Nursing students satisfaction and self-confidence with standardized patient palliative care simulation focusing on difficult conversations.

Lack of experience communicating with patients and families at the end of life are key concerns for nursing students. Palliative care simulation using standardized patients (SPs) focusing on difficult conversations may lead to increased self-confidence in providing palliative and end-of-life care in clinical practice. There is currently a paucity of research on SP palliative care simulations in undergraduate nursing education. The objective of this research was to assess 3rd year undergraduate nursing students' levels of satisfaction and self-confidence with palliative and end-of-life care simulations focusing on difficult conversations, as measured by the Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning Scale (SSSCLS) and the Simulation Design Scale (SDS). A descriptive post-intervention study. Four palliative care simulation days, consisting of 2 clinical scenarios, were conducted over 4 weeks. The first simulation was an outpatient palliative care clinic scenario, and the second was an inpatient hospital scenario. Nursing students enrolled in a 3rd year nursing palliative care elective (n = 51) at an Australian university were invited to participate. Students who attended simulation days were eligible to participate (n = 31). Immediately post-simulation, students were invited to complete the SSSCLS and the SDS. Fifty-seven surveys were completed (simulation 1, n = 28; simulation 2, n = 29). The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results showed that students had high levels of self-confidence in developing palliative care and communication skills after both simulation experiences and high levels of satisfaction with the SP simulations. The lack of published literature on palliative care and end-of-life SP simulation highlights the need to collect further evidence to support this as an innovative approach to teaching palliative care. SP palliative care simulation focusing on difficult conversations assists in developing students' communication skills and improves satisfaction and self-confidence with palliative and end-of-life care.

Impact of resilience-based intervention on emotional regulation, grit and life satisfaction among female Egyptian and Saudi nursing students: A randomized controlled trial

AimEvaluate and compare the impact of a resilience-based intervention on emotional regulation, grit and life satisfaction among female Egyptian and Saudi nursing students. BackgroundNursing students should experience a comprehensive learning environment since they are mind-body-spirit creatures. Therefore, nursing education should emphasize growing students' physical, social, emotional and spiritual well-being in addition to their knowledge, skills and attitudes. DesignThis study followed a parallel arm randomized controlled trial design. Study participants were randomly assigned to the intervention or control groups in a (1:1) ratio. It was conducted between January 2023 and the end of April 2023. MethodStudents were randomly allocated to the eight-week resilience intervention (n= 60) or a control (n= 60) group (half of the students in each group were from each country). The intervention group received a pamphlet and attended eight weekly 15-person sessions on resilience, grit (perseverance), emotional regulation and self-care. The Emotion Regulation Questionnaire, the Short Grit Scale and the Satisfaction with Life Scales were administered pre- and immediately post-intervention. ResultsBetween pre- and post-intervention, there were significant improvements in grit (from 41.374.27 to 51.235.22 among Egyptian students with an effect size of 0.663 and from 42.974.30 to 54.103.87 among Saudi students with an effect size of 0.800), as well as mean emotional regulation (from 36.635.11 to 55.707.51 among Egyptian students with an effect size of 0.818 and from 44.606.87 to 61. With a substantial effect size of 0.850 (p0.001), Egyptian nursing students experienced a more significant rise in mean life satisfaction than Saudi nursing students (18.336.54 to 29.305.14). ConclusionResilience-based interventions enhanced emotional regulation, grit and life satisfaction in Egyptian and Saudi female nursing students. Grit, resilience and emotional regulation should be incorporated into nurse training to equip female students with the necessary values and protective factors to succeed in their studies.Given the unique challenges and stressors that female nursing students may face, nursing programs and institutions must provide resources and support services to help students manage stress and build resilience.

Satisfaction and self-confidence among nursing students with simulation learning during COVID-19

AimThis survey aimed to investigate nursing students’ satisfaction and self-confidence in simulation in education during the COVID-19 pandemic. Along with comparing these levels based on selected students’ characteristics.DesignA cross-sectional survey.MethodsThe survey was conducted at the faculty of nursing of a private university in Jordan. Students’ satisfaction and self-confidence levels in simulation learning were measured using the National League for Nursing (NLN) Student Satisfaction and Self-confidence in Learning Scales.ResultsA total of 138 undergraduate nursing students participated in the survey. Students’ satisfaction levels and self-confidence in simulation learning were lower (just above the scale’s midpoint) than scores reported in similar surveys. The lowest student ratings were reported as “the variety of learning activities that can be done using simulation” and “the self-confidence to develop the needed skills and knowledge to be used in real clinical settings”. The results also indicated that as students’ progress in the bachelor’s degree program, they develop higher levels of self-confidence in simulation-based learning.ConclusionsNursing students’ experience of simulation learning was observed to be negatively affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. High-fidelity simulation, in particular, among other simulation modalities, can be more beneficial in similar situations. Education stakeholders are invited to invest in the resources of high-fidelity simulation to maximize its benefits and help in the recovery phase after the pandemic.

