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.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Utilizing unfolding case studies as a teaching strategy has a number of potential benefits towards enhancing student understanding and transfer of knowledge. A major goal of these strategies is to enhance the competence levels of nursing students and improve patient care outcomes. Literature has suggested that utilization of knowledge to align classroom, clinical, and laboratory learning experiences will lead to nursing students who are better able to discern critical aspects to focus on within clinical situations, allowing them to render more competent care (Benner, Sutphen, Leonard, & Day, 2010). Although unfolding case studies have the potential benefits, listed above, there is little empirical research in nursing education to warrant such claims. This study begins to address this gap by examining differences in understanding and transfer between a classroom that utilized a lecture-based approach (n = 45) and a classroom that utilized unfolding case studies (n = 44). Specifically, this study tested the effects of using unfolding case studies within an oxygenation module in a Fundamentals of Nursing Course at a community college in the southeastern United States. Pre and post module tests, a final examination, a teaching rubric, and personal perceptions of achievement through survey questions were utilized to measure achievement levels and students perceptions about using unfolding case studies. Results from an analysis of variance indicate that students in the unfolding case study classroom learned at a statistically significantly greater rate and demonstrated greater understanding after the module than students in the lecture-based classroom. Further, students in the unfolding case study classroom demonstrated significantly higher transfer of understanding on the final examination. Results from the survey questions offer suggestions for educational design for nursing students by guiding pedagogical strategies for the alignment of classroom, clinical, and laboratory experiences.

Lloyd and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nursing education reform is needed for today’s generational mix of pre-licensure nursing students to prepare them to effectively care for clients’ ever-evolving healthcare needs. This mixed-methods, quasi-experimental study was designed to measure if the use of unfolding case studies (UCS) in a traditional classroom setting (TCS) would (a) enhance critical thinking skills of the experimental group more than the control group as measured by the Health Science Reasoning Test (HSRT), (b) explore if course content examinations were higher in the experimental group versus the control group, (c) explore the perceptions of a subset of Bachelor of Science Nursing (BSN) pre-licensure students to determine if the use of multimodal learning (visual, auditory, reading, and kinesthetic) opportunities throughout UCS improved CTS in the classroom setting, clinical setting, and preparing for course content exams and, (d) explore if the above-mentioned subset of BSN students perceived greater engagement during the learning process. A convenience sample (N = 70) of BSN pre-licensure students participated in the quantitative portion of this research study. A subset of BSN pre-licensure students (n = 8) from the experimental group volunteered for a 1-hour focus group session. Quantitative data results showed no statistical significance between the experimental and control groups’ HSRT overall and subscale scores (p > .05) and only a statistical significance for Exam I (p
Download or read book Exploring the Link Between Simulation and Self efficacy written by Donna Elder Beuk and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 143 pages. 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.

This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Additionally, relationships between demographic characteristics and clinical judgment scores in undergraduate nursing students were explored. There were no statistically significant relationships found between demographic characteristics and clinical judgment in this sample. Further analysis indicated that both teaching strategies are effective in promoting knowledge acquisition, clinical judgment, and general self-efficacy. The findings of this study demonstrate that both participation in simulation-based case studies and attending a traditional lecture are effective classroom teaching strategies in promoting knowledge acquisition, clinical judgment, and general self-efficacy in nursing students. Nurse educators are encouraged to continue to explore simulation-based experiences as a teaching strategy in the classroom.

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.

Download or read book Factors Affecting the Perceived Self efficacy of Graduating Pre licensure Nursing Students written by Nicole Ruiz and published by . 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.
