Implementing the PEIR Framework and PEIRS-22 to facilitate improved and sustainable patient engagement in OMERACT.

Background: OMERACT (Outcome Measures in Rheumatology) is an international initiative focused on improving outcome measurement in rheumatology research, fostering collaboration among PRPs, clinicians, and researchers to develop Core Outcome Sets. The 22-item Patient Engagement In Research Scale (PEIRS-22) is a tool designed to measure the level of meaningful patient engagement and guide efforts towards improvement.

Aim: 1) To describe the current profile of patient engagement at OMERACT using the scores generated by the PEIRS-22 and 2) to assess the validity of the PEIRS-22 within the OMERACT group of PRPs.

Evaluation of a capacity-building program to enhance evidence-based practice of cognitive rehabilitation providers: a pilot study.

Introduction: Cognitive rehabilitation is a complex and challenging area of brain injury rehabilitation practice, and specialized training programs are needed to upskill practitioners to ensure effective, evidence-based interventions. We developed a cognitive rehabilitation capacity-building program (CogCap) to address this need.

Aims: The aims of this study were to pilot the CogCap program with a multidisciplinary group of cognitive rehabilitation providers; to evaluate whether it improved participants' self-ratings of knowledge, skills, and confidence in cognitive rehabilitation; and to explore their perceptions and experiences of the program.

Promoting Self-Efficacy of Nursing Students in Academic Integrity Through a Digital Serious Game: A Pre/Post-Test Study.

Background: Academic integrity is an important component of nursing education, bridging academic ethics with professional practice. This study evaluated the effectiveness of a co-designed Academic Integrity digital serious game in improving nursing students' self-efficacy related to academic integrity, academic offenses, professionalism, and artificial intelligence use.

Methods: A pre-test/post-test design was employed, using a bespoke questionnaire to assess 303 first-year nursing students' self-efficacy before and after playing the game.

Evaluating a whole-school approach to addressing gender-based violence in Scottish secondary schools (Equally Safe at School): a study protocol for a type I hybrid effectiveness-implementation trial.

Introduction: Equally Safe at School (ESAS) is a whole-school intervention to reduce gender-based violence (GBV) in secondary school. ESAS comprises self-assessment, student-led action group, two-tier staff training, curriculum enhancement and policy review. Schools set up key activities in Year 1 and embed them in Year 2.

Order among chaos: High throughput MYCroplanters can distinguish interacting drivers of host infection in a highly stochastic system.

The likelihood that a host will be susceptible to infection is influenced by the interaction of diverse biotic and abiotic factors. As a result, substantial experimental replication and scalability are required to identify the contributions of and interactions between the host, the environment, and biotic factors such as the microbiome. For example, pathogen infection success is known to vary by host genotype, bacterial strain identity and dose, and pathogen dose.
