Authors: Istas Laure , Barbier Sophie , Willain Johanne , Pieret Véronique , Schoonvaere Quentin 
Published: February 2025

Se basant sur le modèle de l’amélioration et ses trois questions (Que tentons-nous d’accomplir ? Comment saurons-nous si un changement est bien une amélioration ? Quel[s] changement[s] pouvons-nous opérer pour obtenir une amélioration ?), la Plateforme pour l’amélioration continue de la qualité des soins et de la sécurité des patients (Paqs) a accompagné, entre décembre 2020 et mai 2022, les équipes de deux établissements pour personnes âgées belges dans l’application de ce modèle et l’utilisation du run chart. La Séniorie de Longtain et la Résidence Bois du Manil ont ainsi pu suivre dans le temps le nombre de chutes mensuel, mettre en place des actions d’amélioration et observer une diminution statistiquement significative de respectivement 31% et 60%.
Factor Structure of the Brief Pain Inventory-Short Form in African American Older Adults With Osteoarthritis
Authors: Wu Jianli , Horgas Ann L. , Booker Staja Q. 
Published: February 2025

Purpose
To evaluate the factor structure of the Brief Pain Inventory-Short Form (BPI-SF) and measurement invariance across two age groups for African American (AA) older adults with osteoarthritis (OA).

Method

Participants were AA older adults aged 50 to 94 years with self-reported OA and chronic pain (
N
= 110). Cross-sectional data from the BPI-SF were obtained from all participants, and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used to evaluate the factor structure. Measurement invariance across young-old (aged 50 to 69 years) and old-old (aged 70 to 94 years) participants was examined at configural, full metric, and full scalar levels.

Results

CFA revealed that a three-factor model (i.e., pain intensity, activity interference, and affective interference) demonstrated the best fit (χ
2
/df = 1.595, comparative fit index [CFI] = 0.949, root-mean-square error of approximation = 0.074). The change of CFI between configural and metric invariance was below the cutoff point of 0.01, supporting full metric (i.e., factor loadings) invariance across the two age groups. However, full scalar (i.e., item intercepts) invariance was not demonstrated.

Conclusion

Results support a three-factor structure of the BPI-SF, which is consistent across two age groups for AA older adults with OA. This study provides evidence that the BPI-SF can reliably measure pain intensity and two distinct dimensions of pain interference in this population. [

Published: February 2025

Cette contribution présente la dimension formative d’une recherche participative née d’une demande d’accompagnement d’un collectif d’enseignants. Après avoir énoncé des principes qui, selon nous, permettent d’envisager une transformation praxéologique et heuristique des pratiques professionnelles, nous exposons notre méthodologie. Nos résultats témoignent de l’intérêt des analyses collectives et de la production d’une ressource structurante et organisatrice par les participants pour assurer la réussite d’une formation émancipatrice qui amène dix enseignants à prendre des décisions et définir des compromis collectifs pour co-construire une progression sur le cycle 2 autour de la soustraction.
Enjeux épistémologiques et éthiques d’une recherche-action participative dans le développement professionnel d’enseignants d’anglais en CAP
Authors: Tortochot Éric , Olympio Noémie , Hache Caroline 
Published: February 2025

Dans le lycée professionnel, en France, le CAP est un diplôme qui peine à mobiliser de nombreux élèves et même les enseignants, notamment en enseignement général. Une recherche-action participative qui vise à la conception collaborative d’une évaluation diagnostique, avec des enseignants d’anglais en formation, peut-elle aider à les remobiliser et à quel prix ? L’enjeu épistémologique, et éthique à la fois, est double : la production de savoirs adaptés autour d’un objet frontière peu consensuel qu’est l’évaluation ; les effets de ces savoirs sur les communautés de pratique impliquées dans le projet.

Published: February 2025

Cet article traite des interactions dans la construction de savoirs au sein d’une recherche-action participative visant l’appropriation d’une technologie numérique en éducation. Cette co-construction est étudiée à travers l’action professionnelle individuelle et collective comme mode légitime de connaissance et de professionnalité. Les savoirs produits sont mixtes car issus de formations « sur le tas » à la frontière entre la communauté enseignante et celle des chercheurs, en amont de formations formelles. Ils reposent sur un partage de connaissances technologiques, pédagogiques et didactiques issues de la pratique interdisciplinaire dans et entre les deux communautés.

Authors: Solanki Ranjan , Khan Mubashshera F. , Wangaskar Sneha A. , Deshmukh Pradeep R. 
Published: February 2025

Abstract

Introduction:
A meta-analysis of gender differences in depression using nationally representative samples in the USA found that twice as many women as men are depressed. Mental distress is a leading cause of health-related burden for the Indian population, which is aggravated by a high prevalence of socioeconomic adversity such as physical and sexual abuse, poverty, low education, and gender inequality. The index study was conducted to assess the prevalence and determinants of psychological distress among women in central rural India.

