Satisfaction with a new patient education program for children, adolescents, and young adults with differences of sex development (DSD) and their parents.

ObjectiveEvaluation of the participant satisfaction with a newly developed interdisciplinary, modular education program for children, adolescents, and young adults with differences of sex development (DSD) and their parents. MethodsThe two-day program including tailored medical information, peer consultation and psychological support aimed to improve diagnosis-specific knowledge and empowerment. Post-training satisfaction was measured using an adapted ZUF-8 questionnaire, scoring from 5 (worst) to a maximum of 26 (best) for persons aged 6–17 and from 10 to 40 points for adults, including 2 open-ended questions. ResultsThe questionnaire, completed by 89 children (6–13 years), 92 adolescents (14–17 years), 47 young adults (18–24 years), and 345 parents, revealed consistent high satisfaction with the program regardless of age or diagnosis (children 24.4 ± 2.1, adolescents 23.5 ± 2.7; young adults 36.0 ± 4.0, parents 36.6 ± 3.4). Neither sociodemographic factors nor diagnosis burden, shame, or informedness showed relevant associations with satisfaction levels. Participants highlighted exchange and open atmosphere as key satisfaction elements. ConclusionSatisfaction with the new education program was high in all examined groups. Implementing it in routine care requires further analysis to determine the program's long-term effects on well-being and knowledge. InnovationThe first educational program for young people with DSD addressing their specific challenges through inclusive language, an open approach to sex and gender and the inclusion of self-help groups.

The effectiveness of a child and parent-oriented modular education program on the prevention of child sexual abuse knowledge and parental views: A mixed method study

This study evaluates the effectiveness of a modular training program on the prevention of child sexual abuse (CSA) on the level of sexual abuse knowledge of children and their parents and the views of parents. The study was conducted in a sequential explanatory mixed-methods design. In the quantitative part of the research, a randomized quasi-experimental method with a pre-test/post-test, and a control group was used, and in the qualitative phase, the descriptive phenomenological method was used. The quantitative phase was conducted with 122 children and 122 parents: those who participated in the modular training (intervention group) and those who did not (control group). The qualitative part of the study was completed with 15 parents. The modular training program was applied by the researchers to the children in the intervention group and their parents in sessions on different days. Children and their parents were measured 4 times in total: pre-test before modular training, post-test after training, 15 days after training, and 1-month follow-up test. The sexual abuse knowledge levels of children who received modular training were higher than those who did not (post-test, follow-up 1, and follow-up 2). Post-test scores related to child abuse knowledge and attitude levels of parents were higher in the intervention group (21.45) than in the control group (10.37). Qualitative findings were grouped under three main themes: “CSA risk factors”, “insecurity”, and “prevention methods”. The training program is effective in increasing the knowledge of children and parents.

THE EDUCATION PATHWAY FOR NURSES IN MONTENEGRO

Nursing education in Montenegro has a relatively long tradition. Due to the great need for medical personnel in Montenegro, in 1946, a school for paramedics, caretakers, and nurses was opened in Cetinje, located in the facilities of the former Girls’ Institute. Since the establishment of the first school, there have been several reforms in nursing education. In Montenegro, nursing practice begins after the completion of nine years of general education. At both the secondary and higher education levels, there are two types of nursing education. After completing four years of secondary school, one can obtain the title of health technician. The educational program for the health technician was developed in accordance with occupational standards for pediatric and medical nursing. The development of a modular educational program for Health Technicians is currently underway. The Health Technician curriculum is based on occupational standards for various fields, including Health Technician for hospital work, Health Technician for primary healthcare institutions, Health Technician for preschool institutions, and Health Technician for geriatric and palliative care institutions. A person can acquire the title of nurse by completing a three-year higher education program, consisting of applied basic studies (bachelor’s degree). In addition to the basic studies, there are also one-year postgraduate applied specialist studies in healthcare and two-year Master’s studies in healthcare. In 2017, following the reaccreditation of the Faculty of Medicine in Podgorica, a study model was designed based on the 3+2 principle. This nursing education program, in alignment with European directives, enables the training of qualified personnel to provide healthcare services. Graduates of this program will have degrees recognized outside the borders of Montenegro.

