“…We could observed over-medication with long-term benzodiazepines in our sample, provided by GPs or black market. This is in line with the literature in Belgium (45). It seems also upon the participants that the doctor's objective was not always the same as the patient's.…”

Background: People who use illicit drugs cumulate medical and psychosocial vulnerabilities which justify a rounded health approach. Both caregivers and patients can form barriers to accessing care which can lead to inadequate care. We tried with this study to identify the needs and expectations of these patients in general practice. Methods: Qualitative research using semi-structured interviews was conducted on 23 people with illicit substance use disorder in Brussels in 2020. A multicentric recruitment was performed to obtain a heterogeneous mix of socio-demographic profiles and care trajectories. A thematic analysis was performed using RQDA package software. Results: Several vulnerabilities were highlighted by the participants. These include the presence of significant self-stigmatization and guilt, sometimes to the extent of self-dehumanization even after years of care; overdoses masking suicide attempts and early memory disorders. Multiple substance use, smoking in almost all participants and significant misuse of benzodiazepines were also noted. The majority of participants expressed the need for an open-minded, non-stigmatizing and empathic GP with a holistic approach who could guide them throughout their life course. The competences of GPs in the field of addiction seemed secondary for the participants. Knowledge and good collaboration with the mental health network was an asset. Conclusion: The participants expressed the need for GPs with good interpersonal skills including a non-stigmatizing attitude. The care coordinator role of the GP was highlighted as a key element, as was a holistic approach focusing on global health (including the social determinants of health) and not only on the substance use disorder.

“…About half of the students reported accessing the BB learning management system and download materials and articles; at the same time, more than 48% consider face-to-face lectures as helpful learning activities. Team-based learning has proven efficacy in different undergraduate courses in health sciences such as Nursing [30,31], Pharmacy [31,32], Speech Therapy [33], Medicine [34] and other specialties [35] . Due to time constraint and number of student in our Medical Informatics course, we were able to apply Modified TBL [36] instead the conventional TBL which enable one tutor to facilitate a number of groups simultaneously.…”

Modified team-based and blended learning perception: a cohort study among medical students at King Saud University

Background & Objective Medical schools have evolved toward competency-based education and active learner-centered strategies. Medical informatics course was introduced in 2011 in the 3rd year at the College of Medicine (CoM), King Saud University (KSU), to enhance future medical graduates with technological and information competencies. Modified team-based learning and blended learning were emphasized using face-to-face lectures, various e-learning technologies, workshop and seminars. The current study’s main objective was to assess students’ perceptions towards blended and modified team-based learning at the CoM in KSU. Methods A survey was distributed to medical students in three consecutive years: 2017–2019. The survey contains items regarding student perception of various types of blended learning techniques applied in the course. The survey was administered using i-Clicker; an interactive device that enables students to answer survey questions. Descriptive statistics were used to examine the perception of students on these blended learning dimensions investigated. Results Seven-hundred and one student responded to the questionnaire (male; 69.5%, female 30.5%). Out of which, 59.1% of students found team interactions positively supported discussions and asked questions freely, and 48.1% expressed that working in groups facilitated their learning process. However, 56.0% of students chose face-to-face lectures as the most preferred class activities followed by discussion 23.8%. More than 78% of participants agree that online quizzes are good experience and enjoyable. Grade center where students can check for marks and attendance also received high perception (66.3%). Conclusion Introducing modified team-based and blended-learning are considered challenging, and therefore, investigating their perceptions can provide useful insights into how these methods could be used more effectively. The blended-learning technique is highly essential in teaching medical informatics to overcome challenges faced due to a large number of students and the need for various exposures to reach the course’s learning goals. Moreover, it is noticed that students were engaged in face-to-face and online activities, furthermore, modified team-based learning reported facilitating learning and asking questions without embarrassment.
