The inclusion and representation of LGBTIQ+ content in undergraduate nurse education: A scoping review.

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this review was to gain an overview of existing empirical literature examining LGBTIQ+ content in undergraduate nursing curricula. DESIGN: An international scoping review was conducted using librarian assisted search strategies. DATA SOURCES: The databases CINAHL, SCOPUS and ERIC were searched. A total of 30 studies meeting the eligibility criteria were included in this review. REVIEW METHODS: Following a quality appraisal, thematic analysis was conducted to identify six key themes. RESULTS: 30 studies spanning 8 countries, across 5 continents were included in this review. 6 themes emerged 1) Level of Knowledge Regarding LGBTIQ+ People and Their Specific Health Needs, 2) Comfort and Preparedness in the Provision of Care to LGBTIQ+ People, 3) Attitudes Toward LGBTIQ+ People, 4) Inclusion of LGBTIQ+ Educational Content, 5) Framing of LGBTIQ+ Educational Content, 6) Pedagogical Strategies to Incorporate LGBTIQ+ Content. CONCLUSIONS: Nurse education is dominated by heteronormativity, deficit discourses, stereotypes, binary ideologies and western cultural perspectives. The body of literature surrounding LGBTIQ+ content in nurse education is largely quantitative, insular and contributes to the erasure of unique identities under the LGBTIQ+ umbrella.

Contributions of nursing students during their clinical practice in primary care: Adaptation and validation of a scale.

AIM: To adapt the 'Nursing Student Contributions to Clinical Settings' scale (CEEEC, Spanish acronym), designed for specialized care and to evaluate the validity and reliability of a measure in the primary health care setting. Additionally, a description of the contributions of nursing students to primary health care in Spain is presented, based on the perception of preceptor nurses. METHODS: A multicenter cross-sectional study was conducted in Spain, involving a committee of nursing experts who participated in a Delphi panel (n = 5) and cognitive interviews (n = 5) and a sample of nursing preceptors (n = 300) from 57 primary health care centers (2019-2020). The CEEEC was reviewed by experts for the conceptual semantic adequacy of the 24 items for its application in primary health care. Nurse preceptors' responses to the CEEEC scale were used to study the validity and reliability of the measure, including factor analysis, convergent validity with the Health Sciences-Evidence Based Practice scale and a matched test-retest over a three-week interval. RESULTS: According to the consensus of experts, the CEEEC scale is valid for primary health care with minimal modifications (change "patient" to "user"). Based on the analysis of responses to the scale, the corrected item-total correlations of the 24 items were ≥ 0.40 and were grouped into a single factor, explaining 46.3% of the variance. The Cronbach's alpha value was 0.95. Regarding convergent validity, there was a positive correlation between the CEEEC scale and the score of the Health Sciences-Evidence Based Practice scale (Pearson's coefficient= 0.33; p < 0.001). The overall intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.91. Finally, the mean CEEEC score was 61.9 points (range 0-96). The two most positive contributions were 'Nursing students enable nursing professionals to perform their teaching role' and 'Nursing students become future professionals who know the healthcare facility'. CONCLUSIONS: The CEEEC scale provides a valid and reliable measure of nursing students' contributions to primary health care. Nursing students' contributions to Spanish primary health care were positive, especially towards the nursing profession and healthcare organizations.

A virtual peer mentoring intervention for baccalaureate nursing students: A mixed-methods study.

