Correlational Study for Predictor Variables Affecting Length of Stay in Pediatric Sickle Cell Patients
Creators: name: Schott, Jenny
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2013

description: Sickle cell disease (SCD) and asthma most commonly affect African American children in the United States.  SCD is an inherited disorder and one of the most prevalent genetic diseases worldwide.  Acute chest syndrome (ACS) is a common complication associated with significant morbidity and is the leading cause of death among patients with sickle cell disease.  Asthma is associated with an increase in SCD-related morbidity.  Length of stay is a factor in determining costs and management of healthcare resources to this pediatric patient population. PURPOSE:  The purpose of this study is to retrospectively investigate the length of stay for patients who have asthma, acute chest syndrome, and those with both asthma and acute chest syndrome in a pediatric population at an urban hospital.  METHODS:  A retrospective study using existing data from an urban tertiary children?s hospital inpatient unit between January 1, 2012 and December 31, 2012.  DATA ANALYSIS:  Data analysis was performed using SPSS 17.0.  Descriptive statistics were run for each variable.  Contingency tables were run to determine if a patient?s age and diagnosis had significance on the hospital length of stay.  Intercorrelations were run to determine if age, diagnosis, and length of stay had an effect on each other. Davis conventions were used to analyze the results.  RESULTS:  Descriptive statistics indicated the mean age at discharge to be 7.02 years old, SD = +4.695 and mean length of stay 2.57 days.  The data also indicated that the mean LOS for asthma 2.32 days, SD = +1.773, mean LOS for acute chest syndrome 3.79 days, SD = +2.239, and a mean LOS for both asthma and acute chest syndrome 3.81 days, SD = +3.172. Contingency statistics showed a negligible association (reta = 0.071) between the patient?s age and diagnosis, and a low association (reta = 0.275) between the diagnosis and length of stay.  Pearson product-moment correlation coefficients showed that the patient?s age at discharge had a low association with length of stay (r = 0.238, p < 0.01).  CONCLUSIONS:  The pediatric patient?s age and diagnosis had very little impact of their length of stay within the hospital. The data also demonstrated that the patient population tended to be black, younger, have asthma as a discharge diagnosis, length of stay of less than 3 days, with a fairly even representation of males and females. Asthma represented the shortest length of stay, followed by acute chest syndrome, and then those patients with both asthma and acute chest syndrome, possibly suggesting that patients with co-morbidities have longer lengths of hospital stays.

Survey of the Knowledge and Confidence of Respiratory Therapy Students Regarding Tobacco Smoking and Respiratory Diseases
Creators: name: DuCasse, Delano
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2013

description: INTRODUCTION: Tobacco abuse is the main cause of illness and avoidable death in the world (World Health Organization, 2010). Smoking-related diseases claim an estimated 443,000 American lives each year, including those affected indirectly, such as babies born prematurely due to prenatal maternal smoking and victims of "secondhand" exposure to tobacco?s carcinogens (American Lung Association, 2011). Of all healthcare providers, respiratory therapists are most often in contact with patients that are diagnosed with smoking related diseases. Therefore, students entering into the field should be well equipped with the knowledge, skills and attitude to educate patients about the importance of smoking prevention and cessation. The purpose of this study was to evaluate students? knowledge and confidence regarding tobacco addiction and cessation following enrollment in a pulmonary disease course.
            METHODS: Students enrolled in a bachelor?s degree respiratory therapy program at a southeastern university were surveyed prior to and following a required pulmonary disease course. Participation was completely voluntary and no incentives to participate were offered.  A total of 31 students participated in the pre-tobacco education survey on January 24, 2013 and 24 students participated in the post-tobacco survey on April 29, 2013.
            DATA ANALYSIS: The data was analyzed using SPSS 19.0. Descriptive statistics to include frequencies and percentages were used to evaluate the RT student?s responses to survey questions.
            RESULTS: Majority of the students only had 1 to 2 hours of lecture that focused on tobacco smoking. The actual tobacco education they received was not a clear cut topic within the pulmonary disease course itself; the topic tobacco smoking was only mentioned under diseases processes such as, COPD and Lung Cancer. The RT students? confidence levels slightly improved after being enrolled in the pulmonary disease course. The pre surveyed RT students? average was 55.5%, and the post surveyed average was 69.8%.
            CONCLUSIONS:  Based on the results, the content of tobacco education within the school?s curriculum is inadequate.  With respiratory therapists mostly coming in contact with patients suffering from smoking related diseases, topics that include tobacco smoking and cessation should be included more in respiratory therapy school?s curriculum.

