Psychological safety, Job satisfaction, and the Intention to Leave among German early-career physicians.

Healthcare systems worldwide experience shortages of healthcare professionals. Retention of physicians is becoming an increasing problem. The psychological safety among physicians affects not only performance, but also their emotional well-being and job satisfaction. This study aims to evaluate early career physicians' perception of psychological safety and its influence on job satisfaction and intention to leave. In a cross-sectional study, early career physicians, currently in fellowship programs in Germany were invited to fill in an electronic survey. The instrument consisted of demographic variables and sections from validated and well-established questionnaires. Psychological safety was evaluated on three levels - in relation to the team leader, team as a whole, and peers. Also job satisfaction was assessed with standardized measures, and participants were asked if they were considering leaving their current employer. Participants were recruited via a nationwide learning platform - an online educational portal for medical students and early career physicians. Data analyses included descriptive, correlation analysis and regression analyses to determine univariate and multivariate associations with job satisfaction and intention to leave. The study sample consisted of 432 early career physicians. Most were fulltime employed (85.6%), female (78.2%), and in first three years of their postgraduate education (77.5%). 47.2% indicated intention to leave their current employment. On a Likert-10 agreement scale, with high scores indicating grater psychological safety, the mean scores for leader related, team related and peer related psychological safety were 6.01 (95%CI=5.81 to 6.21), 7.30 (7.11 to 7.49) and 7.95 (7.78 to 8.12), respectively. In correlation analysis, all dimensions of psychological safety showed significant associations with Job Satisfaction and the Intention to Leave. In the multiple regression analyses, female gender (B=-0.10; p=0.04) and age group (B=-0.08; p<0.01) were associated with lower job satisfaction. High leader and team related psychological safety were significantly associated with higher job satisfaction (B=0.18, p<0.01; B=0.10, p<0.01), and negatively related to intention to leave (OR=0.53, p<0.01; OR=0.77, p<0.01). This survey enhances our understanding of the nuances of psychological safety among early career physicians. In Germany, they reported low to medium levels of psychological safety related to the leader and low job satisfaction. Almost every second participant indicated intention to leave the organisation. Leader related psychological safety had highest effect on job satisfaction and intention to leave. Our findings corroborate the eminent role of leadership, workplace and safety culture for job satisfaction and retention of early career physicians, what consequently affects quality and safety of healthcare.

Student attitudes and preferences towards communications from their university – a meta-analysis of student communications research within UK higher education institutions

ABSTRACT Whilst the practitioner field around current student communications has developed in recent years, most published research still focuses either on prospective students, theoretical benefits of student communications or usage of individual channels of communication. This paper contributes to policy and practice by providing the first UK-wide look at current students’ communications preferences and behaviours through a meta-analysis of 17 student communications surveys (total students surveyed 20,134). Results show that students expect their universities to utilise a range of channels (including email, social media and student portals) – i.e. an integrated marketing theory approach. Most students feel that they receive the right level of information; however, overall satisfaction with communications has decreased in recent years. This paper provides recommendations for practice, as well as a template to improve consistency in future institutional student communications evaluations.

Measuring Sexual and Gender-Based Violence at the University of Cape Coast: Developing and Deploying a Campus Climate Survey.

Sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) is a global public health crisis, impacting university youth around the world. The purpose of this study was twofold: (a) determine the best methodology for conducting a campus climate survey at the University of Cape Coast (UCC) in Ghana and (b) gather data on SGBV knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors from a representative sample of students. This descriptive study included three phases: (a) develop a campus climate survey unique to UCC, (b) develop a sampling methodology, and (c) deploy the first ever campus climate survey at UCC. A 71-item survey was developed and then administered via a student portal to 2,000 students. Of those students, 1,381 (69.1%) responded. Although most students (63.2%) know the university has a sexual harassment policy, fewer have seen it (25.9%) or read it (22.3%). Students held generally positive views of how the university would respond to reports of sexual harassment, although 50.2% of participants believed the reporter would be labeled a troublemaker. More participants reported seeking and giving verbal than nonverbal consent, and more men than women reported both seeking and giving verbal consent. More men than women reported they "always" sought verbal consent (61.2% vs. 47.7%, p = 0.001). Most students ( n = 316, 56.5%) sought verbal consent all of the time, and an additional 99 (17.7%) sought it most of the time. Accurate data about students' knowledge, attitudes, and experiences with SGBV policy, prevention, and response are needed globally to better inform locally appropriate practices. Forensic nursing is currently localized in high-income countries. University students' knowledge, attitudes, and experiences with SGBV can support the expansion of forensic nursing research and practice to low- and middle-income countries.

