A novel oral medicine-centered interprofessional curricular initiative to promote collaboration and build oral health capacity.

Oral physicians should possess knowledge, skills, and attitudes required for functioning in the evolving integrated care systems. Paramount for addressing the existing oral health disparities is also adequate training of non-dental health professionals in the foundations of oral health. We conducted interprofessional oral medicine-centered case conferences to prepare dental students for collaborative care and to increase awareness of non-dental students about the mouth-body connection. Herein, we share our perspective and the students' feedback about this educational program. Students from seven health profession and social work programs attended an interactive, online oral medicine-centered case conference facilitated by an oral medicine faculty and at least one faculty from another profession. Faculty facilitators guided students to identify key points and encouraged team-based care. Anonymous, voluntary online surveys were distributed to participants immediately after each session. Descriptive data tabulated and analyzed. A total of 151 students participated in conferences between 11/11/2022 and 3/24/2023 and 132 (87%) submitted postexperience surveys. Students agreed that the case conference was applicable to their profession (95%) and meaningful (94%), they learned new information about other professions (94%), they could contribute to discussions (90%), interactions were respectful (99%), and discussions emphasized interprofessional collaboration (96%). Non-dental respondents learned more about oral-systemic link (95%), recognized a broader role for dentists (90%), and agreed with inclusion of more oral health content in their curricula (79%). Oral medicine-centered case conferences provided an effective curricular path for demonstrating oral-systemic connection, promoting meaningful interprofessional collaboration, and building oral health capacity among students of non-dental health professions.

Nursing students' awareness, knowledge, and attitudes regarding telehealth and telenursing use for high-quality healthcare: A cross-sectional study

BackgroundIncreasing technology use in healthcare has led to a focus on improving aspects of telehealth delivery to facilitate healthcare. Thus, students' understanding of the importance of telehealth and telenursing must be improved, as this plays a crucial role in shaping the future of healthcare. This study aimed to examine nursing students' awareness, knowledge, and attitudes regarding telehealth and telenursing use for high-quality healthcare. MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted on a convenience sample of 204 nursing students attending a public university in Saudi Arabia. An online questionnaire, supplemented by additional instruments, was used for data collection. The required bivariate and multivariate analyses were used to analyze the collected data. ResultsThe study revealed that nursing students exhibited moderately high levels of awareness, knowledge, and attitudes regarding technology use for high-quality healthcare. Significant differences in the mean frequencies of internet use and knowledge (p < .05) and technology proficiency and knowledge (p < .05) were reported. The Pearson coefficient correlation test demonstrated that awareness was associated with knowledge (r = 0.350, p < .001), attitude (r = 0.660, p < .001), and years of technology use (r = −0.157, p = .025). Furthermore, attitude was significantly associated with knowledge (r = 0.295, p < .001) and years of technology use (r = −0.150, p = .032). In the regression, the awareness, knowledge, and attitude models were all significant (p < .05). ConclusionsThe study's findings emphasize the need for targeted interventions to enhance nursing students' technological proficiency and awareness of telenursing. The predictive relationships among awareness, knowledge, and attitude also emphasize the need for a comprehensive and integrated educational approach. Future qualitative research studies should explore nursing students' perceptions of telenursing and how this could lead to high-quality healthcare.

Ecological sustainability program in the development of environmental awareness of high school students

This study examined the attitudinal behavior of high school students who participated in an educational program to promote environmental awareness. The program was implemented with an intervention group, while a control group followed traditional teaching methods for comparison. The intervention group engaged in practical activities and community projects, enabling them to interact directly with social and environmental realities. The results indicated that although the control group demonstrated some level of environmental awareness, their commitment was not as strong as that of students who actively engaged with nature. The results suggest that the developed program has proven to be effective in improving both the didactic approach and the environmental commitment of the students.

Improved processing workflow and student transparency with student mistreatment reports leads to graduation questionnaire data gains

Mistreatment of students has been historically documented as common in U.S. medical schools, but graduate questionnaire (GQ) data from the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) displays high numbers of students who have experienced mistreatment but not reported the incident. There are many reasons within the literature as to why students do not report their experiences, including fear of academic repercussion or a misunderstanding of what constitutes as mistreatment. Our institution found through GQ data that there was a shortcoming in understanding policies and knowledge of procedures associated with mistreatment, and student focus group responses showed that many students were not confident that their reports would receive follow-up on the part of the institution. These factors led to the formation of a task force to investigate our school’s workflow once a report of concern for mistreatment is received and examine measures to increase transparency to the student body that their reports are acted upon. We took measures to place a greater emphasis on communication with students during the mistreatment report workflow, as well as releasing name-blinded data within our weekly student communication emails regarding reports that had been processed and resolved. The results after one year of these efforts saw our GQ percentile data jump from falling between the 10th to 25th percentile to the 90th percentile for student awareness of mistreatment policies and from between the 25th to 50th percentile to between the 75th to 90th percentile for student knowledge of mistreatment procedures. These jumps in GQ figures provide insight for policy changes that could benefit other institutions struggling with building a safe environment for students to confidently report incidents of mistreatment with knowledge that their concerns are important and acted upon.

