In this study, 25.5% of our patients underwent surveillance colonoscopies at >3-year intervals on average. Significant categories of reasons for nonadherence included logistics, health perceptions, stress, and procedure problems.
Patients who remember their doctor's messages are more likely to have a positive outlook about colonoscopies and IBD, have a better quality of life, undergo surveillance colonoscopies at the correct interval, and perceive cancer risk more realistically.
Maxwell, Hagedorn, Cypers, Moon, Brocato, Wahl, and Prather (pp. 21-46) This study examines a sample of 15 courses in relation to 4 variables of student characteristics: gender, ethnicity, age, and full-time or part-time status. Transcripts were analyzed for 6,196 first-semester students from 9 urban colleges. The strongest relations found were between curriculum and ethnicity. Findings raise questions about student dispersal and concentration, campus community, and first-semester attrition.
SE, as measured by our validated scales, correlates with chart-adherence to surveillance colonoscopy. Our adherence model, which includes SE, predicts adherence with 74% certainty. An 8-item validated clinical questionnaire can be administered to assess whether patients in this population may require further intervention for adherence.
This paper examines the impact of assessment and instructional practices in a compressed-format physics abroad program for life science students from a large U.S. university system. Using qualitative case study methodology, the study investigated the major pedagogical functions of assessments and their implications on student learning across three international sites. Findings from interviews, focus groups, and survey responses of international physics instructors indicated that instructors accommodated the unique program format and student cohort by fostering a highly supportive and collaborative environment for frequent formative assessments, feedback, and intervention. These pedagogical developments provide students the opportunity to learn physics intensively and gain disciplinary, metacognitive, and intercultural understanding.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
