Koettuun informaatioteknologian hyödyllisyyteen vaikuttavat tekijät hoitotyöntekijöillä
2015
Terveydenhuoltoon suunnattu informaatioteknologia on lisääntynyt viimeisten vuosien aikana merkittävästi ja sen odotetaan lisääntyvän edelleen. Teknologian käyttöä kuvaavan TAM-mallin mukaan koetulla hyödyllisyydellä on suora yhteys teknologian käyttöön. Koetun hyödyllisyyden on todettu myös olevan terveydenhuollossa muita toimialoja merkityksellisempi tekijä teknologian käytön selittäjänä. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää tekijöitä, jotka selittävät hoitohenkilöstön kokemaan teknologian hyödyllisyyttä. Tutkimusaineisto kerättiin kolmen sairaanhoitopiirin alueelta hoitohenkilöstölle suunnatulla verkkokyselyllä. Verkkokyselyn vastaamisen aloitti kaikkiaan 359 henkilöä, joista ai…
ACTIVITIES TO PROMOTE THE SELF-LEARNING OF THE EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION STUDENT OUTCOME
2018
[EN] Universities all over the world are implementing a competence-based type of teaching and learning to guarantee certain student learning outcomes at the end of the studies. To reach these student outcomes, active methodologies should be included in teaching practice at the same time that carefully designed rubrics might be used for the evaluation of the students. Despite the fact that teachers introduce more and more authentic tasks in the classroom, these activities are not still well employed by all the University teaching staff. The goal of this work is to propose a guideline of activities to promote the self-learning of the effective communication outcome by the students. For that p…
A precise stroke classification for evaluation of ischemic stroke subtypes and their relation with diabetes: is TOAST the best?
2010
To The Editor: Regarding the study by Turin et al1 performed to estimate the secular time trends in incidence using a population-based stroke registry in Japan, we discuss some issues of potential interest. First, have the authors classified stroke subtypes according TOAST classification or Oxfordshire classification? No mention has been made in the text concerning the classification methodology of ischemic stroke. It is conceivable that applying the TOAST classification2 of ischemic stroke (a classification with clinical, pathophysiological, anatomic, and instrumental basis that is easily applicable and widely validated) could provide a more precise selection of patients with lacunar strok…
