Proof of Concept: Feasibility of Rotator Cuff Psych Skills Training

In patients undergoing rotator cuff tear repair surgery, there is a correlation between poor psychological function before surgery and worsening of post-intervention outcomes, such as persistence of postoperative pain intensity and worse levels of function/disability. There is a need to address these poor responses prior to and after surgery to improve outcomes. Psychological skills training is a component of psychologically informed practice, which encompasses managing emotions, building confidence, goal-setting, enhancing motivation, and addressing injury-related fear. It is unknown if psychological skills training is a feasible and acceptable way to address these unfavorable responses after rotator cuff repair surgery. Prior to conducting large clinical trials assessing the efficacy of psychological skills training interventions, a proof of concept study is needed to determine if patients find psychological skills training as feasible, acceptable, and appropriate during their recovery from rotator cuff repair surgery.

Student Perspectives on Generative AI

The purpose of this study is to explore how undergraduates use and think about generative AI. I will be conducting a focus group in order to hear directly from students about the ways that they use (or don't use) AI, how they evaluate AI-generated content, what they like about generative AI, and any concerns they have. By learning from students' perspectives, I will gain a better understanding of how to create AI instruction that meets students' needs and interests.
