- summary: The two main contributors that affected CPD participation in this study were a lack of time and the inability to attend CPD activities due to shift work. The Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA) CPD guidelines[5] highlights that CPD activities must be pertinent to the health priorities of the country and focus on the emerging health needs of the population.

- summary: Understanding the drivers of ‘provider behaviour’ has been highlighted as one of the six domains of behaviour change in strengthening healthcare systems. Change in behavioural determinants associated with behaviour change Using Spearman’s rank test, we correlated all change in behavioural determinants (from pre- to immediately post-course) with change in behaviour (from pre-course to follow-up) to establish if any behavioural determinant changes during the course were associated with behaviour change from pre-course to follow-up.

- summary: This study forms part of a larger study that is geared towards the development of a model for physiotherapy clinical education, which will feed into an overall model for health professions education within DCT platforms for the CHS at UKZN.[10] Methods A qualitative study approach[11,12] was employed to explore the perceptions of physiotherapists supervising undergraduate physiotherapy students in a DCT approach. A flexible interview guide was developed with open-ended questions encompassing work experience and exposure to student training, and involvement and role of therapists in the implementation of DCT were explored.

- summary: Our literature review found few published studies that specifically dealt with the incidence of violence against EMS students. The majority of these hijackings take place at night, which is when the majority of violent crimes occur.[2] Local data suggest that increased travel times, distances travelled and travelling at night, all of which are expected of SA EMC students, might increase the probability of being hijacked.

- summary: The OR could be perceived by many nurses’ standards as a demanding, hostile, overwhelming, high-paced and high-stress working environment, and even more so by a student nurse who is a novice in the OR.[1] Nursing students often do not know what is expected of them or how to do the work.[2,3] Global and local shortages of OR nurses[4-7] put student nurses under even more pressure. Currently, in the South African (SA) context, student nurses are being placed in the OR even though they have very limited theoretical teaching or practical training for this work.[8] Several international studies[5,9,10] where preparation programmes were implemented prior to OR placement, described positive outcomes and a positive impact on learning in the OR.

- summary: Curriculum mapping entails a process of matching learning outcomes with elements of the curriculum[1] and provides the required visual representation of these various curriculum components, attributes and relationships.[2] The challenge of alignment can therefore be met by mapping on an electronic platform, which provides for the systematic organisation and linking of various curriculum elements into a database.[3-5] Harden[3] describes curriculum mapping as a blueprint that provides a multidimensional overview of four interrelated key areas: content (learning objectives), learning outcomes, learning opportunities (events contributing to outcomes) and the related assessment.

- summary: However, integration of PHC in clinical teaching remains limited at the secondary and tertiary levels of care. Prior to embarking on this project, recent experience and data from the Department of Medicine suggest that clinicians at all levels of the health care system can apply these principles in clinical teaching if they are familiar with them.

- summary: There was generally limited experience of how health advocacy could be taught as a skill and little consensus between the participating disciplines regarding the scope and content of health advocacy training. The purpose of the research, therefore, was to explore how the faculty understood advocacy in health professions education and how it was evident as an outcome competency of health advocacy (as required by the HPCSA[1]) for health professions education.

- summary: Microteaching activities are regarded as providing an environment for teachers to improve their teaching skills and giving them the opportunity to reflect on feedback.[7] Background The 2014 course for the newly appointed lecturers’ orientation programme at the FoHS was redesigned in consultation with an expert educationalist. I’Anson et al.[10] reported that they ‘identify microteaching as an important stimulus to reflection’, and that participation in microteaching activities could enable participants to become aware of previously internalised attitudes and assumptions about learning.

- summary: Conversely, what they have learnt in the workplace is taken into the next phase of learning when returning to university.[4] Aside from workplace learning (WPL), WIL should preferably be facilitated using a variety of learning modes, e.g. work-directed theoretical learning (WDTL) – theoretical learning focused on what the student needs to know to be able to function sufficiently in the workplace;[5] problem/scenario-based learning (PBL/SBL) – a method in which real-world problems are used to promote student learning; project-based learning and workplace learning (PjBL) – an approach where students acquire deeper knowledge through active exploration of real-world challenges and problems, to stimulate the integration of concepts and higher order cognitive learning (deep learning) to construct understanding.[1,5-8] Deep learners aim to understand the meaning behind the concept and interact with information by creating appropriate arguments and examples related to the topic.[9] The delivery of quality WIL programmes is seen as an excellent tool to equip students with the employment qualities needed in a growing and increasingly demanding economy.

- summary: Communication apprehension has been conceptualised as ‘an individual’s level of fear or anxiety associated with either real or anticipated communication with another person or persons’,[10] while reticence, on which this study focuses, is viewed as primarily a problem of repeated ineffectiveness in communication encounters.[11] Not much research has been done regarding communication skills ability among pharmacy students; it has focused mainly on communication apprehension. Studies in the 1980s, investigating communication apprehension and shyness among a large group of pharmacy students, reported that 1 in 5 students was highly communication apprehensive and over a third were shy.[8]

- summary: Although this study was conducted at one institution, it may be relevant to other institutions in resource-constrained settings that face the challenge of engaging a mixed group of educators around the current body of knowledge of assessment so that changes in practice can keep up with the exponential growth in assessment knowledge. Notwithstanding the steady expansion of knowledge regarding assessment methods and best practices, little attention is devoted to educators who are responsible for assessment activities in medical training programmes.

- summary: Because all practising physicians, regardless of specialty, are often required to evaluate CFM cases, increasing scrutiny by the judicial system demands that medical graduates/students undergo satisfactory training in CFM and are informed regarding the consequences of their practices, not only on health, but also in the legal, social and economic domains, as the consequences relate to the rights and quality of life of their patients.[3] We previously demonstrated that some community service doctors (CSDs) lack the required competence to assess and document medicolegal findings relating to rape/sexual assault,[4] inebriated drivers,[5] and common physical assault.[6] These findings revealed a consequential gap in the cognisance and adeptness of medical graduates regarding the practice of clinical forensics, and the necessity for a revised curriculum for CFM to address the inadequacies of undergraduate medical training programmes. We present the perspectives of the abovementioned CSDs on how knowledge of medical graduates of CFM can be improved.

- summary: A second component playing into the concept of knowledge apartheid, relates to the methods of disseminating knowledge that are often inaccessible to some groups, typically those living far away from metropolitan areas, which in essence deprive them of further development. Visvanathan[7] uses the term cognitive justice for what he explains as the ideal situation of knowledge democracy in contrast to the current situation of knowledge apartheid, referring to the notion that only scientifically produced knowledge is true and that prescientific knowledge, produced by people without scientific backgrounds, is inferior.

- summary: Educators involved in revising undergraduate occupational therapy neuro- logy curricula are urged to consider that preparing new graduates for practice in the 21st century necessitates that education and training encompass: • opportunities for interprofessional teamwork, which would facilitate an increased awareness of their own roles and those of other professions to deliver holistic care • a focus on an integrated teaching approach to facilitate optimal integration between neurology-specific content and generic principles of occupational therapy practice • a closer alignment between the outcomes of the undergraduate neurology curriculum and the core competencies that will enable graduates to be competent practitioners • the inclusion of evidence-based practice in teaching in conjunction with nurturing students’ critical appraisal skills to ensure that they are able to select interventions that are most relevant and responsive to their patients’ needs and contexts • emphasis on a functional approach to assessment and treatment • opportunities for students to cultivate their innovative skills so that they are able to work with the existing resources that are readily available within their patients’ contexts. Credibility was obtained by participants’ views, ensuring a good understanding of current neurology practice.

