Clinic based learning, which forms the basis of the nursing education program, is one of the most stressful situations in nursing students. One of the ways of guiding the students at the clinic is mentoring, which is one of the methods to reduce the stress of the student nurses in the clinical learning environment. This study aims to determine the effect of mentoring on the clinical stress levels of nursing students who have been practicing for the first time. This study, designed as quasi-experimental, was conducted with a total of 124 nursing students who were studying in the first grade (n: 105) and third grade (n: 19) nursing departments of a university.  The data of the study were collected using  the "Personal Information Form" and "Clinical Stress Questionnaire" (CSQ). Ethical committee approval for the research and written permission from the university where the research was conducted were taken.  Number, percentage, mean, t test and t test for dependent groups were used in the analysis of the study. It was determined that the students who participated in the research had a mean age of 19.0 ± 0.83, 81% of them were female students, 64.8% were willing to nursing department and 29.5% were working with mentor. The mean total clinical stress score of students was 37.84±8.48 before clinical application and 34.61±9.42 after clinical application. it was found that the post-implementation clinical stress average score ( post test = 34.14) was lower than the pre-test clinical stress average score ( pre test = 38.14).  The clinical stress level total score (31.06 ± 11.36) of the students working with mentor was found to be statistically significantly (p<0.05) lower than the clinical stress level total score (35.90 ± 10.58) of students working without mentor. 87.1% of the students stated that they are satisfied with the mentoring.It was determined that working with the mentor was effective in reducing the clinical stress levels of the nursing students who were for the first time in clinical practice. It is suggested that use the mentoring application to reduce the clinical application stress of the nursing first grader students.Extended English summary is in the end of Full Text PDF (TURKISH) file. ÖzetHemşirelik eğitim programının temelini oluşturan kliniğe dayalı öğrenme hemşirelik öğrencilerinde en çok stres yaratan durumlar arasında yer almaktadır. Öğrencilere klinikte rehber olma yollarında biri olan mentorlük uygulaması, klinik öğrenme ortamında öğrenci hemşirelerin stresini azaltan yöntemler arasındadır. Bu çalışma, ilk defa klinik uygulama deneyimi yaşayan hemşirelik birinci sınıf öğrencilerinin klinik stres düzeyleri üzerinde mentörlük uygulamasının etkisini belirlenmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Yarı deneysel olarak tasarlanan bu çalışma, bir üniversitenin hemşirelik bölümü birinci (n:105) ve üçüncü (n:19) sınıfta öğrenim gören toplam 124 öğrenci hemşire ile gerçekleştirildi. Araştırmanın verileri “Kişisel Bilgi Formu” ve “Klinik Stres Anketi” (KSA) kullanılarak toplandı. Çalışma için etik kurul onamı ve araştırmanın yapıldığı kurumdan yazılı izin alındı. Araştırmanın analizinde sayı, yüzde, ortalama, t testi ve bağımlı gruplar için t testi kullanıldı. Araştırmaya katılan öğrencilerin yaş ortalamalarının 19.0±0.83 olduğu, %81’inin kız öğrenci, %64.8’inin hemşirelik bölümüne isteyerek geldiği ve %29.5’inin de mentor ile çalıştığı belirlenmiştir. Öğrencilerin toplam klinik stres puan ortalaması, klinik uygulamadan önce 37.84±8.48 iken, klinik uygulama sonrası 34.61±9.42 olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Öğrencilerin klinik uygulama sonrası, klinik stres ortalama puanın ( sontest =34.14), uygulama öncesi klinik stres ortalama puanından (( öntest =38.14) daha düşük olduğu belirlenmiştir. Mentör ile çalışan öğrencilerin klinik stres düzeyi toplam puanının (31.06±11.36), mentör ile çalışmayan öğrencilerin klinik stres düzeyi toplam puan (35.90±10.58) ortalamasına göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı (p<0.05) şekilde daha düşük olduğu belirlenmiştir. Öğrencilerin %87.1’i mentörlük uygulamasından memnun olduklarını belirtmişlerdir. Bu çalışma sonucunda, ilk defa klinik uygulama deneyimi yaşayan öğrenci hemşirelerde, klinik uygulamada mentör öğrenci ile birlikte çalışmanın klinik stres düzeyini azaltmada etkili olduğu belirlenmiştir. Hemşirelik birinci sınıf öğrencilerinin klinik uygulama stresini azaltmada mentorlük uygulamasının kullanması önerilir.

