The effects of graphing calculators on the mathematical achievement and attitudes of urban students in high school geometry, 1998
No full textThis study examined the impact of the graphing calculator on performance and attitudes of urban students in high school geometry. The design for this study was true experimental, quantitative, and pretest-posttest control group design with 30 subjects, who were African Americans, in each group. The graphing calculator was used with the treatment group. The statistical procedures used were the F-Test and ANOVA. A Prentice Hall Geometry Achievement Test was used as a pretest and posttest to measure change due to treatment. A Mathematics Attitude Inventory was used as a pretest and posttest to measure change in academic attitude. The study was based on the logical conditional that if urban students perform poorly in mathematics; and if the graphing calculator increases mathematics achievement in general, and improves attitudes toward mathematics, then can the inclusion of graphing calculators on a greater scale increase the mathematical performance and attitudes of these students? The findings were that there were significant differences in the Geometry Achievement Test, the Conceptual Subtest, and the Procedural Subtest scores in favor of the treatment group. However, no significant difference was observed in the scores obtained from the Mathematics Attitude Inventory. The post inventory scores of the treatment group, however, reflected less anxiety and more enjoyment while the control group�s scores reflected more anxiety and less enjoyment. The conclusions were that the graphing calculator, when used as an instructional tool, does improve the performance and probably the attitudes of urban students enrolled in high school geometry
Implementation of the teach-back method in an inpatient pediatric department
No full textPurpose of the Project To increase patient caregiver satisfaction in regard to medication education, by implementing a standardized, evidence-based teach-back strategy by registered nurses within a pediatric inpatient department.Methodology Registered nurses (n=14) at a pediatric medical-surgical inpatient department in NJ were provided with a teach-back training module provided by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. Surveys assessing nursing conviction and confidence were administered pre- and postintervention. Observation of nursing participants during medication administration teaching occurred pre and postintervention. Surveys assessing patient caregiver satisfaction were administered pre- and postintervention (n=40).
Results RN Conviction: preintervention M=8.86, postintervention M=9.57, (t(13)=-2.347, p=.018). RN Confidence: preintervention M=7.79, postintervention M=9.21, (t(13)=-3.822, p=.001). RN Frequency: 50% of nurses had increased frequency. RN Element Use: preintervention M=6.1429, postintervention M=9.3571, (t(13)=-4.418, p=<.001). RN Performance: preintervention M=7.2857, 60.7%, postintervention M=10.0714, 83.9%, (t(13)=-7.320, p=<.001). Patient Caregiver Satisfaction: preintervention satisfaction score sum M=33.95, postintervention satisfaction score sum M=34.35, (t(38)=-.210, p=.418).
Implications for Practice Overall, data and statistical analysis revealed training on the teach-back method significantly increases RN conviction, confidence, and performance in providing patient/patient caregiver education and thus, increases patient/patient caregiver satisfaction. Improved clinical practice improves the patient experience, as supported by previous studies in the literature and concluded with this project.

Persistence of bactericidal antibodies following booster vaccination with 4CMenB at 12, 18 or 24 months and immunogenicity of a fifth dose administered at 4 years of age-a phase 3 extension to a randomised controlled trial
No full textBackground4CMenB is immunogenic in infants and toddlers. We assessed persistence of human complement serum bactericidal activity (hSBA) following a fourth dose administered at 12, 18 or 24 months and characterised the antibody response to a fifth dose administered at 4 years of age.MethodsA phase 3, open label, multi-centre extension to a randomised controlled trial conducted in four countries (number of centres): Czech Republic (nineteen), Italy (four), Spain (four) and the United Kingdom (four). Four-year-old children who were either 4CMenB-naïve or had previously received a variety of 3-dose infant priming schedules and a booster vaccine as toddlers (follow-on group) were recruited. Venous blood samples were obtained to determine hSBA against four reference strains; acting as targets to assess immunity to each of the vaccine antigens, NadA (5/99), fHbp (H44/76), PorA (NZ98/254), and NHBA (M10713) at baseline (prior to vaccination, all participants) and one month following a dose of 4CMenB for all vaccine-naïve and follow-on participants primed with the 2, 3, 4 schedule, and a third of follow-on participants primed with a 2, 4, 6 month schedule.ResultsAt baseline (prior to vaccination), the proportion of participants (n = 468) with hSBA titers ⩾ 5 was similar across all followon groups: 89–100% against 5/99; 12–35% for H44/76; 8–12% for NZ98/254 and 53–80% for M10713 compared with 5%, 0%, 0%; and 60% respectively, for the vaccine-naïve controls (n = 206). Following a dose of 4CMenB at 4 years of age, this increased to 100% (5/99), 97–100% (H44/76), 80–95 % (NZ98/254) and 84–100% (M10713) (n = 210), compared with 89%, 70%, 24%, and 76% respectively for vaccine-naïve controls (n = 192).ConclusionWaning of protective antibodies occurred 12–36 months after toddler booster regardless of age at boost. This was least marked against target strains 5/99 and M10713. A robust memory response occurred after a booster dose given at 4 years of age
