Abstract:

This study presented learning outcomes in each stage of clinical practice as a method to utilize the learning outcomes (PO1-10)that could be performed in clinical practice education based on core dental hygiene competencies of dental hygienists. As the complex competencies such as abilities and qualifications(knowledge, skill, attitude) required for dental hygiene students, the learning outcomes(PO1-10) includes the measures for utilizing the clinical practice educational standard, which is presented in clinical practice1(introduction practice), clinical practice2(intensified practice), and clinical practice3(integrated practice). It also presents the basic data that could perform the measures for utilizing the practice goals and 32 core dental hygiene competencies, which is applied to the standardized clinical practice education manual of core basic dental hygiene competencies. This study aims to provide a basis for utilizing the standard of clinical practice education by increasing the learning outcomes (PO1-10) for clinical practice education of dental hygiene in the future.

Abstract:

Abstract Objective: To collect baseline data on practice types and services provided by orthodontists in Australia and New Zealand. Method: A total of 510 questionnaires was sent and 258 were returned. The response rate was 53 per cent. Results: The average age of respondents was 50 years (SD: 9.8 years) with female orthodontists being younger (Mean: 42.3 years; SD: 6.5). The ratio of responding female to male orthodontists was 1:8.8. Overall, more orthodontists were in solo private practice than associateships or partnerships. New Zealand orthodontists were more likely to be in associateships. Australian orthodontists had twice the number of practices (Mean: 2.4; SD: 1.4) than their New Zealand counterparts (Mean: 1.1; SD: 0.3). Orthodontists estimated they saw a mean of 21.3 (SD: 11.3) patients per day. Older orthodontists saw few patients in a day and spent fewer hours in any practice activity in a week. The mean waiting time for a consultation appointment in the private sector in New Zealand was nearly twice that in Australia. There was a significant association between male orthodontists and referral of patients by general dental practitioners. More than three quarters of respondents incorporated retention fees into the treatment fee. Overall, orthodontists were satisfied with the workload and did not want more orthodontists in their geographical area. Conclusion: This study provides a sound basis for consideration of challenges in practice and changes over time.

Abstract:

The futility of defining planning suggests that there is no planning as a recognizable practice. Sociology of knowledge definitions imply three kinds of planning practices: (1) Generic “planning”—what people do when they are planning; (2) Knowledge-centered “something” (e.g., spatial) planning; and (3) Real planning practiced in specific contexts, from metro-regional planning for Jakarta to transportation planning for the Trans-Europe Network, and enacted in general contexts, for example, informal- or Southern planning. Planning theories are linked to different practices: generic “planning” theories and “something” (e.g., regional, community, environmental, or Southern) planning theories. Selected topics illustrate the “planning” theory discourse and spatial planning theories are briefly reviewed. Three generations of planning practice studies are reviewed: the first, a-theoretical; the second, the “practice movement,” who studied practice for their own theorizing; and the third, informed by practice theories. Five books about planning show how their planning theorist authors understand planning practice. While recognizing planning as diverse practices, they hardly apply “planning” theory to planning practices. “Planning” theories are divorced from enacted planning practices, “something” (e.g., spatial) planning theories include constructive adaptations of “planning” theories and paradigms, but knowledge about real planning practices is limited. Implications from these conclusions are drawn for planning theory, education, and practices.

Abstract:

Self-medication refers to the practice of treating oneself with medication without consulting a healthcare professional. This practice can be dangerous to health. This study aimed to assess the practice of self-medications and associated factors among students in Taiba University, Saudi Arabia. Across sectional study was employed to investigate the practice of self-medications among 210 students in Taiba University by using a self-administered questionnaire.Among all respondents, 87.1% practiced self-medication at least one medication in the last year. The most common self-medication was pain killers (80%) and the most common indication of use was headache (75%). Reasons of self-medication practices were previous experience (52.9%) and no serious health symptoms (51.0%). The most common source of information was personal knowledge (51.0%). The prevalence of elf-medication practice was 87.1%. The most common self-medication was pain killers while, the most common indication of self-medication was headache. The most common reason for self-medication practices was previous experience, and the most common source of information was personal knowledge. Males practiced self-medications more than females.

Abstract:

The original formulation of communities of practice primarily focused on describing how learning, meaning, and identity within a community can translate into a sustained practice. Wenger-Trayner et al. elaborated the concept of landscapes of practice to describe how different communities of practice may interact, and belong to broader landscapes of practice, rather than rely exclusively on their own local situated practices. In this conceptual article, we apply the perspective of landscapes of practice to organizations. The first part of our argument is descriptive, and is aimed at developing a model of landscapes of practice in organizations. With regard to this model, we propose that practices can be seen as multilevel, including local situated practices, generic practices, and cultural fields. This, in turn, helps to clarify and organize a number of central concepts within the practice literature. The second part of our argument is prescriptive, as we suggest that landscapes of practice call for triple-legitimization of situated learning, meaning that legitimization is not only needed at the level of community and organization, but also by attending to the dynamically changing epistemic texture of the landscapes.

