In today’s rapidly changing and technology-driven world, the ability to think creatively is essential for individuals and organizations. To date, technology-based training has become a new trend for learning and training in the 21st century; however, little empirical research has been conducted to enhance creativity through online training. In the current study, we developed and examined an online creativity training program, which employed a comprehensive training approach and consisted of twenty self-instructional exercises delivered throughout five weeks. The effectiveness of the training was examined by means of a pre-posttest between-subjects design with two control groups (i.e., a creativity-unrelated online memory training; no-training). Four well-validated tasks tapping onto divergent and convergent thinking were used to measure participants’ creativity. Upon following the online creativity training, participants’ performance tended to significantly improve on several indices of divergent thinking (e.g., fluency, flexibility, originality). For the two control groups, no difference in divergent thinking was observed between the pretest and posttest. Besides, no training effects were observed on convergent thinking. The current findings increase our understanding of enhancing creativity through online training and provide a new comprehensive training approach, which may contribute to the enhancement of creativity in educational and organizational settings.

Background Advancements in information technology, have made hospital information systems (HIS) essential tools for clinical nursing. The integration of HIS into undergraduate nursing education is a growing expectation within healthcare institutions. To meet this demand, nursing educators have promoted the incorporation of HIS into curricula to foster educational innovation. In response, our research team developed the Nursing Simulation Teaching Information System (NSTIS) to facilitate nursing operations related to HIS. We designed a comprehensive training course for senior students to prepare them for clinical rotations, with case simulations as a central component. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of NSTIS in the training course and refine both the system and teaching scheme based on student feedback. Methods A total of 114 nursing students were assigned to either the experimental ( n  = 55) or the control group ( n  = 59), with only 114 students completing the intervention. Both groups worked on the same simulation case. The experimental group used the NSTIS to obtain complete medical records, whereas the control group used traditional Microsoft Word documents and printed materials. With informed consent from the participants, data were collected using a self-designed classroom teaching effect questionnaire and a case workshop scoring form. Results The experimental group scored higher than the control group on the total scores of the self-designed teaching effect questionnaire, with significant differences observed in specific items related to teaching objective achievement and learning outcomes. Qualitative data indicated that the experimental group reported acquiring skills in HIS operation. Both groups recommended adjustments to the teaching structure to enrich the case study resources, while the control group expressed a desire for measures to enhance their learning motivation. Conclusion Integrating NSTIS into a comprehensive training course can help enhance the effectiveness of case simulations. Further improvements to the NSTIS and teaching strategies are necessary for effective teaching. Future research should explore whether the application of the NSTIS in comprehensive training courses can improve students’ abilities and investigate how to integrate the NSTIS into other courses.

Background The study aims to conduct a comparative analysis of traditional and integrated approaches to radiology teaching in order to evaluate the effectiveness of novel educational methods. Methods The study was conducted in Shenzhen, China, between January and December 2023. It involved 100 radiology residents who were randomly assigned to either a traditional training (TT) group or an integrated training (IT) group. The average age of participants was 28 years. Results The TT group received conventional lectures and practical training, while the IT group used simulation software, interactive platforms, and artificial intelligence (AI) tools. The analysis revealed that the mean score of the IT group in the theoretical knowledge test was 170.3 ± 15.1, which is significantly higher than that of the TT group (155.7 ± 20.4; t = 4.21, p  < 0.001). In the practical skills test, the IT group scored 160.7 ± 22.4, while the TT group scored 135.8 ± 25.6 (t = 5.13, p  < 0.001). Conclusions The findings of the study indicate a significant advantage of an integrated approach to radiology teaching over conventional methods. The integration of modern technologies into the learning process has been shown to enhance both short- and long-term educational outcomes in medical education. This finding is of practical significance for educational institutions in this field. It is recommended that integrated teaching methods be introduced in order to improve the quality of specialist training. Clinical trial number Not applicable

With the development of computer and the continuous development of science and technology, people are now in the era of rapid development of information. The arrival of the \"Internet\" era has a certain impact on the current education model. Traditional teaching concepts and modes can no longer meet the needs of current social development. Under the background of \"Internet\", the comprehensive training courses of accounting in higher vocational colleges should be continuously optimized and improved. In the course of the implementation of the comprehensive accounting training course, the main role of students is brought into full play, students' interest in learning in the teaching process is stimulated, students' practical operation ability is greatly improved, and problems in future work can be solved better based on computer-aided technology by using existing knowledge.

