Longitudinal Research02:20

Longitudinal Research

12.6K
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...

Obedience

33.1K
According to obedience research, we may harm others under the forceful pressures of an authority figure (Milgram, 1974). How about if the inappropriate orders were delivered with less force? The increasing interdependence between nurses and physicians compelled Hofling and his colleagues to explore nurses’ reactions to a potentially harmful medical request made by the perceived authority figure, the doctor (Hofling, Brotzman, Dalrymple, Graves, & Pierce, 1966). In this situation,...

Longitudinal Studies01:26

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...

Nursing Assessment01:29

Nursing Assessment

The two sources for collecting information are primary and secondary. After gathering information, interpretation and validation help to complete the data. The purpose of assessment is to establish data with the initial information, to interpret data about the patient's perceived needs and health problems, and to respond to these problems identified.
The nurse collects all aspects of the patient's health in the initial assessment, establishing priorities for ongoing focused assessments...

Methods of Documentation II: POMR

1.1K
The Problem-Oriented Medical Record (POMR) revolutionized medical record-keeping by introducing a systematic approach focusing on the patient's problems rather than merely listing symptoms. Dr. Lawrence Weed's introduction of this method in the 1960s marked a significant advancement in medical documentation. The POMR framework consists of four key components: the database, problem list, plan of care, and progress notes.

Area of Science:

  • Health Professions Education
  • Physician Assistant Studies
  • Academic Workforce Trends

Background:

  • The Physician Assistant (PA) profession currently holds a master's degree as its terminal credential.
  • There is an ongoing discussion about transitioning to a doctoral degree as the terminal credential for PAs in US higher education.
  • Many health professions have already adopted doctoral credentials for their programs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine trends in academic credentials for PA faculty.
  • To assess employer preferences for doctoral degrees among PA faculty.
  • To analyze the demand and economic opportunities for doctoral-prepared PA educators.

Main Methods:

  • A longitudinal retrospective observational study analyzed PA faculty job postings from 2014-2020.
  • Data were sourced from Burning Glass Technologies and academic job search engines.
  • Physician Assistant Education Association (PAEA) survey data on current faculty and program directors were also utilized.

Main Results:

  • Approximately 38.9% of PA faculty job postings (612 ads) preferred or required a doctoral degree.
  • Nearly half of postings for program director and leadership roles specified a preference for doctorates.
  • While 24% of PA faculty held doctorates, 45-48% of program directors did, with PhDs being most common. No significant wage difference was found based on doctoral status.

Conclusions:

  • A clear preference for doctoral-prepared PA educators exists among employers.
  • The demand for faculty with doctoral credentials appears to exceed the current market supply.
  • These findings have implications for PA faculty career planning and the profession's debate on adopting a terminal doctoral degree.
