Stress and Coping Among Nursing Students During the Introductory Internships Training

Background: Introductory internships are essential in the nursing profession. Nursing students are often new to nursing and caregiving and are learning to deal with many different people and situations. As a result, they are exposed to many types of stress in their internship. Strategies to cope with these stressors are crucial because the stressors can negatively impact the students’ learning and performance. The objective of this study was to examine the stressors in introductory internships and the coping strategies employed by first-time nursing interns. Methods: A cross-sectional study design was used. Convenience sampling was used to recruit 266 nursing students from a junior college of medicine, nursing, and management in northern Taiwan. A questionnaire that consisted of the participants’ basic information, a stress of internship scale, and a coping strategies scale was administered to the participants. The data were analyzed using SPSS 22 statistical software. Results: The stress of assignments and workloads was the primary stressor perceived by the interns (2.81 ± 0.79). The overall status of stressors in the internship program was at a moderate level, with a mean of 2.43 (SD = 0.52). However, the students tended to adopt ineffective coping strategies more frequently when they perceived a high level of stress from nursing personnel (r = .12, p < .05), peers (r = .15, p < .05), lack of professional knowledge and skills (r = .14, p < .05), internship environment (r = .15, p < .05) and overall stress of the clinical internship program (r = .17, p < .01). The most common coping strategy used was problem-based coping (3.0 ± 0.48), followed by ineffective coping strategies and emotion-focused coping. Conclusions: The results of this study shed light on the stressors exposed to first-time nursing interns and the coping strategies used by the students. The findings can serve as a reference for college educators and clinical instructors to teach the students how to cope with the stress of their internship through positive and active strategies.

METODE PENGADUAN FASILITAS PERKULIAHAN DAN PRAKTIKUM BERBASIS WEB (STUDI KASUS: STIKOM UYELINDO KUPANG)

The more rapid development of universities in Indonesia, the competition between universities is getting bigger so that the quality and facilities of each university greatly affect the attractiveness and competitiveness of universities. College of Computer Informatics Management (STIKOM) Uyelindo Kupang has 672 students. The campus of STIKOM Uyelindo Kupang has three departments, namely, first-class informatics engineering, undergraduate information systems and D3 informatics engineering with each accredited B. The development and improvement of lecture and practicum facility services at (STIKOM) Uyelindo Kupang is very important to be monitored and maintained. If the campus has provided services and facilities for students but these services and facilities are not monitored and maintained, sooner or later the services and facilities provided will be damaged and can no longer be used. The purpose of this research is to build a complaint information system website for lecture facilities and practicum to help and facilitate students. Based on the results of the test analysis using the Slovin method, there is an average value of 87% with Strongly Agree (SS) criteria. Even with the index value, when viewed based on the type of variable, there are several question items with unfavorable criteria. Question items with these criteria need to be considered for future website development. In the future, the website development will take into account the lowest index value of each indicator, especially those with poor and bad criteria.

Enterprise architecture design using TOGAF at foundation of triputra persada horizon education

The use of information technology in the field of education is currently a top priority for managing academic and supporting activities. Tri Putra Persada Horizon Education Foundation which manages two high schools, namely the College of Health Sciences and the College of Information and Computer Management should face a challenge to align business strategy with information technology, and how to integrate all the parts involved in the business and represent it in an information system. To find out the business strategy and governance of information technology used at the Tri Putra Persada Horizon Education Foundation, an Enterprises Architecture Framework is needed, one of which is TOGAF ADM. The Enterprises Architecture design contained in TOGAF ADM includes a vision architecture that defines the vision of the company or agency, a mapped business architecture in the form of value chain analysis, an information system architecture in which there is a data architecture and application architecture and the last is technology architecture. This research produced an enterprise architecture design blueprint consisting of artifacts, in the form of catalogues, matrices, and diagrams based on the phases of TOGAF ADM. The result of the Enterprise Architecture design was an integrated information system recommendation and the technology architecture. The design is expected to be a reference in improving the quality of business and is expected to make it easier to achieve the business goals of the Tri Putra Persada Horizon Education Foundation.
