Authors: Meksawasdichai Sununtha , Lerksuthirat Tassanee , Ongphiphadhanakul Boonsong , Sriphrapradang Chutintorn
Published: August 2023

BACKGROUND

Twitter has become a popular platform for individuals to broadcast their daily experiences and opinions on a wide range of topics and emotions. Tweets from patients with cancer could offer insights into their needs. However, limited research has been conducted using Twitter data to understand the needs of patients with cancer despite the substantial amount of health-related data posted on the platform daily.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to uncover the potential of using Twitter data to understand the perspectives and experiences of patients with thyroid cancer at a global level.

METHODS

 This retrospective descriptive study collected tweets relevant to thyroid cancer in 2020 using the Twitter scraping tool. Only English-language tweets were included, and data preprocessing was performed to remove irrelevant tweets, duplicates, and retweets. Both tweets and Twitter users were manually classified into various groups based on the content. Each tweet underwent sentiment analysis and was classified as either positive, neutral, or negative.

RESULTS

A total of 13,135 tweets related to thyroid cancer were analyzed. The authors of the tweets included patients with thyroid cancer (3225 tweets, 24.6%), patient’s families and friends (2449 tweets, 18.6%), medical journals and media (1733 tweets, 13.2%), health care professionals (1093 tweets, 8.3%), and medical health organizations (940 tweets, 7.2%), respectively. The most discussed topics related to living with cancer (3650 tweets, 27.8%), treatment (2891 tweets, 22%), diagnosis (1613 tweets, 12.3%), risk factors and prevention (1137 tweets, 8.7%), and research (953 tweets, 7.3%). An average of 36 tweets pertaining to thyroid cancer were posted daily. Notably, the release of a film addressing thyroid cancer and the public disclosure of a news reporter’s personal diagnosis of thyroid cancer resulted in a significant escalation in the volume of tweets. From the sentiment analysis, 53.5% (7025/13,135) of tweets were classified as neutral statements and 32.7% (4299/13,135) of tweets expressed negative emotions. Tweets from patients with thyroid cancer had the highest proportion of negative emotion (1385/3225 tweets, 42.9%), particularly when discussing symptoms.

CONCLUSIONS

 This study provides new insights on using Twitter data as a valuable data source to understand the experiences of patients with thyroid cancer. Twitter may provide an opportunity to improve patient and physician engagement or apply as a potential research data source.
Assessing Facilitator Fidelity to Principles of Public Deliberation: Tutorial (Preprint)
Authors: Draucker Claire , Carrión Andrés , Ott Mary A , Knopf Amelia
Published: August 2023

UNSTRUCTURED

Public deliberation, or deliberative democracy, is a method used to elicit informed perspectives and justifiable solutions to ethically fraught or contentious issues that affect multiple stakeholder groups with conflicting interests. Deliberative events bring together stakeholders (deliberants) who are provided with empirical evidence on the central issue or concern and then asked to discuss the evidence, consider the issue from a societal perspective, and collectively work toward a justifiable resolution.
There is increasing interest in this method, which warrants clear guidance for evaluating the quality of its use in research. Most of the existing literature on measuring deliberation quality emphasizes the quality of deliberants’ inputs (eg, engagement and evidence of compromise) during deliberative sessions. Fewer researchers have framed quality in terms of facilitator inputs, and these researchers tend to examine inputs that are consistent with generic group processes. The theory, process, and purpose of public deliberation, however, are distinct from those of focus groups or other group-based discussions and warrant a mechanism for measuring quality in terms of facilitator fidelity to the principles and processes of deliberative democracy.
In our public deliberation on ethical conflicts in minor consent for biomedical HIV prevention research, we assessed facilitator fidelity to these principles and processes because we believe that such assessments serve as a component of a comprehensive evaluation of overall deliberation quality. We examined verbatim facilitator remarks in the deliberation transcripts and determined whether they aligned with the 6 principles of public deliberation: equal participation, respect for the opinions of others, adoption of a societal perspective, reasoned justification of ideas, expression of diverse opinions, and compromise or movement toward consensus. In this tutorial, we describe the development of a blueprint to guide researchers in assessing facilitator fidelity, share 3 templates that will assist them in the task, and describe the results of our assessment of facilitator fidelity in 1 of the 4 sites in which we conducted deliberations.
Deconstructing Fitbit to Specify the Effective Features in Promoting Physical Activity Among Inactive Adults: Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial (Preprint)
Authors: Takano Keisuke , Oba Takeyuki , Katahira Kentaro , Kimura Kenta
Published: August 2023

BACKGROUND

Wearable activity trackers have become key players in mobile health practice as they offer various behavior change techniques (BCTs) to help improve physical activity (PA). Typically, multiple BCTs are implemented simultaneously in a device, making it difficult to identify which BCTs specifically improve PA.

