Meanings and senses of Hansen's disease for health workers from a Vygotskian perspective: a qualitative study.
BMC Health Serv Res
December 2024
Public Health Nursing Graduate Program, Department of Maternal-Infant and Public Health Nursing, University of São Paulo at Ribeirão Preto College of Nursing, Ribeirão Preto, São Paulo, 14040-902, Brazil.
Background: Hansen's disease is an infectious disease with a slow and chronic evolution that can manifest itself through skin lesions, with changes in thermal, painful and tactile sensitivity, and also affect peripheral nerves, causing significant physical disabilities. This study aimed to analyze the meanings and senses for health workers from outpatient services who provide care to people diagnosed with Hansen's disease.
Methods: This is an exploratory qualitative study that used the Vygotskian theoretical-methodological framework based on the dimension of historical-dialectic materialism that bases its procedures on the use of meaning cores.
Characterizing Vocal Hyperfunction Using Ecological Momentary Assessment of Relative Fundamental Frequency.

Speech and Hearing Bioscience and Technology Program, Harvard University, 25 Shattuck St, Boston 02115, Massachusetts; Harvard Medical School, 25 Shattuck St, Boston 02115, Massachusetts; Mass General Hospital (MGH) Voice Center, 1 Bowdoin Sq, Boston 02114, Massachusetts; MGH Institute of Health Professions, 36 1st Ave, Boston 02129, Massachusetts. Electronic address:
Many common voice disorders are associated with vocal hyperfunction (VH), with subtypes including phonotraumatic VH (leading to organic vocal fold lesions such as nodules and/or polyps) and nonphonotraumatic VH (often diagnosed as primary muscle tension dysphonia). VH has been hypothesized to influence baseline vocal fold tension during phonation, and the relative fundamental frequency (RFF) during onset and offset cycles of phonation has been related to vocal fold tension and has been shown to differentiate typical voices from patients with VH in laboratory settings. In this study, we investigated whether the laboratory sensitivity of RFF to the presence of VH found in the laboratory is preserved in naturalistic, in-field settings and whether ecological momentary assessment of RFF during daily life could be a correlate of self-reported vocal effort.

Department of Physiotherapy, Faculty of Health Sciences and Technology, David Umahi Federal University of Health sciences, Uburu, Nigeria.
Article Synopsis
- * Twenty female students aged 17-35 participated in a 6-week rebound exercise program, meeting three times a week for 30-minute sessions, during which their cognitive and balance abilities were assessed before and after the intervention.
- * Results showed significant improvements in both cognitive performance and balance over the weeks, indicating that rebound exercises are a promising method for enhancing these aspects in females dealing with overweight or obesity.
Innovative behavior and structural empowerment among the Chinese clinical nurses: the mediating role of decent work perception.
BMC Nurs
December 2024
Nursing Department, Affiliated Hengyang Hospital of Hunan Normal University & Hengyang Central Hospital, No.10, Yancheng Road, Yanfeng District, Hengyang, Hunan Province, 421001, China.
Article Synopsis
- Clinical nurses are essential for enhancing patient care and advancing the healthcare profession, but the connections between their innovative behavior and their perceptions of empowerment in their work remain unclear.
- This study aimed to explore how innovative behavior relates to structural empowerment and decent work perception among Chinese clinical nurses, while also examining the mediating role of decent work perception.
- The findings indicated a moderate correlation between innovative behavior, structural empowerment, and decent work perception, suggesting that improvements are needed in these areas to better support clinical nurses in their roles.
Video-based peer assessment of collaborative teamwork in a large-scale interprofessional learning activity.
BMC Med Educ

Education, Learning and Assessment, Royal Australian College of Physicians, Executive General Manager, Sydney, NSW, Australia.
Background: The assessment of team performance within large-scale Interprofessional Learning (IPL) initiatives is an important but underexplored area. It is essential for demonstrating the effectiveness of collaborative learning outcomes in preparing students for professional practice. Using Kane's validity framework, we investigated whether peer assessment of student-produced videos depicting collaborative teamwork in an IPL activity was sufficiently valid for decision-making about team performance, and where the sources of error might lie to optimise future iterations of the assessment.
