Australian final year nursing students ′ and registered nurse supervisors’ perceptions of a gerontology clinical learning experience: A preliminary appraisal
Current international research suggests universities providing nursing education should focus on shifting students' attitudes towards valuing clinical learning derived from aged care settings, offering support and education for aged care facility staff supervising nursing students ’ learning in the aged care setting, and encouraging nursing graduates to consider pursuing careers in gerontology nursing.Against this international backdrop, one Australian School of Nursing designed a structured clinical learning experience to offer final year nursing students an opportunity to further their knowledge and understanding of th...

Practice and effectiveness of web-based problem-based learning approach in a large class-size system: A comparative study
This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of web-based PBL teaching pedagogies in large classes. The cluster sampling method was used to separate two college-level nursing student classes (graduating class of 2013) into two groups. The experimental group (n = 162) was taught using a web-based PBL teaching approach, while the control group (n = 166) was taught using conventional teaching methods.

Lecturers ’ lived experiences of guiding reflective seminars during nursing education
In the present study, reflective seminars were integrated during a three-year nursing programme in Sweden. The specific characteristics of the reflective seminars are built upon a foundation in lifeworld theory and caring science. As teaching in higher education demands an academic degree but not necessarily formal pedagogical education, lecturers involved in reflective seminars are often left without guidance concerning what constitutes a reflective learning activity in nursing education. The aim of the present study is to describe the lived experience of guiding reflective seminars during nursing education from the lectu...

Understanding the impact of mental health placements on student nurses ’ attitudes towards mental illness
Student nurses maintain unfavorable views of people with mental health issues. Many continue to perpetuate common stereotypes, are fearful and believe people with mental health problems are in some way dangerous. The impact of placements greatly affects these views. A pre-post survey of 85 student nurses was conducted to establish the opinions and attitudes of student nurses regarding mental health. Groups were allocated to either community or hospital placements. Each group received the same educational preparation prior to placement. (Source: Nurse Education in Practice)

Youtube for millennial nursing students; using internet technology to support student engagement with bioscience
Undergraduate nursing programs typically include students with limited ‘on-campus’ time who need learning resources that are flexible, technologically appropriate, remotely-accessible (mobile smart devices), and above all, engaging. This has presented academics with challenges surrounding institutional security firewalls, password-access requirements, intellectual property/ownership and staff/student privacy. To overcome these challenges a collection of evidence-based YouTube videos, posted on the Biological Sciences YouTube Channel, supported by the Biosciences in Nurse Education, and underpinned by Benner's pedagogic...

‘Living the rural experience-preparation for practice’: The future proofing of sustainable rural midwifery practice through midwifery education
Rural practice presents unique challenges and skill requirements for midwives. New Zealand and Scotland face similar challenges in sustaining a rural midwifery workforce. This paper draws from an international multi-centre study exploring rural midwifery to focus on the education needs of student midwives within pre-registration midwifery programmes in order to determine appropriate preparation for rural practice.The mixed-methods study was conducted with 222 midwives working in rural areas in New Zealand (n = 145) and Scotland (n = 77).

Consideration of using virtual reality for teaching neonatal resuscitation to midwifery students
Within the last decade, there has been significant change in the way tertiary midwifery education has been delivered to students. The use of blended teaching methods and the introduction of simulated learning experiences has been observed in the literature to improve students ’ self-confidence, competence, clinical judgement and decision-making abilities. Simulation is seen to be particularly important when practising skills that may be infrequently encountered in practice, such as clinical emergencies. (Source: Nurse Education in Practice)

From linear care plan through concept map to Concepto-Plan: The creation of an innovative and holistic care plan
Linear care plans have traditionally been used in nursing education to support nursing students in identifying potential and actual health care problems, and to follow up on those issues with nursing interventions. However, the linear care plan does not support the nursing student with learning in-depth critical thinking, clinical reasoning, creative thinking, and other ways of thinking. Concept mapping was introduced as a way to support the nursing student to improve upon critical thinking and clinical reasoning and to identify relationships among the patient's health care problems.

Nursing education in Poland – The past and new development perspectives

The impact of educational interventions on the empathic concern of health professional students: A literature review
This review aimed to identify programs that promote health professional students' empathic concern. Empathic concern is a key mediator of important outcomes for both patients and health professionals. However the empathic concern of health professional students tends to decline over the course of their studies. To date studies that have evaluated the impact of educational programs on empathic concern have not been reviewed. The databases ProQuest, CINAHL and Ovid were searched for studies that had evaluated educational programs for health professional students using a validated psychometric measure of empathic concern. (So...

The impact of a multimodal education strategy (the DeTER program) on nurses' recognition and response to deteriorating patients
Nurses are ideally positioned to recognise and respond to patient deterioration. However, premonitory signs of patient deterioration are often overlooked, not managed, or not communicated in a timely fashion. Education programs aimed at improving nurses' technical and non-technical skills have been developed, however, the outcomes of these educational strategies remain unclear.A quasi-experimental time series design was used in this study to evaluate the impact of a multi-modal education program (DeTER) on acute care nurses' technical and non-technical skill development and recognition and response to patient deterioration...
