Purpose: To enhance the recognition of educational effort and thereby support faculty vitality, the authors aimed to identify essential categories of educational effort from the perspective of clinical faculty and determine whether the emerging categories were in concordance with an organizational perspective.
Method: The authors performed nominal group processes in four groups in 2008, with the participation of 24 clinical faculty members, 6 in each group, representing 18 (medical, surgical, paraclinical, and psychiatric) specialties at 14 hospitals in Denmark. Subsequently, the authors performed a comparative analysis of the emerging essential categories and the organizational work by the national panel on medical education, appointed by the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC).
Results: The four groups of clinical faculty members agreed on categories of educational effort. This quantitative consistency in prioritization was supported by qualitative consistency, as the authors observed similar uses of words and phrases among all four groups. The top priority in essential categories of educational effort was "Visibility of planned educational activities on the work schedule," which received 39% of all votes. The comparative analysis showed that the essential categories of educational effort suggested by clinical faculty were in concordance with the steps developed by the AAMC.
Conclusions: The high degree of consistency among clinical faculty from different locations and specialties and the high concordance with the organizational work of the AAMC suggest that it is possible to develop standardized measurements of educational effort. Clinical faculty emphasized that a good starting point for educational measurements is the work schedule.

Risk-stratified Care Improves Pain-related Knowledge and Reduces Psychological Distress for Low Back Pain: A Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Trial.
Clin Orthop Relat Res

Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, Brooke Army Medical Center, JBSA Fort Sam Houston, TX, USA.
Background: A number of efforts have been made to tailor behavioral healthcare treatments to the variable needs of patients with low back pain (LBP). The most common approach involves the STarT Back Screening Tool (SBST) to triage the need for psychologically informed care, which explores concerns about pain and addresses unhelpful beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors. Such beliefs that pain always signifies injury or tissue damage and that exercise should be avoided have been implied as psychosocial mediators of chronic pain and can impede recovery.

Scientific Directorate, Fondazione IRCCS Istituto Nazionale dei Tumori di Milano, Milano, Italy.
Background: "Patient Voices" is a software developed to promote the systematic collection of electronic patient-reported outcome measures (ePROMs) in routine oncology clinical practice.
Objective: This study aimed to assess compliance with and feasibility of the Patient Voices ePROM system and analyze patient-related barriers in an Italian comprehensive cancer center.
Methods: Consecutive patients with cancer attending 3 outpatient clinics and 3 inpatient wards were screened for eligibility (adults, native speakers, and being able to fill in the ePROMs) and enrolled in a quantitative and qualitative multimethod study.
Estimating the Benefit of Transplant Over Dialysis in Candidates Over 55 Years.
Kidney360
January 2025
Division of Nephrology, Department of Medicine, Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, CA.
Background: 'Life Years from Transplant' (LYFT) is a measure of the predicted difference between the expected lifespan with and without a kidney transplant. The metric was originally proposed in 1999; since then, demographics of the kidney transplant candidate population have materially changed.
Methods: Using contemporary SRTR data, we propose more sophisticated methods for estimating LYFT with a focus on older kidney transplant candidates, a growing sector of the current candidate pool.
How telepresence and perceived enjoyment mediate the relationship between interaction quality and continuance intention: Evidence from China Zisha-ware Digital Museum.
PLoS One
January 2025
College of Art & Design, Nanjing Forestry University, Nanjing, China.
The rapid development of digital technologies and the diversification of user needs have made digital museums significant platforms for cultural dissemination and education, attracting unprecedented attention. This study aims to investigate how interaction quality influences users' psychological responses and their continuance intention to use digital museums. By integrating the Stimulus-Organism-Response (S-O-R) model and telepresence theory, this study proposes a novel model to examine users' continuance intention.
