Effect of music therapy on nursing students' first objective structured clinical exams, anxiety levels and vital signs: A randomized controlled study

BackgroundMusic is a tool that can be used to reduce stress and anxiety, maintain vital signs at normal levels, and increase exam success. ObjectivesThis study aimed to determine the effect of music therapy on nursing students' first objective structured clinical exam success, anxiety levels, and vital signs, and to reveal their views about music therapy in the context of an exam. DesignMixed-pattern single-blind randomized controlled qualitative study. SettingDepartment of Nursing, Faculty of Health Sciences, Ankara, Turkey. ParticipantsFirst-year students enrolled in the Fundamentals of Nursing II course were randomly assigned to an experimental (n = 61) or control group (n = 64). Twenty-two (22) experimental group students provided the sample for the qualitative stage. MethodsData were collected between February and June 2018 using the Informative Features Form, State-trait Anxiety Inventory, Vital Signs Assessment Form, Skill Checklists, and Focus-group Interview Form. All students completed the theoretical classes, laboratory classes, and small-group studies. The experimental group participated in five music therapy sessions two weeks before the exam. All students' vital signs were measured before and after the exam. Three focus group interviews were conducted with the 22 experimental group students in the week after the exam. ResultsThe blood pressure values of the experimental group before and after the exam were significantly lower than those of the control group (p < 0.05). No significant difference was observed between exam success and anxiety levels between the two groups. In the focus group interviews, students said they found music therapy suitable for reducing anxiety in their daily lives, but not before the exam. ConclusionsMusic therapy had positive effects on the students' blood pressure but had no effect on exam success or anxiety levels. This study suggests that more music therapy sessions be conducted with different groups of students in greater numbers before different exams.

Investigation of Clay Type on Low Salinity Water Flooding Using a Glass Micromodel

Clay minerals are usually regarded as an important factor affecting the results of low salinity water (LSW) flooding. However, experiments on clay minerals are mainly in qualitative stage, the mechanism of clay minerals has not been studied completely. In this paper, Zeta potential of four kinds of clay minerals (montmorillonite; chlorite; illite; kaolinite) in different brine was measured, microscopic models of these clay minerals were made to measured wetting angle in different brine, and montmorillonite and kaolinite were chosen to conduct microscopic displacement experiments through customized micro-glass etching models. From experiment results, the following conclusions can be get: 1). With the decrease of salinity of injected water, the negative zeta potential of clay minerals increases and the wetting angle decreases. 2). Clay minerals are more sensitive to monovalent Na+ than bivalent Ca2+. 3). The results of microscopic experiments show that LSW can effectively improve oil recovery, whether kaolinite or montmorillonite. The recovery of montmorillonite is better with a relatively high salinity of LSW and kaolinite is better with a relatively low salinity of LSW. The mechanism of LSW improves kaolinite recovery factor is the change of wettability while that of montmorillonite is the increase of water phase wettability. However, a lot of droplet-like residual oil cannot be displaced in the montmorillonite throat. In filed production, both kaolinite-rich and montmorillonite-rich reservoirs are suitable for LSW flooding to improve oil recovery. However, for kaolinite reservoirs, a lower salinity of injected water would produce a better result, while for montmorillonite reservoirs, residual oil droplets in the throat are noteworthy.

Overcoming Barriers in Intercultural Communication: A Case Study on Agricultural Idioms in English, Ukrainian and Chinese

The paper deals with the case study, focused on exploring certain problems in intercultural communication of Ukrainian and Chinese students in the academic environment of Sumy National Agrarian University. The participants of the ethnographic-linguistic stage of the experiment learned, interpreted and compared the phraseological funds of the Chinese, Ukrainian and English languages, displaying the conceptual sphere “Agriculture”, in order to find out similarities and divarications in the outlook of people, engaged in agricultural production, as well as the perception of agricultural sphere in these cultural-ethnic communities. The qualitative stage of the experiment was conducted to discover the stereotypes about the representatives of other nations, which the informants had. It was revealed that learning idioms and participation in the experiment helped students overcome the stereotypes and improve the intercultural interaction amid academic groups. It was concluded that the students, who learned the target language idioms, belonging to the conceptual sphere “Agriculture”, gained knowledge of the geographical and economic conditions, moral values and traditions of the target language native speakers, became aware of the analogies in their own background. Thus, the participants realised that they could eliminate obstacles that impeded intercultural communication by mastering culturally marked target language material concerning the sphere of their future professional activity.

