The nature and potential benefit of awareness and experiential acceptance in adolescence remains neglected and understudied. To address this gap in the literature, 776 students (50% female) in Grade 10 completed measures of mindfulness, emotional awareness, and experiential acceptance, as well as measures of major personality traits. To study prospective changes, assessments of emotional well-being were completed across a 1-year interval. Analyses revealed that “Acting with Awareness” (engaging fully in one’s current activity with undivided attention), emotional awareness, and experiential acceptance where all linked to prosocial tendencies and uniquely predicted increases in well-being across the year. Observing experience (noticing, observing, …

Background: In a traditional medical programme prior academic performance is a good indicator for success. We aimed to determine whether performance in year one correlated with undergraduate performance in Medical Science in our integrated curriculum. Summary of work: Prior performance in anatomy, biochemistry and physiology was accessed for students who had attended the University of Wollongong for their undergraduate studies. Performance was correlated with examination results achieved in year 1. Summary of results: Seventy six students enrolled in Medicine (2007-2010), had completed their undergraduate degree at UOW taking subjects in anatomy (n=63), biochemistry (n=69) or physiology (n=69). Prior performance in …

Screening For Social Anxiety Disorder In First Year University Students: A Pilot Study, Ian Wilson
Screening For Social Anxiety Disorder In First Year University Students: A Pilot Study, Ian Wilson
Ian G Wilson
Social anxiety disorder (SAD) is characterised by fear of negative evaluation.1 Sufferers become anxious when they perceive themselves as the centre of attention, finding it difficult to speak in public, attend social events and deal with authority figures. It is common, with an annual prevalence of 2.7% in Australia, but elsewhere in the western world it is higher (3–4%) and has a lifetime incidence of 7–13%. It has significant impact on education and employment, with lower levels of educational achievement and lower incomes.There are several screening tests for social anxiety disorder. The 24 question Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale is reliable, …
A 5-Year Follow-Up Of General Practice Patients Experiencing Depression, Ian Wilson, Katherine Duszynski, Andrea Mant
A 5-Year Follow-Up Of General Practice Patients Experiencing Depression, Ian Wilson, Katherine Duszynski, Andrea Mant
Ian G Wilson
Background. Depression is a common disease in primary care and produces significant morbidity in the community. Little is known about the outcomes of depression in general practice. Objectives. This research set out to explore both the longitudinal management and outcomes of depression as seen in general practice. Methods. The Medic-GP database is a collection of the medical records of 50 000 people seen in nine Australian general practices. It was used to follow the management of depressed patients over 4-5 years. Records from 1994-1995 were searched for depression or similar words. Individual records of patients whose notes mentioned depression were …

Learning Strategies Of First Year Nursing And Medical Students: A Comparative Study, Yenna Salamonson, Bronwyn Everett, Jane Koch, Ian Wilson, Patricia Davidson

Background: Interprofessional education (IPE), where two or more professions learn with, from, and about each other to improve collaboration and the quality of care, has been proposed as a curriculum strategy to promote mutual understanding between professions, thus helping to prepare health professionals to work in challenging contemporary health systems. Although there is support for IPE initiatives within health professional education, differences in student motivation and learning strategies are likely to contribute to the success of these initiatives. Objective: To explore self-regulated learning strategies used by first year medical and nursing students, and to determine if these strategies were different …
Changes In Learning Approaches In First Year Medical Students, Ian Wilson, Roslyn Weaver, Y Salamonson
Changes In Learning Approaches In First Year Medical Students, Ian Wilson, Roslyn Weaver, Y Salamonson

Learning approaches have a long history in medical education. Recent research suggests that learning approaches reflect the nature of the educational program. Problem-based learning has been said to promote deep learning; however, previous studies have questioned this assumption. This study explored whether there was a shift in learning approaches in an undergraduate medical course and whether students with employment outside of study or from a non-English-speaking background were more likely to demonstrate a reduction in deep learning across the first year of medicine.Methods: First-year medical students at a university in Australia were invited to complete a survey about their approaches …
