Violence In The Workplace

Abstract Background: Workplace violence is internationally recognized as a major concern for the workforce, which entails serious consequences, and research shows that medical residents are more likely than other doctors to experience violence in the workplace. This study examines the effectiveness of simulation-based medical education on the one hand, and simulation-based medical education combined with behavioural economics on the other as interventions in medical residents' perception of, attitude toward, and self-efficacy in coping with violence in the workplace. Methods: A quasi-experimental design was used, 190 participants having been randomised into three study groups to respectively test the effect of simulation-based medical education only and simulation-based medical education plus with behavioural economics interventions, compared with a control group. Data were obtained from structured questionnaires, including (1) a perception of aggression scale, a management of aggression and violence attitude scale, a general self-efficacy scale, and (2) sociodemographic characteristics. Results: The results show that the scores attained by simulation-based medical education (SBME) and simulation-based medical education combined with behavioural economics (SBME+BE) interventions for perception, attitude, and self-efficacy were significantly higher than those in the control group (p < .01). The SBME+BE group recorded a higher improvement in perception, which could be ascribed to the behavioural economics effect. In addition, the higher perception of workplace violence is correlated with single residents and those with more work experience, prior experiences of violence in the workplace, and training related to workplace violence. A higher positive correlation of workplace violence was recorded by female and widowed residents; and a higher level of self-efficacy related to violence in the workplace correlated with male, widowed and senior (third-year) residents. Conclusions: This study contributes important evidence regarding changes in the perception, attitude, and self-efficacy of subjects following both the SBME+BE and SBME interventions among medical residents in coping with workplace violence, the highest perception change having been recorded after the SBME+BE intervention, which can be explained by the inclusion of behavioural economics.

During the COVID-19 confinement, we converted our clinical simulation sessions into simulated video consultations. This study aims to evaluate the effects of virtual simulation-based training on developing and cultivating humanization competencies in undergraduate nursing students. A quasi-experimental study was conducted with 60 undergraduate nursing students. A validated questionnaire was used to evaluate the acquisition of humanization competencies (self-efficacy, sociability, affection, emotional understanding, and optimism). The development of humanization competencies in this group composed of undergraduate nursing students was evaluated using virtual simulation-based training, comparing the levels obtained in these competencies at baseline (pre-test) and after the virtual simulation experience (post-test). After the virtual simulation sessions, students improved their levels in humanization total score and the emotional understanding and self-efficacy competencies, obtaining large effects sizes in all of them (rB = 0.508, rB = 0.713, and rB = 0.505 respectively). This virtual simulation modality enables training in the humanization of care with the collaboration of standardized patients in the form of simulated nursing video consultations and the performance of high-fidelity simulation sessions that comply with the requirements of best practices. Therefore, this methodology could be considered as another choice for virtual simulation. Additionally, this virtual modality could be a way to humanize virtual simulation.

Abstract Background Annually, about 16 million adolescent girls give birth, accounting for 11% of all births worldwide. Ninety-five percent of these births occur in low- and middle-income countries, and previous studies have addressed the need for parenting interventions in developing countries with limited health care resources to improve parenting behaviors. Objective To explore the effect of a brief training program for primigravid adolescents on parenting self-efficacy and mother-infant bonding. Subjects We enrolled 116 married pregnant adolescents. Methods This quasi-experimental study was conducted during August 22, 2016–February 3, 2017. The intervention group received three sessions of training on neonatal care, while the control group received the routine care. We evaluated parenting self-efficacy using the Perceived Maternal Parenting Self-Efficacy (PMP S-E) questionnaire, the mother-infant bonding using the Postpartum Bonding Questionnaire (PBQ) and social support by means of the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS). The participants were followed up for 1 month. Results The mean ages of the intervention and the control groups were 16.37 ± 0.97 and 16.27 ± 1.12 years, respectively. The intervention group obtained higher self-efficacy and bonding scores compared to the control group. The logistic regression model showed that the second (evoking behaviors) and the third (reading behavior or signaling) subscales of the PMP S-E, the route of delivery and women’s educational levels could predict the mother-infant bonding scores. Conclusion Primigravid adolescents can benefit from brief interventions during pregnancy through improving their parenting self-efficacy and mother-infant bonding.