description: The IceCube Neutrino Observatory is a cubic-kilometer in-ice Cherenkov detector located at the South Pole. At high energies, the neutrino flux of is expected to be observed in the ratio of 1 : 1 : 1 on Earth. A ternary particle identification technique on the basis of three event topologies,single cascades, double cascades, and tracks, has been developed. While tracks arise mainly from charged-current muon neutrino interactions, single cascades from neutral-current interactions of all neutrino flavors and many charge-current interactions of electron neutrinos. Double cascades arise from charged-current tau neutrino interactions and its subsequent non-muonic decay of the taus if the decay length is large enough to be resolved. Such double cascades are unique to tau neutrinos and can be used to identify them. The next-generation neutrino observatory, IceCube-Gen2 will have an instrumented volume nearly 10 times greater than IceCube and a different geometry with larger string spacing. In this thesis, evaluation on the performance of double cascades identification in IceCube-Gen2 is realized by analyzing the IceCube high-energy starting event sample but only using a subset of the optical sensors that is similar in layout to the future IceCube-Gen2 geometry.
Respiratory Therapy Students' Perceptions of Effective Teaching Characteristics of Clinical Instructors at an Urban University
Creators: name: Alasmari, Ali
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2014

description: Clinical instructors may have a negative or positive effect on student?s clinical practice. The behavioral characteristics of respiratory therapy clinical instructors are vital to the success of student?s clinical learning experience. Therefore, respiratory therapy student?s perception of the effectiveness of the clinical instructor?s behavior is an important indicator to modify and facilitate effective clinical instruction. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to identify the most effective clinical teaching behaviors (ECTB) perceived by undergraduate respiratory therapy (BSRT) and integrated graduate respiratory therapy (MSRT) students and to identify any similarities in their rankings. METHODS: The study used descriptive exploratory design with a self-reporting survey. The survey was administered to a convenience sample of first and second year BSRT and MSRT students attending an accredited respiratory therapy program at an urban university located in the southeastern United States. The survey consisted of 35 teaching behaviors presented on a five-point Likert scale according to importance. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. RESULTS: Seventy-two students were surveyed, more than two-thirds of the respondents were female. Seventy-five percent of respondents studied were BSRT, which females accounted for 78% and males 22%. Graduate MSRT studied were 25% of the total sample with females and males equally split at 50%. Two thirds of MSRT students reported previous education with BSRT students reporting less than one-quarter. The study findings indicate BSRT and MSRT students? perceptions ranking of the most important behavioral characteristics hold similarities but both perceive the ordered rank of importance differently. Both BSRT and MSRT students ranked ?be approachable? as the most important clinical behavioral characteristic with mean scores and S.D respectively (M 4.89, S.D ñ0.37, and M 4.94, S.D ñ0.24). Additionally, BSRT students rank the characteristic ?respect student as an individual? (M 4.87, S.D ñ0.34) next significant while MSRT students rank ?demonstrate self-control & patience? (M 4.94, S.D ñ0.23) the next highest. CONCLUSION: Although BSRT and MSRT students? perceptions demonstrated similarities, mean scores data between first year and second year show a shift in ranking between characteristics. This may be because student?s perceptions could change as they advance in their clinical course work or their past educational experience. In addition, the results may assist respiratory therapy clinical instructors to appreciate students? views and acknowledge areas of success as well as areas needing improvement.

Year: 2024

description: The research study explores tensions between physicians' clinical practice and implementation of continuous improvement and their impact on Emergency Department (ED) performance outcomes. A `best healthcare Emergency Department' model was developed and `best predictors' identified for the implementation of an improvement strategy for high-performing patientcare organisations. The implication of the results for ED Directors is that there are complexities and challenges when implementing continuous improvement strategies. The tension with physicians' clinical practice should be addressed throughout the implementation process.
Achieving Sustainable Energy Development in Benin using OSeMOSYS
Creators: name: Honzounnon, Mahoutin Bernard Alexis
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: This presentation is based on the study about Benin's energy future through three scenarios: Business as Usual (BAU), Government Energy Target Case 1 (GET Case 1), and Government Energy Target Case 2 (GET Case 2), from 2015 to 2070. It focuses on installed capacity, renewable energy integration, and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, outlining pathways for achieving energy self-sufficiency, universal electricity access, and emissions reductions.

