The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) allowed to adopt that new of 'functioning', which refers to bodily structures and functions, activity and participation and interaction between these and personal and environmental factors.The model is increasingly becoming the reference for the planning/organization of inclusive interventions, in Europe and in the Italian schools: it has been one of the main topics (l. 107/2015) in the last three-year Italian teacher training plan. The work presents procedures the early results of three professionaltraining courses evaluation (2017-2019). The courses involved 73in-service teachers and aimed to enhance the design skills of Individualized Education Plan (IEP) on ICF model. According to the Kirkpatrick Model,the evaluation has been conducted on the teachers’ ‘learnings’ and ‘transfer’ detected through pre-post test and a document analysis of the IEP. The study highlighted few linguistic and semantic difficulties and a better teachers’ sensitivity to the environmental component of the functioning. It offers some useful hints for the construction of a possible trans-national platform (as sharing of practices, data-base)about the training of school teachers on ICF bio-psychosocial model, as well as arguments regarding the tools for verifying the effectiveness of teachers training interventions.

Abstract Background The core competency of patient-centered care (PCC) states that for positive patient outcomes, the provider must respect the patient’s views and recognize their experiences. The Athletic Training Strategic Alliance Research Agenda Task Force identified a profession-wide belief that examining the extent to which athletic trainers (ATs) provide PCC in their clinical practice would benefit the profession. To first address this line of inquiry, we must study the subjectivity of how ATs view PCC. Methods We used Q methodology to allow participants to share their viewpoints while simultaneously exploring the study aim from a quantitative and qualitative perspective. A total of 115 (males = 62, females = 53, age = 37 ± 10 y, experience = 13 ± 10 y) ATs dispersed between 11 job settings volunteered for this study. Participants were asked to pre-sort (agree, disagree, neutral) 36 validated statements representing the 8 dimensions of PCC. The participants completed a Q-sort where they dragged-and-dropped the pre-sorted statements based on perceived importance in providing PCC. The Q-sorts were analyzed using QMethod software. A principal component analysis was used to identify statement rankings and factors. Factors were determined by an Eigenvalue > 1 and analyzed using a scree plot. The 6 highest selected statements per factor were assessed to create the distinguishing viewpoints. Results Two distinguishing viewpoints emerged from the Q-sorts. The statement “ATs treat patients with dignity and respect” appeared as a high ranked statement in both distinguishing viewpoints. The lowest ranked statement from viewpoint 1 was “ATs integrate the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) model as a framework for delivery of patient care.” The lowest ranked statement from viewpoint 2 was “Appointment scheduling is easy.” Conclusions ATs value patient’s preferences. However, a lack of importance was identified for incorporating the ICF model, which is a core competency and adopted framework by the NATA since 2015.

IntroductionNursing is a worldwide growing but still underdeveloped health technology assessment (HTA) field. A systematic overview about the current trends in HTA and nursing would shed some light on the issues of (i) the HTA base in this sector, and (ii) outcomes addressed with the interventions and technologies.MethodsWe conducted a scoping review using the National Health Service (NHS) Centre for Reviews and Dissemination HTA database, including all abstracts of HTA reports related to nursing. To systemize the interventions and technologies assessed in the HTA reports, we designed an International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) Map connecting the targeted healthcare outcomes with the components of the ICF Classification.ResultsWe identified seventy-eight HTA reports related to nursing care, published between the years 1992 and 2018. Overall, forty-four reports did not outline any particular outcome and had to be categorized as unclear. The remaining thirty-four reports addressed three ICF components (body functions, activities/ participation, environmental factors) with sixty-eight ICF content categories. Frequent ICF contents were services, systems and policies (code e5, n = 15), cardiovascular/ respiratory functions (code b4, n = 10), mental functions (code b1, n = 7), digestive functions (code b5, n = 7), domestic life (code d6, n = 7), and sensory functions/ pain (b2, n = 6). Six HTA reports evaluated interventions/ technologies with presumed effects on at least four ICF content categories from two ICF components.ConclusionsHTA in the field of nursing is often complex, including multicomponent approaches and a wide range of potential outcomes relevant for the HTA assessment. The ICF model might be useful to support a more streamlined understanding of complex interventions in this sector. Furthermore, reports might benefit from linking the ICF Classification with HTA, especially for the assessment of complex interventions.

