-test scores with medium to very large learning effect sizes across all training modules, particularly with training modules addressing safety culture, workplace conflict, and safety meetings. Safety leadership behavior change evaluation revealed significant pre-post training effects across most training modules, particularly regarding safety dialogue, hazard assessment, safety modeling, and conducting safety meetings. Our findings suggest that safety leadership training can result in essential leadership behavior change among front-line dairy farm supervisors. This study provides many insights into the successful implementation of a safety leadership training program in a challenging industrial sector (rural/remote workplaces, immigrant workforce), as well as training effectiveness evaluation using novel data collection methodology. Additional research is needed on the effectiveness and sustainability of safety leadership training in high-risk industrial sectors such as agriculture.

A Triboelectric Nanogenerator Based on TPU/PLA for Basketball Motion Monitoring.

Sports monitoring equipment that integrates advanced sensing technology has attracted widespread attention in recent years. Hence, we proposed a TPU/PLA 3D printing film triboelectric nanogenerator (TP-TENG) to monitor basketball player posture for training effectiveness evaluation. By introducing carbon fibers, TPU/PLA/Carbon film with conductive and positive triboelectric properties was prepared. According to results, the peak power density is 58.38 mW m-2 when the load resistance of 30 MΩ is matched. Nevertheless, when TP-TENG encounters wrinkles and continues to work for a period of time, its output performance will tend to stabilize. And the open-circuit voltage (VOC), transfer charge (QSC), and short-circuit current (ISC) increase to 91 %, 92 %, and 92 %, respectively, almost the same as their original values. Furthermore, the TP-TENG sensor can recognize human posture in different basketball motion posture, including skipping, squatting, walking, running. This work can help to promote the application of 3D printing TENG in basketball sports monitoring.

Practical exploration of BOPPPS model combined with situational teaching method in clinical training of intensive medicine: novel pedagogy and perception.

To explore the application value of bridge-in, learning objective, pre-assessment, participatory learning, post-assessment, and summary (BOPPPS) model combined with situational teaching method in the clinical teaching of intensive care unit (ICU), and to provide experience for the reform of ICU clinical teaching and standardized training of intensive medicine. A randomized trial was conducted using a multi-center, prospective cohort study. A total of 293 residential physicians in ICU of Fujian Medical University Union Hospital, the Affiliated Hospital of Putian University and the First Affiliated Hospital of Gannan Medical University from January 2021 to December 2023 were selected as subjects, and the residential physicians in ICU in each medical center were divided into control group and experimental group using random number table method. The control group adopted bedside teaching and demonstration teaching method, and the experimental group adopted BOPPPS model combined with situational teaching method. Clinical teaching performance was evaluated by ICU admission examination, and study process questionnaire (SPQ) and the critical thinking disposition inventory-Chinese version (CTDI-CV) was used to evaluate the learning motivation and critical thinking ability of the two groups. At the same time, the effect evaluation and satisfaction questionnaire of ICU training (EESQ) was used to evaluate the teaching satisfaction. The scores of the experimental group in ICU theoretical knowledge, clinical thinking and skills, and the treatment of clinical critical cases were higher than those of the control group [(87.31 ± 13.15), (92.86 ± 12.35), (81.45 ± 11.28)] vs. [(83.94 ± 12.73), (88.37 ± 12.61), (78.83 ± 10.47)], the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (p < 0.05). The scores of surface motivation, deep motivation, achievement motivation and SPQ total scores of the experimental group were all higher than those in control group (p < 0.05), and the scores of seek truth, open mind, analytical ability, systematic ability, self-confidence of critical thinking and intellectual curiosity of the experimental group were also higher than those in the control group, and the CTDI total score was statistically significant (p < 0.05). In addition, the results of the questionnaire showed that the experimental group was better than the control group in terms of learning interest in ICU, improvement of humanistic care and doctor-patient communication ability, improvement of teamwork ability, improvement of job identity, ICU training harvest and satisfaction with teacher style (p < 0.05). The combination of BOPPPS model and situational teaching method is likely a more effective and helpful which may improve the clinical comprehensive ability and training quality of residential physicians, and it may be worth learning and promoting.

