Book excerpt: The purpose of this transcendental phenomenological study was to record the lived experiences of nursing students with learning disabilities while in the clinical learning environment. Dewey’s theory of education and Knowles’ theory of adult learning were used to ground this study. Their theories provided a foundation to understand how the learning process is affected in nursing students with learning disabilities in the clinical learning environment. The study answered the following research questions: (a) What are the lived experiences of student nurses with learning disabilities in the clinical learning setting? (b) How are nursing students impacted by their learning disability during clinical learning experiences? (c) What are perceived obstacles that hinder nursing students with learning disabilities during clinical learning experiences? and (d) What are reasonable accommodations or solutions for students with learning disabilities during clinical learning experiences? Data collection for this study included student interviews, audio memos of the students’ descriptions of their lived experiences, and analysis of documents. Data was analyzed and coded using Moustakas’ (1994) transcendental phenomenological model and revealed the themes of negative emotions, disclosure, hands-on, negative faculty members, difficulties/obstacles, and determination. Implications for schools of nursing, nursing faculties, and nursing students with learning disabilities are discussed, and recommendations for areas of future research are included.

Book excerpt: One-fifth of Americans live in rural areas, and represent an increasingly diverse population; simultaneously, these regions have reduced access to physicians, placing greater emphasis on the social justice of health care, and the importance of nurse practitioners as primary providers. Due to their geographic isolation, securing additional training from graduate schools presents a challenge for nurses residing in such areas, meaning they may utilize distance education in achieving those goals. Synchronous-blended distance programs mix distance students, who attend virtually using telecommuting hardware and software, with traditional, in-seat students. Unfortunately, when blending virtual and physical classrooms, the distance student---held hostage by technological and two-dimensional shortcomings---is relegated to an Other. This experience of Being Flat People is a unique issue within distance education. While quantitative research suggests social and cognitive interaction is key to successful distance education, there is scant qualitative work examining learners' perceptions of distance experiences in synchronous-blended settings: classroom social status; cognitive presence; transactional distance; and emotional classroom connectedness. This dissertation is a transcendental phenomenological investigation of how eight graduate nursing students perceived their experiences as distance students in synchronous-blended learning environments. It employs a philosophical lens of normative belonging in evaluating the status of distance students in these classes, and the study reveals conflicting feelings about being "there, but not there," technological barriers, support systems, and the importance of independence. Finally, it presents a model, the Transactional Continuum, as a next step for understanding and improving the experiences of distance students in medical education and beyond.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Higher education has begun experiencing a rise in the enrollment of students with learning disabilities. The impact of this increase is also extending to nursing programs as nursing faculty report a significant increase in the enrollment of nursing students with disabilities. As a caring profession, nursing has traditionally appreciated uniqueness in order to promote health and holistic care to patients, and this caring should translate in the educational sphere with regard to student nurses with learning disabilities. The purpose of this research was to explore the lived experience of nursing students with learning disabilities. Through the use of the critical disability theory (CDT) as a guiding framework, this phenomenological study sought to find truth in the lived experience of these students. The findings revealed an overarching theme of spiraling anxiety with three sub-themes of isolation, a fear of failure and being labeled. The results include recommendations for nursing schools, such as establishing a dedicated faculty member as a liaison for students bridging previous educational experiences to nursing education, and its programs. Lastly, a recommendation was madefor nursing schools to explore any incongruencies in its program mission and values and in educating students with learning disabilities.

