Objective: To examine the perceptions of intimidation in the psychiatric educational environment in Edmonton, Alberta. Methods: We distributed a 7-point modified Likert scale questionnaire that included questions with respect to intimidation perceptions and experience in psychiatry during a 1-week period to all student interns on psychiatry rotations, residents, and teaching faculty in the 5 teaching hospitals in Edmonton. Results: A total of 92 individuals responded, with response rates of 81% for faculty, 82% for residents, and 84% for students. Response rates did not differ among sites. While there were differences between site and group with respect to comparing the perceived intimidation in psychiatry with other specialties, respondents did not view psychiatry as worse than other specialties. Although, overall, women perceived intimidation as more prevalent at their sites than did men, the overall means reflect sites that are relatively free from intimidation. Faculty and student interns within sites, except for the university hospital, tended to disagree on management's approach to perceived intimidation. All groups, however, reported little personal experience and felt their sites had little tolerance for intimidators. Conclusions: Reported perceptions and personal experiences of intimidation within the psychiatric learning environment in Edmonton are low.

Purpose of the study: Sociological analysis of the university education digitalization; identifying the evaluative positions for the educational process agents; study of motivational factors for applying to online courses; comparative analysis of evaluative positions in terms of information exchange effectiveness in the digital learning environment and education quality. Methodology: We utilize sociological survey and comparative analysis to identify significant motivations of agents, to evaluate the quality of education by criteria of freedom of choice, preference for the learning format, individualization of the educational route. The empirical base consists of sociological data obtained by online and offline questioning. Principal Findings: The revealed trends of diversity and target conjugation in the university educational environment agent’s positions reflect the institutional shifts in the educational system. These bring about changes in the social role repertoire, the revision of norms and values in the context of the rapid growth of digital practices. Applications of this study: The study results can serve as a basis for improving the university's educational policy and technologies for information support of the educational process. Identifying the problem points of agency and their target conjugation seems to be a tool of social technology to achieve the effectiveness of digital education. Novelty of this study: We give accent to multi-agent approach in the study of distance learning, a comprehensive assessment of information exchange and motivational factors of interacting agents in the university educational environment, education quality evaluation by the criterion of meeting the expectations of students, teachers and administration in the context of learning environment digitalization.

Background: The educational environment (EE) has a significant influence on effective student learning. The Dundee Ready Education Environment Measure (DREEM) is a validated tool to assess the EE. A DREEM survey done in early 2019 among medical students at the University of Nairobi highlighted many problems. It was therefore important to explore why such perceptions existed among the medical students. Objectives: To explore medical students’ perceptions ofthe medical education learning environment at the University of Nairobi. Methods: Qualitative focus group discussions (FGD) were held among medical students in years III to VI in groups of between 8and 12students. The discussions were recorded using a Samsung J6 phone voice recorder, transcribed, coded, and analysed for themes until saturation was reached. Results: We held six FGD with medical students in years III to VI and identified four thematic areas: 1) poor educational infrastructure, 2) poor educational structure, 3) teacher-centred teaching, and 4) lack of social support for students in difficulties. Conclusion: Exploring the perceptions of the EE confirmed students have a poor view of the educational environment. The issues raised are good feedback on teaching, governance and the social culture of the institution. Keywords: Learning environment, DREEM, Medical students, Qualitative methods

Teaching hospitals are undergoing profound and fast changes, especially resulting from the implementation of new policies for health. To achieve their goals and remain competitive, these organizations have been forced to adopt more effective management tools, among which are the elaboration of a strategic plan. The goal of this study is to analyze the influence of leadership in driving the implementation process of strategic planning in a teaching hospital. The study was conducted in the university hospital Prof. Polydoro Ernani de São Thiago from Federal University of Santa Catarina - HU / UFSC, where a semi-structured interview was conducted with the coordinator of the Strategic Planning Team HU / UFSC. Authors Hersey et al (1986), Northouse (2004), Schein (1997) Senge (1999), among others, were grounded theoretically in the theme of leadership. The theory of strategic planning was primarily based on works by authors Ansoff (l991), Hrebiniak (2006) and Pereira (2010). With the research results, we can conclude the great influence that leadership plays in driving the implementation process of strategic planning.
