Abstract:

Introduction: Many nursing and midwifery schools in many countries around the world awarded or still award graduation badges or pins to their graduates. All graduates from different parts of the former Kingdom of Yugoslavia and later the Republic of Yugoslavia educated in Slovenian healthcare schools received badges from these schools. Some of the graduates later employed in medical institutions across former Yugoslavia wore these badges on their uniforms. The main purpose of this historical research was to establish which Slovenian health care schools awarded the graduation badges and what they looked like. It was also investigated why the badges ceased to be awarded and what motivated Angela Boškin Faculty of Health Care in Jesenice to reintroduce awarding the badges. Methods: Due to a lack of written sources, we conducted 393 face to face and telephonic interviews with former badge recipients across Slovenia. Their existing badges were photographed. On the authors’ initiative, a private collection of badges was started.Results: It has been established that in the 20th century all Slovenian secondary health schools awarded badges. The Nursing College, Ljubljana also awarded graduation badges. Five different types of badges in many variants were issued. The first badges were awarded to graduates by Slovenian oldest Nursing School, Ljubljana in 1925. The badges ceased to be awarded in the late 1970s and the early 1980s. Some questions about probable reasons for cessation of awarding badges remain unanswered. Less than a fifth of interviewees kept their badges. Graduating nursing badges were reintroduced in Slovenia in 2017 with a new badge which is presented and depicted in this article. The motivation for the reintroduction of graduating badges is also investigated.Discussion and conclusion: Unfortunately, many Slovenian nurses and midwives are not sufficiently aware of the meaning and importance of their badges. Although badges are important for professional image and identity of nurses, badges as a symbol of nursing have become almost completely forgotten. Graduation badges are miniature works of art and are proof of the existence and development of Slovenian healthcare schools. Nursing badges present a part of nursing history as well as being our cultural heritage. The badges deserve to be written and talked about and should be displayed in a planned future Slovenian Health Care Museum.

Abstract:

Objective: Faith-based organisations play a major role in health care in Australia providing a unique service supported by compassionate and concerned staff. In response to the changing Australian health care landscape the increasing demands placed on first year registered nurses, a graduate program provided in partnership with a Catholic University, engages students in academic and clinical learning. The study aimed to determine if the provision of nursing care in the context of catholic faith and values provides first year nurses with a supportive learning environment.Methods: This study used a mixed method explanatory sequential design in two phases: (1) quantitative online surveys sent to graduate nurses (n = 60) to report on their perceptions of work integrated learning prior to and during their first year of nursing at the private catholic hospital; and (2) focus groups were conducted to explore key themes in further detail. The evaluation occurred at both the halfway and the end point of the 12-month Graduate Program. Data was analysed using descriptive statistics and theming of the text data to identify emergent ideas.Results: The findings suggest that the graduate nurses felt engaged with the programs academic and clinical learning outcomes. This was achieved in a supportive pastoral care environment underpinned by catholic faith and values.Conclusions: The Graduate Program in collaboration with a Catholic University School of Nursing and Midwifery has provided a positive learning experience and support structure for its first year registered nurses with the achievement of a formally recognised qualification.

Abstract:

Introduction: The increasing of the number of the students remains a problem in high colleges in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Confronted to a big number of students, diverse challenges are raised up in order to reach the level that we normally have to attend. This approach had fixed the inventory of fixtures on the number of the students is concerned and yet identify the challenge on it. Method: A transversal descriptive approach has been applied. Different data had been collected in the honors lists and in the register-book. From 1992 to 2016, 33.690 students were enrolled. Besides, 18 teachers have participated to our research. Results: In nursing, a sensitive increasing of a peak of 400 students from 2007 has been observed. In 2008, 1167 students in G1, 769 students in G2 and 539 students in G3 have been enrolled as a peak. In midwife section, in spite of the reformation, the number of students in different degrees remains high with a peak of 110 students in G1 in2009; of 137 students in G2 in 2010 and of 130 students in G3 in 2011. In EASI, the graduate cycle has enrolled more students in 2003 (a peak of more than 200 students). In the path of laboratory, nutrition and Management health Institution, the number of students was increasing every year. In the degrees where the approach of competency is applied, the ratio between teacher and students was of 1/13 in nursing and 1/29 in midwife. In training, the ratio was of 1/33. Conclusion: As far as the challenge is concerned, we have noticed the increasing of the number of students, the weak number of head of training and educated teachers in approach of competency, difficulty in applying teaching methods when the group of students to teach is increased and overweight in work.

