Effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on cataract surgery by residents who had routine surgical simulator training during residency

ABSTRACT Purpose: To assess the effect of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on cataract surgery by residents who had mandatory surgical simulator training during residency. Methods: In this retrospective, observational analytical study, the total number of cataract surgeries and surgical complications by all senior residents of 2019 (2019 class; prepandemic) and 2020 (2020 class; affected by the reduced number of elective surgeries due to the COVID-19 pandemic) were collected and compared. All residents had routine mandatory cataract surgery training on a virtual surgical simulator during residency. The total score obtained by these residents on cataract challenges of the surgical simulator was also evaluated. Results: The 2020 and 2019 classes performed 1275 and 2561 cataract surgeries, respectively. This revealed a reduction of 50.2% in the total number of procedures performed by the 2020 class because of the pandemic. The incidence of surgical complications was not statistically different between the two groups (4.2% in the 2019 class and 4.9% in the 2020 class; p=0.314). Both groups also did not differ in their mean scores on the simulator's cataract challenges (p<0.696). Conclusion: Despite the reduction of 50.2% in the total number of cataract surgeries performed by senior residents of 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, the incidence of surgical complications did not increase. This suggests that surgical simulator training during residency mitigated the negative effects of the reduced surgical volume during the pandemic.

Breaking bad news in ophthalmology: a literature review / Comunicação de más notícias em oftalmologia: uma revisão de literatura

ABSTRACT Medical specialties have recognized that breaking bad news assists clinical practice by mitigating the impact of difficult conversations. This scenario also encourages various studies on breaking bad news in ophthalmology since certain ocular diagnoses can be considered bad news. Thus, the objective is to review the scientific literature on breaking bad news in ophthalmology. The literature databases like MEDLINE/PUBMED, EMBASE, LILACS, SCOPUS, COCHRANE, and SCIELO, were screened for related research publications. Two independent reviewers read all the articles and short-listed the most relevant ones. Seven articles, in the formats of original article, review, editorial, oral communication, and correspondence, were reviewed. Conclusively it reveals that ophthalmologists are concerned with communicating bad news effectively but lack related studies. Nevertheless, there is a growing realization that training in breaking bad news can increase physicians' confidence during communication, thus, benefiting the therapeutic relationship with the patient and his family. Therefore, it would be valuable to include breaking bad news training in the curriculum of residencies.

Impacto de la COVID-19 en la práctica clínica de la fonoaudiologia en Colombia

Introducción: Son pocos los estudios que describen cómo la pandemia por COVID-19 ha afectado las prácticas clínicas de los profesionales en fonoaudiología, y es aún más escaso el conocimiento de este impacto en países latinoamericanos, como Colombia. Objetivo: Describir el impacto de la pandemia por COVID-19 sobre el ejercicio de la fonoaudiología clínica, así como las adaptaciones implementadas para garantizar la atención de salud en Colombia. Materiales y métodos: Estudio de corte transversal en el que se aplicó un cuestionario online entre enero y febrero de 2021 a fonoaudiólogos clínicos con experiencia en el área. El cuestionario indagó sobre variables sociodemográficas y categorías como el ejercicio profesional clínico y el impacto del COVID-19 en la práctica clínica fonoaudiológica. Los resultados se analizaron descriptivamente y se aplicó Chi2 de independencia para encontrar posibles asociaciones. Resultados: El 9 % de los profesionales perdió su trabajo debido a la pandemia, y del total restante, el 14 % optó por la telesalud. Existen restricciones de intervención, principalmente en la atención deglutoria y de habla, así como adaptaciones que buscan proteger la salud del paciente y el profesional. Se evidencia que el entrenamiento en atención con pacientes con COVID-19 promueve el uso de elementos de protección personal (p < 0,01), la construcción de protocolos de atención institucional (p < 0,01) y la estabilidad de tiempos de intervención durante las sesiones (p < 0,04). Conclusiones: la pandemia por COVID-19 impactó la práctica clínica fonoaudiológica y modificó el actuar de los profesionales no sólo por la adopción de medidas de bioseguridad sino por la transición a la teleconsulta para garantizar la atención en salud.