Development of a self-assessment tool to evaluate the readiness of pharmacy departments for internship training in China: a two-phase study

ObjectivesInternships in the pharmacy departments of training hospitals represent a crucial stage in the professional development of pharmacy students. However, the quality of internship training varies significantly across training hospitals in China, and there is a lack of standardized readiness evaluation tools. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to develop a self-assessment tool to evaluate the preparedness of training hospitals for providing internship training.MethodsThis study employed an exploratory mixed-methods approach and was conducted in two phases. In the first phase, during 2021, focus groups were conducted with 16 interns from three tertiary hospitals in Henan Province. In 2022, 14 preceptors from tertiary hospitals in various provinces were interviewed either one-on-one or in focus groups. The interview data were analyzed using thematic analysis to compile a set of self-assessment indicators for internship training readiness. Subsequently, the initial draft of the self-assessment tool for internship training readiness was developed by integrating the indicators derived from the interviews and literature review. In the second phase, the Delphi method was utilized. In 2023, the experts participated in two rounds of correspondence (21 experts in the first round and 19 in the second round), and consensus was reached on the indicators of the self-assessment tool after the two rounds. Meanwhile, these experts assessed the current status of internship training in training hospitals across China.ResultsThe qualitative findings of the first phase included five themes and 22 sub-themes, which were integrated with the indicators derived from the literature review to develop an initial indicator framework for the second phase. This initial framework comprised five domains and 37 items. The second phase involved two rounds of expert surveys, with effective response rates of 90.48% and 89.47%, respectively. Ultimately, the self-assessment tool for evaluating the readiness of pharmacy departments in training hospitals for internships included five dimensions and 35 secondary indicators: (1) organizational structure, (2) training content, (3) training mode, (4) effectiveness evaluation, and (5) emergency management. Additionally, experts assessed the readiness of pharmacy departments in Chinese training hospitals for internships, yielding varied results. Emergency management preparedness scored the highest, followed by organizational structure and training content preparation. However, the modes of internship training and the evaluation of training effectiveness received lower scores.ConclusionThe developed tool provides a comprehensive self-assessment checklist for the pharmacy departments of training hospitals and possesses the potential to enhance the development of more effective internship training programs.

Training effectiveness evaluation: Advancing a Kirkpatrick model based composite framework

The present study aims at ideating a quantitative protocol to evaluate effectiveness of training programmes especially meant for farmers, farm women, and rural youth. The specific objective was to develop a robust framework for measuring the effectiveness of rural training programmes organized by the Farmers Training Centres (FTCs) of India. Kirkpatrick's training evaluation model provides us the foundation to design a four-dimensional composite framework based on range-based indicator normalization, principal component analysis based indicator weight estimation, and rank correlation based framework sensitivity testing. We used cross-sectional primary data generated through household survey and personal interviews with randomly selected one thousand trainees to test and validate our proposed protocol. Applying it on our evaluation target we find that the degree of effectiveness of the training programmes varies; one in every four training programmes may not be effective. Trainees' reactions on various aspects of the training programmes may have positive and significant influence on learning. Training outcomes may be linked with the trainees' post-training changes in behaviour. A sensitivity test confirms that the proposed framework is not susceptible to changes in weighting schemes, implying robustness of indicator selection. The findings offer dissection of individual training programmes guiding policy decisions for a training organization. The proposed framework enriches the Kirkpatrick's training evaluation model by offering standardized indicators for training effectiveness evaluation.

A wearable flexible triboelectric nanogenerator for bio-mechanical energy harvesting and badminton monitoring

Recently, textile materials used for wearable flexible sensors have received much attention. Wearable textile based triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) not only has unique advantages in mechanical energy harvesting, but also has application value in the direction of motion sensing. Here, we proposed a non-woven fabric triboelectric nanogenerator (NW-TENG) for mechanical energy harvesting and badminton monitoring. The non-woven fabric play the role of positive triboelectric, and the fluffy fiber structure endows NW-TENG with a sensitive response to pressure. The pressure sensing sensitivity of NW-TENG sensor can reach 1.22VN-1 (Pressure range: 0-7N) and 0.18VN-1 (Pressure range: 8N-55N). Furthermore, the NW-TENG can be installed on the body joints of badminton players for analyzing joint movements, thereby achieving data-driven badminton training and facilitating the evaluation of training effectiveness. This research provide a new path to promote TENG to the badminton monitoring field.
