Aim and MethodRu-ok.com is a recently developed website that includes a self-assessment questionnaire. The aim of this study was to evaluate the website and compare the self-assessment questionnaire with established screening questionnaires. A total of 105 teenagers from schools completed three paper-based questionnaires and the online ru-ok.com questionnaire.ResultsThe website receives 730 visits a week. Visits to the advice section and stories about mental health and relationships account for 35% of activity. Of the returned questionnaires, 80% were positive about the website. There were modest and expected correlations between the website questionnaire (RU–OK) and the Mood and Feelings (MFQ) and Strength and Difficulties (SDQ) questionnaires.Clinical ImplicationsInternet-based self-assessment is feasible and acceptable to teenagers. Self-assessment of perceived need by teenagers may be a useful tool for tier one professionals, including teachers, general practitioners, school nurses, social workers and learning mentors.

Abstract Background Medical education in China is in a transitional period changing from passive learning to experiential education models. We have modified an experiential education method for radiology education. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of this method on undergraduate radiology education. Methods With the help of the picture archiving and communication system (PACS) and RadiAnt DICOM Viewer, we have modified an experiential education method that simulates similar working conditions for undergraduate medical students to take on the role as clinical radiologists and formulate radiology diagnosis. A total of 101 students were allocated into either the experiential education group [Office1] or the control group. The final examination scores and a 5-point Likert scale self-assessment questionnaire of radiologic skills were collected from all the students as an objective assessment and a subjective assessment respectively. A questionnaire was also used to assess the satisfaction with the experiential model in the experiential education group. Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare the ranked data, and t -tests were used to compare the numeric data. Results The experiential education group demonstrated significantly higher scores (7.4±1.3) in the short answer type questions on imaging “description and diagnosis” when compared to the control group (6.7±1.5, p <0.05). The self-assessment questionnaire indicated that the experiential education corresponded to an increased familiarity with the diagnostic principles, the imaging sequences and reconstruction methods of computer tomography (CT), which also strengthen participants’ confidence to perform future clinical work (p <0.05). The self-assessment questionnaire from the experiential education group showed great satisfaction with the organization (82.5%), interactivity (85%) and quality (85%) of the learning activity in majority of students. Most students found this model of learning to be helpful for studying radiology (85%) and for understanding anatomy (90%). Conclusion Compared with the traditional radiology education approach, the experiential education model showed greater efficacy in improving students’ analytical and diagnostic skills as well as clinical confidence.

Abstract Background This study explores healthcare managers’ perspective of integration of CAM service into Ledzorkuku Krowor Municipal (LEKMA) Hospital in Ghana. Methods A questionnaire on CAM services integration was constructed and distributed to all 9 healthcare managers at the Ledzorkuku Krowor Municipal (LEKMA) Hospital.Results The level of integration of CAM services into the health care system was good. The overall self-reported depth of integration was found to be good (2.23), the self-reported extent of was 100% and perceived scope of integration was classified as excellent (90.1%). The drivers of integration process were made up of 7 (19.1%) of the elements of integration functions (47) assessed. Conclusion The drivers of integration were mainly the elements of integration functions of patient satisfaction, right of patients to use other services, interpersonal systems, monitoring and supervision systems, nature of working relationship among staff, reporting, and financial management.

Objective: We aimed to evaluate patient satisfaction after surgery for both single and two adjacent neuromas. Methods: We reviewed the data of patients treated operatively for interdigital neuromas between 2003 and 2016. We interviewed them and administered the Self-Reported Foot and Ankle Score questionnaire. Patient scores were then analyzed categorically, and variation between groups was assessed. Results: Sixty-two patients were available for review. Thirty-one patients had a single interdigital neuroma excised and 31 had two adjacente interdigital neuromas excised. Twenty-eight of the 31 (90%) patients with a single neuroma had good or excellent results while 23 (74.2%) of those with adjacent neuromas had similar outcomes. One patient with a single neuroma had a poor result while four patients with adjacent neuromas had poor results. The mean score was 41 (excellent) for patients with a single interdigital neuroma and 37 (good) for those with adjacent neuromas (p=0.473). The majority of patients in both groups would undergo surgery again. Conclusion: We found no statistically significant difference in outcomes of patients who undergo surgery for either single or two adjacent interdigital neuromas. General patient satisfaction is good and/or excellent post excision. Level of Evidence II; Prognostic Studies; Retrospective Study.

BACKGROUND In the conventional method, the blood pressure values of pregnant women were measured by nurses in the obstetrics outpatient clinics, and then were entered into the computer system. The pregnant women should wait for long time to complete this process. We hypothesized that the self-service blood pressure measurement by pregnant women could be a better option rather than measuring the blood pressure by nurses. OBJECTIVE To investigate the influence of self-service blood pressure measurement on pregnant women in the obstetrics outpatient clinics on the waiting time, patient satisfaction, and outpatient volume by comparing with the conventional blood pressure measurement method. METHODS The waiting time and satisfaction degree of pregnant women, as well as the outpatient volume in the Obstetrics Outpatient Clinic were compared on the use of self-service blood pressure measurement system with the conventional method. A total of 519 pregnant women in the obstetrics outpatient clinics participated in the satisfaction survey. The sample means were compared with t-test. RESULTS After using the self-service blood pressure measurement system, the waiting time of pregnant women for blood pressure measurement was significantly reduced from (18.57±9.68) min to (2.39±1.96) min (P<0.001). In addition, the satisfaction degree of pregnant women was significantly increased (P<0.001), and the monthly outpatient volume was significantly increased (P=0.02,P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS The self-service blood pressure measurement has significantly reduced the waiting time, increased the patient satisfaction and the outpatient volume. Therefore, this method is worth to be popularized in clinical practices.
