The IPE model at SHMS Center for Interprofessional Education (IPE) in the Health Sciences (CIPEHS), affords students a critically reflective and engaging environment from which to acquire knowledge of and application of skills needed using structured IPE experiences to promote the sharing of information and the critical reflection needed to develop a cohesive collaborative patient-centered plan of care supporting a common goal. All IPE experiences supported by this model engage 2 or more professions and may include program faculty, students, clinical partners and client interactions. The model also supports the development of lifelong learning skills using a continuum of experiences appropriate to the learner\u27s current content knowledge and skill set. The purpose of this project is to develop an IPE learning module in a Research Methods course. PolicyMap, a tool that allows users to develop research questions and explore data analysis options, will be used to enable all students in the professional graduate programs in Athletic Training, Physical Therapy, Physician Assistant, Occupational Therapy, and Speech-Language Pathology to work collaboratively

Methods: Fourteen men with obesity walked on the LBPP treadmill at 100% and 75% of their body weight at 3.3 mph, 3% to 15% grade. FO, PFO, V O2 were measured using indirect calorimetry. Results: V O2peak was significantly higher at 100% compared to 75% BW and fat oxidation rates were significantly lower at 100%. Fat oxidation rates decreased rapidly for the 100% BW group and decreased steadily for 75% BW, and at 75%, PFO plateaued at 47% - 62% of V O2peak. Conclusion: Unweighting on the LBPP treadmill is an optimal exercise modality for this population and meets the recommendations for the American College of Sports Medicine for moderate intensity.

Management of patient satisfaction has become a critical element in the day‐to‐day operations of healthcare organizations pursuing high performance. This study is guided by two principal research questions. First, what is the nature of the relationship between patient satisfaction (as measured by scored instruments) and inpatient admissions in acute care hospitals? Second, does the relationship between patient satisfaction (as measured by scored instruments) and inpatient admissions differ between teaching hospitals and nonteaching hospitals? Although not suggestive of direct causation, the study findings revealed a statistically significant and positive correlation between patient satisfaction and admission volume in teaching hospitals only. In contrast, a nonsignificant, negative correlation was seen between patient satisfaction and admission in nonteaching hospitals. In the combined teaching and nonteaching sample, a statistically significant, negative correlation was found between patient satisfaction scores and admission volume. With financial performance being driven in part by admission volume and with patient satisfaction affecting hospital patronage, the business case for a strategic focus on patient satisfaction in teaching hospitals is clearly evident. The article concludes with a set of recommendations for strengthening patient satisfaction and organizational performance.

The lived experience of respiratory therapists (RTs) in Saudi Arabia who works with these infected patients needs further investigation. The study sought to describe the experiences and coping strategies of Saudi RT managing patients with COVID-19. Materials and methods: The study utilized qualitative research methods, specifically employing a phenomenological research design. A total of 25 Saudi RT (RTs) who were in direct contact with COVID-19 patients were selected after they agreed to participate in this study. The study followed a one-on-one semi-structured interview process using the Zoom platform. This qualitative data collection technique focuses on the participants' lived experiences and feelings to discover shared patterns. The data were analyzed via an inductive approach. Results: Six themes were found in the RT perceptions including stress while treating COVID patients, managing the fear of catching of Covid 19, feelings towards COVID-19 patients, challenges faced by female RTs, workplace experiences, and excessive workload. Conclusions: RTs feelings dramatically changed throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. All the RTs have developed a self-copying style that has helped them improve their psychosocial behavior to face the pandemic. During the outbreak, frontline RTs' positive and negative emotions intertwined and coexisted. Negative emotions predominated in the beginning, while good feelings emerged gradually. Self-coping methods and psychosocial development were significant factors in RTs mental health while caring for COVID-19 patients.

Respiratory care clinical instructors play an integral part in preparing respiratory care students to be effective practitioners given that almost 50% of the respiratory care curriculum is conducted in the clinical environment under the supervision of clinical instructors. Professional competence, interpersonal relationships, personality characteristics and teaching ability are all qualities that clinical instructors should possess in order to provide students with quality clinical education experiences. This study aimed to explore and compare respiratory care faculty and students9 perceptions of the most important characteristics of an effective clinical instructor. Methods: A letter of solicitation which housed the link to an online questionnaire was sent to all respiratory care program directors in the US via email. Pro...

Because of conditions that result from inactivity, individuals incur close to $1 trillion USD in health-care costs, and approximately 250 000 premature deaths occur per year. Researchers have linked engaging in yoga to improved overall fitness, including improved muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, and balance. Researchers have not yet investigated the impact of yoga on exercise adherence. The research team assessed the effects of 10 weeks of yoga classes held twice a week on exercise adherence in previously sedentary adults. The research team designed a randomized controlled pilot trial. The team collected data from the intervention (yoga) and control groups at baseline, midpoint, and posttest (posttest 1) and also collected data pertaining to exercise adherence for the yoga group at 5 weeks posttest (posttest 2). The pilot took place in a yoga studio in central New Jersey in the United States. The pret...

The purpose of the study was to examine the effects of an inclined walking surface and balance abilities on various spatiotemporal gait parameters of healthy older adults. Seventy-eight self-reported independent community ambulators (mean age, 77.8 years; SD, 4.8) participated in this study. After completing the Berg Balance Scale and Dynamic Gait Index (DGI), all participants were asked to walk on the GaitRite on level and inclined surfaces (10° slope). Dependent t tests were used to determine statistical significance between level and inclined surfaces for cadence, step length, velocity, and gait stability ratio (GSR). GSR is a measure of the degree of adaptation an individual makes to increase stability during gait derived from a ratio of cadence/velocity. A 2 2 analysis of variance was performed to determine differences in means among the higher-risk participants (as determine...