BACKGROUND: Final-year baccalaureate nursing students can experience a significant amount of stress that negatively impacts their well-being, academic performance, and transition to professional practice. PURPOSE: This pilot study aimed to evaluate the impact of a Virtual Peer Mentoring (VPM) program using alumni mentors in addressing mental well-being, self-compassion, and professional development needs of final-year baccalaureate nursing students. METHODS: An explanatory sequential mixed-methods design was employed. The quantitative research used a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design and quantitative data was collected using three validated instruments to assess mental well-being and self-compassion. The qualitative research used an individual and focus group interview design. Twenty-three mentees and eight mentors participated in the VPM program during the 2018-2019 academic year. RESULTS: Quantitative results showed that while mental well-being and self-compassion scores improved post-intervention, the change was not statistically significant. Qualitative analysis uncovered new insights into the participants' experiences and revealed three categories: (1) Continuation of the Mentoring Relationship; (2) Growth as a Recipient of Mentorship; and (3) Continual Development by Being a Mentor. The categories illustrate how mentees perceived benefits to their professional socialization, academic expectations, and well-being while mentors similarly expressed enrichment with their personal growth and professional development as a result of VPM. CONCLUSION: VPM was well-received by participants and show promise in supporting nursing students to manage academic, practice, and socialization challenges. Both mentors and mentees described gaining mutual benefits and professional and personal growth.

Perioperative nursing education in Brazil: reviewing the past to survive the future / Educación de enfermería perioperatoria en Brasil: revisando el pasado para sobrevivir al futuro / Educação em enfermagem perioperatória no Brasil: rever o passado para sobreviver ao futuro

ABSTRACT Objectives: to summarize historical aspects related to perioperative nursing education in Brazil and to outline future perspectives. Methods: a descriptive-reflexive essay about the historical process of Brazilian perioperative teaching at undergraduate and graduate levels. Results: the reflection addresses the historical axes of perioperative nursing, teaching perioperative nursing, curriculum changes, graduate studies and relationship with the perioperative period and trends in perioperative nursing education. Curriculum changes reduced time available for teaching and learning, with a focus on the perioperative period, and diluted contents of surgical nursing in other subjects, which could cause irreversible losses for generalist nurses' training. Final Considerations: when reviewing historical aspects of national nursing curricula, it was found that the nomenclature perioperative nursing was never used in the curriculum, however, the surgical area has always been contemplated in undergraduate and graduate studies. Future trends indicate the need to integrate themes and prepare professionals with perspectives focused on global health and technology.

Effective online learning strategies for leadership and policy undergraduate courses for nursing students: a rapid review.

OBJECTIVES: Due to the importance of developing leadership competencies during nursing education, it is critical to make evidence-based decisions regarding the transformation from face-to-face to online delivery of leadership and policy courses for nursing students in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. This rapid review aims to identify effective learning strategies for creating online leadership and policy courses for undergraduate nursing students. DATA SOURCES AND REVIEW METHODS: A rapid review methodology was used. Searches in CINAHL and ERIC yielded 4112 records. After screening, seven articles were included. The Criteria for Describing and Evaluating Training Interventions in Healthcare Professions (CRe-DEPTH) tool was used for quality appraisal and data extraction. A narrative synthesis approach was used to summarize the data. RESULTS: The learning activities were heterogeneous in terms of content and format. Articles described the use of discussion forums, case studies, virtual clinical learning experiences, microblogging, and video clips. The methods of evaluation for these learning activities also varied greatly. CONCLUSION: The findings will act as a steppingstone to help develop an online undergraduate leadership and policy nursing course. This review also demonstrated the need for rigorous evaluation of learning activities. The use of a tool such as the CRe-DEPTH can help instructors plan and report on their learning interventions or courses.

Palliative and end-of-life care education in prelicensure nursing curricula: A nationwide survey in an Arab country.