- summary: Furthermore, the effect of student persistence at the societal and economic level can be observed in the production of a highly skilled workforce that is able to generate advanced and creative ideas to improve the economy and society.[6] Student persistence to completion in postgraduate programmes is associated with factors related to students and academic institutions.[1,3] Student-related factors comprise age, time management, time from last degree, learning approaches and social connections, such as peer, family and employer.[7] Factors related to academic institutions include: mode of study, i.e. whether students are enrolled full-time or part-time, faculty support and academic integration.[1,7] Methods A constructivist approach was adopted to understand the phenomenon of student persistence to completion among MPH graduates.

- summary: In part 2 of the questionnaire (simulation modalities), the participants had to give their opinions on each learning outcome and indicate which type of simulation modality (low-tech simulation or high-tech simulation) would be best suited for achieving a learning outcome. The study results clearly indicate that certain processes must be in place and steps should be taken to ensure that adequate learning will occur, and that simulation outcomes are integrated with the objectives and outcomes of the curriculum in an environment that is conducive to learning.

- summary: Community service is a core function of the study university and educators pursue it by ensuring that they build sustainable partnerships to co-ordinate collaborative partnerships with different stakeholders.[4] Annually, child psychiatric nursing students join the specialised child unit for community engagement programmes at the Free State Psychiatric Complex, Bloemfontein, which is an outreach to rural communities. In this approach, nursing students are taught how to engage and educate communities by means of community-outreach programmes that form part of the curriculum.

- summary: There is an urgent need to develop simple health promotion techniques to empower communities with knowledge for the prevention and management of chronic health conditions.6 Health promotion involves actively engaging in strategies that will ultimately provide opportunities to the population to be healthy and to make healthy choices.7 Conventionally, health promotion has been approached as a classroom teaching experience resulting in limited outcomes for students and little or no benefit to the community. This requires a pragmatic change in approaching health promotion in tertiary institutions that would benefit the students and also address the needs of the community.

- summary: A recent study showed that ~54% of radiographers understood and used indicators of exposure in digital X-ray imaging systems.[3] With just more than half of radiographers understanding and using indicators of exposure in digital X-ray imaging systems, enhancing radiographers’ understanding of exposure technique factors (kilovoltage peak (kVp), milliampere and the exposure time (mAs)) in digital X-ray imaging systems is needed to curtail unnecessary exposure to ionising radiation. A structured tutorial demonstrating the effect of mAs on image quality in digital X-ray imaging systems was tried.

- summary: Theme 1: Concept mapping facilitates a deep learning approach Students stated that concept mapping made it easier to create linkages between related concepts that are used to explain physiological processes and also to group related concepts together. By means of concept mapping, students develop critical thinking and judgement skills.[5] Concept maps are underpinned by the assimilation theory of meaningful learning created by the psychologist David Ausubel in 1963.[6]

- flesch: 36
- summary: Recently, there has been an increase in the intake of postgraduate students in universities across SA, but the limited number of competent supervisors increases the workload, thereby undermining their productivity and generally leading to a low output of Master’s and doctoral graduates.[34] The slow rate of completion of postgraduate research programmes by nurses deprives the universities of the various financial subsidies.[23] Supervisors as important role players in postgraduate nursing research Postgraduate supervision is an interactive process, contributing to quality dissertations and theses.[32] Such supervision is also important in fostering improvement in the quality of care and for successful completion of Master’s and doctoral programmes.[35] Supervisors play a pivotal role in influencing the academic progress of postgraduate research nursing students. SA postgraduate nursing research throughput could be improved by enhancing the method of enrolment, and more support for addressing students’ personal and academic-related ordeals to promote completion and graduation rate.[13] Postgraduate nursing research students need emotional support from their supervisors, which October 2020, Vol. 12, No. 3 AJHPE 117 Research helps to encourage them regarding effective output.[32] Adequate provision of structures for accessing information, such as the latest technology and library facilities, enables postgraduate nursing research students to obtain educational material for their studies.[33] Supervisors have an important role in developing appropriate research capacity and competence among students.

- summary: The drive to improve postoperative pain management has been in place for some time, but nurses continue to experience challenges in this area of practice.[7] Accreditation of healthcare organisations in 2000 specifically demands pain assessment and documentation, staff education in pain management and competency assessments, adequate pain control to allow functional rehabilitation, and education of patients and families on pain and symptom management.[7,8] Postoperative pain management is a way of reducing or eliminating pain and discomfort with minimum side-effects after surgery.

- summary: The expectation is that on completion of education and training, students should have good observational, analysis and problem-solving skills, since modern nursing requires awareness of interactions between anatomical and physiological systems in pathological processes.[2] A background in A&P for the 4-year comprehensive basic nursing course is part of strict entry requirements for nursing students. Pinehas et al.[8] revealed that nursing students reported that the examination schedule impacted their performance badly, especially if there was a short break during the examination and one or more modules were written in a day or in a row.

October 2020, Vol. 12, No. 3 AJHPE 155 Research no longer acknowledged as an individual specialised qualification by the SANC, but only as a component of midwifery and child nursing.[12] The categories of nurses in neonatal practice are neonatal nurse specialists (trained between 2000 and 2012), nurses specialised in midwifery, critical care of child nursing, professional nurses acting as shift leaders (senior/ experienced professional nurses who take responsibility for decisions in neonatal practice) and professional nurses and enrolled nurses with a range of experience in neonatal care. None of these could be applied directly to the SA context, since neonatal care takes place in a variety of settings.

- summary: Intimate care model classification[18] Agent Nurse educators Recipients Nursing students Procedure NEIs should acknowledge and accept that intimate care is a skill that needs to be taught and learnt by nursing students Intimate care should be included in the nursing programme or curriculum and be taught to nursing students Dynamic NEIs’ willingness to integrate intimate care as a subject, a clinical objective and procedure in their curriculum Competency of nurse educators in teaching and simulating intimate care skills Age, culture, gender and sexual orientation of nursing students, nurse educators and patients Orientation of professional nurses in clinical facilities in facilitating, supervising and supporting nursing students when providing intimate care Context At NEIs, where nursing students are enrolled in the R425 nursing programme, and at clinical facilities, where nursing students are allocated to clinical exposure, practice and competencies Terminus To improve nurse educators and nursing students’ competence in providing intimate care to patients of different cultures, ages, genders and sexual orientations The interactions between a nurse and a patient are classified as intimate because they cross the patient’s physical and psychological private zones.[4] During intimate care, a nurse and a patient need to establish a relationship in a confined space, where a patient has to allow a stranger to access his/her body’s most intimate parts and, in turn, the nurse has to see and touch a body that is not theirs.[5]

- summary: For dependability, an audit trail (of processes and decisions taken as well as ensuring bracketing) were used as strategies to maintain rigour in the study.[10] Results The coded data resulted in two broad emergent themes that spoke to the deconstruction of patient autonomy and deterrents to the promotion of autonomy. The proposition of autonomy as individualistic has been widely recognised, with a more recent definition of personal autonomy as ‘self-rule free of controlling interferences by others’.[5] Relational autonomy, on the other hand, considers autonomy as socially embedded, and with a view that self-determination is both defined and pursued in a social context, which influences the opportunities a patient has to express or develop autonomy.[6] There has been a turn in the last decade towards autonomy in patient care.