Abstract:

Background: The quacking controversy that trailed the Nursing & Midwifery Council of Nigeria’s (N&MCN) release of a “License Community Nurse (LCN)” circular (Ref No. N&MCN/SG/RO/CIR/24/VOL.4/152 dated March 3, 2020) which conveyed the intention of the council to lower the existing standard of nursing education for the LCN programme that will take secondary school leavers at least a credit in English and Biology to be admitted into and two years to complete, and inter alia blamed the crude situation and abysmal performance of the Nigerian Primary Healthcare (PHC) system in the community settings on mass migration of Nurses & Midwives to urban areas and to other countries prompted UGONSA to initiate this survey to empirically determine whether there are indeed a shortage of Nurses & Midwives to fill the manpower need of the Nigerian PHC system in the community settings or not, or whether the shortage is as a result of the deliberate age-long policy of attrition and displacement of Nurses & Midwives from the PHC system in the community settings and their replacement with Community Health Extension Workers (CHEWs) [who do not have nursing education, training, skills or the ethical leaning to be responsible and accountable for nursing & midwifery services] by the National Primary Healthcare Development Agency (NPHCDA). Objective: The main aim of the study was to determine if there is a shortage of nurses that could fill the nursing needs of the PHC system in the community settings. The study also sought to compile the list of unemployed and underemployed Nurses & Midwives and to find out if unemployed Nurses & Midwives are willing to work in the community settings if the opportunity to serve the PHC system in the community setting is offered to them by the NPHCDA. The study further sought to determine the ratio of unemployed Nurses & Midwives in relation to the possible number of graduates that can be licensed by the N&MCN in a session. Methods: Using Google forms an online compilation was carried out from March 7 to April 08, 2020, in a descriptive survey of unemployed Nurses & Midwives that could be reached online within the timeline. Names, Phone numbers, State of Residence, Year of Graduation, Qualification(s), and how long they have remained unemployed after graduation were compiled. In addition, two questions were asked about the objective of the study. Analysis of data was done via Google forms statistical tools. Results: A total of 3317 unemployed Nurses & Midwives responded to the survey. Among these unemployed Nurses & Midwives – 38% holds RN only, 19% holds both RN & RM, 15.4% holds RM only, while 27.6% holds BNSc plus another qualification. For the year they have remained unemployed after graduation 57.1% have spent 0–2 years, 29.9% have been unemployed for 3–5 years, 7% have been unemployed for 6 – 8 years and 6.1% have been unemployed for more than 8 years. To the question, “Do you think there is a shortage of Nurses and Midwives in Nigeria?” – 47.5% said yes, 43.5% said no whereas 9% were undecided (said maybe). Furthermore, the result showed that while 95% of the unemployed Nurses & Midwives are willing to work in the rural community settings, 1% was not willing to work in the rural community settings and 4% were undecided (.i.e. said maybe) on whether they will work in the rural community settings or not. The result also revealed that the 3317 unemployed Nurses & Midwives captured in the survey represents graduates of 66 Nursing & Midwifery schools per session out of a total of 162 schools that are currently accredited by the N&MCN. This represents 41% of the possible number of graduates that can be turned out of the accredited Nursing & Midwifery Schools (excluding Post-basic schools) in a session. Conclusion: Despite the reported migration of Nurses to urban areas and other countries, at least 41% of Nigerian Nurses & Midwives produced in a session remain unemployed and 95% of them are willing to work in the rural community settings if given the opportunity. These unemployed Nurses & Midwives can bridge the Nursing & Midwifery manpower needs in the Primary Healthcare System should the NPHCDA engage their services with a commensurate or higher payment to what their employed counterparts receive in Federal Government-owned establishments and hospitals. There is no current shortage of Nurses that necessitates the lowering of the existing standard of nursing education. Nurses & Midwives are not responsible for the design, implementation, and delivery of healthcare services at the PHC level and therefore are not culpable for the deplorable condition and abysmal performance of the Nigerian PHC System.