Independent restaurant operator perspectives in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The purpose of this study was to assess the perceptions and attitudes of South Carolina independent full-service restaurant operators in relation to the operational and economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The study utilized a mixed-methods approach that first partnered with local administrative and governmental bodies to disseminate a short survey. The survey was open to respondents for a 5-week period, beginning May 4th, 2020, which was when restaurants were permitted to reopen indoor dining, but with seating capacity restrictions to ensure social distancing. The second qualitative stage employed semi-structured post-survey interviews with selected independent restaurant operators from across the state. The results indicated that 25% of the restaurants polled did not survive the nearly two-month closure. Less than a quarter of respondents were unable to bring back their company’s employees to pre-pandemic levels. The CARES Act financial relief programs were favored by most (81%) of the surveyed restaurant operators. Approximately 65% of the respondents did not feel they could keep their restaurants open if the pandemic restrictions remained in place until 2021. The respondents were split as to the future viability of the hospitality and tourism industry. The study offers guidance and managerial strategies for other independent full-service restaurant operators, as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve.

Designing and Psychometric Evaluation of Morbid Obesity Quality of life Questionnaire: A Mixed Methods Study

Background: Morbid obesity negatively affects all aspects of quality of life (QOL); therefore, the assessment of QOL can be a useful criterion to evaluate obesity outcome. Objective: The present study aimed to design a QOL questionnaire in morbid obesity and assess its validation features. Methods: This sequential-exploratory mixed-methods study was conducted in both qualitative and quantitative stages. The qualitative stage was carried out through 20 semi-structured interviews with morbidly obese people. Furthermore, the initial items of the questionnaire were obtained by a review of related literature. In the next stage, face, content, and construct validity were assessed. The construct validity was examined by exploratory factor analysis with 319 people. Moreover, Cronbach’s alpha and test-retest correlation coefficient were calculated to evaluate the reliability of the questionnaire. Furthermore, confirmatory factor analysis was assessed. Results: Based on the results of the quantitative stage, an 80-item pool was extracted. The exploratory factor analysis yielded six factors that explained 50.62% of the variance. The factors of one to six were as follows: self-dissatisfaction (15 items), functional disorders (7 items), spiro-mental experiences (11 items), perso-social isolation (7 items), physical changes (7 items), and financial pressure (3 items). The final Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of the 50-item questionnaire was calculated at 0.94. Moreover, the intra-class correlation coefficient between the test and retest scores was estimated at 0.97. All indicators of confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated that goodness of fit was acceptable for each factor. Furthermore, this questionnaire had appropriate interpretability, feasibility, and did not have any floor and ceiling effects. Conclusion: This valid and reliable questionnaire can be used as a suitable measurement tool for assessing the QOL of morbidly obese people in Iran and other countries with similar cultural features. This questionnaire can improve the quality of future clinical research on obesity. In addition, health care providers can perform a peculiar role in the provision of efficient services to patients to prevent obesity and its associated complications.

PROBLEMATIKA GURU DALAM PEMBELAJARAN ANAK BERKEBUTUHAN KHUSUS (ABK) SD INKLUSI TAMAN SISWA REJANG LEBONG

Children with special needs are those who need education provided according to each individual’s need. They should receive proper education in the same way as other normal children to develop their potential without any discrimination against their backgrounds. Inclusive schools become one of the answers to meet these needs. Many things must certainly be prepared by educational institutions before implementing the inclusive-based school model amid the community because this will be capable of minimizing learning problems in the future. Grounded in this issue, the researcher sought to find out more deeply the problems of implementing an inclusive education at Elementary School of Taman Siswa in Rejang Lebong. This study applied a qualitative approach, and the data were garnered by means of observation, interviews, and documentation. The data were further analyzed using qualitative analysis stages. This study found the following conclusions. The problems faced by teachers in terms of inclusive-school learning are teachers’ competences, no specific tutor for students with special needs, parents' knowledge, students’ difficulties in receiving materials, the readiness of school management, lack of government’s attention and public awareness. The efforts made by the school to overcome these problems include: implementing learning by using fun methods and media, involving students with special needs in each learning activity, providing additional time for students with special needs, and trying to make use of learning facilities individually.

