Assessment of Dental Residents' Attitudes toward Learning Communication Skills

Introduction: Communication is a central part of our daily clinical lives and forms the foundation of a good professional relationship. This study aims to evaluate the attitudes of residents at the Faculty of dental medicine (FDM) UNIVERSITY HASSAN II CASABLANCA regarding the learning of communication skills. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study to assess the attitudes of FDM residents about learning communication skills, we distributed the questionnaire to all residents. We used as an instrument an anonymous questionnaire in English, this questionnaire is divided into two parts: part A devoted to socio-demographic data such as age, gender, and year of study, and part B used a validated scale developed by Rees to measure residents' attitude towards social sciences. Results: all residents agreed to complete the questionnaire, responses, i.e. a response rate of 100%, the mean age of the residents was 26,9 ± 2,96, with extremes ranging from 23 to 40 years. The score of positive attitude score over the entire study population was 53.13 ± 5.2 (43-63) and the mean score of negative attitude score was 36.77 ± 7.01 (24-52). The residents have manifested an interest to participate in CS courses. Discussion: The success of the therapeutic relationship cannot be achieved without a certain congruence between the patient and the practitioner. In addition, it appears that the only way to achieve this goal is through communication. Communication is very important for a successful therapeutic relationship in dentistry, several studies have focused on the communication training of dental students, and these studies have recommended from their findings that it is necessary to include communication skills courses and examinations in the dental curriculum. Conclusion: It is concluded from our study that dental residents are interested in learning communication skills. It is therefore proposed to continuously train residents in communication skills as part of their training curriculum and to evaluate the learned communication skills continuously by professors.

"Deeds for the Benefit of the Development of Cities": About the Association of Artists of the Irkutsk Province in the 1880-1900s

Relevance. In the 1880s - 1900s, artists sought to create creative associations, whose activities were aimed at the development of public initiative, urban spaces. The gradual discovery of new funds, sources in the archives, the identification of information about artists, the history of acquisition of museums, the creation of exhibitions, update the process of studying the association of artists for the benefit of the development of cities in the Irkutsk province.The purpose is to restore the history of the association of artists and deeds in the organization of work on the development of cities in the Irkutsk province in the 1880-1900s.Objectives: to study documentary evidence of artistic events in order to understand the principles of interaction between artists and the urban community on the construction of work on the improvement of spaces, the development of territories; consider the activities of artists in the framework of the creation of museum collections, creative associations for the organization of traveling exhibitions and expositions based on the research; determine the role of art communities in the creation of exhibition, mobile spaces, the formation of visitors' ideas about the role of museums in the development of cities in the Irkutsk province.Methodology. The work uses an integrated approach. The principle of historicism, objectivity, scientific character is taken into account, problem-chronological and historical-genetic methods are used.Results. In the process of parsing the archives of Irkutsk, materials were found that describe the artistic work of artists in the development of museums in the Irkutsk province. In the 1880s-1900s, it is possible to observe the process of urban residents turning to the preservation of artistic heritage, the improvement of cultural centers to attract the attention of the younger generation to the work of creative associations in the acquisition of regional museum collections.Conclusions. Artists of the Irkutsk province create associations to maintain exhibition, mobile spaces that existed at museums and generally significant city places. The attitude of urban residents to well-known artistic and educational centers is changing. The interest of artists in the development of cities confirms the effectiveness of interaction with the public. Materials about the work of creative associations represent events about the formation of art spaces.

