Autonomia dorosłych osób z niepełnosprawnością intelektualną - perspektywa porównawcza
2022
Głównym celem przedstawionych w artykule badań własnych było określenie, jaki jest poziom autonomii dorosłych osób z głębszą niepełnosprawnością intelektualną (N = 133) mieszkających w różnych środowiskach. Uwzględniono perspektywę dorosłych osób mieszkających z rodzicami (N = 62), pensjonariuszy domów pomocy społecznej (N = 40) oraz mieszkańców domów L’Arche (N = 31). Wiek respondentów mieścił się przedziale od 18 do 68 lat (M = 38,82; SD = 12,71). Posłużono się metodą sondażu diagnostycznego. W celu zebrania niezbędnych danych zastosowano autorski Kwestionariusz wywiadu z dorosłą osobą z niepełnosprawnością intelektualną. W analizie wykorzystano nieparametryczny test Kruskala-Wallisa oraz…
Nursing students' transfer of learning outcomes from simulation-based training to clinical practice: A focus-group study
2019
AbstractBackgroundSimulation-based training is used to develop nursing students’ clinical performance in assessing and managing situations in clinical placements. The use of simulation-based training has increased and become an integrated part of nursing education. The aim of this study was to explore nursing students’ experiences of simulation-based training and how the students perceived the transfer of learning to clinical practice.MethodsEight focus group interviews were conducted with a total of 32 s- and third-year nursing students who participated in a simulation-based training organized as preparation for clinical placement. The transcribed interviews were analysed with thematic ana…

The interviews were analysed using manifest content analysis according to Graneheim and Lundman. Results Students reported feelings of isolation and the lack of opportunities to integrate…
Factors affecting the level of professional development among nursing staff after the introduction of an electronic education monitoring system
2021
Background: Constant improvement of the level of education, occupational independence, and the undertaking of scientific activity, including research and publications, contribute fundamentally to the development of the nursing profession. Ministerial directives for nurses to acquire and increase qualifications gave rise to the emergence of a new job profile in which self-discipline in the scope of scientific activity and personal development is essential. Aim of the study: The study aimed to assess the factors affecting the level of professional development among nurses after the introduction of the electronic education monitoring system (SMK), including variables hindering the process of i…
Nursing students' perceptions of combining hands-on simulation with simulated patients and a serious game in preparing for clinical placement in home…
2021
Abstract Background There is a growing demand to provide complex healthcare services in patients' own homes. However, high quality home healthcare clinical placements are often difficult to obtain, and arranging laboratory-based simulations to provide relevant clinical-practical learning experiences for all students is resource intensive. Objectives The aim of this study was to explore nursing students' perceptions of using a blended simulation approach, including hands-on simulation with simulated patients and a video-based serious game, in preparation for their home healthcare clinical placements. Design An exploratory qualitative design using focus group interviews was utilized. Setting …
Systematic education has a positive impact on nurses' evidence-based practice: Intervention study results
2022
Aims To evaluate how an education program on evidence-based practice (EBP) affected nurses´ knowledge, practices, and attitudes related to EBPs in patient care. Methods Nurses of one Finnish university hospital participated in two separate EBP education programs in 2016–2017 and 2018–2019. Data was collected by a questionnaire given before and after each program. Reliable instruments for measuring EBP were used: The Evidence-Based Practice Questionnaire (24 items) and the Attitudes to Evidence-Based Practice Questionnaire (17 items). Means and frequencies were evaluated with the Mann-Whitney U test and linear regression. Results Nurses reported that their EBP practice, skills and the Work b…
Bodily cleanliness in modern nursing
2013
Why are bodily washing practices the way they are in nursing? Michel Foucault argues that modern democratic societies discipline human bodies in accordance with political interests. In the extension of that argumentation we will show that bodily cleanliness in modern nursing may have been used as a disciplining tool. The first part of our discussion takes as its point of departure the second half of the 19th/the beginning of the 20th centuries, the period in which modern nursing emerged. At that time scientific theories on hygiene seem to have legitimized the political effort to produce a clean, pleasant-smelling, decent, obedient, and productive population. Doctors, nurses and teachers pla…
Experiences of perinatal women and public healthcare providers in a community affected by the great east Japan earthquake and tsunami: Concerns that …
2020
Abstract Particular support needs of perinatal women in a disaster have been difficult to grasp through preexisting quantitative epidemiological studies. This study aimed to extract concerns that must be considered for perinatal women's mental healthcare in postdisaster settings based on lessons from the Great East Japan Earthquake. Narrative messages regarding protective and risk factors for mothers' mental health from a representative population of mothers who had given birth and all official maternal caregivers, in a coastal town devastated by the catastrophe were subjected to qualitative analyses. Eight concerns were extracted as specific support needs: (1) improve information pathways,…
Reconciliation of Pedagogical Objectives, Technical Opportunities and Stereotypes of Educational Application : Case Perioperative Nursing
2014
In the design of educational applications, expertise in several fields is needed: pedagogy, technology and interaction design, among others. Since the aim of an educational application is to promote learning, there should be a clear hierarchy in the perspectives: pedagogical objectives should be the primary perspective, while others play merely an instrumental role. However, it appears that pedagogy is rarely seen as a separate area of expertise. Learning is considered a mundane concept that most people understand. This setting may cause conflicts within a design group. In this paper we present a typical case study, in which pedagogical expertise was overlooked. The resulting application wa…
Appraisal and Evaluation of the Learning Environment Instruments of the Student Nurse: A Systematic Review Using COSMIN Methodology
2023
Background: Nursing education consists of theory and practice, and student nurses’ perception of the learning environment, both educational and clinical, is one of the elements that determines the success or failure of their university study path. This study aimed to identify the currently available tools for measuring the clinical and educational learning environments of student nurses and to evaluate their measurement properties in order to provide solid evidence for researchers, educators, and clinical tutors to use in the selection of tools. Methods: We conducted a systematic review to evaluate the psychometric properties of self-reported learning environment tools in accordance with th…