BACKGROUND: In the Arab and Islamic world, data on palliative and end-of-life (PEOL) care education are minimal. OBJECTIVES: The current study's primary aim was to identify what PEOL care education is delivered to undergraduate nurses in Egypt and the teaching strategies used to deliver this education. A secondary aim was to assess the feasibility of using online surveys in nursing research in Egypt. DESIGN: This is a cross-sectional survey. SETTINGS: Ten randomly selected faculties of nursing across Egypt. PARTICIPANTS: Nursing educators who were working at three academic departments; Medical-Surgical Nursing, Critical Care Nursing, and Gerontological Nursing; in the participating faculties. METHODS: After face-to-face recruitment of participants, data were collected using an online questionnaire with an adjunctive use of paper questionnaires. The questionnaire assessed participants' and courses' characteristics, the inclusion of the PEOL Care Index content in the surveyed courses, and teaching strategies used to deliver this content. RESULTS: A total of 95 nursing educators were involved in the current study (response rate = 86.4%). All participants were female, and 87.4% responded via online questionnaires. The overall coverage of the PEOL care content ranged from 76% to 100%. End-of-life care and spiritual care were the least frequently reported PEOL care topics; on average, by 19.6% and 36% of the educators, respectively. Lecture was the most frequently used teaching strategy, followed by clinical field practice (mean percentages of utilization: 77.7% and 53.6%, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: In Egypt, most PEOL care topics are covered in undergraduate nursing curricula. Yet, educating these topics is predominantly theoretical. End-of-life care and spiritual care are the least frequently covered PEOL care topics. Online surveys are feasible for multisite curricular assessment, and this feasibility may be augmented by face-to-face recruitment of participants and adjunctive use of paper questionnaires.

Blended learning versus face-to-face learning in an undergraduate nursing health assessment course: A quasi-experimental study.

BACKGROUND: Blended learning, which integrates face-to-face and online instruction, is increasingly being adopted. A gap remains in the literature related to blended learning, self-efficacy, knowledge and perceptions in undergraduate nursing. OBJECTIVES: To investigate outcomes of self-efficacy, knowledge and perceptions related to the implementation of a newly blended course. DESIGN: This was a quasi-experimental pre-post test design. SETTING: This study was conducted at an undergraduate university in Alberta, Canada. PARTICIPANTS: A total of 217 second-year undergraduate nursing students participated and 187 participants completed all study components. METHODS: A convenience sampling method was used. Data were collected at the start and end of the semesters. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics using R(3.4.3) and R-Studio(1.1.423). RESULTS: There were no significant differences in self-efficacy scores between groups or in the pre-post surveys (p > 0.100) over time. There was no significant difference in knowledge between the blended online and face-to-face groups (p > 0.100). For students in the blended course, perceptions of the online learning environment were positive. CONCLUSION: Blended learning has the potential to foster innovative and flexible learning opportunities. This study supports continued use and evaluation of blended learning as a pedagogical approach.

Academic motivation scale - reliability and validity evidence among undergraduate nursing students / Escala de Motivação Acadêmica: evidências de validade e confiabilidade com estudantes de graduação em enfermagem / Escala de Motivación Académica: evidencias de validez y confiabilidad en estudiantes del curso de enfermería

Objective: to assess the evidence of validity and reliability of the academic motivation scale (AMS) based on the internal structure. Method: this is a methodological study with 205 undergraduate nursing students. Dimensionality/internal structure of the AMS was assessed using factor analysis in the context of exploratory structural equation modeling (ESEM) and reliability of the factors was assessed by Cronbach's alpha (α) coefficient and composite reliability (CR) coefficient. Results: acceptable fit indexes were obtained (CFI = 0.92; RMSEA = 0.07; SRMR = 0.06) for a three-dimensional model: intrinsic motivation (10 items; α = 0.84; CR = 0.86); extrinsic motivation (8 items; α = 0.84; CR = 0.90); and demotivation (4 items; α = 0.84; CR = 0.88). A significant correlational pattern was found for the motivation continuum. Conclusion: the dimensionality analysis for the AMS presented a model with three factors: intrinsic motivation, extrinsic motivation and demotivation, and was considered a reduced alternative to the original version of seven factors. This study helped assess the validity of the measurement instrument and its theory refinement; further studies should be conducted to assess its invariance property.

