The question of what probability actually is has long been debated in philosophy and statistics. Although the concept of probability is fundamental to many applications in the health sciences, these debates are generally not well known to health professionals. This paper begins with an outline of some of the different interpretations of probability. Examples are provided of how each interpretation manifests in clinical practice. The discipline of genetic counselling (familial cancer) is used to ground the discussion. In the second part of the paper, some of the implications that different interpretations of probability may have in practice are examined. The main purpose of the paper is to draw attention to the fact that there is much contention as to the nature of the concept of probability. In practice, this creates the potential for ambiguity and confusion. This paper constitutes a call for deeper engagement with the ways in which probability and risk are understood in health research and practice.

Health professionals who engage in healthy lifestyle behaviors are more likely to promote their patients’ health. We evaluated health status, behaviors, and beliefs of students (future health professionals) and staff in four health sciences faculties, Kuwait University. In total, 600 students and 231 staff participated in this descriptive cross-sectional study. Questionnaire surveys were used to evaluate lifestyle-related practices and participants’ beliefs about these practices, in addition to health-related objective measures, e.g., heart rate, blood pressure, and body mass index. Overweight/obesity was prevalent among the participants (staff, 68.7%, students, 48.1%; p < 0.001); 57% of staff had suboptimal resting blood pressures. About half of the participants reported being moderately physically active (staff, 44.8%, students, 52.6%; p < 0.05), and most reported moderate/high stress (staff, 88.8%, students, 90.9%; p > 0.05). Only 25.1% of staff and 27.9% of students reported at least 8 h sleep nightly (p > 0.05). Staff reported healthier dietary practices than students (p-value range < 0.001–0.02). Overall, the participants had sub-optimal health indices. A marked gap existed between participants’ beliefs about healthy lifestyle practices and their actual health status. Healthy lifestyle programs are needed on campus with respect to diet, exercise, and stress management. As emerging health professionals, students in health sciences faculties, Kuwait University, need exposure to a health-promoting environment including healthy staff as role models.

Mastitis is an infection of the breast that generally occurs in conjunction with lactation which often occurs in nursing mothers. Blockage of the milk ducts and infection can cause mastitis. Mastitis will result in an increase in the nutritional needs of nursing mothers and disruption of the breastfeeding process so that it has an impact on the nutritional status of the baby. The purpose of writing is to provide a comprehensive description of nutritional care for mastitis mothers using the literature review method. From the study, it is known the importance of proper nutritional care for mothers with mastitis in the form of assessment, nutritional diagnosis, intervention, monitoring and evaluation as a continuous cycle to overcome mastitis problems in collaboration with the nutrition care team. The conclusion is that collaboration with other health professionals has started since the nutritional assessment was carried out, so that the management of mastitis cases can be more optimal. Abstrak Mastitis adalah infeksi pada payudara yang umumnya terjadi bersamaan dengan laktasi. Penyumbatan pada saluran ASI dan adanya infeksi dapat menimbulkan mastitis. Mastitis akan mengakibatkan meningkatkan kebutuhan gizi pada ibu menyusui dan terganggunya proses menyusui sehingga berdampak pada status gizi bayi. Asuhan gizi yang tepat pada ibu dengan mastitis dalam bentuk  pengkajian, diagnosis gizi, intervensi, monitoring dan evaluasi sebagai siklus yang terus menerus dapat mengatasi masalah mastitis dengan kolaborasi bersama tim asuhan gizi. Kolaborasi dengan profesi kesehatan lainnya telah dimulai sejak pengkajian gizi dilakukan, sehingga penatalaksanaan kasus mastitis dapat lebih komprehensif.

Simulation is a pedagogy that has been widely used in a number of educational settings (e.g., aviation, transport, social work, nursing education). While it can take numerous forms, it often involves an assortment of high-tech equipment (e.g., flight simulators, manikins) that seek to replicate real settings. Specifically, this paper provides an empirically driven exploration of how simulation laboratories, used in the professional education of nurses, and medical and other health professionals in higher education settings, are practised. Informed by sociomaterial understandings, the paper problematises and disrupts homogeneous understandings of the simulation space as found in much of the health sciences literature. This is done by providing a number of layers ranging from accounts of simulation in literature and empirically driven accounts of simulation in action through to more abstract discussion. The paper is attentive to both the distinct materiality of the spaces involved and the human activities the spaces engender. This dual focus enables the consideration of spatial injustices as well as new directions for the development of simulation pedagogies.

Background: With the mission of providing easy and accessible health services/facilities for the people of backward areas by producing qualified and skillful health professionals, Karnali Academy of Health Sciences (KAHS) has been established in 2011, by an Act of parliament of Nepal. In the way of fulfilling its mission, PCL nursing program (2014), PCL in General Medicine (2015), Bachelor in Public Health (2018) and Bachelor in Midwifery Sciences (2018) programs have already started successfully; and next goal of our Academy is to start MDGP and MBBS in near future. In this context of its academic progress, KAHS is developing an ideal MBBS curriculum by introducing the recent innovation in the field of medical education.   Method: This was the cross-sectional study conducting among 100 public, 50 medical students and 20 professors and faculties of TU, KU, PAHS and BPKIHS from June, 2018 to November, 2018. The data were collected with the help of three different set of semi-structured questionnaires. Moreover, we had gone through the MBBS curriculum of 10 Universities/Academy, and the data regarding the type of curricular strategies, credit hours and course contents of individual subject, academic calendar, schedule of community posting, and evaluation pattern were collect in the performa. The collected data were analyzed and presented in the tables. Result: Present study found that out of 100 participants, almost all of the participants felt the need of one medical college and a well facilitated hospital in Karnali Province, especially in Jumla, with the qualified, skillful, patient-friendly medical doctors as well as other health professionals. After interviewed with the professors and faculties of various universities, we found that the integrated, community based and student centered curriculum had better level of understanding than the discipline based, teacher-centered MBBS curriculum. Out of the four prevailing MBBS curricula (TU, KU, PAHS and BPKIHS) in Nepal, all curricula incorporated the horizontal integration approach in basic sciences with early pre-clinical exposure and community posting. In addition to this, integrated MBBS curriculum of PAHS was fully problem-based, and community based. Conclusion: Integrated, student-centered, community based, problem based as well as problem oriented innovative teaching-learning method outweigh the contemporary teacher-centered hospital-based learning in medical education. So, we would like to recommend the development of integrated MBBS curriculum based on the organ system for the proper implementation recent innovation of medical education.
