“…In the present study, the most frequent NS reported by the no-help-seeking student population were related to the motivational dimension, especially avolition (items 14 and 15), which is in line with Rodriguez Testal et al [ 21 ] Both items refer to difficulty being regular in daily activities (item 14) and the lack of motivation to do something (item 15). This difficulty in drawing up an action plan may interfere with the student’s commitment to higher education and academic achievement [ 58 ]. The less frequent NS reported by the student population were related to anhedonia (items 17 and 20) and social withdrawal (items 2 and 3).…”

Background: The transnosographic nature of negative symptoms (NS) makes them fruitful for detecting psychiatric symptoms. The main objective of this study was to determine whether NS can be useful in screening for ultra-high risk of psychosis (UHR) or depressive symptoms in the no-help-seeking student population. The most prevalent NS and their relationship with cannabis use were also researched. Methods: From an online survey sent to students, 2128 filled out the Self-evaluation of Negative Symptoms (SNS), Prodromal Questionnaire 16 (PQ-16), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and Cannabis Abuse Screening Test (CAST). Results: 367 students (17.2%, 95% CI [15.6–18.9]) were considered to have UHR (PQ-16 distress score ≥ 9) and/or depression (BDI ≥ 16). The receiver operation characteristic curve showed that a threshold of 13 for the SNS score discriminated this subgroup of students with a sensitivity and specificity of 79.8% and 70.6%, respectively. The motivational dimension was overrepresented and linked to cannabis use. Conclusions: The early detection of NS in the no-help-seeking student population is relevant for detecting depressive and prodromal symptoms. This will enable early intervention to limit the progression to chronic mental disorders. The predominance of NS linked to the amotivational dimension was observed and related to cannabis use.

“…Our case study demonstrates that SAOs felt they tended to provide support from a student-centred perspective when interacting with medical students, while the faculty employed a teacher-centred perspective. It has been shown that student-centeredness not only promotes the psychological safety of medical students and encourages their full concentration on educational activities [ 26 ], but also strengthens the relationship between medical students and faculty [ 27 ]. Therefore, the authors believe that the concept of student-centeredness as perceived by SAOs is an important perspective in the organisation of medical education and should be more respected.…”

Introduction Collaboration between student affairs officers and the faculty is important in dealing with the recent rapid changes in medical education, and mutual understanding is essential to ensure that participants become a cohesive social group. This study explores the identity conflicts of student affairs officers in medical universities using the figured worlds theory. Methods An exploratory qualitative case study was conducted with 24 student affairs officers at a private medical university in Japan. Data were collected through face-to-face, semi-structured interviews and analysed using thematic analysis from the perspective of a social constructivism paradigm. Results Qualitative analysis revealed the following three themes regarding the identity conflicts of student affairs officers: differences in the perception of medical students, difficulties in building trusting relationships with the faculty, and resistance to the medical university’s traditional atmosphere. Student affairs officers tended to provide support from a student-centred perspective when interacting with medical students, while the faculty employed a teacher-centred perspective. Discussion To promote understanding between professions, it is necessary to set aside certain professional views and welcome dialogue with other professionals with different values, while also understanding the multi-layered context of medical education, so that conflicts can be handled optimally and relationships can be professionalised for social cohesion.

“…This questionnaire will be used by all stakeholders involved in learning and teaching, including teachers, students, institutional administrators, policymakers, and curriculum specialists, to gather accurate data on where students' engagement levels in the classroom may need improvement. 15 . The majority of the self-reporting questionnaires created between 2006 and 2020 were designed to gauge participants' level of cognitive and behavioral engagement 6 .…”

“…According to previous studies, there was a paucity of information regarding their validity, dependability, and auditability 6 . Few were lengthy, difficult to comprehend, and expensive, including the Higher Education Student Engagement Scale (HESES) 21 , AUSSE 22 , which caused student bias because students could'ntcomprehendit properly 15 and many items lacked theoretical justification and had no predictive validity 6 . In many of the measures, the context of the engagement, for example university or classroom remained unspecified 23 .…”

Introduction: Medical students drop out rate in Pakistan is very high. In our country, only 84% of students graduate, which is significantly lower than the average for developing nations. Class engagement, has been identified as a solution to the failures, dropouts and motivational lacking of students. Being multifaceted construct, the problems of defining engagement have also led to inconsistencies in measurements too. Most of the previous student engagement questionnaires had lack of information regarding their reliability and validity, transparency and auditability. They were long and complex to understand and only measures the behavioral and social engagement. So there is a need to develop questionnaires that is short, freely available and can easily be understood by all stakeholders involved in teaching and learning. Aims & Objectives: To develop a questionnaire to assess the engagement of undergraduate medical students during classroom activities. Place and Duration of Study: This was mixed method study, conducted at the University College of Medicine and Dentistry, University of Lahore between November 2022 &May 2023under the guidelines of AMEE Guide 87. Material & Methods: After receiving consent, the first draft of the questionnaire was distributed to 14 clinical and basic science subject experts, as well as medical educators, for qualitative and content validation. To determine the response process and to address any misunderstandings regarding the significance of questionnaire items, cognitive interviews with six students were conducted. Responses from 210 undergraduate medical and dentistry students were used to gauge reliability. SPSS version 23 was used to evaluate the questionnaires, a p-value of ?0.05 was considered significant For the scale, an internal consistency of between 0.50 and 0.70 according to Cronbach's alpha was deemed sufficient Results: There were 14 experts who gave qualitative expert validation. The initial student engagement questionnaire contained 49 items to measure 5 theoretical constructs, and were modified to make them more comprehensible and applicable. The questionnaire’s overall scale validity index was 0.84. After the cognitive interviews, there were just twenty items left. Content validation was finished in two rounds with 20 final items, yielding acceptable values of SI- CVI 0.83 & CCA 2.8. After the questionnaire had undergone pilot testing, 210 students filled it out, and the reliability of the survey was evaluated using Cronbach's alpha, which came out to be 0.721. Conclusion: Medical colleges can use this valid and reliable student engagement questionnaire to assess students' emotional, behavioral, and cognitive involvement in class.