Adaptability of Pediatric Residents for the International League Against Epilepsy-2017 Seizure Classification with a Modular Education Program.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the adaptability of pediatric residents to the current seizure classification of the International League Against Epilepsy-2017 (ILAE-2017) using a modular education program (MEP). The MEP design consisted of 8 modules, including 5 modules for the current version of the ILAE-2017 seizure classification and 3 modules for the older ILAE-1981 version. The MEP was implemented with a group of pediatric residents, and it comprised 50 illustrative pediatric seizure videos along with an instruction manual kit that included a seizure determinator. Following a 3-month follow-up period, a posttest was conducted using 58 new videos in the MEP. The overall success rates of the participants were similar both ILAE-2017 (41%) and ILAE-1981 (38.5%) seizure classifications in the post-MEP test. Regarding the ILAE-2017 mod- ules, the participants demonstrated a higher proficiency in classifying focal nonmotor seizures (56.3%) compared to focal motor seizures (34.9%). However, when it came to generalized seizures, the participants had significantly lower accuracy rates for generalized nonmotor seizures (26%) compared to generalized motor seizures (46%) with the ILAE-2017 classifica- tion. The seizure types that were most commonly misclassified, with an error rate exceeding 50%, were automatisms and myoclonic seizures within the focal seizure modules and atypical absences in generalized seizure modules of ILAE-2017. The single-day MEP yielded modest results, with a success rate of 41% in terms of the initial adaptability of pediatric residents to the ILAE-2017 seizure classification. However, to ensure successful implementation of the ILAE-2017 classification in clinical practice, additional booster applications of the MEP are required.

A Conceptual Framework to Reduce Inpatient Preventable Deaths

BackgroundEfforts to reduce preventable deaths in the in-hospital setting should target both cardiopulmonary arrest (CPA) prevention and optimal resuscitation. This requires consideration of a broad range of clinical issues and processes. A comprehensive, integrated system of care (SOC) that links data collection with a modular education program to reduce preventable deaths has not been defined. MethodsThis study was conducted in two urban university hospitals from 2005 to 2009. The Advanced Resuscitation Training (ART) program was implemented in 2007, incorporating hands-on resuscitative skills and in-hospital–specific training with an institutional resuscitation database. Linkage between the database and training modules occurs via the ART Matrix, which classifies all CPA events into the following etiologies: sepsis, hemorrhage, pulmonary embolus, heart failure, tachyarrhythmias, bradyarrhythmias, acute respiratory distress syndrome, non-intubated pulmonary disease, obstructive apnea, traumatic brain injury, ischemic brain injury, and intracranial mass lesions. This taxonomy was validated using descriptive statistics, before-and-after analysis evaluating CPA incidence, and multivariate logistic regression to predict CPA survival. ResultsA total of 336 inpatients suffered a cardiopulmonary arrest during the study period—187 in the pre-ART period and 149 in the post-ART period. The vast majority of CPA events were categorized using the ART Matrix with high inter-observer reliability. As anticipated, changes in CPA incidence and survival were observed for some Matrix categories but not others following ART implementation. In addition, multivariate logistic regression revealed strong independent associations between taxonomy classifications and outcome. ConclusionA novel SOC using a unique taxonomy for arrest classification appears to be effective at reducing inpatient CPA incidence and outcome.

The effect of a modular education program for children with epilepsy and their parents on disease management

ObjectiveThe objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of Modular Education Program for Children with Epilepsy and Their Parents on disease management. The program was prepared by researchers in an interdisciplinary team. MethodChildren with epilepsy and their parents were included in a randomized controlled study using a pre–posttest design. All participants of the modular education program (n=184 (92 children and their 92 parents’)) answered a lot of scales immediately before the program. The researcher presented the modular education program, which included eight modules (four for the children and four for the parents), to the children and parents in the intervention group using interactive teaching methods. And all participants of the modular education program answered all scales immediately after the program and one-month, three-month follow-ups. The control group not participating in the modular education program (n=100 (50 children, 50 parents)) also answered all scales in all follow-ups. Scales used the study comprised epilepsy-specific outcome measures (e.g., knowledge, self-efficacy related to seizures, quality of life and anxiety). The statistical analyses of the study data were performed using SAS 9.3 software. ResultsChildren in intervention group significantly improved in knowledge (p<0.001), self-efficacy about seizures (p<0.001), and quality of life (p<0.001) compared with the control group. The parents in the intervention group also significantly improved in knowledge about epilepsy (p<0.001) compared with the control group. However, anxiety of the parents in the intervention group significantly increased (p<0.001). ConclusionThe efficacy of the Modular Education Program for Children with Epilepsy and Their Parents on disease management was confirmed. The results indicate that using interactive teaching methods help children with epilepsy and their parents in improving knowledge, self-efficacy about seizures and quality of life. All health professionals who work with children with epilepsy and their parents should provide these modular education programs regularly.

