<p>Introduction: Although the importance of EMT students utilizing critical listening skills is apparent, there is little research focused on EMT students or EMTs and critical listening. Ensuring EMT students develop critical listening skills can be an asset that reaches beyond the goal of improving their education. It also has the potential to improve the quality of care they go on to deliver. EMTs may have the only verbal contact with the patient while they are still conscious, or with bystanders that witnessed the incident, or family members/health aides that can give vitally important information on the patient’s condition. If an EMT is not adept at critical listening, vital information may be lost, and the repercussions can be serious. This project was designed to determine whether EMT student critical listening ability and class performance would improve from engaging in critical listening exercises.</p><p>Methods:  Critical listening exercises were emphasized during an EMT course by assessing student knowledge of the Patient Assessment module through two listening exercises modelled after the <em>Ferrari, Lynch, and Vogel Listening Test </em>that measures for critical listening skills. The Patient Assessment module was assessed twice within four weeks in a test-retest design.</p><p>Results: The data analysis of a total of <em>n</em> = 51 students’ performance in the pre and post-assessments yielded positive results and showed students significantly improved their listening ability within the four-week period.  An overall score increase of 34.50 % was found between the pre and the post assessment results. Moreover, the data analysis showed that as the result of the listening exercises, students scored significantly higher in the section of the certifying exam that included critical listening exercises than in all other sections.</p><p>Conclusion: The results suggest performing critical listening exercises and assessments can help EMT students properly develop critical listening skills and improve performance.</p>

Abstract Background: The Patient Assessment of Chronic Illness Care (PACIC) scale is the most appropriate for assessing self-reported experience in chronic care. However, it has yet to be validated in a Danish diabetes population. We aimed to validate the PACIC, assess the quality of care for Danish patients with type 2 diabetes, and identify factors associated with quality of care. Methods: A survey of 7,745 individuals randomly selected from the National Diabetes Registry. Descriptive statistics inter-item and item-rest correlations and factor analysis assessed the PACIC properties. Quality of care was analysed with descriptive statistics; linear and multiple regression assessed the effect of forty-nine covariates on total and subscale scores. Results: In total, 2,696 individuals with type 2 diabetes completed ≥ 50% of items. The floor effect for individual items was 8.5-74.5%; the ceiling effect was 4.1- 47.8 %. Cronbach’s alpha was 0.73-0.86 for the five subscales. The comparative fit index (CFI) and the Tucker–Lewis index (TLI) were 0,87, and 0,84, respectively. Mean PACIC score was 2.44 (± 0.04). Respondents receiving rehabilitation and reporting primary of diabetes care had higher total mean scores; those 70 years or older had lower mean total and subscale scores. A higher number of diabetes visits were associated with higher total scores; higher number of emergency department visits were associated with lower total scores. The effect of healthcare utilisation on subscale scores varied. Conclusions: Floor effects suggest a need for further evaluation of the PACIC questionnaire in Danish settings. Total PACIC scores were lower than in other healthcare systems, possibly being a result of different contexts and cultures, and of a need for improving diabetes care in Denmark.

The Impact

There is evidence for a team-based approach in the management of chronic disease in primary health care. However, the standard of care is variable, probably reflecting the limited organisational capacity of health services to provide the necessary structured and organised care for this group of patients. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of a structured intervention involving non-GP staff in GP practices on the quality of care for patients with diabetes or cardiovascular disease. A cluster randomised trial was undertaken across 60 GP practices. The intervention was implemented in 30 practices with staff and patients interviewed at baseline and at 12–15 months follow up. The change in team roles was evaluated using a questionnaire completed by practice staff. The quality of care was evaluated using the Patient Assessment of Chronic Illness Care questionnaire. We found that although the team roles of staff improved in the intervention practices and there were significant differences between practices, there was no significant difference between those in the intervention and control groups in patient-assessed quality of care after adjusting for baseline-level score and covariates at the 12-month follow up. Practice team roles were not significantly associated with change in Patient Assessment of Chronic Illness Care scores. Patients with multiple conditions were more likely to assess their quality of care to be better. Thus, although previous research has shown a cross-sectional association between team work and quality of care, we were unable to replicate these findings in the present study. These results may be indicative of insufficient time for organisational change to result in improved patient-assessed quality of care, or because non-GP staff roles were not sufficiently focussed on the aspects of care assessed. The findings provide important information for researchers when designing similar studies.

Abstract Background The Patient Assessment of Chronic Illness Care (PACIC) scale is the most appropriate for assessing self-reported experience in chronic care. We aimed to validate the PACIC questionnaire by (1) assess patients’ perception of the quality of care for Danish patients with type 2 diabetes, (2) identify which factors are most important to the quality of care designated by the five subscales in PACIC, and (3) the validity of the questionnaire. Methods A survey of 7,745 individuals randomly selected from the National Diabetes Registry. Descriptive statistics inter-item and item-rest correlations and factor analysis assessed the PACIC properties. Quality of care was analysed with descriptive statistics; linear and multiple regression assessed the effect of forty-nine covariates on total and subscale scores. Results In total, 2,696 individuals with type 2 diabetes completed ≥ 50 % of items. The floor effect for individual items was 8.5–74.5 %; the ceiling effect was 4.1–47.8 %. Cronbach’s alpha was 0.73–0.86 for the five subscales. The comparative fit index (CFI) and the Tucker–Lewis index (TLI) were 0,87, and 0,84, respectively. Mean PACIC score was 2.44 (± 0.04). Respondents, who receive diabetes care primarily at general practice and outpatient clinics had higher scores compared to those receiving care at a private specialist. Receiving rehabilitation was followed by higher scores in all subscales. Those 70 years or older had lower mean total and subscale scores compared to younger patient groups. A higher number of diabetes visits were associated with higher total scores; a higher number of emergency department visits were associated with lower total scores. The effects of healthcare utilisation on subscale scores varied. Conclusions These results provide insight into variations in the quality of provided care and can be used for targeting initiatives towards improving diabetes care. Factors important to the quality of perceived care are having a GP or hospital outpatient clinic as the primary organization. Also having a higher number of visits to the two organizations are perceived as higher quality of care as well as participating in a rehabilitation program. Floor and ceiling effects were comparable to an evaluation of the PACIC questionnaire in a Danish population. Yet, floor effects suggest a need for further evaluation and possible improvement of the PACIC questionnaire in a Danish setting. Total PACIC scores were lower than in other healthcare systems, possible being a result of different contexts and cultures, and of a need for improving diabetes care in Denmark.