Modelling distance education students’ satisfaction and continuous use intention of students’ portal: An importance-performance map analysis

Many higher educational institutions offering distance education provide their students with electronic portals to manage their academic information and activities, as well as obtain feedback from students to management for decision-making towards improvement. However, satisfaction with the use of students’ portals remains a challenge to distance education students especially in mandatory environments where students are obliged to use the portal. However, there is also a lack of empirical evidence on the effects of portal functionality and portal information display on the easiness of use of students’ portal and portal system performance leading to satisfaction, in the literature. Accordingly, this study aims to unravel the determinants of students’ satisfaction and their continuous use intentions of portal systems. In view of this, a quantitative approach based on an exploratory sequential mixed-method design was adopted. Questionnaires were used to collect the main data from 1409 students selected through a cluster sampling technique after an initial interview guide was used for focus group discussions. Data collected were analysed using both the descriptive and Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) techniques. Findings from the analysis revealed that portal functionality and portal information display were antecedents of portal ease of use: and portal system performance. Additionally, portal system ease of use, portal system functionality, portal system information display and portal system performance determined portal system use satisfaction. Furthermore, portal use satisfaction is a prelude to students’ continuous use intentions. Finally, the most important antecedent to student portal use satisfaction was portal system performance. These findings provide valuable insights for institutions seeking to enhance the performance of portal systems for their students. Based on the findings, recommendations were made for policy and practice towards the provision and management of student portals in distance education delivery.

Inter-Linked Platform for Campus Placement in Higher educational Institutions of India

Abstract: Campus placement, also known as campus recruitment, is a crucial process for connecting students with potential employers and facilitating their entry into the job market. However, the traditional campus placement process can be timeconsuming, cumbersome, and inefficient, both for students and employers. In today's competitive job market, it is imperative to enhance the efficiency of the campus placement process and improve student employability. To address these challenges, we propose an interlinked platform for campus placement that leverages modern technology to streamline the recruitment process and enhance student employability. The proposed platform brings together various stakeholders, including students, employers, placement officers, and alumni, on a unified digital platform to create a seamless and efficient recruitment ecosystem. The interlinked platform incorporates a range of features to optimize the campus placement process. These features include an online portal for students to create and manage their profiles, upload their resumes, and apply for job opportunities. The platform also provides tools for employers to post job openings, search and shortlist candidates, and schedule interviews. Additionally, the platform facilitates communication between students and employers, allowing for real-time feedback and updates. One of the unique aspects of the interlinked platform is the integration of alumni networks. Alumni can serve as mentors, providing guidance and insights to students on the platform. They can also participate in recruitment activities, such as conducting mock interviews, providing industry-specific advice, and networking with potential employers. This integration of alumni networks adds value to the campus placement process by leveraging their expertise and connections to enhance student employability.

Wearable point-of-view live streaming technology in a virtual airway management workshop for medical students

Background: Trauma resuscitation skills are an essential part of medical training. Airway management skills are often learned via simulation-based training, but physical distancing restrictions have forced medical schools to transition their preclinical curricula to a virtual format. A wearable, point-of-view (POV), live streaming tool was piloted in a virtual airway management workshop to preclinical medical students to address limitations in the standard online curriculum. Methods: An anesthesiologist instructor donned a chest-mounted smartphone that captured POV video as it was connected to a Zoom video conference call. Simultaneously, a second camera view from a different angle was streamed from a laptop webcam. Preclinical medical student attendees watched the facilitator demonstrate airway management and resuscitation skills on a simulation mannequin. Student perceptions of the workshop were assessed via standardised course evaluations administered through the online student portal and a questionnaire distributed by the course representative. Results: Qualitative and quantitative course evaluation data showed that although this platform may not completely substitute in-person learning, students appreciated the alternative teaching style, particularly the use of POV video and multiple camera views. Generally, students believed that the learning objectives were achieved. Camera stability, camera positioning, and the distracting nature of the virtual student-instructor interactions were identified as areas for improvement. Conclusions: Moving forward, this innovative workshop format can act as a valuable framework for other institutions that wish to bridge gaps in current virtual education methods and enhance technical skills training in medical learners.