Methodology:
The data presented in the index article are a baseline assessment done as part of the community-based pragmatic cluster trial. The study was conducted in the catchment area of three primary health centers, Bela, Borkhedi, and Panchgaon, in the district of Nagpur, Maharashtra. Furthermore, 1050 women members of self-help groups in the district of Nagpur comprised the study population.

Result:
The mean age of the women was 38.2 years (standard deviation [SD]: 9.8). Around 987 (94%) women have attained primary education, and 52% of the participants were engaged in some occupation. Around half of the men and 10% of the women had the habit of daily tobacco chewing. Around 58.6% of participants’ husbands had the habit of drinking alcohol. 62.5% of the female participants were experiencing very high psychological distress. Lower socioeconomic status (adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 2.1 [95% confidence interval (CI): 1.1–4.0]), comorbid condition (AOR = 2.0 [95% CI: 1.2–3.3]), marital status of women (single, widowed, divorced) (AOR = 3.4 [95% CI: 1.2–9.4]), and experiencing domestic violence (AOR = 4.7 [95% CI: 1.9–11.2]) were significantly associated with high psychological distress in multivariable logistic regression analysis.

Conclusion:
The high prevalence of psychological distress among women and its significant association with comorbidities such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and thyroid disorder hints us to incorporate the mechanism to screen for stress routinely at the health and wellness center under Ayushman Bharat, along with other risk factors for non-communicable disease.

Abstract
The current study aimed to determine the trend in the incidence of various communicable diseases reported under the Integrated Disease Surveillance Program (IDSP) in Puducherry. This record-based study obtained disease details in terms of the number of suspected cases reported, tested, and positive for the selected diseases reported under IDSP from 2015 to 2019. Dengue disease has shown a recent declining trend in the number of cases and test positivity (7.2% in 2015 to 5.2% in 2019), and there has been a steady increase in the burden of Chikungunya over the years (4.1% in 2015 to 12.6% in 2019). Malaria has been controlled well in Puducherry, but the testing rate was only 3%–4%, well below the national recommendation of testing 10% of the total population. In 2018, there was a recent increase in influenza cases, with test positivity reaching up to 21%. The study unveils valuable insights into communicable diseases in Puducherry, highlighting the fluctuating burden of vector-borne, water-borne, and influenza infections.

Published: February 2025

Abstract

Background:
National Medical Commission (NMC), in their recent notification, included Family Adoption Program (FAP) in the undergraduate curriculum to provide a learning opportunity for community-based health care to Indian Medical Graduates.

Materials and Methods:
As part of FAP, 1000 families living in rural areas of the district were approached. During house-to-house visits, students were accompanied by facilitators, and each student adopted four to five families from the villages. Students were trained regarding data collection tools, which included questions assessing sociodemographic characteristics, awareness, and utilization of various social security schemes. Paper-based data collection and data entry were performed using Google Forms. Geotagging of houses was conducted to facilitate follow-up visits.

Results:
A total of 768 households were surveyed, which included 3,238 residents with female predominance (51.9%). A significant proportion (59.9%) of the population were in the economically productive age group (20-60 years), with 38.1% educated up to secondary education (8th to 12th standard). Nearly half of respondents were aware of widow pension, Old age pension scheme, Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana, whereas the level of awareness was less than 50 percent for Bhagyalakshmi Scheme for girl child (44.7%) and Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana (42.6%). Awareness regarding schemes for Maternal & Child Health and Disability was less, and for the Manaswini scheme, it was low. However, all the schemes were severely underutilized (28%–0.4%). The overall prevalence of any one chronic morbidity was found to be 18.4%, with hypertension and diabetes mellitus being the most common morbidities.

Conclusions:
FAP gives a new perspective to medical education in India by transforming existing hospital-based medical learning to a community-centered approach.
Fostering Wellness in Medical Education: A Mixed Method Study of Stress, Isolation, and Coping among Undergraduate Students in India
Authors: Murugan Yogesh , Dave Anjali , Patel Shubham , Ram Rohitkumar 
Published: February 2025

Abstract

Background:
Medical school is a demanding environment that can negatively impact student well-being. This study aimed to evaluate stress, social isolation, associated factors, and student experiences among Indian undergraduates.

Methods:
A mixed method study was conducted at a medical college in Gujarat during January–March 2023. The 458 participants completed validated scales measuring stress (GHQ-12) and social isolation (LSNS-R). Associations with sociodemographics were analyzed using logistic regression and ANOVA tests. A qualitative phenomenological arm employed semi-structured interviews with 30 purposively sampled students to explore experiences and perceptions.

