RESUMEN

Objetivo: analisar os entraves durante o percurso acadêmico no curso de Enfermagem acerca da utilização das tecnologias educativas. Métodos: pesquisa descritiva com abordagem qualitativa. Os dados foram coletados por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas com discentes de enfermagem no período de novembro de 2016 a janeiro de 2017, sendo os depoimentos analisados através da análise de discurso. Resultados: os discentes discursaram como entraves o fato dos docentes permanecerem fincados no método tradicional de ensino; a falta de interesse em levar essas tecnologias para o ambiente de ensino, além da formação dos próprios educadores serem focadas em um ensino com metodologias tradicionais. Conclusão: surge a necessidade de discutir sobre o papel da gestão e a formação pedagógica necessária para a efetividade da docência em saúde, que, mesmo com todas as diretrizes norteadoras e reestruturadoras desse ensino, não garantem a formação do profissional com o perfil pretendido

Objective: The study's main purpose has been to analyze the obstacles of academic life in the Nursing Graduation Course concerning the educational technologies usage. Methods: It is a descriptive research with a qualitative approach. Data collection took place through semi-structured interviews with nursing undergraduates from November 2016 to January 2017, and the interviews were analyzed through discourse analysis. Results: The students addressed as obstacles the fact that the professors remain in the traditional method of teaching; the lack of interest in bringing new technologies to the teaching environment, and the training of the educators themselves are focused on teaching with traditional methodologies. Conclusion: There is a need to discuss the role of management personnel and the pedagogical training necessary for the effectiveness of teaching in health, which, even with all the guiding directives and restructuring of this teaching, do not guarantee appropriate training towards the desired professional profile

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Broadly accessible curriculum that equips Advanced Practice Nurses (APNs) with knowledge and skills to apply genomics in practice in the era of precision health is needed. Increased accessibility of genomics courses and updated curriculum will prepare APNs to be leaders in the precision health initiative. METHODS: Courses on genomics were redesigned using contemporary pedagogical approaches to online teaching. Content was based on the Essential Genetic and Genomic Competencies for Nurses with Graduate Degrees. RESULTS: The number of students enrolled (n = 10) was comparable to previous years with greater breadth of representation across nursing practice specialty areas (53% vs. 20%). Prior to the first course, students reported agreement with meeting 8% (3/38) of the competencies. By completion of the 3rd course, students reported 100% (38/38) agreement with meeting the competencies. CONCLUSIONS: Content on genomics sufficient to obtain self-perceived attainment of genomics competencies can be successfully delivered using contemporary pedagogical teaching approaches.

RESUMEN

Introducción: El síndrome confusional agudo o delírium es una complicación frecuente en la población de edad avanzada hospitalizada, y de acuerdo con la literatura científica representa un claro desafío para la enfermera geriátrica. Objetivo: Este trabajo desarrolla una estrategia de mejora del proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje del paciente con delírium basada en el Método del Caso. Método: La implementación tuvo lugar el año 2013 en la Escuela Universitaria de Enfermería de Leioa, de la Universidad del País Vasco. En la implementación del caso participó el 100% del alumnado matriculado (n = 71) en la asignatura Enfermería Geriátrica, impartida en el 2.º curso, 2.º cuatrimestre del Grado en Enfermería. Resultados: Los resultados indican que a pesar de que el Método del Caso requiere de una mayor planificación que las clases expositivas y una nueva forma de pensar acerca de la práctica docente, los resultados obtenidos son satisfactorios (el 94,3% ha adquirido, al menos, las competencias mínimas exigidas). Conclusiones: El Método del Caso proporciona una oportunidad de aprender las habilidades necesarias para valorar e intervenir en los pacientes con síndrome confusional agudo, respondiendo además a una nueva forma de pensar acerca de enseñar y mejorar la calidad de la práctica docente. Asimismo, este trabajo tiende un puente entre la práctica clínica general y la práctica en el aula, lo que constituye un objetivo importante para la investigación en la educación en enfermería