Abstract:

AIMThe aim of this study was to identify the level of knowledge of students on traditional practices related to pregnancy, childbirth, the postpartum period and the newborn in Turkey and present the geographical regions of Turkey where traditional practices are more common.METHODSThis cross-sectional study was performed with the participation of 375 students enrolled at the Midwifery and Nursing Departments of the Faculty of Health Sciences of a university in the Marmara Region located in northwestern Turkey. The data were collected through a Personal Information Form and a Traditional Beliefs and Practices Form created by the researchers. Means, standard deviations, minimum and maximum values, frequencies, and percentages were utilized in the statistical analyses.RESULTSThe mean age of the participants was 20.51 ± 2.44 years, 44.5% of them lived in the Marmara Region of Turkey, and most of their parents were primary school graduates. In this study, it was found that most students were not familiar with traditional practices in relation to pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum and newborns in Turkey. It was also ascertained that the beliefs held by the students about pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum and newborns differed across regions. It was found that most students did not know the harmful traditional practices performed for making childbirth easier. Most students were knowledgeable about harmful traditional practices about postpartum. Some of the harmful traditional practices applied to the newborn were determined to be unknown to the students.CONCLUSIONIn conclusion, in this study, it was identified that most students were not familiar with traditional practices related to pregnancy, childbirth, the postpartum period and newborns in Turkey. Before student midwives and nurses have started their careers, they should be informed about traditional beliefs and practices of the society in which they live, and they should be capable of making holistic and comprehensive evaluations. Because of this study, it is recommended that traditional beliefs and practices be included in the curricula of midwifery and nursing schools with particular emphasis on the geographical regions of Turkey.

Abstract:

Healthcare systems operate properly as long as there are enough skilful health professionals available. This paper compares the population of doctors and nurses in the healthcare system in Poland and in other European countries. We used statistical data gathered by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), Statistics Poland, Ministry of Health, as well as materials from the General Medical Council, and the Nursing and Midwifery Council in Poland. We made an attempt to find out why Poland ranks so low in the lists showing the number of practising doctors and nurses per 1,000 population. We identified the main sources of “inflows” (graduates of medical and nursing schools) and “outflows” (retirement, migration, people leaving medical professions) into/ from the pool of health professionals. Our goal was also to specify which areas necessitate systemic changes to increase the number of practising doctors and nurses. We decided that institutional changes are also needed: increasing the number of students admitted to medical schools, better working conditions for medical professionals, incentives to return to Poland, etc. Such changes combined with rising public expenditure may improve the performance of the healthcare system in Poland.

Abstract:

Introduction: An educational system that responds to the needs of society, besides needs assessment and community-based education, should allocate part of its research to society’s needs and priorities. Objective: This study aims to evaluate the scientific and research products of reproductive health graduates in the field of social accountability in Iran. Materials and Methods: The present study was conducted as an auditory study on all submitted dissertations in the field of reproductive health from 6 schools of midwifery nursing in Iran from 2010 to 2021. The first outcome of this study was the evaluation of scientific and research products of reproductive health graduates in the field of social accountability and the second one was the evaluation of these dissertations in three levels of responsibility, responsiveness, and accountability. The standardized and localized social accountability scale was used to evaluate the social responsiveness of the dissertations. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize the data. Results: In this study, 235 PhD reproductive health dissertations were assessed. The obtained score for social accountability was 34.5 (range: 30-40). Regarding social responsiveness, the obtained score was 63.8 (range: 50-70), and regarding the social responsibility dimension, the obtained score was 90 (range: 70-100). Conclusion: It is necessary to qualitatively evaluate the titles and objectives of the dissertations in this field before their approval and implementation. It is increasingly emphasized to achieve the research priorities of the field and, more importantly, the logic of this research to meet the health needs of the target community.

Abstract:

Graduate studies at the EEAAC/UFF will expand your horizons and create an academic pathway to fulfill your goals. The Professional Master challenge us to aggressively pursue new sources of funding and scholarships for the nursing research. We hope that the following informations will help you maximize the chance to find a financial support to your education. The health organizations (governmental or non-governmental) needs create a traineeship program to support masters nursing students. Traineeships support nurses while they are pursuing advanced training. As well, the nursing schools must create the research and teaching assistantships to develop experience, and coverage of faculty ́s fees. The institutions may also create a Loan Repayment Program so the awardees are obligated to work for a certain period, with salary, to qualify for payment or forgiveness of their educational loans.

