Vaccine hesitancy is an increasing and urgent global public health challenge. Medical students’ encounters with vaccine-hesitant parents, however, remain incidental and unexplored. During pre-clinical training, the vaccine-hesitant parents are typically represented through impersonal text-based cases, lists of their concerns, and sometimes a virtual patient. However, in reality, vaccine-hesitant parents have many health beliefs and arguments that are accompanied with intense emotions, and students remain unaware and unprepared for them. This study is an experimental pilot test in stimulating the medical students’ understanding of, and ability to respond to, vaccine-hesitant parents’ beliefs and questions. An arts-based video scenario and a writing exercise are used to demonstrate a rich case of vaccine hesitancy, including a simulated dialogue between a parent and a student. The study invites vaccine-hesitant parents to ask questions to medical students, then it incorporates these questions in a video scenario and subsequently invites the students to answer these questions as junior doctors. The study examines how the peer group discussion after the video viewing resembles a hospital breakroom conversation and how the written dialogue with a vaccine-hesitant parent simulates a consultation-room encounter.

Latar Belakang : Salah satu penyebab peningkatan obesitas di kalangan remaja perkotaan adalah adanya peningkatan frekuensi konsumsi makanan cepat saji. Hal ini dikarenakan makanan cepat saji bersifat cepat, mudah, dan menarik untuk remaja serta faktor kenyamanan yang mendukung. Remaja yang mengkonsumsi makanan cepat saji akan mengkonsumsi energi, lemak, dan gula secara berlebihan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui apakah terdapat hubungan pengetahuan, uang saku, dan peer group serta promosi dan motivasi dengan frekuensi konsumsi makanan cepat saji pada siswi di SMA Theresiana 1 Semarang. Metode : Studi cross sectional pada 95 siswi kelas X dan XI di SMA Theresiana 1  Semarang. Subjek diambil dengan metode consecutive sampling yang memenuhi kriteria inklusi. Data frekuensi konsumsi makanan cepat saji, pengetahuan, uang saku, dan peer group diperoleh dari pengisian kuisoner, sedangkan data motivasi dan promosi diperoleh dengan FGD (focus group discussion). Data kebiasaan makan sehari-hari diperoleh melalui FFQ (food frequency questionnaire). Uji normalitas menggunakan Kolmogorof-Smirnov. Data berdistribusi tidak normal pengujian menggunakan korelasi Rank spearman. Hasil : Frekuensi konsumsi makanan cepat saji subjek sebagian besar termasuk jarang (1-2x seminggu) yaitu 83,2%. Terdapat korelasi positif antara frekuensi konsumsi makanan cepat saji dengan uang saku (r = 0,279; p = 0,006). Tidak ditemukan korelasi antara frekuensi konsumsi makanan cepat saji dengan pengetahuan (r = 0,066; p = 0,527), dan frekuensi konsumsi makanan cepat saji dengan peer group (r = -0,005; p = 0,958). Informasi mengenai makanan cepat saji sebagian besar subjek dapatkan melalui iklan televisi. Sebagian besar subjek mengkonsumsi makanan cepat saji karena faktor praktis dan ingin mencoba rasanya. Kesimpulan : Terdapat hubungan bermakna antara frekuensi konsumsi makanan cepat saji dengan jumlah uang saku (p=0,006).

Background: Perinatal depression (PND) is one of the most common psychiatric illnesses in women, with a prevalence around 22% in India. Leveraging mobile-based technologies could help in the prevention and treatment of perinatal depression even in remote places. Understanding the experiences and barriers of using such technology interventions by perinatal mothers could help in the better design and in delivery of these interventions. We aimed to study the experiences of the perinatal women using a mobile phone-based intervention, Interactive Voice Response System (IVRS), for the prevention and management of perinatal depression in a rural district of Bihar, India. Materials and methods: A total of 12 in-depth interviews (IDIs) and one focus group discussion (FGD) with eight participants were conducted with perinatal mothers using the mobile-based IVRS to explore the experiences and perspectives of women receiving mobile phone-based interventions for the treatment of PND. Thematic analysis was done to identify major themes. Results: Five major themes emerged from the study around accessibility, usability, community participation, cost and preference to either intervention. Women found the mobile-based intervention useful as it made them feel lighter. They considered mental health as a health issue and wanted help to address their problems. They became familiar with terms like anxiety, depression, helplessness and burden and bean using them in their conversations. The patients used therapeutic strategies such as breathing, coping and relaxation. They even agreed to take up sessions for their peer group. Conclusion: Women in rural Bihar seemed satisfied with the technology-based intervention. It has made mental health issues more visible and acceptable even in the rural hinterlands of Bihar.