Introduction: Clinical practice as well as scientific literature have shown that handling older patients with delirium or acute confusional syndrome marks a remarkable challenge to the geriatric nurse. Aim: This paper describes the implementation of a Case Method based teaching and learning strategy for acute confusional syndrome care. Method: Data were collected during 2013 at the nursing school of Leioa, University of the Basque Country. All students enrolled on a Geriatric Nursing Course, during the 2nd year 2nd semester of a Nursing Degree Programme, participated in the implementation (n = 71). Results: The results have shown that even though the Case Method requires greatest planning needs in comparison with traditional teaching and involves a new way of thinking about the teaching practice, the results are satisfactory (94.3% have acquired, at least, the minimum required competencies). Conclusions: The Case Method enables students to learn the required abilities to assess and care patients with acute confusional syndrome. In addition, answers the demands of a new way of understanding the teaching role and the quality of education. Likewise, this work helps to close the theory practice gap, representing an important aim in the nursing education practice and research

RESUMEN

Objetivo. Un elemento clave para promocionar que los trabajadores sanitarios (TS) hagan la Higiene de Manos (HM) es analizar sus percepciones respecto a ella. Nuestro objetivo fue evaluar las creencias y percepciones que los estudiantes de enfermería tienen sobre la HM. Método. Estudio transversal; se incluyeron los alumnos de enfermería de una universidad española en el curso 2011-2012. La información se obtuvo utilizando un cuestionario autocumplimentado, donde valoraron la importancia de la HM para controlar infecciones nosocomiales (IN), creencias (mediante Hand Hygiene Beliefs Scale-HHBS) y percepciones sobre la importancia que, durante la carrera, se daba a la HM (mediante Hand Hygiene Importance Scale-HHIS). Las asociaciones se analizaron utilizando la regresión logística múltiple. Resultados. El 54.1 % (146/270) del alumnado respondió. La valoración de la importancia de la HM para controlar IN osciló entre 4-10 puntos (media = 9). El ítem de HHIS con mayor acuerdo fue considerarla como parte importante del programa de estudios (76.1 %), mientras que en la HHBS fue creer que lavar las manos tras ir al baño reduce la transmisión de enfermedades infecciosas (100 %). Valorar con > 9 puntos la importancia de la HM para controlar IN se asoció con el acuerdo en considerarla como parte importante del programa de estudios (OR: 2.5), y creer que el TS desempeña un papel relevante en la prevención de IN (OR: 4.3). Conclusiones. La HM se valoró como una importante medida para controlar IN. Durante su formación se les ha de preparar para que la realicen, independientemente de que en sus prácticas observen un pobre cumplimiento entre los TS (AU)

Objective. A key element to promote the compliance of hand hygiene (HH) among health care workers (HCWs) is to analyze their perceptions of it. Our objective was to evaluate the beliefs and perceptions that nursing students have on HH. Method. A cross-sectional study was performed during the 2011-2012 school year. It included all enrolled nursing students from a Spanish University. The information was obtained by a self-administered questionnaire, which assessed the importance of HH to control nosocomial infections (NI), beliefs (by Hand Hygiene Beliefs Scale-HHBS) and perceptions of the importance given to HH in the curriculum (by Hand Hygiene Importance Scale-HHIS). Associations were analyzed using logistic regression. Results. 146 students of the 270 (54.1 %) completed the questionnaire. Assessing the importance of HH as NI control measure ranged from 4 to 10 points (median = 9). The more agreement HHIS item was to consider HH as an important part of the curriculum (76.1 %), while HHBS item was to believe that hands washing after going to the toilet reduces the transmission of infectious diseases (100 %). Importance of HH to control NI valued with > 9 points was associated with the agreement to consider it as an relevant part of the curriculum (OR: 2.5), and to believe that HCWs play an important role in preventing NI (OR: 4.3). Conclusions. HH was rated as an important NI control measure. Educational programs should be carried out at universities to students do HH, whether they observe poor compliance among HCWs in their practices (AU)

