Athletic Training Students Demonstrate Supplemental Oxygen Administration Skill Decay, but Retain Knowledge Over Six Months
Authors: Berry David , Popp Jennifer
Published: September 2021

Purpose: Research suggests skill decay occurs with emergency skills, such as supplemental oxygen administration (OA), since the frequency of medical emergencies in clinical settings is low. Identifying the presence and timeline for skill decay allows educators to employ strategies to prevent this occurrence. Therefore, this study evaluated retention of knowledge and clinical skills associated with supplemental oxygen administration, specifically nasal cannula (NC) and non-rebreather mask (NrM) usage in professional athletic training students. Methods: Cross-sectional study. Twenty-nine athletic training students (males=11, females=18; age=21.03+1.38) enrolled in a Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE)-accredited professional athletic training programs. Participants’ supplemental oxygen administration knowledge and skills was assessed five times (baseline-T4). The baseline assessment was followed by an educational review session. Participants’ knowledge and skills were re-assessed (T1) and then randomly assigned to two groups. The experimental group’s supplemental oxygen administration knowledge and skills were re-evaluated at 1-month (T2), 3-months (T3), and 6-months (T4). The control at 6-months (T4). Results: Analysis revealed no significant differences between the groups on knowledge (F2,54=.15, P=.86) and overall clinical skills (F2,54=1.52, P=.23). A significant main effect for time on knowledge (F2,54=65.30, P1.89,50.98=112.55, P1.55,41.88=108.03, P Conclusions: Both groups retained supplemental oxygen administration knowledge over 6-months. Conversely, nasal cannula and non-rebreather mask skills decayed from review session to 6-month follow-up. Regular rehearsal and practice of acute care clinical skills should be integrated into educational programs to avoid decay of skills. Since these skills are not frequently utilized in the clinical education environment, integrating opportunities to practice these skills to maintain the competence level of students and prepare them for clinical practice is warranted.
Education on Fall Prevention to Improve Self-Efficacy of Nursing Staff in Long Term Care: a Pilot Study
Authors: Leverenz Mark , Lape Jennifer
Published: September 2021

Purpose: Fall prevention is an ongoing concern in long-term care. Self-efficacy of nursing staff affects their performance levels related to fall prevention. Research concerning falls in the elderly is plentiful but there are no published studies addressing self-efficacy of nursing staff for implementation of fall prevention strategies in long-term care. The authors hypothesize that fall prevention education by an occupational therapist would be effective to improve the self-efficacy of nursing staff for implementation of fall prevention strategies and self-efficacy to prevent resident falls. Method: A pre-test post-test pilot study implementing a five-week, multifaceted, fall prevention education course was conducted by an occupational therapist. The SEPF-A and SEPF-N were administered to the nursing staff respective of their professional licensure to assess falls self-efficacy before and after the course. Results: Eight participants (6 certified nursing assistants & 2 nurses) completed the course. A statistically significant improvement (p = .043, a = .05) in falls self-efficacy was noted for the nursing assistants. Following training, there was a 40% increase in the SEPF-A and a 67% increase in the SEPF-N indicating an improvement in self-efficacy related to falls. Conclusion: Fall prevention training by a licensed expert may be an effective approach to increase self-efficacy of nursing staff for implementation of fall prevention strategies and for prevention of resident falls in long-term care.

Authors: Hawkins Susan , Goreczny Anthony , Brown Nicole
Published: September 2021

Purpose: The impact of prior problem-based learning (PBL) facilitation experience (measured by length of time facilitating) on student learning and student outcomes is unclear. The purpose of this study was to evaluate relationships of facilitator experience in problem-based learning on student outcomes. This study utilized both modified essay questions (MEQ) in the form of patient management assessments and multiple choice question (MCQ) assessments to evaluate different aspects of student acquisition and application of knowledge. Method: This study examined scores from six multiple choice question examinations and six patient management assessments (PMA), one each from six 5-week units arranged by organ system administered to five cohorts of first-year physician assistant students in a hybrid problem-based learning program where 18 of 45 didactic credits are solely problem-based learning. Facilitation experience, measured in total number of prior units facilitated, was calculated for each facilitator and compared with student evaluative measures. Results: Pearson product moment correlations comparing facilitator experience and scores on the patient management assessments and multiple choice question tests showed no statistically significant correlations between facilitator experience and student outcomes. Univariate analysis of variance tests comparing whether faculty were full-time versus adjunct status and status as graduates of a problem-based learning program versus graduates of programs with other pedagogies with student outcomes showed no statistically significant differences. Conclusions: Neither experience of the facilitator, nor status as full-time versus adjunct, nor status as graduate of a problem-based learning program versus other pedagogy was related to student outcomes. Each facilitator in the study participated in training, observation, and weekly meetings, which may outweigh the effects of facilitator experience. Other factors in need of exploration related to student outcomes in future studies include individual intellectual ability, emotional stability, motivation, self-efficacy, and perseverance.

