Continuous glucose monitoring among nurse practitioners in primary care: Characteristics associated with prescribing and resources needed to support use.

Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) can improve health for people with diabetes but is limited in primary care (PC). Nurse Practitioners (NPs) in PC can improve diabetes management through CGM, but NPs' interest in CGM and support needed are unclear. We describe behaviors and attitudes related to CGM for diabetes management among NPs in PC. This cross-sectional web-based survey of NPs practicing in PC settings used descriptive statistics to describe CGM experience and identify resources to support prescribing. We used multivariable regression to explore characteristics predicting prescribing and confidence using CGM for diabetes. Nurse practitioners in hospital-owned settings were twice as likely to have prescribed CGM (odds ratio [OR] = 2.320, 95% CI [1.097, 4.903]; p = .002) than private practice; those in academic medical centers were less likely (OR = 0.098, 95% CI [0.012, 0.799]; p = .002). Past prescribing was associated with favorability toward future prescribing (coef. = 0.7284, SE = 0.1255, p < .001) and confidence using CGM to manage diabetes (type 1: coef. = 3.57, SE = 0.51, p < .001; type 2: coef. = 3.49, SE = 0.51, p < .001). Resources to prescribe CGM included consultation with an endocrinologist (62%), educational website (61%), and endocrinological e-consultations (59%). Nurse practitioners are open to prescribing CGM and can improve diabetes management and health outcomes for PC patients. Research should explore mechanisms behind associations with CGM experience and attitudes. Efforts to advance CGM should include educational websites and endocrinology consultations for NPs in PC.

Analysis of internet educational websites on tobacco cessation: A content analysis

Background There have been significant changes in the lifestyles of individuals in the past few decades, which has led to increased morbidity and mortality worldwide. Both smoking and chewing forms of tobacco are highly prevalent, especially in India, and are implicated as causes of diseases, including oropharyngeal carcinomas. Effective tobacco cessation techniques and sources can help overcome addiction and reduce the disease burden in society. The aim was to evaluate the quality and readability of contents of various sources on an internet website about tobacco cessation. Objectives i) To evaluate the readability of internet content (Google) regarding tobacco cessation using Flesch–Kincaid readability tests and the quality of internet content (Google) by using the JAMA benchmark, HONcode and DISCERN questionnaire. Methods A content review was employed to screen the content of the Google search engine for educational tobacco cessation websites, and the top 50 websites were selected according to criteria and reviewed by two reviewers. The readability of the internet content (Google) regarding tobacco cessation was evaluated using Flesch–Kincaid readability tests. The quality of the screened sites was evaluated by using the JAMA benchmark, HONcode and DISCERN questionnaire, and the readability and quality of the screened websites were correlated using the above instruments. Results FK readability ease was found to be 49% standard and 30% easy. The FK grade test found that 33% of the content could be easily understood by &lt; 5th grade. All 4 JAMA benchmarks were met by 23% of websites, and authorship was the least fulfilled criterion. Correlation analysis revealed a significant association between FK ease score and FK grade score. Conclusions The Read-ability Ease and Read-ability Grade Levels of the websites related to tobacco cessation were not standard, and few websites fulfilled the JAMA benchmarks and had HONcode certification.

Primary care clinician engagement in implementing a machine-learning algorithm for targeted screening of familial hypercholesterolemia

ObjectiveTo assess the impact of a multi-pronged educational approach on the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors regarding Familial Hypercholesterolemia (FH) management at a large academic medical center with the aim of empowering primary care clinicians (PCC) to diagnose and treat FH. MethodsA comprehensive educational program for PCCs on FH management was developed and piloted from July 2022 to March 2024. Components of our intervention included: 1. Implementation of a novel clinical decision support tool in the electronic medical record for FH management, 2. Development and dissemination of an interactive educational website focused on FH and its management, 3. Delivery of virtual instructional sessions to increase awareness of the tool, provide education on its use, and obtain support from institutional leadership, and 4. Direct outreach to a pilot subset of PCCs whose patients had been detected using the validated FIND FH® machine learning algorithm. Participating clinicians were surveyed at baseline before the intervention and after the educational session. Results70 PCC consented to participate in the study with a survey completion rate of 79 % (n = 55) and 42 % (n = 23) for the baseline and follow-up surveys, respectively. Objective PCC knowledge scores improved from 40 to 65 % of responders correctly responding to at least 2/3rds of survey questions. Despite the fact that 87 % identified PCC's as most effective for early detection of FH, 100 % of PCCs who received direct outreach chose to defer care to an outpatient cardiologist over pursuing workup in the primary care setting. ConclusionEmpowering PCCs in management of FH serves as a key strategy in addressing this underdiagnosed and undertreated potentially life-threatening condition. A systems-based approach to addressing these aims may include leveraging EMR-based clinical decision support models and cross-disciplinary educational partnerships with medical specialists.