This book was released on 2022 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this transcendental phenomenological study was to examine the lived experiences of students after failing a nursing course, resulting in the students either sitting out a semester prior to repeating the course or making the decision not to return to a program at all. The central research question for this study was “what are the lived experiences of students who fail a nursing course?” This study retrospectively examined the failure of nursing students to better understand how they processed the event, gained meaning from the experience, and found supportive measures that were useful in moving forward to the next step in their educational journey. The theories guiding this study were Knowles’ adult learning theory and Bandura’s social learning theory, with a nod to Frankl’s theory of meaning making. Participants consisted of 12-15 adult students accepted to an associate degree nursing program in the southeastern United States who failed a nursing course with a D or F. One-on-one interviews and focus small group sessions were conducted in a private conference room at a joint community college center that serves students from three different higher education institutions. Participants were also asked to write a letter of support or advice for a future student experiencing the phenomenon to gain further insight in how they survived the failure, gained meaning from the experience, and were able to move forward following the academic set-back. Data analysis was conducted using van Manen’s thematic analysis to discover the participants’ lived experience following failing a nursing course.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clinical learning experiences are important opportunities for nursing students in that they gather and synthesize data of patients’ conditions, provide appropriate nursing interventions, and evaluate patient outcomes, applying their knowledge and skills learned from the classroom in real practice. In order to ensure quality clinical learning for nursing students, it is vital to hear the voices of nursing students on how they experience clinical learning, particularly with regards to clinical data use. This qualitative, exploratory approach was conducted, using descriptive phenomenology as the philosophical framework, through in-depth interviews with eighteen junior and senior baccalaureate nursing students at a large, public university in Texas. The interview data were analyzed according to Colaizzi’s method of descriptive phenomenological data analysis. Theme 1: Help Wanted was revealed in descriptions of needing or wanting help with using clinical data. Theme 2: Making Sense, included descriptions about ways that clinical data make sense and ways that clinical data assisted students in making sense in both clinical and classroom. Theme 3: Recognizing Usefulness emerged from descriptions of how clinical data was used or could be used. Participant descriptions of how clinical data in clinical rotations was related to communication illuminated Theme 4: Engaging in Communication. Descriptions of the impact of the assigned nurse on student experiences with using clinical data in clinical rotations resulted in the emergence of Theme 5: Nurse as Key Player. Lastly, Theme 6: Emotionally Charged, emerged from descriptions about emotional experiences related to experiences of clinical data use in clinical rotations. The thematic findings were reduced according to Colaizzi’s method, resulting in an exhaustive statement of description, and a descriptive statement of identification of the phenomenon of interest. The findings may be used to assist nurse educators in developing effective ways to help students use clinical data for effective clinical learning. Suggestions to achieve this aim include improved orientation for educators and nursing staff and emotional support for students. Policy development to address barriers to effective clinical learning and the development of the future nursing workforce remains an important strategy for supporting nursing students and their preparation for entry into professional nursing practice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nursing education is in the midst of change as it relates to current clinical education approaches. In the United States, numerous nursing boards have restructured their clinical guidelines for licensure to include high-fidelity patient simulation as an acceptable form of clinical education. In response to these educational changes, a thorough review of the literature was performed and revealed a gap related to student outcomes when combining traditional clinical education and high-fidelity patient simulation during clinical courses. The purpose of this qualitative study was to provide a richer understanding of how a student's clinical education impacts his or her educational experiences. Through a phenomenological approach, I examined the lived experiences of 12 nursing students who had completed a medical-surgical clinical course. Data was analyzed utilizing Moustakas' (1994) seven steps of data analysis and revealed six themes to include (a) collaboration/team approach, (b) confidence, (c) influence of the instructor, (d) observation, (e) realism, and (f) reflection. Results of this phenomenological study are timely as states across the nation are considering substantial changes to their clinical education guidelines and policies.

Download or read book Phenomenology as Qualitative Research written by John Paley and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-08-12 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Phenomenology originated as a novel way of doing philosophy early in the twentieth century. In the writings of Husserl and Heidegger, regarded as its founders, it was a non-empirical kind of philosophical enquiry. Although this tradition has continued in a variety of forms, ‘phenomenology’ is now also used to denote an empirical form of qualitative research (PQR), especially in health, psychology and education. However, the methods adopted by researchers in these disciplines have never been subject to detailed critical analysis; nor have the methods advocated by methodological writers who are regularly cited in the research literature. This book examines these methods closely, offering a detailed analysis of worked-through examples in three influential textbooks by Giorgi, van Manen, and Smith, Flowers and Larkin. Paley argues that the methods described in these texts are radically under-specified, and suggests alternatives to PQR as an approach to qualitative research, particularly the use of interview data in the construction of models designed to explain phenomena rather than merely describe or interpret them. This book also analyses, and aims to develop, the implicit theory of ‘meaning’ found in PQR writings. The author establishes an account of ‘meaning’ as an inference marker, and explores the methodological implications of this view. This book evaluates the methods used in phenomenology-as-qualitative-research, and formulates a more fully theorised alternative. It will appeal to researchers and students in the areas of health, nursing, psychology, education, public health, sociology, anthropology, political science, philosophy and logic.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Language MOOCs (or LMOOCs) are dedicated Web-based online courses for second languages with unrestricted access and potentially unlimited participation. They are generating interest and expectation in the contexts of university education, lifelong learning and online training in general. This pioneering book presents an initial analysis of the theoretical and methodological issues underlying LMOOCs and presents empirical evidence of their potential for the development of language communicative competences, based upon previously unpublished research. It provides a mosaic-like view of LMOOC research, not only with respect to the geographical and institutional origin of its authors, but also to the heterogeneous nature of their respective academic backgrounds, and suggests directions for future development. As in other types of online language courses, the integration of the results of multidisciplinary research projects and teaching experiences related to LMOOCs is fundamental to make the field advance steadily and respond to some of the real challenges and problems faced by individuals working and living in competitive plurilingual societies today.