Factors Associated with Nursing Student Satisfaction with Their Clinical Learning Environment at Wolkite University in Southwest Ethiopia

The clinical learning environment has been defined as "an interactive network of strengths within the clinical environment that influence the clinical learning outcomes of students. Understanding students' level of satisfaction with their clinical learning environment is crucial to ensuring the required teaching and learning process. Therefore, this study was designed to assess the level of satisfaction with the CLE among nursing students at the Wolkite University of Ethiopia. A cross-sectional study was conducted at Wolkite University. This study was carried out in March 2022 on 208 student nurses selected by purposive and convenient sampling techniques. This study used the English version of the Clinical Learning Environment and Supervision + Nurse Teacher (CLES + T) evaluation scale. The collected data were cleaned, coded, and entered into Epi data 3.1, and then, statistical analyses were performed using SPSS version 26. Bivariate and multivariable logistic regression models were used to identify factors associated with the satisfaction level of nursing students towards CLE. Adjusted odds ratios (AORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated, and p values < 0.05 were considered to indicate statistical significance. More than half of the study participants were females, and nearly half (50.5%) of the participants were in year three of the nursing program. The study found that 39.9% (95%CI: 32.2%, 46.6%) of students were satisfied with their CLE. Factors that had a significant association with the satisfaction level of nursing students towards CLE were gender (female students) (AOR = 16.053 (6.397, 40.286)), year of study (4th year) (AOR = 6.296 (2.679, 14.796)), and the type of the hospital in which their last clinical placement was held (at a primary hospital) (AOR = 2.961 (1.122, 7.815)). Effective nursing education programs need to be developed to increase satisfaction with clinical practice and to promote positive emotional regulation in nursing students. Nurse practitioners and managers should be aware of their important role in the professional development of students and their satisfaction with clinical placements.

Establishing Reliability of an Instrument Measuring Nursing Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning in a Service-Learning Clinical Environment.

Currently there is no dedicated instrument for measuring nursing students' beliefs and attitudes about learning clinical skills in the service-learning (SL) environment. The National League for Nursing Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning Scale (SCLS) was adapted as an SL assessment and administered to students in their final semester of a prelicensure baccalaureate program. Findings from this psychometric evaluation indicate that the SCLS is a reliable instrument for measuring student self-confidence in learning. Establishment of this tool provides evidence to ensure that judgments made about SL educational practices in clinical nursing courses are beneficial and credible.

Nursing Student Satisfaction with the Teaching Methodology Followed during the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Background: Halfway through the 2019–2020 academic year, the entire university system was affected by an exceptional situation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Online learning was globally implemented for all degrees to finish the course and to meet academic objectives. This unforeseen change in teaching and subsequent evaluations meant teachers and students had to invest significant effort. Student satisfaction is used to measure the evaluation of teaching/learning processes in higher education. Our objective was to know and compare the satisfaction of nursing students taught at a Spanish public university after making changes to the teaching methodology. Methods: A descriptive observational study that measures student satisfaction. Study population: 240 students registered in academic years 2019–2020 and 2020–2021 answered the survey. The survey contained 30 items answered on a Likert-type scale. The main variables: the learning methodology (online or blended) was the independent variable; student satisfaction was the dependent variable. Descriptive and bivariate analyses were performed. Results: A response rate between 37.4% and 41.2%. Overall satisfaction was 2.75 points (SD 0.56) and 2.94 points (SD 0.49) with online learning and bimodal learning, respectively (maximum score 4 points) (p < 0.004). Conclusions: Student satisfaction was moderate–high for both learning methodologies. Students found that the b-learning methodology was the most valued.

Measuring academic satisfaction in nursing students: a systematic review of the instruments.

Student academic satisfaction is one of the most important factors affecting the success and quality of a higher education institute and is an indicator about teaching and learning. This study aims to summarize and critically evaluate the instruments assessing academic satisfaction in nursing education. A systematic review was undertaken, PRISMA were used for the screening of studies. MEDLINE, Cochrane, Scopus and CINAHL were searched using MeSH terms; seven eligible articles were identified referring to five assessment tools. COSMIN was used for evaluation of the methodological of the instruments. The systematic review identified five satisfaction measurement tools used in nursing education. The analysis of the instruments rarely considered a confirmative validity structure, measurement error or criterion validity. The best available instrument was the Nursing Students Satisfaction Scale (NSSS) for validation methodology; however, it needs further validation studies that consider CFA, reliability, criteria validity, hypothesis testing and measurement error.

Student satisfaction and self-confidence in learning with virtual simulations

BackgroundThis research investigated student satisfaction and self-confidence in learning with virtual simulations in a prelicensure class. MethodA descriptive mixed-method approach used the National League for Nursing's Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning questionnaire with additional items to survey 28 students' perception after using three vSim for Nursing™ Pharmacology clinical scenarios. ResultsAlthough the initial use of vSims were perceived as helpful and effective, difficulty with navigation and unrealism was reported by most students as limitations. ConclusionThese findings reveal a consistent trend with previous research that suggests upgrades in vSim software design might ease the navigation, realism, and fluid actions of the computer-animated nurse and patient avatar to improve the usefulness of vSims as an active learning strategy in class. Additional research is warranted into students' perceptions with vSims and the effect on various learning outcomes to assist nurse educators with integrating vSims effectively into a didactic course.