Objetivo: avaliar as evidências de validade e a confiabilidade da Escala de Motivação Acadêmica (EMA) com base na estrutura interna. Método: pesquisa metodológica realizada com 205 estudantes de graduação em Enfermagem. A dimensionalidade/estrutura interna da EMA foi avaliada por meio de análises fatoriais, no contexto de Modelagens de Equações Estruturais Exploratórias (ESEM) e a confiabilidade dos fatores foi aferida pelos coeficientes alfa de Cronbach (α) e Confiabilidade Composta (CC). Resultados: foram obtidos índices de ajuste aceitáveis (CFI = 0,92; RMSEA = 0,07; SRMR = 0,06) para um modelo tridimensional: Motivação Intrínseca (10 itens; α = 0,84; CC = 0,86); Motivação Extrínseca (08 itens; α = 0,84; CC = 0,90); e Desmotivação (04 itens; α = 0,84; CC = 0,88). Encontrou-se padrão correlacional significativo para o continuum de motivação. Conclusão: a análise da dimensionalidade da EMA alcançou um modelo de três fatores: Motivação Intrínseca, Motivação Extrínseca e Desmotivação, sendo considerada uma alternativa parcimoniosa à versão original de sete fatores. Este estudo contribuiu para a avaliação da validade do instrumento de medida e seu refinamento teórico, apontando a necessidade de que investigações futuras avaliem sua propriedade de invariância.

Construction of professional identity in nursing students: qualitative research from the historical-cultural perspective / A construção da identidade profissional em estudantes de enfermagem: pesquisa qualitativa na perspectiva histórico-cultural / La construcción de la identidad profesional en estudiantes de enfermería: investigación cualitativa en la perspectiva histórico-cultural

Objective: to analyze the process of professional identity construction in undergraduate nursing students during their education. Method: qualitative research, anchored in the Historical-Cultural framework. Twenty-three undergraduate nursing students took part. Data were collected through individual interviews, with a semi-structured script. Thematic Analysis was used to analyze the data. Results: the following four themes were obtained, "The subject in movement to become a nurse: from previous experiences to entering the courses"; "The nursing professor in the construction of the undergraduate's professional identity: a two-way mirror"; "Pedagogical relationship: instrument for constructing the student's professional identity" and "Historical-cultural conditions: space for the construction of the student's professional identity". Conclusion: the construction of the students' professional identity is limited to the material conditions of existence, translating appropriation to the intrapsychic scope of elements that occur, first, in the inter-psychological space of interactions. Nursing professors can become a paradoxical mirror, with one face to be imitated and the other, which materializes meanings of a model not to be followed. This construction is also influenced by the conditions of professional practice and university education.

Objetivo: analisar o processo de construção da identidade profissional de enfermeiro pelos estudantes de graduação em Enfermagem no percurso de sua formação. Método: pesquisa qualitativa, ancorada no referencial Histórico-Cultural. Participaram 23 estudantes da graduação em Enfermagem. Os dados foram coletados por entrevistas individuais, com roteiro semiestruturado. Para análise dos dados, utilizou-se a Análise Temática. Resultados: obtiveram-se quatro temas, "O sujeito em movimento de tornar-se enfermeiro: das experiências prévias ao ingresso no curso"; "O professor enfermeiro na construção da identidade profissional do graduando: dois sentidos do mesmo espelho"; "Relação pedagógica: instrumento para construção da identidade profissional do aluno" e "Condições histórico-culturais: espaço de construção da identidade profissional do aluno". Conclusão: a construção da identidade profissional dos alunos circunscreve-se às condições materiais de existência, traduz a apropriação para o âmbito intrapsíquico de elementos que se dão, primeiramente, no espaço interpsicológico das interações. Os professores enfermeiros podem se constituir espelho paradoxal, com uma face tomada para imitação, e outra que materializa significados de modelo a não ser seguido. Essa construção é também influenciada pelas condições do exercício profissional e da formação universitária.

Conclusión: la construcción de la identidad profesional de los estudiantes se limita a las condiciones materiales de existencia, traduciendo la apropiación al alcance intrapsíquico de elementos que ocurren, primero, en el espacio interpsicológico de interacciones. Los maestros de enfermería pueden convertirse en un espejo paradójico, con una frente que sirve de ejemplo, y la otra que materializa significados que indican un modelo que no se debe seguir. Esta construcción también está influenciada por las condiciones de la práctica profesional y la educación universitaria.