Why municipalities reject wind power: A study on municipal acceptance and rejection of wind power instalments in Sweden

This article explores municipal acceptance of wind power in Sweden and draws conclusions on the basis of semi-structured interviews with municipal decision-makers, together with analysis of documents and statistical data. In line with previous research, it demonstrates that wind power opposition is more complex than just a NIMBY effect. The attitudes of local residents influence municipal decision-makers, but may also act to augment and mobilize opposition. Perceptions of distributional injustice, generated by the lack of local economic benefits and the geographically uneven deployment of wind and hydropower, are also relevant in explaining community and municipal acceptance. Moreover, municipal acceptance depends on national political discourses, economic aspects, institutional settings, regulations and sociopolitical factors. To overcome acceptance barriers, the article argues for the need of some kind of formal compensation schemes, directed to both local communities and the municipality. The authority of the municipality to levy taxes on wind power could potentially rectify perceptions of energy injustice between different geographic regions, stimulate higher approval rates, and motivate municipalities to assume a role as an intermediary, accommodating different, and sometimes conflicting, local, national, and global interests.

MODEL LAYANAN PUBLIK RAMAH DIFABEL INISIATIF MEMBANGUN KOTA INKLUSI

Disability is a complex issue at all levels of society. Disabilities include people with physical and psychological deficiencies in society. So the mention of people with disabilities can be more familiar by calling them disabled. With the diffable predicate, people can easily divide their social strata with 'normal people' rather than 'disabled/disabled people'. The purpose of this research is to find ideas and theoretical foundations that can be used to define "inclusive cities." Because definitions alone are not enough, this article will also examine indicators of inclusive cities. This study uses qualitative research. Based on the theoretical studies conducted, the authors argue that there are four indicators of an inclusive city: (i) the participation of persons with disabilities; (ii) there are efforts to fulfill the rights of persons with disabilities; (iii) guaranteed accessibility; and (iv) the inclusive attitude of the city residents.

MIGRATION SENTIMENTS OF THE POPULATION OF THE NORTHERN REGION OF THE REPUBLIC OF KAZAKHSTAN IN 1999-2009

The article is devoted to the study of migration attitudes of residents of the Northern region of the Republic of Kazakhstan in 1999-2009. Observed in the 90s of the twentieth century in the region, the trend towards a decrease in the population was replaced in the 2000s by the stabilization of migration flows. The authors of the article analyzed the migration attitudes of the population of the northern regions of the country, migration processes in the northern regions of the Republic of Kazakhstan from 1999 to 2009. The stabilization of migration processes during this period was the result of the demographic and migration policy of the independent state. Migration processes affect the formation of labor resources through changes in the size of the population, its age and gender structure, which affects the level of productivity of social labor, the socio-economic development of the region, and the qualitative composition of the population.

The ‘xenophobic’ resident: modelling the interplay between phobic cognition, perceived safety and hospitality post the Chinese ‘zero-COVID-19’ policy

ABSTRACT A conceptual mediation model was developed to explore the resident-tourist nexus, particularly the interplay between xenophobia and the perceived safety of travel and tourism activity in influencing residents’ hospitality towards inbound Chinese tourists post-China’s ‘zero-COVID-19’ policy. Data from a cross-sectional deductive study were generated from n = 499 residents. Underpinned by the Stimuli-Organism-Response model, the results of the mediation model reveal the negative indirect effects of resident xenophobic attitudes on residents’ hospitality. Primarily via the intervening effect of perceived safety. Residents’ phobic attitude also directly influences how safe residents perceive travel and tourism activity in their locale to be and how hospitable residents would be towards inbound tourists from a selectively ‘ostracised’ source market such as China. The findings highlight the importance of the resident-tourist nexus as an antecedent to the overall post-crisis tourist experience and sustainable tourism recovery. The resident-tourist interaction emerges as a critical post-crisis discourse and the in-situ empirical findings of this study offer tourism marketing practitioners and policy-makers critical insights into resident-responsive behaviour towards foreign tourists.