Abstract:

Abstract Background: Physician Assistants (PA) and Nurse Practitioners (NP), referred to as Advanced Practice Providers (APPs), are an integral part of cancer care today in community oncology (ONC) and academic institutions across the country. It has been shown, a team approach using APPs can extend the ONC workforce (PMID: 25009939). The need for ONC services will increase with the rise in cancer incidence and prevalence. As the rise continues, studies have shown ONC services will dramatically increase due to the predicted shortages of oncologists. Increasing the use of APPs is a viable solution to this shortage (PMID: 21037868). PAs and NPs have validated their value by safely prescribing chemotherapy (CT) as they provide cancer care. This value has been key for both patient and physician colleagues. The Association of Physician Assistants in Oncology (APAO) pursued research to better understand CT prescribing practices of ONC PAs. The focus was on whether or not PAs were allowed to prescribe CT drugs in their day to day practice. Methods: A survey was used to collect data. The survey focused on APPs scope of practice to include prescribing CT independently (IND) or were there restrictions by the state or organizations they are employed by. For those allowed to prescribe CT, further questions regarding training programs and time periods to demonstrate competency were asked. The survey also viewed physician and employer attitudes towards APPs prescribing CT. The survey was sent in January 2021 to 1307 APAO members via email with a 30-day collection period. Eleven percent were returned (N=149). Results: Respondents (R) were PAs, 95%, NPs, 3% and other 1%. The majority of R worked in Hematology/Medical ONC, 87%, with fewer in Surgical ONC 6%, Radiation ONC 1%, other 6%. R came from 34 states with the largest number representing Texas, 13%, New York 12%, Pennsylvania, 8%, North Carolina,7%, Massachusetts 6% and Florida 5%. Most of the R had been in ONC for 1-8 years (y) (59%), followed by 9-16 y (21%), 17-24 y (16%), and 25+ y (3%). The survey was divided into two arms, those who could IND sign CT orders and those who could not IND sign CT orders. The survey demonstrated 44% of the R were able to IND sign CT orders and 56 % of the R could not. With regard to work setting, 60% of R in this arm worked in academic ONC centers and 35% worked in community ONC centers. Also in this arm, 23% were only allowed to sign existing CT plans that did not require modification and 77% were not. The majority of R could sign existing CT orders (89%) and fewer could initiate and sign new CT orders (35%). Most R were able to prescribe intravenous and oral medication (98%), while fewer could prescribe intrathecal 34%) and clinical trial medications (49%). Of the R in the second arm, 74% worked at academic ONC centers and 19% worked at community ONC practices. When asked if their state medical board prohibited prescribing CT, the majority (77%) reported this was not the case, then if their institution/facilities prohibited prescribing CT, the majority (69%) reported this was true. To explore physician/employer attitudes, a question was posed to ask the APP if their physicians believe that limiting CT to physicians is a safety measure. Responses were mixed, 36% reporting this is true, 33% reporting this was false and 31% as unsure. Next, the APPs were asked if their physicians believed experienced APPs should be allowed to prescribe CT. Again, responses were mixed, 44% agreeing, while 11% disagreeing. Finally, 44% were unsure. When asked if their employer believed limiting CT to physicians is an important safety measure, 47% of the R reported this is true, 19% R reported this is false and 34% were unsure. When asked if their employer believed experienced APPs should be allowed to prescribe CT, 30% of the R reported this is true, 20% R report this is false and 49% were unsure. Conclusion: CT prescribing privileges, are not universal for APPs and the reason for inconsistencies in prescribing CT is not clear. This survey provided insight to the wide range of prescribing practices throughout the US based on ONC settings, geographic regions, and experience of the APP. As APPs are valued team members in extending the ONC workforce, and prescribing CT is a common practice in cancer care which APPs participate in. This would seem worthy of further research to understand the reasons why such discrepancies exist.

Abstract:

