State program enables the identification of factors associated with naloxone awareness, self-efficacy, and use for overdose reversal: A cross-sectional, observational study in an urban emergency department population

IntroductionTo assist the state of Ohio in addressing the opioid epidemic, the Ohio Attorney General appointed experts in a variety of academic disciplines to the Scientific Committee on Opioid Prevention and Education (SCOPE). The focus of SCOPE is the application of scientific principles to the development of prevention and educational strategies for reducing substance use disorder and related harms (e.g., promoting naloxone awareness). Naloxone awareness is a step in the naloxone cascade, which is a useful model for understanding the sequential steps laypeople must take to prepare themselves to intervene using naloxone; other steps include training and previous administration experience. Prior work has explored correlates of these steps among individuals with risky substance use, but fewer studies have focused on broader populations containing potential bystanders (e.g., family and community members). MethodsThis study was a secondary data analysis of patients from three urban emergency departments. Subsamples differed across five models (n = 479–1208) and included opioid-exposed and -naïve participants. Logistic regression characterized clinically useful sociodemographic predictors (e.g., race, ethnicity, education, employment, housing status) of naloxone awareness, self-efficacy (which relates to training), and previous-overdose administration. Two additional logistic regressions tested associations between risk factors for witnessing an opioid overdose and two cascade steps (awareness and self-efficacy). ResultsNon-White race, Hispanic ethnicity, and lower education predicted not being aware of naloxone; non-White race also predicted lower naloxone self-efficacy, and older age predicted lack of previous-overdose administration. Having family members with risky opioid use was heavily associated with awareness, while personal substance-use behaviors and previous overdose witnessing were associated with both awareness and higher naloxone self-efficacy. ConclusionsCharacteristics associated with lower likelihood of completing each cascade step highlight opportunities for targeted interventions. Specifically, findings indicated the importance of expanding naloxone education and training programs to more diverse populations and to family members of individuals with risky opioid use. Further, these findings demonstrate how a state-funded program such as SCOPE can have a positive impact on identifying strategies that may assist in reducing mortality associated with opioid overdose.

Nurses' acceptance of nursing information systems: Amulti-center cross-sectional study in China.

In China, nursing information systems (NIS) implementation can face numerous barriers to acceptance, including the attitudes of potential users. However, few studies have evaluated this acceptance. The aim of this study was to explain the acceptance of NIS utilizing a survey based on unified theory of acceptance and use of technology. A multi-center cross-sectional study utilizing an online survey was conducted. SPSS AMOS was used to conduct a structural equation modelling analysis. This research followed the STROBE Checklist. A total of 3973 Nurses participated in the study between January 2023 and March 2023. The acceptance of NIS among nurses was overall moderate to high. The proposed model has been rigorously tested and validated using empirical data, ensuring its credibility and dependability. Performance expectancy (PE), social influence (SI), and attitude significantly and positively affected intentions to use NIS. Effort expectancy (EE) did not show any significant effects in the sample. Facilitating conditions (FCs) was found to have a negative relationship with the intention to use NIS. There was a statistically significant difference BI between the different age groups, working years, and computer training experience. The model demonstrates a good fit with the observed data. This study identified PE, SI, and attitude as facilitators of nurses' intentions to use NIS. The findings about EE indicates that the ease of using NIS does not seem to be a concern among nurses. Moreover, high FC might be perceived as indicative of a complex system or extensive usage, that can lead to increased workload and reduced behavioural intention (BI). The significant differences in BI among various demographic groups highlight the need for more studies understanding the preferences and barriers faced by different, levels of experience and training backgrounds. No patient or public contribution.

