Medical Education 2012: 46 : 417–425 Context The use of virtual patients (VPs) suggests promising effects on student learning. However, currently empirical data on how best to use VPs in practice are scarce. More knowledge is needed regarding aspects of integrating VPs into a course, of which student acceptance is one key issue. Several authors call for looking beyond technology to see VPs in relation to the course context. The follow‐up seminar is proposed as an important aspect of integration that warrants investigation. Methods A cross‐sectional explanatory study was performed in a clinical clerkship introduction course at four teaching hospitals affiliated to the same medical faculty. The VP‐related activities were planned collaboratively by teachers from all four settings. However, each setting employed a different strategy to follow up the activity in the course. Sixteen questionnaire items were grouped into three scales pertaining to: perceived benefit of VPs; wish for more guidance on using VPs, and wish for assessment and feedback on VPs. Scale scores were compared across the four settings, which were ranked according to the level of intensity of students’ processing of cases during VP follow‐up activities. Results The perceived benefit of VPs and their usage were higher in the two intense‐use settings compared with the moderate‐ and low‐intensity settings. The wish for more guidance was high in the low‐ and one of the high‐intensity settings. Students in all settings displayed little interest in more assessment and feedback regarding VPs. Conclusions High case processing intensity was related to positive perceptions of the benefit of VPs. However, the low interest in more assessment and feedback on the use of VPs indicates the need to clearly communicate the added value of the follow‐up seminar. The findings suggest that a more intense follow‐up pays off in terms of the benefit perceived by students. This study illustrates the need to consider VPs from the perspective of a holistic course design and not as isolated add‐ons. 相似文献

To improve teaching quality and student satisfaction, a new curriculum in Oral Surgery was implemented at Karolinska Institutet in 2007. This paper describes the curriculum change as well as the results regarding quality, satisfaction, cost‐effectiveness and workload for teachers and staff. To design the new curriculum, all members of the teaching staff participated in a series of group discussions where problems with the previous curriculum were identified and ideas on how to improve the curriculum were discussed. Cost‐effectiveness was evaluated by comparing the number of teaching sessions between the new and the old curriculum. A questionnaire was used to investigate the staffs’ perceived change in workload and teaching quality. The students’ satisfaction and attitudes to learning was screened for by on‐line questionnaires. The large amount of passive observational teaching was considered as the main problem with the old curriculum. Half of these sessions were replaced by either clinical seminars or demonstrations performed in an interactive form. Students rated the new curriculum as a clear improvement. Analyses of time and cost‐effectiveness showed a decrease in teaching sessions by almost 50%. Generally, the teachers were more positive towards the changes compared to the non‐teaching staff. The students rated the new type of learning activities relatively high, whilst the traditional observational teaching was seen as less satisfactory. They preferred to learn in a practical way and few indicated analytic or emotional preferences. The majority of the students reported a good alignment between the new course curriculum and the final exam. 相似文献

Objective: The present study was designed to assess the pharmacokinetics of propiverine after single and multiple dosing in patients with and without fatty liver disease. Methods: The serum concentration-time curves of propiverine and its main metabolite propiverine-N-oxide were investigated in 12 patients with mild to moderate impairment of liver function (mean antipyrine clearance 26.0?ml?·?min?1) and in 12 controls (antipyrine clearance 42.8?ml?·?min?1). Subjects were treated orally with propiverine hydrochloride (Mictonorm) for 5 days (15?mg t. i. d.) to reach steady state. Results: No significant differences were observed for propiverine and its main metabolite with regard to peak serum concentration (Cmax), area under the serum concentration-time curve (AUC) and elimination half-life (t1/2). Adverse events were reported by 12 patients. Five patients with fatty liver disease and seven patients with normal liver function complained of dry mouth and/or blurred vision. All adverse events reported were transient and mild. Conclusion: No pharmacokinetic differences relevant for safety were observed, comparing patients with and without fatty liver disease following repeated oral administration of propiverine. Thus there seems to be no need to adjust the dose in patients with mild to moderate impairment of liver function. 相似文献

Background
Female prisoners are at risk of acquiring sexually transmitted infections (STIs). There has been no previous study regarding the epidemiological status of STIs among female prisoners in Isfahan, central Iran.Objectives
The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence and risk factors of the aforementioned infections among women incarcerated in the central prison, Isfahan, to determine appropriate prevention measures.Patients and Methods
In a cross-sectional study, all of the 163 women incarcerated in the central prison, Isfahan in 2009, were voluntarily enrolled by the census method. After completing a checklist consisting of demographic, social, and risk factors, a 5ml blood sample was taken from each individual. The sera were analyzed for markers of the hepatitis B virus (HBV; HBsAg, HBsAb, HBcAb), hepatitis C virus (HCV; HCV antibodies), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV; HIV antibodies), and syphilis (RPR). Confirmatory tests were performed on HCV antibody-positive cases.Results
The mean age of the participants in the study was 34.54 ± 11.2 years old, 94.3% of these women were Iranian, and many of them had only a primary level of education. The prevalence of HBsAg, HBcAb, HBsAb, and HCV antibodies were; 1.2%, 7.4%, 12.9% and 7.4% respectively. No positive RPR or HIV antibodies were detected.Conclusions
A significant relationship was seen between the HCV antibody, drug injection and illegal sex in the women, and also between HBc-Ab and drug injection. Regular screening, educational programs, and facilitation of access to suitable treatment care should be widely implemented in the prison population. Testing for immunity against HBV should be considered on admission, and afterwards vaccination of all prisoners and an appropriate preventative approach should be applied. 相似文献10.