Abstract:

Frequently, a nurse’s first and only contact with a graduate school, legislator, public health official, professional organization, or school nursing colleague is made through e-mail. The format, the content, and the appearance of the e-mail create a virtual first impression. Nurses can manage their image and the image of the profession by communicating electronically in a manner appropriate for the professional role.

Abstract:

This editorial is devoted to celebrate the anniversary of the Aurora de Afonso Costa School of Nursing (AACSN), at Fluminense Federal University (FFU). Rich in history, the AACSN celebrates its sixtieth year in 2004 meeting the health challenges of our developing country. An undergraduate program was first offered by the School of Nursing in 1944. The AACSN alumni impact the State of Rio de Janeiro, the nation and the world in health care delivery because they are prepared to be highly educated nurse leaders in research, teaching, training and care. So, practicing nurses play an essential role in linking the findings of research with the communities in which they work.The AACSN completed 60 years and will continue with the primary goals of excellence in nursing education, research and practice, as well as a commitment to service. In 1979, the AACSN initiated its first graduate experience: a nursing service administration certificate course, lato sensu graduate program, leading to a specialist degree. The School added programs in succeeding years that were created and coordinated by Dr. Isabel Cruz: Health Promotion (1994), Intensive Care, Renal Substitutive Therapies (2000), and Professional Master of Science (2003).We invite you to learn more about our School's three major departments, the Master Degree Program, and our Antonio Pedro University Hospital. Please, visit the Jane da Fonseca Proença Nursing Library.Read the NEPAE-NESEN the newsletter published by 2 School of Nursing´s research groups and check out the Online Brazilian Journal of Nursing, a scholarly peer-reviewed journal with free-access, for an inside look at the School of Nursing Professional Master´s Degree Program and our research production.The AACSN nursing faculty provide education and research training in the social, behavioral, and biological sciences focused on health, illness, and health care, and offer innovative teaching-learning strategies:a. on-city “labs” that prepare students from culturally diverse backgrounds for real life hospital or community clinical situations;b. evidenced-based practice integrated into campus classroom discussions;c. and student cultural emersion in Oriximiná - FFU campus, at Amazonian region.As you can see, the AACSN undergraduate (bachelor degree) and graduate (master´s degree) programs prepare students from the beginning generalist to the advanced practice nurse and the nurse scientist. The AACSN nursing research is recognized nationally for answering questions related to African-Brazilian health and institutional racism, women and children topics (Rosalda Paim, RN, PhD, Full Professor [former]), mental health, and other themes. The AACSN nursing faculty and students benefit the public, the profession, and the University through active individual and group involvement in service activities, promoting and demonstrating excellence in professional nursing practice. Taking advantage of its long history as a part of the Fluminense Federal University, the AACSN will continue to work cooperatively with other health professionals on campus, nationally, and internationally in its search for excellence in teaching, research, practice, and public service.Happy anniversary to the AACSN and a happy new year for all!

Abstract:

This study was conducted to determine the effects of heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) on school and social life in nursing and midwifery students. This sectional study was conducted with 416 female students studying at the nursing and midwifery section of the health-related university higher education institution. The data were collected with a questionnaire including 30 questions on the sociodemographic and menstrual features and the effects of HMB on school and social life. Descriptive statistics were used to evaluate the data while paired comparisons were performed with the chi-square test. The prevalence of HMB determined according to the criteria was found to be 40.6% There was a statistically significant relationship between the presence of HMB in the students and the level of the effect of menstrual bleeding on the physical activity, sleep, productivity at home, and the school, social, family and getting dressed living areas (p<0.05). Those with HMB were found to experience more shortness of breath and sleeplessness, to limit their social activities, and to have difficulties concentrating and understanding the lectures compared to those without HMB; the school success, attendance, social relationships, daily activities, self-confidence, and choosing and using clothing were found to be affected in addition to avoidance of visiting places where a long stay during the day was likely (p<0.05). We found that HMB was common in nursing and midwifery students and that it had a negative effect on the school and social areas along with many areas of their life. The students need to be made more aware of the diagnosis and treatment of HMB and guided so that they show health-seeking behavior in order to decrease the problems experienced in the school and social life areas.

