Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is estimated that over 30,000 applicants to registered nursing (RN) programs are turned away each year following a rigorous selection process for the limited available program admissions. An alarming number of those students who are accepted and enter upper division programs and depart prior to completion do so because of increased stress and anxiety experienced during clinical activities. Attrition occurs when students repeatedly experience levels of stress and anxiety and feel they have reached a breaking point. Self-efficacy impacts the amount of stress and anxiety an individual can tolerate before encountering negative outcome expectations. The theoretical framework for this study was underpinned by Bandura's (1995) theory of self-efficacy. A multi-case study approach and cross-case analysis was utilized to identify if a link existed between simulation and self-efficacy. Beginning nursing students engaged in a simulated clinical experience prior to the initial acute care clinical experience. Nursing students discoursed about physical and sociostructual influences on agency and environment related to self-efficacy and negative affective behaviors. Based upon students' discourse, this study supports a link does exist between simulation and self-efficacy for beginning nursing students.

Download or read book Health Promotion in Health Care Vital Theories and Research written by Gørill Haugan and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-03-11 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access textbook represents a vital contribution to global health education, offering insights into health promotion as part of patient care for bachelor’s and master’s students in health care (nurses, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, radiotherapists, social care workers etc.) as well as health care professionals, and providing an overview of the field of health science and health promotion for PhD students and researchers. Written by leading experts from seven countries in Europe, America, Africa and Asia, it first discusses the theory of health promotion and vital concepts. It then presents updated evidence-based health promotion approaches in different populations (people with chronic diseases, cancer, heart failure, dementia, mental disorders, long-term ICU patients, elderly individuals, families with newborn babies, palliative care patients) and examines different health promotion approaches integrated into primary care services. This edited scientific anthology provides much-needed knowledge, translating research into guidelines for practice. Today’s medical approaches are highly developed; however, patients are human beings with a wholeness of body-mind-spirit. As such, providing high-quality and effective health care requires a holistic physical-psychological-social-spiritual model of health care is required. A great number of patients, both in hospitals and in primary health care, suffer from the lack of a holistic oriented health approach: Their condition is treated, but they feel scared, helpless and lonely. Health promotion focuses on improving people’s health in spite of illnesses. Accordingly, health care that supports/promotes patients’ health by identifying their health resources will result in better patient outcomes: shorter hospital stays, less re-hospitalization, being better able to cope at home and improved well-being, which in turn lead to lower health-care costs. This scientific anthology is the first of its kind, in that it connects health promotion with the salutogenic theory of health throughout the chapters. the authors here expand the understanding of health promotion beyond health protection and disease prevention. The book focuses on describing and explaining salutogenesis as an umbrella concept, not only as the key concept of sense of coherence.

Book excerpt: Psychomotor nursing skills are a fundamental part of curricula for all schools of nursing no matter the degree level of the program. Demands placed on schools to produce a generalist nurse with the ability to safely practice in the clinical setting is high. There is no standard method of teaching or evaluation regarding psychomotor nursing skills, and there is much room for studies to demonstrate best practice. On top of the already mentioned high demands placed on schools of nursing are the demands of content-saturated nursing curricula on the students. Nursing students are placed under stress-producing situations that create high levels of anxiety. Schools expect students to perform at very high levels and to demonstrate competency of skills learned in a practicum setting. There is a need for best practice in teaching and evaluating psychomotor nursing skills. There is also a need for experienced faculty to teach the skills. The purpose of this exploratory study was to evaluate student levels of self-efficacy in the performance of psychomotor nursing skills after implementation of the learning strategy self-directed simulation. Self-directed simulation is a strategy created by the researcher in response to students' level of anxiety and uses theoretical knowledge of ways to decrease student anxiety and increase learning and retention. Self-efficacy was measured in 94 students from a Midwestern school of nursing who were enrolled in a fundamentals of nursing course. Additionally, the researcher conducted 14 qualitative interviews to further investigate the self-directed simulation strategy, self-efficacy, and learning.

This book was released on 2018-03-20 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Simulations are frequently used techniques for training, performance assessment, and prediction of future outcomes. In this thesis, the term “human-centered simulation” is used to refer to any simulation in which humans and human cognition are integral to the simulation’s function and purpose (e.g., simulation-based training). A general problem for human-centered simulations is to capture the cognitive processes and activities of the target situation (i.e., the real world task) and recreate them accurately in the simulation. The prevalent view within the simulation research community is that cognition is internal, decontextualized computational processes of individuals. However, contemporary theories of cognition emphasize the importance of the external environment, use of tools, as well as social and cultural factors in cognitive practice. Consequently, there is a need for research on how such contemporary perspectives can be used to describe human-centered simulations, re-interpret theoretical constructs of such simulations, and direct how simulations should be modeled, designed, and evaluated. This thesis adopts distributed cognition as a framework for studying human-centered simulations. Training and assessment of emergency medical management in a Swedish context using the Emergo Train System (ETS) simulator was adopted as a case study. ETS simulations were studied and analyzed using the distributed cognition for teamwork (DiCoT) methodology with the goal of understanding, evaluating, and testing the validity of the ETS simulator. Moreover, to explore distributed cognition as a basis for simulator design, a digital re-design of ETS (DIGEMERGO) was developed based on the DiCoT analysis. The aim of the DIGEMERGO system was to retain core distributed cognitive features of ETS, to increase validity, outcome reliability, and to provide a digital platform for emergency medical studies. DIGEMERGO was evaluated in three separate studies; first, a usefulness, usability, and facevalidation study that involved subject-matter-experts; second, a comparative validation study using an expert-novice group comparison; and finally, a transfer of training study based on self-efficacy and management performance. Overall, the results showed that DIGEMERGO was perceived as a useful, immersive, and promising simulator – with mixed evidence for validity – that demonstrated increased general self-efficacy and management performance following simulation exercises. This thesis demonstrates that distributed cognition, using DiCoT, is a useful framework for understanding, designing and evaluating simulated environments. In addition, the thesis conceptualizes and re-interprets central constructs of human-centered simulation in terms of distributed cognition. In doing so, the thesis shows how distributed cognitive processes relate to validity, fidelity, functionality, and usefulness of human-centered simulations. This thesis thus provides a new understanding of human-centered simulations that is grounded in distributed cognition theory.

