The aim of the work is a comprehensive assessment of the teaching quality at the Department of Internal Medicine №1 of the Poltava State Medical University. The assessment of monitoring was an anonymous online survey of VI year education medical students that was trained at the modules “Current practice of internal medicine” and “Emergency conditions in the clinic of Internal Medicine” in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. It was shown that, despite the greatest difficulty of the “Cardiology” and “Hematology” cycles, the overall assessment of the teaching availability for all cycles was 4,16±0,416 points and the value of any cycle was not lower than 4 (5-point system). Given the conditions of distance learning in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic caused by the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 the average score of student satisfaction with the skills acquired was 3.59 ± 0.593. Students noted that the most difficult mastering practical skills were on the “Emergency” (16.14%) and “Cardiology” (15.18%) cycles. This indicates that any cases, situational tasks, demonstration videos can’t replace live communication with the patient, under the guidance of a teacher-mentor, work with modern equipment and simulators. These results reflect that students need bedside teaching activities on patients’ experiences with teacher-mentor. A targeted approach to teaching and evaluating the learning process encourages feedback from students to improve the quality of educational services. Thus, the data allow us to analyze the effectiveness of distance educational quality using anonymous questionnaires, to get feedback and respond to the identified shortcomings.

This case study reminded researchers of the value in using formal methodologies to gain an objective balanced perspective of actual practice. By using models and survey instruments that gathered objective input from key stakeholders in the higher education market, several of the true underlying factors were revealed. The key instrument used in the case study allowed us to objectively measure if flexible e-learning was at least as effective as campus delivery mode. More so, the assessment was not just performance and not just student satisfaction – instead the outcomes assessed included six factors that were linked to Australian university accreditation: Industry focus, resources/content materials, critical thinking activities, teaching quality, student satisfaction, and student performance (including completion). One of the most interesting aspects of the case study was that we are seeing history in the making to some degree in that as a result of the 2008 global economic crises, the international student market is changing which will force universities to change what and how they offer higher education in the future. More countries (and their populations) in the world are seeking a credible university higher education and they do not always want to travel to holiday destinations to obtain that… the world economic model is changing, continuing to increase the demand for education, yet changing how that product/service must be delivered. Successful higher education institutions around the world are already showing the followers how to do that. This case study provides some ideas and benchmarks for becoming more competitive in higher education, and while the model was developed and used in Australia, likely it can be applied elsewhere since the majority of students feeding into this model and research were international.

E-learning has become an important and ubiquitous instructional tool across a broad range of programmes in institutions of higher education (IHE). For instance, this is evident today in nursing education whereby e-learning in a blended mode approach provides both enormous and flexible opportunities for working nurses to further their education and to engage in continuous professional development for life-long learning. A pilot study was conducted to test the feasibility of participant recruitment, data collection process, and online survey in an e-learning education programme in Malaysia. The conceptual framework developed for the study was based on DeLone and McLean Information Systems Success Model to examine any mediation effect of student satisfaction on e-learning quality and learning outcome among nursing undergraduates in a local e-learning programme. The Partial Least Squares approach was used to analyse the possible effects on the relationships among the variables studied. The exploration process to determine the feasibility of the preliminary online survey has helped to contribute to the main study to be conducted in an e-learning nursing context. The findings revealed that there were significant relationships between the dimensions of system quality and service quality with student satisfaction and learning outcome. The results showed that there was a mediating effect of student satisfaction on the relationship between e-learning quality and learning outcome. The study emphasises the importance for an initial understanding of the learning environmental needs of learners to provide a credible and meaningful learning experience for working nurses in e-learning nursing programmes.

The Impact

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically shaped higher education and seen the distinct rise of e-learning as a compulsory element of the modern educational landscape. Accordingly, this study highlights the factors which have influenced how students perceive their academic performance during this emergency changeover to e-learning. The empirical analysis is performed on a sample of 10,092 higher education students from 10 countries across 4 continents during the pandemic’s first wave through an online survey. A structural equation model revealed the quality of e-learning was mainly derived from service quality, the teacher’s active role in the process of online education, and the overall system quality, while the students’ digital competencies and online interactions with their colleagues and teachers were considered to be slightly less important factors. The impact of e-learning quality on the students’ performance was strongly mediated by their satisfaction with e-learning. In general, the model gave quite consistent results across countries, gender, study fields, and levels of study. The findings provide a basis for policy recommendations to support decision-makers incorporate e-learning issues in the current and any new similar circumstances.