Results:
Over 50% of students reported significant stress, rising with seniority (35% to 38.4% from first to second year). Social isolation was also higher in third years (41%) versus first years (17.5%). Females, rural students, and single children were more affected. Interviews revealed key stressors, such as academics, lack of recreation, and difficult transition to clinics. Impacts included anxiety, reduced motivation, and headaches. Coping methods were family contact and leisure activities. Students suggested curricular reforms, upgrading facilities, and support services.

Conclusion:
Alarmingly high stress and isolation exist among Indian medical undergraduates, necessitating urgent interventions like mentoring programs, life-skills training, and enhanced student support services to promote well-being. A nurturing academic environment must be fostered.

Authors: Sharma Ayushi , Raj Shalya , Nikhil Vineeta , Mishra Preeti , Ravider Rohit 
Published: February 2025

Abstract

Aim and Objectives:
The aim of the study was to evaluate the influence of photodynamic and sonodynamic disinfection on the bond strength of caries-affected dentin bonded to three different restorative materials, i.e. Cention N, RMGIC, and Synergy D6.

Methods:
One hundred and eight carious and 18 noncarious teeth were collected, ground to expose affected dentin, and were arbitrarily allocated into 12 groups (n = 9). Fifty-four samples were disinfected with photodynamic therapy (PDT) and the other half with sonodynamic therapy (SDT). Samples were further randomly subdivided based on photosensitizers used methylene blue (M) (100 mg/ml) or indocyanine green (I) (500 mg/ml). Each sample was bonded to Cention N (C)/RMGIC (R)/Synergy D6 (S) and was subjected to shear bond strength (SBS) testing. Data were analyzed using ANOVA, post hoc Tukey, and unpaired t-test and the level of significance was established at P ≤ 0.05.

Results:
All tested materials showed the highest SBS with SDT irrespective to the dye used. Indocyanine green enhanced the SBS of all tested materials compared to methylene blue (P < 0.05) (photodynamic indocyanine Synergy D6 vs. photodynamic methylene Synergy D6 = 8.61, 7.16; photodynamic indocyanine RMGIC vs. photodynamic methylene RMGIC = 4.95, 4.06; photodynamic indocyanine Cention N vs. photodynamic methylene Cention N = 6.44, 5.56 and sonodynamic indocyanine Synergy D6 vs. sonodynamic methylene Synergy D6 = 9.52, 8.53; sonodynamic indocyanine RMGIC vs. sonodynamic methylene RMGIC = 9.75, 5.37; sonodynamic indocyanine Cention N vs. sonodynamic methylene Cention N = 7.48, 6.44).

Conclusion:
Besides their antimicrobial action, PDT and SDT techniques can augment the bond strength of carious dentin with restorative material. Nanocomposites bond stronger postdisinfection as compared to RMGIC and Cention N.

Authors: Yasin Sohail , Nirupama D. N. , Nainan Mohan Thomas , Naveen D. N. , Vijay R. , Thomas Helen 
Published: February 2025

Abstract

Aim:
To compare and evaluate root canal disinfection efficacy of three different endodontic irrigants 2.5% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), 2% chlorhexidine (CHX), and 2% alexidine (ALX) using negative pressure irrigation (NPI) system with EndoVac and syringe irrigation (SI) against Enterococcus faecalis.

Materials and Methods:
Seventy single-rooted mandibular premolars were decoronated, enlarged up to F4, autoclaved, and inoculated with E. faecalis for 21 days. The samples were divided into seven groups (n = 10) according to the protocol of disinfection: G1: 2.5% NaOCl + NPI, G2: 2.5% NaOCl + SI, G3: 2% CHX + NPI, G4: 2% CHX + SI, G5: 2% ALX + NPI, G6: 2% ALX + SI, and G7: no irrigation (positive control group). Adenosine triphosphate Assay was performed using luminometer for relative luminescence units (RLU) before and after the irrigation protocol.

Statistical Analysis:
One-way ANOVA test followed by Dunn’s post hoc and Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test analysis was performed (P < 0.05).

Results and Conclusion:
G1 (7.90 ± 6.03) and G2 (2.90 ± 1.79) exhibited the least mean RLU values with no significant difference among them. It was noted that G5 (32.30 ± 7.92) performed better than G6 (14.20 ± 4.05) significantly (P < 0.008). G3 (27.70 ± 7.85) and G4 (28.50 ± 6.62) irrespective of irrigation protocols did not show significant differences in disinfection efficacy. Irrespective of irrigation protocol used, all the 3 irrigants exhibited a decrease in RLU values. In our study, EndoVac irrigation system did not improve the disinfection efficacy of the irrgiants.

