Published: October 2000

To determine whether evaluation comments differed based on preceptors' and students' genders, preceptors' evaluations of medical students were analyzed. Preceptors tended to comment on the same themes in the same proportions, regardless of gender. However, women preceptors commented about "Personality/Maturity" and "Personality/Character" more frequently for men students than they did for women students. Conversely, women preceptors commented about "Clinical Skills-Negative" more frequently for women students than for men.

Factors influencing preceptor nurses' clinical teaching behavior: A cross-sectional study.

Nurse Educ Today

College of Nursing Science, Ewha Womans University, Seoul, Republic of Korea. Electronic address:

Aim: This study identified significant factors affecting clinical teaching behavior among South Korean preceptor nurses.

Background: Preceptor nurses create a positive environment that helps new graduate nurses translate theoretical learning to clinical practice, facilitates their professional development, and increases their retention intention. However, few studies on preceptors' clinical teaching behavior, critical reflection competence, and clinical reasoning capabilities exist, and no studies have examined preceptor-preceptee work-ratios.

Comparative Analysis of the Efficacy of Different Surgical Modalities for the Treatment of Female Stress Urinary Incontinence: A Multicenter Retrospective Study.

Int J Womens Health

November 2024

Department of Gynecology, Minda Hospital of Hubei Minzu University, Enshi, Enshi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Hubei, People's Republic of China.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to compare the effectiveness of four surgical techniques for treating female stress urinary incontinence (SUI) using a sample of 243 patients divided into four groups based on the method used: AFS, TVT-O, epithelial flap suspension, and ASIS.
  • Results showed no significant differences in treatment outcomes across the groups, but the ASIS group had better metrics in terms of reduced intraoperative bleeding and shorter hospital stays compared to others.
  • The TVT-O technique was associated with a higher occurrence of postoperative medial thigh pain, while the AFS group had more cases of urine retention, highlighting the different risk profiles of each surgical method despite overall effectiveness.

Background: Despite international consensus advocating a physiological approach to childbirth, there are inconsistent opinions on how to acquire the competencies needed to successfully carry out this approach. While continuity of care experiences (CoCE) within placements is a valued educational strategy, there are limited studies that focus on the learning experiences to support physiological birth.

Aim: To describe and understand the learning experiences related to physiological birth, as well as the transformations required to become a midwife who supports physiological birth, during the CoCE placement process in a birth centre.

Article Synopsis
  • The study evaluates the effects of stenting the left common iliac vein in young women (≤25 years old) suffering from chronic pelvic pain (CPP), focusing on quality of life (QoL) and pain scores.
  • Results show significant improvements in QoL and reductions in pain scores after stenting, although there were discrepancies between radiologists' initial imaging interpretations and the actual severity of vein compression found during clinical evaluations.
  • Findings suggest that while LCIV stenting can benefit young women with CPP, misinterpretation of imaging results and the presence of comorbidities complicate the diagnosis and treatment of pelvic venous disease, highlighting the need for more research.

Context: The pelvic examination is a fundamental tool for the evaluation and diagnosis of women's health conditions and an important skill for all medical students to learn as future physicians for the early detection of treatable conditions such as infection or cancer. Although the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) asserts that performing pelvic examinations under anesthesia for educational purposes should only occur if the patient provides explicit and informed consent, there still have been reports of medical students performing pelvic examinations on anesthetized patients across the country, and many states are now starting to pass bills requiring informed patient consents to conduct pelvic examinations under anesthesia.

Objectives: The objectives of this study are to evaluate the prevalence of pelvic examinations performed by osteopathic medical students on anesthetized patients without consent while fulfilling their third-year OB-GYN clerkship requirements.
