Evaluating ChatGPT-4's historical accuracy: a case study on the origins of SWOT analysis.

In this study we test ChatGPT-4's ability to provide accurate information about the origins and evolution of SWOT analysis, perhaps the most widely used strategy tool in practice worldwide. ChatGPT-4 is tested for historical accuracy and hallucinations. The API is prompted using a Python script with a series of structured questions from an Excel file and the results are recorded in another Excel file and rated on a binary scale. Our findings present a nuanced view of ChatGPT-4's capabilities. We observe that while ChatGPT-4 demonstrates a high level of proficiency in describing and outlining the general concept of SWOT analysis, there are notable discrepancies when it comes to detailing its origins and evolution. These inaccuracies range from minor factual errors to more serious hallucinations that deviate from evidence in scholarly publications. However, we also find that ChatGPT-4 comes up with spontaneous historically accurate facts. Our interpretation of the result is that ChatGPT is largely trained on easily available websites and to a very limited extent has been trained on scholarly publications on SWOT analysis, especially when these are behind a paywall. We conclude with four propositions for future research.

Application of PRI-E-a combined learning method in oral and maxillofacial oncology education.

The traditional lecture-based learning (LBL) method is facing great challenges due to its low efficiency and single proceeding form. We designed a PRI-E learning mode that combined and modified problem-based, case-based, and evidence-based learning with a step-by-step approach. We evaluated the practical learning outcomes of using the PRI-E mode by comparing it with traditional lecture-based learning in oral and maxillofacial oncology education. "PRI-E" consists of the first letters of the English words Passion, Research, Innovation, and Education, and it means "the best Education". This prospective randomized controlled trial included 40 participants. We evenly divided the participants into the PRI-E (n = 20) and LBL group (n = 20) based on the entrance test scores. The same staff group designed and then taught the learning content with different group measures. The evaluation included the final test scores and questionnaire assessments. Without affecting the examination results, the PRI-E teaching method was more satisfactory and popular with participants in terms of ability development and classroom participation. Enacting the PRI-E teaching method required more time, but this did not affect its popularity among the participants. Compared with the LBL learning mode, the PRI-E learning mode was more organized and efficient in oral and maxillofacial oncology education without affecting academic performance. This model has a high degree of satisfaction, which is conducive to training students' comprehensive ability.

Evaluating strategies for developing renewable energies considering economic, social, and environmental aspects: a case study.

Due to fast industrial expansion and the increasing population in Vietnam, this country is confronting a mounting lack of energy. While this country has considerable renewable energy (RE) potentials, including wind, solar, biomass, and hydropower sources, it has yet to exploit them entirely because of a lack of proper planning. This research aimed to find and assess solutions for encouraging RE growth in Vietnam. RE development solutions were formulated through SWOT analysis and evaluated in terms of their social, economic, and environmental dimensions. The SWARA approach weighed the strategy evaluation criteria. The most influential sub-criteria were initial investment cost, reduction of adverse environmental impacts, and natural capacity of the region, with weights of 0.155, 0.127, and 0.114, respectively. Strategy evaluation was performed using the Gray ARAS, and the results were validated with the Gray COPRAS, the Gray TOPSIS-G, and the Gray MABAC. In the strategy ranking, the top strategy is to reduce the cost of renewable power generation. This can be achieved by using advanced technologies and promoting cooperation between domestic and foreign industries and companies. Increasing domestic and foreign investment in RE infrastructure by providing financial facilities for investors, developing domestic and international cooperation, and creating a competitive environment between different companies to reduce electricity production costs were the most suitable strategies.

Identifying Gaps in Pelvic Pain Education: A Scoping Review and Structured Analysis of Obstetrics and Gynecology Training Milestones.

