Attitudinal changes of undergraduate students learning online interprofessional education for patient safety: Comparative evaluation of an online program using the DID method.

Objective: Interprofessional education (IPE) can cultivate competencies in multidisciplinary collaboration for patient safety, and both face-to-face and online IPE programs have recently been introduced. This study aimed to elucidate the effects of the online IPE program on undergraduate students after the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic.

Methods: The difference-in-differences method was used to assess undergraduate students in the Schools of Medicine and Health Sciences and in the Faculty of Pharmacy at Takasaki University of Health and Welfare who participated in IPE programs at Gunma University (face-to-face IPE was implemented in 2019 and online IPE in 2020).

[Bone Marrow Carcinomatosis with Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation in a Breast Cancer Patient Treated with Chemotherapy and CDK4/6 Inhibitor].

We report a case of a breast cancer patient with bone marrow carcinomatosis and disseminated intravascular coagulation who was treated with chemotherapy and a CDK4/6 inhibitor. The patients, a 68-year-old woman, presented to our hospital with anorexia and was found to have multiple liver metastases of breast cancer. Furthermore, she had anemia and thrombocytopenia, and a bone marrow biopsy showed bone metastasis of the breast cancer.

[A Case of Palbociclib plus Fulvestrant‒Resistant Metastatic Breast Cancer That Responded to Abemaciclib plus Fulvestrant].

We report the case of a 72‒year‒old woman with ER(+), PgR(+), HER2(-)metastatic breast cancer with liver involvement. The patient received palbociclib(125 mg daily po 3 weeks on/1 week off)and fulvestrant(500 mg im on days 1, 15, and 29, and once monthly thereafter)as second‒line endocrine therapy. Her metastatic liver lesions initially decreased in size and the tumor‒marker CA15‒3 level decreased.

Changes in attitudes of undergraduate students learning interprofessional education in the absence of patient safety modules: evaluation with a modified T-TAQ instrument.

Communication underpinning well-functioning teamwork is a key mechanism for patient safety. Undergraduate interprofessional education (IPE) provides students with a basic understanding of the psychological factors contributing to teamwork. To develop IPE fostering a collaborative mindset for patient safety, attitudinal changes of students for patient safety were evaluated.

Health science students' attitudes towards healthcare teams: A comparison between two universities.

There have been few studies comparing the attitudes towards healthcare teams between different universities. This study analysed the differences in attitudes towards healthcare teams between health science students at Gunma University, Japan, which implements a comprehensive interprofessional education (IPE) programme, and Kanazawa University, a similar national university. Study populations were first- and third-year students at the Gunma University School of Health Sciences and the Kanazawa University School of Health Sciences.

Attitudes of nursing school deans toward interprofessional education in Western Pacific Region countries.

A previous survey distributed to medical school deans in the Western Pacific Region (WPR) showed positive attitudes toward collaborative practice and interprofessional education (IPE). This study aimed to clarify the present state of IPE and the attitudes of nursing school deans in the WPR. The modified Attitudes Toward Health Care Teams Scale (ATHCTS) and the modified Readiness of healthcare students for Interprofessional Learning Scale (RIPLS) were used.

[Pneumothorax after treatment with bevacizumab-containing chemotherapy for breast cancer - a case report].

A 62-year-old woman presented with a right breast tumor. Examination yielded a diagnosis of right breast cancer (T4bN3bM1[lung]). After right breast mastectomy for local control, 9 sessions of chemotherapy containing an anthracycline and taxane were administered.

Repeated cross-sectional study of the longitudinal changes in attitudes toward interprofessional health care teams amongst undergraduate students.

The interprofessional education (IPE) program at Gunma University, Maebashi, Japan, uses a lecture style for first-year students and a training style for third-year students. To investigate the comprehensive implications of IPE, the change pattern of attitudes toward health care teams was examined longitudinally in pre-qualified students. The modified Attitudes Toward Health Care Teams Scale (mATHCTS) was used.

Attitudes toward interprofessional healthcare teams: a comparison between undergraduate students and alumni.

The goal of effective interprofessional education (IPE) is high-quality patient-care delivery and attaining a high level of patient satisfaction in clinical settings. We aimed to examine if alumni who have studied in an IPE program at a pre-licensure stage maintain a positive attitude toward collaborative practice (CP) in the postgraduate clinical experience. This paper presents a cross-sectional descriptive study which employed the modified attitudes toward health care teams scale (ATHCTS) to examine the relationship between exposure to clinical practice and the attitudes toward interprofessional healthcare teams.

Attitudes of medical school deans toward interprofessional education in Western Pacific Region countries.

To examine the attitudes of medical school deans toward interprofessional education (IPE) and collaborative practice (CP), we conducted survey research in the Western Pacific Region. This regional survey was conducted as a collaborative research project with the World Health Organization. A survey was distributed to the medical school deans in Malaysia, the Philippines, Republic of Korea and Japan.

[A case of HER2-positive breast cancer receiving lapatinib+capecitabine chemotherapy with ventriculoperitoneal shunting for hydrocephalus associated with brain metastases].

In patients with HER2-positive breast cancer, cerebral metastasis sometimes occurs even if the breast tumor and liver/lung metastasis are controlled with trastuzumab. We encountered a case of HER2-positive breast cancer with cerebral metastasis presenting with hydrocephalus, in which VP shunting was successful, enabling continued treatment with lapatinib+capecitabine and improvement of the patient's QOL. VP shunting relieved the symptoms of the brain metastasis, including headache and vomiting, which was damaging for the patient.
