The current paper explored Experiential Learning standards, methodologies and techniques via designing a training programme and investigated its effect on IUG English majoring students in enhancing teaching performance cognition and in improving teaching speaking skill. The researchers followed the quasi-experimental approach with a one sample design of a pre-posttest. The Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test for two linked samples was used to test the differences in the means in the cognitive test before and after the application of the proposed programme based on EL. The researchers used an observation card for assessing female students' practices in teaching speaking skill according to ECRIF framework. They compared the sum of responses, means, std. deviation and the percentage weight and rank of each field to a criterion value. The results showed that there were statistically significant differences between the pre and post applications of the cognitive test in favor of the posttest. It was found that IUG English majoring students' performance of teaching speaking skill was above (80%).The paper concluded with the confirmation of the effectiveness of the proposed programme based on EL in enhancing the teaching performance cognition as well as improving the practices of teaching speaking skill for IUG English majoring students.

Background: There is an increasing amount of blood sample rejection at primary health care facilities (PHCFs), impacting negatively the staff, facility, patient and laboratory costs.Aim: The primary objective was to determine the rejection rate and reasons for blood sample rejection at four PHCFs before and after a phlebotomy training programme. The secondary objective was to determine whether phlebotomy training improved knowledge among primary health care providers (HCPs) and to develop a tool for blood sample acceptability.Study setting: Two community health centres (CHCs) and two community day centres (CDCs) in Cape Town.Methods: A quasi-experimental study design (before and after a phlebotomy training programme).Results: The sample rejection rate was 0.79% (n = 60) at CHC A, 1.13% (n = 45) at CHC B, 1.64% (n = 38) at CDC C and 1.36% (n = 8) at CDC D pre-training. The rejection rate remained approximately the same post-training (p > 0.05). The same phlebotomy questionnaire was administered pre- and post-training to HCPs. The average score increased from 63% (95% CI 6.97‒17.03) to 96% (95% CI 16.91‒20.09) at CHC A (p = 0.039), 58% (95% CI 9.09‒14.91) to 93% (95% CI 17.64‒18.76) at CHC B (p = 0.006), 60% (95% CI 8.84‒13.13) to 97% (95% CI 16.14‒19.29) at CDC C (p = 0.001) and 63% (95% CI 9.81‒13.33) to 97% (95% CI 18.08‒19.07) at CDC D (p = 0.001).Conclusion: There is no statistically significant improvement in the rejection rate of blood samples (p > 0.05) post-training despite knowledge improving in all HCPs (p < 0.05).

Background: Recently HIV epidemic in India was gradually escalating to low risk groups like adolescents. Focusing on adolescent empowerment is the strategy for obtaining their adherence to prevention of HIV/AIDS. Though anganwadi workers (AWWs) play a critical role in creating awareness on behaviour change in the community; also, they need an excellent knowledge on HIV/AIDS before creating awareness to the community. So, this study aimed to assess the knowledge on HIV/AIDS among adolescent girls and AWWs and also to determine the effectiveness of Participatory Training Program to AWWs in bringing improvements in the knowledge among adolescent girls.Methods: Present quasi-experimental study was conducted among adolescent girls ages 15 to 18 years at Serumavilangai Village, Karaikal, Puducherry during June-September 2018. AWWs from the selected village were included for participatory training program.Results: Total 86 adolescents participated the survey. Awareness regarding HIV/AIDS was only 40% before intervention. FGD among AWWs showed poor knowledge on HIV/AIDS. During intervention, AWWs were used as a medium for giving interventions, it was observed that there was a wide difference in their knowledge of adolescent girls before and after intervention (81.4%) on HIV/AIDS with statistical significance (0.03).Conclusions: Before intervention awareness on HIV/AIDS were lacking in both adolescent girls and AWWs. This shows a difficulty in accessing health information in rural India. Therefore, providing periodic training programme to AWWs as peer health educators for disseminating information on HIV/AIDS may bridge the gap by proving valid information’s to high risk groups in the community.

IntroductionThe maternal mortality ratio is decreasing globally, although it remains high in Malawi. Unsafe abortion is a major cause and treatment of complications after abortion is a big burden on the health system. Even though manual vacuum aspiration (MVA) is the recommended surgical treatment of incomplete abortions in the first trimester, many hospitals in Malawi continue to use sharp curettage. It is known to have more complications and is more expensive in the long run. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of a structured MVA training programme in the treatment of incomplete abortions in Malawi.MethodsA quasi-experimental before-and-after study design was employed in an MVA training programme for health personnel at three hospitals in Southern Malawi. A total of 53 health personnel at the Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital and the district hospitals of Chikwawa and Chiradzulu (intervention hospitals) were trained in the use of MVA. Kamuzu Central Hospital in Lilongwe and the Thyolo District Hospital served as control institutions. Medical files for all women treated for an incomplete abortion at the study hospitals were reviewed before and after the intervention. Information on demographic and obstetric data and the type of treatment was collected.ResultsThere was a significant increase in the use of MVA from 7.8% (95% CI 5.8 to 10.3) to 29.1% (95% CI 25.9 to 32.5) 1 year after the intervention. In comparison, we found a mere 3% increase in the control hospitals.ConclusionsBy providing a refresher training programme to health personnel who treat women with incomplete abortions, it was possible to increase the use of MVA as recommended in the Malawi national guidelines.

IntroductionThere is an evidence showing that when nurses have to allocate their time because of a lack of resources, older patients and especially those with dementia have a secondary care priority. The purpose of this study is to advance the level of knowledge, promote positive attitudes of nurses and reduce care deficits towards people with dementia through the implementation of a training programme. The programme will be enriched by an observational study of the care of patients with dementia to identify areas of missed care.Method and analysisThis study will follow a mixed methodology consisting of three stages: (1) evaluation of the level of nurses’ knowledge and attitudes towards dementia care through the use of structured questionnaires, (2) observational study to evaluate nursing care in hospital settings, in order to detect any missed care and (3) quasi-experimental study, with a before-and-after design, through the implementation of the training programme in order to increase nurses’ knowledge, improve attitudes and consequently to promote care for patients with dementia. The data will be analysed with descriptive and inferential statistics with the use of the SPSS V.24.0 and with content analysis as regard to the observational data.Ethics and disseminationThe protocol was approved by the National Bioethics committee and other local committees (ΕΕΒΚ: 2018.01.02). The participants will give their informed consent and the anonymity and confidentiality. Also, the protection of data will be respected. The results of the study will be disseminated in peer-reviewed international journals and conferences. If the intervention is successful, the training package will be given to the continuous education unit of the National Professional Association in order to be used on a regular basis.

The Virginia Henderson model, integrated in the computer application GACELA Care, helps to standardise the nursing assessment and establish precise and personalised nursing diagnoses. The aim was to determine the extent of completion of the initial patient assessment record after nurses following a training programme on nursing methodology. A quasi-experimental, retrospective, randomised, observational, single-group study was performed in two stages: pre-training and post-training. Voluntary training sessions were held for the nurses that work with GACELA Care. The completion of the initial patient assessment using the needs of Virginia Henderson and the Norton scale was evaluated before and after the training sessions. Completion of the needs of Virginia Henderson in the initial patient assessment increased from 94.2% to 100% (p = 0.014). Completion of “hygiene/skin” increased significantly from 83.3% to 95.8% (pre-training and post-training, respectively). The remaining needs did not show statistical significance. Recording of the Norton scale increased from 63.13% to 92.5% (p < 0.001). The training sessions on nursing methodology have improved the completion of records and inclusion of normal characteristics, defining characteristics and risk factors, and improving pressure ulcer risk assessment through the Norton scale.
