Methodological Approaches

While increasing emphasis is being placed on geriatric psychiatry consultation and outreach services, there is considerable variation in terms of the composition and direction of these programs. Programs vary in terms of their objectives, location, target population, use of health professions and other resources and their method of consultation. The purposes of this paper are to review the characteristics of existing programs, to review the needs of the targets of consultation and to consider theoretical and methodological approaches which have been found to be useful in mental health/psychiatric consultation, in continuing medical education, and in program evaluation. On the basis of this review, future directions for effective approaches to consultative outreach in geriatric psychiatry will then be proposed.

Future Direction

Background: Medical education research has been flourished in the past two decades in Indonesia. It is highly important to study results of medical education researches in Indonesia to provide future direction for medical education. Six published literature in medical education from Asian context was used as the basis of this study.Method: We used the narrative review in which quantitative data were interpreted qualitatively. All national and international publication and the unpublished research in medical education from Indonesia between 2000 - 2013 were collected with multiple methods based on 8 criteria of inclusion/ exclusion. We also grouped the articles into quantitative and qualitative groups based on each method in each study.Results: Total articles interpreted was 151 and grouped into 17 areas of interest and level of evidences from ‘very rarely’ to ‘very frequently’ studied. Studies in the area of understanding problem–based learning (PBL) are still dominating the area of interest including the student-assessment within PBL program. Other areas are still rarely done, especially research in health professions education other than medical doctors.Conclusion: Research in medical education in Indonesia should be more stimulated; in terms of numbers and quality, more importantly to strive for future agent of culture, socio-economic and political changes based on the actual community problems in the universal coverage era toward solid interprofessional team work to accomplish patient safety.

Abstract Background The ICAP framework based on Cognitive Science posits four modes of cognitive engagement: Interactive, Constructive, Active, and Passive. Focusing on the wider applicability of discussion as interactive engagement in medical education, we investigated the effect of discussion when self-study preceded it and further investigated the effect of generating questions before discussions. Methods This study was conducted in the second semester of 2018, and 129 students majoring in health professions, including medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, and nursing, participated. The students were assigned into four different trial groups, who were asked to fill out a Subjective Mental Effort Questionnaire after completing each session. Their performance in post-test scores and their mental efforts were analyzed. Results A Bonferroni test for group comparison indicated that the self-study and question-generated group had the highest performance and that the lecture and question-received group had the lowest performance when comparing the total score. By using a mediation model, it was confirmed that the participants who showed a higher level of testing mental effort also showed higher levels of studying and discussion mental effort. Conclusions Our findings support the ICAP framework and provide practical implications for medical education, representing the fact that students learn more when they are involved in active learning activities, such as self-study and question generation, prior to discussions.

Narrative Framework

Abstract Divisive, disabling and dangerous power has featured heavily in health professions literature, social media and medical education. Negative accounts of the wielding of power have discoloured the lens through which the public sees medicine and distorted the view of a profession long associated with healing, humanism and heart. What has been buried in the midst of this discourse are positive accounts of power where the yielding of power is encouraging, empathetic and empowering. This article offers three personal vignettes illustrating the ability of power to positively affect lives in the practice of medicine, for patients and doctors alike. More of these stories are needed to uplift and rebalance the conversation on physician power and how it can be used for good. It is necessary to provide a narrative framework of what it looks like to be a healer and a humanistic doctor to satisfy the general public through a commitment to cultivate multidimensional future healthcare providers.