Piagetian Tasks and Psychometric Intelligence: Different or Similar Constructs?

Research on cognitive ability is done in different paradigms. In the Piagetian paradigm, cognitive ability focuses on cognitive development along qualitative stages. Interactive real scenarios, "Piagetian tasks", are constructed for measurement. According to age, tasks differing in complexity are applied in individual measurements. In the psychometric paradigm, the investigation of cognitive ability focuses on individual differences. Intelligence is seen as a quantitative construct with gradual differences between persons and ages. Paper-and-pencil tests with items differing in difficulty are used for IQ measurement of single persons or school classes. However, do those tasks measure two distinct cognitive abilities? Solving tasks in both approaches requires basic (speed, working memory) and complex cognitive abilities (reasoning, understanding). Regarding empirical relationships, we used three Austrian samples (in kindergarten four to six years old N = 40, in primary school six to eight years old N = 40, and nine to ten years old N = 41). They were tested with psychometric tests (Raven CPM or SPM) and Piagetian tasks. In addition, mental speed (ZVT) was measured in the two school samples. The average observed correlation between IQ and Piagetian tasks was r = .51. In factor analyses, the tests loaded on a common factor of general intelligence. Further analyses revealed that mental speed is correlated more strongly with psychometric (r = .50) than with Piagetian tasks (r = .39), while Piagetian tasks are more related to parental education indicators (speed: r = .11, Raven: r = .20, Piaget: r = .25).

Identifying Qualitative Factors Affecting the Quality of Clinical Education

Background and Aim: Training clinical students who learn the theoretical lessons in hospitals in practice will play an important role in improving treatment processes and providing better services to patients. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to identify the factors affecting the quality of clinical education in hospitals in Saveh City. Methods &amp; Materials: This research is a combination of exploratory studies and exploratory projects. In the qualitative stage, the qualitative method of Grand Strauss and Corbyn 1998 was used to explain the quality of clinical training. Since the students who have taken clinical courses in the Faculty of Medical Sciences of Saveh Hospitals in 1398-1397 are about 200 people and the professors and educators who teach these people are about 20 people, which according to Karajsi and Morgan, the sample size should be 140, of which 20 were interviewed and 120 were filled out with paper and electronic questionnaires. In this study, semi-structured interviews, and a researcher-made questionnaire with Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of 0.598 were selected as the data collection method. This research was performed using the qualitative method and using MAZQDA 10 and SPSS 26 software, the items obtained from qualitative research were collected and exploratory factor analysis was used to identify the factors. Ethical Considerations: Considering that this study is one of the research priorities of Saveh School of Medical Sciences, it has a research license letter (No. 24.127. D.99). Results: The results showed that the factors affecting the quality of clinical education include five factors. The first factor is space and facilities, the second factor is the improvement of educational processes, the third factor is educational and managerial deficiencies, the fourth factor is the evaluation of the teacher and the fifth factor is the qualitative improvement of education. Conclusion: According to the quantitative and qualitative results of this study and by interviewing twenty experienced professors and student representatives, the factors affecting the quality of clinical education in Saveh hospitals were identified.

The State Civil Apparatus (ASN) must be able to actualize the five basic values of ASN which consist of Accountability, Nationalism, Public Ethics, Quality Commitment and Anti-Corruption (ANEKA) based on Law Number 5 of 2014 concerning ASN. These basic values of ANEKA are the initial capital for ASN in carrying out its main duties and functions in the working institution. This study aims to determine the effect of understanding the basic values of ANEKA on behaviour change before and after basic training (Latsar) CPNS. This research uses mixed methods research. In the quantitative stage, data from 162 CPNS Class 1 to 12 the Year 2019 Latsar participants collected through a questionnaire survey were analyzed using the Paired Samples t-Test method technique, while the qualitative stage was conducted by conducting an interview process and open questionnaires to 162 CPNS Class 1 to 12 of 2019 and 8 supervisors of the work unit of the Latsar participants were analyzed descriptively. The results showed that there was an effect of the basic values of Accountability (X1), Nationalism (X2), Public Ethics (X3), Quality Commitment (X4) and Anti-Corruption (X5) in before and after attending CPNS Latsar on behaviour changes in Latsar participants. CPNS so that according to the supervisor of the work unit there was a significant change in the behaviour of the participants by the expected behaviour as a professional CPNS compared to before being included in the CPNS Latsar and there were obstacles experienced by the CPNS Latsar participants having difficulty actualizing ANEKA's basic values in the form of work behaviour.

