What influences mentors’ satisfaction with social work practical training in Slovenia?

Practical training is essential while preparing for a career in social work. The quality of the practical training available depends on the providers, especially mentors in the field (also known as field mentors, instructors or field supervisors, hereafter referred as mentors). The satisfaction of a mentor is not only important for good mentoring but also for making them willing to mentor another social work student. Secondary quantitative data from the Centre of Practical Study at a Faculty of Social Work were obtained and analyzed using linear regression and structural models to answer the research question concerning what influences the satisfaction of mentors. The research showed that mentors are satisfied with the social work practice. Overall satisfaction rises with both the number of motives associated with the school and a better assessment of the student involved. Where satisfaction with elements of practice is an independent variable, overall satisfaction is best explained by satisfaction with the content of the practice, student motivation, self-initiative, and the mentor’s collaboration with the school. Understanding what makes mentors satisfied with a practical placement is important for improving the quality of practical training provided in social work. Satisfaction on a higher level can add to a mentor’s motivation to participate in the training of social work students. The sub-optimal (no financial and other compensation) system of mentoring in social work means that the factors to which social work schools in this area must pay attention are the content of the practice itself and the quality of the students.

GSA STUDENT CHAPTERS: THE BEGINNING AND HOW TO START A CHAPTER AT YOUR INSTITUTION

Abstract The Gerontological Society of America (GSA) Student Chapter pilot project was approved by the GSA Board of Directors in December 2020. A GSA representative committee was identified where all GSA member groups were represented, including the selection of three ESPO members who applied to participate. Within a year, a GSA Student Chapter Handbook was written by the committee and reviewed by a GSA Student Advisory Panel (ESPO members who applied and agreed to serve). With the support of the GSA leadership and staff, nine higher education institutions (HEIs) volunteered to pilot a GSA Student Chapter (eight in the U.S. and one in Portugal) during the 2022-23 academic year. The first part of this session will provide information on how to create, implement, and operate a GSA Student Chapter at your HEI. The second part of this session will focus on health professions programs and integrating GSA Student Chapters with other national chapters. With a strong support system and mentoring system within ESPO, health professions programs may benefit from having student chapters integrate from various national organizations. These may provide advancement in learning skills, attitudes and knowledge, along with an extensive network of fellow students and practitioners to support their pre-clinical and clinical health professions education. This enhancement for Student Chapters, GSA with other organization chapters provides national and possibly international organizational connections/networking that will serve students throughout their careers.

Paediatric nurses' experiences of success and failure in first-time peripheral intravenous catheter insertion: A qualitative study

PurposeTo explore in-depth the thoughts, anxiety factors, and experiences of paediatric nurses regarding the success and failure of first-time peripheral intravenous catheter insertion. Design and methodsThe study employed a qualitative research method using the phenomenology design. Face-to-face semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with nurses (N = 12) working in the paediatric service and neonatal intensive care unit of a teaching and research hospital. The transcripts were analysed using a phenomenological approach and an inductive process. ResultsFour themes were identified: Peripheral Intravenous Catheter Insertion, Experience of Success on the First Attempt, Experience of Failure on the First Attempt, and Proposed Solutions. Nurses felt a sense of happiness when they successfully inserted a peripheral intravenous catheter on their first attempt in paediatric patients. Conversely, they experienced emotions such as sadness, worry, stress, and anxiety when they failed and had to make repeated attempts. ConclusionUnsuccessful peripheral intravenous catheter insertions cause distress and anxiety for nurses, patients, and parents alike. Therefore, nurses' experiences of peripheral intravenous catheter insertions in healthcare settings should not be ignored and require improvement. Implications for clinical practiceUnsuccessful peripheral intravenous catheter insertions affect children, parents, and nurses negatively, thus reducing the success rate of repeated peripheral intravenous catheter insertions. Therefore, it is advisable for nurses conducting paediatric peripheral intravenous catheterisations to undergo periodic training. A specialised intervention team should be established for cases of initial failure, and a mentoring system between seasoned and new nurses is recommended.

However, with the influence of comprehensive factors such as the exponential growth of human knowledge and the year-on-year increase in the pressure of the job market, undergraduates have paid significantly less attention to graduation design, which has led to a continuous decline in the quality of graduation design, which in turn has manifested itself in the decline of the quality of undergraduate education. Combined with the professional mentorship system in undergraduate education, this paper investigates the effective methods to improve the undergraduate graduation design under the professional mentorship system and puts them into practice and the results show that the methods in this paper can effectively improve the quality of undergraduate graduation design.

MEDIA KOMUNIKASI SANTRI DAN ALUMNI PONDOK PESANTREN ROBITHOTUL ASHFIYA' BERBASIS WEBSITE

Founded in 1990, Robithotul Ashfiya Islamic Boarding School has had students spread across the archipelago. However, the communication media between alumni and students are still limited to social media such as FB and What’sapp group. This makes information often not well-conveyed and well-documented. Since the place is located quite far from the city center, this Islamic boarding school is not well-known by the public, so it requires qualified promotional media. With the establishment of cooperation between the Islamic boarding schools and Universitas Qomaruddin, a solution is found to the existing problems, namely the realization of a boarding school website. The system development methodology used is SDLC (System Development Life Cycle). Feasibility studies and investigations are carried out directly to the site. Requirement analysis includes functional and non-functional requirements of the system. System design uses UML (Unified Modeling Language) and level diagrams. Application is in the form of system development using the CMS (Content Management System) wordpress and system implementation. Regular review and maintenance are with a direct mentoring system in the form of system management training and monitoring system use. The result of the community service is a finished product of a boarding school website and website management training for the boarding school system administrators. With the existence of the website, now the Robithotul Ashfiya Islamic boarding school can make promotions to the community more easily and provide better information to its students and alumni.

Mentoring as complementary support for learner engagement

Student engagement is linked to student success and shaped by the availability of student support through their academic journeys. Improving engagement with adequate support strategies is a continuous challenge for open and distance learning (ODL) institutions. However, there is limited understanding of how student engagement experience can be influenced by a support team outside the instructional context of faculty presence. In 2020, the Open Polytechnic (OP) Te P?kenga, a specialist provider of open distance education in New Zealand, implemented a three-tiered framework for student support. This system includes technology-supported mentoring interventions that are aligned to, and separate from, academic faculty support; the mentoring system gives students access to consistent engagement opportunities during their course journeys. The current project examines how students perceived these mentoring interventions, and this paper specifically examines the perceptions of newly enrolled online students on their experiences of the mentoring interventions during onboarding. Students in two introductory level block courses participated in an online, qualitative survey and their responses were thematically analysed following a deductive approach. Key themes in the data were related to the concepts of transactional presence and emotional engagement. These findings demonstrate the value of complementary non-academic support during student onboarding.