- summary: The development of trusting relationships, listening to families’ stories and learning about old age take place during home visits.[4] Students reported that they gained confidence and self-esteem.[4] NLG observed that at the institution of higher education where she was involved, first-year students seemed reluctant to interact with the community, which was evident from frequent apologies not to carry out home visits, by remaining in the bus that transported them to the community, and from disappearing into the community. Twenty-four nursing students were purposively selected from the 2017 and 2018 first-year cohorts who did home visits in the same community.

- summary: Simulation using high-fidelity manikins is used to teach student nurses skills that are necessary to reduce the frequency and harm attributable to errors in the healthcare setting.[1,2] Nurse educators need to use high-fidelity simulation (HFS) to enhance clinical skills development in student nurses due to limited clinical exposure, difficulty in clinical placements and decreasing learning opportunities during work-integrated learning, especially as experienced in the private healthcare environment.[2,3] Simulation training encourages the student nurse to use higher-order thinking skills while in a safe environment, to make sense of and to integrate new experience into the schema that they are constructing of ‘how things are’.

- flesch: 40
- summary: Insufficient and inefficient clinical teaching has stressed the need for strategies to improve clinical education, including the use of simulation.[5] Simulation-based medical education is an educational method that makes use of simulation to bridge the gap between theory and practice.[6] Regarding medical simulation, the word simulation means ‘imitation of the operation of a real-world process or system over time’.[7] Over the past 30 years, new technologies in medicine have revolutionised patient diagnosis and care. April 2021, Vol. 13, No. 1 AJHPE 29 Research Evidence of the role of simulation in medical education has emphasised the use of simulation technology over the past number of decades in an effort to increase learner knowledge, to provide students with controlled and safe practice opportunities, and to shape the acquisition of doctors’ clinical skills.[1-3] Simulation is becoming an integral part of medical education at all levels,[1-3] as medical education, for various reasons, has fast become subject to radical and innovative changes.

- summary: However, clinical educators need to hold patient care and student clinical teaching in the same regard to improve the supervisory process. The success of this interaction may be related to the behaviour of the student clinician, clinical educator, client or the training programme in which the clinical educator and student clinician are involved.[5]

Instead, recent reports suggest that feedback is a complex, bidirectional, sociocultural process.[1,3] Evolving ideas on feedback Moving forward, recent work suggests a subtle shift away from fixed feedback guidelines.[3-5] Feedback is one of the major influences on learning, but those effects can be either positive or negative.[3,4]

- summary: A recent study in Uganda argued that training medical students in the principles of TM was feasible and may improve health outcomes; therefore, integration should not be delayed.[12] Curricular reforms Health professions education systems in SA, due to their roots in imperialism, colonialism and apartheid, often produce providers who are incompletely equipped to properly care for many patients, specifically the black African population.[13] Recognition of this deficit has led to a movement to decolonise the nation’s graduate education system, including medical schools.[13] Medical students in SA recognise the value of increased exposure to and education surrounding the traditional health system.

- summary: A single night’s sleep deprivation may lead to a significant decrease in a doctor’s ability to complete complex tasks and reduce their problem-solving skills.[10] Along with the decline in performance, it was also noted that other issues, such as reduced vigilance, patient aversion, loss of empathy, over-optimistic risk-taking, prolonged post-call recovery and adverse events in the medical field, were triggered by the effects of sleep deprivation resulting from long shifts.[10-12] Medical students need to be prepared for the requirements of their profession and long working hours to maintain their cognitive abilities and decision-making to the fullest.[13,14] The performance of students improves when they are confident about their abilities, anxiety is reduced, and they can think more clearly when posed with a problematic situation.[15] The Clinical Simulation and Skills Unit at the Faculty of Health Sciences (FoHS), University of the Free State (UFS), Bloemfontein, SA, allows lecturers at the FoHS to train medical students on technical and non- technical aspects required by their profession (personal communication, Prof. MJ Labuschagne, Clinical Simulation Unit, School of Clinical Medicine, Background.

Methods Exploratory-descriptive qualitative research was conducted to explore OT students’ experiences of using case study as a teaching strategy to learn about spirituality.

- summary: In this model, students are involved in four aspects, which are: • going through a new experience or gaining a new perspective of an existing experience • interpreting and reflecting on the experience • a learning experience is put into a new context • the learner applies new understanding to reality to test its validity.[3] Students were exposed to a new experience in visualising the AFP in a dynamic teaching format. Radiography relies heavily on analogue and digital machines to create images for diagnostic purposes, and it is important that radiography students are trained in both these aspects to align their skills with the available resources in different healthcare settings.[2]

As each student had an opportunity to generate a case report, there was an excess of reports, which meant some of them were not attempted by other students.

Rather, collaborative learning is an approach that gives students an opportunity to engage and deliberate, develop socialised intelligence, take responsibility for their own learning and thus become critical thinkers.[²,³] Team‑based learning promotes active group learning while decreasing facilitator dependence, which was an important consideration, given the added clinical workload that healthcare workers faced due to the COVID‑19 pandemic.

- summary: December 2021, Vol. 13, No. 4 AJHPE 215 Short Report Near-peer teaching (NPT) is an education modality in which a more senior student provides teaching to junior students within the same curriculum.[1] Previous studies have demonstrated the benefits of NPT programmes, with student learners (SLs) reporting subjectively improved confidence, knowledge and skills following NPT interventions.[2] Near-peer tutors (NTs) also report benefits from involvement in NPT programmes, attributing these to the reinforcement of previously learnt concepts and improved time management, leadership and teaching skills.[3] Teaching is a key competency for undergraduate students identified by the Medical and Dental Professions Board of the Health Professions Council of South Africa (SA).[4] However, opportunities to formally develop teaching skills are rare in undergraduate medical training, despite the expectation for junior doctors, registrars and consultants to ultimately fulfil teaching roles. NPT programmes may offer students an opportunity to better prepare for these roles.

- summary: The understanding of textual materials does not require the full range of QL competencies demanded by the curriculum, which also includes more active tasks, such as practical activities, which students complete both individually and collaboratively. In countries like South Africa, where broadened access is a prior- ity and students begin their study of medicine immediately after leaving secondary school, there is a need for curriculum changes that reduce the ‘articulation gap’8 which exists in many cases between the QL demands of curricula and the students’ QL competencies.

- summary: CEs are also challenged when facilitating students’ learning in these complex clinical contexts, while providing effective service to patients.[2] Skill in clinical reasoning (CR) is necessary to guide students and educators in assessing, assimilating, retrieving and/or discarding components of information that affect patient care.[3,4] Failure to develop CR is considered one of the key reasons for students’ lack of confidence and effectiveness in the clinical area, ultimately influencing their academic success.[5] While the explicit development of CR is a foundation requirement of entry-level practice education,[6] it cannot be assumed to develop in the absence of specific educational strategies.[4] Clinical reasoning (CR) is a skill acquired by students under supervision of clinical educators (CEs) when transitioning from classroom to clinical practice to optimise patient care.