University Social Responsibility (USR) programs are closely linked to comprehensive student education, as they integrate academic learning with ethical, social, and civic development; these programs not only strengthen students' technical knowledge, but also promote values such as solidarity, commitment, and empathy by involving them in community actions and projects oriented to the common good; This study sought to establish the degree of connection between USR and comprehensive university education. A basic type study with a quantitative approach and correlational level, the survey technique and the instrument were used, the questionnaire called University Social Responsibility and Comprehensive Student Education. The population consisted of 221 students from the Faculty of Engineering of a public university in the department of Junín - Peru , the inclusion criterion being enrolled in the 2025-I academic period. The data were processed through structural equations (SEM); Within the results, we can see a Spearman Rho correlation coefficient of 0.831 with a significance level of 0.001, which demonstrates a positive and strong association between the variables studied. Furthermore, the general hypothesis of a significant relationship between University Social Responsibility and the comprehensive development of students is validated.

This study evaluates the effects of general fatiguing exercises on anticipatory postural adjustments (APAs), compensatory postural adjustments (CPAs), and standing stability between 18 individuals with comprehensive training experience (TR) and 18 untrained individuals (UT). Assessments were conducted before and after a 20-min fatiguing exercise using surface electromyography and a force platform during self-initiated perturbation and postural stability tests. Key findings include that, irrespective of fatigue, the APAs onsets in the TrA/IO (p = 0.004), LMF (PRE p = 0.003, POST p < 0.001), and ST (PRE p = 0.001, POST p = 0.006) muscles activated earlier in the TR group than in the UT group. Additionally, the APA co-contraction indices of the TrA/IO-LMF (PRE p = 0.011, POST p = 0.029), TrA/IO-ST (p = 0.014), and LMF-ST (PRE p = 0.002, POST p = 0.005) muscle pairs were higher in the TR group. After fatigue, the UT group significantly increased CPA co-contraction indices for the TrA/IO-LMF (p = 0.035) and LMF-ST (p = 0.005) muscle pairs. This research highlights the importance of comprehensive training in facilitating feedforward control strategies, particularly for individuals facing challenging postural conditions, such as fatigue or disturbances.

Purpose This study examines the influence of developer experience between human resource management (HRM) practices and innovation in software (S/W) engineering. This study uses motivation theory and investigates how HRM practices influence the innovative behaviors of S/W developers by using a mediator of affective developer experience. Design/methodology/approach For this, this study used a survey of S/W developers working in Korea. Out of 431 responses collected from 35 companies, 352 responses from 34 companies were usable for analysis and takes structural equation modeling. Findings The results show that developmental appraisal, externally or internally equitable reward and comprehensive training increase their affective developer experience affecting innovative behaviors positively in turn. However, selective staffing has no effect. Originality/value The results show that S/W developers pursue individual growth rather than success in their organizations. The findings show the context of S/W engineering in Korea and provide universalistic perspective when top managers motivate their S/W engineers by HRM system.

Community-based medical education (CBME) offers vital support to healthcare professionals in aging societies, which need medical trainees who understand comprehensive care. In teaching comprehensive care practices, CBME can involve citizens from the relevant community. This research synthesizes the impact of the involvement of communities on the learning of medical trainees in CBME. We conducted a systematic review, in which we searched ten databases from April 1990 to August 2020 for original articles in Japan regarding CBME involving citizens and descriptively analyzed them. The Kirkpatrick model was used to categorize the outcomes. Our search for studies following the protocol returned 1240 results; 21 articles were included in this systematic review. Medical trainees reported satisfaction with the content, teaching processes, and teachers’ qualities. Medical trainees’ attitudes toward community and rural medicine improved; they were motivated to become family physicians and work in communities and remote areas. This review clarified that citizen involvement in CBME had an effective impact on medical trainees, positively affecting perceptions of this type of education, as well as improving trainees’ knowledge about and attitude toward community and rural medicine.

Objective: Exploring the efficacy of comprehensive rehabilitation training (CRT) for elderly patients with lower limb fractures (LLF) after surgery. Methods: This is a single center retrospective cohort study included clinical data of 120 elderly patients with LLF who underwent surgical treatment at Dongguan Chang’an Hospital from February 2021 to August 2023. Of them, 58 patients received routine rehabilitation training (control group) and 62 patients received CRT (observation group). Range of motion of lower limb joints, activities of daily living (ADLs), pain intensity, and incidence of complications were compared between the two groups. Results: After surgery, curvature, straightness, and degree of flexion and extension of the lower limb joints in both groups significantly increased, and was significantly greater in the observation group (P<0.05). Modified Barthel Index (MBI) scores of both groups significantly increased after surgery, and was significantly higher in the observation group (P<0.05). Post-surgery visual analog scale (VAS) scores of both groups significantly decreased, and were significantly lower in the observation group (P<0.05). The incidence of complications was significantly lower in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusions: Implementing CRT for elderly patients with LLF can increase the range of motion of the lower limb joints, improve ADLs, alleviate pain levels, and reduce the risk of complications. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.41.7.12125 How to cite this: Zhong Y, Liu H, Li A.