High Competence

Professional nurses could be prepared through professional nursing programs. Professional nursing program is part of the nursing education program. One of the competencies required to be professional nurses is implementing evidence-based practice (EBP) to explore the best nursing interventions for patients to get optimal outcome. Nursing students have learned EBP during bachelor degree by analysis case using the EBP method. However, evaluation related  students' understanding of the method and its application of EBP to the clinical practice was none. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship of knowledge with student competency in the implementation of evidence based practice (EBP) to managed patients in the medical surgical nursing stage. This research is quantitative research. The sample in this study was 120 nursing students who were at professional nursing program that were recruited using total sampling technique. The instrument used is the Evidence Based Practice Questionnaire (EBPQ) questionnaire. The results showed that more than half of the respondents had high knowledge (68%), and high competence (49%). This study shows a meaningful relationship between knowledge of student competence in applying EBP (r = .6070, p <0.01). The findings of this study are important for recommendations related to developing teaching materials in nursing education related to for providing the best service for patients.

Abstract Introduction Depression is prevalent among nursing students. Rumination and sleep-wake rhythms are associated to mental illness; however, no clear path has been found. This exploratory study aimed to examine the associations among circadian activity rhythms (CAR), rumination, and depressive symptoms in female nursing students; further, to test a hypothesized CAR conceptual model. Methods A total of 148 female nursing junior students in China completed a battery of questionnaires, including Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS), Ruminative Responses Scale (RRS), and Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS). Wrist actigraphy was used to collect total sleep time, CAR, and acrophase (time of the peak of the fitted activity curve). The path analysis was explored by using SPSS and AMOS. Results The mean age of the students was 20.64 years (SD = 0.86). About 58.8% of the participants were either mild or moderate depressed. About 93.9% of the students reported significant insomnia symptoms (AIS scores &gt;6). Rumination was measured by the RRS (M= 2.01, SD = 0.54), and students scored higher in brooding than that of reflective pondering (2.07 vs. 1.95). The average of TST was 394.59 minutes (SD = 51.92). The CAR ranged from 0.40 to 0.98, with a mean of 0.75 (SD = 0.11). The acrophase ranged from 12:46 to 20:14 (median 16:30), with a later acrophase indicates of a more delayed circadian phase. The final model shows satisfactory fit (χ2= 2.238, p= .327); a better CAR can indirectly reduce depressive symptoms by directly reducing brooding (B = -1.149) and improving insomnia symptoms (B = -6.6443). Conclusion In order to prevent psychological problems of nursing students, ruminating and CAR should be part of health screening. The novel conceptual model provides a basis for reforming nursing education to prevent psychological problems. Support (if any) Chinese National Natural Science Foundation [71603279]

Abstract Background Despite the advantages of using active learning strategies in nursing education, researchers have rarely investigated how such pedagogic approaches can be used to assess students or how interactive examinations can be modified depending on circumstances of practice (e.g., in online education). Aims The aim was to compare three interactive examination designs, all based on active learning pedagogy, in terms of nursing students’ engagement and preparedness, their learning achievement, and instructional aspects. Methods A comparative research design was used including final-year undergraduate nursing students. All students were enrolled in a quality improvement course at a metropolitan university in Sweden. In this comparative study to evaluate three course layouts, participants (Cohort 1, n = 89; Cohort 2, n = 97; Cohort 3, n = 60) completed different examinations assessing the same course content and learning objectives, after which they evaluated the examinations on a questionnaire in numerical and free-text responses. Chi-squared tests were conducted to compare background variables between the cohorts and Kruskal–Wallis H tests to assess numerical differences in experiences between cohorts. Following the guidelines of the Good Reporting of a Mixed Methods Study (GRAMMS), a sequential mixed-methods analysis was performed on the quantitative findings, and the qualitative findings were used complementary to support the interpretation of the quantitative results. Results The 246 students who completed the questionnaire generally appreciated the interactive examination in active learning classrooms. Among significant differences in the results, Cohort 2 (e.g., conducted the examination on campus) scored highest for overall positive experience and engagement, whereas Cohort 3 (e.g., conducted the examination online) scored the lowest. Students in Cohort 3 generally commended the online examination’s chat function available for use during the examination. Conclusions Interactive examinations for nursing students succeed when they are campus-based, focus on student preparation, and provide the necessary time to be completed.

Community Dwelling Older Adults

Abstract Few nursing students show preference in working with older adults. The purpose of this study was to review the U.S. nursing education evidence-based literature to determine curricula innovation to positively influence preference for working with older adults. CINAHL, Medline, Ovid Emcare, PsychInfo, and PubMed databases were searched for relevant U.S studies published between 2009 and 2020 using the search terms “nursing students”, “geriatrics OR gerontology OR older adults OR elderly OR aging”, “career OR work”, and “choice OR preference OR attitude”. Nine studies were eligible for inclusion. Nursing education may play a role in influencing how students perceive and prefer to work with older adults. Promising interventions include stand-alone gerontology courses, intergenerational service-learning experiences, and clinical experiences with community dwelling older adults. More evidence-based research with larger sample sizes are needed to determine effective nursing education interventions to improve nursing students’ attitude and preference for working with older adults.