The Promotion of Adherence to Psychodynamic Psychotherapy by Means of Psychoeducational Intervention

This study investigates the promotion of adherence of patients to a psychodynamic treatment program by means of a psycho educational program in the context of randomized field study. A sample of a whole year of admittances of patients convicted for forensic treatment due to § 64 of the german penal code were randomized assigned in two groups. An early intervention group received after a 6-week introduction period a specially designed modular psycho educational treatment program parallel to an psychodynamic treatment program. The late intervention group underwent the same psychodynamic treatment program but received psychoeducation 3 month later. The study investigated the drop-out rate and the differences of the two groups in relevant areas. After 7 month significantly more patients of the early intervention group are still in psychodynamic treatment CONCLUSIONS: The study shows positive effects concerning the adherence of forensic inpatients for a psychodynamic orientated therapy.

RESEARCH AND EDUCATIONAL PANORAMA OF MODERNIZATION OF TRAINING TEACHERS OF CONTINUOUS VOCATIONAL EDUCATION

Introduction. Nowadays, there is no evidence-based strategy of upgrade of system of preparation of pedagogical personnel for continuous professional education in the Russian Federation. At the same time, scientists recognize that smoothly running regular high-quality replenishment of education by the skilled heads and teachers having fundamental psychology and pedagogical knowledge and being specialists in one of economic industries has crucial importance for successful development of post-industrial society. Hence, the need for creation of multichannel system of professional and pedagogical preparation has emerged. The aim of the present publication is to provide the complex overview of problems of reforming of professional pedagogical education and to show possible ways of their decision. Methods. The methodological basis of the study involves the concept of professional development of an individual; the thesis on the integration of the system-based, process and project approaches; the principles for the development of professional pedagogical education. Panoramic approach to the discussed problems of modernization of professional and pedagogical school has defined the logic of our research. Results. Psychological and pedagogical problems of professional education are analysed. Multidimensional metaprofessional qualities of teachers of vocational school are considered. The conceptual model of vocational structure of preparation of pedagogical personnel is developed for the system of continuous professional education. The debatable aspect of the research is reflected in the project of a psychological and pedagogical platform – the autonomous modular educational program including massive open online courses, management systems of educational process, supports of innovative infrastructure of education, humanitarian technologies of high education. Practical significance. The vocational structure of training of teachers of vocational school offered by authors can become a basis for essential expansion and change of organizational forms of education of valuable personnel and ensuring their social professional mobility. Project implementation of an educational psychological-pedagogical platform including the main heuristic advantage as universality and a humanitarian orientation and technological effectiveness, will promote improvement of quality of vocational education.

The interactive animated epilepsy education programme (IAEEP): How feasible, acceptable and practical is the technology to children?

Being well-informed and knowledgeable about their illnesses would be a great advantage to children with epilepsy (CWE). Subsequently, an effective education programme which could secure interest and simultaneously improve their awareness, knowledge and attitudes (AKA) is essential in enhancing well-being and health outcomes. To describe the development of a new interactive animated epilepsy education programme (IAEEP) for children and to assess its feasibility, acceptability and practicality. The IAEEP was developed by an interdisciplinary group of neurologist, paediatrician, pharmacist, biomedical scientist and educators which was based on two established epilepsy education programmes: the educational programme for patients with epilepsy and their relatives (MOSES) and the modular educational program for children with epilepsy and their parents (FAMOSES). CWE from paediatric department of three general hospitals in Terengganu were initially introduced to the IAEEP and were requested to complete an evaluation form assessing its feasibility, acceptability and practicality. Descriptive statistics were employed for data analyses (SPSS 20.0). Sixteen CWE (median age=13.0; male=56.2%; Malay=81.2%; secondary school=56.2%) and their corresponding parents were recruited. Each CWE owned at least a computer/notebook/tablet (100%). The cost of distribution of IAEEP (in compact disc form) among CWE was estimated at about MYR 17.99/USD 5.90 per CWE. The average time required to interact with the programme was 22.8 minutes (SD=3.3, range 18-28 minutes). The programme was 100% acceptable and received full support from both CWE and their parents (100%). The favourable findings from this study add to the growing evidence suggesting that investment in interactive and animated education programme would be both feasible, well-received by patients and could be a potentially valuable approach to increase access and effectiveness of epilepsy care especially among CWE.