Instagram and Achilles tendon surgery: Evaluation of patients' perceptions of surgery

Background/Aim: The primary objective of this study was to conduct comprehensive research and analysis of patient-generated content related to Achilles tendon surgery on the social media platform Instagram. The aim was to gain deeper insights into patients' experiences during the perioperative period, which may contain valuable information pertinent to their condition, information of which the physicians may be unaware. Methods: A search was conducted on the Instagram database, covering a period of 78 months from February 2015 to August 2021. Posts utilizing the hashtags "#achillessurgery" and "#achillesrepair" were included in the analysis. Posts were assessed using a binary scoring system, considering variables such as tone, media format, return to work, rehabilitation or physical therapy, return to sports, images related to the ankle (e.g., scars, stitches, casts, dressings, walking boots), activities of daily living, and pain. Results: A total of 500 posts were reviewed, and a positive tone was observed in 77.8% of these. The average Instagram like ratio for these posts was computed as 9%. Statistical analysis revealed a significant relationship between post content and tone status (P=0.001). Specifically, within the positive tone group, informative content about the disease was comparatively lower and statistically significant when compared to exercise training and patient experience (P=0.001). Additionally, exercise training posts were found to be significantly lower than patient experience posts (P=0.001) within the positive tone group. In contrast, within the negative tone group, patient experience posts were significantly higher compared to informative content and exercise training posts (P=0.001). Moreover, the quantity of informative posts markedly surpassed the number of posts related to exercise training (P=0.001). Conclusion: In the positive tone category, people tended to emphasize personal experiences and participate in posts related to exercise training rather than actively seeking or exchanging information about the disorder. On the other hand, within the negative tone group, individuals were more likely to share adverse experiences, pursue support, and seek a deeper understanding from others. Their priority may also lie in sharing and gaining information specifically about the disorder. Our exploration of the use of social media platforms to delve into patient perspectives on Achilles tendon surgery provides an alternative insight into patients' experiences with the surgical process. By comprehending the content shared by patients on social media, surgeons may gain an improved opportunity to assess and address the surgical experience of their patients more effectively, ultimately contributing to enhanced patient care.

Learner evaluation of an immersive virtual reality mass casualty incident simulator for triage training

BackgroundTo minimize loss of life, modern mass casualty response requires swift identification, efficient triage categorization, and rapid hemorrhage control. Current training methods remain suboptimal. Our objective was to train first responders to triage a mass casualty incident using Virtual Reality (VR) simulation and obtain their impressions of the training’s quality and effectiveness.We trained subjects in a triage protocol called Sort, Assess, Lifesaving interventions, and Treatment and/or Transport (SALT) Triage then had them respond to a terrorist bombing of a subway station using a fully immersive virtual reality simulation. We gathered learner reactions to their virtual reality experience and post-encounter debriefing with a custom electronic survey. The survey was designed to gather information about participants’ demographics and prior experience, including roles, triage training, and virtual reality experience. We then asked them to evaluate the training and encounter and the system’s potential for training others.ResultsWe received 375 completed evaluation surveys from subjects who experienced the virtual reality encounter. Subjects were primarily paramedics, but also included medical learners as well as other emergency medical service (EMS) professionals. Most participants (95%) recommended the experience for other first responders and rated the simulation (95%) and virtual patients (91%) as realistic. Ninety-four percent (94%) of participants rated the virtual reality simulator as “excellent” or “good.” We observed some differences between emergency medical service and medical professionals regarding their prior experience with disaster response training and their opinions on how much the experience contributed to their learning. We observed no differences between subjects with extensive virtual reality experience and those without.ConclusionsOur virtual reality simulator is an automated, customizable, fully immersive virtual reality system for training and assessing personnel in the proper response to a mass casualty incident. Participants perceived the simulator as an adequate alternative to traditional triage and treatment training and believed that the simulator was realistic and effective for training. Prior experience with virtual reality was not a prerequisite for the use of this system.

Exploring Development of EMI Teacher Identities and Emotions During a Collaborative Teaching Practice: A Sociocultural Perspective

AbstractThe burgeoning English‐medium instruction (EMI) programs have aroused worldwide scholarly interest in giving language support for EMI subject teachers and their identity‐informed professional development. This study explored how an EMI subject teacher's identities and emotions were intricately interlinked before and after his co‐teaching practice with an English as a foreign language (EFL) teacher at a university in Midwestern China. Ethnographic tools including interviews, observations, and small talks were used over a 10‐month collaborative program. The findings show that the participant teacher's identities and emotions were interdependent with each other and mediated by collaborative teaching practice. Futhermore, emotional attachment to English enhancement and deep engagement in co‐teaching contributed to (re)construction of teacher identities as a content teacher, a competent English user, and an English learning facilitator. The participant's emotional attachment was explicated by his perezhivanie, or the emotional experience of his previous English learning and the emergent EMI teaching contexts. The study highlights the primacy of reconstructing teacher identities and supporting teacher emotional experiences in EMI teacher training and education programs.

