Current practice and unmet training needs in robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy: investigation from the Junior ERUS/YAU working group.

To access the current scenario of robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy training in multiple centers worldwide. We created a multiple-choice questionnaire assessing all details of robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy training with 41 questions divided into three different categories (responder demography, surgical steps, and responder experience). The questionnaire was created and disseminated using the "Google Docs" platform. All responders had an individual invitation by direct message or Email. We selected urologists who had recently finished a postgraduation urologic robotic surgery training (fellowship) in the last five years. We sent 624 invitations to urologists from 138 centers, from January 10th to April 10th, 2022. The answers were reported as percentages and illustrated in pie charts. The response rate was 58% among all centers invited (138/81), 20% among all individual invitations (122/624 answers). Globally, we gathered responses from 23 countries. Most surgeons were older than 34years, 71% trained in an academic center, and 64% performed less than ten full RARP cases. Transperitoneal is the most common access, and 63% routinely opens the endopelvic fascia. Almost 90% perform the Rocco's stitch, and 94% perform the anastomosis with barbed sutures. Finally, only 31% of surgeons assisted more than 100 cases before moving to the console, and most surgeons (63.9%) performed less than ten full RARP cases during their training. By assessing the robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy training status in 23 countries and 81 centers worldwide, we assessed the trainees' demography, step-by-step surgical technique, training perspectives, and impressions of surgeons who trained in the last five years. This data is crucial for a better understanding the trainee's standpoint, addressing potential deficiencies, and implementing improvements needed in the training process. Our study clearly indicates elements of current training modalities that are prone to major improvement.

English Teachers’ Tecnological Knowledge and Some Barriers on It: The Basis for Developing TPACK Teaching Model

Along with the dynamic development of technology and the need for technology integration in today's learning, technology has become an important element in educational organizations. programs and applications that have been mastered by teachers, namely PowerPoint, Google Translate, Google Doc, the internet, and all forms of technological offerings can undoubtedly support the blended learning pattern which then becomes a learning necessity. Teachers' content and and pedagogical knowledge must be supported by their technological knowledge. The aim of this research is to conduct qualitative research by means of doing semi-structured interview and checking teachers' daily journals about technologies applied in their teaching and learning processes and also the problems of applying those technologies. It was found that there are some technologies commonly used as the instruments of teaching by those 10 teachers in their teaching and learning processes after the pandemic such as: Google Meet, Google Classroom, and WA Group. Next to that, it was also found that there are some common barriers experienced by the teachers in the application of those technologies, such as: hardware and software problems, connectivity, financial problem, protection of personal information, technical support, lack of face-to-face interaction, psychological problems, and language barrier. The result if this research is expected that it can be used as the basis to develop appropriate technologies for teaching English for students to support their CK and PK regarding the implementation of TPACK at school.

Short-term Side Effects Raises Following Covid-19 Vaccination Among Healthcare Workers

BackgroundVaccination against COVID-19 diminishes the risk of infection and provides robust protection against severe illnesses and death when coupled with existing preventive measures. Despite comprehensive research, there are still complaints of short-term side effects of COVID-19 vaccines among healthcare workers. This study aims to specifically identify the short-term side effects that manifest after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine. MethodologyA descriptive cross-sectional hospital-based study included 100 Healthcare Workers (HCWs) at Soba University Hospital from April to May 2022, focusing on Short-Term Side Effects following Covid-19 Vaccination. Data were collected using a structured interview questionnaire distributed via Google Docs and Microsoft Teams. The survey was sent to healthcare workers, including doctors, nurses, and others, through email and WhatsApp. Chi-square, t-test, and logistic regression analyses were employed to assess the determinants and associations between side effects after COVID-19 vaccination and other variables using STATA version 17 software. ResultsAmong the 100 participants, nearly half (42 %) were in the age group of 20 to 30 years, and over two-thirds (61 %) of the participants were female, with 31 % being registered nurses. The majority, 91 %, received the AstraZeneca vaccine. This current study revealed a statistically significant relationship between the onset of symptoms and the type of vaccine (AstraZeneca) with a p-value of 0.001. Additionally, a statistically significant relationship was observed between muscular pain, fever, itching as side effects, and AstraZeneca, with p-values less than 0.05. Logistic regression indicated that male nurses between 31–40 years were almost 61 % less likely to report side effects. ConclusionThe study concluded that most of those who took the vaccination of COVID-19 experienced short-term side effects including chills, fever, muscle pain, and headache after receiving the vaccine after each dose but they did not develop diarrhea.

