An education model for otitis media care field-tested in Latin America.

The World Health Organization has designated the teaching of otitis media management skills a "priority" status. Effective treatment of ear disease requires that the physician be both informationally educated as well as physically trained to use otoscopy. Little is known about how well this education can be provided in a short time and in a foreign country. To more objectively assess teaching effect, results of an education session for rural Mexican pediatric primary-care providers who were given an intensive otitis media lecture and otoscopy skills workshop in 1990 were evaluated. To test immediate cognitive impact, an anonymous written examination was given both before and after the teaching session. Average test scores after the educational sessions improved 24% (p < 0.001) over baseline scores before the sessions. To evaluate long-term impact on clinical practice, a follow-up telephone survey 2 years later was conducted. The use of an otoscope to diagnose otitis media had increased from 40% to 93% of respondents. We conclude that pediatric primary-care providers in rural Mexico possess a baseline level of knowledge about otitis media that can be significantly enhanced with one educational session. Further, this teaching effort produces an impact on practice pattern that lasts at least 2 years.

Diabetes is a community issue: the critical elements of a successful outreach and education model on the U.S.-Mexico border.

BACKGROUND: Diabetes is reaching epidemic proportions on the U.S.-Mexico Border, and culturally competent diabetes education is not available in many communities. CONTEXT: People with diabetes often do not have access to regular medical care, cannot afford medication, and lack the community infrastructure that supports self-management practices. Self-management education and support have great potential to impact diabetes control in this environment. METHODS: To address this need, partners of the Border Health Strategic Initiative (Border Health iSI!) collaboratively developed a culturally relevant diabetes outreach and education program. The model included a five-week series of free diabetes education classes that assisted participants in gaining the knowledge and skills necessary to be physically active, control diet, monitor blood sugar, take medications, and be aware of complications. Central to the model was the use of community health workers - or promotores de salud - to conduct outreach, participate in patient education, and provide individual support. CONSEQUENCES: Program participants achieved significant improvements in self-management behaviors and HbA1c, random blood glucose, and blood pressure levels. INTERPRETATION: Quantitative and qualitative evaluation helped to identify the essential elements of a successful program, including partnership of providers, community diabetes classes, promotores outreach and support, linkage between diabetes education and clinical care, and program evaluation.

An educational model for medical appointments.

A model of planned appointments to the training and consultant grades in the National Health Service is proposed. Contracts in each grade would begin and end at fixed dates. The aim of the model is to provide a coherent educational and career plan for each doctor with minimal disruption of the clinical service. It is proposed that a phased introduction of the scheme would allow the process of change to be acceptable and the model to be evaluated before a commitment to its full introduction is made.

Interdisciplinary benefits in Project MAINSTREAM: a promising health professions educational model to address global substance abuse.

Our purpose was to evaluate the interdisciplinary aspects of Project MAINSTREAM, a faculty development program that trained 39 competitively selected health professional tutors in substance abuse education. Mid-career faculty fellows (tutors) from 14 different health professions across the US dedicated 20% of their academic time for two years to Project MAINSTREAM. Teams of three fellows carried out curricular enhancement and service-learning field project requirements in mentored Interdisciplinary Faculty Learning Groups (IFLGs). Formative and summative evaluations were conducted via written questionnaires and confidential telephone interviews. The importance of interdisciplinary education was rated positively (mean of 3.57 on 1 - 5 scale). Using 18 parameters, fellows preferred interdisciplinary over single disciplinary teaching (means ranged from 3.40 - 4.86), and reported high levels of benefit from their interdisciplinary collaborations (means ranged from 3.53 - 4.56). Fellows reported that interdisciplinary educational collaborations were feasible (3.31) at their home institutions. The majority (63%) said that their trainees, colleagues, supervisors and institutions valued interdisciplinary training either "highly" or "somewhat", but 22% did not value it. The fellows identified scheduling conflicts (3.46), and lack of faculty rewards (3.46) such as pay or credit toward promotion, as two barriers that they encountered.

Lessons learned from implementing multidisciplinary health professions educational models in community settings.

