Background: Students reported positive learning outcomes during a simulation study addressing compliance and speaking up.
Purpose: Investigate if the impacts of the simulation had a lasting effect on participants after moving into practice.
Method: Semi-structured interviews focusing on memory of the study, psychological impacts, educational impacts, professional impacts, and experiences in practice were conducted with Advanced Care Paramedics (3) and Respiratory Therapists (7) between 19 and 24 months after the original study.
Background: How effective have lockdowns been at reducing the covid-19 infection and mortality rates? Lockdowns influence contact among persons within or between populations including restricting travel, closing schools, prohibiting public gatherings, requiring workplace closures, all designed to slow the contagion of the virus. The purpose of the present study was to assess the impact of lockdown measures on the spread of covid-19 and test a theoretical model of the covid-19 pandemic employing structural equation modelling.
Methods: Lockdown variables, population demographics, mortality rates, infection rates, and health were obtained for eight countries: Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, and the United Kingdom.
Purpose: To conduct a study of the validity of the new Medical College Admission Test (MCAT).
Method: Deidentified data for first- and second-year medical students (185 women, 54.3%; 156 men, 45.
Background: In health care, there is a shift toward competency assessment, including in interprofessional collaboration and education. The Interprofessional Collaborative Competency Attainment Survey (ICCAS) has been designed to assess self-reported change in interprofessional competency.
Method: The current study collects validity evidence for the ICCAS by replicating and expanding previous research, examining internal structure, item functioning, concurrent validity, response process, and consequential validity, including theoretical interpretation of the instrument's application and outcomes.
