A Coorientation Analysis of Perception on Bionursing between Clinical Nurses and Nursing Professors

30 Nov 2012-Vol. 14, Iss: 3, pp 212-220
TL;DR: Perceptions of clinical nurses on bionursesing as well as satisfaction and importance about subjects of bionursing were identified to be different from those of professors.
Abstract: Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare perception on bionursing and satisfaction and importance about bionursing subjects of clinical nurses with that of professors using a coorientation model. Methods: Subjects for this study consisted of 135 clinical nurses at a tertiary hospital and 114 nursing professors. Questionnaire for perception on bionursing consisted of competency of professor, linkage with clinical practice and research of bionursing. Perceptions on bionursing education and research, satisfaction and importance about subjects of bionursing were measured. The data were analyzed by t-test. Results: Perception of clinical nurses on research of bionursing was more positive than professors. Perception of professors on research of bionursing was significantly less than that of professors estimated by clinical nurses. Perception of clinical nurses on linkage with clinical practice and research of bionursing estimated by nursing professor was significantly less than that of clinical nurses. Satisfaction of clinical nurses with the subjects of bionursing was significantly less than that of professors. Clinical nurses perceived anatomy the most important while pro fessors perceived physiology the most important. Conclusion: Perceptions of clinical nurses on bionursing as well as satisfaction and importance about subjects of bionursing were identified to be different from those of professors.

이러한 문제를 해결하기위해 대한기초간호자연과학회에서는 의

  • 과학 모델에서 탈피하여 간호학적 모형에서 기초간호자연과학이 라는 간호학 고유의 교과목명으로 전환시켰으며.
  • 기초간호자연과학에 근거한 생행동연구(biobehavioral research)는 정신, 심리, 환경, 감성적 요소 및 의생물학적 요인들을 건강행위와 엮어 상호 간의 유기적인 관계 를 이해함으로써 건강을 증진시키려는 연구방법이며 전인적 건강 을 지향하는 간호의 철학적 토대와 일치한다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare perception on bionursing and satisfaction and importance about bionursing
subjects of clinical nurses with that of professors using a coorientation model. Methods: Subjects for this study consisted of 135
clinical nurses at a tertiary hospital and 114 nursing professors. Questionnaire for perception on bionursing consisted of competency
of professor, linkage with clinical practice and research of bionursing. Perceptions on bionursing education and research, satisfaction
and importance about subjects of bionursing were measured. The data were analyzed by t-test. Results: Perception of clinical nurses
on research of bionursing was more positive than professors. Perception of professors on research of bionursing was significantly
less than that of professors estimated by clinical nurses. Perception of clinical nurses on linkage with clinical practice and research of
bionursing estimated by nursing professor was significantly less than that of clinical nurses. Satisfaction of clinical nurses with the
subjects of bionursing was significantly less than that of professors. Clinical nurses perceived anatomy the most important while pro-
fessors perceived physiology the most important. Conclusion: Perceptions of clinical nurses on bionursing as well as satisfaction and
importance about subjects of bionursing were identified to be different from those of professors.

TL;DR: It is suggested that early prediction and treatment of patients with high risk of ICU transfer may improve the prognosis of patients.
Abstract: Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze risk factors in predicting medical patients transferred to Intensive Care Unit (ICU) on the general ward. Methods: We reviewed retrospectively clinical data of 120 medical patients on the general ward and a Modified Early Warning Score (MEWS) between ICU group and general ward group. Data were analyzed with multivariate logistic regression and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curves using SPSS/WIN 18.0 program. Results: Fifty-two ICU patients and 68 general ward patients were included. In multivariate logistic regression, the MEWSs (Odds Ratio [OR], 1.91; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.32-2.76), sequential organ failure assessment score (OR, 1.28; 95% CI, 1.10-1.72), PaO2/FiO2 ratio (OR, 0.98; 95% CI, 0.98-0.99), and saturation (OR, 0.93; 95% CI, 0.88-0.99) were predictive of ICU transfer. The sensitivity and the specificity of the MEWSs used with a cut-off value of six were 80.8% and 70.6% respectively for ICU transfer. Conclusion: These findings suggest that early prediction and treatment of patients with high risk of ICU transfer may improve the prognosis of patients.

