It is the sequelae that present a complication for the patient and medical care as the level of awareness regarding their significance is commonly underestimated. With TBI, it is probable that severe medical consequences are complicated further by the absence of serious signs of brain tissue damage at initial examinations. As a result, many are treated and released and a greater number do not seek medical care [1].

Background: Nurses have reported a lack of knowledge regarding substance use disorder. Previous encounters with the patient population affected by substance use disorder and a lack of knowledge can lead to a lack of perceived competency among nurses. Limited research on continuing education interventions have suggested an improvement in nurses’ knowledge and sense of competency in caring for patients with substance use disorder. Method: The purpose of this study was to evaluate a continuing education intervention on nurses’ knowledge and perceived competency regarding the care of hospitalized patients with substance use disorder. A pre-test/post-test design was utilized to assess changes in knowledge and perceived competency immediately before and after the intervention for 31 hospital nurses using evidence-based tools and measures. Results: Directly following the intervention, knowledge and perceived competency scores were significantly improved among the nurse participants, while there was no statistical significance noted between the demographic characteristics and the pre-test/post-test results. Conclusion: The educational intervention was found to significantly improve knowledge and perceived competency scores among nurses as evidenced by the pre-test/post-test scores. Thus, nurses working with patients diagnosed with substance use disorder could benefit from continuing education on substance use disorder.

Aims: To assess the knowledge of cardiovascular risk factors and reduction measures among primary school teachers in rural and urban areas in Anambra state. Study design: Comparative Cross-sectional study. Place and duration of study: Urban and rural primary schools in Onitsha North and Dunukofia local government areas of Anambra state between March–October 2015. Methodology: A random sample of 320 urban and rural primary school teachers (160 in each arm) who were less than 60 years, not pregnant and not on anti-hypertensive drugs were included in the study. Data was collected using a semi-structured interviewer-administered questionnaire and focus group discussions. Results: Were predominantly female (97.81%), mean age of 50.78+5.13 years. Awareness of cardiovascular disease was higher in urban than rural respondents (88% vs. 76%; P=0.005). Commonest source of information was TV/Radio, more in urban respondents (72% vs. 69%; P=0.008). Overall, 63.49% of respondents had high knowledge while 36.56% had low knowledge of cardiovascular disease risk factors. Most identified risk factors were lack of exercise, smoking, non-consumption of fruit/vegetables (98.75%, 96.56%, 94.38% respectively) and least identified risk factors were body site of fat deposition, physical inactivity, consumption of packaged processed food (16.25%, 11.25%, 17.19%). More urban respondents knew non-consumption of fruits/vegetables, fatty foods and stress as risk factors (P<0.000, P=0.033, P=0.006 respectively). For risk reduction measures, 61.25% had high knowledge while 38.75% had low knowledge. Regular medical check-up, cholesterol check and reduced alcohol intake (49.06%, 45.94%, and 45.63% respectively) were the most identified while 5-servings of fruit/day, regular blood sugar (16.56%, 25% respectively) were the least identified measures. Knowledge of exercising 30-minutes/day, consumption 5-servings of fruit/day, avoidance of fried foods were statistically higher in rural teachers. Conclusion: There was high awareness of risk factors and reduction measures in rural than urban teachers with no statistical difference overall.

Introduction: The development of a society depends on public health of its people. In cases threatening public health, external parasites is still a health problem arises. Prevalence of head lice in children 6-12 years and primary schools developed countries is 10.2 percent. On the other hand there is also a problem in developing countries shampoo permethrin in the treatment of head lice are commonly used, often by health care providers were available, patients are taught how to use it. This study aimed to compare the effect of role playing and lectures on how to use permethrin shampoo on the treatment of female primary school students with Pediculosis was IranshahrMethods: This study was semi-experimental clinical trial in which 500 students with Pediculosis girls’ primary schools in six districts of the city of Iranshahr participated and were randomly assigned to two groups of 250 lectures and role shampoos containing permethrin consumption by health experts schools were taught in classes of 10 students. Questionnaire Include questions about individual and family behavior, demographic, and health documents of interviews of students completed. After two weeks of treatment, subjects in the examination and comparison of the results in the two groups were recorded in a questionnaire. All 18 spss software using descriptive and inferential statistics (frequency and percentage) t T test and chi-square tests were analyzed.Results: Students with an average age of 50/1 ± 05/9 year, most of them first-grade 8/21% and their average 31/2 ± 4/17 respectively. The two groups in terms of level of education, father’s occupation, parents’ education, income, length of hair, itching, hair, bathe and comb woman hair were not significantly different times and were equal. Two weeks after using the shampoo treatment in the Department of roles 5/71% 5/28% and lecture groups and the chi-square test, this difference was significant too (p=0/00).Conclusion: Educational method greatly contributes to more effective use shampoo permethrin in lice treatment is speech. Better school health educators in their educational programs, from dynamic and consistent with the goal of changing behavior that provokes active participation of learners in the learning process use. Role Playing use shampoo anti-lice used to training in the treatment of head lice in schools achieved better results.