The analysis reveals a substantial increase in installed capacity, with solar photovoltaic (PV) energy emerging as the key renewable technology across all scenarios, particularly from 2040 onwards. Offshore wind remains absent, while natural gas, particularly combined-cycle gas turbines (CCGT), continues to play a significant role in all scenarios. The BAU scenario projects 23 GW by 2070, with modest growth. GET Case 1, aiming for 35.14% renewable energy integration by 2030, reaches 30 GW, while GET Case 2, targeting 100% electricity access, projects 33 GW.

Despite increased renewable integration, reliance on fossil fuels in the GET scenarios limits GHG emissions reductions. The study highlights the need for more aggressive renewable targets beyond 35.14% to achieve significant emissions cuts. It recommends prioritizing investment in solar PV, exploring energy storage solutions, ensuring a stable natural gas supply, and promoting energy efficiency across all sectors.

Creators: name: Siraj, Rayan
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2015

description: Background: Clinical instructors are expected to be excellent practitioners with great teaching skills. They play a vital role in teaching the next generation of respiratory therapists (RTs). Because clinical instructors impact the learning process of teaching the next generation, it is important to identify the effective teaching characteristics that contribute to the clinical success of the student from the perspective of RT faculty. PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to identify effective behavioral teaching characteristics of clinical instructors that are deemed most and least important by RT faculty in the State of Georgia. METHODS: Data were collected through a descriptive survey. The survey was adapted and emailed to all RT faculty members listed on The Georgia Society for Respiratory Care (GSRC) website. The survey consisted of three main domains: professional competence, relationship with students, and personal attributes. Thirty-five behavioral teaching characteristics were presented on a five-point Likert scale according to importance. RESULTS: Nineteen responses were received out of forty emailed surveys, with a response rate of 47.5%. The majority of participants indicated a master degree as their highest degree. Almost 58% of the participants teach at programs that offer associate degree. The study findings indicated faculty members? perceptions ranking of the most important behavioral teaching characteristics hold a lot of similarities and some differences. Among all provided teaching characteristics, ?Facilitate critical thinking in clinical practice was perceived as the most important behavioral teaching characteristic with mean scores and S.D of (M 4.89, S.D ñ0.31), respectively. In the domain of relationship with students, ?Encourage students to feel free to ask questions or ask for help? was ranked the highest by the participants with a mean of 4.57 and S.D of ñ0.50. In the personal attributes domain, ?Able to collaborate with other disciplines? was ranked as the most important characteristic with mean scores and S.D respectively (M 4.68, S.D ñ0.47). CONCULSION: Faculty from different program levels (associate, baccalaureate and master) agreed that ?Facilitate critical thinking in clinical practice? was the most important characteristic. Based on these findings, it is highly recommend that clinical instructors strive to improve their attitudes toward students as the best way to achieve the goals of clinical teaching. They also showed the need for respiratory therapy programs to foster and to promote uniformly identified effective behavioral teaching characteristics.

Creators: name: Alshehri, Ziyad
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2015

description: Background: In the United States, minorities are numerous and account for 28% of the population. It is well known that some of the cultural elements are related to the patients? health. Therefore, it is an obligation of healthcare providers to become culturally competent to improve minorities? overall healthcare.
PURPOSE: This study was conducted to assess the cultural attitudes, skills, and knowledge of undergraduate and graduate respiratory therapy (RT) students at an urban university located in the southeastern United States.
METHODS: The study used a descriptive exploratory design with a self-reporting survey. The survey instrument used was a short version of the Cultural Competence Self-Assessment ?ASK? (Attitude?Skills?Knowledge) Scale. The survey was administered to a convenience sample of first and second-year BSRT and MSRT students attending an accredited RT program. The survey consisted of 24 items on a five-point Likert scale. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and independent samples t-test.
RESULTS: Fifty-three students were surveyed; around two-thirds of the respondents were female. Sixty-eight percent of respondents were BSRT and 22% were MSRT students. First-year students accounted for 56.6% of the respondents and second-year students accounted for 43.4%. The majority of the respondents were under the age of 25. The respondents reported to be ready to practice in the attitude and skills subscale (4.49ñ.49, 4.20ñ.62 respectively) but they need practice based on the knowledge subscale (3.80ñ.86). The statistically significant findings were found between first-year and second-year respondents in the skills subscale, knowledge subscale, and the total scale. However, there were no statistically significant difference between BSRT and MSRT students.
CONCLUSION: This study found that respondents made progress throughout the RT program. Also, it found that level of education has no effect on cultural competency. This may be because student?s level of cultural competence improves as they advance in their clinical course work and their educational training. The results may assist RT educators to recognize the students? needs for more information to improve their cultural competency.