Abstract:

Background: Academic dishonesty has become a serious problem at institutions of higher learning. Research question: What is the frequency of academic dishonesty and what factors affect the tendency of dishonesty among Turkish health science school students? Research design: This descriptive and cross-sectional study aims to evaluate academic dishonesty among university nursing, midwifery, and dietetic students. Participants and research context: The study sample consisted of 499 health science students in Turkey. The tendency toward academic dishonesty was investigated using the Academic Dishonesty Tendency Scale. Ethical considerations: Institutional review board approved the study. Written permission was obtained from the researcher to use Turkish version of the Academic Dishonesty Tendency Scale. Findings: Of all the students, 80.0% claimed to refer to Internet during homework preparation and 49.1% of students reported to cite the references at the end of article on some instances. Of the students, 56.1% claimed never to have cheated in the exams. It was found that academic dishonesty was partly low (1.80–2.59) in students. For students using a library while doing their homework, mean scores were significantly lower ( p < 0.05). There were also statistically significant difference between mean scores and student’s year in school, student’s perception of school success, and frequency of Internet use while doing homework ( p < 0.05). Discussion: The tendency of academic dishonesty was lower among students who use Internet and library more frequently. These findings are consistent with previous studies. Conclusion: Measurements to take against academic dishonesty should be directed toward not only students but institutions and instructors as well.

Abstract:

Choosing a career is a complex and multi-factorial decision-making process that is based on several personal, situational and organizational factors. The purpose of this study is a literature review to determine factors influencing career choice among nursing students. The literature review displays that nursing students make their career decisions from a combination of personal interests in health care and their desire to help others. From the beginning of the studies students may have strong career preferences. Before they graduate and eventually decide about the future workplace, their career choices undergo several transitions. Career choices are influenced both by the students inclination before starting medical school as well as any exposure during training in medical school. Experiences in chosen specialties during training as well as the social environment of the medical school, the teaching programme and clinical staff role models can influence career preferences.

Abstract:

Abstract The Graduate School of Nursing (GSN) was established at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in 1993 to prepare advanced practice nurses, namely family nurse practitioners (FNPs) and nurse anesthetists (CRNAs), for the uniformed services. A study of needs for nurses in the uniformed services in these specialties indicated that by the year 2000 there would be a need requiring a total enrollment in educational programs of 268 CRNAs and 100 FNPs over a 5-year period. Offering the master of science in nursing degree, the GSN has enrolled 61 students in its two programs, and by the end of the 1997 academic year, it will have graduated 19 FNPs and 19 CRNAs. The GSN was authorized by the Department of Defense, Office of Health Affairs, in February 1996. Federal nursing chiefs serve as advisors to the GSN. The GSN received full accreditation from the Council on Accreditation of Nurse Anesthesia Educational Programs in 1994 and from the National League for Nursing in December 1996. All students who have graduated have successfully passed their certification examinations. Supplementing other educational resources, the GSN is helping to meet the educational needs of the uniformed nursing services by introducing pilot programs specifically designed to meet these needs.

Abstract:

Interest in complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) has grown significantly in the United States. In response, numerous medical and nursing schools are now offering CAM courses. Considering the significant overlap of many CAM and public health objectives, it seems prudent for Schools of Public Health to also consider inclusion of this content into graduate training. This study examined the current status of CAM courses in public health programs. Interviews were conduct ed with school representatives attending the American Public Health Association annual meeting in Boston (November, 2000). School representatives reported a substantial interest in CAM among students and faculty, and that many schools were currently offering or considering CAM courses.

Abstract:

This study is aimed to draw the priority of employment support policy for high school graduate youths. To this end, an analysis on the present employment support policies for unemployed high school graduate youths was conducted to draw the issues related to the policies. Based on this, this study intended to seek political directions for unemployed high school graduate youths. The study results are as follows. First, the current employment support policies for Korean youths were designed for high school graduates to participate, but there was a need for a specialized employment support policy with consideration for the characteristics of high school graduates. Second, according to the analysis on the priority of employment support policies for high school graduates from the perspective of importance and feasibility, it was found that employment—linked policies such as the Employment Success Package and SME Long-service Incentives had the highest priority. Last, as a result of deriving the priority of employment support policies for high school graduates based on the overall results with an analysis using Borich Priority Formula, visualized with Hershkowitz threshold function graph, the Employment Success Package and the Work and Learning Dual System were included in a top-priority group. This study has a practical meaning in that it sought ways to effectively achieve political objectives within a limited budget by identifying the employment support policies necessary for high school graduates and prioritizing the policies.