TL;DR: The study identified that the majority of students found the lectures, tutorials and practical sessions to be beneficial to their learning and the combination reiterates and emphasises various life science concepts.
Abstract: The student population in universities is very diverse: ranging ages, experiences, culture, level of preparedness and learning styles. This diversity presents academics with increasing challenges to motivate and promote student understanding. The aim of the current study was to develop knowledge of different learning styles among first year health science students and determine the benefits that students obtain from each teaching strategy. A questionnaire was designed for quantitative data collection, consisting of two sections. The first section sought student feedback on their experiences of lectures, tutorials and practical classes; the second section, consists of the 'VARK test', Visual, Aural, Read/write, Kinesthetic sensory modalities determines the different ways of receiving information [Fleming, N.D., 1995. I'm different; not dumb. Modes of presentation (VARK) in the tertiary classroom. In: Zelmer, A. (Ed.), Annual Conference of the Higher Education and Research Development Society of Australasia. J.]. The study identified that the majority of students found the lectures, tutorials and practical sessions to be beneficial to their learning and the combination reiterates and emphasises various life science concepts. The most favoured strategy was practical sessions, while tutorials were seen as least useful. The sensory mode the majority of students preferred to receive information was kinesthetic, the hands on approach to learning. Students are diverse creatures with differing abilities and mode for learning. There is no single right way to present material but by providing several different approaches the differing learning styles of students can be accommodated.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the situation further by comparing student perceptions with those of experienced practitioners and also evaluated the confidence of staff nurses in explaining the rationale for care applied to a common but specific disorder (influenza).
Abstract: Concerns have been expressed that bioscience education is not meeting the needs of nursing students in the UK. This paper explores the situation further by comparing student perceptions with those of experienced practitioners (Part One of the study) and also evaluates the confidence of staff nurses in explaining the rationale for care applied to a common but specific disorder (influenza; Part Two). Questionnaires were used. Responses were elicited from DipHE Nursing (Project 2000) adult/child branch students (n=153) from two universities and from adult/child care staff from their local clinical placements (n=171 in Part One of study; n=266 in Part Two). The questions asked followed two themes: (1) confidence in understanding biological science and (2) issues of teaching and learning. Most questions utilized a rating scale from 1 to 10; this scale provides no central value and a vertical line was drawn to encourage respondents to identify which half of the scale their responses came under (basically, a negative or positive viewpoint). The significance of the data distribution either side of the midline was analysed statistically (simple sign test), as were any differences in distribution between the groups (chi-square test). Median values were also determined. The data do not provide support for views that the biosciences are being significantly diminished by modern curricula, but also show no evidence for a great improvement in the bioscience knowledge base in recent years. What was surprising was the lack of confidence expressed by staff nurses: one illuminating finding was the lack of confidence in articulating their knowledge to patients and, even less so, to other health professionals. The paper reiterates a need for a national teaching and learning strategy for pre- and postregistration education in the biosciences. In particular, a means to raise the level of understanding of staff nurses must be identified urgently so that the mentoring of students in these subjects is improved.

TL;DR: The findings revealed that newly qualified nurses have specific needs, many of which are unrealised, and that management and staff must remain cognisant of the fact that many newly registered nurses have relatively limited clinical experience at the time of registration.
Abstract: This paper reports on newly qualified nurses' experiences of the transition from being a nursing student to becoming a registered nurse. The aim of the study was to ascertain how newly qualified nurses perceived their role transition in an Irish general hospital. Data were gathered using in-depth interviews with 12 nurses who were within one year of qualification. A grounded theory approach was used to generate, analyse and synthesise the data. The findings revealed that newly qualified nurses have specific needs, many of which are unrealised. The vast and increased workload, which involved less patient-contact and more non-nursing duties, came as a surprise to participants in this study. The expectation of in-depth knowledge, coupled with feelings of increased responsibility and compounded by relatively little experience did little to ease the transition to becoming a newly qualified nurse. There is a need to contextualise the transition to registration so that expectations of newly qualified nurses are realistic. Management and staff must remain cognisant of the fact that many newly registered nurses have relatively limited clinical experience at the time of registration.

TL;DR: Investigating the perceptions of 184 nursing students and nurse educators in relation to bioscience in the nursing curriculum suggested that some nurse educators and clinical preceptors may not have sufficient science background or bioscience knowledge, to help nursing students apply bios science knowledge to practice.
Abstract: This study used a curriculum inquiry framework to investigate the perceptions of 184 nursing students and nurse educators in relation to bioscience in the nursing curriculum. These participants’ attitudes to science and bioscience, self-efficacy in bioscience and perceptions of bioscience were investigated using scales based on previous research. Nursing students were found to have significantly more positive attitudes to bioscience in nursing education than nurse educators, and nurse educators were not found to have significantly better self-efficacy in bioscience than the students, although this might have been expected. The results of focus group discussions, used to investigate this in more depth, suggested that some nurse educators and clinical preceptors may not have sufficient science background or bioscience knowledge, to help nursing students apply bioscience knowledge to practice. As a result of this, it is suggested that the aims of the intended and prescribed nursing curricula are not being fulfilled in the implemented curriculum. Because of the increasing acuity of illness in hospitals, the fact that nurses are becoming more autonomous in their practice and the increasing expectation that nurses, in some cases, will be able to prescribe as well as administer medications, bioscience knowledge is becoming even more important. The teaching of bioscience and its application to clinical practice needs to improve if nurses are to be credible members of the multi-disciplinary team.

TL;DR: The study was designed to explore the teaching and learning of the biological sciences in nurse education in an attempt to identify why some students are failing to support their practice with theory.
Abstract: The study was designed to explore the teaching and learning of the biological sciences in nurse education in an attempt to identify why some students are failing to support their practice with theory. Questionnaires were sent to third-year nurse students (n = 140) and nurse teachers (n = 43) in three schools of nursing. Several findings emerged from the study: (a) the balance between the behavioural and biological sciences in nurse education was perceived by the students as being too much in favour of the behavioural sciences; (b) the level of knowledge from the biological science taught was perceived by the students as being inappropriate for RGN training; (c) teachers felt inadequately prepared to teach the biological sciences and, similarly, nurse students felt inadequately prepared in these sciences; and (d) self-directed methods of teaching and learning, although used most frequently, were perceived by the students as being the most ineffective.
