The successful implementation of health information systems can be affected by various barriers ranging from technological, human, and organizational. Training is one of the most cited factors for successful implementation. The goal of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of various training methods. The first two levels Kirkpatrick’s Four-Level Training Evaluation model were utilized to evaluate the training approaches for four groups: No training (control), training through an instructional booklet, training through a video tutorial and super-user training. Following training, participants answered a questionnaire about their impressions of the training and were asked to complete an exercise with an interactive whiteboard. The questionnaire suggested that users preferred super-user training. Based on the results of the exercise, there was a statistically significant difference between training methods in terms of the number of correctly answer questions. Super-user and video training were significantly better compared to the control group. There were no statistically significant differences in the amount of time it took to complete the exercise. Based on these results, super-user training is recommended.

Background: One of the factors influencing the validity and reliability of the assessment is the standardization of the observers in assessing students’ performance. A recent study by Setiawan (2011) found that there is differences in the standard of assessment used by general practitioners and specialized doctors in assessing students in OSCE.7 These differences are considered to be harmful for the students, therefore needs to be improved. Several training methods are developed to overcome the problem. This study aims to assess whether rubric and multi video can be used as a means of standardization of OSCE observers.Method: This was an experimental action research. The instruments used in this study were checklist, rubric, and video recording of students doing OSCE (n=5), which further be called multi-video. The subjects of the study were the OSCE observers in station Integrated Patient Management (IPM) who were divided into control and treatment group. The subjects assessed students’ performance from the multi-video in two data collection sessions. In the first session, both control and treatment group used checklist for assessing the multi-video. Furthermore in the second session, the control group did as the first data collection session, while the treatment group used checklist and rubric for assessing the multivideo. The result of which compared and tested using independent sample t-test.Results: As many as 33 observers, which consists of 23 general practitioners (GP) and 10 specialized doctors (SP), participated in the first data collection session. In the second data collection session, 28 observers consist of 20 GPs and 8 SPs participated. The result of the first data collection session, which used only checklist as an instrument, showed a significant difference in the standard of assessment used by the GPS and SPs (p<0.05), whereas the second data collection session, which used rubric as an additional instrument for the treatment group, showed no significant difference between GPs and SPs in the standard of assessment (p>0.05).Conclusion: Rubrics and multi video can be used as a means of standardization of OSCE observer in assessing students’ performance.

Background: The Early Warning Score (EWS) system has been recommended for early identification tool of deterioration. However, its implementation has not been optimal; one of which is due to the low level of knowledge and understanding of EWS among nurses.Purpose: This study aimed to determine the effects of EWS tutorial simulation on nurses’ knowledge and clinical performance.Methods: This study employed a pretest posttest quasi-experimental design with a control group. Purposive sampling was used to recruit the samples of 42 respondents each in the intervention group and control group. The data were collected using the questionnaires to measure the knowledge and clinical performance, and analyzed using Chi square, Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney tests.Results: The results showed that there were differences in the pre-test and post-test of knowledge and clinical performance in the intervention group and control group (p<0.001). There was also a significant difference in clinical performance between the intervention group and the control group (p<0.001). However, no significant difference in knowledge was found between.Conclusions: Tutorial simulation of EWS had an effect on increasing nurses’ clinical performance. Although there was no significant difference in knowledge between the intervention group and the control group, but the intervention group showed a better value than the control group. EWS tutorial simulation can be used as one of the training methods to increase nurses' knowledge and clinical performance in EWS.

Early numerical abilities predict later math achievement and could be improved in children by using various training methods. As the literature on the use of training videos to develop numerical abilities is still surprisingly scant, the aim of the present study was to test the efficacy of a numerical training video on the development of counting and number line knowledge in 3-year-old preschoolers. Far transfer effects to cardinality and working memory were also examined. The study involved 86 children randomly assigned to two intervention groups: a numerical training group exposed to videos on counting and number lines; and a control group exposed to videos on colors and animal names in a foreign language. After the video training, there was an improvement in the numerical training group’s counting skills, but not in their number line knowledge, and this improvement persisted six months later. The numerical training group also showed a far-transfer enhancement of cardinality six months after the intervention. Based on our results, numerical training videos could be effective in helping to enhance early numeracy skills in very young preschoolers.

