Authors: Budiarti Hayuningtyas Perdani , Matsunami Jun , Setiawan Bakti 
Published: April 2021

After the fall of the New Order regime in 1998, Indonesia changed from a centralized government system to decentralization. By the issuance of Grand Design of Bureaucratic Reform Year 2010-2025 in 2010, public sector innovation cannot be neglected due to the needs for new, innovative, adaptive, and entrepreneurial approaches to bureaucratic reform. Many innovations have been produced in local government to improve their performance. Surakarta City Government is recognized as an innovative city, produce innovative programs, often become examples of good practice in public sector innovation, and appointed as Innovation Laboratory in 2017. This study aims to describe public sector innovation in Surakarta City Government and what factors influencing it. The study was conducted using qualitative research methods with a case study approach and collecting data from interviews and document analysis. The findings of this study reveal that most of the public sector innovation in Surakarta City are ICT based innovation and provides benefits in improving the performance of local governments. Even though there is shifting leadership, the visionary leadership supported by upper-middle managers still plays a crucial role in encouraging innovation in local government, followed by supportive regulations from both central and local government, as well as participation and strong cooperation between sectors. Further, this study draws some recommendations to create an integrated policy to strengthened, evaluate, and maintain the sustainability of public sector innovation in the local government. The local government may provide opportunities to collaborate with NGOs to create public sector innovation.
Hybrid-virtual simulations for Canadian medical students during the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Reel Riley , Gunther Kevin , Kirk Samuel , Landells David , Theilmann Anne , Haines Morgan 
Published: April 2021

Implication Statement:
Given the efficacy of simulations as a medical education tool, the inability to provide them during the COVID-19 pandemic may be detrimental to pre-clinical medical student learning. We developed hybrid simulations, where remote learner participants could direct an in-person assistant. This offered a learning opportunity that was more realistic than fully virtual simulations and abided by public health guidelines. Hybrid simulations provided an opportunity for medical students to practice real-time clinical decision making in a remote, high-fidelity, simulated environment. This approach could be adapted for rural healthcare students and professionals to participate in simulations without a local simulation centre.

Changing Nurses' AIDS-Related Knowledge and Attitudes Through Continuing Education
Authors: Flaskerud Jacquelyn H , Lewis Mary Ann , Shin Diana 
Published: April 2021

ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of an acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) continuing education conference on nurses' knowledge and attitudes. Subjects in the study (N= 125) were participants in a one-day conference held at a major medical center in southern California. Content of the program included AIDS epidemiology and etiology, infection control, psychosocial and institutional support for health care workers, sexual history taking and counseling, attitudes toward risk behaviors and the major transmission groups, and legal and ethical issues. Subjects were pretested and posttested using a structured questionnaire that measured AIDS-related knowledge and attitudes, and satisfaction with the conference. Participants were re tested 2 to 3 months after the conference. There were significant pretest/posttest differences in knowledge and attitudes that were retained on retest. Subjects with lower levels of knowledge made the greatest gains in knowledge. There was also a tendency for knowledge levels to increase between posttest and retest suggesting that subjects were continuing to learn. Participants indicated satisfaction with the conference speakers and content.
Health Care Workers' Anxieties and Fears Concerning AIDS: A Literature Review
Authors: All Anita 
Published: April 2021

ABSTRACT
Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is a serious illness and a public health crisis that merits the concern of everyone. Three key features make AIDS difficult to control. The first feature is that the disease is predominantly spread sexually. The second feature is that a period of infectivity may last from months to years, and the infected individual may not be aware that he or she is infected. The last feature is that AIDS also may be spread by percutaneous and perinatal transmission. Whatever success public education may have in changing sexual behavior, it will not be seen for several years, and the number of AIDS cases will continue to grow.
The following literature review leads to a prediction that education will have a profound impact on the anxiety connected with providing care for AIDS patients. Education is a powerful tool that can be used by health care workers to change how AIDS is perceived. Health care workers must become aware of their misconceptions, fears, and anxieties about this disease and afflicted individuals.

