Resuscitation training for medical students in the United Kingdom — a comparison with the United States of America

Resuscitation training for medical students and junior doctors in the United Kingdom and United States was compared using questionnaires sent to medical schools in both countries. A marked deficiency in the provision of cardiopulmonary resuscitation training has been demonstrated in the United Kingdom; however, in the United States, the availability of uniform certifiable teaching is now widespread. Suggestions for the improvement of training in the United Kingdom are expected to increase medical student proficiency in cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The need for training in basic and advanced resuscitation prior to graduation from medical school is stressed.

医科研究生睡眠质量与心理健康状况的关系

目的了解在校研究生睡眠质量情况及其与心理健康的关系 ,为心理健康教育提供参考。方法使用匹兹堡睡眠质量指数 (PSQI)和症状自评量表 (SCL 90 ) ,对 2 44名在校研究生进行睡眠及心理健康状况调查 ,并进行相关和回归分析。结果以PSQI总分≥ 8分作为判断睡眠质量问题的标准 ,有 7.8%的研究生有睡眠质量问题 ,男女生的比例分别为 6.7%和 10 .0 % ;睡眠状况不佳主要体现在日间功能障碍( 3 4.0 % )、睡眠时间不足 ( 2 4.6% ) ,入睡慢 ( 13 .9)和自感睡眠质量不佳 ( 11.1% )。研究生中博士和硕士 ,男性和女性 ,已婚者与未婚者的睡眠质量比较无显著差异。睡眠质量不同者的心理健康状况有显著差异 (P<0 .0 0 1) ,两两比较发现 ,睡眠越好 ,心理健康状况也越好 (P <0 .0 5 ) ;相关分析表明PSQI总分与SCL 90总均分间有显著的相关 (r =0 .5 0 1) ;多元逐步回归分析表明 :影响睡眠质量的心理症状因子主要为强迫和焦虑 ,这两个因素可解释PSQI总分变异的 2 6.4%。结论心理因素对研究生的睡眠质量有显著影响。

海岛中学生心理卫生特点及相关因素分析

目的 了解海岛中学生的心理健康状况及其相关因素。方法 随机分层整群抽取海岛城镇2243名中学生，采用自制的一般情况问卷、90项症状清单及艾森克人格问卷进行测试，用SPSS软件包进行统计分析。结果 海岛城镇中学生中的非独生子女比独生子女、高中生比初中生、女生比男生、家庭居住在渔农村比居住在城镇的中学生心理健康水平要低。他们的心理障碍的发生率和SCL-90各项因子分与国内大陆某些地区的报道有所不同，本文中学生的个性特征与SCL-90各项因子分的相关分析表明海岛城镇中学生的心理健康状况与性格的内外倾向、掩饰作用呈负相关，与心理变态倾向、情绪稳定性呈正相关。本文男女生的心理障碍的发生率为16％～47％，以强迫症状为最显著。结论海岛中学生心理障碍的发生率较高，并且与大陆其它地区中学生心理健康状况有所不同。     

A programme for treating chemically dependent medical students

Summary. The first American programme for chemically dependent medical students at the University of Tennessee, Memphis is described. The goals of the Aid for the Impaired Medical Student (AIMS) Program are to provide confidential treatment for chemically dependent medical students, to assure that recovering students are able to resume their education, and to protect patients and others from the harm that may be caused by impaired students. The Program is administered by the AIMS Council, consisting of medical professionals and elected student representatives. The Council oversees the management of cases, including investigation of students who may be impaired, intervention when chemical dependency is suspected, diagnostic evaluation, treatment and aftercare, and post-recovery advocacy for students. The Program's experience includes 18 cases of suspected chemical dependency, with four self-referrals and 14 students referred by third parties. Eleven students have been diagnosed as chemically dependent and have completed treatment programmes. Nine have maintained recovery and eight have graduated. One student subsequently relapsed and committed suicide. Obstacles in programme implementation have involved absence of perceived need, the view that chemically dependent students should be dismissed from school, and reluctance of students to report classmates. Resources have included highly respected student representatives, a supportive administration, assistance of the impaired physicians programme, and medical insurance and professional courtesy to defray costs. Although the number treated has been modest, the AIMS Program is an important vehicle for training students regarding chemical dependency and their professional obligations toward impaired colleagues.     

Introducing expert systems to medical students using esta, Expert System Teaching Aid

Medical students are allocated little curriculum time for exposure to expert systems. ESTA, a computer model of an expert system, was developed to make best use of this time. The nature of the students' interaction with ESTA is described, and their reactions to the expert system concepts and the place of expert systems in medicine are presented. A discussion of these reactions draws some conclusions about teaching expert systems in particular, and computers in general, in the basic medical course.     

Eight years'' experience with a structured clinical examination

A structured clinical examination has been an integral component of the final-year examinations conducted by the Departments of Medicine and Surgery at the University of Adelaide for the last 8 years. It has been used as an alternative to the traditional clinical examination. This paper describes the results of ongoing student and examiner surveys carried out to determine their views and satisfaction with this new approach. It also briefly discusses the feasibility of introducing such an examination into a conventional medical school environment. The surveys showed a remarkable level of acceptance and support by both students and examiners. This positive reaction has been maintained over the 8-year period. The main reasons seem to be its perceived relevance and fairness. Students also appear to be directing their learning in a direction thought desirable by teachers. No significant problems have been encountered with the practical implementation of the method.