Undergraduate nursing students' experiences and attitudes towards working with patients with opioid use disorder in the clinical setting: A qualitative content analysis.

BACKGROUND: With the US facing an opioid epidemic, undergraduate nursing students are increasingly encountering patients with opioid use disorder in the clinical setting. Yet, nursing curriculums have not adapted to meet this need. Previous research indicates students are exposed to negative messages that might influence their views about patients with opioid use disorder. OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to examine nursing students' experiences encountering patients with opioid use disorder in the clinical setting, their attitudes about their encounters, and their perceptions of their educational preparedness to care for this population. METHOD: Purposive sampling was used to identify participants. Semi-structured interviews were conducted until saturation. Krippendorff's method for qualitative content analysis was used to cluster units within the data to identify emergent themes. PARTICIPANTS: Eleven senior nursing students from a public university in New England participated. RESULTS: Analysis revealed six themes, including: navigating ethical dilemmas, gaining comfort with time and experience, avoiding the "elephant in the room," learning from real-world scenarios, witnessing discriminatory care, and recognizing bias and stigma. CONCLUSIONS: Students were most likely to experience bias and internal conflict in maternity clinical rotations. Education should include practical communication strategies to reduce avoidance behaviors among nursing students as well as techniques to manage difficult situations and reduce moral distress. Nurses must be mindful of their power to influence students and should model non-judgmental language and behavior. Students ultimately expressed a desire to provide informed and empathetic care.

A Content Analysis of Disaster Nursing Education in Korean and Japanese Universities

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to analyze the contents of disaster nursing education at universities in Korea and Japan, with focus on textbooks. METHODS: Disaster nursing contents from 11 Korean community health nursing textbooks and 3 Japanese disaster nursing textbooks were analysed. RESULTS: Three themes and 8 categories of disaster nursing content in the selected textbooks were analyzed. The themes classified include ‘understanding of disaster’, ‘disaster management’ and ‘disaster management system’. The theme of ‘understanding of disaster’ consists of such categories as ‘disaster concept/outline’, ‘classification of disaster’, ‘disaster management step’ and ‘disaster impact’. The theme of ‘disaster management activities’ consists of categories such as ‘disaster management activities’ and ‘disaster nursing’. The theme of ‘national disaster management system’ consists of categories like ‘national disaster management system’ and ‘international disaster relief’. From the comparison of disaster nursing education in the two countries, we found that themes were similar but there were differences between the two countries in content configuration. Korea and Japan have adopted the framework of International Council of Nurses for disaster nursing education. Korea stressed legal and ethical capabilities, while Japan included psychological support for disaster management service providers. CONCLUSION: Disaster education is an important factor in a nurse's ability for a disaster management. Development of a comprehensive disaster education program is necessary to enhance disaster care capacities.

Attitudes of nursing students toward to the suicidal behavior / Atitudes de estudantes de enfermagem relacionadas ao comportamento suicida / Actitudes de estudiantes de enfermería relacionadas al comportamiento suicida

ABSTRACT Objective: to investigate attitudes related to suicidal behavior and associated factors, among students in the last year of an undergraduate nursing course. Methods: a cross-sectional study with 111 nursing students from a Brazilian educational institution. The data were collected in 2017, by self-administration of a questionnaire with sociodemographic characteristics, and the Suicide Behavior Attitude Questionnaire, which were analyzed by descriptive statistics, comparison of means, and correlation tests. Results: most of the nursing students had contact with someone with suicidal behavior, but did not have education related to the subject. The most negative attitudes were associated with the female sex, lack of materials on suicide prevention, and lower self-perception of professional competence. Suicidal thoughts throughout life were associated with the contact with someone with suicidal behavior, and less moralistic/condemnatory attitudes. Conclusion: investigations and interventions are necessary for academic qualification and prevention of suicidal behavior.

