“…A study reported that the intraclass correlation coefficient of the Persian MPOC-20 was 0.81 and the intraclass correlation coefficients of all its subscales were 0.60–1, which confirmed its acceptable reliability ( 43 ). The Cronbach's alpha of this instrument in the present study was 0.941.…”

Background and aimThe improved life expectancy of children with disability in recent years has led to their increased request for using lifelong rehabilitation services. Family-centered care (FCC) is a model with potential positive effects on the rehabilitation of children with disability. The present study aimed at improving FCC in the pediatric rehabilitation ward.MethodsThis participatory action research was conducted in 2021–2023 in the pediatric rehabilitation ward of a hospital in Tehran, Iran. Participants were 16 rehabilitation staff and 48 mothers recruited via convenient and purposive sampling methods. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions, and the 20-item and the 27-item Measures of the Processes Of Care (MPOC). Data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis as well as the Kolmogorov-Smirnov and the Wilcoxon's tests.FindingsThe major barrier to the implementation of FCC was staff and family limited knowledge about the importance and the benefits of FCC and the best facilitator to change was improvement of their knowledge. Therefore, an action plan based on staff and family education was designed and implemented. Participants' positive experiences of the plan were improvement of satisfaction, knowledge, collaboration, and coordination in care and their negative experiences were educational problems and dissatisfaction with the ward atmosphere. The strengths of the plan were adequate number of staff, long enough hospital stay of children, chronic course of disability, and mothers’ previous experiences. Its weaknesses were the long course of a single action plan cycle, exclusive focus on education, and the high risk of plan termination after the study. The practical problems of the study were also small physical space of the ward, transfer of some trained staff to other wards, and child discharge from the hospital.ConclusionStaff and family limited knowledge about the importance and the benefits of FCC is a major barrier to effective FCC. Continuous education as well as family and staff collaboration may improve FCC in pediatric rehabilitation ward.

“…In the UAE, there is limited evidence on the efficacy and / or applicability of FCC in health service delivery for families raising children with disabilities. The reliability of the family version of the MPOC-SP investigated in Jordan [ 28 ], and the practitioner’s version has been validated for use in Iran [ 29 ], indicating applicability of the framework within Middle eastern contexts. However, the efficacy of the MPOC-SP for measuring FCC among allied health professionals in early intervention for children with disabilities is yet to be studied.…”

Background The role of parents in supporting early intervention for young children with disabilities is critical. Indeed, models of family centered care (FCC), which emphasis strong partnerships between health professionals and families in disability health services delivery are now widely associated with best practice. While FCC is consistently argued to be an appropriate model for disability service delivery, its utilization is limited primarily to Western countries such as Australia and the United States. Countries such as the United Arab Emirates (UAE) have prioritized early childhood development and are thus in search of best practices for delivery of early intervention for children and their families. Objective The aim of this study was to explore the appropriateness of the FCC model in disability service delivery in the UAE. This study was conducted from the perspectives of health professionals who are involved in disability diagnosis, referral and ongoing support for families and children with disabilities. Method A total of 150 health professionals were recruited from health facilities, rehabilitation centers and schools in the Emirates of Abu Dhabi. The 27-item Measure of Process of Care for Service Providers (MPOC-SP) was used for data collection. The data were subjected to confirmatory factor analysis to confirm applicability of the model to this context. Multivariate analysis of variance and moderation analysis were also conducted, to ascertain the relationship between participants’ satisfaction levels with their ability to diagnose, refer and provide on-going support and their likelihood of practicing key components of FCC. Result Computation of confirmatory factor analysis provided support for applicability of the MPOC-SP in the UAE context. Further inspection showed moderate to large correlations between the four components of FCC measured by MPOC-SP, providing further support for utilization of FCC in disability health service delivery in the UAE. Conclusion The study concludes with a call to policymakers in the UAE to consider developing disability health policy based on key components of FCC. This could be supplemented by development of training modules on FCC to upskill health professionals involved in disability diagnosis and rehabilitation.

Background The evaluation of e-learning systems ensures the provision of quality training. The goal was to identify the perspectives of teachers and students on e-learning in medical education during the COVID-19 pandemic at Shiraz University of Medical Sciences (SUMS), Iran. Methods This study utilized a convergent mixed methods research design with a two-phase approach to collect and analyze data between June and August 2022. In the first stage, a cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted to evaluate the quality of e-learning systems from the perspective of 400 students. In the second stage, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 10 virtual education professors and 10 student representatives to identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of virtual education. A validated questionnaire was administered to assess the quality of the e-learning system, and data were analyzed using SPSS-21. Qualitative data were subjected to content analysis. Results Our findings revealed that the student support system, the course structure, and the infrastructure and technology subscales’ mean scores were significantly higher than the average level (P < 0.001). However, the professors’ methods of teaching and learning strategies were unsatisfactory. The results of the present study showed that the evaluation mean score was significantly higher among, younger, female, and undergraduate students. Virtual education has strengths and weaknesses, and innovative approaches are needed to enhance student engagement. The lack of appropriate infrastructure and virtual teaching tools for teachers and students is a significant challenge that needs to be addressed. Blended learning is effective in medical education, and the shift from teacher-centered to learner-centered teaching approaches is an opportunity to explore innovative teaching approaches. Conclusion From the perspective of students, the quality of eLearning systems at the universities was moderate. Virtual education offers both benefits and drawbacks, and there is a requirement for innovative solutions to enhance student engagement and lessen boredom.