Full text

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to examine compliance with infection prevention and control practice and factors affecting compliance in nursing students who are about to graduate. A cross-sectional survey design was used. A total of 178 students from two nursing colleges in South Korea responded to self-reported questionnaires. Descriptive statistics, independent t-test, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression analysis were conducted. Mean score for compliance was 4.09 ± 0.43 out of 5. The highest score was on compliance with prevention of cross-infection (4.42 ± 0.54) and the lowest was on use of protective devices (3.86 ± 0.78). Non–occupational exposure scores on compliance subcategories were significantly higher than those for occupational exposure. Students’ perception of safe environment for infection control and a positive attitude toward infection control predicted compliance significantly (β = 0.28, p < 0.001; β = 0.18, p = 0.014, respectively). The findings clarify that the level of infection control compliance among Korean nursing students is moderate. In order to increase the level of compliance, a climate that emphasizes a safe environment for healthcare-associated infections should be strengthened. In addition, nursing education should endeavor to develop a positive attitude toward infection prevention.

Abstract:

The OBJN complete three years communicating nursing research much more quickly, broadly, and openly than was possible through traditional print publications. With the OBJN, a scholarly publication, the Brazilian nursing articles may be easily found and freely shared.In its third volume, the OBJN is moving toward more comprehensive context. It is leaving the NAIG (NURSING ACTIVITIES INTEREST GROUP) to be administered by the Professional Master in Nursing Program at theFluminenseFederalUniversityNursingSchool.This upgrade will add value to the OBJN by enriching its editorial policy and linking the journal to a graduate program. Since 2001, the OBJN expanded its subscription to almost 2,000 subscribers. The OBJN have published authors fromBraziland abroad with the collaboration of a international Editorial Board. The OBNJ was included into important nursing and health references databases as LATINDEX, BIREME (LIS-Regional), CAPES (C-Nacional), CUIDEN, RealNurseNet, Nurselinx, UNIFESP, FreemedicalJournals, Nurses.info, DOAJ, Online Nurse Editors, and CINAHL. I am hopeful that the OBJN will be consolidate its trajectory under the coordination of the Professional Master in Nursing. To develop this task, we will have the professors and the graduate students collaboration.

Abstract:

Background: The advances in science and technology increasingly lead to the appearance of ethical issues and to the complexity of care. Therefore, it is important to define the ethics position of students studying in health departments so that high quality patient care can be achieved. Objectives: The aim of this study was to examine the ethics position of the students at Shool of Health of an University in western Turkey. Methods: The study design was descriptive and cross-sectional. The study population included 540 first, second, third, and fourth year students from the Departments of Nursing, Midwifery, and Rescue and Disaster Management in the 2013–2014 academic year. Data were collected with a Personal Identification Form and The Ethics Position Questionnaire. Obtained data were analyzed with Chi-square test, Confirmatory Factor Analysis, and Nested Analysis of Variance. Ethical considerations: Before conducting the research, approval was obtained from Ege University Clinical Research Ethics Committee in İzmir and written informed consent was taken from all the participants. Findings: There was no significant difference in the mean scores for the Ethics Position Questionnaire between the students in terms of years and fields of study. Although the mean scores for the subscale idealism did not differ between fields of study, the mean scores significantly differed between years of study. However, the mean scores for the subscale relativism did not differ in terms of years and fields of study. Discussion: Whether students are idealistic or relativistic in terms of ethical judgment will be effective in ethical decision-making skills during patient care. Therefore, we need to define the factors that influence students’ ethics position in the future. Conclusion: It is suggested that the courses and practices that teach students to be aware of their ethics position to create an ethical outlook can be placed in the curriculum in health schools.