This study check the effectiveness of the intermittent work as a key method of work of the quality in the quantity by the layout of a plyometric work. The question always remains to find the training methods scientifically validated which lead to improve these qualities. We put forward the hypothesis that the intermittent training by plyometric exercises will improve the football players, aerobic an anaerobic capacities. Twenty football players aged between 18 and 23 years coming from Tissemsilt university team were invited to participate in our study (table1). Our population was spilt up into 2 groups in a random way. An experimental group (EG) and control group (CG). The programme was calibrated on 8 weeks and planned as follow: two weeks of intermittent work 10s/20s, four weeks of intermittent work 30s/30s, two weeks of intermittent work 15s/30s. The frequency of these types of training was 2 sessions/week. The footballers did a physical tests: (SJ; CMJ). The (RSA) test, and the Yo-yo test. The tests were again proposed to the footballers: this allowed us to compare the obtained results between the two tests before and after the training. After eight weeks of training, we recorded a development in the experimental sample in the (MAS), vertical jump (CMJ), and (RSA) tests, while we did not record a significant difference in the vertical jump (SJ) test (p<0.05), As with the control sample, the development was limited to (MAS) and (RSA) only. This study shows the effectiveness of the training programme applied to the experimental sample in the post-tests between the two groups, with the exception of the vertical jump test (SJ), where there was no significant difference.

ABSTRACT Introduction Tooth brushing plays a vital role in effective plaque control, which depends on the effectiveness of the particular method and the ease with which the procedure is carried out. Hence, the aim of this study was to assess the effect of different teaching methods of tooth brushing on oral hygiene status in adults. Materials and methods Eighty subjects were divided into four groups, each with 20 and assigned to different training methods. Twenty subjects were in control group and the rest in the experimental group. Each experimental group was further subdivided into two groups, namely reinforcers and nonreinforcers, with 10 subjects in each group. The plaque scores of these subjects were measured before and 1 week after the training sessions. The data analysis was carried out using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) 20.0 and two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). Results There was significant reduction in the plaque scores due to different training methods (f = 12.218, p < 0.05). Maximum reduction was seen in the instruction on cast method. There was significant difference in the plaque scores in the reinforcers and nonreinforcers (f = 4.897, p < 0.05). A small survey conducted among participants revealed that individual as a model was an easy method to learn brushing. Conclusion The instruction on cast method was effective in reducing the plaque scores compared with the other methods. How to cite this article Asif M, Shobha KS, Chatterjee A.

AbstractIntroductionConventional teaching and learning methods have been seen to fail to assure achievement of competencies in male bladder catherization in the Indian Medical Graduate (IMG) with wide variation noted in competencies. This could be remedied by introduction of Structured training methods.Aims and ObjectiveThe study aimed to investigate DOAP method of training in a Skill Lab against training through a Structured Educational Video (SEV) with the objective of comparing their efficacy in training Final MBBS Students in the psychomotor skill of performing male bladder catheterisation.Material & MethodsFinal MBBS students fulfilling selection criteria were randomly allocated into two comparable groups. One group underwent Skill lab training using DOAP method while the other group underwent training using a SEV by the same instructor. CRRI interns, regularly performing MBC at work by virtue of conventional training, with 6-8 months experience formed a control group. All participants underwent assessment of skill in MBC by skill lab OSCE evaluation, by assessors who were blinded to the participant’s method of training. Data was recorded and analysed using standard statistical software. Trial evaluation from the trial groups was obtained using Survey monkey tool.ObservationThere was no statistically significant difference in the ability of DOAP group or SEV group in being able to safely perform MBC though a higher level of confidence was expressed with their training by DOAP group. Both trial groups statistically outperformed the control group.ConclusionStructured training assures competence. Video-assisted Training produces comparable results though DOAP method is preferred by students. A combination of the techniques may facilitate optimal training.

Background and Study Aim. Taekwondo (TKD) is a combat sport emphasizing on kicking techniques and dynamic footwork. Specialized balance ability is crucial for Taekwondo practitioners. Nowadays balance could be improved with specific strength training such as blood flow restriction and plyometric training. Thus, the aim of this study was to understand the effect of blood flow restriction (BFR) and pliometric training methods on the development of dynamic balance at the martial art of Taekwondo. Material and Methods. Totally 31 TKD athletes between 15-19 ages participated voluntarily and were divided into three groups as blood flow restriction (n=11), plyometric training (n=10) and control groups (n=10). In addition to normal taekwondo training, 8 week training programs were applied to the pliometric and blood flow restriction groups, and no training program was applied to the control group. At the beginning and after the trainings, dynamic balance ability measured with Prokin Tecnobody equipment for 30 seconds slalom test.  Results. The difference between pre-test and post-test values of BFR group’s dynamic balance (antero-posterior sway) was found to be statistically different (p<.05) while according to the pliometric training results, there was no statistically significant difference (p>.05). Also, there was not any difference in terms of gender (p>.05). Conclusions. Strength development is neccessary for dynamic balance improvement in athletes. Since taekwondo athletes use strength and balance ability for rapid kicking and change direction, these motor abilities are important for success. Based on the findings of this study; it is recommended that BFR method may be useful and so it can be included in training programs.