Authors: Becker Betsy , Rutt Kelsey , Huntley Allyson , Sayles Harlan , Michael Kim
Published: September 2021

Background & Purpose: Distance education (DE) is a means to meet allied health workforce needs in rural locations where healthcare worker shortages are apparent. Five allied health programs were expanded to a rural campus teaching synchronously using distance education technology. The purpose of this convergent parallel mixed methods study was to explore perceptions of allied health students and faculty at two campus locations. Methods: Quantitative and qualitative information were collected through a survey of students and faculty (physical therapy, physician assistant, and medical imaging [diagnostic medical sonography, radiography, magnetic resonance imaging] programs). Both campuses served as live and distance sites depending on instructor location and area of content expertise. For example, morning courses may be taught live from one campus, and afternoon classes taught live from the other campus. Only one program, physical therapy, offered labs by distance education. Response distributions were compared for questions by campus using Cochran-Armitage trend tests and analyzed de-identified qualitative comments using constant comparisons to establish themes. Results: Student (n=121) and faculty (n=19) mostly agreed distance education technology was effective for teaching and learning. Significant differences were found in student opinions about receiving a similar educational experience between the two campuses. More students at the Main campus somewhat or strongly disagreed (n=34, 37%) it was similar compared to the Rural campus (n= 5, 17%, p=0.024). There were no comments specifically related to the physical therapy lab experience. Open-ended comment themes included training, purposeful engagement of both campus locations, and setting clear expectations. Conclusions: Although differences in learning experiences exist between the main and rural campus locations; the results indicated using distance education technology is an effective means to deliver the curriculum. Both students and faculty commented about the lack of experience with the educational technology before implementation. Synchronous, distance education offers the opportunity for program expansion and effective delivery of curriculum content. Using the results of this study can enhance future education in allied health professions using synchronous distance education technology.
The Public's Perceptions of a Cafe within the Social and Physical Context of a Residential Aged Care Facility
Authors: Andrew Alexa
Published: September 2021

Background: The publics’ perceptions of aged care residential facilities (ACRF’s) are generally derogatory in nature; with terms such as the ‘end of the road’ or ‘the last resort’ being used to describe them. The institutional design and nature of the traditional ‘nursing home’ has contributed to such a perception. However, more contemporary models of residential aged care facilities are encompassing design features which aim to enhance the physical and social environment and therefore the lives of the older people residing within them. Purpose: This research reports on the inclusion of a café in the foyer of an aged care residential which is open to the public. Members of the public who use the café were interviewed. Methods: This research project utilised qualitative inquiry of a descriptive nature. Data was gathered through semi-structured interviews; seven participants were interviewed. Data analysis to establish themes utilised coding. Findings: The perceptions of members of the public who use the café is presented according to three major themes; place and purpose, people and relationships and community exposure and perceptions. The café is perceived, by the participants of this research project, as a place to go in the local community which was appreciated for its familiarity, pleasant surroundings and the quality of its service. Interactions between staff and residents were observed as caring and participants reflected that the staff were personally invested in their work. Visiting this café has challenged the notion that ACRF’s are closed off institutional places and the environment was described as open and inviting. The interaction between the community and the ACRF was discussed the benefits for the residents and for themselves were identified. Participants described a developing affiliation and connection between the facility and themselves and this prompted reflection about their own future residential needs. Conclusion: This café has opened a door between the ACRF and the local community. Members of the public who visit the café are able to observe, interact and make connections within the residential care environment. Perceptions about the nature of aged care facilities have been challenged and reflection about future residential care needs has occurred.
“It’s the story”: Online Animated Simulation of Cultural Competence of Poverty -- A Pilot Study
Authors: Johnson Kimberly , Fleck Melissa , Pantazes Thomas
Published: September 2021