Practices contributing to building sustainability: Investigating opinions of architecture students using partial least squares structural equation modeling

Owing to the significant contribution of the architecture profession towards a more sustainable built environment, architecture students need to possess sound knowledge of building sustainability. Identifying gaps in the sustainability understanding of these students is critical to recommend improvements in course curriculum. Even though sustainability related awareness of architecture students has been determined previously, the earlier studies have been limited in terms of their focus on individual institutions and their reliance on simplistic analysis approaches. Accordingly, this study investigates the viewpoint of architecture degree students regarding key sustainability practices in buildings. A questionnaire survey is conducted primarily among undergraduate students of architecture, across eight institutions in six countries, resulting in 203 responses. Survey responses indicate that students find ‘Energy’, ‘Passive and Biophilic’, and ‘Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ)’ practices highly relevant to building sustainability. For investigating relationship of various building practices with building sustainability, quantitative modelling is conducted using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM). Significant relationships are found between building sustainability and ‘building materials’, ‘health interventions', ‘energy’, ‘safety and security’ and ‘passive and biophilic’ constructs. This implies that for these building practices having significant relationships with sustainability, students have better understanding and clarity. However, for other building attributes, their understanding may be lacking and needs attention. Based on these findings, recommendations for the enhancement of architecture curriculum design are proposed. The study findings are expected to support the sustainability learning outcomes for architecture degree students and their agency to contribute to a more sustainable built environment.

The Knowledge and Attitude of Undergraduate Dental Students toward Dental Ergonomic Principles in Occupational Health.

Undergraduate dental curricula and courses containing ergonomic principles are introduced to students from the very beginning of dental education. Still, dentists present a high prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders, which are a direct burden on quality of life, leading to early retirement from the profession. This study aimed to assess the state of students' knowledge and awareness regarding the role of ergonomics in dentistry and its practical implementation. a cross-sectional study using a predesigned self-administered questionnaire was conducted among fourth- and fifth-year dental students of the Medical University of Silesia in Katowice, Poland (response rate of 69.2%). A total of 94.6% of students declared a good, fair, or moderate level of knowledge of the subject, with a significant difference in favor of the fifth-year students (p = 0.008). Moreover, 76.1% of respondents showed a good or very good attitude toward ergonomics as a university curriculum subject. A total of 72.3% of respondents declared that the practical application of ergonomic rules in clinical dentistry is very important (five in a five-point scale). Women found dental ergonomics more important than men (p < 0.001). However, 79.3% of participants admitted not following basic ergonomic principles during clinical procedures. The research revealed a discrepancy between theoretical knowledge and awareness and the practical application of ergonomics in a clinical environment. Only by inculcating correct occupational standards and abiding by them from the commencement of dental education can consistency between theory and practice be achieved. This will hopefully ensure the health and well-being of dental team members throughout their professional lives.

The effects of single education session on physiotherapy students' knowledge levels and thoughts on accreditation.

Ransomware attack awareness: analyzing college student awareness for effective defense

There are growing concerns about security as the usage of computers in academic settings continues to increase. This research aims to investigate the level of awareness among university students regarding security threats associated with ransomware. This study examines students' behaviour and preventive motivation for ransomware attacks, along with the measures taken to mitigate these security threats. The study model combines the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) and preventive motivation theory (PMT) with additional threat awareness (TA) variables. The research findings indicate a high level of awareness regarding the dangers. TA has a positive influence on other factors, as indicated by the significant t-values (perceived severity (PS)=4.479, perceived vulnerability (PV)=3.251, response efficacy (RE)=14.344, and self-efficacy (SE)=8.034). This research also demonstrates that subjective norm (SN) and affective responses (AR) have a key impact on behavioural intention (BI). Moreover, two of the preventive motivation factors, PS and PV, significantly contribute to BI, while the other two (RE and SE) did not show a significant contribution to BI.