OBJECTIVE

We investigated the effects of BCTs implemented on a smartwatch, the Fitbit, to determine how each technique promoted PA.

METHODS

This study was a single-blind, pilot randomized controlled trial, in which 70 adults (n=44, 63% women; mean age 40.5, SD 12.56 years; closed user group) were allocated to 1 of 3 BCT conditions: self-monitoring (feedback on participants’ own steps), goal setting (providing daily step goals), and social comparison (displaying daily steps achieved by peers). Each intervention lasted for 4 weeks (fully automated), during which participants wore a Fitbit and responded to day-to-day questionnaires regarding motivation. At pre- and postintervention time points (in-person sessions), levels and readiness for PA as well as different aspects of motivation were assessed.

RESULTS

Participants showed excellent adherence (mean valid-wear time of Fitbit=26.43/28 days, 94%), and no dropout was recorded. No significant changes were found in self-reported total PA (dz<0.28, P=.40 for the self-monitoring group, P=.58 for the goal setting group, and P=.19 for the social comparison group). Fitbit-assessed step count during the intervention period was slightly higher in the goal setting and social comparison groups than in the self-monitoring group, although the effects did not reach statistical significance (P=.052 and P=.06). However, more than half (27/46, 59%) of the participants in the precontemplation stage reported progress to a higher stage across the 3 conditions. Additionally, significant increases were detected for several aspects of motivation (ie, integrated and external regulation), and significant group differences were identified for the day-to-day changes in external regulation; that is, the self-monitoring group showed a significantly larger increase in the sense of pressure and tension (as part of external regulation) than the goal setting group (P=.04).

CONCLUSIONS

Fitbit-implemented BCTs promote readiness and motivation for PA, although their effects on PA levels are marginal. The BCT-specific effects were unclear, but preliminary evidence showed that self-monitoring alone may be perceived demanding. Combining self-monitoring with another BCT (or goal setting, at least) may be important for enhancing continuous engagement in PA.

Information and Communications Technology–Based Monitoring Service for Tailored Chronic Disease Management in Primary Care: Cost-Effectiveness Analysis Based on ICT-CM Trial Results (Preprint)
Authors: Oh Sung-Hee , Kang Jae-Heon , Kwon Jin-Won
Published: August 2023

BACKGROUND

Information and communications technology–based tailored management (TM) intervention is a novel automatic system in which a smartphone app for the management of patients with hypertension and diabetes, the provider web, and Bluetooth devices are linked. However, little evidence exists regarding the cost-effectiveness of the interventions using mobile apps.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to assess the cost-effectiveness of TM intervention for adult patients with hypertension or diabetes in primary care compared with usual care (UC).

METHODS

Cost-effectiveness analysis using a Markov model was conducted from the Korean health care system perspective. Based on 6-month outcome data from an information and communications technology–based tailored chronic disease management (ICT-CM) trial, effectiveness over a lifetime beyond the trial periods was extrapolated using a cardiovascular disease risk prediction model. Costs were estimated using ICT-CM trial data and national health insurance claims data. Health utility weights were obtained from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.

RESULTS

In the base-case analysis, compared with UC, TM was more costly (US $23,157 for TM vs US $22,391 for UC) and more effective (12.006 quality-adjusted life-years [QALYs] for TM vs 11.868 QALYs for UC). The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio was US $5556 per QALY gained. Probabilistic sensitivity analysis showed that the probability of TM being cost-effective compared with UC was approximately 97% at an incremental cost-effectiveness ratio threshold of US $26,515 (KRW 35 million) per QALY gained.

CONCLUSIONS

Compared with UC, TM intervention is a cost-effective option for patients with hypertension or diabetes in primary care settings. The study results can assist policy makers in making evidence-based decisions when implementing accessible chronic disease management services.