- summary: Responses to the overall programme Restructure the curriculum: Most of the participants made recommendations for changes to the curriculum so that there is improved scaffolding and ‘integration of subjects in order for naturopathic subjects to be taught earlier as two years is not enough to teach a naturopathic course’ (participant 6). This guideline, as well as subsequent documents,[6] aimed to set standards for training to ensure the safety of the public, create awareness of the different levels of training for naturopaths, to assist governments in regulating and accrediting practitioners and ultimately to promote the integration of naturopathy into the public health system.[1] In 2016, based on the findings of a global survey of naturopathic educational institutions, the World Naturopathic Federation (WNF)[3] established that there is global uniformity in the type of curriculum used in naturopathic training programmes.

The relationships between poverty, food security and disability are bi-directional as one can cause the other.[4-6] For example, poverty results in limited purchasing power for food and limited intake, rendering the individual unable to work, further reducing available income.

- summary: ERT has been used as the ‘least-worst option’ to school closure,[1] ensuring that student learning continues and the academic year is not entirely lost to the pandemic. Although Botswana has a high penetration of cellular phones,[15] internet access is relatively expensive and not commonly used, especially non-cellular high- speed internet.[9] Study population and sampling All 289 undergraduate medical students and the 84 medical teaching staff were included in the study.

- summary: Because the HPCSA is not a training body, it is ultimately incumbent upon the universities to interpret these requirements, provide MMed research training and supervision, manage assessment, and ensure the acquisition of research competence among trainees.[15] In general, and much like specialist training before 2010, there appears to be no uniform teaching and learning strategy for MMed research between institutions and disciplines. It is perhaps unlikely that MMed research will contribute to a critical mass of clinical researchers because only very few specialists will enter research careers after graduating.

- date: 2022-06-09

- flesch: 52
- summary: Respondents’ preference for a combination of online and face-to-face teaching is similar to other studies’ findings that medical students still attribute greater value to face-to-face learning, and regard online learning instead as a useful supplement to, but not a replacement for, face- to-face teaching.[9,28] A blended learning approach could be more appropriate in the SA context; Bagarukayo and Kalema[29] found that SA student populations within and between institutions had variable baseline ICT skill sets and learning preferences, which a blended approach could mitigate. The maldistribution of healthcare practitioners has been referred to as ‘a particularly critical issue’.[6] A model of decentralised training for the SA context developed at a workshop held in 2015 involving the country’s nine medical schools identified the availability of information and communications technology (ICT) as one of five critical factors for successful decentralised training.[7] The benefits of online learning have located ICTs in the mainstream of medical curricula,[8] where it is at least as effective as traditional lecture-based learning in terms of knowledge and skills gained.[9]

- summary: The aim of these sessions is to facilitate collaboration between community members diagnosed with diabetes mellitus and health professions IPE student groups (dietetic, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, medicine, nursing and optometry students). Relational vitality refers to feelings of positive stimulation by others and a heightened sense of positive energy.[7] Subjective relational experiences can lead to higher levels of self-efficacy; it can facilitate engagement and innovation, as individuals exhibit particular behaviours when they are cognitively vigilant and emotionally connected to others.[10] Common-interest groups that actively involve community members as partners in their own health and have a transformative effect on those communities is a consequence of these commonalities.[11] To facilitate participation by community members from different cultural, socio-economic and political backgrounds, Roos[12] states that they might communicate their relational experiences better visually.

- summary: June 2022, Vol. 14, No. 2 AJHPE 89 Research Learning management systems (LMS) are indispensable teaching and learning tools in nursing education,[1-4] and in recent years LMS have become a cornerstone to support online learning, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic.[5-8] Online learning, particularly the use of LMS, has grown exponentially in the sphere of general education, with information and communication technology (ICT) integrating the active learning principles of reflection, interaction and engagement.[1,9,10] An LMS such as modular object-orientated dynamic learning environment (Moodle) provides a comprehensive educational process through its extensive educational content, control, monitoring and eval uating of knowledge quality,[11] hence improving educational outcomes.[4,12] Using an LMS has major implications for students and institutions, as it provides opportunities to create a well-designed, student-centred, interactive, affordable, efficient and flexible online learning environment.[13,14] Furthermore, LMS helps students to access learning resources and communicate with each other and teachers, both synchronously and asynchronously.[15] Synchronous online learning involves interaction between students and facilitators at a specified time, despite the students and facilitators being in different places. Online learning allows students to reflect upon each message posted, provide an adequate response and participate in a thoughtful manner, which is more considered and reflective than is possible in a face- to-face session.[2,13] Collaboration among students is essential in online learning.

- summary: Article 3 December 2011, Vol. 3, No. 2 AJHPE Introduction The educational system for medical laboratory sciences in East Africa, which began about 1960,1 has resulted in the production of a pool of medical laboratory technologists with the responsibility to carry out rou- tine diagnostic laboratory tests in hospitals and health centres. Analysis of the qualitative responses in support of the introduction of the postgraduate diploma programme yielded seven themes, which included manpower scale-up in medical laboratories, production of better-quali- fied and more competent medical laboratory personnel, creation of more opportunities for medical laboratory technologists, improved medical laboratory and health care services, professional development in medical laboratory sciences, more technological development in the biosciences in Uganda, and aligning Uganda with current trends in other countries.

- summary: Mode scores of professionalism attributes indicating the most agreement (7 and above on a scale of 0 - 10) and least agreement (3 and below) for dietetics students (N=109) It seems also that the attainment of these attributes is not instantaneous, indicating the need to determine whether it is continuous or staged over the years of study.11 Taylor advises that the ‘theory of professionalism must be constructed in dialogue with those we are instructing’ and as such, the first step is to determine what students understand by the term ‘professionalism’.12 To take up this challenge for dietetics, this observational, cross-sectional descriptive study determined which attributes of professionalism dietetic students deem important and relevant to their profession.

- summary: Patients generally expressed the desire to play a role in students’ learning, but none commented on their rights as patients. Patient-student encounters Data on patient-student encounters included the number of third-year students needing to see patients (210 per week), the number of ward patients suitable for examination (110 per week), the number of times these patients were seen by third-year students (10 times per week), how often patients refused to be examined by third-year students (approximately 30 per week), and whether the selected patients had clinical signs (75%). While students experienced significant challenges in sourcing suitable patients for interviewing and examination, the majority placed such value on the interaction with real patients that benefits outweighed the challenges.

- summary: To enhance undergraduate physiotherapy education, educators should aim to become more aware of these diverse approaches to master new material.[3] Learning styles are a useful instrument to help students and researchers understand how to improve the way they learn and teach, respectively. Learning styles or preferences are multifaceted ways in which learners perceive, process, store and recall what they are trying to learn.[4] Studies on preferred learning styles among physiotherapy students were primarily conducted abroad in developed countries such as Canada and Australia.[2,5]

- summary: O’Sullivan et al.[8] join the conversation about the nature of HPE research by advocating for more collaborative research. The argument is no longer that we should perform HPE research, but that we need to engage more in clarificatory research, and to further strengthen the work, we also need to collaborate more frequently.

- summary: The opinion of former students and their retrospective assessment of the training are not only likely to stimulate curricular debates, which can be very useful to current or future students, but also to inform policy makers and institutions about the contribution of these professionals to national development.[13] The current study focused on tracing radiography graduates from Makerere University, Kampala, Uganda over a 10-year period. The purpose of this study was to track career paths of radiography graduates in Uganda, examine their contribution to their profession, and establish their opinions on how to improve training and inform policy.

