A Narrative Analysis of Identification of Skills Needed for Management Training Module Development

Practical training can positively impact the individual’s management skills and enhance the organization's performance. This study aimed to examine the management skills required by dietitians. Semi-structured face-to-face interviews comprising items emphasizing the skills required by the dietitians were conducted. The interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed, and analyzed using a thematic approach. Five (5) Heads of the Dietetics Department from four government hospitals and one private hospital in Malaysia participated in the study. A needs analysis was carried out to establish the experts’ opinions on the management skills required by dietitians. Three main themes evaluating the management skills required by dietitians were generated: (1) individual qualities, (2) working with others, and (3) managing services in the organization. Stress and time management, effective communication, dealing with difficult people, motivation, and teamwork, were suggested to produce better quality work. All respondents agreed to develop and implement management skills training among the dietitians. The findings provided the basis for developing a training module, mainly for dietitians who need to perform management tasks at the workplace. Management skills training promotes career development by enhancing morale and increasing productivity. It would also benefit higher education institutions to equip their dietetic students with these management skills to produce competent dietitians upon graduation.

Validation and Psychometric Properties of the Tobacco Urge Management Scale (TUMS).

During quit attempts, smokers must overcome smoking urges triggered by environmental cues and nicotine withdrawal symptoms. This study investigates the psychometric properties of the 12-item Tobacco Urge Management Scale (TUMS), a new measure of smoking urge management behaviors. We analyzed secondary data (n = 327) from a behavioral smoking cessation intervention trial, Kids Safe and Smokefree (KiSS). Confirmatory factor analysis of the TUMS indicated that a one-factor model and a correlated two-factor model had similar model fit indices, and a Chi-square difference test supported the one-factor model. Further study of the parsimonious one-factor scale provided evidence of reliability and construct validity. Known group validity was evidenced by significantly higher TUMS scores in the KiSS intervention arm receiving urge management skills training than in the control arm (p < 0.001). Concurrent validity was evidenced by TUMS's inverse association with cigarettes smoked per day and positive associations with nonsmoking days, 7-day abstinence, and self-efficacy to control smoking behaviors (p's < 0.05). The TUMS is a reliable, valid measure of smoking urge management behaviors. The measure can support theory-driven research on smoking-specific coping mechanisms, inform clinical practice by identifying coping strategies that might be under-utilized in treatment-seeking smokers, and function as a measure of treatment adherence in cessation trials that target urge management behaviors.

The PhotoVoice method for collaborating with people with lived experience of mental health conditions to strengthen mental health services.

There is a growing recognition of the benefits of collaborating with people with lived experience (PWLE) of mental health conditions in mental health research and implementation of services. Such collaboration has been effective in reducing mental health stigma and improving the quality of mental health care. Here, we describe using PhotoVoice as a collaborative method in which PWLE use visual narratives to tell their recovery stories for promoting social contact, debunking myths and reducing stigma. First, we outline the framework of this collaboration, drawing on theories from medical anthropology and social psychology and focusing on reducing mental health stigma among primary healthcare workers. Then, we describe the process using our learnings from implementing PhotoVoice in Nepal, Ethiopia and Uganda. We highlight collaboration in five key steps with associated considerations: (1) identifying PWLE for collaboration; (2) training in photography, distress management and presentation skills; (3) developing a photographic recovery story; (4) training healthcare workers using the PhotoVoice narratives; and (5) ongoing support of mental health systems strengthening in collaboration with PWLE. Then, we critically reflect on the process, highlighting the benefits and challenges to the participants and researchers, thereby paving the way for expanding collaborations with PWLE using the PhotoVoice method.

Risk of Suicide and Severity of Depression in Patients with Severe Mental Disorders Receiving Home Care Along with Psychological Training, Anger Management, and Life Skills Training Versus Usual Clinical Care