PROBLEM BASED LEARNING STRATEGIES TO ENHANCE THE CREATIVITY OF BIOLOGICAL TEACHERS IN DEVELOPING PROPS                                                         AbstractBiology teachers need to be creative to create their own props to be able to perform active learning in the laboratory. This study used problem-based strategy to improve the teacher's ability to identify learning problems with regards of lacking tools and materials and to improve teachers ' ability to design and create their own props. Using pre- and post-test design, this study was conducted during teachers training session. The results showed that teachers demonstrated creative attitude in designing props. Teachers can also produce feasible props to be used with their students. After finishing the training, the teachers also showed a positive response to all aspects of creativity. In addition, teachers showed a significant increase in the mastery of concept related to topic taught (α = 0.05) compared to the initial implementation of training. AbstrakSaat ini guru biologi perlu kreatif untuk membuat alat peraga sendiri untuk dapat melaksanakan pembelajaran aktif di laboratorium. Oleh karena itu, kajian ini dilakukan untuk: 1) meningkatkan kemampuan guru dalam mengidentifikasi permasalahan kurangnya alat dan bahan di laboratorium; serta 2) meningkatkan kemampuan guru dalam mendesain dan membuat alat peraga sendiri. Dalam rangka mencapai tujuan tersebut dilakukan diklat dengan menggunakan strategi problem based learning. Data yang diperoleh dalam kajian diklat ini adalah penguasaan konsep melalui instrumen tes, kreativitas guru dalam mendesain alat peraga melalui penilaian dokumen desain, sikap kreatif dan respons guru melalui kuesioner, dan penilaian alat peraga melalui penilaian produk. Analisis setiap data dilakukan secara deskriptif kuantitatif. Hasil kajian ini menunjukkan bahwa penguasaan konsep guru di akhir meningkat signifikan (α = 0,05) dibandingkan pada saat awal pelaksanaan diklat. Selain itu, guru menunjukkan sikap kreatif dan kreativitas yang baik dalam mendesain alat peraga dan LKS. Guru juga dapat menghasilkan alat peraga yang layak digunakan siswanya. Setelah selesai pelaksanaan diklat, guru juga menunjukkan respons positif terhadap semua aspek.

Syme Amputation

Background: In the decision-making process toward an amputation of the lower extremity, knowledge about patient-related outcomes after amputation and rehabilitation is important. We have not found a systematic review that provides this knowledge for Syme amputation. The aim of this study was to present an overview of outcomes after a Syme amputation grouped according to the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) model, focusing on body structures and functions, activities, and participation. Methods: A systematic literature search was performed. Included studies went through 2 selection procedures by 2 independent assessors. Included were all studies concerning Syme amputation with patient-related outcomes. Results: Thirty-six studies were included for data extraction, concerning 1056 patients (238 children and 818 adults). Heel pad migration was reported in 49 of 176 (28%), skin problems in 23 of 128 (18%), and bone problems in 42 of 145 (29%) children. No reamputations were reported. All children were fitted with a prosthesis, and 62 of 90 (69%) children participated in sports. Skin problems were reported in 35 of 195 (18%), ulceration or infection in 120 of 512 (23%), residual limb pain in 46 of 181 (25%), and reamputations in 180 of 919 (20%) adults. In total, 247 of 363 (68%) adults were fitted with a prosthesis. Walking aids were used by 45 of 135 (33%) adults. Employment status was unchanged in 147 of 209 (72%) adults. Conclusion: In children, no reamputations were necessary and few complications were reported, with good participation in daily life in the majority of children. In adults, more complications and reamputations were reported; nevertheless, most adult amputees became successful prosthesis users. Level of Evidence: Therapeutic Level III, systematic review containing retrospective cohort studies.

Bioethics helps define the values and guidelines governing decision making in health profession practice. Teaching ethics to medical students demand teachers trained in bioethics. With this aim, “Teachers Training Workshop on Bioethics” was arranged with the objective to get feedback from the participants on effectiveness of bioethics teaching. Twelve faculty members participated in four days Teachers Training Workshop on Bioethics during Dec 27-30, 2016, at Patan Academy of Health Sciences, Nepal. Sixteen thematic topics were chosen from UNESCO Bioethics Core Curriculum. There were four rounds of presentations, and each round had four topics. Small group discussions, presentations and case scenarios were main methods used in the training. Written feedback was taken on semi-structured questionnaire with items- four closed ended and three open ended. Descriptive analysis was done.  The level of confidence of the participants after participation in training workshop enhanced for teaching Bioethics, taking ethical decision and resolving ethical dilemma. As per participants open ended responses, “Active participation of the participants” and “Interactive sessions” were good points whereas “More references required, not only of UNESCO curriculum” was the area for improvement. The training enhanced overall confidence level of the participants.

AbstractThe WHO’s (2001) International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) model conceptualizes health from an ecological perspective. It has been implemented by many professionals as the standard health classification framework that guides providers’ decisions regarding assessment tools and targeted interventions. Despite this model’s prevalence among many healthcare providers, the ICF framework remains largely underutilized by many in the counseling fields. This conceptual paper provides an overview of the strengths of the ICF model and ICF-based measurements, and demonstrates its clinical, research, and educational value. A case study is presented to guide counselors and counselor educators through application of the ICF model in various contexts to encourage expanded use of the model. Use of the ICF model among counseling professionals, educators, and researchers is recommended as one way to enhance measurement of clinical outcomes.
