Interprofessional education (IPE) builds the foundation for collaborative practice. In this study, the views of the major stakeholders in Bangladesh were explored regarding possible patient outcomes through collaborative practice, which is promoted by interprofessional education.\u0000Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out in seven medical colleges, three nursing institutes, one health technology institute, several hospitals, and health complexes from July 2022 to June 2023. A semi-structured self-administered questionnaire was used to conveniently collect information from 273 intern doctors, 51 recently graduated doctors, 153 nursing students, 71 senior nurses, and 104 health technicians.\u0000Results: The study showed that the means of agreement of their views on different issues related to the patient outcome through collaborative practice were within 75.6% to 86.8%. Although majority of the respondents were convinced about the patient outcome benefits of collaborative practice, the means of agreement of the intern doctors were statistically significantly lower than means of agreement of other groups in different variables.  \u0000Conclusions: Results of this study showed that the majority of the respondents acknowledged that better patient outcomes are possible through collaborative practice, which could be promoted by IPE sessions during their academic years. From this study, it is recommended that IPE should be introduced for further improvement of health service delivery, patient satisfaction, and cost effectiveness.\u0000BJME, Volume-15, Issue-01, January 2024: 25-35","PeriodicalId":492292,"journal":{"name":"Bangladesh journal of medical education","volume":"52 35","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139532957","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The views of the recent graduates were statistically significantly lower on ten issues out of sixteen issues than other respondents groups. \u0000Conclusion: The medical students and interns are acquiring inadequate life support competencies in their courses.

{"title":"Medical students’ motivational factors and academic performance – undergraduate level of Bangladesh","authors":"Molla Muhammad Abdullah Al Mamun, K. Alam, H. K.

It plays an important role in academics, through its persistence and involvement which correlates with different academic dimensions and achievements. Motivational processes influence an individual’s acquisition, transfer, and use of knowledge and skills. Educationally relevant concept of motivation is yet to be revealed. High intrinsic and extrinsic motivation scores are associated with higher academic achievement; whereas low intrinsic and extrinsic motivations are associated with low academic achievement.\u0000Aim: To determine students’ academic motivational factors and its relationship with professional result.\u0000Method: A descriptive cross-sectional quantitative study conducted from January 2022 to December 2022 over 540 students; among the students 209, 119, 101 and 111 were from first, second, third and fourth phases of MBBS course respectively. A self-administered semi structured questionnaire was used for quantitative data collection. For statistical analysis chi squared tests were applied.\u0000Result: Important motivational factor for the learning was to become a good doctor (80.00%) and then to pass in the examination (65.40%). Most of the students were motivated by combined intrinsic and extrinsic mode of motivation; but these findings had no association with the performance of professional examinations.\u0000Conclusion: This study has found that academic motivation of medical students could be influence by different factors. The existence of correlations between academic motivation and professional performance is still questionable and nonconclusive.\u0000BJME, Volume-15, Issue-01, January 2024: 67-74","PeriodicalId":492292,"journal":{"name":"Bangladesh journal of medical education","volume":"43 24","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139532322","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Students’ Perspective on Prospect of Anatomy Education in Bangladesh Through E-learning Using Social Media as a Complementary Tool","authors":"Md Imran Waheed, Manowara Akter","doi":"10.3329/bjme.v15i1.70948","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3329/bjme.v15i1.70948","url":null,"abstract":"Introduction. In the recent global pandemic situation, Anatomy teaching-learning became mostly online-based. Increased use of social media for learning Anatomy is observed among medical students in Bangladesh. Although many students are constantly using social media for learning, there is a need for systematic studies about the outcome and future possibilities of social media in Anatomy education. \u0000Objectives. This study aimed to find the prospect of e-learning through social media as a complementary tool in Anatomy education in Bangladesh. \u0000Methods. The research was descriptive and cross-sectional. A self-administered questionnaire survey was conducted on 317 medical undergraduates, graduates, and postgraduates of Anatomy and other disciplines to analyze their experiences using social media for learning Anatomy and their perceptions, views, and suggestions regarding its use as a complementary tool. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. \u0000Results. Among the students, 55% were females, and 45% were males. About 95%, 84%, and 15% of the students used YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram to learn Anatomy. About 50% used YouTube, and 40% used Facebook daily. YouTube was found to be the most useful social media for learning Anatomy by 84% and Facebook by 12% of the students. These platforms became useful for the students in understanding difficult topics of Anatomy, developing interest, and preparing for examinations. The mean impact of social media on learning Anatomy was 3.603, indicating a positive impact. More than half of the students wanted to use social media as a complementary tool in the future. Different aspects of using Facebook and YouTube for learning Anatomy and suggestions for effective use were discussed. \u0000Conclusion. YouTube and Facebook are the two most popular social media for learning Anatomy as complementary tools among Bangladeshi medical students. There is ample scope for Anatomy educators to make useful video content on YouTube. \u0000BJME, Volume-15, Issue-01, January 2024: 36-48","PeriodicalId":492292,"journal":{"name":"Bangladesh journal of medical education","volume":"45 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139532189","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
