Role of a University Medical Center in the education of radiologic technologists: advanced education in radiologic technology.

The development of new and sophisticated imaging equipment, the rapidly changing medical diagnostic techniques, and larger and busier radiology departments put increasingly heavy demands on radiologic technologists. To cope with these demands, superficial knowledge and experience is not enough. The technologist who wished to advance on the career ladder must have more solid facts at his disposal and know how and when to use them if he is to perform efficiently and satisfactorily. The program described here provides a type of education that will permit the technologist to so advance with a feeling of security in the knowledge that he has the foundation needed to meet the challenges of his profession.

Cognition and technology in health education research.

There is an explicit relationship between knowledge generation, transmission (dissemination and diffusion), knowledge acquisition, and utilization. In order to disseminate and diffuse information for health promotion and disease prevention, there is an assumption that we just need to change the behaviours of people. This paper challenges this notion and suggests that the thinking behind the behaviours (cognition) also needs to be addressed for successful acquisition and utilization of information. Studies focusing on cognition or thought processes and how sociocultural factors influence or interact with cognitive factors is a high priority area of research. This area of research becomes more important if we include technology in the health care delivery system.

The use of information and communication technology in veterinary education.

The internet provides new opportunities to deliver distance and e-learning to the veterinary profession both at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. There are now numerous examples of successful computer-based educational projects in UK higher education, which provide useful models for veterinary science. This will present challenges for academics who will need to adapt their teaching methodologies and students who will have to develop new ways of learning. The future of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in the veterinary sector is difficult to predict but it is likely to have far reaching effects on the profession.

Elderly self care education: a low technology primary health care option for developing countries.

This article presents a number of perspectives on the curriculum building processes as well as the methodology and content of a self care training curriculum and information packet that were prepared and field for the development of a model self care education program for older persons. Course content and topical areas are outlined, and various training agenda and educational materials are described. Although this program was undertaken as part of the national goal to develop a health promotion and disease prevention strategy for older people in the United States, a number of insights, principles and implications drawn from the curriculum development activities and field testing experiences are applicable to other countries, especially developing nations where the problems and needs of the aged are becoming increasingly apparent in the face of ever shrinking resources.

Potential for computer and optical videodisk technology in dental education.

Dental education relies heavily on the use of color slides in the process of instruction. In fact, it is estimated that 300,000 slides are produced yearly for this purpose by all the dental schools in the country. This article describes how the wedding of computer and videodisk technology can create a powerful tool for managing a vast amount of visual information (54,000 slides) and an innovative means for providing instruction.

Harnessing technology and collaboration for an online ethnogeriatric educational resource.

The paper describes the development and testing of a Web-based educational resource for usability and acceptability by health care providers who care for ethnic older adults. The work was undertaken as a dissertation project. The purpose of the Website is to provide on-demand ethnogeriatric information to enhance provider-patient interaction. Focus groups of clinicians and ethnic older adults were used in order to identify content relevant to the care of frail ethnic older adults. Collaboration with the Stanford Geriatric Education Center, On Lok SeniorHealth Services, Inc., Pepperdine University Graduate School of Education, and a network of virtual consultants provided support to the project. The site contains information on 15 cultures, 12 religions, and 6 ethnic minority cohort groups. Testing by snowball sampling generated survey data from 96 respondents, consisting of general practitioners (24%), pediatric specialists (20%), and geriatric specialists (18%). The Website was considered useful for provider-patient communication (77%) and would be recommended to others (99%). The Web-based information resource, called "Diversity, Healing, and Healthcare," currently exists as a resource rather than as a defined learning module and can be accessed at http://www.gasi. org/diversity.htm.

The fusion of gerontology and technology in nursing education: History and demonstration of the Gerontological Informatics Reasoning Project--GRIP.

