    Abstract Medical students are likely to be exposed to COVID-19 patients so achieving high vaccination coverage rates for this group of healthcare workers is important, as is their potential as vaccination role models. The aim of this scoping review was to evaluate the current literature to determine the rates of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy and acceptance, and associated factors, amongst medical students. Systematic searches of the Medline Ovid, Embase, PubMed, and Education Resources Information Centre (ERIC) online databases was conducted for relevant articles with keywords: 'COVID-19', 'vaccine hesitancy & acceptance' and 'medical students'. Articles were included for review if they reported the rates of vaccine hesitancy and acceptance, and associated factors, amongst medical students. Of the 258 articles identified, 52 met the inclusion criteria and underwent full-text review. Rates of vaccine hesitancy ranged from 5.4-86.7%, with generally positive attitudes towards COVID-19 vaccination. The main factors associated with vaccine hesitancy were concerns about the safety and efficacy of vaccines due to their accelerated development, being a pre-clinical medical student, and low perceived personal risk of COVID-19 infection. Inconsistencies were found for the influence of gender on attitudes towards vaccinations. Previous vaccination behaviours were predictive of willingness to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. Knowledge about COVID-19 vaccinations and their importance was found to be deficient amongst vaccine hesitant medical students. Generally, medical students express low levels of vaccine hesitancy. However, due to the variability in the factors associated with vaccine hesitancy across different populations and the dynamic and contextual nature of hesitancy, it is recommended that vaccination intent and associated attitudes are monitored on a longitudinal basis. It is important to map vaccine hesitancy at a local level to allow medical schools to develop strategies to encourage vaccination specific to their school's needs.

    Australian critical care : official journal of the Confederation of Australian Critical Care Nurses

    2023  Volume 36, Issue 6, Page(s) 1004–1010

    Abstract Background: The Australian College of Critical Care Nurses published the third edition of practice standards (PSs) for specialist critical care nurses in 2015. Higher-education providers currently use these standards to inform critical care curricula; however, how critical care nurses perceive and use PSs in clinical practice is unknown.
    Objectives: The objective of this study was to explore critical care nurses' perceptions about the Australian College of Critical Care Nurses PS for specialty critical care nursing, to understand how the PSs are used in clinical practice, and what opportunities exist to support their implementation.
    Methods: An exploratory qualitative descriptive design was used. A purposive sampling strategy was used, with 12 critical care specialist nurses consenting to participate in semistructured interviews. The interviews were recorded and transcribed verbatim. Transcripts were analysed thematically using an inductive coding approach.
    Findings: Three main themes were identified: (i) lack of awareness of the PS; (ii) minimal to no utilisation of the PS in clinical practice and the challenges contributing to this; and (iii) improving the implementation and utilisation of the PS in clinical practice.
    Conclusions: There is a significant lack of awareness and utilisation of the PS in clinical practice. To overcome this, increasing recognition, endorsement, and valuation of the PSs to stakeholders at an individual, health service, and legislative level are suggested. Further research is required to establish relevance of the PS in clinical practice and understand how clinicians use the PS to promote and develop critical care nursing.

    Abstract Objectives: This scoping review explores the extent to which undergraduate medical education have incorporated complementary and alternative medicine in their curricula and evaluates the teaching, delivery and assessment approaches used.
    Methods: ERIC, Ovid Medline and Pubmed databases were searched with keywords related to "complementary and alternative medicine" and "undergraduate medical education" for relevant articles published until August 2020. Data extraction included the presence/absence of complementary and alternative medicine integration, program duration, instructor background, and assessment methods.
    Results: Of 1146 citations, 26 met the inclusion criteria. Complementary and alternative medicine teaching in undergraduate medical education was widely inconsistent and not well aligned with clearly identified aims and objectives. Various complementary and alternative medicine disciplines were taught, demonstrated or observed, and several programs included teaching on evidence-based medicine. Educational outcomes mainly assessed student satisfaction and learning through self-evaluation and rarely assessed for effectiveness with regards to changing clinical practice or impacts on patient outcomes.
    Conclusions: Inconsistencies in complementary and alternative medicine teaching and assessment in undergraduate medical education reflect the lack of defined graduate competencies. An evidence-based medicine component of an educational program is a potential solution to overcoming breadth and content challenges. Curriculum developers would be better guided with research that determines if complementary and alternative medicine program design, content and assessment influence clinical practice and/or patient outcomes.

    Abstract Rubrics are utilized extensively in tertiary contexts to assess student performance on written tasks; however, their use for assessment of research projects has received little attention. In particular, there is little evidence on the reliability of examiner judgements according to rubric type (general or specific) in a research context. This research examines the concordance between pairs of examiners assessing a medical student research project during a two-year period employing a generic rubric followed by a subsequent two-year implementation of task-specific rubrics. Following examiner feedback, and with consideration to the available literature, we expected the task-specific rubrics would increase the consistency of examiner judgements and reduce the need for arbitration due to discrepant marks. However, in contrast, results showed that generic rubrics provided greater consistency of examiner judgements and fewer arbitrations compared with the task-specific rubrics. These findings have practical implications for educational practise in the assessment of research projects and contribute valuable empirical evidence to inform the development and use of rubrics in medical education.

    Abstract Burnout is recognised as a significant occupational hazard for medical professionals. For graduate trainees, across various medical specialties, there is growing evidence burnout results in personal harm and reduces the quality of patient care. Rehabilitation medicine, with its challenge of emotional exhaustion bought about by greater involvement in patient psychosocial well-being over a prolonged period, is significantly under-represented in research into burnout prevalence, impact and prevention strategies. We argue the lack of any evidence base in the Australian healthcare context negatively impacts the ability of training organisations to appropriately support trainees experiencing burnout.

