Optometrists’ perspectives on speciality programme development in South Africa

Background: South Africa (SA) has postgraduate research-based master’s and doctorate qualifications in optometry with no clinical coursework qualifications in special interest fields. As a result, it hinders professional growth and career path for optometrists and further limits patients’ access to various care pathways from would-be upskilled optometrists.Aim: To explore optometrists’ perspectives on postgraduate programme development in special interest fields of optometry for SA.Setting: Study population of practicing optometrists registered with the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA).Methods: A quantitative cross-sectional descriptive design was employed, utilising an online questionnaire developed with the Evasys survey system v8.2. Non-probability sampling was used to access eligible participants.Results: From 424 survey responses, 83.5% had undergraduate qualifications and 95.5% worked in patient-facing environments. Participants responded positively (88%) to this need for educational expansion. Educational needs in Ocular Disease (75.6%), Paediatric Optometry (66.4%), Binocular Vision (65.1%) and sub-specialties of myopia control (41.2%) and Specialised Contact Lens Fitting (31%) were reported. With combined ‘highly important’ and ‘likely important’ responses, participants indicated that obtaining professional recognition (94.9%) and to improve patient care (98.8%) were the main drivers for pursuing additional education and training.Conclusion: A notable demand was found for coursework postgraduate programmes by the study populations from which professional recognition can be awarded in various special interest fields of optometry. The benefit of improved patient care from upskilled optometrists was expressed.Contribution: The findings would contribute towards the development of a conceptual framework for postgraduate education and training for optometrists in SA.

The importance of leadership in school management: a study at the Maricá Advanced Campus of Instituto Federal Fluminense

This work comes from the dissertation presented to the Postgraduate Program in Technical and Vocational Education and Training at the IFFluminense. The objective was to analyze the perception of the management staff of the Maricá Advanced Campus of IFFluminense regarding the topic of leadership in Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET). The population studied was 09 (nine) employees and the research took place in the second half of 2023. The study methodology was developed through bibliographical descriptive research, of qualitative nature. A field research was also carried out, using a printed questionnaire as a data collection instrument, containing structured and semi-structured questions. In carrying out the analysis of the semi-structured responses of the questionnaire, the content analysis procedure was used. The results showed that the managers who participated in the study understand leadership as an attitude, a skill or a capacity. Based on the participants' responses, it was possible to identify some important factors: contributions from leadership to improve school management and contributions from the association between leadership and school management to improving teaching in TVET.

Are healing abutments being reused in periodontics residency programs in the United States? A survey-based study.

Recent studies indicate that reusing healing abutments (HAs) may pose a risk of biomaterial cross contamination among patients. The intent is to investigate whether postgraduate periodontics residency programs in the United States are reusing dental implant HAs and determine if there is a standardization in the decontamination and sterilization protocol of used HAs. An electronic survey consisting of-seven multiple choice and/or short answer questions pertaining to the re-use of HAs among postdoctoral periodontics programs was sent to program directors of 57 accredited dental schools in the United States via an online survey system (Qualtrics). Three follow-up remainder emails were sent to programs that did not respond after over a 6-month period. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Of the 57 postdoctoral periodontics program directors contacted, only 14 responded with three programs (3/14, 21%) reported reusing HAs. Approximately, 46% stated their residents place dental implants in two stages, while ∼54% stated they used a one-stage protocol indicating varied time exposure of HA to the oral cavity. Even in a two-stage protocol, the extended time HA remained in situ varied from 4 weeks to 6 months. Each program reusing HAs employed a distinct decontamination approach highlighting a notable lack of standardization in practices. The findings from our study suggest that a minority of residency programs in the United States are reusing HAs. However, the limited number of responses leaves uncertainty regarding whether our findings underestimate the prevalence of this practice and accurately reflect the reality. Among those re-using HAs, there seems to be a lack of standardization in their decontamination, potentially leading to cross-contamination of residual biomaterial among patients.

