Study Objectives: This study assessed generalists' perceptions and challenges in providing care to sleep disorders patients and the role of sleep specialists in improving gaps in care. Methods: A mixed-method approach included qualitative (semi-structured interviews, discussion groups) and quantitative (online surveys) data collection techniques regarding care of patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and shift work disorder (SWD). Results: Participants: OSA: generalists n = 165, specialists (internists, neurologists, psychiatrists, pulmonologists) n = 12; SWD: generalists n = 216, specialists n = 108. Generalists reported challenges in assessing sleep disorders and diagnosing patients with sleep complaints. Generalists lacked confi dence (selected ≤ 3 on a 5-pt Likert scale) in managing polypharmacy and drug interactions (OSA: 54.2%; SWD: 62.6%), addiction (OSA: 61.8%), and continuous positive airway pressure (OSA: 66.5%). Generalists in both studies reported defi cits in knowledge of monitoring sleep disorders (OSA: 57.7%; SWD:78.7%), rather relying on patients' subjective reports; 23% of SWD generalists did not identify SWD as a medical condition. Challenges to generalist-specialist collaboration were reported, with 66% of generalists and 68% of specialists in the SWD study reporting lack of coordination as a barrier. Generalists reported lack of consistency in sleep medicine and a perceived lack of value in consulting with sleep specialists. Conclusions S C I E N T I F I C I N V E S T I G A T I O N SI nadequate sleep is widespread in the United States, 1,2 affecting approximately 50-70 million Americans.1 Chronic lack of sleep and insomnia have important physiological and health effects as well as psychological, cognitive, safety, social, and economic implications.3 Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and shift work disorder (SWD) are two common sleep disorders with potentially serious social impact. OSA affects roughly 5% to 10% of the U.S. population or 18 million Americans, 4 including an estimated 11.6% of the shift work population.5 Shift work disorder, interruption of the normal sleep/wake cycle by the need to work shifts, or non-traditional daytime hours, and is referred to as circadian rhythm sleep disorder, shift work type, or shift work disorder (SWD).6 Approximately 20% of workers are estimated to work non-traditional schedules.7 Of these, 10% have been found to experience SWD. 8 In spite of their prevalence, substantial impact, and the availability of effective treatment strategies, sleep disorders are generally underdiagnosed and undertreated by healthcare providers.1,2 The annual Sleep in America survey 2 reported that 86% of respondents' generalists had never discussed sleep with them. Six of ten healthcare professionals reported not having enough time to discuss sleep problems during offi ce visits. Even when patients were asked about sleep issues, providers neither managed them directly nor referred patients to specialists. In another study, 90% of generalists rated their knowledge of sleep ...

“…Enfin, si Borko (2004) considère essentiel le recours simultané à divers cadres conceptuels, notamment pour prendre en compte les perspectives individuelles et collectives du développement professionnel, nous pouvons ajouter que l'emploi de méthodes mixtes, alliant des méthodes qualitatives et quantitatives, s'avère tout aussi important (Johnson et Onwuegbuzie, 2004), voire essentiel, surtout lorsqu'il s'agit d'évaluer l'effet de programmes ou d'interventions (Chatterji, 2004). Hargreaves (1996, dans Zuzovsky, 2001) considèrent que, dans une ère postmoderne caractérisée par la complexité, l'incertitude morale et scientifique, le professionnalisme recherché devrait intégrer des éléments des cinq formes de professionnalisme qu'ils identifient.…”

Abstract. HydroViz is a Web-based, student-centered, educational tool designed to support active learning in the field of Engineering Hydrology. The design of HydroViz is guided by a learning model that is based on learning with data and simulations, using real-world natural hydrologic systems to convey theoretical concepts, and using Web-based technologies for dissemination of the hydrologic education developments. This model, while being used in a hydrologic education context, can be adapted in other engineering educational settings. HydroViz leverages the free Google Earth resources to enable presentation of geospatial data layers and embed them in web pages that have the same look and feel of Google Earth. These design features significantly facilitate the dissemination and adoption of HydroViz by any interested educational institutions regardless of their access to data or computer models. To facilitate classroom usage, HydroViz is populated with a set of course modules that can be used incrementally within different stages of an engineering hydrology curriculum. A pilot evaluation study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of the HydroViz tool in delivering its educational content, to examine the buy-in of the program by faculty and students, and to identify specific project components that need to be further pursued and improved. A total of 182 students from seven freshmen and senior-level undergraduate classes in three universities participated in the study. HydroViz was effective in facilitating students' learning and understanding of hydrologic concepts and increasing related skills. Students had positive perceptions of various features of HydroViz and they believe that HydroViz fits well in the curriculum. In general, HydroViz tend to be more effective with students in senior-level classes than students in freshmen classes. Lessons gained from this pilot study provide guidance for future adaptation and expansion studies to scale-up the application and utility of HydroViz and other similar systems into various hydrology and water-resource engineering curriculum settings. The paper presents a set of design principles that contribute to the development of other active hydrology educational systems.