EPH97 Application of Self-Protective Behaviors in Balancing Objective and Subjective COVID-19 Risk Assessments Among Residents in an Urban Setting

We examined the association between self-perceived and Latent Class Analysis (LCA) assessed risk of COVID-19 infection and evaluated their relationships with sociodemographic and modifiable behavioral factors among residents of Onitsha, an urban city in Nigeria. We analyzed data from a cross-sectional survey (n=140) conducted in March 2020. The survey elicited information on the participants’ demographic characteristics, COVID-19 knowledge, attitude, preventive practice, level of preparedness, misconceptions, and COVID-19 information gaps. Participants were classified as being “not at risk” or “at risk” based on self-perceived risk of COVID-19 infection (subjective) and LCA-segmented risk clusters (objective). We applied the Chi-square test and used Kendall rank correlation analysis to determine the relationship between demographic characteristics and self-protective behaviors by the risk assessment methods. There was a significant association between subjective (32.4%) and objective (50.7%) assessments of COVID-19 risk (X2=5.38, p<0.05) among the survey participants. However, those who perceived themselves at risk of COVID-19 were 58% less likely to be classified as such when assessed objectively (OR: 0.42, 95%CI: 0.20-0.88, p<0.05). In contrast, those who perceived themselves to be at no risk were 2.38 times (OR: 2.38, 95%CI: 1.13-4.99, p<0.05) more likely to be at risk when assessed objectively. Significantly negative and low correlation was observed between subjective and objective assessments ((Kendall's tau-b (τb)= -0.193,p<0.05). Relationship between knowledge and attitude of residents toward COVID-19 were in opposite direction (τb= 0.431,p<0.01 (subjective) and τb= -0.339,p<0.01 (objective)). Adoption of preventive practices was negatively correlated with information gap among persons assessed both subjectively (τb= -0.379,p<0.01) and objectively (τb= -0.404,p<0.001) for COVID-19 risks. Objective assessment allowed for the integration of self-protective behaviors in the model, making it a reliable framework for identifying at risk group and tailoring intervention program aimed at curbing the devastating impact of COVID-19 among the city residents.

Stigma and Countertransference in Resident Attitudes toward Patients with Substance Use Disorders.

Apprehending the full range of one's countertransference presents a challenge for the new therapist and psychiatry resident. Experiencing negative or aggressive feelings while also striving to consolidate one's professional identity and self-experience as a good, helpful, and competent doctor feels dissonant and contradictory. Developing and practicing the skills of countertransference awareness and analysis are crucial aspects of psychiatry and psychotherapy training. These skills can help the trainee navigate difficult clinical interactions through reflection on their own anxieties, as well as the unconscious social and personal biases and motivations that shape their countertransferences. This article examines some of the countertransference reactions that may be colored by social and personal stigma toward patients with substance use disorders. Acknowledging and exploring such countertransference reactions in training not only can provide valuable insights into the psychodynamic experiences of the patient and the treatment dyad, but also can sharpen a lifelong tool, helping the trainees weather powerful and disorienting countertransference currents, untangle their personal motivations and prejudices, and recognize the times when supervision may help to provide containment and clarity throughout their careers.

(429) A Pilot Assessment of Urologic Surgery Resident Attitudes on Utilization of MyTipReport Feedback Software in Inflatable Penile Prosthesis Placement Surgery- A single-site pilot study