OBJECTIVE: Several clinical practice guidelines on the evaluation and management (EM) of chronic pelvic pain (CPP) have been published; however, it is not known whether obstetrics and gynecology (OBGYN) educational milestones are aligned with current practice recommendations. Therefore, this scoping review and structured analysis aims to identify gaps between clinical guidelines for the EM of CPP and OBGYN training milestones published by educational authorities like the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) and the AAGL. DATA SOURCES: The literature search was performed in MEDLINE, PubMed Central, and Bookshelf on the PubMed interface from January 2018 to September 2022. Peer-reviewed publications were included if they were a systematic review of recent practice guidelines and focused on female CPP. Publications that focused on a single pelvic pain condition or focused on a specific treatment were excluded. METHODS OF STUDY SELECTION: Two reviewers extracted the data and appraised the study quality following the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme Checklist for systematic reviews. Four articles met inclusion criteria for thematic analysis. A reflexive thematic analysis via the inductive approach was performed to develop clinical themes common to all review articles and presumed important in the EM of CPP. Pelvic pain experts and Delphi methodology was used to assess validity and relevance of each theme in OBGYN training. Validated themes were used in a strengths weaknesses opportunities threats (SWOT) analysis of the ACGME and the AAGL Milestones used for training OBGYN residents and fellows. A SWOT analysis is an organizational tool used to analyze processes in terms of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities for improvement, and threats to implementing a potential change. TABULATION, INTEGRATION, AND RESULTS: Twelve clinical themes were conceptualized and achieved ≥ 90% consensus as being important in the EM of CPP. Clinical themes pertained to pathophysiology, biopsychosocial approach, trauma-informed care, history and physical examination, diagnostic testing, multimodal/multidisciplinary management, pain education, and medical and surgical management. SWOT analysis showed that the ACGME Milestones lacked milestones specific to CPP, while the AAGL Milestones had 6 CPP-focused competencies with multiple milestones. Milestones on trauma-informed care and application of biopsychosocial assessment were notably absent. CONCLUSION: OBGYN educational milestones published by the ACGME and the AAGL are not yet aligned with current clinical guidelines for the EM of CPP.

Exploring the COVID-19 Landscape and Our Path Forward Using a Formalized SWOT Analysis.

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to share the results of a formalized SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) analysis focusing on perceptions and the long-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS: The study used a parallel mixed-methods approach. This included a quantitative component, which used presurvey descriptive data, and a qualitative component, which involved SWOT analysis via focus groups. Participants were recruited via email. Volunteers responded to survey questions regarding the COVID-19 pandemic. Ten focus groups were created and conducted in February 2022. Responses were transcribed and coded by 2 independent investigators and a third to resolve disagreement. Group consensus determined the themes. RESULTS: On the survey (n = 55), over half of respondents noted lack of motivation and attention deficit emerging during the pandemic. However, less than half felt that they had access to appropriate support/services. Regarding mental health, some reported increased anxiety, loneliness, depression, and sleep disorders, yet a small percentage of respondents felt that they were provided with support to mitigate these issues. Focus group sessions resulted in 404 statements, which determined the following 8 themes: communication, pivoting the learning and assessment process, COVID-19 safety, interpersonal relationships, health and wellness, finances, student services, and competition in the job market. The top strength was in pivoting the learning process, top weakness was in university communications, and the top opportunities and threats were in pivoting to virtual learning. CONCLUSION: As the country continues to experience COVID-19 waves, it is important to reflect on and understand the effects of the previous reactions, and explore ways to increase and sustain motivation, limit lasting negative effects, and remain proactive and prepared for the future.

Comparison of high and low stunting reduction groups using IFE-EFE matrix analysis in Central Java Province, Indonesia.

