Design-based research in designing the model for educating simulation facilitators
The purpose of this article is to introduce the concept of design-based research, its appropriateness in creating education-based models, and to describe the process of developing such a model. The model was designed as part of the Nurse Educator Simulation based learning project, funded by the EU's Lifelong Learning program (2013-1-DK1-LEO05-07053). The project partners were VIA University College, Denmark, the University of Huddersfield, UK and Metropolia University of Applied Sciences, Finland. (Source: Nurse Education in Practice)

Learned helplessness in doctors with dyslexia: Time for a change in discourse?
Dyslexia may be defined as a “learning difficulty that specifically impairs a person's ability to read … despite having normal intelligence” (National institute of neurological disorders and stroke, 2011; Dyslexia International, n.d.). It is a Specific Learning Difficulty (SpLD), which has an estimated international preva lence of 10% (Dyslexia International, n.d.; Wray et al., 2012). Within the United Kingdom (UK), it is protected by the Equality Act of 2010 and, therefore, employers are required to make reasonable adjustments to enable individuals with dyslexia to reach their full potential within their jobs (Great...

Specific learning difficulties in healthcare education: The meaning in the nomenclature
Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLDs) refers to a group of conditions, which encompasses: dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) (Gibbs et al., 2007). In recent years, however, there has been some debate as to the correct terminology for this diagnostic cluster. This in turn creates uncertainty for the non-specialist healthcare educator. The language and term(s) they choose to adopt may hold unintended implications for their learners. Throughout this short article, we therefore explore the variety of terminology surrounding these conditions. (Source: Nurse Education in Practice)

Factors related to nursing students ’ readiness to enter working life – A scoping literature review
The aim of this scoping literature review was to identify the factors related to nursing students' readiness to enter working life. The literature search was carried out in autumn 2017 in PubMed and CINAHL databases. The studies selected for this review (n = 17) were analyzed thematically with inductive content analysis. Four subthemes that were combined into two main factors related to nursing students' readiness to enter working life were found. The main factors found were 1) educational factors and 2) personal factors. (Source: Nurse Education in Practice)

Attitudes of midwifery and nursing students in a Turkish university toward lesbians and gay men and opinions about healthcare approaches
Lesbians and gay men are subjected to negative attitudes and poor quality health care by midwives in the process of having children and by nurses in the process of receiving general health care services. Our aim was to investigate midwifery and nursing students' attitudes towards lesbians and gay men and their opinions about health care approaches displayed towards them. The study was designed as a cross-sectional and descriptive one and conducted in one midwifery and two nursing schools in a city in Turkey and comprised 1321 students.

Exploration of the perceived impact of carer involvement in mental health nurse education: Values, attitudes and making a difference
Academic settings are seen to be an ideal, although potentially privileged, environments in which to demonstrate meaningful and authentic involvement. Despite the lack of evaluation and evidence relating to the impact of involvement being noted in the early 2000's, there continues to be a lack of evaluative research in this area (Happell et al., 2014) with the examination of the carers perspective being even more limited.This paper presents qualitative findings emerging from an Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) carried out on transcripts from five individual semi-structured interviews with family carers who cont...