- summary: We observed major differences in perceptions between students (as members of Generation Y) and lecturers (who belong to previous generations), which may foster conflict and misunderstanding and contribute to the contemporary view that teaching this generational cohort is an important challenge in health sciences education.[19] Students and lecturers shared a positive view that Generation Y students are friendly and pleasant, confident, assertive and optimistic about the future. Information was obtained on the shared and contrasting perceptions of students and lecturers, typical characteristics of Generation Y students, and issues of significance that may impact on health sciences education and then scrutinising these in light of current pedagogical theory.

Although the response rate was only 37%, the findings of this study are reassuring as they suggest that medical graduates from SU perceive themselves to be adequately prepared for evaluating and managing individual patients, and for essential clinical duties and responsibilities associated with good patient care.

Stress and distress among medical students may lead to physical, psychological and academic difficulties; damaging effects on empathy, ethical conduct, and professionalism; personal consequences such as substance abuse, broken relationships, and suicidal ideation; and also contribute to burnout and dropout.[13-15] Examples of institutionally provided medical stu- dent support services directed at reducing stress include counselling, wellness programmes, cognitive behavioural approaches, and peer mentor programmes.[16-18] Transport challenges were recently highlighted as a major source of stress among medical and allied healthcare students.[19]

- flesch: 51
- summary: Given the pivotal role that simulation plays in teaching students clinical skills, it is important to understand the students’ perception of using simulation laboratories. One of the elements that fosters a deep approach is active learning, where the student is actively involved.[4] Clinical simulation is a method of active learning that offers students a wide range of learning opportunities, including ways of applying theory to practice by bringing principles learned in the classroom to life.[1]

- summary: In accordance with the Occupational Therapy Professional Board’s Minimum Standards for the Training of Occupational Therapists, the curricula should include ethics as part of the undergraduate training programme.[4] Research indicates that OT students are mostly aware of the correct course of action, but often feel constrained to act in another way as a result of institutional and/or societal rules.[5] Ethics training strives to facilitate critical thinking, objective analysis and clinical reasoning skills to equip students with the ability to make an impartial and unbiased decision in different contexts and diverse client populations, which enhances students’ learning experiences.[6] Ethical training is guided by a consequential framework, where the outcome should guide the behaviour of clinicians, or a rule-based (deontological) approach, where rules (i.e. codes of ethics) should guide the conduct of a professional. The findings highlight the salient themes of ethical dilemmas that OT students face during fieldwork practice.

- summary: The UYDF SS model includes the selection by rural hospitals of rural students with the potential to train as HCPs, comprehensive funding for students, a compulsory mentoring programme and hospital-based experiential vacation work. Th eoretical model Although there are many theoretical models to study the reasons why students succeed or fail at institutions of higher learning (IHLs), Tinto’s theory of engagement and persistence has been the major theoretical/explanatory model about student success at IHLs since the 1980s.[11,12] Tinto’s initial writing focused only on academic and social integration as key factors in determining engagement and persistence at IHLs and, finally, success at university.

- flesch: 52
- summary: As there are usually more medical than dental students, shared curricula are often designed from a pure medical perspective, which may result in a situation where medical students perceive the curriculum to be relevant to them, while dental students perceive the opposite.[3] Relevance, however, is a key element in adult learning.[12] Adult learners mostly decide what is relevant or not. A large percentage of dental students thought that they are being excluded or stereotyped by faculty and that medical students are considered to be superior, which may be detrimental to the learning process and of little value for interdisciplinary co-operation.

- summary: There is an increasing awareness of the centrality of generic learning skills underpinning success at university and fostering effective life-long learning.[2] Many higher educational courses have introduced explicit generic skills training in their programmes to ensure that these skills are embedded early.[3] Globally, school curricula strive to ensure that such skills are introduced. These responsive curriculum changes after evaluation had the intended positive effect on students’ self- reported acquisition of generic learning skills.

- summary: Rural background and longitudinal rural clerkships for medical students including training at rural medical schools are established predictors for rural practice. There are challenges when considering that the main role of a rural clinical attachment for medical students is to encourage students to return after graduation to practise in rural areas; such a view may lead to relative neglect of other potential valuable roles of rural exposure.

- summary: The results suggest that interventions should address student stressors at a generic student level and at the level of the academic year. In such instances student stress can be reduced through training to develop inter- personal relationships with patients to foster understanding of the patient’s life context and so improve co-operation.[20] Longitudinal studies have been suggested to better the understanding of stressors identified and to monitor at-risk students to inform appro- priate interventions.[11,12,21,23,29]

- summary: Medical educators have therefore attempted to conceptualise professional identity development in terms of their teaching and learning contexts.[3-5] Social identity theory has been proposed and applied as one conceptual framework for the understanding of professional identity development, as it aims to define and explain the social and individual factors and processes that influence an individual’s sense of belonging to a specific social group, which encompasses professional groups.[3-7] In pharmacy education, the development of a professional identity has remained problematic, which may largely be attributed to the dearth of literature that properly defines, teaches and assesses professionalism.[8] The structure of this article is as follows: firstly, some of the concepts of professional identity development are discussed, primarily in terms of social identity theory.[13]

- summary: Despite the recognised interdependence of healthcare professionals, the approach to professional licensing remains uniprofessional, resulting in a significant measure of disconnect between pre-registration and post- registration practice where interprofessional care is essential. Secondly, the core content of interprofessional education, including the core competencies required for effective teamwork such as respect between professionals, learning about professional roles and healthcare systems, leadership, conflict resolution and ethics, has already been outlined by organisations such as the World Health Organization.[7]

The South African Medical Association (SAMA) board has concluded that the CPD services associated with the South African Medical Journal (incorporating Continuing Medical Education) and the South African Journal of Bioethics and Law will only be off ered to registered and fully paid-up SAMA members, as per the SAMA member benefi t schedule; therefore, you will be required to register a profi le on the MPC CPD system (if you do not already have one – if you already have one, login as usual) and to supply your SAMA membership number.

- summary: Such trips assist students in the development of ideas and a deeper understanding around the field/profession and prevent the straight- forward memorisation of facts.[6,7] Field trips enhance students’ awareness on a cognitive and an affective level,[8] which often cannot be achieved in the classroom.[9] Cognitive learning is achieved when students can make connections among and interpret different aspects of a subject to apply what they have learned in other fields of practice or the profession.[7] Field trips also result in increased memory.[8] From the literature reviewed, field trips are commonly included in subjects such as geography and museum studies,[5-9] biology and ecology[10] and law.[11] Discussion The impact of an intervention in the form of field trips on student perceptions was researched through an exploratory mixed-method approach.

Discussion The evolution of a portfolio as a tool for the assessment of professional competence and development offers several advantages over the tradi- tional standard tests which, to a large extent, are ‘reductionist’ and do not capture progression over time.3 Application of portfolio assessment in medical laboratory sciences education is not widespread, and only a few reports are available in the literature.4 This study has demonstrated that portfolio development and assessment is well accepted in the Medical Laboratory Sciences programme.

- summary: Given the increased intake of postgraduate students, the central issue confronting research supervisors concerns how academics can achieve quality postgraduate research supervision and accelerate graduate throughput rates.[6,7] Research supervisors at higher education institutions are increasingly challenged to facilitate the learning of postgraduate students from diverse backgrounds by innovative and progressive research supervision methods.[2] Furthermore, postgraduate research supervision is increas- ingly seen as a teaching and learning construct that fosters deep learning and critical inquiry.[1] The aim of this study was to explore the experiences and practices of nurse academics with regard to postgraduate research supervision.