Background: The results of the 2021 Indonesian Nutritional Status Study (Studi Status Gizi Indonesia, SSGI) showed a 6.8% declining prevalence of stunting in Central Java from 2019 to 2021. However, the prevalence decreases in the regency level of Central Java varied from 0.1 to 20.3%. This study aimed to analyze the external and internal factors that influenced the stunting reduction prevalence in Central Java Province, Indonesia. Methods: This qualitative study was conducted over 2 months, from April to May 2022. In-depth interviews were used to explore the supporting factors (external, internal, and strategies) and the challenges (internal, external, and solutions) in implementing stunting reduction acceleration programs. The supporting factors and challenges were compared between the groups with high Gro, Sra, Kla, and Pek (GSKP) and low Sur, Mag, Teg, and Pat (SMTP) reduction prevalence. Data were analyzed using internal factor evaluation (IFE) and external factor evaluation (EFE). Results: In quadrant II, the high-reduction group (GSKP) had IFE and EFE scores of 2.61 and 2.76, respectively. In quadrant IV, the low-reduction group (SMTP) had IFE and EFE scores of 1.86 and 1.62, respectively. The high-reduction group (GSKP) was better than the low-reduction group (SMTP) in using external opportunities and internal strengths by avoiding external threats and minimizing the weakness in the stunting reduction acceleration program in each area. The existence of superior programs and innovations were the strengths that differentiated the high and low groups. Conversely, the low-stunting reduction group struggled to overcome major challenges, especially lacking leadership capacity. From the outside, lack of program sustainability at the village level and budget restraint were the threats found in both groups. Conclusion: Compared with the low-stunting reduction group, the high group could maximize their strengths and use the opportunities to implement stunting reduction programs.

First insights into multidisciplinary and multispecialty long COVID networks-a SWOT analysis from the perspective of ambulatory health care professionals.

Introduction: Multidisciplinary and multispecialty approaches with central integration of primary care, individualized long-term rehabilitative care, and multidisciplinary care pathways are recommended by international consortia to face the challenges of care of long COVID. Two regional long COVID networks-Rhein-Neckar (RN) and Ludwigsburg (LU) have emerged as ad hoc examples of best practice in Southern Germany. The aim of the community case study is to provide first insights into the experiences of the networks. Methods: The exploratory observational study was conducted between April and June 2023, focusing on an observation period of just under 24 months and using a document analysis supported by MAXQDA and SWOT analysis with ambulatory health care professionals in two online group discussions. Results: The document analysis revealed that both networks have defined network participants who have agreed on common goals and patient pathways and have established ways of communicating, organizing, and collaborating. Both networks agreed on a primary care-based, multidisciplinary and multispecialty approach. The main differences in realization emerged in LU as a focus on the ambulatory setting and very concrete application to individual patients, while RN showed a focus on an intersectoral character with participation of the specialized university hospital sector, knowledge transfer and a supra-regional approach with the involvement of the meso and macro level. The SWOT analysis (n = 14 participants, n = 6 male, 7 physicians (4 disciplines), 7 therapists (5 professions)) showed strengths such as resulting collaboration, contribution to knowledge transfer, and improvement of care for individual patients. As barriers, e.g., lack of reimbursement, high efforts of care, and persistent motivation gaps became apparent. Potentials mentioned were, e.g., transferability to other diseases such as Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, promotion of addressing a "difficult topic" and promotion of intersectoral care concepts; risks mentioned were, e.g., limited network resources and negative effects on the development of other structures. Conclusion: Resulting implications for practice and research address a call to policy makers and funders to support further research to find out what generalizable results regarding usefulness, effectiveness, and efficiency including transferability to other post-infectious diseases can be derived.

Teleconsultations for mental health: Recommendations from a Delphi panel.

Introduction: The use of teleconsultations for mental health has drastically increased since 2020 due to the Covid19 pandemic. In the present paper, we aimed to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of teleconsultations for mental health compared to face-to-face consultations, and to provide recommendations in this domain. Methods: The recommendations were gathered using a Delphi methodology. The expert panel (N = 21) included professionals from the health and ICT domains. They answered questions via two rounds of web surveys, and then discussed the results in a plenary meeting. Some of the questions were also shared with non-experts (N = 104). Results: Both the experts and the non-experts with teleconsultation experience reported a general satisfaction concerning teleconsultations. A SWOT analysis revealed several strengths and opportunities of teleconsultations for mental health, but also several weaknesses and threats. The experts provided a set of practical recommendations for the preparation and organization of teleconsultations for mental health. Discussion: Teleconsultations for mental health have the potential to allow access to care for patients in remote and isolated areas. Thus, their use will unlikely be discontinued after the end of the pandemic. In this context, we suggest that the collaboration among clinicians, researchers, and interface designers is crucial to improve usability and user experience for both clinicians and patients. The importance of teaching teleconsultation skills and informing the public on the features of teleconsultations (e.g., data privacy/security) is also highlighted.
