RESUMEN
ABSTRACT: Caring is a fundamental professional nursing value. This study examined the effect of the clinical learning environment (CLE) on nursing students' caring behaviors during the COVID-19 pandemic. Valuing nursing work in the CLE increased the knowledge and skills aspect of caring behavior. Higher CLE scores in affordances and engagement and student centeredness increased the respectful deference of others and positive connectedness aspects of caring behaviors. These results may inform efforts to promote aspects of nursing students' caring behaviors during global health emergencies by enhancing the value of nursing work, engagement, and student-focused qualities of the CLE.

BACKGROUND: Limited evidence exists on factors influencing nursing students' sleep quality during clinical practicums. PURPOSE: This study examined the sleep quality of nursing students and factors that affect sleep quality during clinical practicums. METHODS: Undergraduate nursing students (n = 135) enrolled in clinical practicums in 3 universities completed questionnaires including sociodemographics and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Stepwise linear regression evaluated factors predicating sleep quality. RESULTS: Seventy percent of nursing students reported poor sleep quality. Weekly work hours and clinical hours were significant factors in predicting global PSQI scores, subjective sleep quality, sleep duration, sleep efficiency, and daytime dysfunctions. The students' race was related to sleep latency and sleeping medication. Clinical hours and living on campus were associated with sleep disturbances. CONCLUSION: Knowing the factors that influence nursing students' sleep during clinical practicums, nurse educators can help students improve sleep health and clinical experience.

Human chromosome 12 contains more than 1,400 coding genes and 487 loci that have been directly implicated in human disease. The q arm of chromosome 12 contains one of the largest blocks of linkage disequilibrium found in the human genome. Here we present the finished sequence of human chromosome 12, which has been finished to high quality and spans approximately 132 megabases, representing approximately 4.5% of the human genome. Alignment of the human chromosome 12 sequence across vertebrates reveals the origin of individual segments in chicken, and a unique history of rearrangement through rodent and primate lineages. The rate of base substitutions in recent evolutionary history shows an overall slowing in hominids compared with primates and rodents.

AIM: The aim is to explore literature on the influence of the clinical learning environment on caring behaviors of undergraduate nursing students. BACKGROUND: Caring is a fundamental aspect of nursing practice. However, factors of and in clinical learning environment that help shape the caring behaviors of nursing students as part of their education journey remain understudied. DESIGN: A modified version of Cooper's five-stage integrative review method was used. METHODS: Four databases (Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health, PubMed, Scopus and Embase) were searched for research studies published from 2011 to 2021 in peer reviewed journals, written in English and addressing caring behaviors among nursing students in the clinical learning environment. A combination of keywords with Boolean operators was used including: "nursing students OR nursing undergraduates OR student nurses" and "clinical learning environment" AND "caring behaviors". Reporting followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses statement guidelines. RESULTS: Empirical evidence was drawn from 11 studies including seven qualitative designs, three quantitative designs and one mixed method design. The results of this review suggest that factors in the clinical learning environment influence nursing students' ability to develop caring behaviors. Specifically, the five themes of: [1] role modeling of clinical faculty and professional nurses, [2] creating a conducive clinical learning environment, [3] effective communication skills, [4] positive effect of simulation and [5] alternative clinical placements may facilitate the development of caring behaviors among nursing students. CONCLUSION: The findings highlight the factors in the clinical learning environment that influence nursing students' caring behaviors. Improving students' clinical learning experiences and implementing more effective role modeling and teaching strategies may advance their caring abilities. The information generated from this review provides evidence on how to enhance the clinical learning environment to develop students' caring behaviors, subsequently leading to more optimal patient outcomes.