<span>This paper reports an application of multimedia in a blended learning environment in which students engaged in multimodal presentations and peer group discussion. Students' presentation files were commented upon by their peers on the discussion board and scored by the researcher, based on questions developed by Levy and Kimber (2009) to apply criteria of design, content and cohesion in analysis of multimodal texts. After the discussion phase, students revised their files and answered a questionnaire about their perception of the value of this practice for language learning. Regarding the production of presentation files, most aspects of the title slide and overall slide designs were performed well, except for a lack of dynamic effects and inadequate consideration of the visual perception of the audience. Peer group discussion and the scoring can assist the students in inspiring their creativity and modification of the designs of their presentations. In contrast, other aspects such as language use were not improved, probably due to the limited language proficiency of the students or their unawareness of the need for further improvement. The questionnaire results indicate that students appreciated peer group discussions and understood that they might need increased skills to use the presentation software in a more sophisticated way.</span>

Limited health literacy is one of the causes of late detection related to danger signs in pregnancy, postpartum and newborns. Health cadres are one of the main resources for early detection and dissemination of health information in the community. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of the peer group discussion method in increasing the knowledge of health cadres about danger signs in pregnancy, postpartum and new-borns (maternal periods). This research was Quasi-experimental study with a pre-test and post-test design. The stages of intervention in this study included training on danger signs with the lecture method followed by small group discussions (5-6 people) for 30 minutes, and practicing early warning signs detection. Questionnaires were given before and after training. The population in the study were all health cadres at Penanjung Health Center, while the sample was 32 health cadres from the health post (POSYANDU) Sari Asih. The Wilcoxon test was used to determine whether there was a difference in knowledge before and after training. The results showed the midpoint of the pregnancy danger signs before intervention 66.7 and after the intervention was 100. Middle value of postpartum danger signs knowledge before intervention 70 and after intervention 100. Midpoint knowledge of danger signs in newborns before intervention 75 and after intervention 100.  The results of the bivariate analysis of the Wilcoxon Test before and after the intervention showed a p-value of 0,000 which means that there were significant differences before and after the intervention related to the danger signs in the maternal periods. Training on health cadres with this method increases cadres’ knowledge about danger signs in pregnancy, postpartum and newborns.Keywords: Danger sign, health care, newborns, postpartum, pregnancy, training

This article reports on a case study of negotiation that occurred in peer group oral interactions under assessment conditions. Discourse analysis was used to illustrate how participants negotiated and co-constructed the assessment format itself as well as meaning exchange sequences. Analyses of the data point to the advantage of using peer group discussion task in generating the interaction patterns representative of natural conversational situations. By concentrating on the situated dynamics and process of peer group functioning, this study also demonstrates the importance of peer learning opportunities that resulted from collaborative reasoning under assessment conditions, which have typically been ignored in the conventional testing paradigm. Implications of these findings over validity issues in oral language assessment are discussed.

OBJECTIVE: To describe the research methodology used in development and validation of a scientific patient classification instrument for South African critical care patients. METHOD: This is a contextual, exploratory, and descriptive study. A two-phase validating model was used as a research method. In the development phase a literature review was carried out (domain identification), a provisional instrument developed (item generation), and a peer group discussion conducted (item formation). In the quantification phase 16 experts determined if both the items of the instrument and the entire instrument were content valid. The study was conducted within the framework of South African critical care nursing. RESULTS: In the peer group discussion the instrument was debated until consensus was reached. In the quantification phase, both the items of the instrument and the entire instrument were rated as content valid. CONCLUSIONS: Established patient classification systems can be successfully adapted and validated for local use.
