Effect of a BSHP process on clinical work ability of nurses in a children's cardiac intensive care unit.

Nurse shift change is the key step to ensuring the integrity, dynamics, and continuity of clinical nursing in intensive care units. To evaluate the effect of a bedside shift handover process (BSHP) on the clinical work ability of first-line clinical nurses in a children's cardiac intensive care unit (CICU). This quasi-experimental study was performed on the first-line clinical nurses working in a pediatric CICU at Children's Hospital of Nanjing Medical University between July and December, 2018. Participants were trained by the BSHP. This article is based on the STROBE checklist. A total of 41 nurses were trained, with 34 women. The nurses in the intensive care unit showed significantly improved clinical work ability, including the ability to assess illness/find problems, master professional knowledge, standardized hands-on ability, ability to express communication, strain handling capacity, and humanistic care and accomplishment (all P < 0.05), after training. BSHP might improve the clinical work ability for pediatric CICU nurses through a standardization shift handover. The traditional oral shift change in CICU can easily cause an information distortion, and it is difficult or even impossible to arouse the nurses' enthusiasm. This study suggested that BSHP might be an alternative shift change process for pediatric CICU nurses.

Reusing Waste Plastic Caps to Build Inexpensive and Easily Changeable Crystal Structure Models

An activity of using waste plastic caps and wooden sticks (or steel wires) to construct crystal structures is described. Caps with different colors represent different atoms/ions/interstices, and sticks are employed to carry the caps and describe the positions of atoms/ions/interstices. The cap-and-stick model clearly demonstrates crystal structure characteristics from multiple viewpoints. Students have participated in this activity, and their feedback suggests that the activity is helpful in deepening their comprehensions of lattice structures, unit cells, packing arrangements, distribution and filling of vacancies, and coordinates of atoms/ions/interstices and cultivating hands-on ability and a spirit of teamwork.

Research on the innovation of model based on the cultivation of talents in higher vocational art and design

Abstract Art and design are creative activities humans engage in to achieve certain purposes. The multiple characteristics of art and design also put forward more requirements for developing higher education art and design education. In this paper, starting from the problem that the multiple characteristics of art and design make it difficult to evaluate the teaching quality, the FAHP-FCE evaluation system is proposed to score the quality of art and design talents training. Firstly, fuzzy hierarchical analysis (FAHP) is used to construct a judgment matrix to filter out evaluation indexes. Secondly, multi-level fuzzy comprehensive evaluation (FCE) is used to evaluate the evaluation indexes to obtain the score. Finally, conclusions were drawn by comparing the effectiveness of the two teaching models. The research results show that the effectiveness of the FAHP-FCE evaluation system-based art and design talent training teaching model is assessed as 83.47 points, which is 34.11% more effective, 23% more design ability, 31% more learning ability and 26% more hands-on ability than the traditional teaching model. The talent cultivation model in this paper enables students to master abstract design ability, helps to expand the field of creative thinking, enriches the language of modeling and artistic imagination, and improves comprehensive design ability and learning ability.

Research on Curriculum Reform and Practice of “Signal and System”

The Signal and System course has many and abstract teaching content, with strong theoretical nature, complex mathematical formula derivation, and high requirements for mastering differential and integral. The experimental content of this course is also difficult to understand and master for students. To solve these problems in the teaching process of this course, this paper carries out teaching practice and reform on the signal and system experimental course from the construction of online teaching mode and the implementation of mixed teaching mode. After two semesters of mixed teaching practice, it is shown that the teaching method of combining online and offline experiments can give full play to students' learning subjectivity, improve students' hands-on ability and engineering application, and help improve the teaching effect of "signal and system experiment" course.

Development and implementation of a comprehensive ultrasound curriculum for medical students: The Bonn internship point-of-care-ultrasound curriculum (BI-POCUS).

Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is rapidly gaining ground within different areas of applications. Despite the high and increasing relevance of ultrasound, the availability of structured training programs in medical schools is still limited. Therefore, many doctors keep acquiring all their ultrasound skills throughout their postgraduate training. As a result, new residents lack theoretical and practical ultrasound abilities that are critical in everyday clinical practice. In order to improve this, we created and implemented a complete ultrasound curriculum for all medical students throughout their internship year that focuses on hands-on abilities in ultrasound imaging. We used Kern's six-step model of curricular development comprising (1) problem identification and general needs assessment, (2) needs assessment of the targeted learners, (3) goals and objectives, (4) educational strategies, (5) implementation, and (6) evaluation and feedback by board-certified ultrasound experts. A two rounds Delphi process with multilevel, self-completed questionnaires and individual using a 9-point Likert scale and free text comments was used to identify learning objectives and reach agreement on the content of the curriculum. The curriculum developed is aimed at students with no or little experience in their internship year and will be taught as part of their weekly-based internship training courses consisting of 2 hours of theory and 3 hours of practical training. The training will be conducted within a modular framework focusing on the key requirements of POCUS with increasing levels of complexity in accordance with the recommendations of the German Society for Ultrasound in Medicine (DEGUM), the European Federation of Societies for ultrasound in Medicine and Biology (EFSUMB) and the World Federation for ultrasound in Medicine and Biology (WFUMB). A longitudinal e-learning system will be implemented in addition to the practical and theoretical teaching units to track and examine the progress of the students. Early integration of ultrasound training into medical education as part of a structured and standardized broad ultrasound curriculum enables medical students to acquire basic skills and apply them practically. Fundamental scanning skills are acquired by hands-on exercises in small, supervised groups as part of BI-POCUS. BI-POCUS therefore provides an excellent opportunity to improve the clinical skills of future physicians. More research is needed to analyze the learning outcomes for medical students and the improvement of the patient's outcome by establishing such an ultrasound curriculum.