Abstract Introduction MyTipReport is an innovative online software that allows for capturing, sharing, and reviewing feedback in medical education amongst students, residents, and educators. There has been extensive research into the utilization and integration of this software into medical residency programs to evaluate and provide feedback to learners. However, there is a paucity of literature regarding evaluation of resident attitudes and beliefs in the role this software plays to establish surgical competency. Objective At a single, high-volume institution performing Inflatable Penile Prosthesis cases, our objective is to evaluate resident attitudes regarding utilization of MyTipReport in their competency assisting and performing Inflatable Penile Prosthesis operations. Methods From December 2021 to May 2022, residents were evaluated using MyTipReport during all resident staffed penile prosthesis surgeries. Residents were evaluated through a number of crucial steps during Inflatable Penile Prosthesis placement. Trainees who have utilized MyTipReport then completed a standardized survey to assess if the feedback system provided by MyTipReport has provided benefit in their training, specifically in regard to Inflatable Penile Prosthesis placement surgery, Figure 1. Two-tailed t-test was used to determine difference in mean survey response score between sub-groups. P value &amp;lt;0.05 was used to define significance. Results A total of 7 residents performed 44 penile implant surgeries at a single Urology residency program and utilized MyTipReport for feedback. All 7 completed the survey. Of the included cohort, 28.6% of respondents (n=2) were senior residents, and 71.4% were junior residents (n=5). Additionally, 57.1% (n=4) respondents were male and 42.9% (n=3) were female. Mean survey responses for the cohort are summarized in Figure 2. All 7 respondents answered Question 9 and Question 10 with “5 - Overall Positive”, with a mean response of 5. For Questions 1-8 of the survey, no statistically significant difference in mean response was noted between senior residents and junior residents (p&amp;gt;0.05), as depicted in Table 1. When stratified between male and female residents, there was a statistically significant difference in mean response for Question 2, “How do you feel MyTipReport feedback has impacted your confidence as a resident on Inflatable Penile Prosthesis placement surgeries?”, with a mean response of 3.5 for the male residents versus 5 for the female residents, respectively (p&amp;lt;0.05), shown in Table 1. Conclusions Initial incorporation of the MyTipReport feedback software in a single-site Urology Residency program as a means of evaluating and providing feedback in IPP placement operations shows promising early results. Resident attitudes toward using the MyTipReport software to receive feedback are overall positive. Understanding ways to improve and optimize the utilization of MyTipReport in Urology residency program education should be the focus of future studies prior to expanded application and implementation.

Knowledge Attitudes Practice and Barriers toward Conducting Research in Emergency Residents

Background: In medical institutes, research is a significant part of postgraduate education. Only a small number of emergency residents were able to publish their study, though. According to reports, some of the barriers to conducting research include a lack of cash and time, inadequate infrastructure, inadequate research expertise and technique, and poor research beliefs.&#x0D; Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess the clinical residents' knowledge, attitudes, practices, and impediments to conducting research.&#x0D; Methods: The study was conducted in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and involved the King Saud Medical City (KSMC), King Salman Hospital, Aliman General Hospital, and Imam Abdulrahman Alfaisal Hospital. The research was a cross-sectional descriptive study. Data about residents was acquired between February 2023 and April 2023. In comparison to other hospitals, KSMC is a notable university hospital in Saudi Arabia with more years of postgraduate training experience. Only ambulatory emergency residents were recruited for this investigation. Data was gathered using a structured questionnaire that had been evaluated beforehand. The survey was modified from a verified survey created by Vodopivec et al. Many developing nations employ the tool for comparable surveys.&#x0D; Results: 124 residents participated in the study. The participant's background characteristics are displayed in Table 1. The participants' average age was 27. Over 30 was the age range for 69.3% of the participants. Men made up 71.7% of the participants. Only 22.1% of postgraduate students reported having such training. Additionally, 28% of them had publications, and 54.4% had some experience in research. Research training received during graduate studies had a greater favorable impact on research practice than research training received during undergraduate schooling (p 0.02).&#x0D; Conclusion: Although the participants had a favorable attitude toward research, their practice was insufficient due to their lack of understanding of it. The gap between a high level of optimism, limited research understanding, and scant research practice need to be filled. Perhaps by enhancing their expertise while pursuing graduate courses, this can be accomplished. To advance residents' knowledge and research practice, it is advised that they have access to improved financial support and research mentorship.

Fertility Preservation Knowledge, Attitudes, and Self-Reported Behaviors of Resident Physicians.

