Book Nursing Student Self efficacy Beliefs During Clinical Placement

Download or read book Nursing Student Self efficacy Beliefs During Clinical Placement written by Leslie Jane Grightmire and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Health care changes and our ageing population mean an increasing shortage of nurses, which elevates the importance of understanding how preservice nursing programs contribute to nursing outcomes. This study combined Benner's (2001) taxonomy of nursing domains with Bandura's (1997) social cognition theory. Self-efficacy Beliefs (SE) are task specific and based on a self-assessment of your task performance, comparison of your ability to that of others, verbal persuasion by others of your ability, and physiological and affective mood states (Bandura, 1997). Self-efficacy is an important outcome of nursing education because nurses with high SE set appropriate goals, try different strategies, persevere to complete a task, and will make an easier transition from student to nursing professional.This mixed methods thesis focused on the nurse candidates SE experiences during a seven week hospital clinical rotation accompanied by a clinical teacher. The research questions were: (1) What are the SE beliefs of nurse candidates during clinical practice? (2) How do the four sources from Bandura (1997) contribute to the SE beliefs of nursing students during their clinical placement? (3) What is the relative importance to the SE beliefs of nursing candidates of their interaction with clinical teachers? (4) Are there differences between semester 2 and semester 4 students in the SE effects of their clinical practice?Student participants completed two questionnaires about SE beliefs and the clinical teaching behaviors survey. Clinical teachers also completed the clinical teaching behaviors survey. Qualitative analysis of transcripts and the quantitative statistical package SPSS were used to answer the research questions.There were rapid changes in SE during the clinical experience. Clinical teachers were the key to building, or diminishing, SE beliefs. Semester two students had increases in SE beliefs during the rotation while the majority of semester four students experienced a decrease. There were statistically significant differences between the semesters on three of Benner's (2001) domains. Quantitative and qualitative findings reflected these same findings. There were suggestions for nursing education and clinical practice to increase SE beliefs in this complex learning environment.

Book Gender Differences in Mathematics

Download or read book Gender Differences in Mathematics written by Ann M. Gallagher and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2004-12-27 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Females consistently score lower than males on standardized tests of mathematics - yet no such differences exist in the classroom. These differences are not trivial, nor are they insignificant. Test scores help determine entrance to college and graduate school and therefore, by extension, a person's job and future success. If females receive lower test scores then they also receive fewer opportunities. Why does this discrepancy exist? This book presents a series of papers that address these issues by integrating the latest research findings and theories. Authors such as Diane Halpern, Jacquelynne Eccles, Beth Casey, Ronald Nuttal, James Byrnes, and Frank Pajares tackle these questions from a variety of perspectives. Many different branches of psychology are represented, including cognitive, social, personality/self-oriented, and psychobiological. The editors then present an integrative chapter that discusses the ideas presented and other areas that the field should explore.

Book Interprofessional Simulation in Health Care

Download or read book Interprofessional Simulation in Health Care written by Madeleine Abrandt Dahlgren and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-08-26 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Book The Use of an Unfolding Case Study to Enhance Self efficacy in Nursing Students

Download or read book The Use of an Unfolding Case Study to Enhance Self efficacy in Nursing Students written by Hettie V. Peele and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nurse educators are challenged with preparing new nurse graduates that can function in the current healthcare practice environment of high patient acuity, morbidities, and information technology while maintaining patient safety and quality care management (Cronenwett et al., 2007). Therefore, nurse educators are amenable to exploring alternative teaching pedagogies that provide students with engaging learning opportunities that simulate real-life clinical scenarios they may encounter in professional nursing practice. This study explored the use of an unfolding case study as an innovative teaching strategy to enhance the perception of student self-efficacy. A one-group pretest-posttest descriptive design with a convenience sample of 17 second year associate degree nursing students enrolled in a complex health concepts course was utilized. The General Self-Efficacy Scale was used to measure perceived self-efficacy pre- and post- participation in an unfolding case study. The pretest mean was 3.20 (sd = 0.356) and the posttest mean was 3.38 (sd =0.396). The paired t-test result was 0.182 (sd = 0.300) with a statistical significance of 0.024.The results of this study supported the use of an unfolding case study as a teaching pedagogy to enhance nursing students’ self-efficacy as they transition to enter professional nursing. Bandura’s theory of self-efficacy (Bandura, 1977, 1986) and situation learning theory (Lave & Wenger, 1991) guided the conceptual framework of this study.