Purpose: In this pilot study, researchers explore an online animated simulation as an educational tool for emerging health professionals to promote cultural competence of poverty, food insecurity, and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.Methods: Researchers recruited participants in the allied health sciences for focus groups to explore the effectiveness of an online animation in promoting cultural competence of poverty, food insecurity, and public assistance programs. Participants were asked about their experience with the educational tool and changes in cultural competence regarding poverty, food insecurity, and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. Participants also responded to five survey questions about their experience of the educational tool and cultural competence of poverty. Transcripts from focus groups were coded according to the five constructs of the Campinha-Bacote model for cultural competence, and further coded for recurring themes within these constructs. Results: Eleven participants across four allied health professions including nutrition, occupational therapy, nursing and pre-physical therapy participated in two focus groups. Researchers found all five constructs of the Campinha-Bacote model in analysis of focus group transcripts, with awareness and desire expressed more frequently and intensely. Participants stated the animated simulation increased their empathy for people who experience poverty, food insecurity and who need public assistance programs. Conclusion: Researchers find that this online animated simulation was an effective tool to improve cultural competence of poverty for emerging healthcare professionals. Use of similar animations by educators of healthcare professionals may also change existing negative views towards those who rely on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits and reduce the barrier of stigma associated with the program.
A Community-dwelling Older Adult with Concurrent Human Immunodeficiency Virus, Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus and Peripheral Neuropathy: A Case Report.
Authors: Kohl Kevin , Ferguson Tara , O'Malley Shane , Struessel Tamara
Published: September 2021

Background: Peripheral neuropathy (PN) may be idiopathic, iatrogenic, or be caused by any number of chronic diseases such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM1). PN is of particular interest to physical therapists, because it contributes to an individual’s risk of falling. Purpose: (1) To describe a community-dwelling older adult with HIV, DM1, PN, and neurotoxic medication use (2) Highlight the pathophysiology of each diagnoses and resulting neuropathy and describe their effect on clinical decision-making when they are both present. Case Description: A seventy-two year-old man presented to outpatient physical therapy with PN and concurrent HIV and DM1. Physical examination identified decreased somatosensation and proprioception amongst other findings. Based on Functional Reach Test (FRT) and the Activities-Specific Balance Confidence Scale (ABC) fall risk cutoff scores, he was at risk of falling. Due to his PN, he was hindered in his ability to maintain balance in low-light situations, traverse stairs with objects in hand, and navigate crowded spaces while traveling and taking photographs. Intervention included balance-challenging neuromotor exercises, progressing in difficulty, and including static, dynamic, anticipatory, and reactive balance interventions. Outcomes: Despite chronic health conditions, the patient experienced meaningful improvements in balance ability and balance confidence. Over 5 sessions of physical therapy in 7 weeks, he improved his scores and was no longer a fall risk on the FRT and ABC. Discussion: PN may be the result of a single diagnosis, or multiple concurrent diagnoses. Studies are much more likely to include individuals with PN from a single source, as opposed to multiple concurrent diagnoses. In the presence of multiple etiologies, it is difficult to determine the best physical therapy intervention approach. Areas for future research may take two directions: (1) Including patients with coexisting conditions in trials (2) Stratification with very clear description of diagnoses in studies seeking optimal examination and intervention approaches. Conclusion: In the absence of clearer guidelines and stratification, an understanding of pathophysiology, patient goals and expectations, and preliminary published evidence should be used to develop an individualized approach to evaluating and treating individuals with PN.

Authors: Perreault Melanie , Brown Christopher , Doan Robert , Dolbow David
Published: September 2021

Purpose: The amount of information required for an allied health professional has increased dramatically. In-class practice time and large amounts of practice materials may be difficult for instructors to acquire. Mental practice is a method of practice that does not involve physical movement or materials. This study investigated the effect of mental practice, physical practice, and a combination of mental and physical practice on kinesiology students learning three manual muscle tests. Method: Fifty-six students aged 18 to 26 years (M = 20.09, SD + 1.58), pursuing a degree in kinesiology with an emphasis in either athletic training or kinesiotherapy participated in this study. Participants underwent two days of practice that included either mental practice, physical practice, or a combination of mental and physical practice for three Manual Muscle Tests (MMTs). Approximately 48 hours later, participants completed a post-test of the MMTs that was evaluated by two trained examiners. Participants also completed a survey related to demographics, difficulty of the MMTs, and intentions for using mental practice. Results: The MMT post-test ANOVA revealed no significant learning differences between groups for all three Manual Muscle Tests. There were no significant differences in Manual Muscle Tests difficulty ratings between groups; however, there was a significant difference in participants’ difficulty ratings across the Manual Muscle Tests. A majority of participants indicated they would use mental practice in the future. Conclusions: The results indicated that kinesiology students seemed to learn equally well regardless of practice type. Utilization of mental practice in or outside of the classroom may be a strategy to supplement student learning in situations where class time and/or resources for physical skill practice may be more difficult to obtain.