Compliance With Mandatory Continuing Education in Nursing: A Hospital-Based Study
Authors: DeHaven Madeleine M 
Published: April 2021

ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study, which was conducted in a teaching hospital in northern New York, was to evaluate staff nurse and head nurse (HN) compliance with employer mandated continuing education (CE). The hospital's CE policy for nurses required all nursing employees to attend any six CE or inservice education programs per evaluation year. Staff nurse and HN sample groups were studied. The results revealed that 79% of the staff RN sample and 100% of the HN sample complied with employer requirements.
The staff RNs attended an average of 13 programs per year, and the HNs averaged 16 programs per year. When comparing these averages to the actual number required, the assumption can be made that nurses attend CE programs for reasons other than complying with requirements.

Published: April 2021

ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study was to determine differences in nurse attitude and clinical practice following a foot care education program. In a survey completed after the program, 23 nurses reported that they had less difficulty touching a smelly foot (p<.02), that they would be less bothered by a foot with an odor (p<.03), that they would have less difficulty touching an unsightly foot depicted in a slide (p<.03), and that they felt less anger at patients who don't follow recommendations (p<.03). The nurses also expressed more belief that patients quickly forget important information (p<.03) and that if patients knew the effects of their poor health habits they would change (p<.02). Ninety-one percent of the RN sample reported that their foot assessment and care practices had changed as a result of the program.

An Educational Fair and Poster Approach to Organization-Wide Mandatory Education
Authors: Thurber Raymond F , Asselin Marilyn E 
Published: April 2021

ABSTRACT
Background: An educational fair and poster approach was developed to meet organizationwide mandatory education requirements.
Method: A multidisciplinary task force identified 25 mandatory topics. Task force members utilized posters to indicate key points (principles) and questions for each topic. Two interactive stations, body mechanics and fire safety, were developed to allow staff to actively participate and obtain immediate feedback on competency. This educational activity was presented in a fair-like atmosphere continuously over 3 days to reach a majority of staff.
Results: Ninety-three percent of the staff attended the educational activity. Department directors received immediate feedback on attendance, test scores, evaluation summaries and problem areas. Post-fair evaluation comments from department directors and staff were very positive. There was a major savings in both staff and staff development work hours.
Conclusion: An educational fair and poster approach is an efficient method of providing organization-wide mandatory education. This approach can be adapted easily to any organization.
Divergent Backgrounds, Unified Goals: Continuing Education Program for Multinational Nurses in a Hospital in the Middle East
Authors: Adejumo Oluyinka 
Published: April 2021

ABSTRACT
This article reports continuing education as one strategy used to resolve the competence issues of multinational nurses working in Saudi Arabia. Four categories of Staff Nurses (I, II, III, and IV), N = 111, recruited from eight countries participated in a study that describes the outcomes of a training session for nurses at one hospital in Dammam. An average of 12 to 13 nurses attended 1-day courses over a 9-day period to address urgent policies and procedures selected from the hospital's guidelines for patient care. Results from pretests and posttests completed by the participants yielded information that echo differences of the nurses in terms of country of origin and possibly educational background, rather than their recruitment status with which the employers determine remuneration and responsibilities. The findings suggest ways to ensure that future nurses derive more benefit, and that recruiters and employers reconsider the criteria used for recruitment and placement.
Continuing Education Outcomes Related to Pain Management Practice
Authors: Czurylo Kathryn , Gattuso Michelle , Epsom Rita , Ryan Catherine , Stark Barbara 
Published: April 2021

ABSTRACT
Background: Nursing practice outcomes of continuing education need to be measured and reported as one indicator of the value of nursing continuing education. This article makes the case that knowledge gain, the traditional measure of continuing education effectiveness, is not necessarily sufficient to assess changes in nursing practice.
Method: A pretest/posttest design was used to measure nursing practice outcomes of a continuing education program about pain management. A total of 50 attendees returned both the pretests and posttests and 68 attendees returned the follow-up evaluation.
Results: Ninety-four percent of the respondents had improved scores on the posttest. Ninety-one percent of the follow-up evaluation respondents stated they had an opportunity to use the new information and 98% stated the use of this information has improved patient care.
Conclusion: This study found that a continuing education program triggered practice changes. The results of this study correlate with previous research that supports the need for practice outcome measurements.