- summary: A questionnaire was used to quantify which competencies or skills student tutors thought they had obtained through the facilitation of the tutorial sessions. One of the main reasons cited for this is that students are perceived as equals and identify more easily with student tutors; this also assists with gaining confidence when engaging in learning material with one another.[2] Lockspeiser et al.[3] proposed a ‘cognitive congruence hypothesis’ which states that a teacher with a similar knowledge base to the learner is more effective than one who is an expert in the field but with a disparate knowledge base.

The health workforce will thus need to be not only clinically competent, but hold competencies, skills, knowledge and behaviours on how to function within a resource-constrained environment as socially responsible change agents that make a difference to their communities.[4,6,7] The Medical Education Partnership Initiative (MEPI) is a US President’s Emergency Fund for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)-funded response to improving human resources for health in Africa and focuses on three aims, namely: increasing human resource capacity through enhancing the quality of medical education and quantity of medical graduates; facilitating the retention of medical faculty and graduates; and enhancing locally relevant research.[6] Thirteen African medical schools received programmatic awards and an additional 17 African and 18 US medical schools are involved in building communities of practice and creating sustainable solutions.

- summary: October 2014, Vol.6, No. 2 AJHPE 165 Research Curriculum reform has received an enormous amount of attention in the field of medical education in recent years, particularly after the World Federation for Medical Education generated the Edinburgh Declaration of 12 principles for reforming medical education in 1988.[1] Studies have shown that medical schools and students benefit from the evolution of curriculum change and innovation in constructing new curricula.[2-4] Consequently, many medical schools worldwide have developed new curricula to produce medical graduates committed to lifelong, self-directed learning.[5,6] Despite considerable changes in Iranian medical education in the past three decades, curriculum reform has not yet been welcomed. The increased number of medical schools and medical students along with free medical education has, to some extent, remedied Iran’s shortage of doctors so that all rural areas now benefit from the healthcare system.

- summary: The overall objective of the new research module was formulated to provide students with lifelong skills in obtaining, evaluating, synthesising and forming clinical recommendations, as well as applying research evidence to the clinical setting. The eleven-item PEDro scale[13] is utilised to assess the study’s internal validity (criteria 2 - 9), external validity (criteria 1) and the statistical accuracy for interpretation purposes (criteria 10 - 11) • Students receive extensive training in how to use the PEDro scale for critical appraisal and their skills in using the PEDro scale are also tested as part of formative and summative assessment Step 4 – interpreting the evidence and applying research evidence: application of appraised evidence to clinical practice •

- summary: Patients should be informed about the role of students at teaching hospitals and about their rights and responsibilities as patients. Bedside teaching involves a process where leaners use their senses − hearing, vision, smell and touch − to learn about the patient[4] to enhance their humanistic skills, which are often neglected in classroom settings.[5] The process requires students to spend unsupervised time with patients, from whom they take histories and on whom they perform physical examinations independently.[1]

- summary: [3] described mentoring as a voluntary relationship between a more experienced professional and an apprentice, many of the mentorship programmes for student doctors are strongly encouraged or compulsory.[2] Unlike informal mentoring, which attracts high achievers, participants in formal mentorship programmes are more representative of the general student population.[4,5] Therefore, formal mentorship programmes ensure that a broader range of student doctors become mentees, who have the opportunity to discuss career planning, work-life balance, personal problems, and study skills with their mentors.[5,6] Mentorship of student doctors in a community of practice is more likely to transpire when there is a rapport between the mentor and the mentee.[7,8] Mentors and student doctors who have experienced the same curriculum find it easier to build a rapport.[8] Rapport is also improved when the demographic profile, personality traits, experiences, and personal and professional interests of the mentor correspond to those of the mentee.[5,9]

- summary: While these reasons are all valid and important, it is somewhat disappointing to learn that robust evidence, demonstrating better health outcomes for patients managed by trainees who have undertaken simulation- based training, compared with those who have not, is still lacking.[6-9,11] Okuda et al.[6] made the point quite clearly by stating the following: ‘As simulation becomes increasingly prevalent in medical school and resident education, more studies are needed to see if simulation training improves patient outcomes’. Many will say that this question has already been answered and provide a list of important reasons why clinical simulation training centres are essential, including: (i) concerns about patient safety; (ii) risk of injury to trainees; (iii) medico-legal consequences of procedural errors; (iv) need for a ‘safe’ learning environment where errors can be made and remediated without dire consequences; (v) reduction in time needed to become proficient in the requisite skills; and most recently (vi) need for additional appropriate training opportunities in circumstances where the clinical teaching platform has become overloaded

- summary: Underfunding of Uganda’s higher institutions is so severe that ex- penditure per student is declining while enrolments are increasing rap- idly in this era of technology and science.2 Inadequate funding to train students in experimental sciences results in teaching programmes being dominated by verbal communication, undermining the quality of the technical training.3 Insufficient facilities have increased the training of graduates in arts and the humanities, whose fields of study are not critical to priorities of Uganda’s development. Most programmes offered in Uganda’s tertiary education are theoretical with little practical application and hence irrelevant to the job market.1 To implement cost-effective interventions, health workers must have the appropriate skills, competencies and training.

- summary: In the 21st century, health science faculties need to be more than institutions of education where health science students develop the knowledge, skills and competencies for becoming health professionals. Traditional curricula have not kept pace with rising inequities in health and emerging health risks and continue to graduate students who lack the competencies to address these challenges.[7] It is therefore essential that medical students learn and practise in settings that provide authentic community exposure, to develop their capacity for social change.[8,9] We define this capacity in terms of transformative education of students as agents of change towards better patient care and greater health equity.

This in-depth analysis of assessment methods has highlighted areas where current practice needs to be investigated in greater depth, and where shifts to a more coherent practice should be encouraged.

- summary: Secondly, students perceived prejudice against qualitative research methods in natural science faculties, which according to the literature have been only recently introduced in the health sciences.[13] Students were faced with this dilemma and needed to defend or even change their research proposals, after spending several months on planning research topics to which qualitative research was better suited. Funding was obtained from the Norwegian government under the NOrway MAsters (NOMA) programme, through the Centre of International Cooperation in Education (SIU), to strengthen universities in the south, supporting two cohorts of students from the universities in Africa, each for a period of 2 years (2011 - 2012 and 2012 - 2013).[8] Norwegian students were also accepted for the module but they supported themselves financially.

- summary: However, students should also be advised that they will not always fully understand a foreign culture, that it is often helpful to assume the role of the ‘respected outsider’ and be encouraged to focus on commonality rather than separateness.[19] Generally, the need to develop competence generates an intrinsic interest in what is being learnt.[10] Students who previously had a strictly scientific approach to nutrition were drawn to participate in the module because of their keen interest in the link between nutrition and human rights.

- summary: Several international studies have noted the influence of healthcare professionals on the consumption of generic medicines; however, very little knowledge on the SA perspective has been previously researched.[3,4] Generic medicines are the therapeutic equivalents of proprietary, branded or innovator medicines.[5] Since the abolition of apartheid, the SA healthcare system has undergone drastic reform, with one of the main priorities being to ensure the availability and affordability of quality healthcare for all citizens.[1] In 2001, the SA government amended the Medicines and Related Substances Act 101 of 1965, obligating pharmacists to inform all patients of the benefits of generic medicine substitution.[2]

- summary: These findings were similar to those of a study of occupational therapists, which showed that students displayed less confidence when engaging with the processes of evidence-based practice.[10] This was also similar to the study in Norway where it was evident that although students value evidence- based practice and recognise it as a vital part of clinical practice, they continue to feel that they need more training in it.[3] This was the same for another SA study that also found students had access to the internet on campus.[9] Contrary to the literature[3] that indicated that undergraduate students found it difficult to determine if research evidence was valid and appli- cable, the students in the current study showed some confidence in assess- ing research evidence.

