A Study On Consumer-Avatar Interactions In The Metaverse: Implications For Marketing Strategies, Sunmin Kim, Ji Hyeon Heo, Ji Hee Song

Asia Marketing Journal

The metaverse, expected to grow into a trillion-dollar market by 2030, is driving global investments across technology, economy, and even education. This research examines the interactions between consumers and avatars, a core element of the metaverse, to understand their influence on consumer identity, behavior, and attitudes. Based on the self-extension and self-expansion theories, the study uses immersive netnography to investigate consumer-avatar dynamics on the ZEPETO platform. Findings indicate that avatars act as extensions of the self, where consumers express control, create, and seek knowledge. Additionally, interactions between avatars contribute to self-expansion, as consumers incorporate the resources, perspectives, and characteristics of …

Does Your Company Care About The Fears Of Pandemic For Salespeople? Insights From Pandemic Demands And Resources, Ihsan Ullah Jan, Seonggoo Ji, Changju Kim

Asia Marketing Journal

The pandemics (e.g., COVID-19) disrupt the roles of all professionals, particularly those of salespeople. This study seeks to empirically examine how fears amidst the pandemic, as pandemic demands, influence salespeople's attitudinal and behavioral outcomes and how organizational and personal resources as pandemic resources mitigate the negative outcomes for salespeople. Building on the job demands-resources (JD-R) model and employing the partial least squares-based structural equation modeling, this study tested the proposed hypotheses using responses from 237 salespeople in South Korea. The results mainly supported hypotheses. As a major theoretical contribution, this study delineates Pandemic fears in terms of salespeople's fear of …

Interprofessional Education Confidence In Health Professions Education Assessment: Are Learners Ready For Interprofessional Collaborative Practice?, Nicole E. Brown, Anthony J. Goreczny, Natalie Schirato, Jodi Schreiber, Sarah Jameson, Timothy Braun, Mary Dee Fisher

Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice

Purpose: Interprofessional education (IPE) is critical to developing skills necessary for interprofessional collaborative practice (IPCP). Although much IPE research focuses on competence as an outcome, little research examines learner confidence in competence, which is likely to translate didactic knowledge into application of clinical skills. The current study aimed to assess student levels of confidence in skill competence related to the Interprofessional Education Collaborative (IPEC) core competencies. Methods: Students from multiple health professions programs (nursing, occupational therapy, physical therapy, physician assistant, graduate psychology), graduate biology, and undergraduate programs participated in the study (N=188). The Interprofessional Education Evaluation of Confidence (IPEEC) …

The Current Status Of Multi-Modality Imaging Of Pulmonary Emboli, Rodney C. Fisher, Kimberly L. Onstott

Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice

Background: Pulmonary emboli (PE) have a significant incident rate of 112.3 per 100,000 adults. When age-weighted, the population over 75 has an incident rate of 1 out of 100. 90% of deaths from acute cases occur within two hours of the onset of symptoms. In pregnancy-related deaths, 20% are attributed to PE, and pregnancy increases the risk of the development of PE by 400 – 600%. Significant risk factors for PE include COPD, obesity, recent trauma or surgery, a history of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a history of hormonal therapy, smoking, and pregnancy. Purpose: This literature review discusses how PE …

An Interprofessional Simulation To Address Health Misinformation And Vaccine Hesitancy, Sara W. Nelson, Leah Mallory, Shelly Cohen Konrad, Emily K. Dornblaser, Stephanie D. Nichols, Jennifer Hayman

Journal of Maine Medical Center

Introduction: The complexity of contemporary health care delivery underscores the need for future health care professionals to be adept at working in interprofessional teams and effectively managing the growing issue of medical misinformation. However, current health curricula often lack content on misinformation and have few, if any, opportunities for students to practice addressing misinformation with patients and colleagues.

Methods: To address this gap, our cross-institutional team developed a novel interprofessional simulation exercise and accompanying prework toolkit designed to develop communication skills for managing difficult conversations about COVID-19 misinformation. Ten third-year medical and 10 third-year pharmacy students piloted the toolkit and …

Little Changes, Jessica Wolfe

HCA Healthcare Journal of Medicine

This collage is made of hundreds of small pieces of paper cut from old magazines and junk mail. As I worked on it, I thought about how each tiny piece of paper alters the canvas in a nearly imperceptible way, but the shapes and colors could shift completely in the course of an hour. This concept of making small changes is something I think a lot about in my work as a psychiatric nurse as well. Even though it doesn’t always feel like it, we become wiser each day. By looking for these small opportunities to evolve, we can build …
