Abstract

Background: Academic mentors are needed to help students start and develop some parts of professional competence that may be hidden in medical education programs and constantly evolving over time. Academic mentorship model research has been developed in the context of medical education in European and North American countries, which have different cultural contexts from Eastern countries. Therefore, students’ perspective for the model of valued academic mentorship in this context needs to be explored further to become a recommendation for faculties in providing academic mentorship to students. The study aimed to explore how undergraduate medical students perceive the valuable academic mentoring model.Methods: This study used qualitative approach. Seventeen medical students of Universitas Kristen Duta Wacana (UKDW) from year 2018-2021 were divided into 2 focus group discussions. Thematic analysis was applied to analyse the findings. Results: The FGD raised the themes of students' perspectives on valuable academic mentorship if there is a good mentors-students relationship, providing support, hope and role models, flexibility, and effectiveness of academic mentorship, as well as students' hopes for academic mentorship in the future.Conclusion: Academic mentorship is a guidance that provides hope and support according to student needs. The models of valuable academic mentorship according to students is if there is flexibility in mentoring time and effective communication. Future mentoring models should describe future career opportunities and professionalism as a doctor.

Abstract

Purpose: We assessed Red Cell Distribution Width (RDW) levels at hospital admission and determined whether RDW could serve as a predictor of disability prognosis in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Research Methodology: A retrospective cohort study was conducted using data from the stroke registry at Bethesda Hospital, Yogyakarta. RDW levels were measured upon hospital admission. Functional disability at 30 days post-stroke was evaluated using the modified Rankin Scale and analyzed statistically. Results: Elevated RDW levels were observed in 20.8% of patients. Receiver operating characteristic analysis identified an optimal RDW cutoff value of 14.15%, with an area under the curve of 0.689 (p=0.009). At 30 days after stroke onset, 20% of patients had poor functional outcomes. Bivariate analysis demonstrated a significant association between high RDW levels and poor disability outcomes (p=0.001; OR=14.333). Multivariate logistic regression analysis confirmed that elevated RDW was an independent predictor of 30-day post-stroke disability (OR=4.287; 95% CI: 2.036–9.029; p<0.001). Conclusions: Elevated RDW at admission is significantly associated with poorer functional outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke and may serve as a useful prognostic biomarker. Limitations: This study relied on secondary data, limiting control over patient conditions and measurement quality. The study population predominantly included mild-to-moderate stroke cases, and potential confounding factors, such as comorbidities, were not evaluated. Contributions: These findings may enhance prognostic accuracy and support the development of clinical tools for predicting post-stroke disability.