Creators: name: Alwadeai, Khalid
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2015

description: RT was primarily introduced in Saudi Arabia by military hospitals beginning in the late 1970s. Currently, Saudi Arabia does not have a certification board for RT and, therefore, all of the RTs in Saudi Arabia who graduated from national colleges do not have credentials. PURPOSE: The purpose of the study was to evaluate the need for developing a board for RT in Saudi Arabia, and also to determine how Saudi RTs perceived the value of certification board for RT. METHODS: Data were collected through a descriptive survey. The survey was used to examine the assessment of need to develop SBRT, and to determine how Saudi RTs perceived the value of certification. The web- link survey was e-mailed to all RTs who are member of the Saudi Society for Respiratory Care (SCRC), which has total of 750 members. The survey consisted of two parts: Assessment of need for SBRT, and perceived value certification tool (PVCT). RESULTS: two hundreds and forty responded with a response rate of 32%. Eighty percent of the participants were male, and 18% were female. Fifty three percent of the participants identified themselves as credentialed RTs, and 46% participants were non-credentialed RTs. The participants? degree level reported was Associate degree (13%), Bachelor?s degree (63%), Master?s degree (21%), and Doctoral degree (3%). Ninety percent of the participants work for the government institutions, whereas 10 % work for the private institutions. There was no statistically significant difference at the level of 0.05 between credentialed RTs and non-credentialed in terms of the perception towards the development of SBRT (z = -1.81, p= .071). There is also no statistically significant difference between credentialed and non-credentialed (p =. 779) at the level of .05 in terms of how they perceived the certification value. CONCLUSION: These findings can provide SRTs the opportunity to promote and discuss the development of the KSA certification board within the field of RT.

description: To understand the impact of recurrent pandemics such as MERS-CoV on Respiratory Therapists (RTs) behavior and commitment has become an extremely important and relevant exercise because of the unprecedented MERS-CoV occurrences in Saudi Arabia. The purpose of this study was to assess RTs knowledge, attitudes, and skills, in order to examine the differences in RTs readiness level, training status, and the association and during MERS-CoV disasters.
Method used Cross-sectional survey. A web-link survey was emailed to Saudi Society for Respiratory Care (SSRC) members, (N 750). The survey consisted of two parts: knowledge, skills, and attitudes, and the readiness to come to work. Data was collected and analyzed using SPSS 23.0.
Findings showed a significant difference between the different levels of work positions (p = 0.027), a gender and work position (p = 0.012). There was a significant moderate correlation between readiness to work and knowledge (r = .407, p < 0.05), a significant low correlation between readiness to work and skills (r = 0.261, p = .05). There was a significant substantial correlation between skills and knowledge (r = .521, p < 0.05).
In conclusion, this study showed the importance of establishes effective disaster health bureaucracy by performs periodic health policy analysis for epidemic and pandemic influenza. It called for planning, preparedness to respond effectively using all hazard-approach for potential influenza disasters. It revealed the significance of capability building for first line responders in term of HCWs Check-list education and training programs. Moreover, it supported the establishment of independent local CDC and Disaster Management panel. It recommended flexible bureaucracy and leadership enhancement for HCWs strike teams to increase likelihood success in response for unconventional scenarios.

