Rational training is a method of teaching basic principles of interpersonal relations to groups of individuals and is particularly applicable to all levels of management in business and industry, to labor officials, to military personnel, and to others who work in the area of “people contact.” It differs significantly from sensitivity training, group psychoanalysis, and conventional management training courses. It specifically shows members of the training session how to eliminate fears of failure, how to be more tolerant and less hostile, how to gain their own unqualified self-acceptance, and how to achieve high frustration tolerance. Rational training differs from most group training in that directiveness, activity, structuring, authoritativeness, and homework assignments are employed. An illustrative protocol demonstrates some of the details of how rational training actually works.

Abstract Background The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of 12 weeks of aerobic training, 4 weeks of detraining and use gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) on serum C-reactive protein (CRP) and cortisol levels in girls with central precocious puberty (CPP). Methods Forty-five girls (aged 6–8 years) with precocious puberty were randomly divided into three groups (medication, training and medicine + training groups). Fifteen healthy girls (without precocious puberty) were also included as the control group. Serum CRP and cortisol levels were measured at baseline by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) technique. Then, the experimental groups performed an aerobic training program for 3 days/week 20–75 min per day at 45–75% maximum heart rate for 12 weeks. The medication groups also received GnRHa during the study, once a month (1 mL every 4 weeks) by intramuscular injection. Serum CRP and cortisol levels were measured again 48 h after the last training session and also after 4 weeks of detraining. Results Analysis of variance (ANOVA) with repeated measures showed a significant decrease in CRP (p = 0.02) and cortisol levels (p = 0.01) in the training group and the medicine + training group. Detraining led to return of CRP and cortisol levels to the pre-training levels (p = 0.001). No significant difference in serum CRP (p = 0.43) and cortisol levels (p = 0.06) was observed in the medication group. Further, no significant difference was observed between groups in CRP and cortisol. Conclusions Long-term regular moderate training decreases inflammation indices, and detraining eliminates the benefits of training in girls with precocious puberty.

Individual Training

This case deals with an instructional designer (ID) working at a European university who has been asked to convert an existing on-campus program for working professionals to online delivery. This case took place over a period of several months and led to the development of an online training program. The program was designed to facilitate management of the individual training courses, while supporting exchanges between participants from a highly heterogenous audience. Interpersonal relationships that developed within the group remained a basic component of the training experience. The main challenges encountered by the instructional designer were the module-based courses that emphasized personalized learning, a lack of confidence in the Program Coordinator, and a lack of ICT knowledge by the design team in an institutional context unfavorable to the use of ICT. The courses offered by this university were mainly on-campus and the LMS was mainly used as a content repository.

In order to test its effect on compliance with recommended practice of relaxation training, patients in anxiety management training groups were provided with additional information about the procedure and its rationale. After an introductory training session all subjects were provided with audiotaped relaxation instructions to use for three weeks until the second group meeting. Additional information was provided either as an audiotaped message at the end of the relaxation instructions (“Message”) or as a printed leaflet (“Leaflet”). In a 2 × 2 factorial experiment 32 subjects were randomly assigned to one of four conditions: (1) Message, (2) Leaflet, (3) Message and Leaflet, (4) Basic Programme alone. Neither manipulation had an effect on self-reported frequency of practice during the three weeks (which was high), but both increased subjects' knowledge of the treatment and also their satisfaction with it. Subjects receiving the message were significantly less likely to drop out of treatment during the remainder of the 16-weeks group programme. Compliance was predicted by subjects' perceptions of the severity of their condition but not by their knowledge, satisfaction or state anxiety.

Abstract Background Health science education for students should comply with the principles of the Humanistic Environment. Adhering to these principles, along with other didactic and clinical training courses, will make treatment more successful and brings more satisfaction for patients. Methods Six completely related researches were found in the literature (Pubmed, Google Scholar). A questionnaire consisting of 67 questions was collected for evaluation. The questionnaire was submitted to 9 members of a panel of experts for a survey. Using statistical methods, Content Validity Index (CVI) and Content Validity Ratio (CVR) were determined and its reliability was evaluated. According to the relevant formula and Lawshe table questions with a score higher than 0.79 and 0.78 were included in the questionnaire, respectively. The questionnaire was also administered to 8 students for determining the Face Validity. Cronbach's Alpha was calculated 0.808, using SPSS (v.#22) software. The Reliability Analysis was determined based upon 15 students’ opinions. Results Eventually, a questionnaire containing 39 questions was finalized and categorized in 7 eminent humanistic fields. These are: Internal Feelings, Rules and Regulations, Interpersonal Relations, Behavior Change, Administration, Commitment & Satisfaction, Professional Ethics. Conclusions The principles of Humanistic Environment provide favorable interaction between students and teachers, satisfy the welfare of patient, and succeed the outcome of treatment along with regular scientific courses. Due to cultural and social differences, a specific questionnaire should be designed for each community to reflect their interests.
