This study aimed to determine the acculturation staff nurses who are non-CCMC (Cebu City Medical Center) graduates. The findings were basis for the enhancement of staff development program through fast track preceptorship. Specifically, it sought to answer the following queries: (1) what is the profile of the respondents as to age, gender, civil status, area of assignment, school graduated, and length of service; (2) what is the degree of acculturation of the respondents; (3) is there a significant relationship between the profile of the respondents and the degree of acculturation; (4) what can be proposed to enhance the staff development program?The research setting was Cebu City Medical Center Nursing Service Department in Cebu City, Cebu, Philippines. The respondents of the study were 70 staff nurses who were non-CCMC graduates. The researchers utilized a 20-item researcher-made questionnaire which were based on the CCMC rules and guidelines. The descriptive-correlational design was used.Majority of the respondents were 30-49 years old, female, and married. Most of them were assigned in the neonatal surgical care unit. Majority of the respondents graduated from the University of the Visayas, and has served CCMC for 1-5 years.The degree of acculturation of the respondents was high. However, there were three areas with low to moderate acculturation: reading of magazines during duty; use of mobile phones; and willingness to render 16 hours duty when the need arises. Only gender has a significant relationship to the degree of acculturation. This study proposed a two-week orientation program through fast track preceptorship to improve and enhance the degree and level of acculturation among non-CCMC graduate staff nurses.

All endeavors were devoted to investigate the views and feelings of stakeholders on the implementation of teachers’ professional development and its contribution to sustain academic programs quality at Adama University. A case study that constitutes qualitative and quantitative method was employed. In an attempt to achieve the objectives of the study, evidences were collected from students, staff members, professional development program coordinators, and management bodies. The data-collecting instruments for obtaining relevant information were questionnaires, interview, observation, and document analysis. The finding in relation to this study uncovers the fact that though continuous professional development has been perceived as the most useful avenue of teachers continuous and lifelong learning, for the most part, it is relegated to adhoc committees or interested group or institutional units in the system of university education/training. Moreover, the absence of PDP in the university organizational structure, clear mission and vision, defined and well-articulated policy, strategic plan, representatives in university senate meetings, adequate resources, well-identified and -preserved training facilities, and unit library were circumstances that in one way or another negatively affected the provision of effective professional development programs/trainings that may have adverse effect in the deliberation of quality education/training in Adama University.

Term Storage

Abstract Various information technology (IT) infrastructures for biobanking, networks of biobanks and biomaterial management are described in the literature. As pre-analytical variables play a major role in the downstream interpretation of clinical as well as research results, their documentation is essential. A description for mainly automated documentation of the complete life-cycle of each biospecimen is lacking so far. Here, the example taken is from the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG), where the workflow of liquid biomaterials is standardized between the central laboratory and the central biobank. The workflow of liquid biomaterials from sample withdrawal to long-term storage in a biobank was analyzed. Essential data such as time and temperature for processing and freezing can be automatically collected. The proposed solution involves only one major interface between the main IT systems of the laboratory and the biobank. It is key to talk to all the involved stakeholders to ensure a functional and accepted solution. Although IT components differ widely between clinics, the proposed way of documenting the complete life-cycle of each biospecimen can be transferred to other university medical centers. The complete documentation of the life-cycle of each biospecimen ensures a good interpretability of downstream routine as well as research results.

AbstractWith respect to the tremendous deficit in surgical care plaguing developing nations, it is critical that medical outreach models be organized in such a fashion that sustainable advancements can be durably imparted beyond the duration of targeted missions. Using a didactic framework focused on empowering host neurosurgeons with an enhanced surgical skillset, a mission was launched in Managua, Nicaragua, after previous success in Kiev, Ukraine, and Lima, Peru. Unfortunately, the failure to critically assess the internal and external state of affairs of the region’s medical center compromised the outreach mission. Herein lies the visiting team’s lessons from failure and insights on facilitating effective communication with host institutions, circumventing geopolitical instability, and utilizing digital collaboration and video-conferencing tools in the post-COVID-19 era to advance the surgical care of developing regions in a fashion that can be generationally felt.