Authors: Ghadirian Mona Ziba , Omer Khalid , Cockcroft Anne
Published: August 2023

BACKGROUND

Adolescents are a large proportion of the population in sub-Saharan Africa and face multiple risks to their health and well-being. Prior systematic reviews have focused on specific adolescent sexual and reproductive health outcomes such as teen pregnancies, HIV/AIDS, and sexually transmitted diseases. A comprehensive synthesis of the influential factors that shape different aspects of adolescent sexual and reproductive health can inform health policy and program development for this important segment of the population.

OBJECTIVE

This paper presents the protocol for an umbrella review that aims to synthesize the existing knowledge in the literature on the associations among individual, family, and societal factors and sexual and reproductive health outcomes among adolescents in sub-Saharan Africa.

METHODS

We will include systematic reviews that identify factors associated with sexual and reproductive health outcomes among adolescents, 10-19 years of age, in sub-Saharan Africa. Reviews can include quantitative and qualitative primary studies with or without meta-analysis. Academic and gray literature searches will identify reviews from PubMed, Scopus, CINAHL, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, ProQuest, Google, and Google Scholar. Two reviewers (MZG and KO) will independently carry out title, abstract, and full text screening, assess methodological quality, and extract data. We will assess the methodological quality of the included studies using the Joanna Briggs Institute standard forms. The review will present findings in narrative form and in tables and will follow PRISMA (the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) reporting guidelines.

RESULTS

A preliminary search in April 2023 found 1351 articles to be screened.

CONCLUSIONS

This umbrella review will permit a comprehensive and high-level understanding of the various factors that influence adolescent sexual and reproductive health in sub-Saharan Africa.

Authors: Baglivo Francesco , De Angelis Luigi , Casigliani Virginia , Arzilli Guglielmo , Privitera Gaetano Pierpaolo , Rizzo Caterina
Published: August 2023

BACKGROUND

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a rapidly developing field with the potential to transform various aspects of health care and public health, including medical training. During the “Hygiene and Public Health” course for fifth-year medical students, a practical training session was conducted on vaccination using AI chatbots as an educational supportive tool. Before receiving specific training on vaccination, the students were given a web-based test extracted from the Italian National Medical Residency Test. After completing the test, a critical correction of each question was performed assisted by AI chatbots.

OBJECTIVE

The main aim of this study was to identify whether AI chatbots can be considered educational support tools for training in public health. The secondary objective was to assess the performance of different AI chatbots on complex multiple-choice medical questions in the Italian language.

METHODS

A test composed of 15 multiple-choice questions on vaccination was extracted from the Italian National Medical Residency Test using targeted keywords and administered to medical students via Google Forms and to different AI chatbot models (Bing Chat, ChatGPT, Chatsonic, Google Bard, and YouChat). The correction of the test was conducted in the classroom, focusing on the critical evaluation of the explanations provided by the chatbot. A Mann-Whitney U test was conducted to compare the performances of medical students and AI chatbots. Student feedback was collected anonymously at the end of the training experience.

RESULTS

In total, 36 medical students and 5 AI chatbot models completed the test. The students achieved an average score of 8.22 (SD 2.65) out of 15, while the AI chatbots scored an average of 12.22 (SD 2.77). The results indicated a statistically significant difference in performance between the 2 groups (U=49.5, P<.001), with a large effect size (r=0.69). When divided by question type (direct, scenario-based, and negative), significant differences were observed in direct (P<.001) and scenario-based (P<.001) questions, but not in negative questions (P=.48). The students reported a high level of satisfaction (7.9/10) with the educational experience, expressing a strong desire to repeat the experience (7.6/10).

CONCLUSIONS

This study demonstrated the efficacy of AI chatbots in answering complex medical questions related to vaccination and providing valuable educational support. Their performance significantly surpassed that of medical students in direct and scenario-based questions. The responsible and critical use of AI chatbots can enhance medical education, making it an essential aspect to integrate into the educational system.

