the present study-both qualitative and quantitative--explored fifty efl learners’ preferences for receiving error feedback on different grammatical units as well as their beliefs about teacher feedback strategies. the study also examined the effect of the students’ level of writing ability on their views about the importance of teacher feedback on different error types. data was gathered throug...

BACKGROUND Patients are increasingly asking for their health data. Yet, little is known about what motivates patients to engage with the electronic health record (EHR). Furthermore, quality-focused mechanisms for patients to comment about their records are lacking. OBJECTIVE We aimed to learn more about patient experiences with reading and providing feedback on their visit notes. METHODS We...

Background: Infants hospitalized in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) are often severely ill, highly prone to various diseases, and exposed to complex and prolonged intensive care interventions. Consequently, they are susceptible to the lapses in teamwork and patient safety. Patient safety culture a fundamental step to improve patient safety. The present study aimed to evaluate the perspect...

the objective of the present paper is to shed some light on peer feedback in efl writing courses. in recent years, with regard to teaching writing, there has been a total shift of approach, from product-orientation to process-orientation. a key component of the latter is peer assessment in which learners read each other's compositions and provide feedback to the writer, based on the teache...

researchers have suggested that interactional feedback which is between teacher and learner during their writing is associated with l2 learning because it prompts learners to notice l2 forms. this paper reports a classroom-based study that investigated the role of feedback in socio-cultural theory. in this study, 12 efl learners performed on three writing tasks and were provided with a three-st...

CONTEXT Patient-centred communication is a key component of patient centredness in medical care. Therefore, adequate education in and assessment of patient-centred communication skills are necessary. In general, feedback on communication skills is most effective when it is provided directly and is systematic. This calls for adequate measurement instruments. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study wa...

It is well established that patient feedback is key to service development and improvement in the modern NHS. Certain patient groups can be particularly difficult to get feedback from, including those with dementia. The Later Life Mental Health Liaison Team at the Bristol Royal Infirmary were consistently receiving very low levels of patient feedback, such that it was insufficient to properly c...

introduction: feedback cards are recommended as a feasible tool for structured written feedback delivery in clinical education while effectiveness of this tool on the medical students’ performance is still questionable. the purpose of this study was to compare the effects of structured written feedback by cards as well as verbal feedback versus verbal feedback alone on the clinical performance ...

Background: The most important barriers to patient education are nurses’ poor motivation and training, and poor quality of managerial supervision. Clinical supervision could be a powerful tool for overcoming these barriers. However, the associated patient, staff, and organization-related outcomes still require further research. Aim: The present study aimed to evaluate the patient-, staff-, and ...
