Abstract

Purpose:

To assess the impact of longitudinal telehealth training in stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) and stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for clinicians in Latin America.

Materials And Methods:

Professionals from two Peruvian centers received an initial SBRT/SRS on-site training course and subsequently received follow-up telehealth training (interventional group) or not (negative control arm). Twelve live video conference sessions were scheduled. Surveys pre- and post-curriculum measured participants' confidence in seven practical domains of SBRT/SRS, based on Likert scales of 1-5, and post-curriculum surveys assessed educators' experiences.

Results:

Sixty-one participants were registered, with an average of 24 attendees per session. Pre- and post- surveys were completed by 22 participants. For interventional and negative-control groups, mean changes in Likert scale were satisfactory for the former and remained unmodified for the latter.

Conclusions:

Conducting telehealth educational programs via virtual classroom sessions could be a reliable method to augment training for SBRT and SRS.

SBAR II: Application of SBAR

SBAR is an effective communication tool used by healthcare professionals to communicate patient information accurately. SBAR stands for Situation, Background, Assessment, and Recommendation. For a better understanding, an example is given below.

Longitudinal Studies

Longitudinal Studies

Longitudinal studies are also widely used in other medical and social science fields. For instance, in cardiovascular research, they can monitor patients' health over decades to identify risk factors for heart disease, such as high cholesterol or smoking, and evaluate the long-term effectiveness of preventive measures. Similarly, in mental health studies, researchers might follow individuals from adolescence into adulthood to understand the development and progression of conditions like...

Current Trends in Nursing II

Current Trends in Nursing II

Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...

Longitudinal Research

Longitudinal Research

Sometimes we want to see how people change over time, as in studies of human development and lifespan. When we test the same group of individuals repeatedly over an extended period of time, we are conducting longitudinal research. Longitudinal research is a research design in which data-gathering is administered repeatedly over an extended period of time. For example, we may survey a group of individuals about their dietary habits at age 20, retest them a decade later at age 30, and then again...

Community Based Intervention

Community Based Intervention

Community-based interventions in mental health represent a paradigm shift from institution-centered care to treatments embedded within the fabric of local communities. By prioritizing inclusion and leveraging existing societal structures, this approach fosters a supportive environment conducive to addressing mental health challenges while promoting individual dignity and agency.
