Abstract Stroke caregivers need education and support to care for suddenly disabled family members. To address this need, we are conducting a nurse-led intervention, called RESCUE CREST, to teach caregivers problem-solving skills using an educational website and an online messaging center. In our first, preliminary study, we pre-tested an investigator-created, senior-friendly website called RESCUE (Resources and Education for Stroke Caregivers’ Understanding and Empowerment) using focus groups and interviews with clinicians and caregivers. We refined the website based on additional surveys, a cognitive usability study, and Webtrends analysis. In the second study, we used a single-group pre- and post-test design to evaluate the content and outcomes of the problem-solving intervention. Third, we conducted a four-arm RCT (4-week intervention, 8-week intervention, attention control, standard care) to refine our methods. We will describe the lessons learned and results of our 10 years of stroke caregiver research that provide background for the RESCUE CREST study.

Aggression is a behavior that includes intention to hurt others both physically and psychologically. Some risk factors that play an important role in aggression are lack of anger control and problem solving. Anger management training and problem solving training can improve the ability to manage and express anger in a socially competent behavior, and solve problems with the right considerations without involving aggressive behavior. Problem solving skills are important for adolescents. This study aims to determine whether the application of group anger management and problem solving training can reduce aggressive behavior among male adolescents in LPKA. The five study participants had records of aggressive behavior from young age to adolescence and often resolved problems through aggressive behavior. The anger management and problem solving training group lasted for 8 sessions. This study uses mixed method one group pre-test post-test design. Evaluations were conducted using Draw-A-Person Test, BAUM, and Aggressive Behavior Scale before and after the intervention. The results of this study indicate that the five participants showed a decrease in aggressive behavior scores. Changes between pre-test and post-test of Draw-A-Person Test and BAUM can be seen from changes in drawing of person made by participants based on the size, location of the drawing, shape, lines, and attributes of the drawing. Perilaku agresi adalah suatu kategori perilaku yang ditunjukkan dengan niat untuk menyakiti orang lain baik secara fisik maupun secara psikologis. Beberapa faktor risiko yang memainkan peran penting dalam perilaku agresi adalah kurangnya kemampuan pengendalian kemarahan dan pemecahan masalah. Pelatihan anger management dan problem solving training dapat meningkatkan kemampuan mengelola dan mengekspresikan kemarahan dalam bentuk perilaku yang kompeten secara sosial, serta memecahkan masalah dengan pertimbangan yang tepat tanpa melibatkan perilaku agresi. Kemampuan pemecahan masalah juga merupakan komponen dalam keterampilan hidup yang penting bagi remaja. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui seperti apakah penerapan group anger management dan problem solving training dapat menurunkan perilaku agresi pada remaja pria di LPKA. Kelima partisipan penelitian ini memiliki latar belakang perilaku agresi sejak usia sekolah hingga remaja dan seringkali menyelesaikan masalah dengan melibatkan perilaku agresi. Group anger management dan problem solving training yang dijalankan oleh partisipan berlangsung selama 8 sesi. Penelitian ini menggunakan mixed method one group pre-test post-test design. Evaluasi dilakukan menggunakan Draw-A-Person Test, BAUM, dan Skala Perilaku Agresi sebelum dan sesudah intervensi dilaksanakan. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa kelima partisipan mengalami penurunan skor perilaku agresi. Perubahan dalam evaluasi pre-test dan post-test Draw-A-Person Test dan BAUM dapat dilihat dari perubahan gambar orang yang dibuat oleh partisipan berdasarkan aspek ukuran, letak gambar, bentuk, coretan garis, dan atribut pada gambar.

Objectives: The overall goal of the study was to foster self-directed learning, critical thinking and problem-solving skills in 1st-year medical students. Another goal was to create interest in learning by making it more interactive. As per the requirement of a competency-based medical education curriculum, we tried to use a novel teaching method called Flipped classroom method to meet our goals. Hence, the objectives of this study were: (1) To compare the effect of flipped classroom method and didactic lecture on students’ performance in the topics from renal physiology by MCQ test. (2) To obtain students’ perception about flipped classroom method in learning physiology. (3) To obtain teachers’ perception about flipped classroom method in teaching physiology. Materials and Methods: Flipped classroom method was introduced for teaching two topics in renal physiology for first MBBS students. This cross-over experimental study included 112 first M.B.B.S. students, after taking their informed consent and Ethics Committee permission. They were divided into two groups according to odd and even roll numbers. In the first part of the study, Group A (odd roll numbers) attended the didactic lecture on Renal Clearance (RC) and Group B (even roll numbers) attended the didactic lecture on Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR). These topics were taught by two different teachers in two different classrooms. They were administered pre-test and post-test in the form of case-based MCQs which tests knowledge, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills on the topic. In the second part, two groups were swapped. Group A attended flipped class for G.F.R. and Group B attended flipped class for RC. They were again administered pre-test and post-test in the form of the same MCQ test. The teacher remained the same for the particular topic. For the flipped class, students came prepared with the topic. They were provided with resource materials of the allotted topic 1 week prior, in the form of pre-recorded lectures and videos. Students’ feedback in the form of a questionnaire and teachers’ feedback in the form of the interview was obtained. Marks obtained by students after didactic teaching and flipped classroom method teaching were compared by “Student’s t-test.” Results: The post-test score of students in the flipped class was significantly higher (P < 0.05) than the post-test score of students in didactic class. More than 85% of students agreed and strongly agreed that the flipped classroom method improved their learning in renal physiology and it increased their confidence in answering the topic in the final exam. Near about 50% of students liked the flipped class method because of its interactive nature and discussion which was based on the application of knowledge. The teachers were more satisfied by flipped classroom method of teaching. Conclusion: Flipped classroom method is an effective teaching-learning method in physiology when compared with a didactic lecture.
