Summary
Dental students improved their intravenous cannulation skills through combined training methods. Game-based learning and model arm practice were most effective, boosting confidence and practical ability.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Dental Training
- Clinical Skills Development
Background:
- Peripheral intravenous catheterisation (PIVC) is a crucial nursing skill.
- PIVC is now part of the 2024 Dental Core Program curriculum.
- This study addresses the need to train dental students in PIVC.
Purpose of the Study:
- To implement and evaluate PIVC training for final-year dental students.
- To assess student approach and compliance with IV catheterisation.
- To compare the effectiveness of different training modalities.
Main Methods:
- 122 final-year dental students with no prior PIVC experience participated.
- Students were randomized into three groups: model arm, game-based learning, or combined.
- Post-training questionnaires assessed student perceptions and knowledge.
Main Results:
- All training methods were beneficial, with combined and model arm approaches perceived as most effective.
- 77.5% of students found game-based learning and model arm practice equally valuable.
- Students reported increased confidence and sufficient knowledge post-training, willing to practice with supervision.
Conclusions:
- The training program successfully enhanced dental students' practical skills in PIVC.
- Increased confidence in performing intravenous cannulation was reported by most participants.
- The findings support the integration of PIVC training in dental education.

Nine muscles are involved in arm movements. Two of these, the pectoralis major and latissimus dorsi, originate from the axial skeleton and are called axial muscles. The other seven originate from the scapula and are called the scapular muscles.
The pectoralis major has two origins. Its clavicular head originates on the medial half of the clavicle. In contrast, the sternocostal head originates on the costal cartilages of ribs 1-6, the sternum, and the aponeurosis of the external oblique of the...

The development of self in children is deeply rooted in social interactions, mainly through stages of play and structured games. These stages, outlined by sociologist George Herbert Mead, illustrate how children progressively learn to understand and adopt social roles, forming a cohesive sense of self.The Play Stage: Imitation and Simple Role-TakingIn the early years of childhood, the play stage is characterized by imitative behavior, where children engage in role-playing based on familiar...

01:14Avoidance Learning and Learned Helplessness
2.6K
Avoidance learning and learned helplessness are critical concepts in understanding behavioral responses to negative stimuli.
Avoidance learning occurs when an organism learns that a specific behavior can prevent an unpleasant outcome. For example, a student who receives a bad grade may start studying harder to avoid future poor grades. This behavior persists even when the negative outcome is no longer present. Avoidance learning is powerful because it maintains behavior in the absence of the...

Associative learning is a fundamental concept in behavioral psychology, wherein a connection is established between two stimuli or events, leading to a learned response. This process is critical in understanding how behaviors are acquired and modified. Conditioning, the mechanism through which associations are formed, can be divided into two main types: classical conditioning and operant conditioning, each elucidating different aspects of associative learning.

E. C. Tolman emphasized the purposiveness of behavior — the idea that much of our behavior is goal-directed. For instance, employees who aim for a promotion work diligently to meet their targets. Tolman argued that when classical conditioning and operant conditioning occur, the organism acquires certain expectations. In classical conditioning, a child might fear a dog because they expect it to bite. In operant conditioning, a person might consistently work overtime because they expect a...