Phase I of our Gerontological Reasoning Informatics Project (GRIP) began in the summer of 2002 when all 37 senior undergraduate nursing students in our accelerated BSN nursing program were given PDAs. These students were oriented to use a digitalized geriatric nursing assessment tool embedded into their PDA in a variety of geriatric clinical agencies. This informatics project was developed to make geriatric nursing more technology oriented and focused on seven modules of geriatric assessment: intellect (I), nutrition (N), self-concept (S), physical activity (P), interpersonal functioning (I), restful sleep (R), and elimination (E)--INSPIRE. Through phase II and now phase III, the GRIP Project has become a major collaboration between the College of Nursing & Health Professions and College of Information Science and Technology at Drexel University. The digitalized geriatric nursing health assessment tool has undergone a second round of reliability and validity testing and is now used to conduct a 20 minute comprehensive geriatric health assessment on the PDA, making our undergraduate gerontology course the most high tech clinical course in our nursing curriculum.

[The nursing appointments for the hypertense woman: a technology for health education].

This work aimed at the application of Nursing appointments to an hypertensive woman based on Orem's Theory, and at the identification of her degree of satisfaction in committing herself to self-care. The appointments were applied monthly for six months to fifty women. At every appointment, an evaluation was made on self-care deficit and on the abilities women showed to develop self-care activities. Most women overcame their self-care deficits, and acquired technical and cognitive abilities to perform self-care activities, falling into a profile that is desirable for improving quality of life. These changes were intensified at each appointment. Evidence showed that the application of this new technology brings highly positive influences to clients and assures quality in the Nursing services provided.

A computerized simulator for critical-care training: new technology for medical education.

A patient simulator has been developed for training, certification, modeling, and demonstrating problems in the management of critical-care patients. The Critical Care & Hemodynamic Monitoring Training System consists of a personal computer, software, and a replica of a human torso designed to enable students to practice critical-care medicine. The computer displays patient histories, laboratory results, treatment options, patient responses, and a real-time cardiac monitor. The torso apparatus is used to practice insertion of a hemodynamic monitoring catheter; the cardiac monitor displays catheter pressure readings as the catheter is advanced into the heart and also pulmonary artery and wedge position. Special screen calculators in the program may be used to determine hemodynamic, respiratory, ventilatory, and renal function indices. In contrast to previously described simulators and computer oriented instructional programs, this system contains no inherent data base. Instead, authors build a library of informative cases by using the hardware and software tools provided. Individual "modules" of patient information are authored, and these are transparently linked as a student undertakes management of a patient. Although this system is a technologic achievement, determination of its usefulness as an instructional tool or certification aid must come from broader use and controlled studies.

The focused use of posters for graduate education in the complex technological nursing environment.

Posters are increasingly recognised as both a method of professional communication and a strategy for learning and assessment in nurse education. Rapid technological developments in health care and the nursing practice environment are generating specific educational needs in relation to the use of technology. There is a move to incorporate within the traditional rational technical focus a broader, more comprehensive understanding of technology, technological equipment and procedures. Technological innovations are an ideal subject matter for poster presentations at the graduate level particularly as broader dimensions such as the impetus for introduction, the research base, the evaluation strategy and the cost can be incorporated. Each poster can become a teaching focus for a student presentation to classmates or other professional forums in order to catalyse discussions of these wider dimensions. A description of the use of posters for these purposes with examples and comments by participants is included.

[Education, care and management technologies: a reflection based on nursing teachers' conception].

This study involved the teachers of sixteen Nursing Courses at Higher Education Institutions in the State of Rio Grande do Sul and aimed to identify the care, education and management technologies that are used and/or produced in their professional praxis in professionalizing subjects. This text presents a research extract and focuses on the conceptions about the different types of technologies the teachers approached. Data were collected through a questionnaire with closed and open questions and later analyzed according to the methodological framework of content analysis. The study revealed that most teachers presented a restricted concept of the theme, manifesting difficulties for technology use and production and suggesting ways of support to overcome these difficulties, with a view to improving professional praxis.

A national study of perioperative nurse education in two technologies.

In this study, perioperative RNs (n = 122) from hospitals throughout the United States were surveyed to explore how and what they initially learned about the different types of technology they use in direct patient care and the consequences of using these technologies. The study revealed that the most frequently identified method participants used to learn technologies (i.e., count procedure, electrosurgical unit [ESU]) was via instruction from other staff members, and RNs were more likely to learn more facts about the count procedure than about the ESU. Although the count procedure was significantly more likely to cause stress to RNs (P = .000), an inaccurate count procedure was no more likely to result in patient harm than incorrect operation of an ESU.