Development and validation of digital medical laboratory educational platform

With the increased use of whole slide scanner technology, large numbers of tissue slides are being scanned and archived digitally. While digital pathology has substantial implications in telepathology, second opinions and education, there are huge research opportunities in this new type of digital data. Accessibility to large digital repositories of tissue slides is a huge educational resource for medical students and pathology residents. In addition to education of medical students, residents and clinical adoption, digital pathology has been transformative for computational imaging research. Many universities also do not have active pathology laboratories which are necessary in providing a steady flow of real life cases for medical training and research. Therefore, this project aimed at designing and validating a digital medical laboratory educational platform where learners could access the virtual slides from their individual student portals irrespective of their location when they logged in. With the use of a digital slide scanner, physical slides from the manual laboratory repository were scanned and stored in the cloud in a digital format. The two platforms of both institutions were integrated such that the students’ online learning portal was in sync with the Pathology Network’s digital repository. Once the integration was successful, the students were able to access and interact with the learning materials and virtual slides for Cytology and Cytological Stains which was the scheduled topic for teaching and learning. The study recruited thirty five students from Meru University of Science and Technology pursuing undergraduate studies in Medical Microbiology. Majority of the students (33 out of 35; 94.3%) indicated that digital pathology enhanced their understanding of the topic of study due to availability of virtual slides with ease and at any time of day. All students (35 out of 35; 100%) felt that digital pathology teaching was beneficial for Medical Microbiology students and expressed hope in continued learning using digital pathology to supplement face-to-face lectures. The study proved concept that digital pathology education is viable in medical training, particularly, for pathology and medical laboratory. There is need for additional work to include more areas in the field of laboratory medicine and development of virtual learning content. Such local digital slide repository can promote use of digital pathology in Kenya and the region for teaching and learning. Digital pathology together with virtual microscopy can progressively improve medical education and training of pathology and laboratory medicine.

Machine Learning based Tutor Ward System (MLTWS) for Cognitive Learning style Management

Abstract: Many educations sector find it difficult to examine a student's performance on each assessment activities and provide feedback based on cognitive, reflective and psychomotor abilities. It is a difficult task for student tutors to individually assess each student's performance in each category (Remember, Understand, Apply, and Analyze) and provide feedback. As a result, a machine learning model is required to help tutors to evaluate the student performance and provide feedback to students and their parents. It serves as an extension of the student portal, allowing access to all information about students, including their assessment scores. A proposed model is to forecast individual student's and the entire class's strengths and weaknesses in single portal. This enables both teachers and students to adjust their teaching and learning methods as needed. This approach paved a way for tutors spent much more time with their slower learners, treated them with more compassion. Keywords: Machine learning, Cognitive skills, Tutoring, Student portal

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Background&lt;/strong&gt;: Vaccination is one of the most effective measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19. However, the knowledge, attitudes and perceptions of the intended population towards vaccination is important for successful implementation of the exercise. The objective of the study was to assess the knowledge, attitudes and perceptions of Great Zimbabwe University students towards COVID-19 vaccination.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; An online survey was conducted from 01 November to 17 December 2021 by requesting students to complete a questionnaire which was set up using Google forms. The generated link was shared on student portals.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; The most common source of information on COVID-19 vaccination was social media. The majority of the respondents demonstrated their knowledge of how COVID-19 is transmitted and indicated that they would take the COVID-19 vaccine if it is available. Most respondents indicated that they would encourage family/ friends/relatives to get vaccinated. About 87% were worried about being infected with COVID-19 and 26.4% were hesitant to get COVID-19 vaccine. Over 68 % perceived that vaccination would stop the spread of COVID-19. About 81% feared that there was a high risk of getting infected with COVID-19 at the university.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusions:&lt;/strong&gt; The majority of university students intended to get the COVID-19 vaccine; The sources of information cited by the students should be prioritized in disseminating COVID 19 vaccination information. These findings can help the Ministry of Health plan for future efforts to increase vaccine uptake that may eventually lead to herd immunity against COVID-19.&lt;/p&gt;

CAN MULTIPLE WHATSAPP GROUPS REDUCE MESSAGE FLOODING DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC PERIOD?

