To determine the role of a specific module in motivating medical educators to promote self-directed learning (SDL) in Medical Education. Methods The present study was conducted after obtaining institutional ethical clearance and informed consent from the participants. One-month mentor-learner web sessions on SDL using Google Group were arranged after administrative approval was obtained. There were 42 participants in the study. The whole module was conducted online. Study materials were provided to the participants using the Google Group and the WhatsApp Group, and for group activities learners were divided into five groups. Results Faculty members were motivated to apply their acquired skills as per feedback responses, reflection writing analysis, responses to motivational scale scores (Mean of importance and effort items were between 4.07-4.48 on a 5-point scale), and program evaluation (Kirkpatrick Level 1) was satisfactory. Conclusion The present faculty development program conducted online focused on SDL providing educators with essential tools and strategies to foster SDL among medical students. The program encompassed various elements, including peer review, hands-on training sessions, and collaborative learning, aimed at enhancing faculty members' understanding of SDL principles and their practical implementation in medical curricula. The combination of intrinsic and extrinsic motivators, coupled with a well-designed faculty development program, contributed to the success of the initiative in promoting SDL in medical education.","PeriodicalId":519891,"journal":{"name":"The National medical journal of India","volume":"38 2","pages":"108-114"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144532571","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}

Methods This randomized, controlled study with pre- test and post-test design was conducted with the following groups: TB Intervention, TB control, contacted intervention and contacted control group, a total of 66 patients and 87 contacted people. The data of study were collected with 'Patient and Contact Question Form', Tuberculosis Adherence Determination Questionnaire (TADQ) and 'Morisky 8-Item Adherence to Drug Questionnaire' (MMAS-8). Results TADQ scores of the TB intervention group in the beginning, 1st, 3rd and 6th months were 80.4 (7.9), 117.8 (6.3), 137.7 (7.5), 143.2 (4.5), respectively, and TADQ scores of the TB control group in the beginning, 1st, 3rd and 6th months were 88.1 (7.1), 84.5 (9.8), 75.9 (7.9), 65.2 (9.2), respectively. MMAS-8 scores of the contacted intervention group in the beginning, 1st, 3rd and 6th months were 3.6 (1.3), 5.5 (0.7), 7.2 (0.8) and 7.7 (0.7), and those of the control group were 5.7 (1.4), 4.3 (1.4), 1.8 (1.5) and 0.7 (1.4), respectively. Conclusion As a result of 6 months of regular training, tele-monitoring and daily text message, adherence of the patients to TB treatment increased, and the adherence of the contacted people to the medication increased. Nurses should take an active role in the management of TB, determine the patients who do not use drugs correctly in the early period and apply the required interventions as soon as possible to improve treatment adherence of TB patients and contacts.","PeriodicalId":519891,"journal":{"name":"The National medical journal of India","volume":"38 2","pages":"69-77"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144532570","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}

E-procurement in the supply chain allows companies to use the internet to procure materials and handle value-added services. The Government of India, in the year 2016, introduced the government e-marketplace (GeM) for public sector procurement. Any new intervention faces challenges, and stakeholder feedback can help improve the system. Our study uses stakeholder satisfaction to assess the implementation of GeM compared to traditional/other purchase methods. Methods We undertook a prospective study in the procurement division of a tertiary care institute over 1 year. The study tool was a questionnaire containing 28 questions to analyse the stakeholders' satisfaction. Results Of the total participants in the study, 40.6% were secondary buyers, 37.5% were storekeepers and 21.9% were dealing hand/hospital purchase division clerks. The stakeholders opined ease in process, time bound and transparency as the parameters in which GeM is better than the conventional platform. Conclusion A public procurement process should ensure efficiency, economy and accountability in the system. Given the findings, the GeM platform is a welcome addition to the public procurement landscape. While the platform has definite advantages, there is a need to strengthen it further to meet the specific needs of the healthcare industry.","PeriodicalId":519891,"journal":{"name":"The National medical journal of India","volume":"38 2","pages":"115-118"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144532568","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}

Methods This cross-sectional study was done in different colleges of Mumbai. Two hundred and sixty students of both sexes aged between 18 and 25 years were selected by systematic random sampling. Participants had to fill a sociodemographic questionnaire and a self-administered questionnaire that was analysed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences software. Results About 11.2% of the participants were users of cannabis and around 15% of them expressed a desire to take cannabis in the future. About 72% users were introduced to cannabis by their friends. The most common reasons for consumption of cannabis were peer pressure (29.6%), followed by stress reduction (23.5%) and experimentation (21.9%). The majority of participants (81%) did not favour legalization of cannabis use. However, more than half the participants were unaware of cannabis-related legal issues. Non-users considered cannabis to be more harmful and addictive than users who held a more permissive view regarding effects of taking cannabis. Conclusion The knowledge regarding harmful and legal implications of cannabis is relatively low amongst college students. Peer pressure, stress reduction and experimentation remain the commonest reasons for consumption. Imparting knowledge in early adolescence remains crucial in mitigating ignorant attitudes towards harmful cannabis use.","PeriodicalId":519891,"journal":{"name":"The National medical journal of India","volume":"38 2","pages":"78-83"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144532563","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}

There is a paucity of longitudinal research on students' ATP and mental illness at different periods during medical school. We aimed to assess the attitudes of a cohort of medical undergraduates towards psychiatry and mental illness, before and after a clinical psychiatry rotation. Methods Medical students, in their second clinical year, underwent the first assessment on the 1st day of the psychiatry rotation. Socio-demographic information was collected. ATP and mental illness were assessed using the ATP-30 and the attitudes towards mental illness (AMI) scale, respectively. Assessments were repeated on the last day of the rotation and again 1 year later. Results One hundred and three medical students completed the pre- and immediate post-rotation survey questionnaire. One student withdrew consent for the 1-year assessment. There was an increase in ATP-30 and AMI scores after the rotation, and this persisted at the 1-year assessment. However, only the increase in ATP-30 scores was statistically significant. There was a significant reduction in the number of students with an overall negative attitude towards psychiatry and mental illness at 1 year. Conclusion Students generally had positive attitudes towards psychiatry and mental illness before the rotation. This improved further by the end of the rotation and persisted at 1 year of follow-up.","PeriodicalId":519891,"journal":{"name":"The National medical journal of India","volume":"38 2","pages":"84-91"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144532552","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}
