Introduction: Medical practice involves routinely making critical decisions regarding patient care and management. Many factors influence the decision-making process, and self-confidence has been found to be an important factor in effective decision-making. With the proper transfer of knowledge during their undergraduate studies, selfconfidence levels can be improved. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the use of High Fidelity Simulation as a component of medical education to improve the confidence levels of medical undergraduates during emergencies. Methodology: Study participants included a total of 60 final year medical undergraduates during their rotation in Medical Senior Posting. They participated in a simulation exercise using a high fidelity simulator, and their confidence level measured using a self-administered questionnaire. Results: The results found that the confidence levels of ‘Assessment of an Emergency Patient’, ‘Diagnosing Arrhythmias’, ‘Emergency Airway Management’, ‘Performing Cardio-pulmonary Resuscitation’, ‘Using the Defibrillator’ and ‘Using Emergency Drugs’ showed a statistically significant increase in confidence levels after the simulation exercise. The mean confidence levels also rose from 2.85 to 3.83 (p<0.05). Conclusion: We recommend further use of High Fidelity Simulation in medical education to improve the confidence levels of medical undergraduates.

Numerous health issues can arise from improper domestic waste management. Uncollected wastes provide food and breeding sites for insect, bird and rodent which can expose the community to vector borne disease. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the community awareness towards domestic waste management. This study is a cross-sectional study conducted at Bandar Baru Sungai Buloh, Selangor, Malaysia. The questionnaire consists of five sections with a total of 57 questions. The questionnaire consists of four parts: Socio-demographic, knowledge, attitude and practice. The data were analysed using SPSS version 22.0. T-test, ANOVA test, Chi-squared test were used according to the type of variables and significance level will be taken at 95% or p-value of less than 0.05. A total of 355 respondents participated in this study. The mean age was 40.52 ±14.94. The majority of them were male (52.1%), Malay (71.0%), married (71.3%), with secondary educational (81%) and employed (41.1%). The majority of respondents mentioned that inappropriate waste management can cause dengue fever and leptospirosis (98.0%, 97.2%; respectively). Property type, education, occupation, ethnicity, religions and household income were significant influenced the knowledge of the participants towards domestic waste management. For attitude, gender, education, ethnicity, religion and income significantly influenced the attitude of the participants towards domestic waste management. For practice, ethnicity, religion and occupation were significantly influenced the practice of the participants towards domestic waste management. In conclusion, the community has moderate awareness of domestic waste management. Awareness of waste management should also be taught in school so that the next generation of people will have a better understanding and eventually have better practice in domestic waste management. It is also hoped that a carefully thought-out strategy can be developed to further improve the community awareness towards domestic waste management which will shed a new light on tackling this issue.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of perceptions of patient rounding, self-leadership and nursing organization culture on intentional rounding performance.METHODS: The participants for this study were 210 nurses who had the experience of patient rounding care in general hospitals in B and Y cities. Data were collected from February 5th to 22nd, 2018. Collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, χ² test, and independent t-test. Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify factors influencing intentional rounding performance.RESULTS: It was found that intentional rounding performance was carried out by 20.0% of the day shift nurses, 18.1% of the evening shift nurses, and 19.5% of the night shift nurses. The significant factors influencing intentional rounding performance were the recommended rounding time interval in wards and the use of rounding protocol in the wards (p < .050).CONCLUSION: It is expected that nurses will be able to provide more advanced and efficient patient rounding by promising a systematic patient rounding time for intentional rounding and developing appropriate protocols for each ward.

The committee of admitted doctors developed a questionnaire regarding medical dispute and distributed it to 1,600 members of Korean Academy of Orthodontics. The questionnaire consisted of three categories and 56 items covering basic information about the doctors and patients who had experienced medical disputes, the cause and workaround of medical accidents, and methods for taking precautions. The present survey showed a similar proportion of responders who had experienced a medical accident compared to the study in 1997. The primary reason for medical disputes was dissatisfaction with appearance. Many doctors felt that they would likely experience a medical dispute at some point. Most disputes were settled by doctors themselves, usually for an amount of less than 5 million Korean won. For some doctors, medical accidents lead to ongoing psychological problems. Responders felt that continuing education for medical dispute is very necessary. These results reveal a need for the association of orthodontists to lead advancements in education and countermeasures for preventing and managing medical accidents and disputes.
