AbstractObjective:Health care professionals report a lack of skills in the psychosocial and spiritual aspects of caring for dying people and high levels of moral distress, grief, and burnout. To address these concerns, the “Being with Dying: Professional Training Program in Contemplative End-of-Life Care” (BWD) was created. The premise of BWD, which is based on the development of mindfulness and receptive attention through contemplative practice, is that cultivating stability of mind and emotions enables clinicians to respond to others and themselves with compassion. This article describes the impact of BWD on the participants.Methods:Ninety-five BWD participants completed an anonymous online survey; 40 completed a confidential open-ended telephone interview.Results:Four main themes—the power of presence, cultivating balanced compassion, recognizing grief, and the importance of self-care—emerged in the interviews and were supported in the survey data. The interviewees considered BWD's contemplative and reflective practices meaningful, useful, and valuable and reported that BWD provided skills, attitudes, behaviors, and tools to change how they worked with the dying and bereaved.Significance of results:The quality of presence has the potential to transform the care of dying people and the caregivers themselves. Cultivating this quality within themselves and others allows clinicians to explore alternatives to exclusively intellectual, procedural, and task-oriented approaches when caring for dying people. BWD provides a rare opportunity to engage in practices and methods that cultivate the stability of mind and emotions that may facilitate compassionate care of dying patients, families, and caregivers.

Abstract Background Treatment for rifampicin-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (RR-TB) is complex, however, shorter treatment, with newer antimicrobials are improving treatment outcomes. The South African National Department of Health (NDoH) recently accelerated the rollout of 9-month, all oral, RR-TB short-course regimens. We sought to evaluate an inter-professional training program using pre-test and post-test performance of Professional Nurses (PNs), Advanced Practice Professional Nurses (APPNs) and Medical Officers (MOs) to inform: a) training needs across cadres; b) knowledge performance, by cadres; and c) training differences in knowledge by nurse type. Methods A 4-day didactic and case-based clinical decision support course for RR-TB regimens in South Africa (SA) was developed, reviewed and nationally accredited. Between February 2017 and July 2018, 12 training events were held. Clinicians who may initiate RR-TB treatment, specifically MOs and PN/APPNs with matched pre-post tests and demographic surveys were analyzed. Descriptive statistics are provided. Pre-post test evaluations included 25 evidence-based clinically related questions about RR-TB diagnosis, treatment, and care. Results Participants (N = 842) participated in testing, and matched evaluations were received for 800 (95.0%) training participants. Demographic data was available for 793 (99.13%) participants, of whom 762 (96.1%) were MOs, or nurses, either PN or APPNs. Average correct response pre-test and post-test scores were 61.7% (range 7–24 correct responses) and 85.9% (range 12–25), respectively. Overall, 95.8% (730/762) of participants demonstrated improved knowledge. PNs improved on average 25% (6.22 points) whereas MOs improved 10% (2.89 points) with better mean test scores on both pre- and post-test (p < 0.000). APPNs performed the same as the MOs on post-test scores (p = NS). Conclusions The inter-professional training program in short-course RR-TB treatment improved knowledge for participants. MOs had significantly greater pre-test scores. Of the nurses, APPNs outperformed other PNs, and performed equally to MOs on post-test scores, suggesting this advanced cadre of nurses might be the most appropriate to initiate and monitor treatment in close collaboration with MOs. All cadres of nurse reported the need for additional clinical training and mentoring prior to managing such patients.

The relevance of the study lies in the lack of a prosecutors training program in psychological and pedagogical support. The goal is to develop a toolkit for researching the understanding of prosecutorial activities among persons with a higher legal education and a comprehensive program for training newly admitted prosecutorial officers of the prosecutor’s office of the Russian Federation for various types of supervisory activities. The methods and techniques used in the development of the diagnostic materials “Understanding the prosecutor’s activities” and the Comprehensive program for the training of newly adopted prosecutorial staff of the prosecutor’s office of the Russian Federation for various types of supervisory activities: method of expert assessments, comparative analysis, method of two portraits. 50 graduates of the departmental university of the prosecutor’s office of the Russian Federation and non-departmental law schools, as well as 10 prosecutors — highly qualified and experienced professionals, who acted as experts, took part in the study of ideas about prosecutorial activity. The paper presents the results of the study of ideas about prosecutorial activity among various categories of prosecutors. The authors used their own diagnostic materials “Understanding the prosecutor’s activities”, consisting of five methods developed and tested based on the St. Petersburg prosecutor’s office. The methods make it possible to determine the understanding of and focus on prosecutorial activities for persons with higher legal education, as well as to create an individual professional educational route for improving existing knowledge, skills and abilities within the framework of the Comprehensive Program for the Training of Newly Accepted Prosecutors of the Prosecutor’s Office of the Russian Federation for various types of supervisory activities. The presented diagnostic materials and program have found their application and are being successfully implemented in practice in the prosecutor’s offices of several constituent entities of the Russian Federation. The methods included in the diagnostic complex can be useful for district, specialized prosecutors, mentors of young specialists of the bodies and institutions of the prosecutor’s office of the Russian Federation, when deciding on the formation of an individual plan of training and education of newly adopted prosecutors. Personnel divisions of bodies and institutions of the prosecutor’s office of the Russian Federation can apply the presented comprehensive training program in order to improve knowledge and professional development of both newly admitted prosecutors and those who have changed the direction of their supervisory activities. A practice-oriented approach involves mastering the comprehensive program both independently and in organized forms of training (lectures, seminars, etc.) based on city, district and specialized prosecutors, prosecutors of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation.