Authors: Buckerfield Scott , Braithwaite Felicity , Walters Julie , McEvoy Maureen
Published: September 2021

Purpose: Allied health student clinics are growing in number and scope, providing a potential untapped avenue for clinical research. The aim of this pilot study was to assess the feasibility of conducting a longitudinal research study over four sessions in a student physiotherapy clinic under the supervision of registered physiotherapists as clinical educators. Method: This feasibility study gathered data on recruitment in a designated time period, attendance rates and adherence of participants to the treatment, with evaluation also of the acceptability of the entire protocol to participants (patients, students, clinical educators) and to the research team. Results: Data were collected over 12 weeks. Surveys providing feedback on the acceptability of the study protocol were completed by six of the 18 patients, nine of the 12 students, and four of the seven clinical educators. All patient participants felt that the student clinic was an appropriate research site and none considered the study protocol disruptive or intrusive of their time. Students reported that the study protocol did not increase their workload or impose major barriers to treatment or building rapport with patients. Conclusion: While conducting research in a student clinic is feasible, the setting may be more appropriate for cross-sectional studies. Student engagement and educational value could be maximised by integrating the research into curriculum.

Published: September 2021

Background: Effective fall prevention practices are essential for reducing falls among older adults. Rehabilitation professionals like physiotherapists are essential members of the fall prevention team, yet little is known about the experiences of physiotherapists practicing fall prevention in developing nations. Objective: To explore the experiences of physiotherapists in Nigeria who practice fall prevention among older adults. Method: We adopted a phenomenological approach to the traditional qualitative design in this study. We purposefully selected and conducted face-to-face interview with twelve physiotherapists who have treated at least one older adult who reported falling two or three times within last six months. Data was analyzed using thematic analysis. Results: Four themes emerged from our participants: characteristics of recurrent fallers, fall prevention practices, hindrances to fall prevention, and strategies to promote fall prevention practices. In practice, understanding the characteristics (risk factors) of older adults with a history of recurrent falls is important for effective fall prevention practices among physiotherapists. Among other characteristics, our participants believed that older adults who have patronized “traditional bone setters/healer” are at the higher risk of having multiple falls. Conclusion: This study adds to the sparse amount of literature concerning the experience of physiotherapist in fall prevention practices in the developing world. More importantly, the findings of this study will strengthen or stimulate discussion around development of fall prevention strategies specific to the developing world context.

El Perú es uno de los países más megadiversos del mundo esto significa una fuente increíble de riqueza, medio de subsistencia y de seguridad alimentaria para la población, que desarrolla en muchos aspectos prácticas de consumo y producción poco responsable, el escenario de Pandemia mantuvo a la población confinada por varios meses debido a las medidas adoptadas por el gobierno, la biodiversidad se vio recuperada como una clara demostración de cómo estamos impactando con nuestro comportamiento al entorno natural. Aun así, encuestas en el país indican que nueve de cada diez peruanos quieren que su vida sea distinta a lo que era antes de la pandemia además se reconoce que una empresa hoy en día necesita una manera de contribuir a la sociedad, de lo contrario a la larga no va a durar, porque el consumidor se lo va a reclamar. Es evidente entonces que hay mercado para el desarrollo de emprendimientos sostenibles y rentables que desarrollen nuevas propuestas de valor a partir de lo biodiverso del país y la conciencia de las nuevas generaciones de consumidores, aprovechando oportunidades como el incremento del comercio electrónico. Y es que ante un suceso global como el de la Pandemia, cobra aún mayor relevancia el hecho de preservar la biodiversidad, estos esfuerzos de convivencia en un ecosistema saludable, es nuestra esperanza o si queremos verlo de otra forma nuestra garantía para una sociedad más saludable, con menos epidemias, mejor nutrida, más resiliente y capaz de encontrar un desarrollo equilibrado y sostenible.

Gelagat Berparlimen Pasca-Rejim Autoritarian: Satu Tinjauan Awal dalam Politik Malaysia
Authors: Azlan Ariff Aizuddin , Abdul Razak Shahidah , Rosli Zouhair Mohd
Published: September 2021