Students’ Perceptions of Google Tools on Supporting Self-Regulated Learning in an Asynchronous Course

The study investigated students’ perceptions regarding the use of an integrated set of five Google Tools (i.e., Google Classroom, Google Sites, Google Slides, Google Docs, and Google Forms) in creating a Computer-Mediated Communication (CMC) environment for self-regulated learning in an asynchronous course. Using a mixed-method convergent research design, a single online questionnaire comprising close- and open-ended questions was used to collect quantitative and qualitative data. Purposive sampling was employed, and two cohorts of undergraduate education majors were chosen. 114 participants completed the questionnaire. Quantitative data from Likert items were subjected to descriptive analysis and supplemented with students’ open-ended narratives, while specific qualitative data were examined with inductive thematic analysis. The quantitative findings revealed that students positively perceived the integrated set of Google Tools in terms of its usefulness, ease of use, confirmation, satisfaction, and continuance intention for supporting their self-regulated learning. The qualitative findings highlight students’ predominantly positive perception of Google Classroom as a Learning Management System (LMS) for self-regulated learning, stemming from its ease of use, efficient interface, and notification and reminder features. Minimal instances of other perceptions were also observed. The study proposes practical implications for educators to facilitate students’ online self-regulated learning by leveraging and integrating these five Google Tools in forming a CMC environment. Recommendations include allocating adjustment time and practice tasks to help students familiarize with the tools for smooth online learning.

ATIVIDADE FÍSICA, ALIMENTAÇÃO E SONO EM ATLETAS APÓS UM ANO DA PANDEMIA DE COVID-19

ABSTRACT Introduction: The pandemic caused by COVID-19 has resulted in worrying effects related to the “new” habits adopted by the population. The long period of school closures and social isolation have profoundly impacted the learning, health, and protection of children and adolescents. Objective: To re-evaluate school athletes quarantined by COVID-19, highlighting the main physical activity (PA), eating and sleeping habits, and the implications related to physical and mental health after one year of the pandemic in the city of Curitiba, Brazil. Methods: Two surveys were conducted, 342 attended the first assessment, and 222 attended the second. An online questionnaire (Google docs) was applied to the students, consisting of 18 closed and open questions in the first moment (beginning of the pandemic) and 22 at the second moment (after one year of the pandemic). Results: Half of the students (53.2%; 57%) reported eating up to three meals daily. With regard to sleeping hours, the majority of students (80%; 79.5%) were able to sleep at night between 6:00 and 10:00. There was a significant decrease in the time spent on social networks, migrating to school activities (p <0.005). Approximately a quarter of the student-athletes (27%) practiced PA every day and felt fulfilled in the first assessment, and in the second assessment, this number increased to 43% (p = 0.009). Conclusion: Despite the decrease in screen time and the increase in regular PA, there was an increase in body weight in more than a third of the athletes evaluated. Those who maintained their body weight maintained healthier lifestyles with several meals within the recommended range and slept 6 to 10 hours per night. Level of Evidence III; Retrospective comparative study.

Prevalence of Increased Screen usage during Nationwide Lockdown for Containing COVID-19 and its Ocular Implications