Youth-oriented outcomes of education, employment andtraining interventions for upcoming youth: Protocol foradiscrete choice experiment.

The issue of youth who are not engaged in education, employment or training has been a focus of policymakers for decades. Although interventions exist for these youth, they often measure success in ways that fail to capture what youth seek to gain. The project aims to address this gap by assessing youth-oriented outcomes for interventions targeting upcoming youth. Acknowledging the stigma attached to the deficit-based notion of not engaged in education, employment or training, hereafter we refer to 'upcoming youth', a term coined by youth partners on the project. This study asks what youth want to achieve by participating in an intervention for upcoming youth, with a view to guiding service and research design. A mixed-methods discrete choice experiment will be conducted with youth engaged as partners. A qualitative (focus group) stage will be conducted to design discrete-choice experiment attributes and levels. The experiment will be piloted and administered online to approx. 500 youth (aged 14-29) across Canada to identify the outcomes that youth prioritize for interventions. Latent class analyses will then be conducted to explore clusters of outcomes that different groups of youth prioritize. From a strengths-based recovery-oriented framework, hearing the voices of the target population is important in designing and evaluating services. This youth-oriented research project will identify the intervention outcomes that are the highest priority for upcoming youth. Findings will inform the development, implementation and testing of interventions targeting relevant outcomes for youth who are not engaged in education, employment or training.

Development and psychometric evaluation of a quality of life questionnaire for infertile women: a mixed method study

BackgroundInfertility is one of the most important issues that negatively influences women’s quality of life, especially when the cause is associated with females. Given that no instruments have been designed to assess quality of life among infertile women with focus on female factors, this study was conducted to develop and evaluate the psychometric properties of a female-centric quality of life questionnaire for infertile women.MethodThis sequential exploratory study was conducted in two stages. First, the concept of quality of life and its dimensions as they relate to infertile women were elucidated through a qualitative inquiry accompanied with a content analysis. Accordingly, infertile women and key informants from a teaching hospital affiliated with the Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences and a private center for infertility treatment in Sari (north of Iran) were screened through purposive sampling until data saturation. Those who satisfied the inclusion criteria and exhibited maximum variance in terms of age, educational level, employment status, infertility duration, treatment type, and social class were recruited. The conventional content analysis was carried out in accordance with the steps proposed by Graneheim and Lundman, and the accuracy and robustness of the data were verified using Lincoln and Guba’s criteria (credibility, transferability, dependability, confirmability and authenticity). Second, the psychometric properties of the instrument developed in the qualitative stage were evaluated using a quantitative method and on the basis of the results of a literature review. The content, face, and construct validity of the instrument was determined, and its test–retest reliability and stability were ascertained using internal correlation and Cronbach’s alpha. The collected data were entered into the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (version 22) for analysis, and descriptive statistics were calculated.DiscussionDeveloping and evaluating the psychometric properties of a valid and reliable female factor-centric instrument that measures quality of life among infertile women will be very useful in the assessment of their future status.

Developing an instrument to assess cancer patient preparedness for transition to survivorship care in Korea

AbstractPurposeThe current study specified the initial qualitative stage to develop an instrument that assesses whether patients with cancer in Korea are ready for the transition from hospital‐based to community‐based survivorship care, focusing on psychosocial and behavioral aspects.MethodsIndividual interviews with cancer survivors, family members, and healthcare professionals in South Korea were conducted. Subsequently, analyses of qualitative data for creating items and pilot testing were performed to develop an instrument for Korean cancer survivors.ResultsAn item pool for an initial version of a new instrument called the “Preparedness for Transition to Survivorship Care Instrument (PTSCI)” was developed by creating 20 themes and 41 subthemes around each of the 401 codes. After assessing face validity, a set of 46 items was chosen. The 46 items were organized into 6 components: (1) physical, (2) cognitive, (3) psychological, (4) social, (5) health management, and (6) information. The Cronbach's alpha of the instrument in the pilot testing was 0.872.DiscussionThe PTSCI offers an opportunity to identify the psychosocial and behavioral status of patients with cancer in the survivorship phase. This new instrument can be used to test psychosocial and behavioral interventions for individuals who are not ready for the survivorship care phase.