With an example of truck refrigerant filling process, an experimental method by E-prime was used to verify the analysis of human error probability in the refrigerant filling process by The Technique of Human Error Rate Prediction (THERP). The result of the experiment is basically in coincidence with the result of THERP. The weakness of THERP is that it calculates the human error, ignoring the cognitive process of the operation behavior.

In Bangladesh, the nutritional status of adolescents is reprehensible, where a large number of adolescent girls are suffering from malnutrition. Among others, anaemia is currently one of the most common and intractable nutritional problems that may develop at any stage of the life cycle but children, adolescent girls and women of reproductive age are high-risk groups for developing anaemia. Although the situation of anaemia among adolescents has improved over the past few years, the current magnitude of the problem in both urban and rural areas is clearly a significant public health concern for the country. Therefore, a specific health education program on nutritional anaemia will be beneficial to sensitize adolescent girls on related topics and also contribute to self-care and behavior change, therefore, improve their quality and value of life.

Tanzanian men who have sex with men (MSM) experience HIV disparity and are disproportionately vulnerable to psychosocial health problems together called SAVID (Substance abuse, childhood and adolescent sexual Abuse [CSA], anti-gay Violence, Internalized homonegativity [IH], and Depression). We applied syndemic theory to assess additive effects of the SAVID problems on HIV seropositivity among 300 MSM from two Tanzanian cities, who provided demographic, psychosocial health–problem, and HIV-status information. Prevalence rates of the problems were substance abuse during condomless sexual intercourse (37.3%), a history of CSA (35.3%), anti-gay violence (22%), high IH (52.7%), and depression (58%). Bivariate analysis showed a significantly positive “dose-response” relationship between the SAVID-problem count and HIV seropositivity: SAVID problems significantly increased the odds of HIV seropositivity (odds ratio, 1.42). This is the first study in sub-Saharan Africa to use syndemic theory to explore additive effects of coexisting psychosocial health problems on HIV seropositivity among Tanzanian MSM. Our results underscore the need for comprehensive HIV interventions targeting MSM.

Background: Simulation has been widely adopted as a training and assessment tool in medical education. The aim of our research was to investigate an influence of hybrid simulation on the students’ success at bladder catheterization (BC) procedure, on the knowledge retention and communication with patient-actors. We were interested in the impact of BC protocol repetition and real life clinical experience of BC on the result of BC procedure on the model as well as hybrid model. We also wanted to determine students' opinion about the usefulness of learning by simulation. Methods: Repeated measures design was used. 28 students were trained during the workshop to perform BC procedure on the different model and assessed by an objective structured clinical examination (OSCE). They were randomly divided into 2 groups (control group: model of the body part (manikin) and research group: hybrid simulator model (HSM)). The first OSCE was done 6 weeks and the second OSCE 12 weeks after training. Students completed questionnaires on learning by simulation. Results: Students performed statistically significantly better at OSCE 2 independent of simulation environment (p<0.001 for male HSM and p=0.023 for female HSM in research group, p<0.001 for male manikin, p=0.014 for female manikin in control group). Research group students have better results than control group but the difference was not statistically significant. Communication errors were less common within research group, especially at OSCE 1. Students assessed hybrid simulation as more useful (p=0.022) than a regular manikin model simulation. Conclusions: HSM provides medical students with quality learning of BC procedure. Hybrid simulation improves communication with patient-actor and students perceive it as useful.

We also wanted to determine students' opinion about the usefulness of learning by simulation. \u0000Methods: Repeated measures design was used. 28 students were trained during the workshop to perform BC procedure on the different model and assessed by an objective structured clinical examination (OSCE). They were randomly divided into 2 groups (control group: model of the body part (manikin) and research group: hybrid simulator model (HSM)). The first OSCE was done 6 weeks and the second OSCE 12 weeks after training. Students completed questionnaires on learning by simulation. \u0000Results: Students performed statistically significantly better at OSCE 2 independent of simulation environment (p<0.001 for male HSM and p=0.023 for female HSM in research group, p<0.001 for male manikin, p=0.014 for female manikin in control group). Research group students have better results than control group but the difference was not statistically significant. Communication errors were less common within research group, especially at OSCE 1. Students assessed hybrid simulation as more useful (p=0.022) than a regular manikin model simulation. \u0000Conclusions: HSM provides medical students with quality learning of BC procedure. Hybrid simulation improves communication with patient-actor and students perceive it as useful.","PeriodicalId":91744,"journal":{"name":"Journal of health education research & development","volume":"5 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.4172/2380-5439.1000235","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48956857","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Family education is a fundamental pillar for individuals' education and an essential part of the personality and human constitution of each of us. This is what has motivated our interest in ascertaining what has been published on this important subject. We do so through attempting to discover what has been published in leading Spanish education journals such as Revista de Educacion, Revista Espanola de Pedagogia, Revista Bordon, Revista de Investigacion Educativa and Revista Ensenanza and Teaching.
