The Impact

Summary In 2001 Algerian Governmental created Sport High School (HSA). Its main mission is education, training and development of young talents by providing all the conditions to serve their healthy sports path. Firstly, by intensifying their daily sports as school-based health education program designed to improve their physical status relates to their healthy lifestyle. Disclosed by evaluation tool design to detect their physical abilities as well as their longitudinal followings. Used in present as evaluation scale to inspect imprudence related to the objectives of Algerian public schools (HPA). For proposing this comparative study test 1 000 High School student, 800 boys and 200 girls for academic years 2017 – 2018. The evaluation focused on measuring anthropometric parameters - age, weight, height and BMI as well as physical qualities - speed (30 m), the explosive force vertical (VJ), explosive force of the arms (medicine ball throw 3 kg (MB), flexibility trunk (FT)), endurance abdominal muscles (maximum of <4 sit-ups > in one minute (EAM) and aerobic endurance (20m shuttle test (VO2max)). Controlled by rating scales produced by Iaiche Rezoug. Based on the scale provided by this latter, our results proclaims the generalization of perspectives implemented in Algerian Sport High School as school-based physical health education program designed to reduce the consequences of overweight on health-related to physical performance. Estimated by rating scales produced by Iaiche Rezoug, which could serve as a model database refining the impact of the two Algerian educational systems, as an approach suggesting a clear direction for the development of adequate programs for the larger populations of Algerian scholars.

Student Facilitation

<p><strong>ABSTRACT</strong></p><p><strong>Background:</strong> Health Canada relies on health professionals to voluntarily report adverse reactions to the Canada Vigilance Program. Current rates of reporting adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are inadequate to detect important safety issues.</p><p><strong>Objective:</strong> To assess the impact of pharmacy student facilitation of ADR reporting by pharmacists at a tertiary care teaching hospital in Canada. Methods: The intervention of interest, implemented at one campus of the hospital, was facilitation of ADR reporting by pharmacy students. The students received training on how to submit ADR reports and presented information sessions on the topic to hospital pharmacists; the pharmacists were then encouraged to report ADRs to a designated student for formal reporting. Frequency of reporting by pharmacists at the intervention campus was compared with reporting at a control campus of the same hospital. Data were collected prospectively over a 6-month pilot period, starting in April 2015.</p><p><strong>Results:</strong> During the pilot period, 27 ADR reports were submitted at the intervention campus, and 3 reports at the control campus. All student participants strongly agreed that they would recommend that responsibility for submitting ADR reports to the Canada Vigilance Program remain with pharmacy students during future rotations.</p><p><strong>Conclusions:</strong> Availability of a pharmacy student to facilitate reporting of ADRs may increase the frequency of ADR reporting and could alleviate pharmacist workload; this activity is also a potentially valuable learning experience for students.</p><p><strong>RÉSUMÉ</strong></p><p><strong>Contexte :</strong> Santé Canada compte sur les professionnels de la santé pour signaler sur une base volontaire les réactions indésirables au programme Canada Vigilance. Les taux actuels de déclaration des réactions indésirables aux médicaments (RIM) ne permettent pas de repérer les problèmes de sécurité importants.</p><p><strong>Objectif :</strong> Évaluer l’effet d’une intervention permettant aux étudiants en pharmacie de faciliter la déclaration des RIM par les pharmaciens dans un hôpital universitaire de soins tertiaires au Canada.</p><p><strong>Méthodes :</strong> L’intervention en question, mise en place dans l’un des établissements de l’hôpital, se résumait à permettre aux étudiants en pharmacie de faciliter la déclaration de RIM. Les étudiants étaient formés pour soumettre des déclarations de RIM et ont présenté des séances d’information sur le sujet aux pharmaciens d’hôpitaux; ces derniers étaient ensuite encouragés à signaler les RIM à un étudiant désigné qui procédait alors à une déclaration formelle. La fréquence de déclaration par les pharmaciens à l’établissement où l’intervention était mise en place a été comparée à celle d’un établissement témoin du même hôpital. Les données ont été recueillies de façon prospective sur une période de six mois pour l’étude pilote qui a commencé en avril 2015.</p><p><strong>Résultats :</strong> Pendant l’étude pilote, on a procédé à 27 déclarations de RIM à l’établissement où a eu place l’intervention alors que, dans l’établissement témoin, on en a signalé que trois. L’ensemble des étudiants ayant participé étaient tout à fait d’accord pour que la responsabilité de produire des déclarations de RIM au programme Canada Vigilance demeure une tâche pour les étudiants en pharmacie au cours de stages futurs.</p><p><strong>Conclusions :</strong> La mise à contribution d’un étudiant en pharmacie pourrait accroître la fréquence de déclaration des RIM et pourrait réduire la charge de travail du pharmacien. De plus, cette tâche peut représenter une expérience d’apprentissage précieuse pour les étudiants.</p>

Objective— To evaluate the impact of a high school education program to promote organ donation awareness. The primary outcomes were intention to discuss organ donation with family or friends and actual discussion behavior. Design— Longitudinal, observational study. Methods— 665 high school students filled out evaluations at the beginning and at the end of a 1-hour education program. One month later, the students were asked to report whether they had discussed donation. Results— After the program, knowledge and attitude scores and the proportion of students who intended to discuss donation increased ( P < .05). At 1-month follow-up, 48% of students reported actual discussion. Intention has a strong, positive relationship with discussion behavior (odds ratio, 8.27; 95% CI, 3.18–21.51). Ethnicity, sex, and attitude of the students were also predictors of donation discussion behavior. Conclusions— This program appears to be effective in prompting discussion of organ donation among high school students.