    Abstract Background: Research into how medical schools support students who are pregnant or with current parental responsibilities has been mostly limited to the US context.
    Objectives: To review pregnancy and parental leave policies for students at Australian/New Zealand medical schools.
    Design: A cross-sectional survey.
    Methods: Data were collected between June and September 2021. Websites of Australian/New Zealand medical schools (n = 23) were searched for freely available information on pregnancy and parental leave policies. Each school was contacted to provide supplementary information on the processes to support students who apply for pregnancy and/or parental leave. Outcome harvesting techniques were used to analyse the key attributes and processes used by medical schools.
    Results: None of the 23 accredited Australian/New Zealand medical schools had specific pregnancy and/or parental leave policies. Fourteen of the 23 Australian/New Zealand medical schools responded to the request for more information. All confirmed, beyond their University's general student leave policies, they had no additional pregnancy and parental leave policy. Analysis of each school's processes identified the following themes: lack of school specific pregnancy and/or parental leave policies; lack of public statements of support for medical students who are pregnant and/or with current parental responsibilities; and lack of attention to the specific needs of medical students who are pregnant and/or with current parental responsibilities, including those with pregnant partners or are a birth support person.
    Conclusion: There was a lack of documentation and formalized processes related to the support of this group of students. By creating easily accessible information on pregnancy and parental leave which is nuanced to the challenges of medical school and clinical placements, medical schools and medical education accreditation bodies in Australia/New Zealand can address the needs of medical students who are pregnant and/or with current parental responsibilities and normalize pregnancy and parental status within entry-to-practice medical courses.

    Abstract Objectives: The influence of the pharmaceutical industry is of significant concern in physician prescribing decisions; medical students may not be fully equipped with the knowledge or skills to manage interactions with industry prior to graduation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the characteristics of educational interventions undertaken to improve students’ knowledge, attitudes, and skills in managing interactions with the pharmaceutical industry.Methods: A systematic search of Ovid Medline, EMBASE, CINAHL and ERIC databases identified 3210 primary studies with keywords related to “pharmaceutical industry” and “undergraduate medical education”. Eleven articles were included for review. Results: Disparate methods of teaching medical students how to interact with the pharmaceutical industry were identified, making it difficult to compare the effectiveness of different educational interventions. All the included studies achieved the aims of the described intervention, at least in the short term, suggesting perhaps any education related to interactions with the pharmaceutical industry can aid students in managing these situations.Conclusions: The lack of an evidence-base means more research into the identification of educational interventions which engender durable changes in students' knowledge, attitudes, and skills to manage interactions with the pharmaceutical industry are required. Any intervention will likely be context-dependent, as a universal approach is hindered by the fact different countries have different laws governing pharmaceutical industry-physician interaction.

    Title translation Ausbildung von Medizinstudierenden in der Interaktion mit der pharmazeutischen Industrie: Ein Scoping Review
    Abstract Ziele: Der Einfluss der pharmazeutischen Industrie ist von erheblichem Belang für die Verschreibungsentscheidungen von Ärzt*innen. Medizinstudierende werden vor ihrem Abschluss möglicherweise nicht vollumfänglich mit den nötigen Kenntnissen oder Kompetenzen für die Interaktion mit der Industrie ausgestattet. Ziel dieser Studie war die Evaluation der Charakteristika von Lehrinterventionen zur Verbesserung der Kenntnisse, Verhaltensweisen und Kompetenzen der Studierenden im Umgang mit der pharmazeutischen Industrie.
    Methoden: Bei der systematischen Durchsuchung der Datenbanken Ovid Medline, EMBASE, CINAHL und ERIC wurden 3210 Primärstudien mit den Suchwörtern „pharmaceutical industry“ (pharmazeutische Industrie) und „undergraduate medical education“ (Medizinstudium) identifiziert. Elf Artikel wurden in den Review eingeschlossen.
    Ergebnis: Die Recherche ergab, dass die beschriebenen Methoden der Ausbildung von Medizinstudierenden in der Interaktion mit der pharmazeutischen Industrie sehr unterschiedlich waren, weshalb es schwierig ist, die Wirksamkeit der verschiedenen Lehrinterventionen zu vergleichen. Alle eingeschlossenen Studien erreichten die Ziele der beschriebenen Intervention zumindest kurzfristig, was nahelegt, dass möglicherweise jede Bildungsmaßnahme zur Interaktion mit der pharmazeutischen Industrie für Studierende hilfreich sein kann im Umgang mit diesen Situationen.
    Fazit: Der Mangel an Evidenzgrundlagen bedeutet, dass weitere Forschung nötig ist, um Lehrinterventionen zu identifizieren, die nachhaltige Veränderungen der Kenntnisse, Verhaltensweisen und Kompetenzen der Studierenden in der Interaktion mit der pharmazeutischen Industrie bewirken. Die Intervention wird wohl von den jeweiligen Bedingungen abhängig sein, da einem universellen Ansatz die Tatsache entgegensteht, dass für Interaktionen zwischen Pharmaindustrie und Ärzt*innen in verschiedenen Ländern verschiedene Gesetze gelten. ; Objectives: The influence of the pharmaceutical industry is of significant concern in physician prescribing decisions; medical students may not be fully equipped with the knowledge or skills to manage interactions with industry prior to graduation.