Context: Private practice dentistry is predominant in Nigeria. Audits of fixed-prosthodontic practice in these settings are rare and will highlight capacity and guide training. This study aimed to assess the scope and quality of fixed-prosthodontic practice in such settings in Nigeria. Objectives: The study sought to assess: Participants’ sociodemographic and their diagnostic and preoperative practices. The quality of impression making and operative technique, reviews and maintenance, temporization practices and communication with the laboratory. The range of treatments given and provision of advanced treatments. Materials and Methods: An adapted questionnaire was administered electronically on Nigerian dentists practicing fixed-prosthodontics in private practice settings. Retrieved data underwent descriptive statistics and associations were tested with the Fischer’s Exact and Chi-Square tests using IBM SPSS Statistics version 21. Statistical significance was set at p≤0.05.Results: A total of 100 valid responses with a male:female ratio of 2.1:1 from 16 states were retrieved. Fifty-nine participants had only first degrees and mean experience was 14.3±9.5 years. There were 27 adequate responses with regards to range of treatments offered. Sixty-three participants practiced direct temporization. Twenty-one and 14 participants regularly practiced implantology and CAD/CAM dentistry respectively. Direct temporization was significantly associated with increasing education (X2=6.03, p=0,05) and experience (X2=13.2, p=0.03).Conclusion: Only a few Nigerian dentists in private practice gave an adequate range of treatment. Most of them prefer direct temporization. Implantology and CAD/CAM dentistry practice are improving, but are still not very common.

Abstract:

Household solid waste generation rate in low-income countries is increasing due to population growth and changes in people’s lifestyles. Sorting waste into categories is an important step in household waste management. However, there is limited information about sorting practices in a low-income setting like Ethiopia. Therefore, this study aimed to assess household solid waste (HSW) sorting practices, and factors associated with sorting practices.A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted from April to May 2021 in Bedelle town. Households were randomly selected, and household heads were interviewed using a pre-tested questionnaire. A total of 209 households were included. The proportion of households that practice waste sorting was calculated. Logistic regression was used to assess the association between HSW sorting practices and associated factors. A P-value of less than 0.05 was declared as significant. The Hosmer and Lemeshow tests were used to check for model fitness.The result of the study shows that the proportion of householders who practiced waste sorting practice in the setting was 21.53%. The sex of the household head, information on sorting benefits, and the availability of private waste collectors for resource recovery were factors in practicing waste sorting at the household level. Accordingly, male-headed households are 88% less likely to practice sorting practice than female-headed households, and those having access to information on waste sorting benefits are 3.68 times more likely to practice sorting, and similarly, households, where private waste collectors are active, are about 4 times more likely to practice waste sorting at the household level than their counterpart. This finding calls on the municipality to create awareness about solid waste sorting practices at the household level, involving both male and female householders in waste management and mobilizing waste collectors at the household level to facilitate effective waste sorting and reuse as sustainable solid waste management options in the town.

Abstract:

e13513 Background: Having physicians who practice at multiple sites may increase patients’ access to care, but also burden physicians Gynecologic oncologists (GO) are increasingly practicing at more sites across a larger geographic area, but the degree to which medical oncologists (MO), surgical oncologists (SO) or radiation oncologists (RO) are also doing so is unknown. Methods: We conducted a retrospective, observational study using data from the 2020 Physician Compare National Dataset. We included GO, MO, SO, RO, as determined by self-reported specialty. Practice sites with incomplete street addresses were excluded. For each specialty, we calculated the number of practice sites per physician, geographic practice dispersion (median driving distance required to go to each practice site), and temporal practice dispersion (median travel time required to go to each practice site). We used linear regression to compare the number of practice sites, geographic practice dispersion, and temporal practice dispersion by specialty. Results: The number of physicians, mean number of practice sites, along with geographic and temporal practice dispersion by specialty are shown in the table. MO practiced at a smaller number of practice sites compared to GO (p<0.001) and RO (p<0.001). Compared to MO, SO had a smaller geographic dispersion (median driving distance 22 miles vs. 38 miles, p=<0.001) and temporal practice dispersion (median driving time 27 minutes vs. 43 minutes, p<0.001), whereas RO had a larger geographic dispersion (median RO driving distance 58 minutes, p<0.001) and temporal practice dispersion (median RO driving time 63 minutes, p<0.001). Conclusions: Oncologic specialties vary in the number of practice sites and practice dispersion per oncologist. In particular, GO and RO practice at more sites than MO, with MO practices more geographically concentrated than RO practices. While SO practice at a similar number of practice sites compared to MO, their practices are the most geographically concentrated. While these practice patterns may represent increased patient access to specialty oncology care, the impact on quality of care and physician wellness is unknown.[Table: see text]

Abstract:

Purpose – Describing marketing practices is fundamental to understanding both the scope of marketing practice and the actual value it adds to the organization. This paper aims to clarify the reach of marketing practice and the nature of activities that marketers carry out. Design/methodology/approach – The study uses mixed methods, involving qualitative document analysis, qualitative interviews and a quantitative managerial survey. Findings – The findings reveal consistency in the views of academics and practitioners across the following disaggregated elements of practice: stakeholder and relationship marketing, customer analysis, marketing-mix management/marketing planning, and the centrality of customers. However, when these themes are integrated into broader categories of practice, the activities are parceled and prioritized in different ways by the different data sources. Practical implications – The findings have implications for how marketing is practiced and taught and for the future research agenda. Originality/value – This study considers the functional practices within marketing and clarifies the scope of marketing practice.