Design E-Learning User Interface On Website-Based Edspert.Id With Kansei Engineering Methods

The development of information technology has encouraged people to rely on information systems, especially through websites. Websites provide easy access to information and learning with various educational materials. Although e-learning has been implemented in many educational websites, Edspert. id, a company in the education sector, has not implemented it yet. User interface design development is one of the important processes in e-learning website development. A user interface that is easy to use will improve the learning experience of learners. This research proposes a solution to design the user interface of Edspert.id e-learning website by using the Kansei Engineering method. This approach has been done beforefor web-based e-learning based on users' emotions. Principal component analysis (PCA) is used to reduce Kansei Word variables that are relevant to users' emotions. The e-learning website element design was then designed based on the PCA results. The next step is to determine the design elements in the e-learning design. Then, partial Least Square (PLS) was used to analyze the relationship between Kansei Word and element design. The results show that there multiuser interface design has two concepts whose element designs are in accordance with user needs.

Location, location, location: How does residency program leadership vary according to geographic region?

Background: Faculty relationships are key to resident education. Residency applicants may find it more appealing to choose programs where the faculty have a similar background. With the addition of geographic preferences to the application process, applicants may find it beneficial to know general faculty makeup in each region. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship of geographic location and orthopaedic residency leadership characteristics. Methods: The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) and Doximity websites were queried in September 2022 to identify United States orthopaedic residency programs for the 2022-2023 cycle. Program attributes were categorized by region. Program leaders evaluated in this study consisted of Chairs, Vice Chairs, Program Directors (PDs), and Assistant PDs. Results: A total of 192 programs with 425 leaders were included. Leaders were mostly PDs (42.6%, n=181), men (88.7%, n=377), MDs (90.6%, n=385), and trained in the US (96.9%, n=412). The Northeast had the most programs (n=59, 30.7%) and leadership positions (n=136, 32.0%). The West had higher proportions of internationally-trained and women leaders (8.2%, P=0.046 and 18.0%, P=0.072), although the latter only trended towards significance. The South contained the lowest prevalence of internationally-trained leaders (0.8%, P=0.046). The Midwest exhibited the largest amount of DO leadership (16.0%, P=0.022). The Northeast had more surgeons subspecialized in hand/upper extremity (19.9% vs. 10.0%, P=0.033) yet relatively fewer in oncology (2.9% vs. 10.7%, P=0.041). Conclusions: Program attributes varied by region. This information is valuable to applicants and leaders as the field strives to strengthen and diversify its leadership.

Accuracy, readability, and quality of websites about metastatic renal cell carcinoma treatment

ObjectivesPatients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) face complex treatment decisions and frequently turn to the Internet for treatment information. The content of patient educational websites about mRCC treatment has not been evaluated. This study evaluated the accuracy, readability, and quality of websites about the treatment of mRCC. MethodsA total of 2,700 Internet queries were performed. Across 3 Internet search engines, 25 links of 36 permutations of mRCC keywords and their synonyms were screened for eligibility. Eligible websites were English-language websites containing information about mRCC treatments. Sponsored, social media, provider-facing, and news websites were excluded. Accuracy of eligible websites was evaluated in 2 domains: (1) Completeness by calculating the percentage of mRCC facts included in websites using an investigator-created checklist based on the NCI's RCC Treatment (PDQ®)–patient version, and (2) Correctness by identifying incorrect statements that were inconsistent with guidelines. Websites containing ≥60% of checklist items had a “passing” completeness score. Incorrect statements were tallied and qualitatively categorized. Readability was evaluated using the Fry and SMOG formulae, which calculate reading grade levels. Quality was evaluated using validated instruments that appraise health information quality: QUEST (scored 0–28), which focuses on online information, and DISCERN (scored 16–80), which focuses on treatment choices. ResultsThirty-nine websites were analyzed. Mean completeness score was 30% (range 0%–69%); only 2 (5%) websites had a passing score. Twelve (31%) websites had ≥1 incorrect statement, such as listing homeopathy or hormone therapy as mRCC treatment options, or including outdated statements. Mean readability levels were 11th and 12th grades for the Fry and SMOG methods, respectively. No website had a reading level lower than 9th grade. Mean QUEST score was 19 (range 9–28); authorship, complementarity, and currency items had the lowest scores. Mean DISCERN score was 56 (range 42–76), with 7 (18%) websites rated “excellent”, 22 (56%) rated “good”, and 10 (26%) rated fair. ConclusionsMany websites about mRCC treatment have incomplete, inaccurate, and unreadable information. Quality is highly variable. Efforts to improve accuracy, readability, and quality are needed to ensure that patients with mRCC can make well-informed treatment decisions and avoid harm from misinformation.

