Exercise has been considered an important adjuvant therapy for health promotion and improving the pulmonary function of PLWH. However studies are lacking on the effects circuit exercise training on o2 saturation and pulmonary function of PLWH. Objective: This study determined the effect of moderate intensity circuit exercise programme on the O2 saturation and pulmonary function of PLWH. Methods: The study design was a pretest-posttest randomized controlled design. A total of 120 participants were recruited from the HIV clinic of a teaching hospital. Fish bowl method was used to randomize the participants to control group or exercise group. Moderate intensity (50 – 75% MHR) circuit exercise programme was administered to the participants 3 times a week between 30-60 minutes per session for 8 weeks. Pulse Oximeter and hand held spirometer were used to measure the oxygen saturation and some pulmonary functions respectively. Measurement were taken at baseline and at 8-week. Descriptive statistics of mean, standard deviation and percentages were used to summarize demographic data. Paired sample t-test and Independent sample t-test determined the mean difference within the groups and between the groups respectively. Alpha level was set at P<0.05. Results: There was significant difference in the mean score of O2 saturation and pulmonary function within the exercise group after 8-week exercise intervention. There was significant difference in the mean score of O2 saturation and pulmonary function between the control group and exercise group after 8-week exercise intervention. Conclusion: An 8-week circuit exercise programme brought about improvement in O2 saturation and pulmonary function of PLWH.

Effectiveness of Exergaming in Improving Well-Being of Older Adults Living in Institutionalized Centers: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial Study

Aim: To determine the effectiveness of exergaming in improving the well-being of older adults living in institutionalized centers. Methods: This two-arm pilot pre-post assessment randomized controlled trial was conducted among older adults living in institutionalized centers in the Philippines. Participating centers were allocated through the fishbowl method for six weeks to the Controlled Group (n = 8) and Experimental Group (n = 6). The pre-posttest outcomes of the interventions were assessed, and well-being was quantified using the Short Form-36 (SF-36). Results: Fourteen participants with mean age, 64.64 years old + 4.57 SD (nine female and five male participants) were included in the study. The results showed an improvement in the SF-36 subsets of Physical Functioning, Energy/Fatigue, and Emotional Well-being (p <0.01) of older adults who used exergaming while those under the control group experienced an improvement in the Physical Functioning, Energy/Fatigue, Emotional Well-being, and General Health subsets (p<0.01). However, comparison of outcomes from baseline until after four-week assessment between groups revealed no significant difference (p >0.05) Conclusion and Implications: Exergaming suggests no improvement in the general well-being as measured by SF-36. However, exergaming effectively improved the subsets of older adults' physical, emotional, and psychological well-being in institutionalized centers. Exergaming also has the same effect as physical/aerobic exercises in older adults living in institutionalized centers. This pilot study serves as a basis for future implementation of a fully powered randomized controlled trial design assessing improvements and long-term effects.

Prediscussion and Postdiscussion Assessment Scores in a Self-directed learning module implemented in the department of biochemistry: A comparative study

Background: Self-directed learning (SDL) is an important tool for transforming medical students into lifelong learners so that they are competent to identify their learning needs, allocate resources, and evaluate the learning process throughout their career. Recently, the Medical Council of India has introduced SDL as an essential component of the competency-based medical education curriculum and has allocated fixed hours for SDL in all undergraduate MBBS students. Regarding the role of facilitators in SDL program, there are controversial reports and there are even studies which have shown that the role of a facilitator is not important. Aim: The proposed study aimed to assess students' performance before and after discussion in an SDL module in small-group teaching–learning method and compare the performance scores. Methodology: A total of 117 students responded and were included in the study. Batch A had 59 students and Batch B had 58 students. The topic selected for the SDL module was “Heme degradation and Jaundice.” The module was conducted over two contact sessions, Session 1 and Session 2, which were conducted 5 days apart. The prediscussion and postdiscussion assessment questionnaire was also prepared. Session 1 was conducted during a 1-h SDL slot. A gap of 4 days was given to students for doing self-study and to learn the topic. The prediscussion questionnaire consisting of five multiple-choice questions related to the topic was shared with the students a day before the second contact session. Session 2 was conducted during the 2-h tutorial slot (over 2 consecutive days for two batches of the class, Batch A and Batch B, respectively). Fishbowl method of small-group teaching–learning was done followed by postdiscussion questionnaire. Results: The questionnaire was analyzed, and it was observed that the overall mean performance of students improved considerably (78.3%–87.7%) in the questions related to core concept (Q1, Q2, and Q3). Similarly, in the questions related to clinical aspects of the topic, the mean performance of students showed considerable improvement from prediscussion to postdiscussion assessment (86%–93.5%). Conclusion: We conclude that the SDL module should be meticulously planned keeping in mind the topic selected and the availability of infrastructure and workforce. Peer discussion is a very important aspect of the SDL module, and it shows improvement in learning outcomes in an SDL module.
