Potential Tool

In the framework that interdisciplinary projects could be a potential tool to improve learning processes in higher education, a teaching innovation experience was carried out. This study presents the didactic experience carried out between two first-year subjects of the Degree in Physical Activity and Sport Sciences. The experience consisted of designing and implementing a practice activity from an interdisciplinary approach and with the support of technological tools, such as the use of platforms, recordings and sports technique analysis software. The main aim of the present study was to assess such an experience according to students’ perception. The instrument used to assess such an interdisciplinary experience was a questionnaire of 17 items. The sample comprised 79 students who attended both subjects simultaneously. The reliability of the instrument is ensured according to Cronbach’s alpha (a = 0.903). The results of this study, as interdisciplinarity and organizational aspects, were highly assessed. The analysis of the survey also indicates that this interdisciplinary practice activity helped subjects to achieve a more meaningful level of both integrated and specific knowledge.

Essential Contribution

While palliative care is best delivered in an interdisciplinary format, courses teaching the interdisciplinary approach to palliative care are rare in healthcare education. This article describes a graduate-level course in palliative care for students in nursing, pharmacy, social work, and gerontology taught by faculty from each discipline. The overarching goals of this course are to convey core palliative care knowledge across disciplines, articulate the essential contribution of each discipline in collaborative care, and to define interdisciplinary processes learners need to understand and navigate interdisciplinary palliative care. Learning outcomes included increased knowledge in palliative care, enhanced attitudes in practice and application of skills to clinical practice settings, increased ability to contribute discipline-specific knowledge to their teams' discussions, and a sense of increasing confidence in participating in the care of complex patients, communicating with families, and contributing to the team as a member of their own discipline.

Study Techniques

As part of the ‘Maths Positive’ initiative in Cork Institute of Technology (CIT), Maths modules have been identified which are impacting negatively on student success and progression. It was discovered that a particular first year business Mathematics module in CIT was causing difficulties to some of the students involved. When several years of exam results were analysed for this module, it was discovered that some of the students repeatedly fail and get caught in a ‘Maths Loop’. In order to break this cycle, an intervention workshop was developed and piloted which sought to challenge the students to examine their own behaviour and mindset around Mathematics study. The workshop combined Academic Success Coaching with practical study techniques specific to the module. The feedback from participants was positive and we plan to expand this interdisciplinary approach in addressing other similar modules.

The Impact

Abstract BackgroundDuring the SARS-CoV-2/ COVID-19 pandemic, academic activities have been adjusted to include virtual components. The impact on student satisfaction with their medical education, especially in graduate programs, is unknown.MethodsThe Internal Medicine Department of the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana and the Hospital Universitario San Ignacio, in Bogotá (Colombia), converted multiple theoretical academic activities to virtual modality, and modified the practical activities using technological platforms that allow remote participation of residents or teachers. A survey was designed to evaluate the satisfaction of residents in relation to the theoretical and practical components, and the perception of change.Results48 residents responded the survey. > 72 % reported being partially or totally satisfied with the organization, content of the activities, interdisciplinary approach and opportunity to discuss topics for the theoretical activities. When evaluating the care activities, 21.9 % of the residents reported not being satisfied with the preparation that those activities give for clinical practice and professional life, and 31.3 % with the interdisciplinary approach, and time to discuss the cases. > 72.9 % were satisfied with the technological tools used. The level of perceived stress worsened for 62.5 %, and the opportunity to develop and practice skills worsened for 64.6 % of those surveyed.ConclusionsDespite the high satisfaction with the theoretical activities and the technological tools used, residents consider that the implementation of remote academic activities is associated with higher levels of stress and fewer opportunities to develop and practice clinical skills. New strategies are needed to improve practical components while maintaining social distancing.

BACKGROUND Consultation between General Practitioners (GPs) and hospital specialists can be challenging due to mutual unavailability and lack of interactive communication tools. By contrast, team-based case collaboration on a patient-centered network of healthcare professionals could facilitate communication and knowledge transfer. A digital interactive platform was developed to support this new way of collaboration. OBJECTIVE Purpose. To describe the development of the digital consultation platform (PRISMA) to connect general GPs with hospital specialists via the Siilo application and to evaluate the first year of use, including consultations, topic diversity, and number of participating physicians. METHODS Methods. We conducted a mixed-methods observational study, analyzing qualitative and quantitative data for cases posted on the platform between June 2018 and May 2020. Any GP can post questions to an interdisciplinary group of secondary care specialists, with the platform designed to facilitate discussion and knowledge exchange for all users. RESULTS Results. In total, 3674 cases were posted by 424 GPs across 16 specialisms. Most questions and answers concerned diagnosis, non-medical treatment, and medication. Mean response time was 76 minutes (range, 44–252). An average of three users engaged with each case (up to seven specialists). Almost half of the internal medicine cases received responses from at least two specialisms in secondary care, contrasting with about one-fifth for dermatology. Of note, the growth in consultations was steepest for dermatology. CONCLUSIONS Conclusions. Digital consultations offer the possibility for GPs to receive quick responses when seeking advice. The interdisciplinary approach of PRISMA creates opportunities for digital patient-centered networking. CLINICALTRIAL none

Future Of Nursing

Nurses have long attempted to secure a unique identity for the profession. Many scholars are now promoting an interdisciplinary framework for nursing practice. Fawcett is convinced that interdisciplinary practice poses a danger for nursing to lose its identity and that interdisciplinary practice cannot be successful if members of each discipline do not understand the conceptual models, practice, and research of their own discipline. Dr. Janie Butts and Dr. Karen Rich interviewed Dr. Jacqueline Fawcett about her views related to discipline-specific knowledge and nursing’s future. The authors conclude that Fawcett’s scientific foundation gives nursing the solidarity and power necessary to determine the unique internal goods of its practice.

Work on transversal competences in university degrees is a teaching line entirely established since the implementation of the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS). Nevertheless, undergraduate students present shortcomings in the development of some of these competences, especially on collaborative work, time management, oral and writing expression, and on the use of information resources.This paper presents a virtual tool and associated guidelines to enhance the information management during the development of collaborative works, and to facilitate the information availability among the students. Moreover, this tool and the guideline improve the individual monitoring and evaluation of the contributions of the students to the work.The proposal presented in this work belongs to a teaching innovation project carried out in the Earth Sciences Faculty of the Universitat de Barcelona, and implemented in the subjects General Geology (first-year in the Engineering Geology degree, 6 ECTS) and Geochemistry (third-year course in the Geology degree, 9 ECTS).

AbstractThere have been multiple calls made in the sport science literature for the promotion of interdisciplinarity to progress some of sports’ most prevailing challenges. Designing practice environments that support learning represents one such challenge, particularly given contemporary perspectives of skill acquisition and motor learning calls for coaches to realign their role—progressing toward the designers of practice tasks that promote athlete-environment interactions. In doing so, performers learn through exploration, deepening a relationship with their performance environment as they solve problems based on changing and interacting constraints. This paper illustrates an interdisciplinary approach to the area of learning through sport practice by adapting established principles embedded in video game designs. Specifically, 13 principles common to good video game designs are described, with practical examples of each provided across different sports. Fundamentally, this paper aims to offer sports practitioners with an overview and application of key principles that could support learning by design. Beyond this, the ideas presented here should further illustrate the value of interdisciplinarity in sports research and practice.
