Aim: The study aims to investigate the influence of the online education given to nursing undergraduate students using the Six Thinking Hat Method (STHM) on their knowledge and attitudes related to pressure injury (PI) prevention.
Methods: This pilot study was conducted between March-June 2023. The research sample consists of 25 participants in the intervention group and 25 in the control group. The intervention group received an online education carried out utilizing the STHM. Data were collected using the Student Demographic Information Form, the Turkish version of the Pressure Injury Knowledge Assessment Tool 2.0 (PIKAT 2.0-Tr), and the Attitude Towards the Pressure Ulcer Prevention Instrument (APuP).
Results: While there was no significant difference between the PIKAT 2.0-Tr and APuP mean scores of the groups at the pre-test measurements (p > 0.05), a difference was observed in favor of the intervention group in the first month (post-test 1) and third month (post-test 2) measurements (p < 0.05). The education provided through the STHM resulted in a meaningful and moderate effect, with an 11.7% increase in the PIKAT 2.0-Tr scores (η2 = 0.117; p = 0.003) and a substantial 29.5% increase in the APuP scores (η2 = 0.295; p = 0.000) for the students in the intervention group.
Conclusion: It has been determined that the STHM, as an active teaching method, increases students' knowledge levels on PI prevention, supports the retention of knowledge, and enhances their attitudes. The STHM can be incorporated into nursing education as one of the innovative teaching methods.

Correlation Between Gender of Department Chairs and Paid Parental Leave Benefits in Academic Dermatology Residency Programs.

Background: Although the number of women entering dermatology residency programs is increasing, they still encounter numerous challenges and disparities, including limited career opportunities and difficulties in balancing family planning with their professional lives. Parental leave policies have been recognized for their positive impact on maternal, fetal, and familial well-being, career satisfaction, and gender equality. However, negative perceptions and a lack of awareness surrounding these policies may discourage female residents from taking parental leave during training.

Freshmen often encounter significant challenges in adapting to the complexity of university-level mathematics and independent learning. These challenges necessitate the development of strong self-regulated learning (SRL) skills to successfully navigate the demands of higher education. Building on mindset theory, this study explores how mathematical mindset-oriented interventions can support freshmen's mathematics learning during their transition to higher education mathematics, particularly in an online setting.

This study investigates how lower-level English language learners achieve and maintain intersubjectivity and navigate through co-constructed framings during context-embedded tasks such as improvised role-play. In language education settings, activities associated with interactions often reflect multi-layered participant orientations beyond mere linguistic execution. From the perspectives of ethnomethodology and conversation analysis, linguistic actions are effective only when they are intersubjectively understood: the complexity of an activity necessitates corresponding levels of intersubjectivity for smooth progression.

Recent research has highlighted a notable confidence bias in the haptic sense, yet its impact on learning relative to other senses remains unexplored. This online study investigated learning behaviour across visual, auditory, and haptic modalities using a probabilistic selection task on computers and mobile devices, employing dynamic and ecologically valid stimuli to enhance generalisability. We analysed reaction time as an indicator of confidence, alongside learning speed and task accuracy.