The Pyramid Model: An Integrated Approach for Evaluating Continuing Education Programs and Outcomes
Authors: Hawkins Victoria E , Sherwood Gwen D 
Published: April 2021

ABSTRACT
Recent mergers and downsizing of health care agencies have made resources for continuing education (CE) increasingly scarce. Nurse educators must demonstrate the effectiveness and sustainability of CE programs and establish the link between nursing professionalism and positive patient outcomes. The Pyramid Evaluation Model expands and enhances previous evaluation frameworks. Simple steps are outlined to evaluate CE programs and outcomes systematically and comprehensively through an impact model that examines goals, reviews program design, monitors program implementation, assesses outcomes and impact, and analyzes efficiency.

Authors: Waddell Janice , Durrant Michele , Avery Shirley 
Published: April 2021

ABSTRACT
Background: This article describes how nurse educators at The Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, have used Benner's findings as a framework to direct the advancement of professional development programs, specifically preceptorship, orientation, and central education programs.
Method: Narrative methodology was introduced as a key educational strategy to capture the complexity of pediatric clinical practice and enhance learning experiences.
Results: The shift in content and structure of the education programs from a structured behavioral teaching-learning framework to the use of narrative methodology has enhanced learning, professional development and clinical practice.
Conclusion: Participant evaluations of these programs suggest a high level of satisfaction with the use of narrative methodology. Evaluative measures focusing on the relationship between narrative methodology, professional development, and client outcomes is needed. This evaluative approach that measures outcomes is imperative to future directions in program planning.

Historical Update and New Developments on the EMG-Force Relationships of Skeletal Muscles
Authors: Solomonow Moshe , Baratta Richard , Zhou Binghe H , Shoji Hiromu , D'Ambrosia Robert 
Published: April 2021

ABSTRACT: The EMG-force relationships of skeletal muscles are of significant interest to the orthopedic-biomechanics researcher and have been a topic of interest and controversy for the last three decades. We present the developments reported in the literature, from the early 1950s, relevant to this topic, outlining the details of the controversy and providing additional new information resulting from recent studies.
New data clearly illustrate that the EMG-force relationships are dependent on the firing rate and recruitment control strategy used by a muscle. Muscles that use motor unit recruitment to obtain the initial 50% of their maximal force, and use firing rate increase to complement the remaining 50%, have a nearly linear EMG-force relationship. Muscles that use recruitment to obtain 60% and up to 100% of their maximal force demonstrate progressive increase in non-linearity of their EMG-force curves.
A clear warning is issued against the indiscriminate use of EMG as a representative of muscle force. The recruitment pattern of the muscle under consideration should first be obtained in such a way that the appropriate EMG-force curve is selected.
Primary Osteogenic Sarcoma of the Clavicle: A Case Report
Authors: Byrd Thomas , Gleis Gregory E , Johnson John R 
Published: April 2021

ABSTRACT: The clavicle is an unusual site for any primary bone tumor, including osteogenic sarcoma. A paucity of data in the literature on this type of lesion makes clear understanding of the optimal treatment difficult. Given its anatomical location, the lesion requires a multidisciplinary approach for optimal care, with each member of the health care team being important for maintaining and prolonging the quality of life for a patient.
A 22-year-old man with primary osteogenic sarcoma of the clavicle was treated with preoperative and postoperative chemotherapy and was managed with surgical excision of the tumor while sparing the limb. Clinically disease-free for 20 months postoperatively, the patient presented with gross evidence of local recurrence with diffuse metastatic involvement at 22 months and died 6 weeks later. We have found no report of long-term survival on a patient with this lesion.