Impact of an internet-based insomnia intervention on suicidal ideation and associated correlates in veterans at elevated suicide risk.

Improving public health approaches to suicide prevention requires scalable evidence-based interventions that can be easily disseminated. Given empirical data supporting the association between insomnia and suicide risk, internet-delivered insomnia interventions are promising candidates to meet this need. The purpose of this study was to examine whether an unguided internet-delivered cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia (iCBT-I) improved insomnia severity, suicidal ideation (SI), and suicide risk correlates (depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, hostility, belongingness, hopelessness, agitation, irritability, concentration) in a sample of veterans. Secondary data analysis of Operation Enduring Freedom, Operation Iraqi Freedom, and Operation New Dawn veterans (n = 50) with clinically significant insomnia and elevated SI drawn from a larger randomized controlled trial (RCT) of an iCBT-I, Sleep Healthy Using the Internet (SHUTi). Two-sample t-tests or Wilcoxon rank sum tests were used to evaluate between-group differences (SHUTi vs. Insomnia Education Website control) in symptom improvement from baseline to post-intervention. SHUTi participants experienced a significant improvement in insomnia severity (P < .001; d = -1.08) and a non-significant with small (subthreshold medium) effect size reduction of SI (P = .17, d = 0.40), compared to control participants. Significant improvement in hopelessness was observed (medium effect size), with non-significant small to medium effect size reductions in most remaining suicide risk correlates. Self-administered iCBT-I was associated with improvements in insomnia severity in veterans at elevated risk for suicide. These preliminary findings suggest that SI and suicide risk correlates may improve following an iCBT-I intervention, demonstrating the need for future well-powered iCBT-I RCTs targeted for populations at elevated suicide risk.

Four breast surgical oncologists assessed the responses for accuracy and reliability using a five-point Likert scale and the Patient Education Materials Assessment (PEMAT) Tool. The average reliability score for ChatGPT in answering breast cancer surgery questions was 3.98 out of 5.00. Surgeons unanimously found the responses understandable and actionable per the PEMAT criteria. The consensus found ChatGPT's overall performance was appropriate, with minor or no inaccuracies. ChatGPT demonstrates good reliability in responding to breast cancer surgery queries, with minor, nonharmful inaccuracies. Its answers are accurate, clear, and easy to comprehend. Notably, ChatGPT acknowledged its informational role and did not attempt to replace medical advice or discourage users from seeking input from a healthcare professional.

ChatGPT Provides Satisfactory but Occasionally Inaccurate Answers to Common Patient Hip Arthroscopy Questions

PurposeTo assess the ability of ChatGPT to answer common patient questions regarding hip arthroscopy, and to analyze the accuracy and appropriateness of its responses. MethodsTen questions were selected from well-known patient education websites, and ChatGPT (version 3.5) responses to these questions were graded by two fellowship-trained hip preservation surgeons. Responses were analyzed, compared to the current literature, and graded from A to D (A being the highest, and D being the lowest) in a grading scale based on the accuracy and completeness of the response. If the grading differed between the two surgeons, a consensus was reached. Inter-rater agreement was calculated. The readability of responses was also assessed using the Flesch-Kincaid Reading Ease Score (FRES) and Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level (FKGL). ResultsResponses received the following consensus grades: A (50%, n=5), B (30%, n=3), C (10%, n=1), D (10%, n=1) (Table 2). Inter-rater agreement based on initial individual grading was 30%. The mean FRES was 28.2 (SD± 9.2), corresponding to a college graduate level, ranging from 11.7 to 42.5. The mean FKGL was 14.4 (SD±1.8), ranging from 12.1 to 18, indicating a college student reading level. ConclusionChatGPT can answer common patient questions regarding hip arthroscopy with satisfactory accuracy graded by two high-volume hip arthroscopists, however, incorrect information was identified in more than one instance. Caution must be observed when using ChatGPT for patient education related to hip arthroscopy. Clinical RelevanceGiven the increasing number of hip arthroscopies being performed annually, ChatGPT has the potential to aid physicians in educating their patients about this procedure and address any questions they may have.

