BackgroundNurses around the world are expected to demonstrate competence in performing mental status evaluation. However, there is a gap between what is taught in class and what is practiced for patients with mental illness among nursing students during MSE performance. It is believed that proper pedagogics may enhance this competence. A longitudinal controlled quasi-experimental study design was used to evaluate the effect of using standardized patient simulation-based pedagogics embedded with a lecture in enhancing mental status evaluation cognition among nursing students in Tanzania.MethodsA longitudinal controlled quasi-experimental study design with pre-and post-test design studied 311 nursing students in the Tanga and Dodoma regions. The Standardized Patient Simulation-Based Pedagogy (SPSP) package was administered to the intervention group. Both groups underwent baseline and post-test assessments using a Interviewer-adminstered structured questionnaire as the primary data collection tool, which was benchmarked from previous studies. The effectiveness of the intervention was assessed using both descriptive and inferential statistics, specifically the Difference in Difference linear mixed model, and the t-test was carried out using IBM Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) software, version 25.ResultsThe participant’s mean age was 21 years ± 2.69 with 68.81% of the students being female. Following the training Students in the intervention group demonstrated a significant increase in MSE cognition post-test, with an overall mean score of (M ± SD = 22.15 ± 4.42;p = < 0.0001), against (M ± SD = 16.52 ± 6.30) for the control group.ConclusionA significant difference exists in the levels of cognition, among nursing students exposed to Mental Status Evaluation (MSE) materials through Standardized Patient Simulation-Based Pedagogy (SPSP) embeded with lectures.

Does Person-of-the-Therapist Training (POTT) Promote Self-Caring Attitude for Trainees in a Chinese Society? A Directed Content Analysis at a University in Taiwan

ABSTRACT Literature has demonstrated the importance of self-care for marriage and family therapists (MFTs) and trainees. However, little research elaborated on how we can promote self-care in therapist training and education, especially in Chinese societies. This study focused on the self-caring attitude graduate students reported after enrolling in a Person-of-the-Therapist Training (POTT) class taught at a university in Taiwan.

Exploring the Habits of Taking Photos in Class among College Students Majoring in Mathematics

With the development of College teaching and learning, some students majoring in mathematics have switched to using electronic devices to take photos instead of notes for recording. The purpose of this research is to explore the causes of this phenomenon. Research on this phenomenon can help improve students' learning and teachers' teaching in class. The research method used in this study is the interview method and interviewees are the undergraduates majoring in mathematics who have the habit of taking photos in class. The conclusions drawn from this study are as follows: (1) Taking photos is not satisfactory for learning. (2) The phenomenon can be attributed to the following factors: In terms of students, firstly, their learning concept is utilitarian and their learning motivation is weak. Secondly, some students are lazy about taking notes on non-exam content. Thirdly, some students have difficulty understanding the knowledge in class. Lastly, taking notes by hand is not organized. In terms of teachers, their lectures are too fast and illogical. In other aspects, taking photos has the advantage of clarity and convenience. Furthermore, students who take photos will subconsciously motivate other students to take photos in class. Based on the above analysis, in order to improve this phenomenon, it is suggested to improve students' note-taking ability, change students' learning concepts and improve teachers' information-based teaching level.
