Foresters＇ perception of skills and performance levels of field supervisors in charge of chemical weeding operations, which are keys to integrated vegetation management strategies at FMUs, were evaluated through a researcher-administered questionnaire implemented through telephone interviews. The research focussed on chemical weeding, of which implementation quality impacts directly on operational costs, worker safety, negative environmental externalities and crop performance. The study was done to establish capacitation requirements （training needs） for the plantation forest sector in the Eastern Cape, Western Cape and KwaZulu-Natal provinces of South Africa. The results of the research identified skills gaps and emotional issues that could be addressed through training. Overall, chemical weeding field supervisors （CWFS） were adequately prepared to perform in most key result areas of planning and leadership. They, however, faced considerable challenges in functions related to controlling and organizing work. In all three provinces, the highest levels of performance inadequacy were in safety and team discipline. Some province-associated peculiarities in field supervisor performances were also identified. Remedial action that foresters recommended was related mostly to the need to strengthen technical and workplace culture management skills. It was observed that effective skills development in CWFS would require planned continuous improvement programmes.展开更多

The objective of this qualitative study is to identify the preparatory needs of nurses working in the medical and surgical units of a Lebanese hospital in terms of Survival Skills Education for Hospitalized Diabetic Patients (SSEHDP). Method: The focus group method is used for data collection using a semi-structured interview guide. The needs expressed by the thirty-two participating nurses were classified into categories of the competency framework for providing self-management education to diabetic patients proposed by the American Diabetes Association. Results: By focusing on the themes of an SSEHDP, a list of preparatory needs was drawn up. The needs identified and analyzed are then translated into general and specific learning objectives for educational preparation. Conclusion: The needs analysis is only the first step in a work that will ideally continue into the implementation and eventual evaluation of an educational program developed to help nurses acquire skills in the education of diabetic patients.展开更多

T...Formal training can play a particularly important role in supporting the internationalization of small and medium enterprises （SMEs）. However, the demand for education services by the latter still appears limited. This is due to known structural and cultural limits that are found widely in this type of business and to the fact that the provision of training---especially that which is funded^oes not seem to address adequately SMEs＇ needs; in many cases, such training is not stimulating, because it is perceived as too general. In fact, SMEs do not constitute a single homogeneous group and therefore assistance needs vary among the different types of firms. So, especially in relation to internationalization, it is clear that there are important differences to consider due to the variety of approaches and ways of developing this process. In order to optimize the resources to invest in the promotion of training, there is a need to find a proper balance between providing ＂viable solutions for all businesses＂ and offering ＂targeted responses and tailored services＂. In such a context, the main objective of this paper is to identify and systematize the variables that most influence the SMEs＇ training needs related to internationalization by taking into account the differences among them. To this end, an empirical analysis was developed involving a significant number of Italian SMEs by using a combination of qualitative research methods. The results show the critical issues faced by the investigated firms during their internationalization process and highlight some important variables that affect their training needs： export involvement, characteristics of the product/market, characteristics of the company, exporting strategy, and human resources. Based on these variables, the writers identified clusters of firms characterized by similar needs and problems to be faced.展开更多

Data collec...An assessment of staffing and training needs for effective delivery of extension services in mainstreaming sustainable land management (SLM) practices in Kilimanjaro Region was conducted in June/July 2013. Data collection methods included discussions with key informants at the regional and district levels, consultations with village level stakeholders and potential collaborators, review of human resources data both at regional, district and ward levels and collection of individual staff bio-data including capacity deficiencies. The staffing situation at the regional and district levels was considered to be adequate for effective mainstreaming of SLM interventions in the region. Staffing at ward and village levels was very poor and largely inadequate for sustainable execution of extension services. It is optimistically estimated that on average the staffing at ward level needs to be increased by at least 50%. In some districts the deficiency of extension staff at ward level was as high as 80%. Training needs exist at all levels from the region down to community level. At the regional and district levels both long and short term training programs were required. At the community level required training is more practical and purely focused in mainstreaming SLM interventions at individual households and community lands. Potential collaborators with local government were identified in four main categories namely, NGOs/CBOs, private sector, government departments and faith-based organizations. The study recommends a capacity building program on specific knowledge gaps identified at regional, district, ward and village levels. The study further recommends that immediate measures need to be taken by the district authorities to address the staffing problem at ward level including recruitment of volunteers and developing collaboration framework with identified potential partners.展开更多