Published: August 2023

Lipid extraction assisted by hydrodynamic cavitation (HCLE) is one of the promising processes with low energy requirements. This study aims to reduce the energy requirement using a discrete flow system and evaluate two models to calculate the volumetric mass transfer coefficient. The variations of the number of repetitions, cavitation number, microalgae concentration, and temperature have affected the energy requirement value.  The first model uses total lipid mass transfer approximation (Model 1) and the second uses separated lipid mass transfer approximation (Model 2). Based on Model 1 the value of total volumetric mass transfer coefficient ( ) f were 1.166 x 10-2, 3.113 x 10-3 and 1.285 x 10-3 min-1 with coefficient of determination (R2) is 0.9797. Whereas, based on Model 2 the value of volumetric mass transfer coefficient from disrupted microalgae ( ) were 1.131 x 10-2, 2.925 x 10-3 and 1.260 x 10-3 min-1 and from the intact microalgae ( ) was 0.051, 0.030 and 0.011 1/min with R2 of 0.9766. Both models gave a similar result. It was shown that lipid release from disrupted microalgae was dominant compared to the intact microalgae. Therefore, the discrete flow system of HCLE is a promising technique for extracting lipids from microalgae

Authors: DAMLE MRINALINI C. , SONULE JAY A.
Published: August 2023

Objective: Simple, rapid RP-HPLC and HPTLC methods have been developed in order to study the degradation of Roxadustat under various stress conditions. The Kinetics of hydrolytic degradation is studied.
Methods: Optimum separation of Roxadustat and its degradation products was achieved using the following conditions in HPLC, Agilent eclipse XDB-C8 (150×4.6 mm) column, the mobile phase was composed of methanol: phosphate buffer (pH 5, 0.05 M) (70:30 v/v) with UV detection at 262 nm. The flow rate was at 1.0 ml/min. The RT was 4.6±0.02 min. HPTLC work for Roxadustat was performed on Aluminium plates precoated with silica gel 60 F254, (10 cm × 10 cm with 250 μm layer thickness). The mobile phase was composed of Toulene: Ethyl Acetate: Glacial acetic acid (5:5:0.5 v/v/v) and then scanned. The system was found to give a compact spot for Roxadustat (Rf value of 0.58±0.02).
Results: In HPLC the calibration curves plotted were found to be linear over the concentration range of 2.5-25μg/ml, with a correlation coefficient of R2=0.9994. In HPTLC the calibration curves plotted were found to be linear over the concentration range of 500-2500 ng/band, with a regression coefficient of R2=0.9957. The analytical performance of the proposed methods was validated as per ICH Q2 (R1) guidelines. The degradant peaks were well resolved from the Roxadustat peak. Significant degradation was observed in acid hydrolysis, alkali hydrolysis, and oxidative degradation. The drug is relatively stable towards photolysis, neutral hydrolysis, and thermal conditions.
Conclusion: In the current work, simple RP-HPLC and HPTLC analytical methods for the determination of Roxadustat in the presence of its degradation products have been developed. The information presented herein could be very useful while developing formulation procedures to prevent hydrolytic degradation. It can be used as a routine quality control test.

Published: August 2023

Intrathecal drug delivery systems (IDDS) have emerged as a valuable treatment option for patients with chronic pain who have failed to achieve adequate relief with conventional therapies. These systems provide targeted delivery of medications directly to the cerebrospinal fluid, resulting in improved pain control and reduced systemic side effects. However, the use of IDDS is not without potential complications and considerations that must be addressed to ensure optimal patient outcomes. This comprehensive review examines the various complications associated with IDDS and the considerations that healthcare providers and patients need to be aware of. Surgical complications, such as infection, bleeding, spinal fluid leaks, and nerve damage, are discussed, along with strategies to minimize these risks. Device malfunctions, including pump failure, catheter issues, and electronic problems, are explored, highlighting the importance of regular monitoring and maintenance. Medication-related side effects, such as nausea, sedation, and respiratory depression, are addressed, emphasizing the need for close monitoring and appropriate dosage adjustments. Long-term considerations, including tolerance to medication, physical dependence, and withdrawal symptoms, are also examined, emphasizing the significance of gradual tapering and proper discontinuation protocols. The review underscores the importance of regular follow-up appointments to assess the system's functionality, medication dosages, and patient response to treatment. By proactively managing and addressing complications, healthcare providers can optimize pain relief and minimize adverse effects, ensuring the long-term effectiveness and safety of IDDS.