This article addresses sustainability elements for multidisciplinary health professions education in communities. The results are based on a 5 year program involving multiple health professions education institutions in seven states within the USA. We offer observations and suggestions to others who plan and implement multidisciplinary programs for health professions educators. Our findings are based on the outcomes of the Community Partnerships in Health Professions Education (CPHPE) initiative funded by the W. K. Kellogg Foundation. Data sources included pre and post surveys of students and faculty, site visits, published evaluations and site reports, and a 2 year follow-up evaluation after the external funding phase. Elements of the partnership that facilitated the sustainability of the models were: leadership, complementary missions, curriculum that mirrors clinical community practice, change from outside in, partnership boards, and faculty development. Those elements that were barriers to sustaining the efforts were: professional identities and territorial boundaries, structural differences, costs, and unclear goals. The multidisciplinary components of the community partnership initiative were the most challenging. However, in most programs, they did succeed and are currently in place. By paying attention to the elements that enhance and detract from teaming, one can plan for more successful multidisciplinary education.

"It is your decision!" Behavioural effects of a student-centred health education model at school for adolescents.

Since traditional health education commonly does not affect behaviour, an alternative, consistent student-centred method was developed. Health issues and health-enhancing activities were determined by the students themselves. The students--15-16-year-olds--participated in six 1-hour sessions, three in small groups and three individually. A quasi-experimental pre-/post-control group evaluation was carried out. Fifty-one students made up the experimental group and 47 students the control group. Statistically significant differences in favour of the experimental group were obtained with respect to clarification of individual health issues, reported health-enhancing activities and self-esteem. A tendency in the same direction was found with respect to internal locus of control. Most health-enhancing activities reported by the experimental students had not been treated during the educational sessions. Hence, the intervention seemed to have developed the capability of the students to improve their health by means of starting health-enhancing actions on their own.

An educational model to introduce staff nurses to continuous quality improvement/total quality management concepts.

A new healthcare reforms are implemented and as the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organization standards are revised, the demand for continuous quality improvement/total quality management in acute care settings continues to rise. In this article, the authors describe the process used to introduce nursing staff to continuous quality improvement/total quality management. A curriculum committee of staff nurses, nurse educators, and clinical specialists used the continuous quality improvement process to develop a 1-day program that included didactic and experiential activities geared toward assisting the staff nurse to participate actively in total quality management initiatives.

Clinical governance in Scotland: an educational model.

The concepts underpinning clinical governance are similar throughout the United Kingdom but models for its implementation will differ widely. This model aims to enable practices to identify areas for further learning and development against specific outcomes. Criteria sets and standards are suggested and a governance plan is used to allow practices to prioritise their objectives. Resourcing will always be a major issue and such a model should be fully evaluated.

A nursing education model. For second-degree students.

This article describes and discusses a successful model for an undergraduate nursing major for degree students that may be begun with as little as one prerequisite course and can be completed in just over 13 months. In designing the program, the nursing major was not changed; all class and clinical hours remain the same as in the traditional model. Prerequisites are kept to a minimum to allow the student to begin the nursing courses promptly and to build on the increased motivation that arises with clinical application of theory. Program outcomes covering 12 years and about 1,100 graduates of this program are presented and discussed.

A perspective: the external degree as a viable educational model in nursing.

The external degree is not new in higher education. However it has not as yet been fully developed. Its usefulness has been demonstrated at the undergraduate level where students are able to move up the career ladder to licensure or degree. It appears to be a viable alternative for nurses seeking educations at the masters level also. By definition it is a nontraditional method of delivery. Nursing as a profession abounds with nontraditional potential students. The author has made no attempt to sell the "external degree" to nursing educators. The focus has been on heightening the awareness of readers to this rapidly developing change in higher education. In a time when concepts such as recurrent education, part-time students, credit for life and work experience, meaningful education and the adult student are much discussed in higher education, nursing educators should not be left behind. The external degree, modified or unmodified may well be the mechanism needed for providing quality education for nurses with varying backgrounds.

Collaboration between nurses and agricultural teachers to prevent adolescent agricultural injuries: the Agricultural Disability Awareness and Risk Education Model.

Nearly 2 million children live or work on America's farms and ranches. Despite the increasing mechanization of production agriculture in the United States, children still constitute a considerable portion of the work force on farms and ranches. When adjusted for actual work exposure time, adolescent injury rates on agricultural establishments surpass those of adults (Castillo, D. N., Landen, D. D., & Layne, L. A. (1994). American Journal of Public Health, 84, 646-649). This project, headed by two public health nurses, developed and tested an agricultural safety curriculum [Agricultural Disability Awareness and Risk Education (AgDARE)] for use in high school agriculture classes. Students who participated in AgDARE scored significantly higher in farm safety attitude and intent to change work behavior than the control group. School and public health nurses, working together with agriculture teachers, may make an effective team in reducing injuries among teen agricultural workers.
