Objective: This study evaluates the adoption of blended teaching models by faculty and students at Hubei University of Medicine. It aims to assess their willingness to adopt hybrid learning and identify the factors influencing their choices. The goal is to provide a theoretical foundation for reforming teaching models.

Methods: We distributed questionnaires to 235 faculty members and 1501 students at Hubei Medical College to assess their preferences for various teaching models. We analyzed the results using multiple logistic regression analysis.

Results: Among the participants, 34.5% of teachers and 33.7% of students preferred the hybrid teaching model. Influential factors for selecting this model included the quality of online teaching (OR=1.601, 95% CI: 1.221-2.100) and teacher-student interaction (OR=2.568, 95% CI: 1.230-5.361) for teachers. For students, significant factors included online learning tools (OR=1.894, 95% CI: 1.002-3.580), a single teaching method (OR=1.390, 95% CI: 1.042-1.856), low learning efficiency (OR=2.154, 95% CI: 1.673-2.774), and the effectiveness of online learning (OR=1.257, 95% CI: 1.181-1.339).

Conclusion: The blended teaching model has gained popularity among faculty and students in higher education. Universities should leverage advancements in information technology to address challenges in hybrid teaching. Maximizing students' sense of academic achievement and satisfaction is recommended to enhance and support the blended teaching approach.

Applying principles of adult learning to rural health electives in a medical school curriculum.

BMC Med Educ

January 2025

Department of Rural Health, Melbourne Medical School, The University of Melbourne, 49 Graham Street, Shepparton, VIC, 3630, Australia.

The health disparities between rural and urban populations in Australia, driven by socioeconomic, environmental, and healthcare access factors, highlight the urgent need for rural-focused medical education. The Melbourne Medical School's Rural Health Discovery program addresses this need by integrating adult learning principles within a redesigned curriculum that includes the Rural Health Foundations and Integrating Rural Health topics. These Discovery topics engage medical students from diverse backgrounds through a blend of self-directed learning, problem-solving, and immersive clinical placements in rural settings.

Background: Protein requirements established for healthy populations may be insufficient to support healthy growth in infants consuming largely cereal-based complementary foods and frequently exposed to enteric pathogens.

Objective: To assess independent and combined effects of protein supplementation and antibiotic treatment on linear growth of infants from 6-12 months of age.

Design: We conducted a 2 x 4 factorial cluster-randomized trial in northwestern Bangladesh, allocating 566 clusters to masked azithromycin (10 mg·kg * 3 d) or placebo at 6 and 9 months of age, and unmasked delivery of an egg white protein-rich blended food supplement (250 kcal; 10 g added protein), a rice-based isocaloric supplement, egg, or nutrition education from 6-12 months.

Listening to the voices of people with dementia and understanding their perception of the surrounding world is one of the keys to providing person‐centred care in daily practice. The care not only focuses on the specific knowledge and skills but also the proper caring attitude towards dementia. Stigma is still severe in Hong Kong, and the implementation of dementia‐inclusive language is not practical due to the lack of education in this aspect.