Published: August 2023

El frijol es una de las fuentes más importantes de alimentación en la población mexicana. Sus propiedades colorimétricas están directamente relacionadas con sus propiedades nutrimentales. Es por eso que resulta importante contar con métodos que permitan analizar su coloración para poder comparar las características entre poblaciones. Dos de las técnicas más utilizadas para caracterizar el color en las poblaciones de frijol, han sido la espectrofotometría y el análisis de color en imágenes digitales. En el presente trabajo se propone utilizar promedios de color en los espacios de color RGB, HSI y CIE L*a*b* para representar las propiedades colorimétricas de las poblaciones. La experimentación se llevó a cabo estudiando 54 poblaciones de frijol provenientes de distintas regiones del estado de Oaxaca, México, utilizando una clase primaria (identificador de cada población) y una súper clase (formada a partir de una paleta de color). La precisión de clasificación alcanzada, utilizando el algoritmo k-NN en la clase primaria, con las mediciones promedio del espectrofotómetro, fue de 68.24%; con RGB, 46.94%; con HSI, 50%; con CIE L*a*b*, 51.48%, y conjuntando los 9 canales de los tres espacios, fue de 54.91%. Para el caso de la súper clase, los resultados obtenidos fueron de 82.87% con las mediciones promedio del espectrofotómetro, 76.2%; con RGB, 74.91%; con HSI, 77.13%; con CIE L*a*b*, y 78.8%, con los 3 espacios de color. Los resultados sugieren que aun cuando los promedios aproximan las distribuciones reales, es necesaria una representación que capture de manera más robusta las distribuciones de color asociadas a cada población.
Advancing Flood Prediction: Leveraging Machine Learning for Accurate Prediction
Authors: Gawas Harshal
Published: August 2023

Abstract: Floods, a force of nature that cannot be escaped, relentlessly strike without discrimination. Every nation, to shield itself from this calamity, strives to make adequate preparations. Countless countries endure the devastation of floods annually, suffering immeasurable losses in various aspects such as finance, environment, and human lives. Regrettably, these losses are irreparable, no matter the efforts made. Amongst the different types of floods, flash floods pose the gravest danger as they possess both the destructive force of a flood and an astonishing velocity. These flash floods occur when intense rainfall surpasses the soil's ability to absorb water. They also occur when water fills dry creeks or streams or when sufficient water accumulates to breach riverbanks, resulting in rapid surges in a short period. Flash floods can materialize within minutes after triggering incidents, leaving little time for public warning and protection. As one facet of artificial intelligence, machine learning greatly contributes to the progression of predictive systems, offering enhanced performance and cost-effective solutions. Flood prediction must be accurate and fast to mitigate its damage. Machine learning algorithms have gained popularity for flood prediction recently because of their capacity to analyse massive volumes of data and find subtle patterns. This article presents an overview of flood prediction technology utilizing machine learning, encompassing the diverse algorithms employed, the benefits and drawbacks of this technology, and the challenges that lie ahead along with potential future developments.

Specifically, the research questions are: First, how does the development process of professional identity occur in counseling? Second, what are the reflective practice-based educational approaches to formulating professional identity in counseling? Methods The purposes of this study analyzed previous research on professional identity to identify its components, and extracted commonalities through studies on developmental experiences. The developmental process of professional identity in counseling was diagrammed, and educational approaches were proposed based on reflective practice. Results First, professional identity is formed by integrating understanding and motivation towards the profession, practical experience and training, difficulties in adapting to the field, and personal and professional experiences. Second, to overcome the difficulties experienced in the development process of professional identity, it has been confirmed that individuals exhibit personal reflective abilities and make efforts such as peer interaction and supervision. Third, as an educational approach to forming professional identity, it is proposed to explicitly state professional identity and reflective learning within the teaching objectives and learning goals of counseling courses. Conclusions This study proposes practical and reflective educational approaches for the formation of professional identity in counseling, in order to reassess the role of counselors and strengthen their abilities as experts responsible for the mental health of a society. Through this, it is expected to provide implications for clarifying and restructuring educational objectives and learning goals that solidify the identity of counselors.

Objectives The purpose of this study was to analyze the latent classes of career education/service experience(CESE) in universities and their effect on career indecision(CI). Methods Latent class analysis (LCA) was used to identify the classes of CESE for 3,296 students in the Korea Education & Employment Panel II (KEEPII) 5th year data. Multinomial logistic regression analysis was conducted to explore variables affecting latent classes, and the chi-square test was conducted to examine the relationship between latent classes and career indecision. Results The key findings are as follows. First, the classes of CESE were divided into three groups: ‘overall high experience’ (OHE) (6.4%), ‘medium experience focused on counseling and lecture’ (MECL) (38.2%), and ‘overall low experience’ (OLE) (55.4%). Second, the results of multinomial logistic regression analysis revealed that self-awareness, department pride, and enrollment had positive effects in OHE, but that 4 to 6 year course had a significant negative effect. In MECL, enrollment had a positive effect, while a 4 to 6 year course had a negative effect. The chi-square test between the latent classes and career indecision showed that the rates of future job decision of OHE and MECL were significantly higher than that of OLE. Conclusions The study found that career education/service experience(CESE) in universities support was positive for students' career decisions, suggesting that efforts and balanced support are essential to expand career education and service participation at the university department level to increase students' career choice efficacy and major choice satisfaction.