Book excerpt: This book describes and discusses a practice-oriented approach to understanding and researching interprofessional simulation-based education and simulation. It provides empirical findings from research on this topic and is informed by practice-oriented perspectives. It identifies critical features of the simulation practice and discusses how these can be used in reforming simulation pedagogy. The book is divided into three sections. Section 1 sets the scene for understanding the practices of interprofessional simulation-based education and simulation. It provides a theoretical and methodological framework for the conceptualisation of practices and for the empirical studies on which the book is based. Section 2 revisits the dimensions of the simulation process/exercise, i.e. the briefing, simulation, and debriefing, and provides empirical analyses of how the practice of simulation unfolds. Based on these analyses, section 3 identifies and discusses how pedagogies for simulation can be reformed to meet the demands of future healthcare and research.

Download or read book Exploring Self efficacy and Leadership Using Peer Learning in Interprofessional Clinical Simulation for Respiratory Therapists written by Kali Kristine Moore and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction: Interprofessional clinical simulation has been introduced as the new standard for healthcare education within which peers are able to collaborate about patient care in a real-life scenario. This type of educational tool has been linked to higher confidence in skill and communication practice. However, there has been a lack of regarding the peer interaction as a tool to precept these scenarios. This study describes the effects of peer learning in the context of interprofessional clinical simulation. Methods: This study used a pre/post-test survey design to assess self-efficacy changes as well as post-test likert-type scaling and open-ended reflection responses. Additionally, it utilized a strengths survey assessment for half of the participants. Results: A total of 29 students from the Respiratory Therapy program participated. Two-tailed Paired t-tests were utilized to assess changes in self-efficacy post-simulation demonstrating that students felt a statistically significant increase in most self-efficacy items for both the peer preceptor and peer learner including increased confidence in motivation, coping with conflict and communication skills. Additionally, independent sample t-tests were used to determine if there was any difference in perception of the peer learning experience based on role. There was no statistically significant difference based on role in any of the items assessed. Qualitative data suggested themes of confidence and perspective as being key components to a successful peer learning experience. Conclusions: Peer learning in the interprofessional clinical simulation environment leads to benefit for both the peer preceptor and peer learner. Participation in interprofessional clinical simulation results in increased self-efficacy and enhancement of leadership and communication skills which may impact future practice.

Download or read book A Mixed Methods Study Exploring the Effectiveness of High Fidelity Simulation in Dietetics Education Though the Use of a Responsive Manikin written by Sherry Foret and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract : A dietitian must earn the credentials of Registered Dietitian Nutritionist to be employed as a clinical dietitian in the hospital and public health settings (Academy, 2013). According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the job outlook for registered dietitians is expected to grow 16% by 2024 (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2016). In recent years, it has been increasingly difficult to find Registered Dietitians who are willing to serve as preceptors for dietetic students, leading to a shortage of internship sites (Thompson & Gutschall, 2015). Therefore, dietetic programs are forced to find other means of training, such as simulation for students to achieve dietetics competencies required for their credentialing. Simulation, specifically high-fidelity simulation, offers a real-world setting in which students could learn and achieve competencies. This study explored the use of simulation in dietetics education as it has been used in nursing education and other fields. It also investigated the role of technology acceptance in the successful implementation of simulation as it relates to self-efficacy and student-centered learning. Self-efficacy and student-centered learning were explored for their connection with achievement of clinical competencies in dietetics; particularly, the nutrition focused physical exam. The achievement of dietetics competencies with the use of simulation could implicate the effectiveness of simulation in dietetics education.

Download or read book Applying the Rasch Model and Structural Equation Modeling to Higher Education written by A.Y.M. Atiquil Islam and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2023-06-16 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces the fundamentals of the technology satisfaction model (TSM), supporting readers in applying the Rasch model and structural equation modeling (SEM) – a multivariate technique – to higher education (HE) research. User satisfaction is traditionally measured along a single dimension. However, the TSM includes digital technologies for teaching, learning and research across three dimensions: computer efficacy, perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness. Establishing relationships among these factors is a challenge. Although commonly used in psychology to trace relationships, Rasch and SEM approaches are rarely used in educational technology or library and information science. This book, therefore, shows that combining these two analytical tools offers researchers better options for measurement and generalisation in HE research. This title presents theoretical and methodological insights of use to researchers in HE.