For patients with plasma cell disorders (PCDs), there is a strong interest in supplement use. Our 23-question survey aims to understand the perceptions, habits, and knowledge surrounding specific supplements — Vitamin D, omega-3 fatty acids, turmeric/curcumin, and probiotics. Methods: From September 2023 to January 2024, 480 survey responses were collected via HealthTree Cure Hub. Deidentified demographic and survey data were retrieved, and summary statistics were used to evaluate responses. Results: Survey participants were predominantly female (58%), white (78%), aged ≥65 (61%), with a college degree or above (67%), and from the US (90%). While most patients (71%) used supplements pre-diagnosis, there was a 46% increase in supplement use post-diagnosis, where95% used supplements. Most patients obtained supplement information online — including medical media (45%) and myeloma education websites (28%)— and from physicians, such as oncologists (46%) or primary care providers (34%). Patient’s goals for supplement use included immune support (70%), prevention of nutritional deficiencies (54%), or halting cancer progression (38%). Of patients, 63% discussed their supplement use with their physician, with 74% preferring their oncologist’s recommendations. Overall, 91% of patients expressed interest in research on the risks and benefits of supplement use. Conclusions: This survey underscores the unmet need for research on supplements. Despite limited evidence, most survey participants reported an increase in supplement use after being diagnosed with a PCD, primarily interested in their oncologist's recommendations.

A quality and readability comparison of artificial intelligence and popular health website education materials for common hand surgery procedures

IntroductionChatGPT and its application in producing patient education materials for orthopedic hand disorders has not been extensively studied. This study evaluated the quality and readability of educational information pertaining to common hand surgeries from patient education websites and information produced by ChatGPT. MethodsPatient education information for four hand surgeries (carpal tunnel release, trigger finger release, Dupuytren’s contracture, and ganglion cyst surgery) was extracted from ChatGPT (at a scientific and fourth-grade reading level), WebMD, and Mayo Clinic. In a blinded and randomized fashion, five fellowship-trained orthopaedic hand surgeons evaluated the quality of information using a modified DISCERN criteria. Readability and reading grade level were assessed using Flesch Reading Ease (FRE) and Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level (FKGL) equations. ResultsThe Mayo Clinic website scored higher in terms of quality for carpal tunnel release information (p = 0.004). WebMD scored higher for Dupuytren’s contracture release (p < 0.001), ganglion cyst surgery (p = 0.003), and overall quality (p < 0.001). ChatGPT - 4th Grade Reading Level, ChatGPT - Scientific Reading Level, WebMD, and Mayo Clinic written materials on average exceeded recommended reading grade levels (4th–6th grade) by at least four grade levels (10th, 14th, 13th, and 11th grade, respectively). ConclusionsChatGPT provides inferior education materials compared to patient-friendly websites. When prompted to provide more easily read materials, ChatGPT generates less robust information compared to patient-friendly websites and does not adequately simplify the educational information. ChatGPT has potential to improve the quality and readability of patient education materials but currently, patient-friendly websites provide superior quality at similar reading comprehension levels.

Associations between youth suicide rates and state school personnel suicide prevention training requirements

ObjectiveAs youth spend the majority of their time in school, school personnel suicide prevention training has gained support as an approach to mitigate rising youth suicide rates. This study examined associations between state school personnel suicide prevention training requirements (i.e., mandatory/non-mandatory and annual/not annual), year of legislation enactment (2013 or earlier/2014 or later), and changes in youth suicide rates by state from 2007-09 to 2016–18. MethodsSchool personnel suicide prevention training requirement data were collected through state-specific Department of Education websites while state-specific youth suicide rates were collected from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s 2020 National Vital Statistics Report. Data were analyzed using a mixed effects linear regression model. ResultsTraining is mandated in 40/50 (80 %) states; 19/50 (38 %) require annual training. All states demonstrated increases in youth suicide rates from 2007-09 to 2016–18 (mean increase 3.9/100,000 [sd = 1.8]), but the change did not differ significantly by state requirements for mandatory (p = 0.44) or annual (p = 0.70) training, nor for year of enactment of legislation (p = 0.45). ConclusionsSchool personnel suicide prevention training requirements were not associated with changes in the youth suicide rate, though study results are limited in that data was not available on how successfully schools implemented the required trainings.

Our World of Dinosaurs

The goal of this project was to create an educational website for children, about paleontology and dinosaurs. During the summer of 2023, I collaborated with the Solon Public Library to utilize a collection of wooden dinosaurs made by an Iowan, Jack Neuzil, to make this website. My hope was that, by finding information based on research and facts, I could make a reliable source of education. I wanted this website to use children's fascination with dinosaurs to start to introduce them to scientific ideas. For example, science is very speculative and there is a lot we don’t know. I wanted to begin communicating these ideas. Another big part of this website was Jack Neuzil’s collection of wooden dinosaurs. He originally made these dinosaurs to bring to schools, so that kids could learn about dinosaurs. I included these on the website because we wanted to honor his legacy of using dinosaurs for further education. My hope is that my website (Our World of Dinosaurs) can continue his legacy in a way that can be accessible to people around the world.