Playful stances for developing pre-service teachers’ epistemic cognition: Addressing cognitive, emotional, and identity complexities of epistemic change through play

BackgroundTeachers who show more developed epistemic cognition teach better and promote more and better learning in their students. Studies indicate that teacher training impacts little on student teachers’ epistemic cognition development. One of the difficulties of epistemic cognition interventions is that, beyond the conceptual level, epistemic change implies identity challenge and emotional distress. Both benefit from a playful setting to be managed. We designed and implemented a university course as a socio-constructivist playful training experience. In a previous study, using growth curve analysis, we showed that this course promoted epistemic cognition development in student teachers. AimsIn this study we analyzed the experience of the course participants to characterize the lived process of change and to propose ways of understanding the relationship between a game-based course and epistemic change. ParticipantsTwenty-five female student teachers in their second, third, or fourth year of study participated in the study. MethodsBoth small and whole group interactions from 15 training sessions, and 8 individual interviews after the course, were recorded and qualitatively analyzed to explore the students’ experiences. ResultsThe analysis allows us to acknowledge changes in the students’ attitudes towards the course, their roles in the classroom, and conceptual understandings that we organized in four phases from initial bewilderment and resistance, to the active and applied integration of knowledge. ConclusionsWe discuss how different levels and layers of playfulness can sustain the difficulties student teachers’ face during their epistemic change process.

410 Preparing yourself, or your students, for a career in the animal science industries

Abstract Preparing yourself, or your students, for a career in Animal Science related industries may seem to require a crystal ball. As important as the specific knowledge might seem, the animal science students of tomorrow will need skills, perspective, an open mindset, the ability to think critically and a desire to be a problem solver. Careers going forward will reward the polymaths who are adaptable and resilient. Experiential training, a hallmark of animal science teaching in recent decades, should, in future, cross three domains: research, animal management and work. Experience in identifying pertinent research questions, forming hypotheses, a plan to test them and skills to analyze the results will be crucial to solving livestock-related challenges of the future. Living the day-to-day experience of a livestock producer will create graduates who are better grounded in and empathetic to the reality of livestock management. And lastly, internships can provide great insight into the demands of, and varied skills required to succeed in, the workplace. Our curricula for the animal science employee of the future should have depth and a great deal of breadth. Excellent understanding of the basic sciences: chemistry, biology, physiology, microbiology, is a given in order that employees can grasp the ever-deeper level of knowledge we have of animal-based systems. In our view, careers of the future will also require working knowledge of a wide swath of disciplines. Students should recognize the increasing likelihood that they may work in a small, entrepreneurial business at some point in their career. In addition to their animal science expertise, they may be called upon to contribute to initiatives in marketing, finance, innovation, global trade, data analytics, communications, One Health, compliance, sustainability or business ethics, to name a few. At the risk of being labeled as a “jack of all trades and master of none”, the animal science employee of the future will need multiple skillsets, the flexibility to draw on all of them and the willingness to step up and contribute to the success of their employer.

Evaluation of the feasibility of equine in-vivo ultrasound technique for the medial branch of the dorsal ramus of the cervical spinal nerves

Ultrasound-guided local anaesthesia is commonly used in veterinary orthopaedics for horses. This study aimed to assess an in vivo ultrasound technique for the medial branch of the dorsal branch of the cervical spinal nerves (MB-DBCSNs) in horses and compare the performance of clinicians with different experience levels. Ten healthy, skeletally mature horses were examined using radiographic and ultrasound (US) techniques in the cervical area (C3–C7). Four operators with varying experience conducted US examinations using a 10 MHz linear and 6 MHz curvilinear transducer over ten training sessions. The number of cervical nerves visualized was recorded. A chi-square test was used to analyse the impact of training, anatomical location, and operator experience on the identification of facet joints. Operator agreement was evaluated with Cohen’s K test. The operators assessed 80 MB-DBCSNs, with radiographs and identified 70 healthy and 10 pathological facet joints. Training significantly improved visualization success, reaching 90% in later sessions. Cranial facet joints (C3–C5) were more frequently visualized (81%) than caudal ones (C5–C7) were (59%). US performance was influenced by the operator’s skill, and agreement among operators ranged from slight to fair. Overall, practice improved cervical nerve visualization in vivo, particularly for cranial nerves, but the technique requires a long learning curve because of low levels of operator agreement.

