RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: Despite evidence showing that team-based learning (TBL) is accepted by students, a gap in evidence exists regarding how students' experiences with TBL may change over time. In this study, we explored changes in accountability, satisfaction, and preference for TBL or traditional lecture among occupational therapy students using TBL across 1 yr of occupational therapy education. METHOD: Forty-one pairs of data from first- and third-term occupational therapy students were analyzed to determine changes in students' experience with TBL over time. RESULTS: Data analysis of first- and third-term students showed significant changes in accountability with TBL (p = .027), satisfaction with TBL (p = .021), and preference for TBL over traditional lecture (p = .019). CONCLUSION: Considerable differences were found in individual cohorts regarding satisfaction, accountability, and the overall TBL experience; however, no notable differences were found between cohorts.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to characterize workplace practices and respiratory health among coal miners with large opacities consistent with progressive massive fibrosis (PMF) who received care at a federally funded black lung clinic network in Virginia. METHODS: Participants were interviewed about their workplace practices and respiratory health. Medical records were reviewed. RESULTS: Nineteen former coal miners were included. Miners reported cutting rock, working downwind of dust-generating equipment, nonadherence to mine ventilation plans (including dust controls), improper sampling of respirable coal mine dust exposures, working after developing respiratory illness, and suffering from debilitating respiratory symptoms. CONCLUSION: Consistent themes of suboptimal workplace practices contributing to development of PMF emerged during the interviews. Some of the practices reported were unsafe and unacceptable. Further research is needed to determine the prevalence of these factors and how best to address them.