Adequate pain management requi...Pain is one of the most common and distressing symptoms experienced by cancer patients and can cause significant physical and psychological complications for patients and their families. Adequate pain management requires an understanding of pain, its assessment, and the use of analgesics according to the WHO analgesic ladder;information that is often lacking in routine medical education. Understanding the level of knowledge, attitudes and practices of clinicians who treat cancer pain can help us prepare relevant educational programs to address this need. A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted among randomly selected eligible clinical staff using self-administered questionnaires that contained close-ended and open-ended questions testing factual knowledge on pain, attitudes towards pain management, and practices related to pain management and opioid use. Results were analyzed using SPSS Version 28. Of 66 participants of this study, 78% were female and 65% were nurses. Only 10% had received any additional training in pain management. Knowledge on pain was found to be adequate in some areas, but deficient in others such as “types of pain” and “adjuvant drugs” (35% and 26% respectively). A significant proportion of responses (73%) showed incorrect attitudes towards pain and opioid use. Recommended practices such as prescribing laxatives with opioids were prevalent (72%), however using a tool to assess pain or the WHO ladder to prescribe analgesics was not as common. The results of this study show that despite being a key component of clinical care, pain management is not adequately understood by many clinicians. Gaps in knowledge, and incorrect attitudes could contribute to inadequate pain management for patients. This study provides valuable information for an educational workshop planned on pain management.展开更多

Methods Sixty children with CP were randomly divided into a scalp acupuncture combined with rehabilitation training group （group SA＋RT） and a rehabilitation training group （group RT） with 30 cases in each group. Conventional rehabilitation therapy and balance training were applied in group RT, and scalp acupuncture at close acupoints in the parietal region and sub-occipital region was added besides rehabilitation training in group SA＋RT. Balance functions were evaluated by using Berg rating scale, and abilities of daily living were estimated by using rating scale for activities of daily living （ADL）. Results After treatment, both Berg scores for balance and ADL scores were significantly improved in both groups （all P0.05）, and the improvement in group SA＋RT was more obvious than that in group RT （ both P0.05）. Conclusion Combination of scalp acupuncture at close acupoints with rehabilitation training is superior to simple rehabilitation training in improving balance functions and activities of daily living in children with cerebral palsy.展开更多

文摘Formal training can play a particularly important role in supporting the internationalization of small and medium enterprises （SMEs）. However, the demand for education services by the latter still appears limited. This is due to known structural and cultural limits that are found widely in this type of business and to the fact that the provision of training---especially that which is funded^oes not seem to address adequately SMEs＇ needs; in many cases, such training is not stimulating, because it is perceived as too general. In fact, SMEs do not constitute a single homogeneous group and therefore assistance needs vary among the different types of firms. So, especially in relation to internationalization, it is clear that there are important differences to consider due to the variety of approaches and ways of developing this process. In order to optimize the resources to invest in the promotion of training, there is a need to find a proper balance between providing ＂viable solutions for all businesses＂ and offering ＂targeted responses and tailored services＂. In such a context, the main objective of this paper is to identify and systematize the variables that most influence the SMEs＇ training needs related to internationalization by taking into account the differences among them. To this end, an empirical analysis was developed involving a significant number of Italian SMEs by using a combination of qualitative research methods. The results show the critical issues faced by the investigated firms during their internationalization process and highlight some important variables that affect their training needs： export involvement, characteristics of the product/market, characteristics of the company, exporting strategy, and human resources. Based on these variables, the writers identified clusters of firms characterized by similar needs and problems to be faced.
文摘An assessment of staffing and training needs for effective delivery of extension services in mainstreaming sustainable land management (SLM) practices in Kilimanjaro Region was conducted in June/July 2013. Data collection methods included discussions with key informants at the regional and district levels, consultations with village level stakeholders and potential collaborators, review of human resources data both at regional, district and ward levels and collection of individual staff bio-data including capacity deficiencies. The staffing situation at the regional and district levels was considered to be adequate for effective mainstreaming of SLM interventions in the region. Staffing at ward and village levels was very poor and largely inadequate for sustainable execution of extension services. It is optimistically estimated that on average the staffing at ward level needs to be increased by at least 50%. In some districts the deficiency of extension staff at ward level was as high as 80%. Training needs exist at all levels from the region down to community level. At the regional and district levels both long and short term training programs were required. At the community level required training is more practical and purely focused in mainstreaming SLM interventions at individual households and community lands. Potential collaborators with local government were identified in four main categories namely, NGOs/CBOs, private sector, government departments and faith-based organizations. The study recommends a capacity building program on specific knowledge gaps identified at regional, district, ward and village levels. The study further recommends that immediate measures need to be taken by the district authorities to address the staffing problem at ward level including recruitment of volunteers and developing collaboration framework with identified potential partners.
文摘Pain is one of the most common and distressing symptoms experienced by cancer patients and can cause significant physical and psychological complications for patients and their families. Adequate pain management requires an understanding of pain, its assessment, and the use of analgesics according to the WHO analgesic ladder;information that is often lacking in routine medical education. Understanding the level of knowledge, attitudes and practices of clinicians who treat cancer pain can help us prepare relevant educational programs to address this need. A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted among randomly selected eligible clinical staff using self-administered questionnaires that contained close-ended and open-ended questions testing factual knowledge on pain, attitudes towards pain management, and practices related to pain management and opioid use. Results were analyzed using SPSS Version 28. Of 66 participants of this study, 78% were female and 65% were nurses. Only 10% had received any additional training in pain management. Knowledge on pain was found to be adequate in some areas, but deficient in others such as “types of pain” and “adjuvant drugs” (35% and 26% respectively). A significant proportion of responses (73%) showed incorrect attitudes towards pain and opioid use. Recommended practices such as prescribing laxatives with opioids were prevalent (72%), however using a tool to assess pain or the WHO ladder to prescribe analgesics was not as common. The results of this study show that despite being a key component of clinical care, pain management is not adequately understood by many clinicians. Gaps in knowledge, and incorrect attitudes could contribute to inadequate pain management for patients. This study provides valuable information for an educational workshop planned on pain management.

