Using the MUSIC Inventory to Evaluate Pathology Courses: an Exploratory Study.

Education Unit, University of Otago Wellington, PO Box 7343, Newtown, Wellington 6242 New Zealand.

Published: April 2022

Background: The MUSIC Inventory evaluates student's academic motivation across five constructs. We aimed to examine its use in undergraduate medical pathology courses.

Activity: Students from three pathology courses completed questions for three factors of the MUSIC Inventory plus one open-ended question. We conducted an exploratory analysis of the survey data.

Results: Results showed that the open-ended responses corresponded to differences in ratings on the MUSIC Inventory.

Discussion: Combining an open-ended question with the MUSIC Inventory identified differences in student motivation plus aspects of each course that could be improved. The MUSIC Inventory is an appropriate evaluation method for pathology teaching.

Introduction: Many cancer patients experience high levels of anxiety during chemotherapy, which can negatively impact their mental health and their physiological, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Different complementary therapies aim to attenuate these effects, including music therapy. Although there is preliminary evidence on the positive effects of music therapy and music-based interventions in chemotherapy wards, few studies report live group interventions delivered by accredited music therapists.

Cochlear implantation is a well-established method for restoring hearing sensation in individuals with severe to profound hearing loss. It significantly improves verbal communication for many users, despite substantial variability in patients' reports and performance on speech perception tests and quality-of-life outcome measures. Such variability in outcome measures remains several years after implantation and could reflect difficulties in attentional regulation.

Background Music therapy is a safe, non-pharmacological way to help reduce anxiety, especially before surgery. It helps to calm the nervous system, promotes relaxation, and offers comfort by blocking outside noise and distracting from pain. This can be helpful in managing preoperative anxiety and symptoms like hypertension and tachycardia.

Comparison of Performance for Cochlear-Implant Listeners Using Audio Processing Strategies Based on Short-Time Fast Fourier Transform or Spectral Feature Extraction.

Ear Hear

December 2024

Laboratorio de Audición Computacional y Piscoacústica, Instituto de Neurociencias de Castilla y León, Universidad de Salamanca, Salamanca, Spain.

Objectives: We compared sound quality and performance for a conventional cochlear-implant (CI) audio processing strategy based on short-time fast-Fourier transform (Crystalis) and an experimental strategy based on spectral feature extraction (SFE). In the latter, the more salient spectral features (acoustic events) were extracted and mapped into the CI stimulation electrodes. We hypothesized that (1) SFE would be superior to Crystalis because it can encode acoustic spectral features without the constraints imposed by the short-time fast-Fourier transform bin width, and (2) the potential benefit of SFE would be greater for CI users who have less neural cross-channel interactions.

A scoping review of participant reported outcome measures assessed during live and simulated surgical procedures.

Am J Surg

December 2024

Gynaecological Research and Clinical Evaluation (GRACE) Group, Royal Hospital for Women, Sydney, Australia; School of Clinical Medicine, UNSW, Sydney, Australia.

Background: The study aims to describe current use of participant-reported outcome measures (PROM) to assess stress in surgeons that may impact patient and surgeon wellbeing.

Methods: Medline, Embase, Cochrane library, and clinical trial registries were searched. Articles reporting PROM of stress in live or simulated surgery were included.