Purpose: We aim to assess the prevalence of increased screen usage among Indians during lockdown due to COVID-19 pandemic and its associations with self-reported dry eye symptoms. Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted in April 2020 during the total lockdown period for containment of COVID-19 virus. 382 healthy participants facing home confinement due to lockdown were enrolled. Symptoms of dry eye and amount of screen time were assessed by means of an online questionnaire. The questionnaire was freely accessible and participants were recruited by sharing the questionnaire, prepared on Google Docs, on various social networking platforms. The survey was open for responses for 3 weeks. All valid responses were tabulated and analysed using Microsoft Excel spread sheets and licensed SPSS version 26. Result: We found that about 86% of surveyed candidates reported an increase in time spent on smartphones and other video display gadgets during the lockdown. Higher prevalence rates for symptomatic dry eye were observed in individuals who reported increased daily exposure to smartphones during the lockdown as compared to those who did not (23.03% vs 9.61%; OR 2.914, 95% CI: 2.682-2.976; p<0.05). Longer daily smartphone use (>4 hours) was associated with a higher mean number of ocular symptoms (4-6 symptoms in 32.08% vs 26.06%), need of voluntary abstinence from screen (p<0.05) and the need of eye drops to feel better (p<0.05). Internal consistency was moderate (Cronbach's alpha = 0.674), indicating some variability in reporting. Conclusion: COVID-19 containing lockdown has seen society pivot from real world interactions to the online space. Recognising the collateral effects of the lockdown on screen usage and its implications on ocular health is imperative to alert the general public about such hazards.

A Study on Media Literacy Use in School-Age Children with Language Disorder

They should be provided with new means of communication that emerge with the changing times. They should be able to recognize the advantages of the features of different media so that they can use the media usefully. The author believes that the effective and appropriate use of media literacy for elementary school students with disabilities will result in a positive impact. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the actual level of media literacy among School-age language disorder with disabilities and explore ways to promote it in a therapeutic aspect. Of the 40 people, 4 who did not respond appropriately were excluded, resulting in 36 people. In order to find out the status of media literacy use by speech rehabilitation workers currently working in language clinical sites, an online survey using Google Docs and a paper questionnaire were administered to the subjects. For the purpose of the study, ‘A survey on the use of media literacy by school-age children with language disorder’, the purpose of this study, the direction of data use, and how to complete the questionnaire were explained. We investigated the status and status of media use among school-age children with language disorder. The media used by the target children for more than 3 hours were games, animation, and Youtube. Among media outlets, it can be seen that SNS usage time is less than 2hours. And it was found that the target children were using all media, including TV, Game, Animation, Youtube, SNS, Movie/Drama, and Internet portal search. School-age children with language disorder had excellent use skills related to media devices, such as searching task-related keywords, grasping various contents, and finding task information. On the other hand, the subjects showed a low ability to use online information to evaluate its rationality and fairness. Lastly, all of the target children had low scores on questions related to media production ability. In particular, by understanding the current status of school-age media literacy content, it will be possible to identify the advantages of the characteristics of various media and apply them usefully in treatment.

Climate Fiction for the Classroom through Ecocriticism and Collaborative Digital Text Annotation

This study took a humanities approach to climate change education, focusing on climate fiction texts in the literature classroom, namely: Barakat Akinsiku’s “The God of the Sea,” Sigrid Marianne Gayangos’s “Galansiyang,” and Jules Hogan’s “Those They Left Behind” from Everything Change: An Anthology of Climate Fiction, Volume III (2021). This encompassed the Quarter 3, Week 7 literature competency in the DepEd Grade 10 curriculum context. In-depth discussion of the cli-fi texts was made possible through the crafting of a lesson exemplar, writing of discussion questions through an ecocritical lens, and using Collaborative Digital Text Annotation (CDTA) as an evaluative reading tool which engendered student responses to the text and interactions within the CDTA activity. Thematic analysis was used in interpreting the digital text annotations which revealed four different themes: drawing out story elements, connecting the text to the real world, performing evaluative reading, and expressing random reactions under which the students' responses to the cli-fi texts were classified. The researchers recommend using online applications such as Google Docs as digital annotation tools during collaborative classroom reading. Also, literature classroom facilitators should create a concrete reward system to encourage students' enthusiasm during the CDTA activities and to achieve the collaborative aspect of the CDTA. Lastly, other reading strategies for evaluating cli-fi texts must be explored.