Perspektif konvensional memposisikan Parlimen itu sebagai satu sumber yang signifikan untuk proses penyuburan demokrasi setempat dan kewujudan Parlimen itu membawa kepada satu andaian bahawa sememangnya proses pengukuhan demokrasi itu tidak asing dan ia bergantung kepada aspek-aspek keberfungsian sesuatu institusi itu dan juga jenis sistem politik yang diterapkan. Justeru itu, kekalahan rejim Barisan Nasional di dalam Pilihan Raya Umum Ke-14 yang diadakan pada Mei 2018 membuktikan bahawa gelombang pendemokrasian telah berjaya menembusi tembok autoritarian yang dibina berdekad lamanya. Tentangan politik yang diolah oleh gabungan pembangkang Pakatan Harapan memberikan impak yang sangat signifikan terhadap perubahan corak kekuasaan di peringkat persekutuan dan negeri. Kajian ini juga berhujah bahawa kejatuhan rejim autoritarian telah membawa kepada pendemokrasian gelagat berparlimen di mana institusi tersebut menyaksikan beberapa siri perubahan yang drastik di bawah pentadbiran kerajaan Pakatan Harapan. Pembaharuan institusi yang dibawa oleh pentadbiran Pakatan Harapan ini adalah signifikan di mana kuasa politik tidak lagi dipusatkan dan tertumpu sepenuhnya di bawah satu punca kuasa yang sama dan pertukaran kepimpinan di peringkat persekutuan ini juga menyaksikan Parlimen beroperasi sepenuhnya mengikut skema demokrasi yang dianjurkan dan seterusnya menjadikan gelagat berparlimen itu lebih menyeluruh.

Authors: Ilyas Nurfaiz Firdauzi , Irawan Atika
Published: September 2021

Raiment is an MSME company engaged in clothing convection which aims to provide convenience through online sales and ordering. However, currently it still does not have its own production house and is still outsourcing by collaborating with other companies in its production, as Raiment's business is considered not to meet expectations from stagnant growth and unstable revenue. Raiment wants to open its own production house so that it does not depend on other companies in its production and can maximize profits. The purpose of this study was to determine the financial feasibility of Raiment to open its own production house. This study uses a qualitative approach through interviews and company historical data as primary data, as well as secondary data from literature reviews, journals, and books. In this study, an analysis of the industry was also carried out through PESTEL analysis and porter's five forces, as well as about the company through SWOT and financial reports. To analyse the problems that exist in the company, a fishbone diagram is used. And to analyse the financial feasibility of the company's strategy to open its own production house using the payback period, net present value, and internal rate of return. The investment in opening a production house will be financed by equity of Rp66,500,000. The results show that Raiment is feasible to open its own production house, with a payback period of 1.4 years, a positive NPV of IDR 235,260,441, and an IRR of 36.08% which is more than the cost of capital of 4.18%.

Abstract

Technology advancements have given rise to a new labor market mechanism known as elancing, where people could purchase freelance services through online sites. Following the trend, Mahajasa as a freelance marketplace startup has to compete with other existing competitors in Indonesia. Established for a year, fluctuating revenue and unknown intention of buying is incurred. Mahajasa aims for SMEs and students across Indonesia. But some recent studies stated that SMEs in Indonesia are reluctant to accept new technology since most marketplaces are in the adoption stage. This study's main objective is Understanding the most influential factors of purchase intention in buying services from freelance marketplace or freelance social media using UTAUT model. The research concluded 386 respondents from Indonesia who had used elancing platforms aged 15-44 years old and analyzed using SmartPLS.

The Covid-19 pandemic has had a huge impact on stress and eating behaviours. This study aims to determine the relationship between stress, emotional eating, and food choices among university students during the Covid-19. A total of 273 university students participated in this cross-sectional study. Online self-administered questionnaires were used to determine the stress intensity, emotional eating, and eating behaviours. All statistical analyses were performed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). Almost half (49.8%) of the participants experienced high stress. In males, the high-stress group consumed sweets or sugars more frequently than the low-stress group (p<0.05). In females, the high-stress group consumed more sweets or sugar and cakes or cookies but less milk products and fresh fruits than the low-stress group (p<0.05). Students with higher negative emotion scores consumed less cooked vegetables (r=-0.133; p<0.05) whereas students with higher positive emotion scores consumed more fast food (r=0.208; p<0.001), sweets or sugar (r=0.139; p<0.05) and cakes or cookies (r=0.139; p<0.05). Body Mass Index (BMI) was positively correlated with negative emotions (r=0.134; p<0.05), negative situations (r=0.161; p<0.01), and total negative Emotional Appetite Questionnaire (EMAQ) scores (r=0.168; p<0.01). In conclusion, Covid-19 brings negative impact on stress. University students shifted food preferences from healthy foods to palatable foods and this could result in adverse health outcomes. Therefore, stress management interventions and nutrition education should be implemented to reduce stress and overcome stress-induced eating behaviour among private university students during the Covid-19.