The Application of 3D Virtual Technology in the Teaching of Clinical Medicine

The booming development of 3D virtual technology provides the basis for the innovation of teaching mode of clinical medicine. Integrating 3D virtual technology into the clinical education teaching of medical students can help medical students learn clinical expertise more intuitively, enrich practical experience, improve hands-on ability, and make up for the shortcomings of traditional medical teaching. However, the traditional 3D modeling method has the problems of sparse and insufficient accuracy of output results, which greatly limits the specific application of 3D virtual technology in clinical teaching. Therefore, this paper addresses the shortcomings of previous 3D virtual technology in 3D modeling of organs, introduces deep learning, and then proposes a pyramidal shape perception network with the ability to generate samples on point clouds. Experimental results show that the proposed model not only has a large improvement in accuracy but also shows a high degree of confidence in providing real-time feedback of local image attributes.

Student Ability Cultivating of Electronic Technology Experimental Teaching Adapted To “New Engineering”

To meet the cultivating requirements of the high-quality engineering and technology talents for the development of “new engineering”, the electronic information major of the college vigorously carries out the reform of the electronic technology experimental teaching. The electronic technology experiment is an important basic practical course in the electronic information major, which plays an important role in the ability cultivation of the engineering practice talents. Combining with the current needs of China to vigorously develop the “new engineering” construction, this paper discusses the problems existing in the traditional electronic technology experimental courses and proposes to split the electronic technology related modules from the school-enterprise cooperation or currently popular practical topics for the experimental topic selection. This experimental topic requires students to use the virtual simulation software to simulate the experimental tasks and complete the assigned design tasks before the class, and then complete the physical circuit experiments in the offline practical courses, which can cultivate the students' design thinking, exercise the students' hands-on ability and consolidate the knowledge learned in theoretical teaching, thereby adapt to the development of the "new engineering".

A Game-Based Learning Approach in Digital Design Course to Enhance Students’ Competency

Digital Design is a laboratory course, and the educator must focus on the students’ need to know why they study the theory and mainly on the transition from knowledge-based learning to competency-based learning. This study consists of five surveys that were conducted during 2017–2021. First, we evaluated students’ learning outcomes in order to define possible learning problems. According to the literature, gamification can have a positive impact on students’ motivation and learning outcomes. Therefore, we used ready-made digital games in order to evaluate students’ satisfaction and willingness toward their integration in the educational process. This process was repeated in the next academic year. The feedback we received from the previous surveys has helped us to adapt to the new approaches of teaching due to the current pandemic caused by COVID-19. We proposed an online holistic environment based on Keller’s (1987) ARCS model and Malone’s (1981) motivational model, which was applied in distance learning. Each student participated in a student-centered learning experience. He took an active role and was self-manager of his learning process. He was given the opportunity to develop capabilities and strategies through practice and engagement in higher-order cognitive activities, acquire self-learning skills, learn how to solve problems, and participate in teamwork. This study’s innovation is that students experienced a combination of learning approaches: (a) a virtual lab consisting of simulation-based activities, which allowed students to access new laboratory experiences, (b) a project-based digital game without a processor, which developed their motivation, creativity, and hands-on ability, as opposed to the other relevant studies that use ready-made games, and (c) asynchronous videos as feedback, which ensured the educator’s emotional support and social presence. Finally, this study developed research to evaluate the effectiveness of this online holistic environment and used a questionnaire, which was created based on Keller’s Instructional Materials Motivation Survey tool. The results showed that its integration in distance learning is probable to motivate students to learn and affect positively their attention, relevance, confidence, and satisfaction.

Problem-based or lecture-based learning, old topic in the new field: a meta-analysis on the effects of PBL teaching method in Chinese standardized residency training

BackgroundStandardized residency training (SRT) is crucial for graduate medical education and the training of high-quality doctors. Nevertheless, China started SRT nationwide only in the recent decade. During these years, researchers have been searching for suitable teaching methods to improve the abilities of residents. Although the problem-based learning (PBL) teaching mode has been applied in undergraduate teaching for many years, the teaching effect of PBL has not been unified in Chinese SRT according to the core competences of the residents.MethodsStudies that compared the teaching effect of PBL and lecture-based learning (LBL) on SRT in China from January 2010 to April 2020 in the Chinese databases, such as China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), WanFang, WeiPu, Chinese BioMedical Literature (CBM), and English-language online databases, such as PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library were systematically reviewed. Data were analyzed using the Stata version 12.0 software.ResultsA total of 75 articles (76 studies) were included in this meta-analysis. Compared with LBL group, PBL-based methods are more effective in the mastery of medical theory knowledge (WMD = 7.14, 95% CI: 5.93–8.34), operational skills (WMD = 6.54, 95% CI: 4.55–8.53), analysis and diagnosis of cases (WMD = 8.52, 95% CI: 7.50–9.53), and overall capacity (WMD = 8.70, 95% CI: 6.87–10.53), but showed no advantage on operational skills in diagnostic imaging (WMD = 1.30, 95% CI: -0.11–2.71). The questionnaire surveys analyzed in this meta-analysis indicated the positive effects of PBL on the mastery of theoretical knowledge, clinical diagnostic thinking, teamwork ability, ability to analyze and solve problems, ability to consult documents, learning interest and learning efficiency, but that there were no advantages in improving self-directed learning ability, communication ability and hands-on ability. The questionnaire result analyzed in this meta-analysis also showed the residents’ satisfaction with PBL-based strategies.ConclusionsTaken together, the current meta-analysis provides a systematic and comprehensive analysis on PBL teaching mode in Chinese SRT and outlines a path for further research on the detailed design of suitable teaching methods for different specialties and abilities.
