The ocular anatomy coloring book

Author Abbie M. Jordan combined her visual learning style with a love of anatomy to incorporate this study tool useful for optometry students. With the guidance of Dr. Lee Ann Remington the pair has written, drawn, and edited two editions of The Ocular Anatomy Coloring Book. This book illustrates a combination of anatomical structures and creative shapes involved in the study of vision. It is intended to be used as a fun and abstract visual tool to facilitate primary learning of the ocular system and its components. As an accompaniment to ocular anatomy texts and lectures, this book should help to form a mental picture ofthe many interconnections and relationships of anatomical structures. During the first year of distribution, 2001, the book was used by 50 members of the Class of 2004 at Pacific University College of Optometry and 25 members of the Class of 2005. With minor editing and corrections a second edition was produced and distributed to 47 students of the class of 2006. Alterations for the 2nd edition included some grammatical and spelling changes, as well as some drawing simplifications and additions. After the completion of the 2003 Ocular Anatomy course at PUCO a survey and questionnaire was given to all those that had purchased the book. Results of this survey are included in the following attachments. As shown, 97% of the students commented that they would recommend the book to incoming first year optometry students and 83% agreed the book helped them to learn ocular anatomy. Students were also asked to make comments and suggestions for the book, which are included in attachment three. The general consensus and conclusion was that the book attained its goal of helping optometry students better learn ocular anatomy. Students found it both \u27simplifying\u27 and \u27helpful\u27 with one student writing the book helped them to get visual idea of the structures which is a good mental \u27picture\u27 to refer to when studying. The Ocular Anatomy Coloring Book will continue to be available for all incoming optometry students at PUCO. Professional publication is currently in the works to make the book available to other optometry schools across the country

Bittersweet: A qualitative exploration of mothers’ experiences of raising a single surviving twin.

Loss of a child from a multiple birth pregnancy is not uncommon yet the idiographic experience of parents who have lost a single twin from a multiple birth pregnancy is underexplored. This novel study sought to explore the experiences of mothers bereaved after loss of a twin from a multiple birth pregnancy, focusing on the dual challenges of parenting and grieving. Eighteen mothers at least 12 months post loss were recruited from a private UK based Facebook page dedicated to supporting parents after loss from a multiple birth. Eligible mothers completed an independent qualitative open-ended survey to explore maternal experiences of loss. Data were analysed using Thematic Analysis. Findings represented a sense of duality for participants, with mothers experiencing conflict between roles and identities as well as the nature of their loss. Key themes identified include ‘Narrating a story of family and loss’, ‘Finding a place for the twins within the family’ and ‘A changing sense of self’. Findings fit with theoretical conceptualisations of bereavement that acknowledge retaining relationships with the deceased. Practically, suggestions for supporting mothers to identify stock answers to often asked questions about family make up were suggested

Dataset for "Pharmacy professionals' experiences and perceptions of providing NHS patient medicines helpline services: A qualitative study"

Transcripts of interviews with thirty-four pharmacy professionals about their experiences and perceptions of providing a National Health Service patient medicines helpline service.An interview schedule was developed for the purpose of interviewing participants regarding their experiences and perceptions of their PMHS, and was informed by the RE-AIM evaluation framework. RE-AIM comprises five dimensions that are considered important for evaluating the impact of healthcare interventions: Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance. We ensured that questions pertaining to each of the five RE-AIM dimensions were included in the schedule. During data collection, the interview schedule served as a flexible guide for interviews, enabling participants to discuss aspects of their PMHS that were important to them. All interviews were audio-recorded. After their interview, the following background data were collected from each participant over the telephone: age, gender, ethnicity, job title, number of years employed as a pharmacy professional, and number of years’ experience of operating or providing a PMHS. All audio-recorded interviews were transcribed verbatim into separate Microsoft Word documents. Framework analysis (FA) was used to analyse the transcribed data. Analysis involved the standard FA stages, as outlined by Ritchie and Spencer (the developers of FA): familiarisation with the data, coding, developing an analytical framework, indexing, charting, and interpretation. The only deviation to the FA stages was that Iterative Categorisation (IC) was used in place of charting. The choice to use IC was made in order to increase transparency and rigour.Data were analysed using NVivo version 12