Critical care (CC)-trained nurses are expected to have the expertise to perform a variety of practical procedures on patients, but even more importantly, they should be able to integrate information about a patient in order to provide holistic and effective care.

- summary: Fortunately, there were several ‘pioneers’ of curriculum reform around the world from whom all South African medical schools could learn – among which were the new medical schools at the universities of McMaster, Limburg in Maastricht (the Netherlands) and Newcastle (Australia), those that had adopted problem-based learning such as Liv- erpool, Manchester and Sydney, those that had community-based cur- ricula such as Ben Gurion University at Ber Sheba (Israel), University of New Mexico and WSU here in South Africa, and those that had led the way in educational reform such as Harvard where the ‘new pathway’ of problem-based learning was adopted in 1985.8 Prompted to change, there was at last an acknowledgement on the part of those concerned with medical education, and who found them- Article 12 August 2010, Vol. 2, No. 1 AJHPE Article selves leading the processes of curriculum transformation at their par- ticular medical school, that: • adults do indeed learn differently: the work of cognitive psy- chologists has shown that adult learners see themselves as self- directing and responsible and possess an accumulation of expe- rience as a resource for their own learning … medical students learn best if provided with a clinical context for their learning.14,15 Such contact with real patient problems, research has shown, leads to deep levels of processing, and thus memorising of information and the development of concepts in contradistinction to the su- perficial, even rote, learning resorted to in a largely lecture-based course. Impact of problem-based curriculum on the learning styles and strategies of medical students at the University of Transkei.

- summary: According to the African Federation of Emergency Medicine (AFEM), there are specialist-level graduates of EM training programmes from South Africa (SA), Ghana, Tanzania, and Ethiopia, with several new programmes with first generations of trainees in Rwanda and Botswana, among other African nations.[1] Now that African EM has taken shape as a specialty-level discipline with academic and departmental leadership at major universities, new chal- lenges have emerged for the continued success of the nascent field. African EM training programmes have used small-group learning (SGL) modalities in their curricula.

- flesch: 50
- summary: When students were actively engaged, and when they participated in lectures and felt that they were connected with the institutional community, these factors contributed to student success.[13] International results highlight that collecting data on self-regulated learning among medical students and on student participation in learning activities, may ‘help medical schools to identify students who are at risk for poor performance early in their training’.[13] Students’ confidence in their individual academic-related skills plays a role in their motivation to achieve, and although student perceptions may be self-reported, there is an association between level of practice of a skill and confidence to use the skill.[14] The newly developed LLLS module in the LDP at the Faculty of Health Sciences, UFS, is aligned with the abovementioned research findings, and aims to help students to address their goals, function in a small and nurtured environment, and overcome their academic shortcomings in positive ways. This trend was in line with a recent study among medical students in China, which showed that student engagement in lectures and recognition that effort needed to be put into studies, directly contributed to achievement.[16] In the second part of the survey, students indicated the generic skills development continued to be useful in the academic year that followed, as they studied timeously and more effectively.

- summary: This challenge can be addressed by finding ways of supporting the process of HPE research capacity in developing countries rather than trying to establish why these countries have such limited visibility in prestigious journals. This initiative aims to expand the publication footprint of AJHPE by including more work from HPE institutions beyond the borders of South Africa.

- summary: Furthermore, lack of time, support, appropriate equipment and fear of using HFS simulation as a pedagogy create negative perceptions, and result in underutilisation.[12] Findings to date suggest that there are mixed perceptions among lecturers regarding the impact on training of using HFS in teaching.[10] In Dowie and Phillips’[13] study, 90% of educators were using HFS, although only 35% of them had been trained in its use. There is a need to support this motivation and willingness through formally training educators, which can potentially promote HFS use and destigmatise the educators’ experiences and perceptions of not using or improperly using HFS.[5,7,13]

- summary: Creating opportunities for greater community participation by medical students will culminate in professional behaviour and learning that cannot be simulated in the classroom. Early exposure to experiential learning for medical students enhances their understanding of the social determinants of health and the needs of a population, helping them in the development of the interpersonal skills that facilitate empathetic attitudes towards their patients.[3] Early experiences also nurture professional identities and promote social responsiveness among medical students; responsiveness, in turn, fosters doctors’ accountability to the communities they serve.[4] Socially accountable medical schools are required to direct their education, research and service activities to address priority health concerns in collabora- tion with stakeholders of the communities they serve.[5]

- summary: Often there is an implicit expectation that students at university, including students studying towards a professional qualification such as medicine, will through their years of study adopt the ‘way of doing’ that defines the chosen discipline.10,11 To our knowledge, however, no formal research has been conducted to investigate the dis- course used by medical students during clinical case presentations and how or whether the level of discourse used may link to performance. The re- cordings were done during the general surgery rotation, where students Abstract Introduction: The need for medical students to adopt a discourse ap- propriate to the field is repeatedly emphasised by teaching staff dur- ing lectures and ward rounds.

- summary: Dental students are seen as role-models for promoting good oral health behaviour, yet there is little published evidence in South Africa (SA) that describes student knowledge and attitudes towards their own oral healthcare. Similarly, triclosan and essential oils (a mixture of thymol, eucalyptol, methyl salicylate and menthol) have demonstrated effectiveness in reducing plaque and gingivitis, but have also failed in reducing dental caries rates.[13,14] Dental students are exposed to these various measures in oral health individual self-care practices in the undergraduate training programme.

I want to reason that it is clear from these two arguments that we need to fearlessly cross the boundaries and engage in collaborative clarification research that could possibly be our best contribution towards engendering hope.

- summary: However, higher education is not well positioned to help students develop the competencies needed to work with wicked problems in complex social systems. Even though we cannot solve wicked problems, we can move them forward by learning how to adapt to change, generate new knowledge, and continue to improve performance.[1] Interprofessional education may be a possible strategy to develop the requisite competencies necessary for health practictioners to work within complex systems.

- summary: Although the current life expectancy in Uganda is still below 65 years, projections indicate that in the next five decades the number of OAs and therefore potential geriatric patients in Uganda will be nine times greater than currently.2 The demographic transition from a young to an older population is usually accompanied by increased prevalence of chronic diseases, both physical and psychological.4,5 Reports from developed countries show that as people become older, they experience more chronic and multiple health problems due to lowered immunity, existing medical conditions and difficulty in accessing health care services.6 In Uganda, 40% of OAs have a disability and as a group they are among those most affected by poverty, malaria, HIV/AIDS, poor housing, mal- nutrition, and poor access to health care and water.8,9 The two trends of increasing numbers of OAs and increased chronic health problems or disability are enormous challenges to health care systems, health professional training institutions and policy makers who are required to meet the changing and complex needs of OAs.