(Life) Lessons beyond the Lecture Hall: Alumni Reflections on Their Work-Readiness after Completing a South African Postgraduate Journalism Degree

ABSTRACT Higher education institutions are increasingly faced with the challenge of producing graduates ready to enter the world of work—a continuously evolving world that can be unceremoniously upended by global events such as Covid-19. Journalism educators share in this dilemma—especially given the upheaval faced by the media industry. Through an exploratory pilot study, this paper aims to provide insight into what knowledge and skills graduates themselves value once they have entered the world of work. Focus groups were conducted with 38 alumni from a South African postgraduate journalism programme to explore their understanding of the ways in which their studies prepared them to adapt to the workplace. The findings indicate alumni are grateful to have been exposed to a variety of practice-orientated applications in which they could later choose to specialise. More importantly, however, alumni were vocal about the fact that they were taught—sometimes implicitly—skills that transcend disciplinary boundaries and that have stood them in good stead in a variety of careers. These skills include being comfortable networking with peers and colleagues; the ability to meet deadlines; knowledge about how to build contacts; an understanding of the need for lifelong learning; the ability to tell a story with any information at hand; time management skills; and related generic life skills such as resilience. The findings of this pilot study seem to suggest journalism educators should be cognisant that they are training students for the workplace, not just for newswork or mediawork, and that soft skills should be prioritised.

The Future of Artificial Intelligence in Surgery.

Until recently, innovations in surgery were largely represented by extensions or augmentations of the surgeon's perception. This includes advancements such as the operating microscope, tumor fluorescence, intraoperative ultrasound, and minimally invasive surgical instrumentation. However, introducing artificial intelligence (AI) into the surgical disciplines represents a transformational event. Not only does AI contribute substantively to enhancing a surgeon's perception with such methodologies as three-dimensional anatomic overlays with augmented reality, AI-improved visualization for tumor resection, and AI-formatted endoscopic and robotic surgery guidance. What truly makes AI so different is that it also provides ways to augment the surgeon's cognition. By analyzing enormous databases, AI can offer new insights that can transform the operative environment in several ways. It can enable preoperative risk assessment and allow a better selection of candidates for procedures such as organ transplantation. AI can also increase the efficiency and throughput of operating rooms and staff and coordinate the utilization of critical resources such as intensive care unit beds and ventilators. Furthermore, AI is revolutionizing intraoperative guidance, improving the detection of cancers, permitting endovascular navigation, and ensuring the reduction in collateral damage to adjacent tissues during surgery (e.g., identification of parathyroid glands during thyroidectomy). AI is also transforming how we evaluate and assess surgical proficiency and trainees in postgraduate programs. It offers the potential for multiple, serial evaluations, using various scoring systems while remaining free from the biases that can plague human supervisors. The future of AI-driven surgery holds promising trends, including the globalization of surgical education, the miniaturization of instrumentation, and the increasing success of autonomous surgical robots. These advancements raise the prospect of deploying fully autonomous surgical robots in the near future into challenging environments such as the battlefield, disaster areas, and even extraplanetary exploration. In light of these transformative developments, it is clear that the future of surgery will belong to those who can most readily embrace and harness the power of AI.

STUDENTS’ ANXIETY IN CLASS PRESENTATION ACTIVITY AT THE POSTGRADUATE ENGLISH EDUCATION STUDY PROGRAM OF THE UNIVERSITY OF BENGKULU

Students’ anxiety can impact the learning process. Anxiety causes students to overthink and focus on the negative, such as the fear of failing, getting lost in thought about a topic, or being laughed at or ashamed by others because of a mistake. Feeling anxious makes students not know what to say while they speak in front of the class. They forget all of the words they already know, which causes them to become stuck in the middle of the presentation, and, as a result, the presentation will not run smoothly. Students will be frustrated, ashamed, hopeless, and defeated as a result of this situation. Additionally, the students are unable to achieve the anticipated learning goal. If anxiety always occurs when learning a foreign language, especially in English presentation classes, it will certainly be a very serious problem for students. As a result, it is critical to investigate, and the goal of this study is to: (1) learn about the anxiety levels experienced by postgraduate students of the English Education study program in Bengkulu. (2) reveal what factors significantly influence students' anxiety level in class presentations, and (3) reveal the methods that first-semester students of Bengkulu University's postgraduate program in English education use to reduce their anxiety. The subjects of this research were the 21 students of the first semester of the postgraduate English program at Bengkulu University, and to fulfil these research objectives, the descriptive qualitative research design was utilized in this study. In this study, the researchers collected data using instruments such as a questionnaire and an interview. After conducting the research, the results revealed that most students are at an "anxious" level, and the researchers found that there are three main factors that significantly influence their anxiety. They are communication apprehension, test anxiety, and fear of evaluation, and in order to overcome their anxiety, students have their own ways, such as being well prepared and practicing as much as possible, not overthinking, holding something, doing physical movements, and relaxing.