Exploring the validity of perceived velocity in lower-limb resistance exercises with a cluster-set configuration

This feasibility study aimed to explore the relationship between mean propulsive velocity (MPV) and a scale of perceived velocity (SPV) in back-squat and deadlift exercises performed with heavy loads during a cluster-sets resistance training (CS-RT). Twelve resistance trained males (24.1[2.94] years; 80.7[9.05] kg; 172[4.7] cm; 19.1[6.17] %BF; 4.71[2.72] years of training experience) participated. Participants visited the laboratory three times, spaced 72 to 96 hours. Load-velocity profiles for each exercise were measured in first visit. During the second and third visits, participants engaged in CS-RT sessions with different intra-set rest period (20 vs 40 seconds, randomly), and consisted of three sets of squat and deadlift exercises at 80%1-RM. Each set concluded upon reaching a 10% velocity loss on two occasions. Bayesian Pearson correlation coefficients (r), 95% credible intervals (95%CrI) and Bayes factors (BF10) were computed to assess the relationship between variables. A low positive correlation was observed between MPV and SPV in deadlift (r=0.368, 95%CrI [0.144, 0.544]), with strong evidence supporting the alternative hypothesis (BF10=20.7). Interestingly, moderate correlation values were observed in the 40-second CS-RT configuration (r=0.47, 95%CrI [0.144, 0.544]) and in the first set of the deadlift (r=0.44, 95%CrI [0.118, 0.654]). Conversely, a negligible Bayesian correlation was identified for squat (r=0.101, 95%CrI [-0.132, 0.319]), with substantial evidence favoring the null hypothesis (BF10=0.208). In conclusion, a positive correlation between MPV and SPV in deadlift during a CS-RT configuration, indicating potential utility for perceived velocity. However, velocity feedback prior SPV use and validity for squatting warrants further investigation. Keywords: Strength training, Perception, Powerlifting, Physical performance, Cluster training.

Healthcare compassion interventions co-design and feasibility inquiry with clinicians and healthcare leaders in Aotearoa/New Zealand

Compassion in healthcare is valued by patients, healthcare professionals (HCPs), and leads to improved outcomes. Notwithstanding reports of systemic failings in the provision of compassionate care, research regarding ways to intervene remains limited. The aim of this study is to clarify compassion intervention needs in a diverse HCP workforce in public secondary healthcare in Aotearoa New Zealand (NZ) by utilising a co-design process. The co-design process involved a series of workshops with clinicians followed by in-depth interviews with healthcare leaders to derive input regarding feasibility and implementation. Reflexive thematic analysis was used to analyze the data. There was a great deal of interest in compassion interventions from healthcare professionals and leaders. However, for compassion interventions to be acceptable, feasible, and effective, compassion interventions design should be reimagined and reflected at each step of interventional design and implementation and span across organizational levels. Namely, the results of the study showed the preference for non-individual focused multi-level interventions to build bridges and connections. The desired compassion intervention components included practising connecting with others' humanity, improving compassion knowledge and relational and reflective skills, and cultural safety and anti-racism training. Experiential training embedded in models of cultural dialogue was the preferred interventional modality. Prioritising leadership as an intervention site was suggested to improve leadership's buy-in of compassion interventions and possibly serve as a starting point for transforming the broader culture, reviving interconnectedness in a healthcare system described as fragmented, disconnected, and alienating with compassion also acting as an equalizer of power.

Using the problem description method, this paper analyzes and describes the relevant problems in the research progress of the application of physical education and functional strength training in college, and summarizes and explains them. It is clear that the expression of functional strength training in many studies can clearly identify the needs of solving the problems embodied in the current college physical education and promoting the physical health, mental health, exercise habits and social adaptability of college students.