Abstract:

Cross-cultural understanding has been identified as an important graduate capability crucial for global citizenry, and most universities now include cultural skills or competence within their generic graduate capabilities. However, cross-cultural education and pedagogy are specialised areas and few academics are equipped, or have the confidence, to teach in this area. As a consequence, cross-cultural graduate capabilities are rarely effectively measured or assured. Despite these challenges, the Australian higher education sector is increasingly being called upon to Indigenise its curriculum and develop graduates with Indigenous cultural competence (Australian Universities Guiding Principles for Developing Indigenous Cultural Competency, 2011). This paper describes the approach used to introduce a unit into Curtin University's School of Nursing and Midwifery, in partnership with Curtin's Centre for Aboriginal Studies, with the aim of developing graduate Indigenous Australian cultural competence. Pedagogical approaches are discussed and an analysis of quantitative and qualitative data from the University's online student feedback mechanism provided. Results show that although the unit has provided the majority of students with a strong start on their journey to developing Indigenous cultural competence a single course is not sufficient and, consistent with the literature in the field, resistance to compulsory Indigenous content is evident. The paper considers some of the complexities of teaching Indigenous Australian content within a contemporary Australian university. In doing so, the paper explores what Indigenous cultural competency might be and how it might be achieved providing a useful model with application to other disciplines.

New advanced practice roles for nurses are emerging, but few university-based educational programs exist to respond to the need. In developing a Master’s program, Baylor University School of Nursing accepted the challenge to deviate from tradition by preparing a nurse who has the advanced knowledge and skills necessary to proactively address the present and future needs of health care in multiple settings and roles. This article discusses this unique and creative program in patient care management. Outcome evaluation reveals that students are attaining the terminal objectives, meeting the outcome criteria, and readily securing employment.

Abstract:

This study examined parental perceptions of the benefits and barriers to bicycle helmet use and their level of knowledge about bicycle safety issues. A school-based bicycle safety education program was taught to first- and second-grade students in a rural/suburban school district by a graduate nursing student. Pender’s Health Promotion Model was the theoretical framework used to guide this research study. A parent Bicycle Helmet Questionnaire (BHQ) developed by the author was the tool used to gather data. The study determined that parents of children in schools that received the educational intervention prior to completing the questionnaire had significantly higher knowledge level scores and that the majority of parents were in favor of bicycle helmet legislation for children. The implications from this research study include the importance of bicycle safety education interventions for students and parents and the need to implement bicycle helmet legislation.

Abstract:

Background and Objectives: The University of Utah (UU) serves an increasingly diverse state and houses the only public medical school, dental school, and college of pharmacy in the state. Utah’s diversity in the health professions lags behind the diversity of its general population, and the nation. Methods: The Health Sciences Learning, Engagement, Achievement, and Progress (HS-LEAP) Program is a 4-year undergraduate pipeline program intended to increase racial and ethnic diversity in the health professions, specifically focused on students underrepresented in medicine (URM). Each student self-identified and submitted demographics at the time of enrollment. We followed students to successful engagement in their profession of choice; we compared graduation and postgraduation outcomes to non-HS-LEAP students at UU from 2005-2016. Results: Almost 80% of HS-LEAP students are from communities underrepresented in medicine: 41% Latinx, 28% Asian, 7% Black, 2% American Indian/Alaskan Native, and 1% Pacific Islander. HS-LEAP students had lower ACT scores upon undergraduate enrollment, higher grade point averages in their first semester of college, higher fall-to-fall first-year retention rates, and higher 6-year graduation rates when compared to non-HS-LEAP UU students. Students who completed HS-LEAP attended graduate school at twice the rate of students who participated in HS-LEAP, the majority in the health professions. Conclusions: The HS-LEAP program is associated with increased URM success in undergraduate programs and elevated participation in graduate programs in medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, physician assistant, nursing, and public health. Similar programs, with continuous assessment and evaluation, could be adopted in other locations to improve the representation of these groups in health professions.

