Understanding The Technology Barriers Experienced By Students With Disabilities In Higher Education
Full text linkThe purpose of this qualitative interpretative phenomenological analysis study was to explore the lived experiences and perceptions of college students with disabilities while using technology to pursue postsecondary education. The research problem explored technology barriers students with disabilities might face while participating in their courses due to the inaccessibility of learning materials. The literature reviewed contained many themes, including disability in higher education, assistive technology, digital accessibility, course design, inclusive pedagogy, universal design, and open educational resources. Data for this qualitative study was collected through semi-structured interviews with 12 participants who were active degree-seeking students with a disability who had completed at least one semester. The findings from this study revealed the following four themes: (1) inconsistent LMS usage as a barrier, (2) use of assistive technology, (3) feeling their needs are not understood, and (4) technology as key to their success. The results of this study show that participants experienced difficulties navigating, finding, and using digital course materials and felt that faculty do not generally understand their needs as students with disabilities. The results also indicated that participants felt that technology had removed many barriers experienced as students with disabilities and made postsecondary education possible for them

Addressing Substance Use Disorder: Public Health Interventions
No full textOur interprofessional project used the public health problem solving paradigm to build a case study representing the myriad of factors that impact a patient with substance use disorder (SUD). We explored the areas of comorbidity, family medical history, social network, and environment, among other factors.https://dune.une.edu/caiepfall2024/1009/thumbnail.jp
Interprofessional Simulation Case: Michael
Full text linkRationale
Health professions students do not routinely have curricular opportunities to learn with or from each other across their disciplines. The emphasis of this ISP is on developing capacity for cross-professional communication and on knowing each other’s roles and responsibilities in meeting the needs of the patient, Michael.
Learning Objectives Demonstrate ability to clearly communicate one’s roles and responsibilities to colleagues/patients/clients. Demonstrate responsible, clear (no jargon), and respectful communication with colleagues and patients/clients. Invite (express curiosity about) team members’ diverse expertise, ideas, and perspectives into planning patient/client encounter and care plan design. Demonstrate use of open-ended questions, active listening, reflection, and shared decision-making with patients/clients, Demonstrate capacity to manage difference with the team to achieve patient-centered care
Hand-Based Activity for Navigating Discomfort with extragenital STD testing using a Brief, Unconventional, Transportable Training (HAND-BUTT)
No full textGonorrhea and Chlamydia are the two most common STDs that can spread widely among populations, are highly transmissible, and rates of both have increased nationally in recent years. It is important to identify and treat gonorrhea and chlamydia infections as early as possible in at-risk populations, as they are often asymptomatic.
Healthcare providers have been traditionally taught that genitalia are the site of infection, but inoculation and infection can also involve anal and oral sites. Screening with genital-only testing misses more than half of gonorrhea and chlamydia infections among men who have sex with men, and significant proportions in heterosexual female patients. A recent study found only 50% of primary care and OB/Gyn clinicians nationally were aware of extragenital testing.
The HAND-BUTT Simulation is very brief (2-3 minutes) intervention to train interprofessional learners on rectal STD screening, while simultaneously increasing their knowledge of extragenital screening modalities. Few resources are needed; two sets of hands to simulate buttocks, a cotton-tipped swab, and a student “tester”
MR. PIERRE AND TYPE II DIABETES MELLITUS
No full textVideo presentation about an immigrant farm worker in Maine with type II Diabetes Mellitus that illustrates the relationships between key determinants of health. Our team is composed of multiple disciplines including Public Health, Biomedical sciences, and Osteopathic Medicine. By pooling our combined expertise, we concentrated on identifying the social determinants of health, devising a patient-centered framework to illustrate these connections, and proposing meaningful interventions aimed at improving patient outcomes.https://dune.une.edu/caiepspring2024/1003/thumbnail.jp
A Multidisciplinary Approach for the Management of Allergy Induced Asthma in a Child
No full textOur case followed a 6 year old female diagnosed with allergen-induced asthma at age 4. She had been experiencing a persistent cough, dyspnea on exertion, and fatigue since her parents moved to a rural area five months ago. She had a severe exacerbation and was evaluated by pediatric teams at the regional hospital and multiple urgent cares. Her treatment included an inhaled corticosteroid, leukotriene inhibitor, antihistamine, short-acting beta-agonist, and steroid. Her mother was concerned as she had been falling asleep frequently at school, developed mouth sores, and her face becoming rounder. To address Charlotte’s needs and her family’s concerns, we are taking a multidisciplinary approach to her case. Overall, competencies of telecollaboration, motivational interviewing and communication skills were key factors in tackling this case. Telecollaboration has a lot of nuisances, and it is important to consider ethics heavily when working online. We were able to see first-hand what is like to have a back-up plan if things go wrong, how to help troubleshoot the computer, and that there are certain limitations to this form of collaboration. Motivational Interviewing was an important component of what we got to learn during this experience, we got to practice using open questions, affirmation, reflective listening and summarizing it all for the patient. All in all, this was a very valuable experience that allowed us the opportunity to grow and become better future providers.https://dune.une.edu/caiepspring2024/1011/thumbnail.jp