Integrating frailty management into cardiac intensive care unit nursing practice: A qualitative study

BackgroundFrailty is prevalent among older patients in intensive care units (ICUs) and poses significant challenges to recovery. Despite its importance, there is limited research on effective nurse-led frailty management strategies in this context. ObjectiveThe purpose of this qualitative study was to explore nurses' perceptions of frailty management in cardiac ICUs through the lens of the Wuli-Shili-Renli (WSR) system approach. MethodsSixteen nurses from two tertiary hospitals in Shandong province, China, participated in semi-structured interviews. Participants were selected based on their involvement in frailty training, educational background, and cardiac ICU work experience. Thematic analysis was conducted to identify key themes and sub-themes. ResultsAnalysis in three categories revealed the need for foundational support, including the need for appropriate screening tools, updated evidence-based practices, and institutional support. Closed-loop management involved frailty screening, personalized program implementation, information management, and follow-up assessment. Personnel training and coordination emphasized enhancing nurses' professionalism, multidisciplinary teamwork, and cooperation from patients and their caregivers. ConclusionThe insights gained can inform evidence-based practices and improve the quality of care provided to frail patients in cardiac ICUs. There is a need for future research to empirically investigate these strategies.

Implementing Autonomous Control in the Digital-Twins-Based Internet of Robotic Things for Remote Patient Monitoring.

Conventional patient monitoring methods require skin-to-skin contact, continuous observation, and long working shifts, causing physical and mental stress for medical professionals. Remote patient monitoring (RPM) assists healthcare workers in monitoring patients distantly using various wearable sensors, reducing stress and infection risk. RPM can be enabled by using the Digital Twins (DTs)-based Internet of Robotic Things (IoRT) that merges robotics with the Internet of Things (IoT) and creates a virtual twin (VT) that acquires sensor data from the physical twin (PT) during operation to reflect its behavior. However, manual navigation of PT causes cognitive fatigue for the operator, affecting trust dynamics, satisfaction, and task performance. Also, operating manual systems requires proper training and long-term experience. This research implements autonomous control in the DTs-based IoRT to remotely monitor patients with chronic or contagious diseases. This work extends our previous paper that required the user to manually operate the PT using its VT to collect patient data for medical inspection. The proposed decision-making algorithm enables the PT to autonomously navigate towards the patient's room, collect and transmit health data, and return to the base station while avoiding various obstacles. Rather than manually navigating, the medical personnel direct the PT to a specific target position using the Menu buttons. The medical staff can monitor the PT and the received sensor information in the pre-built virtual environment (VE). Based on the operator's preference, manual control of the PT is also achievable. The experimental outcomes and comparative analysis verify the efficiency of the proposed system.

WP6.14 - Automated analysis of operative video in surgical training: Scoping review

Abstract Aims There is an increasing availability of operative video for use in surgical training. Emerging technologies can now assess video footage and automatically generate metrics that could be harnessed to improve the assessment of operative performance. This scoping review explores the current application of automated video analytics in surgical training. Methods PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science and the Cochrane database were searched to identify studies which applied automated video analytics to trainee-performed operations. Search terms included ‘trainee’, ‘video analytics’ and ‘education’. Two reviewers independently screened and extracted data on the methods of analysis, metrics generated and application to training. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses extension for Scoping Review (PRISMA-ScR) guidelines were followed. Results Thirteen studies were identified. Computer vision tracking was the most common method of video analysis. Metrics were generated for processes (e.g. movement of instruments) and outcomes (e.g. intraoperative phase duration). Two studies generated metrics to assess critical safety elements (e.g. critical view of safety in laparoscopic cholecystectomy). Automated metrics were able to differentiate between different skill levels (e.g. consultant vs. trainee) and correlated with traditional methods of assessment. There was a lack of longitudinal application to training and only one qualitative study reported the experience of trainees using automated video analytics. Conclusion Automated video analytics is an emerging field which provides an objective assessment of operative performance. Gathering evidence to demonstrate the impact of long-term use on training outcomes is a priority for future research.