Background: Severe mental disorders impose a significant burden of illness directly on the patient and their caregivers. In this study, the prevalence of suicidal ideation and the severity of depression in patients who received home care were evaluated in comparison with other patients who experienced usual outpatient care. Methods: The study design was cross-sectional and the sample was assigned in two groups. Structured scale and inventory were used to evaluate the prevalence of suicidal thoughts and severity of depression among the patients. Beck Depression Inventoryand Ideation for Suicide Beck Scale were utilized for this evaluation. The study was conducted from June 2019 to June 2020. Results: The total number of participants in the study was 71 patients. The results of multivariate analysis showed that the observed difference between the two groups in all components and in the total score of Beck Suicide Scale and Beck Depression Scale was statistically significant. Regarding Ideation for Suicide Beck Scale, the mean in the home visit group was 0.94 (standard deviation (SD)= 4.24) and in the Treatment as Usual (TAU) group was 3.83(SD =5.44) (p-value=0.016). Regarding Beck Depression Scale, the mean in the home visit group was 6.14(SD= 7.75) and in the TAU group was 11.17(SD= 9.18) (p-value=0.015). Conclusion: It seems that home care for patients with severe mental disorders may be more effective than outpatient care in reducing suicidal ideation and severe depression. The use of longitudinal and multicenter studies with larger sample sizes can be effective in assessing the impact of home care on improving indicators of suicidal ideation and severity of depression.

Study on Effective Communication Skills for Good Cancer Care

Even though communication is a key clinical skill in oncology, few physicians and cancer nurses have conventional formal training in this area. Inadequate communications may be upsetting for a patient or family since they frequently need much more information than is often delivered. Many clients leave consultations with questions regarding their diagnosis and prognosis, the value of more tests, and whether or not they are necessary for the management framework or the therapy's underlying therapeutic purpose. Furthermore, communication issues may prevent patients from enrolling in clinical trials, resulting in the delay of useful new treatments in clinics. Inadequate communication between experts or departments may lead to misunderstandings and a loss of trust among team members. Lack of communication and management skills training, according to oncologists, is a big role in their stress, work satisfaction, and emotional tiredness. As a result, many efforts aiming at strengthening cancer healthcare personnel's fundamental effective communication have been launched in recent years. Some of the problems that affect communications in an oncology context, and hence patient care, are discussed in this study. The fundamental conclusion of this research is that communication is beneficial in the treatment of any condition. In this paper, the author provides a comprehensive study on effective communication skills for good cancer care. Further research on the effectiveness of the Contraction Stress Test (CST) in improving healthcare professional communication should focus on improving patient outcomes rather than healthcare workers' views of their abilities.

Effect of Offering Care Management or Online Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills Training vs Usual Care on Self-harm Among Adult Outpatients With Suicidal Ideation

People at risk of self-harm or suicidal behavior can be accurately identified, but effective prevention will require effective scalable interventions. To compare 2 low-intensity outreach programs with usual care for prevention of suicidal behavior among outpatients who report recent frequent suicidal thoughts. Pragmatic randomized clinical trial including outpatients reporting frequent suicidal thoughts identified using routine Patient Health Questionnaire depression screening at 4 US integrated health systems. A total of 18 882 patients were randomized between March 2015 and September 2018, and ascertainment of outcomes continued through March 2020. Patients were randomized to a care management intervention (n = 6230) that included systematic outreach and care, a skills training intervention (n = 6227) that introduced 4 dialectical behavior therapy skills (mindfulness, mindfulness of current emotion, opposite action, and paced breathing), or usual care (n = 6187). Interventions, lasting up to 12 months, were delivered primarily through electronic health record online messaging and were intended to supplement ongoing mental health care. The primary outcome was time to first nonfatal or fatal self-harm. Nonfatal self-harm was ascertained from health system records, and fatal self-harm was ascertained from state mortality data. Secondary outcomes included more severe self-harm (leading to death or hospitalization) and a broader definition of self-harm (selected injuries and poisonings not originally coded as self-harm). A total of 18 644 patients (9009 [48%] aged 45 years or older; 12 543 [67%] female; 9222 [50%] from mental health specialty clinics and the remainder from primary care) contributed at least 1 day of follow-up data and were included in analyses. Thirty-one percent of participants offered care management and 39% offered skills training actively engaged in intervention programs. A total of 540 participants had a self-harm event (including 45 deaths attributed to self-harm and 495 nonfatal self-harm events) over 18 months following randomization: 172 (3.27%) in care management, 206 (3.92%) in skills training, and 162 (3.27%) in usual care. Risk of fatal or nonfatal self-harm over 18 months did not differ significantly between the care management and usual care groups (hazard ratio [HR], 1.07; 97.5% CI, 0.84-1.37) but was significantly higher in the skills training group than in usual care (HR, 1.29; 97.5% CI, 1.02-1.64). For severe self-harm, care management vs usual care had an HR of 1.03 (97.5% CI, 0.71-1.51); skills training vs usual care had an HR of 1.34 (97.5% CI, 0.94-1.91). For the broader self-harm definition, care management vs usual care had an HR of 1.10 (97.5% CI, 0.92-1.33); skills training vs usual care had an HR of 1.17 (97.5% CI, 0.97-1.41). Among adult outpatients with frequent suicidal ideation, offering care management did not significantly reduce risk of self-harm, and offering brief dialectical behavior therapy skills training significantly increased risk of self-harm, compared with usual care. These findings do not support implementation of the programs tested in this study. ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02326883.

