Interdisciplinary Care: The Health Care Team-II01:18

Interdisciplinary Care: The Health Care Team-II

1.4K
An interdisciplinary team includes many healthcare professionals working together and utilizing their skills, knowledge, and expertise to provide holistic and quality patient care. Here are a few more healthcare professionals.
Physical Therapist
A physical therapist (PT) aims to restore function or prevent additional impairment in a patient following an injury or disease. Massage, heat, cold, water, sonar waves, exercises, and electrical stimulation are some treatments used by PTs to treat...

Physicians
The physician's primary responsibility is to diagnose illness and direct the medical or surgical treatment of the condition. The authority to admit patients to a healthcare agency or institution and practice care within that setting is granted to physicians by the healthcare agency or institution...

Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching I: Assessment and Diagnosis

1.6K
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.
It is critical to determine the patient's learning needs during the assessment. Determination of learning needs compounds data...

Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching II: Planning and Implementation

1.2K
Planning for learning involves the development of a teaching plan. Teaching plans are similar to nursing care plans—both follow the steps of the nursing process. Planning in the teaching process involves setting goals and outcomes. Here, goals identify what a patient needs to achieve to understand a healthcare topic better, whereas the outcomes are the action to be performed by the patient to achieve the goal within a timeframe. For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about...

Study Design in Statistics01:15

Study Design in Statistics

8.2K
A study design is a set of techniques that allow a researcher to collect and analyze data from different variables defined for a specific research problem. Statistics is commonly for effective study design and more robust experiments,
Does aspirin reduce the risk of heart attacks? Is one brand of fertilizer more effective at growing roses than another? Is fatigue as dangerous to a driver as the influence of alcohol? Questions like these are answered using randomized experiments with proper...

Experimental Designs

11.5K
An experimental design is a systematic process that allows researchers to evaluate the relationship between dependent and independent variables. There are three widely used types of experimental design - pre-experimental design, true experimental design, and quasi-experimental design. In pre-experimental design, the researcher compares the data before and after some interventions or treatments. The true-experimental design has more than one purposefully created group, a commonly measured...

Area of Science:

  • Pharmacotherapy education
  • Curriculum development
  • Educational strategies

Background:

  • Curricular expansion presents challenges in higher education.
  • Program-level changes are often proposed, but individual course-level strategies are needed.
  • Reducing content while maintaining learning outcomes is a key concern.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the application of backward design to reduce curricular expansion at the individual course level.
  • To maintain student performance and decrease stress for students and coordinators.
  • To optimize a large, interdisciplinary, team-taught pharmacotherapy course.

Main Methods:

  • Backward design principles were applied to a pharmacotherapy course.
  • Didactic content hours were reduced and compared to historical data.
  • Student performance on examinations was analyzed.
  • Student and coordinator feedback on stress and course alignment was collected.

Main Results:

  • Didactic content hours decreased by 37 hours (33%).
  • Student performance on examinations was maintained.
  • Student stress related to examination content and course design decreased.
  • Coordinator stress and time spent on content negotiation were reduced.

Conclusions:

  • Backward design is an effective framework for managing curricular expansion.
  • Intentional evaluation of content volume and assessment alignment is crucial.
  • This strategy successfully maintained student learning and reduced stress.
