Resuscitation Team

Pharmacist involvement on the cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) team is associated with lower mortality rates. Despite this finding, pharmacists respond to cardiopulmonary emergencies in only 32% of institutions. The objective of this study was to determine the responsibilities and training of pharmacists as CPR team members and to assess their attitudes toward this role. A total of 1290 adult, acute-care hospitals were randomly surveyed nationwide. A total of 1108 questionnaires were received from 40% (517/1290) of institutions surveyed. Thirty-seven percent (189/517) of the institutions indicated that pharmacists participate on their CPR teams. Pharmacists' responsibilities at cardiopulmonary emergencies included recording medications administered (73.7%), medication preparation (96.6%), providing drug information (97.7%), and calculating doses (98.2%). The most common training methods were BLS certification (79%), the buddy system (59.4%), and continuing education programs (53.6%). Training methods that positively affected perceived qualification in the primary responsibilities were BLS/ACLS certification (P < 0.001) and training programs provided by the institution (P < 0.05). Positive attitudes toward participation on the CPR team were associated with the following factors: years of experience, BLS/ACLS certification, and the pharmacist's perception that he or she was adequately trained (P < 0.001). The results indicate that CPR team pharmacists should be proficient in providing drug information, preparing medications, recording medications administered, and calculating doses. Furthermore, because adequate training positively influenced pharmacists' attitudes toward participation and their perceived qualifications, we recommend that all pharmacists on CPR teams be required to obtain BLS/ACLS certification and participate in educational programs provided by their institution.

The science of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is now well established and incorporated into training programs to maximise patient survival. There is an increased understanding that non-technical skills such as teamwork and leadership can play a vital role in improving CPR quality, patient outcomes and clinician occupational health. Despite this, these non-technical skills remain somewhat neglected in the context of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. With reference to the literature this commentary provides a discussion to reinforce the need for a greater focus to this area of practice and build a case for further research and training.

The purpose of this study was to determine the level of influence of the implementation of existing education and training programs on the work productivity of civil servants. Based on the results of data processing, it is known that the elements of the implementation of education and training programs that must be considered and improved are as follows: Training Materials, Non-Formal Education, Training Schedules, Instructor Hospitality, Training Variations, Training Methods, and Training Guidebooks. While the elements of implementing education and training programs that must be maintained are as follows: Formal Education, Instructor Skills, Instructor Ability, Training Infrastructure Facilities, Training Curriculum, Training Evaluation. The implementation of education and training programs affects the work productivity of civil servants and the effect of the implementation of training programs is more dominant, this is so because the implementation of training programs is more often done and more applicable even though it still seems theoretical in the work of civil servants. Therefore an appropriate education and training program will have an impact on increasing the productivity of its employees.

Adequate Data

A major problem in training device design is specifying the appropriate level of fidelity and required instructional features for learning. This research effort was designed to acquire detailed information about tasks and training device fidelity features. The standard method for developing information about task and fidelity relationships has been to conduct research into training methods using varying degrees of fidelity, or to extrapolate from evaluations of training programs based on newly developed training devices. The rotary-wing operations domain was selected as the basis for gathering detailed relationship data. A Training Device Fidelity analysis was conducted on many of the devices at the Army Aviation School at Ft. Rucker. A survey was then developed that crossed the tasks being trained on the AH-64 CWEPT (Cockpit, Weapons, and Emergency Procedures Trainer) and the UH-1 CPT (Cockpit Procedures Trainer) with the device characteristics present on those training devices. The survey was administered to instructors using the training devices. The survey responses were categorized, and the consensus results are being used in developing expert system rules. The conclusion drawn is that adequate data can be collected using surveys to generate experience-based (versus opinion-based or device evaluation-based) rules for determining necessary and sufficient fidelity aspects for training devices. The method can be used in any training domain that requires training devices, where guidance is inferential and opinion-based, and where those devices are costly and/or need to be very effective.

Swimming coaches have prescribed dry-land training programs over the years to improve the overall swimming performance (starts, clean swimming, turns and finish). The main aim of the present systematic review was to examine the effects of dry-land strength and conditioning programs on swimming turns. Four online databases were scrutinised, data were extracted using the Preferred PRISMA guidelines and the PEDro scale was applied. A total of 1259 articles were retrieved from database searches. From the 19 studies which were full-text evaluated, six studies were included in the review process. The review indicated that plyometric, strength, ballistic and core training programs were implemented for improving swimming turn performance. Strength, ballistic and plyometric training focusing on neural enhancement seem to be effective for improving swimming turn performance. The data related to training of the core were not conclusive. Coaches should consider incorporating exercises focusing on improving the neuromuscular factor of the leg-extensor muscles into their daily dry-land training programs. More researches are needed to provide a better understanding of the training methods effects and training organisations for improving swimming turn performance.

Shaping and cultivating positive attitudes toward people with disabilities is an important task for all programs that prepare future rehabilitation practitioners. So too, is identifying potentially problematic attitudes or biases about ability status. With the growth of undergraduate rehabilitation programs, it is imperative for educators to understand the factors that may influence students’ biases about people with differing ability status. Many training programs address explicit biases (e.g., those measured via self report), but overlook the influence and existence of implicit biases among students. Furthermore, many trainings focus on stimulating awareness of potential bias, rather than diving into causes and impacts. In order to develop effective curricula for mitigating bias and training infused with social justice, it is critical to understand this phenomena. Using a quantiative design, the current study examines explicit and implicit biases of students in undergraduate rehabilitation programs at three institutions across the United States. Results support that explicit and implicit biases are two separate constructs and should be treated as such (i.e., educational activities about bias are not sufficient). In addition, the results were indicative of the importance of addressing biases as multidimensional, and the potential utility of contact experiences as a factor for mitigating bias.

A survey study examined the attitudes of interdisciplinary team members toward public school speech-language programs. Perceptions of clinicians' communication skills and of the clarity of team member roles were also explored. Relationships between educators' attitudes toward our services and various variables relating to professional interactions were investigated. A 64-item questionnaire was completed by 346 randomly selected respondents from a two-state area. Classroom teachers of grades kindergarten through 3, teachers of grades 4 through 6, elementary school principals, school psychologists, and learning disabilities teachers comprised five professional categories which were sampled randomly. Analysis of the results revealed that educators generally had positive attitudes toward our services; however, there was some confusion regarding team member roles and clinicians' ability to provide management suggestions. Implications for school clinicians were discussed.
