Psychological flexibility as a mediator in the relationship between resilience and academic burnout among Doctor of Physical Therapy students: A structural equation modeling study.

Background And Aims: Although resilience has been identified as an important factor for mitigating burnout among health profession students, little is known regarding the modifiable factors that should be emphasized to improve resilience in this population. The purpose of this study was to evaluate psychological flexibility as a modifiable mediator of the relationship between resilience and academic burnout among healthcare students.

Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted with 369 Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) students from universities across the United States.

Psychological Flexibility Predicts Perceived Stress in Doctor of Physical Therapy Students.

Purpose: University students generally, and Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) students specifically, experience stress that may threaten their well-being and academic performance with implications after graduation. Universities can benefit from implementing strategies to help students develop stress management skills. An essential first step is identifying modifiable psychological variables that allow students to cope positively with stress.

Changes in antibiotic use following implementation of a telehealth stewardship pilot program.

Starting in 2016, we initiated a pilot tele-antibiotic stewardship program at 2 rural Veterans Affairs medical centers (VAMCs). Antibiotic days of therapy decreased significantly (P < .05) in the acute and long-term care units at both intervention sites, suggesting that tele-stewardship can effectively support antibiotic stewardship practices in rural VAMCs.