- summary: More than 66% of each stakeholder population agreed that there is: • a lack of family medicine physicians currently in Zambia • the desire for Zambia to have a training programme for family medicine physicians • a recognition of the role that family medicine physicians can play in improving Zambia’s health landscape • a sense that family medicine will be welcome within the professional ranks of medical specialists • an acknowledgement of the central roles within the Zambian health system that family medicine physicians might inhabit. Many countries in the region face a similar set of issues, and have looked to family medicine as a strategy to improve their country’s health outcomes.[1,2]

- summary: The development and implementation of wellness programmes into registrar training are both essential and urgently needed.[8,16] The first step towards addressing this problem is to describe the magnitude of registrar burnout. These added stressors of doctors working in resource-limited settings may lead to higher rates of burnout.[9,10] There are only a few published reports on registrar burnout from sub- Saharan Africa, with the majority from South Africa (SA).

- summary: Students of medicine could benefit if they are given the tools to adopt a role as HCP instead of attempting to immerse themselves in the medical identity of a HCP.[3,4] Incorporating some non-assuming facets of the art of performance into the training of medical students could assist them with the ability to step in and out of the role of HCP, which could afford them the opportunity to reflect on their actions to gain new insights into the strengths and weaknesses of their own practices.[6] Medical students might learn to adapt to the setting in a hospital or consultation room in a similar manner: a setting reminding them that they are surrounded by an environ- ment that offers certain prerequisites for them to take on the role of a HCP.

- summary: With rapid changes in the demographic profiles of junior doctors, SA intern trainers need to enable a ‘sense of belonging’ in LEs. The effect of the LE appears to be mediated by the trainees’ own perceptions thereof, and this has been shown to be an important determinant of attitude, satisfaction and achievements.[3,4] An optimally functioning clinical LE, where medical interns perceive it as such, is important for successful training in any platform to develop competent physicians.[5]

- summary: SA intern assessment is largely focused on core clinical competency, and this occurs without using competency-based frameworks. The emphasis on procedural skills in acute emergencies possibly reflects the narrow interpretation of the role SA interns are expected to play within institutional hierarchical systems, and disregard for assessing their competence in knowledge, attitudes and non-clinical functions.

- summary: There is sufficient evidence supporting the use of telehealth services to improve patient care across many disciplines of health, including medicine, physiotherapy, nursing, audiology and speech-language pathology.[6,14-19] However, there is a paucity of literature pertaining to the training and education of students in using and implementing telehealth services. Most attributed their reasoning to meeting the needs of communities through the use of telehealth services, and 35 (53%) participants stated that students need to have knowledge, exposure and competence in this area so that it is sustainable.

Moreover, as a significant improvement on the post- intervention results was only observable for Question 3 for the junior school quiz, with no significant improvement with regard to other questions, it shows the need for more community engagement from pharmacy students as an intervention to promote health education and learning.

- summary: A study conducted among dental students in Malaysia found a 100% prevalence of stress.[1] Dental students’ stress relates to their expectations of high academic achievements and excellence based on their previous academic records at school. This high level of stress in dental students calls for the implementation of stress management programmes in dental education.[2] Dental education should serve as the starting point for the establishment of a healthy workplace that is free of stress.

- date: 2018-07-06
- words: 4106
- flesch: 50
- summary: The intention of the present research was to develop a support programme that would allow registered nurses in primary healthcare (PHC) to identify the characteristics of children with ASDs and to recognise possible risk factors. PHC is the first level of contact between the general population and the health system.[2] Patients are referred to healthcare services at secondary and tertiary hospitals.[3] Nurses in PHC often have to consult with the families of children with disabilities.[4] As registered nurses interact with mothers about the welfare of their children, and become aware of their concerns, they require unique knowledge, competencies and skills.[3] It is therefore important that nurses in PHC are made aware of the characteristics and risk factors associated with ASDs (e.g. social, communicative and behavioural problems, and learning characteristics) in order for them to refer children as soon as possible.[5] Early diagnosis provides an opportunity for early intervention, which improves the prognosis of the child in terms of linguistic, cognitive, social and motor abilities.[6]

- flesch: 52
- summary: Students experiencing academic difficulties in their first year at medical school report problems with information handling, problem solving, critical thinking and time management.[11] Academically at-risk medical students have been shown to have less practice, and confidence, in generic learning skills when compared with their peers on admission to university.[12] An academic support programme, purposefully designed to incorporate generic skills development, was found to close this ‘skills gap’ over a period of 12 months. What is unknown, however, is whether self-assessment of generic learning skills, which are not discipline-specific, is subject to the same major limitations.

- summary: The nursing programme also contains both intensive coursework and practical components at hospitals, which may become overwhelming and stressful with regard to a student’s ability to cope with examinations.[12] Attrition rates among nursing students remain high, irrespective of attempts by institutions to provide strategies such as selection in line with quality of students, and implementing student mentoring and tutoring. The increased stress of nursing students is due to the simultaneous learning in both academic and clinical areas.

- summary: Because of UNISA’s elasticity and institutional character, the UNISA Peer Help Volunteer Programme (UPHVP) was developed to expand the range of support to students, to render career- guidance services to schools and the surrounding communities and to create a conducive environment for peer helpers to generate personal and professional growth (Van Schoor and Mill – unpublished information, 1998). In brief, peer helpers are trained to expand the network of support for UNISA’s student population, to broaden the range of guidance services to the school and the community and to empower peer helpers to acquire valuable personal and employment skills and abilities (Van Schoor and Mill – unpublished information, 1998).

- summary: International research over the last decade has shown that medical students tend to become more cynical and less patient-centred and empathetic towards patients during their training.[9-12] It is important to acknowledge that the development of patient-centredness in medical students is more than just a set of communication skills.

- summary: ’[3] However, numerous local studies have shown that despite this regulation, many SLTs employed in the public and private sectors still do not have culturally and contextually relevant intervention tools.[4-8] Some authors found that SLTs not competent in African languages assess non-English- speaking adults and children in English or Afrikaans. Fortunately, with increasing numbers of graduates who speak African languages, the majority of whom are trained by one institution, service delivery to the multilingual and multicultural population might be improved.

- summary: September 2018, Vol. 10, No. 3 AJHPE 153 Research Up to 5 - 15% of clinical encounters lead to diagnostic errors, i.e. delayed, incorrect or missed diagnoses.[1] The mortality, morbidity and cost of these errors are considerable;[2-5] despite 40 years of technological advances they remain largely unchanged.[6] Strategies to address this major cause of patient harm must identify healthcare professionals at increased risk of making errors, characterise the errors they make and provide targeted, evidence- based intervention.[1] Taxonomies of the ‘root’ causes of diagnostic errors have been developed with a view to error reduction and remediation.[1,7,8]

- summary: There is literature- based evidence that interprofessional healthcare collaboration provides the best level of healthcare, which should encourage SA healthcare practitioners to put aside their differences to collaboratively strive for improvement of healthcare.[13,14] It is recommended that the HPCSA – the national statu- tory body for healthcare – institute quarterly roadshows and workshops to encourage interprofessional healthcare collaboration among all healthcare professions and practitioners. The initial findings identified the visible paucity of literature-based evidence regarding interprofessional SoP knowledge, perceptions and collaboration among SA healthcare practitioners, which warrants further research.

- summary: Student success in simulation assessment may result from students adapting to this artificial context by developing skills to cope with stress and navigate fictional aspects of the simulation event. The PBEC advocates integrated clinical simulation, using a full-body mannequin, as a summative assessment instrument for all registered emergency care qualifications.[1]