Impact of Outpatient Quality Services on Patient Satisfaction

Abstract: Background: The success and survival of any healthcare organization depends on the patient’s satisfaction and quality. Patient satisfaction plays a vital role in the performance of care. Objective: To identify the factors influencing patient satisfaction with outpatient quality services in public and private hospitals. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted on outpatient patients from different public and private hospital settings in Karachi, Pakistan. Data was collected through virtual tools such as Google Docs, asking about their experience of outdoor patients (OPD) in public or private hospitals. Using a non-probability, convenience sampling technique, a 5% margin of error and a confidence interval of 95%, the sample size was calculated as 377 participants rounded off to 400. Respondents were divided into males and females who visited any specialty department or general OPD. A self-administered questionnaire was designed to gather data, and a digital tool such as Google Docs was used to reach a wider audience. The reliability of the pre-validated tools has been assessed through Cronbach’s alpha. The Cronbach alpha for outpatient quality services is 0.717, and patients’ satisfaction is 0.98. The data were analyzed using the SPSS 25V by IBM Corporation. Result: Most respondents were from the age group (26-35 years), making up 42% of the entire population. Data gathered showed private hospitals preference over public hospitals and satisfaction as well. All the quality service variables identified in the study had a direct relationship with patient satisfaction except waiting time, which had a negative relationship. Regression Analysis showed a positive impact on the availability of services; thus 1% increase in service will lead to a 0.484% change in patient satisfaction. A negative relationship was also witnessed with a 1% increase in waiting time patient satisfaction is down by 0.119%. Conclusion: The level of satisfaction in public hospitals was not quite adequate, and the services were correspondingly rated as exceptional. The findings suggest that focusing on the nature of physician-related services, waiting for test results, and waiting for appointments are the most important factors impacting patient satisfaction in the outpatient division.

Breaking barriers: exploring physiotherapists' willingness and challenges in embracing telerehabilitation in a developing country.

Telerehabilitation (TR) is an innovative approach that can address the limited availability and restricted access to rehabilitation services, particularly during challenging times such as pandemics and natural disasters. This study focuses on understanding the desires, perceptions, and barriers that physiotherapists face when implementing TR in a developing country. The study was conducted with 219 physiotherapists residing in a developing country using a web-based survey on Google Docs. The findings revealed that a significant majority of physiotherapists (88.1%) recognized TR as a potential solution for individuals with physical problems during the pandemic. Additionally, 89.5% expressed satisfaction with the opportunity to receive consultations from different hospitals, indicating a positive perception of TR. However, the study also highlighted certain barriers that hindered the implementation of TR. Around 40.2% of physiotherapists reported having training deficiencies, suggesting a need for educational support in utilizing TR effectively. Furthermore, the analysis of demographic factors revealed interesting insights. It was noteworthy that the age and years of experience of physiotherapists had an impact on their willingness and adoption of TR. The study reveals that physiotherapists in the developing country exhibit a positive attitude towards TR and recognize its potential benefits. However, various barriers, such as training deficiencies, need to be addressed to facilitate a broader adoption of TR in their practices. Overcoming these barriers is anticipated to heighten physiotherapists' readiness to embrace TR, ultimately enhancing the accessibility and delivery of rehabilitation services.

Türkiye’de Veteriner Fakültesi Öğrencilerinin COVID -19 Pandemisinde Uzaktan Eğitim Sürecine Yönelik Derslerin İşlenme Yöntemi ve Teknik Olanakların Değerlendirilmesi

Covid-19 has caused the death of nearly 5 million people and severe problems in education and all areas of life. When the first case was detected in Turkey, education was suspended in all educational institutions on March 16, 2020. It was decided to continue education in the digital environment through distance and open education for the 2019-2020 spring academic semester. The survey study aimed to evaluate the opinions and thoughts of veterinary students about the methods and technical possibilities of distance education courses. The survey was conducted with 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th-year 1,599 students studying at Veterinary Faculty in Turkey who have experience in both face-to-face and distance education via “Google Docs” between December 10, 2020, and January 11, 2021. It was determined that the rate of those using their computer is 67.2%. However, the difficulties of online courses were determined by the lack of professional development (75.4%), technical problems (73.3%), accessing the Internet (56.8%), etc. Although students find the course time sufficient, courses should be supported with PDF, Word, and PowerPoint documents (78.2%). In addition to the safety concerns of distance education, students say they do not prefer it since it is an application-oriented field in veterinary medicine education and technical problems. It can be suggested that the concerns of students, such as professional development and professional-social interaction due to being away from school, can be eliminated with support training to be held after the pandemic.