Purpose: Fertility preservation (FP) and family building are important considerations for quality survivorship for young cancer patients. Resident physicians across all specialties encounter reproductive-aged cancer patients. The purpose of this study was to assess resident physicians' attitudes and awareness about FP with the goal to identify specific educational gaps to direct future training. Methods: The Institutional Review Board (IRB)-approved anonymous online survey was sent to resident physicians across specialties at three separate academic-affiliated campuses in one state. The survey consisted of three sections: awareness about FP options and knowledge about referral placement, attitudes and comfort levels discussing FP, and practices regarding FP. Data were collected in Qualtrics and analyzed by resident specialty, age, level of training, and gender. Statistical analyses were conducted with Prism. Results: Obstetrics and gynecology residents and fellows were significantly more aware of FP options in cancer patients than their counterparts in other specialties. Postgraduate year (PGY 3) residents and beyond were more aware of at least one male and one female FP option compared with PGY 1 and 2 residents. Of importance, we found that the majority of resident physicians are aware of FP options and the referral process, but they are uncomfortable discussing these techniques with their patients. Conclusion: To provide better education for patients, focus should be on outpatient educational activities for both the health care provider and the patient to facilitate conversation about FP.

An Investigation of the Relationship Between Resident Place Image and Attitudes During Hosting a Sporting Event: A Reflective–Formative Approach

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between place image and attitudes toward cities with the moderating effect of sporting event awareness. Exploratory research was conducted using a mall-intercept sampling technique with a sample of 299 local residents. PLS-SEM using SmartPLS 3.3.2 was performed to test the hypothesized relationships. The findings demonstrated a significant relationship between place image and resident attitudes. In addition, a reflective–formative construct of place image showed that municipal facilities, leisure, and public services were significant factors in influencing perceptions of place image. The moderating effect of awareness was not found to be significant. The results of this study recommend that city authorities and tourism managers recognize and address the various dimensions of place image to increase community support. This would benefit event managers through developing favorable attitudes of residents towards their cities, thus having a social impact on the host city's residents.

Отношение жителей мегаполиса к личному и общественному транспорту

&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The article is concerned with the analysis of modern international researches on the people&amp;rsquo;s attitude to personal and public transport. The article is aimed at a theoretical study of the attitude to personal and public transport abroad and is carried out by analyzing recent researches. Today, the perception of public transport by the society is burdened by the consequences of the experienced COVID-19 pandemic. &amp;ldquo;Rehabilitation&amp;rdquo; and expansion of public transport services in the minds of the population is one of the most important tasks of the transport services sector in modern megacities. Partly it helps to solve the service of "sharing" the car - car sharing and ride pooling, but the attitude of residents of megacities towards them is ambiguous. Nevertheless, these types of transport can be conditionally classified as public, as they allow reducing the share of personal vehicles on the roads of cities, providing more &amp;ldquo;secluded&amp;rdquo; and, therefore, safer travel conditions in terms of individual protection from spreading infectious diseases. At the same time, car sharing and ride pooling allow to maintain a safe psychological distance. Not many studies have been devoted to the study of various socio-psychological factors of a person's attitude to public transport and, in particular, car sharing, a number of them are based on the theory of planned behavior. Partially some of these factors are discussed in this article. The results of the analysis make it possible to identify the features of the attitude of public transport users to its new types - car sharing and ride pooling, to analyze its advantages and disadvantages from the point of view of residents of megacities.&lt;/p&gt;

Carbon Neutrality Goal Is Too Far Away? Residents’ Psychological Distance of Low-Carbon Policy Over Time and Space in China

Residents' psychological time and space distance from the low-carbon policy can affect their support for the policy. The objective of this study is to investigate the psychological spatiotemporal distance of Chinese residents toward low-carbon policies and its influencing factors. Structural equation modeling was used in this study. Based on the data from the questionnaire survey, we found that most of the interviewed residents had a psychological time distance of 21–30 years for low-carbon policies, while the spatial distance was in the "global" range. Therefore, the goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2060 exceeds the psychological time distance of the interviewed residents. The results of the structural equation model showed that residents' psychological time distance toward low-carbon policies is significantly and positively correlated with policy effects, policy costs, and residents' low-carbon values and attitudes. Residents' psychological spatial distance to low-carbon policies was significantly and positively correlated with the effects of low-carbon policies and residents' low-carbon values and attitudes.

