Patient-centered Care01:13

Patient-centered Care

2.0K
Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...

The scientific method provides the foundation for any research. It is the most reliable and objective of all forms of gaining knowledge and guides in applying research-based evidence in practice and conducting future research.
When using research findings to change practice, one must understand the process used to guide a study. The scientific method is a systematic, step-by-step process that supports the data's validity, reliability, and generalizability. As a result, findings can be...

Critical thinking helps decision-making and allows nurses to recognize barriers to success and find solutions to possible issues. It helps to brainstorm and implement ideas to achieve goals. Critical thinking helps acknowledge and state workflow inefficiencies while improving management techniques. Nurses understand the value of critical thinking and look for fellow nurses with critical thinking skills to upgrade their professional standards. Critical thinking can advance a nurse's career...

Clinical Trials01:16

Clinical Trials

6.7K
Clinical trials are prospective experimental studies conducted on humans to determine the safety and efficacy of treatments, drugs, diet methods, and medical devices. Using statistics in clinical trials enables researchers to derive reasonable and accurate conclusions from the collected data, allowing them to make wise decisions in uncertain situations. In medical research, statistical methods are crucial for preventing errors and bias.
There are four phases in a clinical trial. A phase one...

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medical Education
  • Medical Sciences Education
  • Cognitive Science in Learning

Background:

  • Medical education theory posits basic science knowledge (BSK) as foundational for clinical learning.
  • Existing research suggests a positive correlation between BSK achievement and clinical science achievement.
  • Encapsulated knowledge, a blend of basic science and clinical experience, is theorized for effective clinical problem-solving.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between BSK, clinical science knowledge (CSK), and clinical problem-solving ability in veterinary students.
  • To analyze how BSK and CSK influence the development of clinical problem-solving skills over time.
  • To determine the impact of explicit basic science instruction on long-term clinical competence.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized data from four veterinary colleges, employing both institutional and standardized measures.
  • Assessed basic science knowledge (BSK), clinical science knowledge (CSK), and clinical problem-solving ability.
  • Employed structural equation modeling and confirmatory factor analysis to model relationships between variables.

Main Results:

  • Significant correlations were found among BSK, CSK, and clinical problem-solving ability.
  • Newly acquired BSK directly predicted retained BSK and newly acquired CSK.
  • BSK and retained BSK significantly and positively predicted clinical problem-solving ability, mediated by CSK.

Conclusions:

  • Findings suggest a gradual, integrated development of knowledge schema (encapsulated knowledge) rather than isolated learning.
  • Explicitly teaching basic science knowledge has a durable, positive impact on clinical knowledge and problem-solving skills, irrespective of curriculum.
  • Student performance metrics in basic and clinical sciences can predict academic and licensing exam success in veterinary education.