WhatsApp has been favoured by many educators and students as an online learning tool during the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite its’ popularity in educational settings, the flooding of messages on group chats remains a challenge for teachers as well as students. Currently there is a gap in research when it comes to investigating the types of conversations that students have on such groups which is intended for teaching and learning purposes, as well as a possible solution with regard to the flooding of messages. The purpose of this study is to investigate the chats that make up redundant posts that are often experienced on WhatsApp groups as well as to see whether multiple WhatsApp groups for a subject may reduce the flooding of messages. For the purpose of this study, the conversations on WhatsApp of a complete online first-year statistics course at a South African university will be analysed by making use of a WhatsApp chat analyser app, ChatChart. The findings of this study revealed that students flooded groups mostly with university-related matters, for example test dates, learning material, WhatsApp links to other subjects at the university, lecturer information, as well as important information that was posted on the student portal and test marks. The creation of two additional WhatsApp groups reduced message flooding within the content group where subject content was posted, while the other two groups served as a “place” where students were allowed to interact with their statistics lecturer as well as each other to discuss university-related matters.

Design Principles for VanVR APP: a Virtual Anatomy Lab

The VanVR APP (Vancouver Virtual Reality Anatomy and Pathology Project) is a virtual anatomy lab with 3D anatomy dissection scans, which in the post‐pandemic learning environment is a “digital twin” to the physical lab. The principles of this re‐design are based on instructors' need to offer an alternate supplemental teaching environment, and students’ need to access high‐quality anatomy scans preparing for the dissection lab experience.VanVR was created using Unity and WebGL offering two separate user interfaces (UI): one for students and one for instructors. The student UI leads to a virtual anatomy lab (VAL) of interactive 3D models. The instructor UI; the Lab Maker (LM), allows instructors to customize their courses from a wide database of fully‐labeled specimens, images, and videos. VanVR’s user experience (UX) of the VAL was designed to mimic a lab’s environment including anatomy code of conduct and many control functions. UI and UX designs intend to meet student needs with a focus on intuitive interfaces and interactions to maximize attention on the anatomy content rather than navigating technological difficulties.VanVR was designed as an accessible web app using a traditional and universal design layout that allows for seamless future mobile/tablet expansion. In the student portal and the LM, organized by importance, the main bulk of the course material was centrally placed in common sections to allow for an effective tree hierarchy and smooth accessibility. The student UI visual hierarchy was highlighted via a checklist to track weekly learning progress supplemented by course material, lab manuals, specimens, videos, and images. The login information, content menu, and sub‐menus were then distributed around the main grid. This layout helped to convey easy navigation, accessibility, and uniform connectivity. The anatomy content menu was sorted by body regions (atlas or textbook hierarchy). The aim of VanVR's layout was to mimic familiar apps for a smooth user experience. Moreover, to attain user seamless transition, VanVR’s layout matched UBC’s learning management system; Canvas features such as student checklists, content upload, and editing course material in the LM.Equal principles were used in the UX, the VAL design resembles an actual anatomy lab, this mimicry principle induces learnability. The user control shows the main elements in a simple hierarchy, design, colors, and text font granting intuitive and seamless navigation. To deliver flexibility and redundancy, we added multiple logical routes to finish tasks and bypass system lags. For more student‐instructor interaction, instructors were given the feature to control the number of labels on the specimens or pose question labels to match the learning objectives. As a result, VanVR UI and UX design followed basic aesthetics aiming for an efficient and accessible learning/teaching tool.Our future plan includes adapting the UI and UX to smartphone/tablet screen size and features. For more accessibility and redundancy, a search feature will be added to allow users to rapidly find specimens.

Student Portal of College

Abstract: As we are familiar with pandemic situation and its effects on our life. The COVID-19 pandemic has affected people regardless of nationality, level of education, income or gender. It has affected education system. As most of education, in our country was conducted in offline mode. But due to pandemic, picture has changed. During pandemic all universities were closed. It was very difficult for student pursuing higher education to cope up with situation. Online learning or e-learning was the best outcome of this pandemic. Students are connected with teachers, mentors through online meetings. The importance of online learning came into existence. Many colleges adopted various online activities and practices. Most of existing online learning systems do not provide exchange of resources and study material between students and mentors . But the problem is that students expect online learning to be simple and could be performed at ease. So to deal with this students problem, instead of creating an application which requires download we made a website which can be easily accessed. The website of student portal we implemented makes it easy for students from college to access resources, study materials of each and every subject. Students can solve quiz which are questioned by their mentors. The most important thing is that students can share feedback on performance of mentors. The website is controlled by admin which looks after the various activities of students and mentors. Keywords: Student, Mentor, Admin, Login, Signup, Student Panel, Mentor Panel, Admin Panel
