As a peer-assisted learning process, minilectures on physiology were conducted by students. During this process, students lecture to their colleagues in the presence of faculty staff members. These lectures were evaluated by faculty staff and students simultaneously. The aim of this study was to compare feedback from faculty members and students on 66 minilectures conducted by students. Their perception of different qualities of lecture was assessed using a questionnaire. There were significant correlations between students and faculty members for many qualities of the lecture, including the speed of the lecture, retaining attention, clear introduction, and the overall quality of the lecture. However, ratings for gesture, eye contact, language usage, illustration usage, audiovisuals, voice usage, and important points stressed were significantly different between students and faculty members. Multiple regression analysis was performed to assess the degree of effect of different aspects of a lecture on its overall quality. Aspects such as gesture, eye contact, and language usage showed very low β-values, suggesting a poor contribution of these factors to the overall quality of the lecture for both students and faculty members. The speed of the lecture, retaining attention, and clear introduction were qualities that faculty members and students rated equally, and these were the main contributors to the overall quality of the lecture. Awareness about the possible discrepancy between ratings given by faculty members and students may be important when interpreting the evaluation results of formal lectures by these two groups.

Abstract Backgroud: As the survival rates of cancer patients have been increasing due to early diagnosis and technological advances in treatment, their caregiver burden has also emerged as an important issue. In view of this situation, this study aims to investigate the unmet needs and quality of life of caregivers of Korean breast cancer survivors.Methods: A multicenter cross-sectional interview survey was performed among 160 caregivers of Korean breast cancer survivors. Caregivers who gave written informed consent to participate completed the Comprehensive Needs Assessment Tool for Cancer Caregivers and EuroQol-5 Dimensions. Data were analyzed using the t-test, ANOVA and multiple regression analysis.Results: The mean age of the caregivers was 46.4 years, 44.4% (71/160) were spouses of patients, and 52.5% (84/160) were personally taking care of cancer survivors. Unmet needs were highest in the ‘healthcare staff’ domain (mean ± SD: 1.69 ±1.11), and the item with the highest level of unmet needs was ‘needed information about the current status of the patient’s illness and its future courses’ (1.98 ± 1.04). Unmet needs were correlated with age, educational level, marital status, employment, religion and psychosocial status. Poorer quality of life was closely related to higher levels of unmet needs. In multiple regression analysis, age, employment, religion, and levels of stress and despair were closely associated with unmet needs.

Abstract INTRODUCTION Aims of awake surgery are considered as maximum resection and functional preservation for postoperative quality of life (QOL). However, any studies have not been focused on the fundamental hypothesis that preservation of brain functions contributes to patient’s QOL. In this study, we investigated postoperative QOL and its related factors to reveal contribution of awake surgery for maintaining QOL. METHODS A total of 63 patients who underwent awake surgery were studied. Several kinds of neuropsychological/neurological tests and SF-36 to assess QOL were performed at 6-month postoperatively. In SF-36, 3-component scores, including physical, mental, and role/social component were calculated and they were compared with healthy volunteers. Additionally, their background factors were collected from medical records. Then, influenced background and functional factors to QOL were analyzed using multiple regression analysis. Moreover, voxel-based lesion symptom (VLSM) analyses were performed to investigate relationship between resected regions and QOL. RESULTS Though physical and mental QOL scores were almost equivalent to healthy volunteers, role and social component score (RCS) were significantly declined (36.7, < .0001). Using multiple regression analysis, RCS significantly related to reinstatement among several background factors (p=0.0038). Until postoperative 6 months, 71.6% returned to professional work. Moreover, RCS correlated significantly with working memory, language, and motor function among several brain functions (p=0.019, 0.0028, 0.010, respectively). In the VLSM analysis, patients who resected following regions showed significantly low RCS; the left inferior frontal and superior to middle temporal gyri which relate to language; and right supplementary motor area and cingulate cortex which are involved in motor control or working memory. CONCLUSIONS The important factors to maintain QOL are reinstatement and preserving brain functions including language, motor, and working memory. This suggests that awake surgery aiming for preserving these functions is a benefit for postoperative QOL.

In this study the researchers identify different perceived website quality dimensions. They empirically explore the influence of perceived Website quality dimensions (content, design, use and interactivity, privacy, security and customization) on E-trust: 247 students, instructors, and employees passengers from 12 nationalities in Jordanian, Arabian and American universities were the respondents of this study. A questionnaire was used to explore their perceptions of the last aviation company’s website quality (each of them traveled on) and their E-trust level. Multiple regression analysis was used to test the proposed model. The results indicated that while constructs use and interactivity and design were found to be predictors of E-trust, the constructs for security, customization, content and privacy were not. Perceived quality of website use and interactivity was the strongest predictor of E-trust. This knowledge can provide the website administrators in aviation companies with ways to increase trust in e-transactions among their passengers’ customers.

ABSTRACT Context: Quality of life (QOL) assessment in patients with epilepsy (PWE) is increasingly recognized as an important component in the management of epilepsy. Aims: The objective of the present study was to assess influence of sociodemographic, clinical and pharmacotherapy characteristics collectively on QOL in adult PWE. Settings and Design: This was a cross-sectional, observational study in patients with confirmed diagnosis of epilepsy. Materials and Methods: QOL was assessed using modified QOLIE-10 questionnaire for epilepsy. Univariate and multiple regression analysis were done to determine factors associated with poor QOL, respectively. Results: There were 451 PWE, with a mean age 27.3 ± 8.15 years, 251 (56%) males and 191 (42%) had monthly income < 5000 Indian national rupees (INR)/month. The QOLIE score was 64.1 ± 15.97 (Mean ± SD). The univariate analysis showed factors such as lower monthly income, focal epilepsy, seizure frequency, antiepileptic drug (AED) polytherapy, conventional AEDs and frequent adverse drug reactions (ADRs) had significant negative influence on various domains of QOLIE-10 questionnaire. Multiple regression analysis showed seizure frequency as a significant predictor of most QOL domains and overall score, while ADRs as a significant predictor of all the domains. Seizure type was a predictive factor for domains like emotional well-being and overall score. Conclusion: Present findings showed patients on monotherapy had better QOL while those having lower monthly income, having focal epilepsy and who received conventional AEDs had negative influence on QOL scores. Further, higher seizure frequency and occurrence of ADRs were significant predictors of all the domains of QOL in PWE.