Status of nutrition labeling knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of residents in the community and structural equation modeling analysis.

Unhealthy foods were a major contributor to the occurrence of chronic non-communicable diseases. The promotion of nutrition labeling in the community can effectively help residents to choose healthy foods, which plays an important role in the prevention of chronic diseases. However, the public awareness of this measure is not clear. Our study used a structural equation model based on the KAP theory to analyze the interaction mechanisms among knowledge, attitude, and practice and aimed to evaluate the relationships among nutrition knowledge, attitude, and practice of residents, which can provide the basis of policy formulation for nutrition education and behavior intervention. We carried out a cross-sectional study from May 2022 to July 2022 in the "Community Health Service Center", and each "Community Service Station" in Yinchuan use a self-designed questionnaire and convenience sampling to evaluate resident nutrition labeling KAP status. This study adopted the structural equation modeling approach to analyze a survey of Chinese individuals through the cognitive processing model, interrelated nutrition knowledge, nutrition label knowledge, attitude, and practice. According to the principle of sample size estimation, a total of 636 individuals were investigated, with the ratio of male to female being 1:1.2. The average score of community residents' nutrition knowledge was 7.48 ± 3.24, and the passing rate was 19.4%. Most residents had a positive attitude toward nutrition labeling, but the awareness rate was only 32.7% and the utilization rate was 38.5%. Univariate analysis showed that women had higher knowledge scores than men (p < 0.05), and young people had higher scores than older adults (p < 0.05), and the difference was significant. Based on the KAP structural equation model (SEM), residents' nutrition knowledge will directly affect their attitude toward nutrition labeling. Attitude played a greater role as an indirect effect between knowledge and behavior, while trust limits residents' practice of nutrition labeling and then affects their practice. It could be explained that nutrition knowledge was the prerequisite for label reading behavior, and attitude was the intermediary effect. The nutrition knowledge and nutrition labeling knowledge of respondents hardly directly support the practice of nutrition labeling, but it can influence the use behavior by forming a positive attitude. The KAP model is suitable for explaining residents' use of nutrition labeling in the region. Future research should focus on better understanding the motivations of residents to use nutrition labeling and the opportunity to use nutrition labeling in real-life shopping settings.

Exploring the motivations and obstacles of the public's garbage classification participation: evidence from Sina Weibo.

China has been implementing garbage classification to improve resource recycling for many years. Since garbage classification is essentially a social activity, it needs the active participation of the public. However, the phenomenon of "high practice, low effect" is widespread in most cities. Therefore, this paper uses the data from Sina Weibo to analyze the reasons for the poor garbage classification effect. First, the key factors affecting residents' willingness to participate in garbage classification are identified based on the text-mining method. Further, this paper analyzes the reasons that promote or hinder the residents' intention of garbage classification. Finally, the resident's attitude towards garbage classification is explored by the score of the text's emotional orientation, and further the reasons for the positive and negative emotional orientation are analyzed, respectively. The main conclusions are as follows: (1) The proportion of residents holding negative sentiment towards garbage classification is as high as 55%. (2) Residents' positive emotions are mainly caused by the public's sense of environmental protection inspired by publicity and education, and the incentive measures taken by the government. (3) The main reasons for negative emotions are imperfect infrastructure and unreasonable garbage sorting arrangements.

Resident Visit Productivity and Attitudes About Continuity According to 3 Versus 4 Years of Training in Family Medicine: A Length of Training Study.

