|May 3, 2021
Summary
A new framework, Advancing Naturopathic Education and Practice (ADVANCER), was developed to bridge the gap between naturopathic education and clinical practice. International experts validated its domains, definitions, and outcomes, showing strong consensus.
Area of Science:
- Naturopathic Medicine
- Medical Education
- Health Professions Education
Background:
- The education-practice gap in naturopathic medicine remains a significant challenge.
- A structured framework is needed to align naturopathic medicine education with clinical practice.
- This framework can guide curriculum development and clinical decision-making.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop, refine, and validate the Advancing Naturopathic Education and Practice (ADVANCER) framework.
- To create a bridge between naturopathic education and clinical practice.
Main Methods:
- Literature review and website scoping identified key constructs for the ADVANCER framework.
- Constructs were organized into ten domains with defined teaching and clinical outcomes.
- A two-round e-Delphi method with international experts refined and validated the framework.
Main Results:
- Sixteen international experts participated in the e-Delphi study.
- Initial consensus was high, with nine of ten domains rated as very or extremely important.
- After revisions, 90% of participants rated all ten domains, definitions, and outcomes as very or extremely important, indicating consensus.
Conclusions:
- The ADVANCER framework is conceptually sound and adaptable across diverse settings.
- Further research is needed to assess the feasibility, effectiveness, and sustainability of implementing the ADVANCER framework.

01:03Data Validation

Data validation is an essential part of a comprehensive assessment. Validation is confirming or verifying and opening the door to gathering more assessment data as it clarifies vague or unclear data. The process of checking and verifying the collected information is called data validation. The primary purpose of data validation is to ensure data is as free from error, bias, and misinterpretation as possible.

Nursing diagnoses represent a problem validated by major defining characteristics. There are four categories of nursing diagnoses: problem-focused, risk, health promotion or wellness, and syndrome. The anatomy of a nursing diagnosis includes three components: problem statement or diagnostic label, defining characteristics, and related factors.

A nursing diagnosis is written when the nurse recognizes a cluster of essential patient data indicating health problems treated with independent nursing interventions. The standardized terminologies of a nursing diagnosis help nurses identify and treat patients' problems. Every electronic health record that uses nursing diagnosis must employ standard diagnostic terminology. Developing an efficient, individualized care plan begins with accurate nursing diagnoses.

2.1K
The nursing process provides a clinical decision-making framework for patients and families to establish and implement a personalized care plan. Since part of the nurse's duties is to teach patients, the steps of the nursing process are the most effective way to approach instruction. The nursing process and the teaching-learning process are inextricably linked.

01:28Preclinical Development: Overview
5.4K
Preclinical development consists of a series of tests that ensure the safety and efficacy of a new therapeutic compound before it is tested in humans. There are four main phases to this process. First, safety pharmacology tests are conducted to ensure the drug does not produce any acutely harmful effects. These tests examine parameters such as bronchoconstriction, cardiac dysrhythmias, blood pressure changes, and ataxia. Next, preliminary toxicological testing is performed to determine the...

01:21The Nativist Approach
227
The nativist approach to infant cognitive development proposes that infants are born with inherent knowledge structures that allow them to interpret the world almost immediately. This perspective contrasts with earlier developmental theories, such as those proposed by Jean Piaget, which emphasized a more gradual acquisition of cognitive abilities through interaction with the environment. One key concept in this approach is object permanence — the understanding that objects continue to...