Walking and expressing the city collectively, a teaching-learning experience in the Postgraduate Program in Architecture and Urbanism

The article experiments with methodologies for apprehending and cognizing city spaces. It shares the development of a discipline in the Postgraduate Program in Architecture and Urbanism at Universidade Estadual Paulista (Unesp) with the theoretical-methodological discussion complemented by the practice of Wandering and Cartography in a common space in the neighborhood of Vila Colonial in the city of Bauru, SP. It distances itself from the traditional representational methods of reading the city and approaches to those that express the subjective city, the traversal through the affections of bodies and environments in order to make existential territories visible and thus think about and build a city for and with the people who inhabit the place. In this methodological procedure of wandering, it recognizes the resistance to the functionalist and productivist city and expresses, through affective cartographies, which are still in the process of construction, a visual language, as a research tool that makes it possible to report on the real city.

An Analysis of Trainee Salaries Offered in Nurse Practitioner and Physician Assistant/Associate Postgraduate Residency and Fellowship Programs in the United States.

Background Although there has been steady growth in the number of postgraduate nurse practitioner (NP) and physician assistant/associate (PA) residency and fellowship programs in the United States, little is known about annual salaries paid to trainees across a national sample of postgraduate programs and specialties. We describe postgraduate program NP and PA trainee salaries and the relationship to specific variables. Methodology An electronic survey was distributed via email to 336 postgraduate NP, PA, and joint NP/PAresidency/fellowship programs between November 2023 and December 2023.Frequency tables (for categorical variables) and descriptive statistics (for continuous variables) were used to summarize the data. Chi-square tests of independence were used to determine the relationship between trainee salary and program type, geographical location, and clinical setting. Results There was a statistically significant association between trainee salary for primary care and clinical profession (χ2(6) = 13.993, p = 0.022). Over half of NP respondents(52.1%) reported that their trainees had an annual salary between $76000 and $86000. The majority of PA respondents (57.1%) reported that their trainees had an annual salary below $75000. Respondents who were non-clinical professionals(50.0%) reported that their trainees had an annual salary of over $86000. The single physician respondent also reported that their trainees' had an annual salary of over $86000.It appears that PA respondentswere more likely to report lower trainee salaries than respondents who were NPsand non-clinical professionals. Additionally, respondents associated with primary carejoint NP/PA cohorts were more likely to report higher trainee salaries than participants having NP-only cohorts. Lastly, there was a statistically significantly positive relationship between trainee salary and the number of postgraduate advanced practice provider (APP) trainees in psychiatric mental health (τb= 0.451, p = 0.006). Conclusion To the best of our knowledge, this national study is the first of its kind to examine and summarize APP postgraduate trainee annual salaries across multiple specialties. Additional studies are needed to clarify the relationships between trainee salaries and other variables.

Graduating resident and fellow readiness for general urologic practice during the COVID-19 pandemic A survey-based assessment of trainees and program directors.

