Using quality enhancement processes to achieve sustainable development and support for sessional staff

Abstract

Consistent with quality enhancement, we report on how we used a continuous improvement cycle to formalise and embed an academic development and support programme for our School’s sessional staff. Key factors in establishing and maintaining the programme included: local change agents supported initially by institutional project funding; School support for key academic and administrative roles; timely access to reports and tools from nationally-funded projects and sessional staff input. Reviewing our approach against national standards highlighted ongoing actions while collaboration with academic developers is critical for advancing our understanding and reviewing our approaches in our continuously changing context.     

微信联合临床技能竞赛在诊断学教学中的应用

目的:探讨微信联合临床技能竞赛在诊断学教学中应用的效果。方法:徐州医科大学2012级影像医学专业2个班级分别作为实验组和对照组,实验组采用微信联合临床技能竞赛教学,对照组采用传统教学。两组采集病史均采用标准化病人。教学结束后,通过考试及问卷调查,统计两种教学成果。结果:实验组成绩明显优于对照组(P<0.05),实验组学生在提高学习兴趣、自学能力、分析解决问题能力、沟通能力等方面的满意度均高于对照组,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论:微信联合临床技能竞赛进行诊断学教学的方法对比传统教学优势明显。

高职院校《兽医临床诊断技术》实践教学改革探索

《兽医临床诊断技术》是高职院校畜牧兽医专业的一门重要的专业基础课。高职院校《兽医临床诊断技术》在实践教学中存在着校内外实训基地不足、实践性教学环节实践性不强等问题。调整实践教学大纲、加强实训基地建设、改革教学方法和考核方式,以提高高职院校《兽医临床诊断技术》实践教学效果。     

高职“诊所式”法律教育课程体系的构建

诊所式法律教育在普通高等院校的引入已取得了良好的教学效果与社会效果,而在高职法律教育中却鲜有问津。因此,结合高职法律专业学生的就业导向,探讨诊所式法律教育在高职法律教育实践环节中的借鉴很有必要。     

Maltreatment type,exposure characteristics,and mental health outcomes among clinic referred trauma-exposed youth

Building upon prior research documenting differential effects of psychological maltreatment, physical, and sexual abuse on youth mental health outcomes (Spinazzola et al., 2014), the present study sought to clarify the relative predictive contributions of type of maltreatment compared to salient exposure characteristics. The sample included 5058 clinic-referred youth from the Core Dataset (CDS) of the National Child Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN) with lifetime histories of exposure to one or more of three specific types of maltreatment: psychological maltreatment (PM), physical abuse (PA), and sexual abuse (SA). First, we examined variations in salient trauma characteristics (age of onset, duration of exposure, number of co-occurring trauma types, and perpetrator type and number) by maltreatment group. Second, we examined whether type of maltreatment remained associated with mental health measures after adjusting for demographic variables and trauma characteristics. Profiles for youth with PM were more severe than youth who experienced either PA or SA only. Co-occurring PM and PA was associated with the most severe trauma exposure profile and with severity of PTSD symptoms, even after adjusting for demographic and trauma characteristics. Youth exposed to SA only had a distinct trauma profile and greater PTSD symptom severity after adjusting for demographic and trauma characteristic variables. Study findings hold important implications for trauma screening, assessment, and intervention, as well as for traumatic stress research methods that extend beyond abuse-specific or cumulative-risk approaches.
