While performing a simple task of following: a suture while closing a surgical wound in a simulated environment, we hypothesized that negative reinforcement results in increased procedural errors, longer operating time and poorer trainee satisfaction. We aimed to measure the effect on participant performance and the perception of the instructor, following positive or negative supervisor feedback during the task. A blinded randomized study was conducted assessing positive and negative supervisor feedback styles on participant performance in a simulated operation room. Students performed the task twice, with a reflection in between the repeated task. We found that the change in procedure time between the two tasks was adversely affected by feedback style. Participants receiving negative feedback sought cues to improve. From this study, it was found that negative supervisor feedback has the potential to adversely affect elements of performance. Despite this, participants receiving negative feedback express a willingness to improve their performance by seeking cues from the supervisor.

Clerkship Students' Use of Clinical Reasoning Concepts After a Pre-clinical Reasoning Course.
J Gen Intern Med
January 2025
Department of Medicine, University of California San Francisco, San Francisco, USA.
Background: Many medical schools have incorporated clinical reasoning (CR) courses into their pre-clinical curricula to address the quality and safety issue of diagnostic error. It is unknown how students use concepts and practices from pre-clinical CR courses once in clerkships.
Objective: We sought to understand how students utilize CR concepts from a pre-clinical course during clerkships and to identify facilitators and barriers to the use of reasoning concepts.
Implementation of behavior therapy for ADHD faces challenges in community settings. We describe development of a community-based implementation model for adolescent ADHD behavior therapy (Supporting Teens' Autonomy Daily; STAND) blended with Motivational Interviewing (MI). A stakeholder-engaged development approach is used based on the Exploration, Preparation, Implementation, Sustainment (EPIS) framework.

Introduction: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global problem and is especially threatening for low-and-middle income countries like Bangladesh. The COSTAR (Community-led Solutions to Antimicrobial Resistance) project includes a Randomised Control Trial (RCT) which aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the Community Dialog Approach (CDA) to improve levels of correct and appropriate knowledge and reported practice about antibiotics, antibiotic use, and antibiotic resistance (ABR) from a One Health perspective, among adult community members in 5 selected sub-districts of Cumilla. The CDA is a community engagement approach involving community members in active discussions also known as Community Dialogs (CD), run by local facilitators.

Background: Many children and adolescents with cerebral palsy (CP) experience cognitive difficulties, impacting their academic, social, and emotional well-being. A Danish study from 2023 revealed that merely 40% of individuals with CP complete their elementary school education, and previous neuropsychological studies have found that most children and adolescents with CP experience cognitive difficulties. Yet, cognitive functioning is often assumed rather than assessed, and CP follow-up programs focus predominantly on physical functioning.