Our goal was to compare the perceived readiness of graduating urologic residents and fellows to program directors (PDs) in U.S.-based postgraduate training programs. Additionally, we set out to assess the impact of COVID-19 on postgraduation plans to pursue fellowship training. Graduating residents, fellows, and PDs of accredited residency/fellowship programs in the U.S. were surveyed. The ranked preparedness of trainees to perform common urologic procedures was measured using a Likert scale from 1 (not comfortable) to 5 (fully proficient). The impact of COVID-19 was measured using a three-point Likert scale. Chi-squared and Kruskal-Wallis analyses were used to compare the groups. From 93 responders, 21 were residents, 19 were fellows, 24 were residency PDs, and 29 were fellowship PDs. The median levels of comfort for trans-urethral resection of the prostate, hydrocelectomy, vasectomy, and urethral sling were at or above (≥3) moderate for both PDs and trainees. PDs were more likely to report underperformance for hypospadias repair (60% vs. 39%), penile prosthesis implantation (39% vs. 26%), and orthotopic neobladder formation (57% vs. 18%) than the trainees. Fifty-three (57.0%) of the surveyors felt that COVID-19 did not impact the trainees' comfort in performing general urologic procedures. COVID-19 influenced trainees' decision to pursue a fellowship or opt to practice as general urologists (p=0.002). Our study suggests there may be a self-reported discrepancy between graduating trainees and their PDs regarding trainees' comfort levels performing general urologic procedures.

Discrepancy index, treatment complexity index and objective Grading system: correlation between parameters, indices and implications for treatment

Abstract Objectives An assessment of orthodontic treatment duration and results allows for measurable outcomes, goal-setting, and the establishment of patient management standards. It is important information that can be utilised for educational purposes in an orthodontic postgraduate program. The aim of this study was to determine correlations of the parameters within and between the Objective Grading System (OGS), Discrepancy Index (DI) and Treatment Complexity Index (TCI) and identify those factors associated with treatment outcomes and duration. Materials and methods This retrospective cohort study involved a consecutive sampling of 242 pre- and post-treatment patient records from the postgraduate orthodontic clinic between 2013 and 2017. The cases were assessed using the DI, OGS, and TCI pre-treatment. Treatment outcomes were assessed using the OGS. Spearman’s Rank Correlation Coefficients were computed within and between the indices. Multiple and logistic regressions were used to evaluate associations between treatment outcomes and duration, respectively. Results Within DI, significant correlations (p < 0.05) were observed between overjet-overbite, overjet-occlusal relationship, overjet-crowding, overbite-anterior open bite, overbite-crowding, anterior open bite-lateral open bite, anterior open bite-crowding, lingual posterior cross bite-crowding. Within pre-OGS, significant correlations (p < 0.05) were observed between alignment-marginal ridge, alignment-occlusal relationship, alignment-root angulation, overjet-interproximal contact, marginal ridge-buccolingual inclination, marginal ridge-overjet, marginal ridge-occlusal contact, marginal ridge-occlusal relationship, overjet-occlusal contact, overjet-occlusal relationship, overjet-root angulation, occlusal relationship-root angulation, interproximal contact-root angulation. Within TCI, functional appliance correlated with orthognathic surgery (p < 0.001), rapid palatal expansion (RPE) (p = 0.005) and multidisciplinary collaboration (p = 0.001). Pre-OGS correlated with DI (p < 0.001) and TCI (p = 0.026). Cephalometric (p = 0.002) and other conditions (p = 0.031) were associated with treatment outcomes. RPE was associated with extended treatment duration (p = 0.014). Conclusions DI, OGS, and TCI exhibited weak correlations within and between indices. Cephalometric values, clinical conditions, and RPE use should be carefully considered during treatment planning.

Academic Adaptation of Chinese Postgraduate Students in Malaysia

In recent years, there has been a notable rise in the number of Chinese applicants seeking admission to Malaysian tertiary education institutions, particularly for postgraduate programmes. This trend can be attributed to the favourable policies implemented by the Malaysian government. For Chinese students themselves, the prior task of studying abroad is to achieve their educational goals, which is challenging for them to study in an unfamiliar educational context. This study aims to explore Chinese postgraduate students’ academic adaptation to Malaysian research-oriented universities that provide qualified postgraduate programmes. Using qualitative methods, the study conducted semi-structured interviews with 15 Chinese postgraduate students studying in five Malaysian public universities. Thematic analysis was adopted to analyse the data collected. The study’s findings unveiled the various factors affecting Chinese postgraduate students’ academic adaptation throughout their postgraduate tenure, encompassing language ability, supervisor-supervisee relationship, pedagogic differences, academic support and emotional support. In addition, the study also highlighted the strategies that Chinese postgraduate students employed to embrace these challenges. The implications of the findings are expected to help Chinese postgraduate students develop effective strategies and programs to facilitate their academic adaptation in Malaysia. Further to this, these findings can offer recommendations to higher education institutions on how to collaborate effectively with Chinese students. Keywords: Academic adaptation, Chinese postgraduate students, Malaysian universities, challenges, strategies.

