Book Teaching and Learning in Nursing

Download or read book Teaching and Learning in Nursing written by Gregor Stiglic and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2017-05-17 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A significant body of knowledge is the basis for a holistic, caring and scientific evidence-based nursing education in practice for professional development. Quality teaching leads to good learning and both aspects are two of the main issues of quality assurance in nursing education today. To begin with, not all nursing students have the same levels of motivation or learning abilities. It is with cognisance of providing quality care for patients that the role of the nurse educator has to be to enhance nursing students' learning using scientific evidence based teaching. Research around teaching and learning processes is an important part of the delivery of quality education, which in turn impacts on students' learning results and experiences, thereby, ensuring holistic biopsychosocial care to patients. The main aim of teaching and learning in nursing, at all levels, is to enhance the nurses' contribution to assist the individuals, families and communities in promoting and preserving health, well-being and to efficiently respond to illnesses. We hope that this book can be used as a resource to increase the body of knowledge in teaching and learning in nursing, thereby enhancing the role and contribution of health care professionals to clinical practice.

Book Communicating Women s Health

Download or read book Communicating Women s Health written by Annette Madlock Gatison and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-12-07 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores the conditions under which women are empowered, and feel entitled, to make the health decisions that are best for them. At its core, it illuminates how the most basic element of communication, voice, has been summarily suppressed for entire groups of women when it comes to control of their own sexuality, reproductive lives, and health. By giving voice to these women’s experiences, the book shines a light on ways to improve health communication for women. Bringing together personal narratives, key theory and literature, and original qualitative and quantitative studies, the book provides an in-depth comparative picture of how and why women’s health varies for distinct groups of women. Organized into four parts—historical influences on patient and provider perceptions, breast cancer the silence and the shame, make it taboo: mothering, reproduction, and womanhood, and sex, sexuality, relational health, and womanhood—each section is introduced with a brief synthesis and discussion of the key questions addressed across the chapters.

Book The Future of Nursing

    Book Details:
  • Author : Institute of Medicine
  • Publisher : National Academies Press
  • Release : 2011-02-08
  • ISBN : 0309208955
  • Pages : 700 pages

Download or read book The Future of Nursing written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2011-02-08 with total page 700 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Future of Nursing explores how nurses' roles, responsibilities, and education should change significantly to meet the increased demand for care that will be created by health care reform and to advance improvements in America's increasingly complex health system. At more than 3 million in number, nurses make up the single largest segment of the health care work force. They also spend the greatest amount of time in delivering patient care as a profession. Nurses therefore have valuable insights and unique abilities to contribute as partners with other health care professionals in improving the quality and safety of care as envisioned in the Affordable Care Act (ACA) enacted this year. Nurses should be fully engaged with other health professionals and assume leadership roles in redesigning care in the United States. To ensure its members are well-prepared, the profession should institute residency training for nurses, increase the percentage of nurses who attain a bachelor's degree to 80 percent by 2020, and double the number who pursue doctorates. Furthermore, regulatory and institutional obstacles-including limits on nurses' scope of practice-should be removed so that the health system can reap the full benefit of nurses' training, skills, and knowledge in patient care. In this book, the Institute of Medicine makes recommendations for an action-oriented blueprint for the future of nursing.

Book Student Perceptions of Minority Nursing Students at a Urban Public University

Download or read book Student Perceptions of Minority Nursing Students at a Urban Public University written by Faith Efada and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Currently, the shortage of minority nurses in nursing schools directly influences further recruitment and retention of minorities as well as the overall quality of nursing practice. To identify variables related to recruitment and retention of minority nurses and the current cultural climate of nursing schools, this study examined California State University, Long Beach (CSULB), nursing students' perceptions of the experience of minorities enrolled in baccalaureate and graduate nursing programs at the university. The study surveyed 41 nursing students in two different classrooms using a modified version of the Cultural Awareness Scale. Findings signified that although the university was perceived as culturally fair, many students identified their own existing biases, views, and comfortability in interacting with other cultures. Further research is needed with larger sample sizes to further assess the cultural climate in the School of Nursing at CSULB.

Book Organizational Culture and Student Empowerment in Baccalaureate Nursing Programs

Download or read book Organizational Culture and Student Empowerment in Baccalaureate Nursing Programs written by Cheryl L. Bosley and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A critical goal of nursing education is to prepare a future generation of practitioners who can influence outcomes in a complex and changing health care environment. The empowerment of nurses has been associated with positive organizational and health care outcomes. Educational culture, as a major socializing control, has the potential to affect the empowerment of nursing students and their future nursing practice. The purpose of this study was to examine relationships between students' perceptions of organizational culture in their baccalaureate nursing program and the students' self-perceived empowerment. The sample consisted of 231 senior baccalaureate nursing students from 4 public institutions in Northeast Ohio. The Organization Culture Inventory (Cooke & Lafferty, 1983, 1986, 1987, 1989) and the Short Vincenz Empowerment Scale (Vincenz, 1990) were used to measure organizational culture and empowerment, respectively. Findings indicate that, overall, students perceived their baccalaureate nursing program as having a moderately high constructive culture and a moderately low defensive culture. Students also described themselves as having moderately high empowerment. A weak positive relationship was found between students' perception of a constructive organizational culture of their baccalaureate nursing program and their empowerment. A weak inverse relationship was found between students' perception of a defensive culture in their baccalaureate nursing program and their empowerment. Together, the two organizational culture variables explained 7.7% of the variance in student empowerment. An important measurement finding of this study was that two organizational culture concepts, passive-defensive and aggressive-defensive cultures, could not be differentiated in this sample. Although factors other than culture may account more for student empowerment in baccalaureate nursing programs, this study provides support for the existence of an emerging new generation of empowered nurses who have the potential to make a positive impact on the nursing profession and patient care.

Download or read book Ethnic Matching written by Donald Easton-Brooks and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2019-03-13 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ethnic Matching: Academic Success of Students of Color is an in-depth exploration on the impact of ethnic matching in education, the paring of students of color with teachers of the same race. Research shows that this method has a positive and long-term impact on the academic experience of students of color. This book explores what makes this phenomenon relevant in today’s classrooms. Through interviewing quality teachers of color, this book sheds a light on the impact these teachers make on the academic experience of students of color. This approach is meant to provide all teachers valuable insight into techniques for engaging with diverse learners. Also, from these conversations, the book shows how the intentionality of culturally responsive practice can enhance the academic experience of students of color. Topics such as the challenges of recruiting and retaining quality teachers of color, as well as the valuable work being done on the local, state, and national level to promote diversifying the field of education as a way to provide equitable education for all students is also explored in this book.