Objectives The purposes of this study were to develop and apply a horticultural education program for adults with developmental disabilities(DD) using flipped learning based design thinking, and to verify its educational effectiveness. The goal was to examine the educational effectiveness of the program and provide basic data and insights for the development of educational programs targeting adults with DD, where research on teaching and learning methods has not been well done. Methods The program development was carried out following the procedures of the ADDIE model stages: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The developed program was applied to the experimental group, and its effects were analyzed. In order to investigate the effectiveness of the horticultural education program using flipped learning-based design thinking, the educational effectiveness was evaluated through the analysis of empathy ability, self-directed learning ability, and academic achievement of adults with DD. Furthermore, a network text analysis was conducted to explore the frequency and centrality of keywords derived from individual interviews with participants in the experimental group and relevant stakeholders. Results The results of applying the developed flipped learning-based design thinking horticultural education program in this study showed statistically significant increases in empathy ability, self-directed learning ability, and academic achievement of adults with DD compared to before the program implementation. Additionally, through interviews with participants in the experimental group, improvements were observed in their attitudes toward class participation and satisfaction with learning experiences following the program intervention. Based on the results and implications obtained from each stage, the horticultural education program for adults with DD using flipped learning-based design thinking was ultimately completed. Conclusions This study holds significance in the development and validation of a horticultural education program using flipped learning-based design thinking, which is distinct from traditional lecture-based horticultural education programs, specifically targeting adults with DD. There is a need to examine the potential for the establishment of flipped learning-based design thinking as a teaching and learning method not only for adults with DD but also for learners with DD across various age groups.

Published: August 2023

Objectives The purposes The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between various latent profiles of teaching competencies and influence factors of elementary school preservice teachers. Methods For this, we applied the Latent Profile Analysis (LPA) based on the data collected through an online survey targeting a total of 537 4th grade preservice teachers enrolled in national universities of education. In particular, IC index, entropy, significance of LMR_LRT and BLRT were used to determine the number of latent profiles. Results As a result of applying LPA, the final five latent profiles were found to be the most suitable. : The teaching competency-high group (26.8%) with the highest level in all sub-factors constituting all teaching competency, class management-high group (6.7%) with excellent class reflection and criticism, class atmosphere creation and class management, teaching competency-medium group (45.1%) with average levels of all sub-factors, teaching competency-low group (18.9%) with all sub-factors below the middle level, and teaching competency-lowest group (3.2%) with all sub-factors at the lowest level. To the next, as a result of verifying the variables that affect the classification of the latent profile for teaching competency, it was found that teacher belief and cooperative competency had a significant effect. Conclusions This study has empirical implications in that it identified the existence of various sub-latent profiles according to the teaching competencies of pre-service elementary teachers, and investigated the effect of internal and professional variables on profile classification comprehensively. Finally, the significance and limitations of this study were discussed.

Published: August 2023

Objectives The purpose of this study was to find out the differences in support for distance learning classes that changed over time due to COVID-19, the pros and cons of taking classes according to class types, and difficulties outside of classes. Methods The study participants were 10 University students with Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing who were enrolled in a university and took lectures at the university in 2020 and 2021. The research method was a focus group interview using semi-structured questions. The interview contents were categorized and organized through qualitative analysis. Results As a result, both instructors and students have adapted to the distance learning system, and some universities have introduced shorthand support for changes in distance learning class support. As for the pros and cons of taking classes according to the type of class, face-to-face classes have the advantage of immediate exchange, but there were also difficulties in communication due to wearing a mask. The advantages of remote classes include convenience and reproducibility without restrictions of time and place. In terms of difficulties outside of class, difficulties in disconnecting exchanges and difficulties in performing assignments outside of classes appeared. Conclusions In order to improve these points, ‘quality improvement of support inside and outside of classes’, ‘teaching method utilizing the advantages of the instructor's class type based on Universal Design Learning’, and ‘education to understand hearing impairment for teachers and students taking classes together’ were proposed.