Quality of Academic Services in the Academic Administration Section

Service quality is the key to the success of performance in an organization. This study aims to determine the Quality of Academic Services in the Academic Administration Section of the Postgraduate Program of the State University of Makassar. To achieve this goal, the researcher determined 10 (Ten) informants with the type of research and the approach used was qualitative descriptive. Data collection is used through observation, interview and documentation techniques. The results of the study show that using data analysis techniques consisting of data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawn. The quality of academic services in the Academic Administration Section of the Postgraduate Program of the State University of Makassar, The results of the study show that the quality of academic services in the Academic Administration Section of the Postgraduate Program of the State University of Makassar is not good because it is not in accordance with the number of employees needed in serving the number of students who need services, for example there are 3 employees so that the quality of service is not good. Therefore, judging from several indicators, namely direct evidence is still inadequate, where the capabilities possessed by employees and the condition of facilities and infrastructure are enough to support the provision of services. Reliability shows that it is good enough, this is seen as appropriate in completing documents, providing information to students accurately and reliably. Responsiveness is good, such as providing services quickly, appropriately and responsively in responding to student desires. The guarantee is still not good because there are still students who complain about the behavior of employees in providing services. Empathy is still not good because there are still students who feel that they are treated differently when receiving services

Being a Postgraduate Nursing Student in Limpopo Province, South Africa: An Exploratory Study.

Research proficiencies for nurses include the ability to search for and evaluate evidence, disseminate findings, and apply findings to practice within the context of caring. Aim: This study explored the experiences of distant postgraduate nursing students in Limpopo Province, South Africa. Methods: The population consists of all students registered for postgraduation studies in a nursing programme at two South African universities in Limpopo Province. Purposive sampling was used to select 23 registered postgraduate nursing students. Data were collected through unstructured one-on-one interviews, including an audio recorder and field notes. The narrative data from interviews were analysed qualitatively through Tesch's open coding descriptive qualitative data analysis method. Results: Three main themes emerged: the reasons behind engaging in postgraduate studies, factors impacting postgraduate studies' success, and a description of challenges associated with conducting research. Conclusions: The students generally have varied experiences about whether or not completing a research project is a valuable learning experience. The relationship between a postgraduate student and their research supervisor is crucial to ensuring that the students advance consistently and complete their theses on time. The study will, therefore, assist HEIs offering postgraduate programmes in nursing in realising the challenges faced by students and coming up with strategies to combat the challenges.

Scientific Writing Training for Elementary School Teachers, Jaka Sanga Teacher Working Group, Karanganyar Regency

This service was carried out to improve the skills of writing scientific papers for SD KKG Jaka Sanga teachers, Karanganyar Regency. It is time for teachers to have the ability to write scientific papers which can ultimately be published in journals or proceedings. Not understanding the stages in writing scientific work is quite worrying. Thus, this service is very important to be carried out, especially by the Indonesian Language Education Master's Study Program, Veteran Bangun Nusantara Sukoharjo University Postgraduate Program as a study program that has a concentration on language and literature development, as well as in terms of education. These service partners are teachers at SD KKG Jaka Sanga, Karanganyar Regency, who do not yet have the ability to write scientific articles or scientific works that are suitable for publication in journals/proceedings, so it is necessary to provide training in scientific writing skills. Developing skills in writing scientific papers to be able to publish them in a journal or proceedings is very necessary for instructors or teachers to improve their competence. Activities in this training can be divided into stages, namely: embedding information (encoding), integrating information into understanding (decoding), recording information (storing), training information through simulations (rehearsal), and learning information (learning). Based on the flow of the method above, it can be concluded that the method for implementing this activity includes: lecture, practice, simulation, and use of creative materials.