Abstract:

The aim of this study was to examine the effect of Type D personality, along with other personality traits (resilience and sense of coherence), on burnout syndrome and its counterpart, engagement, among students of nursing, midwifery, and psychology. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 97 university students (91.9% females; M age = 20.2 ± 1.49 years). A Type D personality subscale, School Burnout Inventory, Utrecht Work Engagement Scale, Sense of Coherence Questionnaire, and Baruth Protective Factor Inventory were used. Linear regression models, Student’s t test, and Pearson’s correlation analysis were employed. Negative affectivity, a dimension of Type D personality, was a significant personality predictor for burnout syndrome (β = .54; 95% CI = [0.33, 1.01]). The only significant personality predictor of engagement was a sense of coherence. Students who were identified as having Type D personality characteristics scored significantly higher on the burnout syndrome questionnaire ( t = −2.58, p < .01). In health care professions, personality predictors should be addressed to prevent burnout.

Introduction: It is important for graduate-level nursing students to be competent in the issues involved in the social determinants of health and health disparities and have the tools to address them as graduates. Method: As part of a nursing workforce diversity program, master’s-level nursing students were required to participate in a service learning project exposing them to an issue not directly linked to health—long bus rides for students as a result of school consolidations—to achieve educational goals and objectives while providing a service to an advocacy agency. Results: Eighteen students completed the project, providing the advocacy agency with firsthand accounts about the impact of long bus rides and in-depth reviews of literature on the topic and laws and regulations of other states. Conclusion: These results further support providing nursing students opportunities to fully engage with multicultural communities to gain a broader understanding of health disparities and social determinants of health.

Abstract:

In response to the need for increased racial and ethnic diversity in the nursing profession, the Duke University School of Nursing (DUSON) established the Academy for Academic and Social Enrichment for Leadership Development in Health Equity (Health Equity Academy). The aim of the Health Equity Academy is to improve the diversity of the nursing workforce by expanding nursing education opportunities for underrepresented minority (URM) students who are economically disadvantaged to prepare for, enroll in, and graduate from the DUSON’s Accelerated Bachelors of Science in Nursing program. The goal of this program is to cultivate URM nursing graduates with advanced knowledge and leadership skills who can address health disparities and positively influence health care issues currently plaguing underrepresented populations. The article discusses the Health Equity Academy framework, which consists of two unique components: the Pre-entry Immersion in Nursing and the Pathway to Success in Nursing (PSN). These two components are designed to address the nursing student individual level social determinants which could be potential barriers to success as well as provide support in their academic and professional development goals.

Abstract:

Since the colonial era, there have been attempts to provide clinical childbirth services by establishing midwifery schools. Although these schools were closed, reorganized then re-opened several times, in an effort to graduate native midwives in the colony. The majority of the European doctors believed the existence of native midwives could reduce mortality rates for difficult deliveries. The colonial government also tried to replace dukun beranak (local midwives) with graduate midwives, as many doctors considered dukun beranak practices unsafe and unhygienic. Of note, even though midwifery school graduates provided childbirth services, most of the population preferred to use dukun beranak. This situation continued until independence. Dukun beranak remained the preferred provider of assistance among the working and lower class. The continued popularity of the dukun beranak can be seen as a colonial failure to replace them. After the proclamation of Indonesian independence, midwives who supported the Indonesian Republic, still provided childbearing assistance although with limited infrastructure and inadequate personnel during the independence war. Midwives also founded a midwifes association, rebuilt the national midwifery system, and discontinued colonial elements. This transformation can be interpreted as the decolonisation of midwifery. Midwives and dukun beranak were the available options for assisting in the labour of an Indonesian woman. The Indonesian government had a different approach to the colonial government toward society and dukun beranak and built cooperation between midwives and the dukun beranak. The cooperative work among midwives and dukun beranak changed awareness of Indonesian women’s reproductive health matters. This article traces efforts to provide safer childbirth services by looking at the problem through the lens of midwives and dukun beranak relations. The evolution of this relationship shows the decolonisation process inside midwifery and childbearing services.

Abstract:

Anthropologists have a unique opportunity to address real-world issues of aging in our own country. In graduate school I decided to redirect an ethnomusicological interest in ritual performance into an anthropological perspective on the subject of age. For one thing, as a new parent, I realized I was aging. Performance based questions in ethnomusicological suggested a lens through which to view aging. I did my dissertation on an American nursing home, applying concepts of rites of passage, performance and reciprocity to understand the behavior and the perspectives of nursing home participants. In subsequent years I have had two more opportunities to use the anthropologic lens to focus on aging in Rhode Island, first, as an educator in a nursing home and, second, as a participant in a health care reform project for the elderly of Rhode Island.