文摘Objective:To understand high school students’mastery of first aid knowledge and their needs for first aid training,analyze the influencing factors of their mastery of first aid knowledge,and provide a reference basis for targeted first aid training for high school students.Methods:A total of 930 high school students from three high schools in Nanchong City,Sichuan Province,were selected as the research subjects using the convenience sampling method.A selfmade questionnaire was used for the survey.SPSS 25.0 software was employed for data description and analysis.Results:The average score for high school students’mastery of first aid knowledge was(12.23±4.39),with a pass rate of 29.5%.There were significant differences in the correct response rates for each question(4.62% to 92.80%).92.9% of high school students expressed willingness to participate in first aid training.Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that participation in first aid training(not participating in training:OR=2.524,95%CI=1.858-3.428)was an influencing factor for high school students’mastery of first aid knowledge.Conclusion:High school students have insufficient mastery of first aid knowledge,and the correct response rates need to be improved.It is essential to enhance the popularization of first aid knowledge among high school students and implement diversified training formats and courses.
文摘BACKGROUND Orthopaedic surgical education has traditionally depended on the apprenticeship model of“see one,do one,teach one”.However,reduced operative exposure,stricter work-hour regulations,medicolegal constraints,and patient safety concerns have constrained its practicality.Simulation-based training has become a reliable,safe,and cost-efficient alternative.Dry lab techniques,especially virtual and augmented reality,make up 78%of current dry lab research,whereas wet labs still set the standard for anatomical realism.AIM To evaluate the effectiveness,limitations,and future directions of wet and dry lab simulation in orthopaedic training.METHODS A scoping review was carried out across four databases-PubMed,Cochrane Library,Web of Science,and EBSCOhost-up to 2025.Medical Subject Headings included:"Orthopaedic Education","Wet Lab","Dry Lab","Simulation Training","Virtual Reality",and"Surgical Procedure".Eligible studies focused on orthopaedic or spinal surgical education,employed wet or dry lab techniques,and assessed training effectiveness.Exclusion criteria consisted of non-English publications,abstracts only,non-orthopaedic research,and studies unrelated to simulation.Two reviewers independently screened titles,abstracts,and full texts,resolving discrepancies with a third reviewer.RESULTS From 1851 records,101 studies met inclusion:78 on dry labs,7 on wet labs,4 on both.Virtual reality(VR)simulations were most common,with AI increasingly used for feedback and assessment.Cadaveric training remains the gold standard for accuracy and tactile feedback,while dry labs-especially VR-offer scalability,lower cost(40%-60%savings in five studies),and accessibility for novices.Senior residents prefer wet labs for complex tasks;juniors favour dry labs for basics.Challenges include limited transferability data,lack of standard outcome metrics,and ethical concerns about cadaver use and AI assessment.CONCLUSION Wet and dry labs each have unique strengths in orthopaedic training.A hybrid approach combining both,supported by standardised assessments and outcome studies,is most effective.Future efforts should aim for uniform reporting,integrating new technologies,and policy support for hybrid curricula to enhance skills and patient care.

文摘Objective To observe therapeutic effects of scalp acupuncture at close acupoints combined with rehabilitation training on balance functions of children with cerebral palsy （CP）. Methods Sixty children with CP were randomly divided into a scalp acupuncture combined with rehabilitation training group （group SA＋RT） and a rehabilitation training group （group RT） with 30 cases in each group. Conventional rehabilitation therapy and balance training were applied in group RT, and scalp acupuncture at close acupoints in the parietal region and sub-occipital region was added besides rehabilitation training in group SA＋RT. Balance functions were evaluated by using Berg rating scale, and abilities of daily living were estimated by using rating scale for activities of daily living （ADL）. Results After treatment, both Berg scores for balance and ADL scores were significantly improved in both groups （all P0.05）, and the improvement in group SA＋RT was more obvious than that in group RT （ both P0.05）. Conclusion Combination of scalp acupuncture at close acupoints with rehabilitation training is superior to simple rehabilitation training in improving balance functions and activities of daily living in children with cerebral palsy.