Training models in the Length of Training Pilot (LOTP) vary. How innovations in training length affect patient visits and resident perceptions of continuity is unknown. We analyzed resident in-person patient encounters (2013-2014 through 2018-2019) for each postgraduate year (PGY) and total visits at graduation derived from the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education reports for each LOTP program. We collected data on residents' perceptions of continuity from annual surveys (2015-2019). We analyzed continuous variables using independent samples t tests with unequal variance and categorical variables using χ2 tests in comparing 3-year (3YR) versus 4-year (4YR) programs. PGY-1 and PGY-2 residents in 4YR programs saw statistically more patients than their counterparts in 3YR programs. In PGY3, 3YR program residents had statistically higher visit volume compared to 4YR program residents. Visits conducted in PGY4 ranged from 832 to 884. The additional year of training resulted in approximately 1,000 more total patient visits. Most residents in 3YR and 4YR programs rated their continuity clinic experience as somewhat or very adequate (range 86.3% to 93.7%), which did not statistically differ according to length of training. Resident visits were significantly different at each PGY level when comparing 3YR and 4YR programs in the LOTP and the additional year of training resulted in about 1,000 more total visits. Resident perspectives on the adequacy of their continuity clinic experience appeared to not be affected by length of training. Future research should explore how the volume of patient visits performed in residency affects scope of practice and clinical preparedness.

Tokyo 2020 and diversity attitudes of young residents: A latent change score analysis of effects of event identification

This research applies social identity and self-categorization theories to investigate how changes in social identification with a mega-event are associated with changes in residents' universal-diverse orientation, a measure of attitudes toward diversity. Panel survey data from 581 young adult residents of Tokyo before and after the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games were analyzed via latent change score modeling. Results indicate that these residents experienced a greater increase in universal-diverse orientation if they increased their identification with the Games to a greater degree, and this relationship was mediated by changes in their perceptions of how the event represented diversity-related values. Our findings underscore the importance of strengthening residents' social identification to expand the capacity of mega-events for diversity promotion.

Improving Health Equity Through Health Literacy Education.

Health literacy is the ability to understand and use health information. More than one-third of adults living in the United States have limited health literacy, which is associated with adverse health outcomes. Physicians need education about how to communicate effectively across the range of health literacy levels, but residency programs often fail to provide it. We aimed to develop and evaluate a curriculum to establish evidence-based recommendations for training family medicine resident physicians to communicate effectively across the range of health literacy levels. We developed and implemented a 6-month curriculum about health literacy and best practices for communication and collected three pre-/post-measures: patient surveys, videos of residents' patient encounters, and resident self-surveys of knowledge, attitudes, and use of communication techniques. Training of 39 residents included conferences, videotape reviews, written feedback, targeted supervision, and environmental cues. All knowledge/attitude questions on the resident survey improved significantly, as did the use of 4 of 6 communication techniques. Video observation also showed significant improvement in the residents' use of three techniques and a decrease in jargon use and an increase in "plain language" explanations of terms. Multimodal interventions improved residents' knowledge and attitudes about health literacy and use of health literacy precautions. [HLRP: Health Literacy Research and Practice. 2023;7(2):e99-e104.].

Proposed methods to increase resident research productivity include longitudinal mentoring, protected time, financial incentives, and formal curricula. Our residency program launched a month-long research rotation for PGY2-4 annually. The goal of this rotation was to expand knowledge of the research process, provide dedicated time for research, and increase scholarly output. We assessed the impact of this new research rotation on resident research productivity and attitudes toward research. METHODS: Residents were asked to complete pre- and post-curriculum evaluations and data from 18 research months have been included from 12 residents (6 residents: multiple rotations over the 2.5 years). RESULTS: The research rotation was rated very highly by residents, who indicated that the month was adequate time to meet their research goals, would recommend it to other residency programs, and felt it was beneficial in advancing their research productivity and ability to meet department research goals (p<0.05, Figure 1). The rotation increased resident-reported research knowledge (p<0.05, Figure 2). Number of resident publications increased from an average of 10.5/year (pre-rotation implementation) to an average of 18 per year (13/year just research rotation residents). First-author publications rose from an average of 4.5 pre-rotation to 15 after rotation implementation (12/year just research rotation residents). CONCLUSIONS: Dedicated research rotation may increase resident research productivity as well as attitudes towards research expectations.