Electrocardiogram Interpretation

BACKGROUND Interpretation of electrocardiograms (EKG) is an essential tool for every physician. Despite this, the diagnosis of life-threatening pathology on EKG remains suboptimal in trainees. The purpose of this study is to study resident attitudes and behaviours towards EKGs, and describe an innovative way to teach EKGs. OBJECTIVE Study attitudes and behaviours towards EKGs. Describe an innovative way to teach EKGs. METHODS Design: An observational cross-sectional study through an anonymous online survey of resident attitudes and comfort with EKG interpretation. This was followed by creation of a WhatsApp group for discussion and interpretation of EKGs with peers. At the end of the day, the official EKG interpretation was posted. Setting: Internal medicine residency at Southern Illinois University. Participants: Internal medicine residents Interventions: Creation of WhatsApp group to aid with EKG interpretation Measurements: A 17 item questionnaire, followed by detection of degree of participation in a WhatsApp group. RESULTS Forty-one out of 63 residents (65%) completed the survey. 85% of respondents thought that an interactive way to teach EKGs is the best method of teaching, and 73% did not feel confident interpreting EKGs. 30% often rely on automated EKG interpretation. Further analysis indicated that PGY-1 residents reported ordering fewer EKGs (correlation coefficient -0.399, p = 0.012) and were uncomfortable diagnosing QT prolongation on an EKG (correlation coefficient -0.310, p = 0.049). Residents in the third or greater year of training ordered more EKGs (correlation coefficient 0.379, p = 0.015), less frequently relied on the computer for EKG diagnosis (correlation coefficient 0.399, p = 0.010), and were comfortable diagnosing an acute myocardial infarction and atrial arrhythmias. CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, most IM trainees do not feel comfortable interpreting EKG, however, this does improve with PGY year. WhatsApp is a possible platform for teaching EKGs.

This study aimed to evaluate the general quality of life (QoL) of Brazilian vegetarians. A cross-sectional study was conducted with Brazilian vegetarian adults (18 years old and above). Individuals were recruited to participate in a nationwide online survey that comprised the WHOQOL-BREF as well as sociodemographic and characterization questions related to vegetarianism. The WHOQOL-BREF is composed of 24 items which are divided into four domains (domain 1: physical health; domain 2: psychological well-being; domain 3: social relationships; and domain 4: environment), plus two general items which were analyzed separately, totaling 26 items. The answers from the questionnaire were converted into scores with a 0–100 scale range, with separate analyses for each domain. Results were compared among groups based on the different characteristics of the vegetarian population. A total of 4375 individuals completed the survey. General average score results were 74.67 (domain 1), 66.71 (domain 2), 63.66 (domain 3) and 65.76 (domain 4). Vegans showed better scores when compared to the other vegetarians, except in domain four, where the statistical difference was observed only for semi-vegetarians (lower score). Individuals adopting a vegetarian diet for longer (>1 year) showed better results for domains one and two, with no difference for the other domains. Having close people also adopting a vegetarian diet positively influenced the results for all domains. On the other hand, it was not possible to distinguish any clear influence of the motivation for adopting a vegetarian diet on the scores’ results. Adopting a vegetarian diet does not have detrimental effects on one’s QoL. In fact, the more plant-based the diet, and the longer it was adopted, the better the results were.

(1) This study demonstrates how a Saudi university has responded to the COVID-19 lockdown in order to examine the success factors and highlight any challenges. The main purpose was to determine the perceptions of students and faculty towards emergency online distance learning from a teaching and learning perspective; (2) A cross-faculty study was conducted: two different self-administered questionnaires were developed for students and faculty, respectively. In addition, data was collected from official reports; (3) The results show that students had a more positive perception of e-Learning despite the difficulties that they may have faced, while faculty results leaned slightly towards a negative perception. However, there was not a definite positive or negative perception, depending on the aspect of teaching that was being evaluated. The study also indicated that faculty and students’ gender had no significant effect on their perceptions. Overall results showed that the university performed well in accordance with three of the five pillars of online learning quality framework in terms of student satisfaction, access and scalability. On the other, improvements are needed to achieve better results for faculty satisfaction and learning effectiveness; (4) The findings present a number of suggestions for increasing satisfaction to improve the online learning experience post COVID-19.

Background: The CDC and The Joint Commission have called for an interdisciplinary approach to antibiotic stewardship implementation. The healthcare team should consist of infectious disease physicians, pharmacists, infectious disease pharmacists, infection preventionists, microbiologists, and nurses. The scant literature to date has looked at nurses’ attitudes and beliefs toward participating in antibiotic stewardship and have identified several factors that contribute to the lack of uptake by nurses: lack of education around stewardship, poor communication among healthcare providers, and hospital or unit culture, among others. Additionally, nurses’ lack of interest in what would be more work or not within their scope of work was put forth as an additional factor by infection preventionists and pharmacists as a barrier to implementation. Method: An investigator-developed online survey was used to assess the usefulness of 3 investigator-developed educational e-learning modules that encompassed the role of nurses in antibiotic stewardship, pharmacy and laboratory topics related to antimicrobial stewardship, as well as the nurses’ attitudes toward their participation in such activities. Results: Participants took the survey after review of the 3 e-learning modules. The results indicate that, contrary to what pharmacists and infection preventionists thought, 82% of nurses felt they should contribute to and be part of the antimicrobial stewardship team. Additionally, after completing the modules, 73% felt more empowered to participate in stewardship discussions with an additional 23% wanting more education. 100% felt that they learned information that they could utilize in their everyday work. Barriers to implementation of stewardship activities on their unit included lack of education (41%), hospital or unit culture (27%), with only 4% citing they did not feel it was their job or that they had anything to contribute to a discussion. Also, 24% felt that there were no obstacles to participation. Conclusions: Surprisingly, most nurses who took this educational series and survey felt that they should be part of the antibiotic stewardship team. As cited previously from the literature, education and culture need to be addressed to overcome the nurses’ barriers to stewardship involvement. E-learning can provide an easy first step to educating nurses when time permits and can provide a good springboard for discussion on the units and with physicians and pharmacists.