RESUMO Objetivo: investigar, entre estudantes do último ano de enfermagem, as atitudes relacionadas ao comportamento suicida e fatores associados. Método: estudo transversal com 111 estudantes de enfermagem de uma instituição de ensino brasileira. Os dados foram coletados em 2017, pela autoaplicação de um questionário sociodemográfico e do Questionário de Atitudes Frente ao Comportamento Suicida, e foram analisados por estatística descritiva, testes de comparação de média e correlação. Resultados: a maioria dos estudantes de enfermagem teve contato com alguém com comportamento suicida, mas não teve exposição educacional relacionada ao assunto. As atitudes mais negativas foram associadas ao sexo feminino: não ler materiais sobre prevenção do suicídio e menor autopercepção de competência profissional. Pensamentos suicidas foram associados ao contato com alguém com comportamento suicida e às atitudes menos moralistas/condenatórias. Conclusão: são necessárias investigações e intervenções para qualificação acadêmica e prevenção do comportamento suicida.

Exploring the paradox: A cross-sectional study of academic dishonesty among Australian nursing students.

BACKGROUND: Universities' responsibility to ensure academic integrity is frustrated by software and communication tools that facilitate content reuse coupled with a growing international essay writing economy. A wide range of behaviours constitute academic dishonesty and while a complex phenomenon to examine, existing evidence suggests that there is sufficient proliferation (both in volume and variety) of these behaviours among Australian university students to warrant concern. This proliferation presents faculty and staff with new challenges in ensuring academic integrity. OBJECTIVES: This paper reports findings of a nationwide cross-sectional survey of 361 students enrolled in an Australian nursing degree program and describes the extent of academic dishonesty among those surveyed. DESIGN: An online survey adapted from previous work was used to collect data on academic dishonesty, professional dishonesty and social desirability bias. Analysis of this data enabled identification of the prevalence of dishonesty, relationships between individual characteristics and dishonest behaviours, associations between academic and professional dishonesty, and the impact of deterrents to such behaviour. RESULTS: Plagiarism was the most frequently reported form of academic misconduct. Most participants indicated that threat of severe punishment and signing of verification statements would deter undesirable academic behaviour. Despite this, a relatively high proportion of students reported engaging in at least one form of academic misconduct, the likelihood of which was higher among younger age groups. Of concern was that a correlation was found between academic and professional misconduct, the most common being the recording of inaccurate or fabricated vital signs and breaching client privacy. CONCLUSION: In health professional education, there is a tendency to assume that the nobility of these disciplines would result in a lower incidence of cheating behaviours. The findings of this study support existing literature that refutes this assumption. This study found troubling rates of academic and professional misconduct among the surveyed population.

Abstract Objective: To identify the performance and perception of nursing students on the progression test, and to verify the existence of a relationship between performance and the current series, and between the performance and the degree of difficulty of the test. Methods: This was a descriptive study with a quantitative approach. An instrument was administered with socio-demographic information, classification of the degree of the test difficulty, and two questions about the advantages and disadvantages of the progression test. Results: The population consisted of 78 students. The mean age was 24.4 years, with a predominance of females (89.7%). The students, who classified the test as easy, showed higher performance (p = 0.036), the second-year students stood out in relation to the first-one (p = 0.014). The advantage stated was, test content 32.0%, progression and performance 25.7%, multiple choice questions 23.1%, and preparation for competitive entrance examinations 7.7%. The disadvantages were: 39.7% were very extensive, 26.9% lack of knowledge, 15.3% stated inadequate thematic content and structure, and insufficient time to complete the test for 6.4%. Conclusion: The progression test evaluates, longitudinally, the student's performance, identifies curricular strengths and weaknesses, and evaluates the institution. As one of the assessment instruments in use of active teaching methodologies, its applicability should be encouraged in undergraduate courses.
