“…In contrast to students in WBL, they were performing most of the procedure steps sequentially as they were able to repeat the demonstration at any point, anywhere at several times. This point of view is in agreement with Lee,(2012) (30) and Ray P, (2010) (31) who stated that, use of web as an educational tool has provided students with a wider range of new interesting learning experiences and teaching environments that not possible in traditional learning. In addition, improvements of student performance among students learning online exceeded those of students learning in traditional groups.…”

Background: Health care-associated infection (HCAI) is a major problem for patient safety. Personal protective equipment (PPE) as defined by OSHA is specialized clothing or equipment, worn by an employee for protection against infectious materials. So, Proper education of health care workers (HCWs)about PPE is very important in clinical teaching and consider essential part of the undergraduate nursing programs. Web-based learning is rapidly emerging as a predominant paradigm in the delivery of education in society and it can be efficiently used for different types of education. It is platform independent, convenient in access, cost saving, easily updated contents and with emerging technologies it can be made more effective. The aim of this study is to assess the effect of web-based learning on academic achievement of community health nursing students in personal protective equipment module. Method: A randomized control trial research was used. The study was carried out in skill lab of community health nursing at faculty of nursing, Mansoura University from February to May 2017. The subjects of the study included 140 community health nursing students. These students were assigned randomly into two groups: web based group which included 70 students studying with web based learning module (WBL) and traditional group which included 70 students studying with traditional learning using face to face lecture and demonstration. Four tools were used for data collection: Structured self-administered questionnaire to assess students' socio demographic &occupational characteristics, students' knowledge about PPE and students' attitude toward web based learning and finally the practice assessment checklist. Results: the students in the web based group had significantly higher scores on both personal protective equipment knowledge and skill learning than students in the traditional group (P≤ 0.01).The students also showed positive attitude toward the web-based learning module. Conclusion: The study concluded that both traditional and web-based learning resulted in improvement of knowledge and practice regarding PPE. However, the web-based learning was more effective than traditional learning in increasing students' knowledge and improving skills regarding PPE.

“…Face-to-face fire evacuation trainings take the participants to the previous challenged real-disaster situations, which in turn, creates negative psychological impacts. 20 However, it is clear that the hostage-taking situation had the greatest negative impact on the participants. This incident only takes a few hours, and therefore not nearly as long as a possible hostage situation in reality, but there is an absolute loss of control.…”

Introduction:Crises, wars, and disasters are remarkably increasing across the world. Responders are frequently tackled with an ever-greater number of challenges, and undoubtedly, they are physically and mentally affected during and after their missions, during which posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is considered high-risk. To the authors’ knowledge, no studies have addressed which type of incident has the greatest influence to trigger stress, and consequently, to cause PTSD for the responders after their missions.Methods:A prospective longitudinal study was conducted with 69 participants of the “Safety and Security” course at the Federal Office for Civil Protection and Disaster Aid of the Federal Ministry of Interior Affairs (Berlin, Germany). The course is certified by the Hostile Environment Awareness Training (HEAT) guidelines of Europe’s New Training Initiative for Civilian Crisis Management (ENTRi; Center for International Peace Operations; Berlin, Germany). Four incidents were evaluated: hostage-taking, carjacking, evacuation, and border-crossing. The participants completed the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS) before and after each incident. For each incident, the delta of the PANAS scores was calculated. The differences between the described incidents, as well as the differences between novice and experienced responders, were evaluated.Results:The hostage-taking incident had the greatest influence on the participants’ temper, followed by carjacking and evacuation. Ultimately, the border-crossing event had the least effect on the responders. Novices were more affected by hostage-taking than experienced responders; however, no significant difference had been demonstrated between novices and experienced responders for the other evaluated incidents.Conclusion:Different incidents have big psychological impacts on humanitarian responders, in which consequences vary from short-term effects to PTSD. Therefore, humanitarian responders should be selected very carefully. They should also have more specific preparation for their missions. Mental after-care should be obligatory. Further studies are needed to understand and avoid reasons for the development of PTSD or other potential problems of responders.

Housestaff perceptions on training and discussing the Maryland Orders for Life Sustaining Treatment Form (MOLST)

BackgroundOn-line tutorials are being increasingly used in medical education, including in teaching housestaff skills regarding end of life care. Recently an on-line tutorial incorporating interactive clinical vignettes and communication skills was used to prepare housestaff at Johns Hopkins Hospital to use the Maryland Orders for Life Sustaining Treatment (MOLST) form, which documents patient preferences regarding end of life care. 40% of housestaff who viewed the module felt less than comfortable discussing choices on the MOLST with patients. We sought to understand factors beyond knowledge that contributed to housestaff discomfort in MOLST discussions despite successfully completing an on-line tutorial. MethodsWe conducted semi-structured telephone interviews with 18 housestaff who completed the on-line MOLST training module. Housestaff participants demonstrated good knowledge of legal and regulatory issues related to the MOLST compared to their peers, but reported feeling less than comfortable discussing the MOLST with patients. Transcripts of interviews were coded using thematic analysis to describe barriers to using the MOLST and suggestions for improving housestaff education about end of life care discussions. ResultsQualitative analysis showed three major factors contributing to lack of housestaff comfort completing the MOLST form: [1] physician barriers to completion of the MOLST, [2] perceived patient barriers to completion of the MOLST, and [3] design characteristics of the MOLST form. Housestaff recommended a number of adaptations for improvement,