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: With the global shortage of doctor of philosophy-prepared nursing faculty and an aging nursing professorate, the nursing profession is at risk of having fewer nurses doing research and fewer faculty to supervise the next generation of nurse researchers. METHOD: A research training award for graduate nursing students was piloted with the intent of providing a research-intensive experiential learning opportunity that would contribute to graduate students' future roles as nurse researchers. This article describes the program design, implementation, and evaluation. FINDINGS: The Graduate Student Research Training Awards afforded students an opportunity to develop research and methodologic skills and achieve student-centered outcomes. These awards build their capacity as future researchers by both empowering them and increasing their confidence in research. The input and evaluation from graduate students was integral to the success of the program. CONCLUSION: Graduate student research training awards can be a valuable experiential learning opportunity in research intensive graduate programs. [J Nurs Educ. 2016;55(5):284-287.].

RESUMEN

AIM: This article provides a review of current disciplinary understanding of Narrative Pedagogy and describes the implications for ongoing transformation in nursing education. BACKGROUND: Narrative Pedagogy has been enacted and investigated by teachers around the world for more than 15 years. Few nursing educational innovations or pedagogies in nursing have been adopted in such an array of settings/levels. METHOD: A review of the nursing literature was conducted to locate reports of research on and teaching innovations derived from Narrative Pedagogy. RESULTS: Narrative Pedagogy has an extensive and longitudinal body of research describing how the approach contributes to the educational transformation the discipline seeks. CONCLUSION: Narrative Pedagogy and the growing literature describing how it is enacted provides a way for teachers and students to persist in questioning their current understanding of nursing, the ways they think about the situations they encounter, and how their practice can best be learned.

RESUMEN

The purpose of this qualitative study was to understand multiple stakeholder perspectives of new graduate (NG) transition programs. It was part of a larger mixed-methods study (2011) designed to provide a comprehensive assessment of new graduate nurse transition best practices, across six British Columbia health authorities. Data collection involved individual interviews with academic nurse educators (n=4) and separate focus groups with new graduate (n=48) and front-line nurse leaders (n=69). Disparity emerged as the overriding theme and described differences between stakeholder group perspectives, between expectations and reality, and within and across programs. Four disparities emerged: entry-level education and practice, perspectives on employment and career planning, transition program elements and support. Despite general satisfaction with undergraduate preparation, theory-practice gaps were identified. New Graduates experienced misalignments between their employment expectations and their realities. The employed student nurse program in which many new graduates had participated did not always yield employment, but when it did, differences in transitional expectations arose between new graduates and leaders. There was considerable variation across and within provincial new graduate programs with respect to orientation, supernumerary time and preceptorship characteristics, including lack of training. Disparities arose in the nature, amount of and access to support and the monitoring of new graduate progress. Findings reinforced organizational complexities and the importance of communication across education and practice sectors. This paper uncovers the tensions between the perspectives of new graduates and nurse leaders about transitional programs and opens the opportunity to collaborate in aligning the perspectives.

RESUMEN

Nursing's future depends on continuing to seek, create, and launch innovative nursing programs. Successful innovation can improve nursing education delivery and make optimal use of available resources while tapping into the imagination and creativity of faculty and students; in addition, it can create an optimistic environment and encourage beneficial change with the faculty and staff. Innovation has been described as an art, a process of diffusion, and a process of transforming ideas into real value. The purpose of this article is to explore the concepts surrounding innovation, steps in development of an innovation, and share pearls, perils, and lessons learned so that others can explore the process within their nursing education programs.

RESUMEN

The purpose of this pilot study was to assess the educational research currently conducted in U.S. schools of nursing. In this article, we describe the results from a small sample of schools of nursing (N = 21) and report the prevalence, type and level of funding for educational research, perceived barriers to developing and conducting rigorous programs of educational research in nursing, and support required. The respondents reported conducting primarily descriptive studies, most of which were underfunded, as well as a variety of barriers to conducting programs of educational research. The findings from this study provide some initial insights into the state of nursing education science in the United States. Despite the small sample, the findings affirm the paucity of research in nursing education and that the discipline must attend to the developmental needs of nurse researchers who study phenomena related to nursing education.