We utilized a quasi-experimental pre-test–post-test design to assess the effects of job search skills training on job search knowledge, job search behavior, job search behavior self-efficacy, and job search outcomes self-efficacy. We also examined differences in outcomes based on participation in a vocational rehabilitation agency-sponsored summer work experience (SWE) program. Participants were 92 youth with visual impairments, ages 15 to 22 years, from three U.S. states. The intervention was an intensive job search skills training program involving 35 to 40 hr of content; 42 youth also participated in an SWE program for approximately 6 weeks. Intervention group participants significantly improved in job search knowledge, job search behavior, and job search behavior self-efficacy in contrast to comparison group participants, but results for job search outcomes self-efficacy did not differentiate the two groups. SWE participation by itself was related to increases in both self-efficacy measures, and participation in the intervention plus the SWE was related to larger increases in job search behavior self-efficacy. Results indicate that job search skills training and SWE programs may have differential effects on short-term outcomes. Rather than finding jobs for youth, practitioners could foster youths’ competence, confidence, and preparation for the future by teaching job search skills and encouraging independent job-seeking.

Background: Simulation-based medical education is more prevalent in undergraduate preclinical medical education and acts as a foundation for clinical learning in years three and four. Currently, there is a call to teach clinical application of basic science material in preclinical years one and two. Methods: Two groups of students participated in this investigation; a historical control of 270 students from the 2010 matriculating class and students receiving the intervention (anatomy lecture plus airway management simulation) from the 2012 matriculating class (n=337). Descriptive statistics were calculated for demographic and academic performance variables. Unadjusted and adjusted odds of passage of mid-term and final assessment were calculated. The final assessment was defined as one correct, two correct, and all three questions correct. Results: Adjusted odds of passage of mid-term exam for the control group were 3.9 (95% CI: 2.7-5.9), virtually unchanged from the unadjusted odds of passage. Control group results for final exam passage as defined as one correct increased from .7 to .9 when adjusted for variables (95% CI:.3-2.5). Odds of passage of final assessment, for the control group, for adjusted models for two or greater correct increased from 4.1 to 5.6 (95% CI:2.6-13.7) and from 34.1 to 44.0 (95% CI: 21.7-102.5) when three answers (or 100%) are needed for passage. Conclusions: When passage criteria for the final exam were defined as one correct, addition of a simulation exercise to the anatomy lecture increased the rate of passage by 11% after adjusting for covariates. However, when passage criteria for the final exam was defined as two or three correct, addition of a simulation exercise to the anatomy lecture decreased the rate of passage.

Objective: Neonatal evaluations performed at the very first minutes following postpartum are the most important steps in deciding for neonatal resuscitation. Therefore, the newborn initial care and evaluation notion and skills of midwives in the delivery hall are quite important. The study was planned to determine the effects of simulation education on newborn evaluation and care skills in midwifery students. Methods: This is a quasi-experimental study. The population of the study was composed of the 4th year students of Marmara University Faculty of Health Sciences (65 students in total), who selected the Intern Newborn course in the 2017-2018 Fall and Spring semesters. Results: The areas where the control group students did not apply at all or needed the help of the trainer were observed as delivery room preparation (86.2%), initial neonatal evaluation (96.6%) and registration/safety (69%). According to “the Guide for Newborn Evaluation at the Delivery Room,” the differences in the mean total scores and all sub-dimension scores were found to be significant in favor of the experiment group. Conclusion: Education programs that are carried out by computer-assisted simulation and in accordance with the teaching guide were effective on improvement of knowledge-skills on newborns’ first evaluations in the delivery room. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.35.4.350 How to cite this:Karakoc A, Bal MD, Bingol FB, Aslan B.