Authors: Shetty Ashwija , Sultana Hajira Anjum , Srirekha A. , Champa C. , Pal Suditi , Sahithi V. 
Published: February 2025

Abstract

Introduction:
Furcation perforation is a common dental issue that can result in substantial tooth loss if not repaired with a material that effectively seals the area. Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and Biodentine have been previously studied for their sealing capabilities, but Bio-C Repair is a relatively new material that is yet to be evaluated. This study sought to compare and evaluate the sealing potential of MTA, Biodentine, and Bio-C Repair as furcation perforation repair materials using the glucose penetration method.

Materials and Methods:
Forty-five mandibular molars were sectioned 3 mm above the cementoenamel junction. Access openings were prepared, and intentional perforations were created in the pulpal floor using a round bur. The specimens were randomly divided into three groups of 15. Group 1 was repaired with MTA, Group 2 with Biodentine, and Group 3 with Bio-C Repair. The sealing potential was evaluated using a glucose penetration test. Data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance with Tukey’s post hoc test.

Results:
The test results demonstrated that glucose penetration was significantly least in Group 3 (1.5313), followed by Group 1 (8.2208) and highest in Group 2 (8.5622) at P < 0.001.

Conclusions:
Within the study’s limitations, Bio-C Repair exhibited the best sealing ability for furcation perforations, followed by MTA and then Biodentine. Therefore, Bio-C Repair could be a suitable alternative to MTA and Biodentine for repairing furcal perforations.

Authors: Koteeswaran Vishnupriya , Vasudevan Aishwarya , Natanasabapathy Velmurugan , Balasubramanian Hemalatha P , Sivalingam Rajeswari 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Intracanal separation of endodontic instruments is a common iatrogenic error that can be successfully managed by various instrument retrieval techniques. However, separation in an aberrant perforation site occurs rarely and it is challenging to assess and retrieve. This report of two cases elaborates the successful retrieval of extraradicularly separated instruments using a looping device in difficult clinical scenarios. The teeth were subsequently restored to function with the aid of dental operating microscope, diode laser, and deep margin elevation followed by suitable postendodontic rehabilitation.

Authors: Nair Rashmi , Khandelwal Shruti , Gohil Chitra , Maurya Neetu , Parakh Shrikant , Nawale Akanksha 
Published: February 2025

Abstract

Context:
Following chemomechanical preparation, the application of intracanal medicaments is recommended to further decrease the microbial count. To combat endodontic infections, the application of antibiotics as intracanal medicaments has been an option for years in endodontics.

Aim:
The aim of this study was to compare and evaluate the effect of antibiotic pastes on the push-out bond strength (POBS) of resin-based root canal sealer.

Materials and Methods:
Forty-eight extracted single-rooted teeth were used after decoronation to a standardized root length of 15 mm. Canals were enlarged up to size F3 using Protaper rotary instruments. Samples were randomly divided into three groups according to the intracanal medicament used. Group A: Nitrofurantoin (NIT) Paste, Group B: Triple antibiotic paste (TAP), and Group C: Control group (without intracanal dressing). After removal of the medicament (endoactivator), obturation was done with AH Plus sealer. Push-out bond strength was calculated using universal testing machine.

Statistical Analysis:
Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA followed by post hoc Tukey and Kruskal–Wallis test (with a significance level of P < 0.05).

Results:
Compared to the control group, the POBS significantly increased after using intracanal medicaments with P < 0.05 (The results showed that the mean bond strength of TAP was highest, closely followed by NIT and least with the control group).

Conclusion:
Under the limitations of this study, it can be concluded that the use of TAP and NIT increases the POBS of the Epoxy Resin Sealer.

Published: February 2025

ABSTRACT

Introduction:
Osteoporosis represents a significant public health challenge for perimenopausal women, primarily due to hormonal changes, although awareness remains very low. This highlights the need for effective education interventions. Digital health education, especially those led by nurses, can enhance knowledge and practice through content that is specifically tailored and interactive.

Objective:
This study evaluates the effectiveness of a nurse-led digital education program in enhancing osteoporosis prevention knowledge and practices among perimenopausal women.

Results:
Using a quasi-experimental research design with a sample of 100 participants, the intervention led to significant improvements in the treatment group. Knowledge increased from 32.40% to 66.46%, and practices improved from 42.40% to 73.40%, compared to the control, which showed fewer changes.

Conclusion:
The results support the use of digital education in community healthcare to address knowledge gaps on osteoporosis prevention. Future interventions should consider demographic factors to improve effectiveness.
