Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Healthcare disparities and inequities have been at the forefront of the health agenda, thus supporting that minority healthcare is of poorer quality than that experienced by the majority population. Compounding this issue is the fact that our nation is growing more diverse. Only modest strides have been made to increase the diversity in the nursing workforce so patient care needs can be better met. Using a 99-item survey, this study evaluates the relationship between personal factors, community factors, and the level of self-efficacy related to nursing as a career in pre-nursing minority students in higher education. The sample consisted of 88 African American and Caucasian freshman and sophomore students. No statistically significant differences were found between the two ethic groups in nursing academic, clinical self-efficacy, or general self-efficacy. Differences were found between the ethnic groups in the kinds of social support needed by the students. These findings suggest that when minorities have relatively the same personal and community influencing factors as Caucasian students, they achieve comparable levels of self-efficacy. These findings may suggest that other variables and perhaps other theories need to be examined.

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.

This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Due to an increasingly complex patient population, new graduate nurses are expected to enter the workforce and provide competent safe care in order to promote positive patient outcomes. Pre-licensure nursing education holds the responsibility for providing this population with the critical thinking and clinical self-efficacy necessary for the successful transition from student nurse to practicing Registered Nurse. Unsuccessful transition into this new role has been attributed to a gap between what is learned in school and the reality of nursing practice, the so called "theory-practice gap" leading to poor self-efficacy. In addition, it has been suggested that poor self-efficacy leads to high nurse turnover, medical errors, and nurses leaving the profession entirely. With a looming nursing shortage expected to reach 500,000 Registered Nurses by 2025, ensuring the nursing profession is hiring competent nurses with high self-efficacy is crucial. The purpose of this pilot cohort study was to evaluate the perceived self-efficacy of final semester pre-licensure nursing students before and after completing the required clinical precepted experience. Using a quantitative approach, senior baccalaureate nursing students were surveyed during their final semester, prior to beginning their required clinical precepted experience and again after completing all required clinical hours. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize survey responses while paired samples t-tests were used to evaluate pre and post-test scores. While no statistical significance was found, the variability in student responses to the survey increased, with some students' reporting improved self-efficacy while others remained the same or declined. The interepretation of findings needs caution due to the small sample size. The influence of the theory-practice gap on students' perceived self-efficacy and preparedness to enter the nursing workforce needs to be evaluated further.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author's abstract: Nursing education is experiencing a generational phenomenon with student enrollment spanning three generations. Classrooms cultures are changing today and include some Baby Boomers and large numbers of Generation X, Generation Y, and second-degree seeking students. These culturally diverse groups of students have unique sets of learning characteristics. Given the current challenges of growing student diversity, balancing budgets, and meeting faculty shortages, nursing schools are pressed to find alternative teaching methods that are not only cost and labor saving but also effective and equitable for the diverse student groups. This quantitative, experimental research design study explored the effects of the alternative teaching methods of human patient simulation (HPS) and virtual clinical excursion (VCE) on self-efficacy and intrinsic motivation of 126 culturally diverse junior level nursing students. The purpose of this study was to determine if these simulation activities were motivationally effective and equitable teaching methods for students of culturally diverse generation and degree. The Intrinsic Motivation Inventory (IMI) group mean score of the HPS group revealed significantly higher IMI scores than the VCE group. While many HPS subscale scores were higher, VCE scores were still on the higher end of the Lickert scale. The results did not consistently confirm that any one particular cultural demographic group benefitted more or less from either HPS or VCE experience. None of the main effects were significant for any of the general self-efficacy change scores. Only one interaction was significant: simulation type/degree status for the GSE score with midlevel degree type HPS students experiencing a largely higher mean gain in GSE between the first two assessments than those in the VCE experience. Culturally competent educators may use the findings of this study to begin a dialogue regarding appropriate simulation activities for the changing culture of nursing students. Results of this study indicated that, while overall IMI scores were higher for HPS than for VCE, both types of simulation were motivationally appropriate and effective teaching methods for all types of students, regardless of cultural demographic factors. In addition, GSE scores remained relatively constant, indicating that both types of simulation were appropriate and effective for all groups in this study.

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.

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.
