Surveys

14.7K
Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Barriers to Effective Communication II

3.5K
The barriers to effective communication also include cultural barriers, semantic barriers, gender barriers, and time constraints.
Cultural barriers:
Differences in values, beliefs, religion, knowledge, and tradition can significantly impact communication. Awareness of nonverbal cues is critical, especially when conversing with a patient from a different culture. What appears appropriate in one culture may be inappropriate in another.
Semantic barriers:
As a result of their tendency to use...

One-Way ANOVA: Equal Sample Sizes

3.1K
One-Way ANOVA can be performed on three or more samples with equal or unequal sample sizes. When one-way ANOVA is performed on two datasets with samples of equal sizes, it can be easily observed that the computed F statistic is highly sensitive to the sample mean.
Different sample means can result in different values for the variance estimate: variance between samples. This is because the variance between samples is calculated as the product of the sample size and the variance between the...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Physician assistant (PA) programs with longer durations and more underrepresented minority (URM) faculty are more successful in recruiting diverse students. These findings can guide health professions programs in enhancing student diversity.

Area of Science:

  • Health Professions Education
  • Workforce Diversity
  • Medical Education Research

Background:

  • Workforce diversity in health professions improves patient care and team efficiency.
  • Physician assistant (PA) programs face challenges in recruiting diverse student cohorts.
  • Prior research identified high-performing PA programs in achieving student diversity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine associations between PA program characteristics and the recruitment/graduation of students from underrepresented minority (URM) groups.
  • To identify factors contributing to successful diversity outcomes in PA education.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized data from the 2019 PA Education Association Program and Faculty Surveys (n=141 programs).
  • Categorized programs as exemplary or non-exemplary based on prior literature regarding diversity.
  • Employed univariate and multivariate logit regression to identify program characteristics associated with exemplary status.

Main Results:

  • Longer program duration was associated with a higher likelihood of being an exemplary program (2.2 pp increase).
  • A greater percentage of URM faculty significantly increased the likelihood of exemplary status (2.5 pp increase).
  • Absence of admissions testing and higher percentages of Asian, Hispanic, or underrepresented in medicine faculty showed positive but not statistically significant associations.

Conclusions:

  • Faculty diversity, particularly from URM backgrounds, may positively influence student cohort diversity in PA programs.
  • Program characteristics, such as the absence of admissions testing, may also impact student diversity.
  • Findings offer insights for PA and other health professions programs aiming to increase racial and ethnic diversity.