Respiratory Therapy Student Perception of Patient Simulation Education at a Large Urban University
Creators: name: Alqarni, Abdullah
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2015

description: Background: Patient simulations have become a basis of training for numerous health care professions. In the field of Respiratory Therapy (RT), it has been proven to influence and motivate the students in proactively participating in learning through the use of clinical demonstrations and technology. However, there remains a limited number of studies that investigate the impact of simulation in RT. PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to determine the perceptions of RT students at an urban university on what they have learned from their patient simulation sessions. METHODS: A self-reporting descriptive survey was used. It was a modification of the Student Satisfaction and Self-confidence in Learning NLN/Laerdal Research tool. The participants included 34 undergraduate and graduate RT students from the Georgia State University. RESULTS: With a response rate of 88.2%, the majority of the RT students were satisfied with their present learning and felt supportive of simulation experience, availability and access to various learning materials and activities, simulation as their motivation, and the way instructors taught the simulation. It also revealed that self-confidence and enthusiasm in learning increased with simulation activities. Majority of RT students perceive simulation education as a helpful and effective teaching method (x? 3.13 SD ñ 0.73). RT students perceive developing the skills and obtaining the required knowledge from simulation to perform necessary tasks in the clinical setting as the most important clinical benefit they acquire from simulation education (x? 3.16, SD ñ 0.74). The RT students also believe it is their responsibility to learn what is needed to know from simulation activity and they agree that they know how to get help when they do not understand the concepts covered in the simulation (x? 3.53, SD ñ .50). CONCLUSION: RT students agree that patient simulations are beneficial and effective as a supportive learning method in their learning. They also agreed that simulation activities increase their self-confidence and enthusiasm in learning, but further research and studies about simulations should be encouraged in order to determine its future importance in preparing future RT professionals in real clinical settings and clinical exploration.

description: Clinical Instructors? Perceptions of Effective Student Behavioral Characteristics Among Respiratory Therapy Students in the State of Georgia
By Yousef Aldabayan (Under the Direction of Dr. Lynda T. Goodfellow)
ABSTRACT
Background: Student behavioral characteristics are perceived to be crucial factors in developing and nurturing desirable qualities of future professionals. Similar to how respiratory therapy (RT) clinical instructors (CIs) are expected to possess great teaching skills, it is significant to determine the effective student behavioral characteristics among RT students in order to identify what motivates them and what qualities influence their clinical success in relation to the perceptions of RT CIs. PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to identify and acknowledge the effective behavioral characteristics of RT students based on what the RT CIs in the State of Georgia perceive to be most and least important. METHODS: A descriptive survey was used to collect data. The survey was modified and later emailed to all RT CIs and registered proactive members of the American Association for Respiratory Care (AARC), according to their website. The descriptive survey was composed of four main domains, including professional competence, relationship with the CI, personal attributes, and the perceptions of CIs and its role in their motivation to teach. Forty-one behavioral characteristics were revealed on a five-point Likert scale based on importance. RESULTS: One hundred eighty-four responses were received out of the eight hundred surveys emailed to the CIs, with a response rate of 23%. Most of the respondents specified a bachelor degree as their highest degree. From the list of student behavioral characteristics, ?Show genuine interest in patients and their care? in clinical was perceived as the most important student behavioral characteristic (M 4.67, S.D ñ .57). However, the RT students? need to ?be honest and direct to the CIs? was determined to be the most important behavioral characteristic (M 4.40, S.D ñ0.70). In addition, to ?demonstrate effective communications skills? was determined as the most important characteristic in the personal attributes domain (M 4.5, S.D ñ0.56). Lastly, the ?CIs stay motivated to teach and assist students when faced with acceptable student behaviors? was the most important domain of CIs? perceptions of student behavioral characteristic that motivates them to teach, (M 4.38, S.D ñ0.67). CONCLUSION: RT CIs from the list of active AARC members agreed that showing genuine interest in patients and their care was the most effective student behavioral characteristic among RT students in the State of Georgia. According to these findings, it is highly suggested that RT clinical students should work hard in improving their behaviors and attitudes toward their CIs to increase their motivation in achieving their goals in clinical learning.

