“…We cast the net wide when recruiting participants, targeting medical students in the Gleitsman Scholars program [ 26 ], members of University of Pittsburgh TL1 and T32 programs, scholars and alumni of our Leading Emerging and Diverse Scientists to Success program [ 27 ], newly hired faculty members at the University of Pittsburgh, and TL1 and KL2 scholars from our as well as other CTSA hubs. In total, we reached out to ≈425 potential participants.…”

Introduction: High writing self-efficacy and self-regulation are tied to publication and grant submission. Writers with these attributes are more productive. We investigated whether participating in a Shut Up & Write!®-style intervention (SUAW) would produce statistically significant gains in writing self-efficacy and self-regulation when comparing pre-post-participation surveys. Methods: Forty-seven medical students, TL1/KL2, and early-career faculty from across the USA expressed interest in participating, with 37 completing the pre-survey. We conducted (on Zoom) a 12-week SUAW series and measured the effect using a pre-post survey adapted from the Writer Self-Perception Scale. Paired t-tests (α = 0.05) were conducted on three subscales to test for significant differences between pre- and post-test means. The subscales reflected writing attitudes, writing strategies, and avoiding writing distractions. Subscales showed acceptable internal consistency with Cronbach’s alphas of 0.80, 0.71, and 0.72, respectively. Results: Twenty-seven participants attended at least one session. Of these, 81% presented as female, and 60% were from NIH-defined Underrepresented Backgrounds and/or were from Minority-Serving Institutions. Twenty-four completed both the pre- and post-surveys. Sixty percent previously participated in an activity similar to SUAW. We found significant improvements in writing attitudes (p = 0.020) and writing strategies (p = 0.041) for those who previously participated. For those who had not previously participated, we found improved writing strategies (p = 0.002). Eighty percent were very satisfied/satisfied with SUAW. Discussion: Researchers have tied writing self-efficacy and self-regulation to timely publication and grant submission. We found significant gains in self-efficacy and self-regulation, suggesting that participation in a SUAW-style intervention may increase writing productivity.

O envelhecimento populacional e o aumento das doenças crônicas aumentaram a necessidade de cuidados paliativos (CP). Apesar disso, o ensino dos CP na graduação dos cursos da saúde não é suficiente para o aprendizado desse tema entre os alunos. Dessa forma, muitos profissionais se sentem inseguros para lidar com pacientes em fim de vida. Estudos apontam que o ensino teórico e prático é essencial para preparar os estudantes adequadamente. Assim, o objetivo do presente estudo é analisar os aspectos atuais relacionados ao ensino dos cuidados paliativos (CP) nos cursos de graduação na área da saúde, como a percepção e desempenho dos estudantes e as ferramentas de ensino utilizadas. Observou-se que a utilização de vídeos, estudos de caso, aplicativos suportados pela web, dramatizações e simulações online foi importante para aumentar a eficácia da educação e o nível de conhecimento dos estudantes, apontando que estas modalidades são eficazes e devem ser aplicadas de maneira mais ampla pelas universidades.