Book Health Promotion in Health Care     Vital Theories and Research

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 Student Nurses  Perception of Self efficacy and Perceived Clinical Judgment Through the Use of Multi patient Simulation

Download or read book Student Nurses Perception of Self efficacy and Perceived Clinical Judgment Through the Use of Multi patient Simulation written by Laura J Corson and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New nurse graduates may be ill-prepared to care for multiple patients in the acute care setting due to limited clinical experience. Nurse educators must find ways of bridging the theory-to-practice gap. High-fidelity simulation is one mechanism for bridging this gap. This pilot study explored the effect of multi-patient simulation (MPS) on students' self-efficacy and perceived clinical judgment. This quasi-experimental study sought to explore the readiness of BSN students to care for multiple patients through the use of MPS and a self-efficacy survey measuring perceived level of confidence (LOC) in clinical care. Findings were inconclusive regarding whether MPS as a teaching method helped nursing students increase their perceived LOC and improve clinical judgment skills. Students agreed that the design should be part of nursing education and it identified gaps in their knowledge. This study raised an awareness of what students lack in terms of prioritization management when caring for multiple patients.

Book Relationships Between Experiential Learning and Effects on Senior Nursing Students  Self Efficacy and Knowledge

Download or read book Relationships Between Experiential Learning and Effects on Senior Nursing Students Self Efficacy and Knowledge written by Shanna Akers and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Preparing nursing students to transition into the professional registered nurse role is the task of nurse educators. These educators must train students to function in multiple nursing specialties post-graduation, to include critical care. As more nursing graduates enter into areas such as intensive care units and emergency rooms, nurse educators must prepare them to work with critically ill patients. Increased exposure to critical care clinical experiences and simulations may be one method to prepare them for these complex, high-acuity patient situations. In order to determine whether or not a relationship exists between increased hours of experience and effects on self-efficacy and knowledge, the Nursing Student Self-Efficacy Scale (NSSES) and the Basic Knowledge Assessment Test-8 (BKAT-8) was administered to senior nursing students in a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) pre-licensure program during their final semester. Hierarchical regression analysis evaluated each variable in the regression model. Control variables included age, gender, ethnicity, prior experience, and preferred initial job placement. Predictor variables (independent variables) were clinical hours and simulation hours. Data indicates a positive relationship for each predictive variable to both the NSSES and BKAT-8. Additionally, clinical hours and simulation hours do contribute to the overall predictive model for NSSES and BKAT-8 outcomes. Practical implications and suggestions for future research are addressed.

Book Moral Resilience

Download or read book Moral Resilience written by Cynda H. Rushton and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Suffering is an unavoidable reality in healthcare. Not only are patients and families suffering but also the clinicians who care for them. Commonly the suffering experienced by clinicians is moral in nature, in part a reflection of the increasing complexity of health care, their roles within it, and the expanding range of available interventions that challenge their moral foundations. Moral suffering is the anguish that arises occurs in response to moral adversity that challenges clinicians integrity: the inner harmony that arises when their essential values and commitments are aligned with their choices and actions. The sources and sequelae of moral distress, one type of moral suffering, have been documented among clinicians across specialties. Transforming their suffering will require solutions that expanded individual and system strategies. Moral resilience, the capacity of an individual to restore or sustain integrity in response to moral adversity, offers a path forward. It encompasses capacities aimed at developing self- regulation and self-awareness, buoyancy, moral efficacy, self-stewardship and ultimately personal and relational integrity. Whether it involves gradual or profound radical change clinicians have the potential to transform themselves and their clinical practice in ways that more authentically reflect their character, intentions and values. The burden of healing our healthcare system is not the sole responsibility of individuals. Clinicians and healthcare organizations must work together to transform moral suffering by cultivating the individual capacities for moral resilience and designing a new architecture to support ethical practice. Used worldwide for scalable and sustainable change, the Conscious Full Spectrum approach, offers a method to solve problems to support integrity, shift patterns that undermine moral resilience and ethical practice, and leverage the inner potential of clinicians and leaders to produce meaningful and sustainable results that benefit all.
