Background: Shared decision-making (SDM) is crucial in healthcare to facilitate effective communication between providers and patients, aiding in making optimal medical decisions. Communication skills training (CST) can improve physicians' ability in SDM. However, SDM CST for medical students in Taiwan is scarce, and research comparing online versus in-person CST outcomes is lacking.

Article Synopsis
  • Emergency care for mental health conditions is rising globally, highlighting the need for emergency physicians to effectively manage psychiatric emergencies for both patient welfare and public safety.
  • A survey conducted among emergency physicians in Taiwan revealed that factors such as clinical experience, hospital affiliation, and training frequency significantly impact their confidence in handling acute psychiatric cases.
  • Results indicated that training led by psychiatrists and involvement in clinical assessments improved physicians' competence in managing psychiatric emergencies, particularly in elder patients.

Background: Physicians' values about what constitute their professional identities are integral in understanding how they ascribe meaning to their practice. However, there is no general consensus on the conceptualization and measurement of physicians' professional identities. This study developed and validated a values-based scale for measuring physicians' professional identities.

Background: As a successful innovation, competency-based medical education and its assessment tools continue to be a key strategy in training future doctors and tracking their performance trajectories. Linked to professional identity, evidence suggests that clinical competence is related to thinking, acting and feeling like a physician. Thus, incorporating the values and attitudes of healthcare professions as part of their professional identity in the clinical workplace improves professional performance.

Continued efforts are made on the development of earth-abundant metal catalysts for dehydrogenation/hydrolysis of amine boranes. In this study, complex [K-18-crown-6-ether][(NO)Fe(μ-Pyr)(μ-CO)Fe(NO)] (, Pyr = 3-methylpyrazolate) was explored as a pre-catalyst for the dehydrogenation of dimethylamine borane (DMAB). Upon evolution of H from DMAB triggered by , parallel conversion of into [(NO)Fe(,'-PyrBHNMe)] () and an iron-hydride intermediate [(NO)(CO)Fe(μ-H)Fe(CO)(NO)] () was evidenced by X-ray diffraction/nuclear magnetic resonance/infrared/nuclear resonance vibrational spectroscopy experiments and supported by density functional theory calculations.

Introduction: Triage is one of the most important tasks for nurses in a modern emergency department (ED) and it plays a critical role in pediatric trauma. An appropriate triage system can improve patient outcomes and decrease resource wasting. However, triage systems for pediatric trauma have not been validated worldwide.

Background: Improving the self-efficacy of intensive care unit nurses for delirium care could help them adapt to the changing situation of delirium patients. Validated measures of nurses' self-efficacy of delirium care are lacking OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to develop a Delirium Care Self-Efficacy Scale for assessing nurses' confidence about caring for patients in the intensive care unit and to examine the scale's psychometric properties.

Methods: Draft scale items were generated from a review of relevant literature and face-to-face interviews with intensive care unit nurses; content validity was conducted with a panel of five experts in delirium.

Article Synopsis
  • A study evaluated the effectiveness of immersive 360° virtual reality (VR) video compared to 2D VR video for teaching clinical skills, particularly history taking and physical examination, to medical students.
  • 64 senior medical students were randomly assigned to either a 10-minute immersive 360° video group or a 2D video group, with both groups receiving similar instructional content.
  • Results showed that the 360° VR group scored higher in skills assessment and learner satisfaction, indicating it may enhance learning despite a higher cognitive load.

Background: Medical students in block clerkships constantly adapt to new environments and learn to interact with new people as they rotate between specialties. This frequent change potentially limited interns' opportunities for participation in real clinical practice. The aims of this study were to explore interns' conceptualization of their learning opportunities and experiences in the workplace during an emergency medicine (EM) block internship.

Article Synopsis
  • - Medical students have initiated service-learning programs to aid underserved communities, particularly in remote indigenous villages, but face challenges due to evolving rural healthcare demands influenced by integrated delivery systems (IDS).
  • - A study involving interviews with 18 medical students reveals that the implementation of IDS introduced changes that created tensions in their service-learning experiences, leading to personal conflicts and learning opportunities.
  • - The findings suggest that flexible goal-setting and adaptability are essential for students to maintain their values and effectively contribute to rural healthcare amidst these challenges.

Background: Recent changes in medical education calls for a shift toward student-centered learning. Therefore, it is imperative that clinical educators transparently assess the work-readiness of their medical residents through entrustment-based supervision decisions toward independent practice. Similarly, it is critical that medical residents are vocal about the quality of supervision and feedback they receive.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an emerging viral disease that has caused a global pandemic. Among emergency department (ED) patients, pediatric patient volume mostly and continuously decreased during the pandemic period. Decreased pediatric patient volume in a prolonged period could results in inadequate pediatric training of Emergency Medicine (EM) residents.