description: BACKGROUND: A crucial area of professional respiratory therapy (RT) education is clinical training. The aim of this study is to determine the perceptions of both clinical instructors (CIs) and baccalaureate degree RT students on the effective characteristics of CIs working at three universities in Saudi Arabia.
METHODS: 141 RT students and 15 CIs in the Department of Respiratory Therapy at Prince Sultan Military College Of Health Sciences, University Of Dammam, King Saud University Of Health Sciences in Saudi Arabia were surveyed in this study. The survey participants were asked to rank the teaching characteristics of CIs according to its importance. The survey questions were composed of 18 teaching behaviors ranked on a five-point Likert scale (5: most important, 4: important, 3: neutral/uncertain, 2: less important and 1:unimportant). Descriptive statistics and independent sample t-test were used for data analysis. A significance level was set at 0.05.
RESULTS: The response rate of this study was 71% for RT students and 72% for CIs, respectively. Sixty-eight percent of the students were male, while thirty-two percent were female students. Also, thirty-three percent (33%) of CIs were male, and sixty-seven percent consisted of female CIs. Although both RT students and CIs ranked ?competency on demonstrating knowledge? as the most important teaching characteristic of CIs, the rest of their ranking showed differences. While the first 3 ranking of CIs included only teaching competencies of CIs, RT students ranked competency, evaluation skills and teaching ability of CIs as the most important teaching characteristics of CIs. According to RT students and CIs participated in this study, 4:1 is the best student:clinical instructor ratio for optimum clinical learning experience in respiratory therapy education in Saudi Arabia. Also, ranking obtained from junior and senior RT students were statistically different in seven out of the eighteen teaching characteristics of CIs (p<0.05).
CONCLUSION: Competence on demonstrating knowledge was identified as the leading characteristics of CIs by RT students and CIs. However, their ranking on teaching characteristics of CIs differs. There are significant differences between the perceptions of junior and senior RT students on effective teaching characteristics of CIs. Further research is warranted.

description: BACKGROUND: Rapid changes in healthcare and science have enhanced the need for international educational experiences (IEE). Despite the importance of IEE in healthcare, there is a lack of literature in this area of research specifically relating to respiratory therapy. Therefore, it is important to assess the perceived impact of IEE in the United States on RT students in order to evaluate the need for developing international educational opportunities in the field of respiratory therapy. PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to assess Saudi RT international students? perception of the impact of IEE on their lives experiences. METHODS: Data were collected through a descriptive survey using a modified version of the international education survey (IES). The survey was emailed to all RT members of the Saudi Society for Respiratory Care (SSRC). Four main dimensions were assessed: Professional RT role, global understanding, personal development, and intellectual development. Excluded from the study were non-Saudi RTs and RTs with no IEE from the United States. RESULTS: Nineteen responses met the exclusion criteria of the study and were excluded. The total adjusted number of participants was sixty-two (n=62) out of (N=534) emailed surveys. The study response rate was 15.17%. Just over half of participants hold a graduate degree in RT while 48.4% hold an undergraduate degree in RT. Female participants accounted for 12.9% of all participants while male participants accounted for 87.1%. The study revealed that ?professional RT role? was the most impacted area of IEE for RT undergraduate students (M 5.48, ñ 1.4). The study showed that ?global understanding? was the most impacted area of IEE for graduate RT students (M 5.4, SD of ñ 0.84). The study findings showed that there is a moderately significant positive correlation between the duration of IEEs and the impact of RT professional role (r=0.426; p=0.001). Moreover, the study findings indicated that IEEs had a higher but insignificant influence on former international RT students? perceptions of impact than current students. Conclusion: IEE had a large overall impact on participant?s lives experiences. The study findings support the value of promoting IEEs in the United States for RT students due to its perceived positive impact on internationalization of healthcare. Further studies with higher number of participants, different cultural backgrounds, and different IEE destinations is recommended.

description: Early learning and childcare centers (ELCCs) can offer young children critical opportunities for quality outdoor play. There are multiple actual and perceived barriers to outdoor play in ELCCs, ranging from safety fears and lack of familiarity with supporting play outdoors to challenges around diverse perspectives on outdoor play among colleagues, administrators, licensing officers and parents. Results: The primary outcome is increased tolerance of risk in children’s play, as measured by the Teacher Tolerance of Risk in Play Scale. The secondary outcome is self-reported attainment of a self-developed behavior change goal. We will test the hypothesis that there will be a difference between the intervention and control groups with respect to tolerance of risk in children’s play using mixed-effects models. Differences in goal attainment will be tested using logistic regression. Conclusion: The OutsidePlay web-based intervention guides users through a personalized journey that is split into three chapters. An effective intervention that addresses the barriers to outdoor play in ELCC settings has the potential to improve children’s access to outdoor play and support high quality early childhood education.
