ABSTRACT
IntroductionWith the increasing number of Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) cases there is simultaneous increase in recovered cases too. There are many post-covid complications where need for rehabilitation intervention is very conspicuous especially pulmonary, neurological complications. Hence data are of utmost importance to find out those rehabilitation needs among post-covid survivors. Methods and analysisReCOVer (Rehabilitation Need in Post-discharge COVID-19 Survivors), a cross-sectional observational study protocol has been planned to find out rehab-need by assessing International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) core data set, COVID-19 Yorkshire Rehab Screen (C19-YRS) tool, The Post-COVID-19 Functional Status (PCFS) scale, barriers to functional independence and rehab services (affordability & availability). Post-discharge (minimum 1 weeks) Covid patients (required hospitalisation) will be included in the study. Study will be conducted through Telerehabilitation facility. Study will conform to the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) guidelines. Ethics and disseminationStudy received ethical approval from Institute Ethics Committee, All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi, India. Findings will be disseminated at scientific conferences/meetings, peer-reviewed journals, and to relevant stakeholders including the ministry of health (if required).
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To develop a web-based educational resource for health professionals responsible for the management of spinal cord injury (SCI). The resource:www.elearnSCI.org is comprised of seven learning modules, each subdivided into various submodules. Six of the seven modules address the educational needs of all disciplines involved in comprehensive SCI management. The seventh module addresses prevention of SCI. Each submodule includes an overview, activities, self-assessment questions and references. DEVELOPMENT OF THE RESOURCE: Three hundred and thirty-two experts from The International Spinal Cord Society (ISCoS) and various affiliated societies from 36 countries were involved in developing the resource through 28 subcommittees. The content of each submodule was reviewed and approved by the Education and Scientific Committees of ISCoS and finally by an Editorial Committee of 23 experts. KEY FEATURES: The content of the learning modules is relevant to students and to new as well as experienced SCI healthcare professionals. The content is applicable globally, has received consumer input and is available at no cost. The material is presented on a website underpinned by a sophisticated content-management system, which allows easy maintenance and ready update of all the content. The resource conforms to key principles of e-learning, including appropriateness of curriculum, engagement of learners, innovative approaches, effective learning, ease of use, inclusion, assessment, coherence, consistency, transparency, cost effectiveness and feedback. CONCLUSION: www.elearnSCI.org provides a cost effective way of training healthcare professionals that goes beyond the textbook and traditional face-to-face teaching.