The researcher's experience when conducting field experience practice (PPL) at PGRI Vocational High School 1 Palembang served as inspiration for this research. The researcher found that students experience problems when they want to write, including due to a lack of practice, a weakness in using correct grammar, and a lack of motivation. Therefore, in this study, the researcher used a collaborative learning method using Google Docs. The aimed of this research is to implement the use of Google Docs with grade XI students in collaborative writing of descriptive paragraphs and to determine students' perceptions of the use of Google Docs in collaborative writing of descriptive paragraphs. This research used the descriptive-qualitative method with a sample of 32 students. Data were collected through observation, questionnaires, and documentation. Looking at the results of students' implementation of the use of Google Docs in collaborative writing of descriptive paragraphs, it is said to be successful because students are able to exceed the KKM score of 75. For students' perceptions, it can be said to be a positive perception because most of them strongly agreed and agreed on the 20 questionnaire statements that researchers distributed; this means that students were able to write the text better.

CALL FOR APPLICATIONS: IMPROVE SCHOLARS WRITING SKILLS BY USING ONLINE COLABORATIVE WRITING

Computer-assisted language learning (CALL) is a guidelines approach that utilizes innovation to improve dialect capability, especially in composing. Scholars have access to different programs or websites that can help them in moving forward with their composing aptitudes. In this specific consideration, the center was on examining whether the utilization of Google Docs for online collaborative composing seems upgrade learners' composing capacities. The members of the study were scholars selected within the English Literature Study Program (Bachelor Degree) at Mahasaraswati University. A add up to of 60 scholars were chosen as tests, with 30 scholars doled out to the Treatment group and another 30 to the Test group. Amid a 4-week composing course, the tests locked in bunch composting hones utilizing Google Docs. Information collection included regulating pre-tests, post-tests, and surveys, which were at that point analyzed employing a blended strategies approach. The discoveries show that the Free Tests t-Test (t-count) yielded a score of 6.531, whereas the t-table esteem was 2.007, and the p-value was 0.000. These come about suggest that utilizing Google Docs as a stage for collaborative composing exercises encompasses a critical effect on scholars' composing aptitudes. The truth that the t-count scores surpass the t-table values and the p-values are below 0.05 demonstrates the nearness of a normal contrast between the scores of the Treatment class scholars and the Test class scholars

Teledentistry is a field of telemedicine that combines digital technology and clinical dentistry, enabling remote communication between dentists and patients. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the knowledge and awareness of dentists and patients about teledentistry in Turkey. This cross-sectional study was conducted among general and specialist dentists in Turkey, and dental patients in Edirne, Turkey. A questionnaire prepared in Google Docs was shared virtually among Turkish dentists, as well as administered to the patients referred to the university dental clinic in Edirne. Among the 336 dentists participating in the study, 69.9% were female, 39.6% were working in the profession for 1-5 years, and 48.5% were specialist dentists. A total of 86.9% of dentists stated they would like to use teledentistry for radiological examinations, some follow-up examinations, and for follow-up during holidays. There were 21.1% of dentists who thought that teledentistry practices could be the new standard of oral healthcare, and only 34.0% were willing to try such practices. Among the 447 patients in the study, 49.9% were female, 79.0% were aged 20-44 years, and 54.4% had middle income. There were 74.5% of patients who stated that it would be easier to communicate with the dentist via a teledentistry application, 80.3% of patients in the underserved regions stated it would facilitate access to the dentist, 76.3% of patients stated that it would reduce costs, and 88.8% of patients thought that this method could help overcome the problem of isolation during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-2019) pandemic period. Based on the results, it can be said that the teledentistry approach would provide convenience for both dentists and patients in terms of dentist-patient communication, cost and efficiency of dental care.

Online Student Team Learning in a Flipped Classroom

Collaboration among students working in groups to master new material has been defined as “student team learning.” While past research has focused on student team learning in the classroom, this study presents evidence of student team learning by students working in groups online in a flipped learning environment. An online group activity conducted during a classroom offering of an upper-level university course in the fall of 2019 is compared with the same group activity conducted during an asynchronous offering of the same course in the spring of 2021. On both occasions, groups used Google Docs, and screenshots reveal that student team learning occurred similarly within groups working online in the classroom and in an asynchronous course. The evidence provided is particularly relevant in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has accelerated the development at universities worldwide of simultaneous classroom and asynchronous offerings of courses.