Introduction: Few studies have described how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the clinical practices of speech and language therapists, and the knowledge of this impact in Latin American countries, such as Colombia, is even scarcer. The aim of the present study was to describe the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the clinical practice of speech and language therapy, as well as the adaptations implemented to guarantee health care in Colombia. Materials and methods: Cross-sectional study, in which an online questionnaire was applied between January and February 2021 to speech and language therapists with experience in the clinical area. The instrument inquired about sociodemographic variables and categories such as clinical professional practice and the impact of COVID-19 on clinical speech and language therapy practice. The results were analyzed descriptively and chi-square for independence was applied to find associations. Results: Nine percent of the professionals lost their jobs due to the pandemic, and of the remaining total, 14% opted for telehealth. There are intervention restrictions, in swallowing and speech care, as well as adaptations that seek to protect the health of the patient and the professional. It is evidenced that training in care with patients with COVID-19 promotes the use of personal protection elements (p<0.01), the construction of institutional care protocols (p<0.01) and the stability of intervention times during the sessions (p<0.04). Conclusions: The COVID-19 pandemic impacted clinical Speech and Language Therapy practice and changed the actions of professionals, not only by adopting biosecurity measures, but also by the transition to telehealth to guarantee health care.

Chile is a culturally diverse country, and this population must face difficulties related to health. This essay aims to reflect on intercultural competencies from an intercultural ethical approach, in the initial training of professionals in health sciences. The initial training in health sciences shows that health is lacking and decontextualized from the cultural reality. In order to evolve in this area, it is imperative to train professionals in intercultural competencies from an intercultural ethical approach. This will contribute to the recognition and understanding of otherness from their own culture, based on the relationship and exchange of experiences, knowledge, wisdom, among others. This requires intercultural dialogue between professionals and experts belonging to different health systems, in order to co-construct from health and disease. This will allow a timely and adequate response to health demands. It will also provide quality and dignified health care and attention. In effect, it will mitigate inequalities and injustices, while providing a fuller life to people living in a culturally diverse society.

Evaluación de residentes de pediatría con una modalidad virtual durante la pandemia COVID 19: presentación de una experiencia / Using a virtual mode for the pediatric residents evaluation during the COVID 19 pandemic: report of an experience

El examen clínico objetivo estructurado (ECOE) es una herramienta válida para medir competencias clínicas. En el contexto de la pandemia por COVID-19 se debieron adaptar las evaluaciones, habitualmente presenciales, a un formato virtual. El objetivo de este artículo es comunicar la experiencia de utilizar una modalidad virtual del ECOE para residentes de primer año de pediatría durante la pandemia por COVID-19. El ECOE comprendió 12 estaciones utilizando casos simulados en línea y consultas virtuales a distancia. Participaron del ECOE 115 residentes, aprobaron 110 (95,7%) y solo 17 participantes aprobaron el 100% de las estaciones. Las estaciones con mejor rendimiento fueron las referidas a alimentación complementaria, abordaje del traumatismo encéfalo craneano, interpretación de resultados de laboratorio y de imágenes radiológicas. El menor rendimiento se observó en uso de equipo de protección personal y vacunas. La encuesta de satisfacción fue respondida por 80/115 participantes (69,5%). El 91% de los participantes encontró fácil de utilizar la plataforma virtual. La mayoría (73/80) consideró que los temas fueron acordes al nivel de formación. La estación de pautas madurativas fue identificada como la más difícil. El 57% refirió que el ECOE les resultó útil para identificar puntos débiles en su formación. La implementación de una modalidad virtual del ECOE fue posible y presentó buena aceptación de los participantes.

The objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) is a helpful tool for assessing clinical competencies. During the COVID-19 pandemic, assessments usually carried out in person had to be adapted to a virtual format. We aim to report our experience using a virtual OSCE administered to first-year pediatric residents during the COVID-19 pandemic. The OSCE included 12 stations, including online simulated cases and virtual remote consultations. In total 115 residents participated in the OSCE; 110 (95.7%) passed the test, but only 17 participants passed all stations. The stations with the highest performance were related to complementary feeding, management of traumatic head injury, interpretation of lab test results and imaging. The lowest performance was observed using personal protective equipment and checking vaccine schedules. The user satisfaction survey was completed by 80 out of 115 participants (69.5%); 91 % of the participants found the virtual platform easy to use. Most of the residents (73/80) considered the topics to be appropriate for their training level. The station related to child development guidelines was identified as the most challenging. 57% reported that the OSCE was helpful for identifying weaknesses in their training. Conclusion: the implementation of a virtual OSCE was feasible and it was well accepted by the participants.