Final-year medical students\u2019 self-assessment of facets of competence for beginning residents

BackgroundFinal-year undergraduate medical students often do not feel well prepared for their start of residency training. Self-assessment of competences is important so that medical trainees can take responsibility for their learning. In this study, we investigated how final-year medical students self-assessed their competences as they neared their transition to postgraduate training. The aim was to identify areas for improvement in undergraduate training.MethodsIn the academic year 2019/2020, a national online survey was sent to final-year undergraduate medical students via their respective medical schools. The survey included ten facets of competence (FOC) most relevant for beginning residents. The participants were asked to self-assess their competence for each FOC on a 5-point Likert scale (1: strongly disagree to 5: strongly agree). We established an order of self-assessed FOC performance by means and calculated paired t-tests. Gender differences were assessed with independent t-tests.ResultsA total of 1083 students from 35 medical schools completed the questionnaire. Mean age was 27.2 ± 3.1 years and 65.8% were female. Students rated their performance highest in the FOCs ‘Teamwork and collegiality’ and ‘Empathy and openness’ (97.1 and 95.0% ‘strongly agree’ or ‘agree’, respectively) and lowest in ‘Verbal communication with colleagues and supervisors’ and ‘Scientifically and empirically grounded method of working’ (22.8 and 40.2% ‘strongly disagree’, ‘disagree’, or ‘neither agree nor disagree’, respectively). Women rated their performance of ‘Teamwork and collegiality’, ‘Empathy and openness’, and ‘Knowing and maintaining own personal bounds and possibilities’ significantly higher than men did (Cohen’s d > .2), while men showed higher self-assessed performance in ‘Scientifically and empirically grounded method of working’ than women (Cohen’s d = .38). The FOCs ‘Responsibility’, ‘Knowing and maintaining own personal bounds and possibilities’, ‘Structure, work planning, and priorities’, ‘Coping with mistakes’, and ‘Scientifically and empirically grounded method of working’ revealed lower self-assessed performance than the order of FOC relevance established by physicians for beginning residents.ConclusionsThe differences between the level of students’ self-assessed FOC performance and physicians’ ranking of FOC relevance revealed areas for improvement in undergraduate medical education related to health system sciences. Final-year students might benefit from additional or better training in management skills, professionalism, and evidence-based medicine. Surveys of self-assessed competences may be useful to monitor competence development during undergraduate training.

Motivational Strategies of Teachers in Relation To Learners’ Academic Performance

Motivating learners is one of the most critical and challenging parts of teaching. As such, they differ in how they motivate students and their motivational strategies. This quantitative inquiry determined the motivational strategies of teachers and students’ academic performance according to age, civil status, teaching experience, highest educational attainment, and average monthly income. To answer the descriptive and inferential questions, a researcher-made questionnaire was utilized. It was revealed that the level of motivational strategies of teachers in the areas of (1) introduction of the lesson, (2) discussion of the lesson, and (3) assessment of lesson we're all on a high level. However, the results indicated that the respondents least prefer helping learners prepare for the discussion using a pre-formed questionnaire, informal classroom debates, and a strategy that allows learners to assess their peers and classmates' writing abilities and comprehension skills. Consequently, the level of learners’ academic performance was very satisfactory. Likewise, no significant differences in the level of teachers’ motivational strategies in the first and second areas when grouped according to age, civil status, teaching experience, and highest educational attainment. Additionally, no significant difference showed when teachers were grouped according to average monthly income in the first and third areas. It can conclude that most teachers are proceeding directly to lesson discussion and skipping the introduction to maximize class hours. Also, teachers have different motivational strategy preferences in engaging their learners. Likewise, they have a different mindset in motivating the lesson. As such, different strategies will positively influence academic performance. It is recommended that teachers be regularly subjected to seminars and training in pedagogical and instructional methods and other classroom management skill training to improve teaching practices and to help improve students’ academic performance.
