Sixty-two inner-city Canadian boys identified as struggling readers participated in a 22-week intervention that examined the effects of male reading tutors, computer-based texts, and choice of reading materials. Immediately after the intervention, boys demonstrated between-group changes to reader self-perceptions and gendered views of reading but no between-group differences in achievement. Two years after the intervention’s completion, the boys’ reading comprehension achievement scores were again examined and compared to 62 non-participating boys matched at the time of the study’s onset. Results showed no significant differences between the two groups. Of the boys who participated in the intervention, working with male reading tutors and with computer-based texts did not result in higher achievement than working with female reading tutors or with print-based texts. However, boys who were not given a choice in their reading materials demonstrated reading achievement six months ahead of the boys who were given a choice.

People With Dementia

Background: The outcomes of hospitalized People with Dementia (PwD) are likely to be negative due to, among other key causes, negative staff attitudes and limited staff knowledge regarding dementia. Targeted interventions have been shown to positively change the attitudes of the hospital staff while also increasing their overall knowledge of dementia. However, training effects are often short-lived and frequently long-term effects are not examined in studies. Objective: To examine whether attending a dementia training program changes the attitudes of hospital staff toward PwD and/or increases their knowledge levels about dementia, and whether or not these changes are stable. Methods: The training program lasted two days and N = 60 attending hospital staff members agreed to participate in the study. Data were assessed with questionnaires prior to the training, 3 months, and 6 months after the training. German versions of the Dementia Attitude Scale (DAS-D) and the Knowledge in Dementia (KIDE) scale were used. Additionally, data about perception of PwD and confidence in dealing with challenging behavior were collected and analyzed. Results: After the training program, participants showed a significantly better attitude toward PwD as measured by DAS-D. These time-effects occurred in both DAS-D subscales (“dementia knowledge” and “social comfort”). Although a positive trend could be seen in the KIDE scale, no statistically significant increase occurred over time. Conclusion: Specialist training programs seem to be promising in positively changing attitudes toward and increasing knowledge about PwD with long-term effects. Further research should address the effects of attitude change in patient care.

Wild Life

An organization as big as Unilever (1975 sales were £7000 million) needs to consider the balance of interest between shareholders, employees, customers, government and the environment. Many routine decisions are computerized and no longer of scientific interest. The talk will be concerned with some more complex problems. Decision trees are being used on investment and withdrawal problems. Systems analysis helps us to study the long-term effects of effluents on wild life in rivers. We have the world’s largest private telecommunications network so that managers can have access to current information and we have computer based financial models to enable us to explore the effects of decisions on cash and profit flows.

Abstract Objective Jockeys have high rates of concussion, with 5% of jockeys receiving at least one concussion annually. The impact of acute concussion upon cognition is well understood, but less is known about the long-term effects of concussion upon cognition. Our aim was to assess the impact of concussion upon jockeys who had provided pre-concussion assessments of cognition using a prospective design. Method In this study, over a 5-year period, we assessed the cognitive performance of jockeys with ≥1 medically diagnosed concussion (MDC; n = 17, months since concussion, M = 29.18), against those who had not been concussed (NC; n = 41). Jockeys who had not been concussed in the preceding 6 months completed four computer-based cognitive assessments from the CogSport battery. Results Unlike the majority of the small existing literature, there was no difference (p ≥ .05) between the MDC and NC groups after controlling for age and baseline performance. Additionally, we used a measure of reliable change to assess for clinically meaningful decrements from baseline in each test and composite score 5 years later. None of the jockeys in the MDC group recorded significant decrements on any CogSport measure from baseline (z > −1.65). Conclusions The findings suggest that the presence of concussion does not result in persistent decrements in cognitive performance and that when findings are considered collectively, assessing factors beyond medically diagnosed concussion (e.g., chronic stress, undiagnosed concussion) may improve the interpretation of our current findings.

Abstract Background We implemented a one-year antimicrobial stewardship training program that lasted through 2018 where we assisted 9 long-term care facility (LTCF) consultant pharmacists in promoting antibiotic stewardship programs (ASP) in 32 LTCF (Figure 1). Surveys were conducted during and after the training program to assess performance. Methods Infection Preventionists (IP), Directors of Nursing (DON) and Medical Directors (MD) of the LTCF received mail surveys in 2018 and online surveys in 2019. It included questions assessing the respondents’ perceptions of their ASP, barriers to ASP implementation and stewardship related knowledge, and the skills and contributions of their consultant pharmacists. Qualitative analyses categorized reported barriers into common themes. Fisher exact test compared perceptions of consultant pharmacists’ performance and frequently reported barriers during training and after the intervention was completed. Results Representatives (IP, DON and/or MD) of 18 facilities responded to the surveys at both time points of the study, with 34 individual surveys in 2018 and 25 in 2019. Most rated their consultant pharmacists as knowledgeable and helpful who regularly provided feedback and suggestions both during and after the training (Table 1). Fifty-six percent of facilities reported that their consultant pharmacists were similarly involved, and 12% felt they were more involved, in ASP implementation in 2019 compared to 2018. Top 3 reported barriers to ASP implementations were the same during 2018 and 2019 (Table 2). Overall, 84% of facilities in 2019 believed that the consultant pharmacists “definitely helped” their ASP efforts, and 80% of facilities desired to continue the partnership into the future. Table 1. Comparison of Consultant Pharmacists’ Performance Evaluations During (2018) and After (2019) Completion of Training Figure 3. Barriers to ASP implementation reported during (2018) and after (2019) training. Conclusion This study demonstrates that training consultant pharmacists resulted in meaningful actions and prolonged engagement in ASP activities. Efforts should be directed on making similar training programs available nationwide for consultant pharmacists working in LTCF. Disclosures Muhammad Salman Ashraf, MBBS, Merck & Co.