The Effect of Patient Acuity Tool on Patient Clinical Practicum Assignments on Nursing Student Satisfaction Levels: A Quasi-Experimental Study

Unequal patient assignment is a problem of nursing students during clinical practicum. Registered nurses use patient acuity to ensure balanced work distribution, but its benefits has not been assessed on student nurses to date. The study’s objective is to determine the effect of patient acuity tool on student nurses’ satisfaction level during practicum. The study utilized quasi-experimental design to level II and III nursing students at a University in Quezon City, Philippines. 6-Module Online course including videos, notes, and quiz using Google Classroom was used; orientation and simulation were conducted through Zoom and Facebook Messenger. The participants were tasked randomly to use Patient Acuity Tool or conventional method during patient distribution. A modified Kuopio University Hospital Job Satisfaction Scale was used to identify and compare satisfaction levels of the two groups. Descriptive and Independent Samples T-test using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 26 were used to analyze data. Requiring factors, motivating factors, and working welfare of students utilizing Patient Acuity Tool are higher in overall mean satisfaction rate (3.36, 3.71, 3.89 vs 3.57, 3.81, 3.91); however, mean satisfaction showed no significant difference based on indicators (p-value 0.372, 0.694, 0.052, 0.921, and 0.469) and overall satisfaction (p-value 0.947). The requiring factors of work reflects the lowest mean scores given by those who have used the Conventional Method focusing on number of staff (2.97) and even workload distribution (2.14). Contrary to the last result, those who have distributed patients using the Patient Acuity Tools gave a mean score of 3.55.

Impact of blended learning on learning outcomes in the public healthcare education course: a review of flipped classroom with team-based learning

BackgroundA flipped classroom with team-based learning is a blended educational strategy that guides active learning inside and outside the classroom. This study aimed to verify the effects of this innovative blended educational strategy on knowledge, problem-solving ability, and learning satisfaction of undergraduate nursing students undergoing public healthcare education.MethodsThe subjects were undergraduate nursing students enrolled in H University in South Korea. The experiment was conducted over a period of 8 weeks in the public healthcare course. Two groups, blended learning (A flipped classroom with team-based learning) which was the experimental group and traditional lecture-based classroom group, the control group, were assessed. In the blended learning group, the students had pre-class, in-class (including team-based learning elements), and post-class learning elements. The two groups were compared on the following learning outcomes: knowledge, problem-solving ability, and learning satisfaction.ResultsResults showed that the blended learning instructional methods, in comparison with traditional lectures, enhanced the students’ knowledge, problem-solving ability, and learning satisfaction in the public healthcare course.ConclusionsThis study supports the feasibility of the flipped classroom with team-based learning as a blended learning strategy, able to produce improvements in nursing students’ learning outcomes. Blended learning approaches may be an effective alternative to conventional approaches in nursing education.

Simulation in cardiorespiratory arrest: assessment of satisfaction with the learning of nursing students.

To evaluate the satisfaction and self-confidence of undergraduate nursing students' learning in a scenario of realistic clinical simulation with the theme of advanced cardiopulmonary arrest maneuvers. Exploratory-descriptive study, with a quantitative approach. In order to evaluate the simulation activity developed undergraduate nursing students responded to the Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence with Learning Scale. 19 students participated in the study. Students' satisfaction and self-confidence with learning were identified, with an average of 4.17 ± 0.59 in the developed scenario. In the subscale of satisfaction with current learning and in the subscale of self-confidence with learning, 86.3% and 76.6% of students scored the items in a maximum way (4-5), respectively. Nursing students demonstrate satisfaction and self-confidence with learning from a realistic clinical simulation scenario on the theme of advanced cardiorespiratory arrest maneuvers.

Burnout and academic satisfaction of nursing students in traditional and integrated curricula.

To verify the prevalence of burnout and its relationship with the academic satisfaction of nursing students in traditional and integrated curricula. Quantitative, observational, cross-sectional, and analytical descriptive study with nursing undergraduates in two public universities. The data were collected in the classroom through a characterization survey, Maslach Burnout Inventory, and the Nursing Student Satisfaction Scale, and analyzed through inferential and descriptive statistics. The participants included 301 undergraduate students. The prevalence of burnout in the traditional curriculum was 30.2%; in the integrated one, this was 16.2%. Academic efficacy (p=0.004), satisfaction with curriculum and teaching (p=0.011), and professional and social integration (p<0.001) were higher for students in the integrated curriculum. Satisfaction with the educational environment was higher in the traditional curriculum (p=0.012). Burnout was statistically associated with low academic satisfaction in all dimensions. The prevalence of burnout has differed significantly among students in the analyzed curriculum models and is directly associated with academic satisfaction or lack thereof. Educators should develop preventive actions against burnout in future nurses focusing on the promotion of academic satisfaction.

The Effect of Clinical Learning Environment on Nursing Student Satisfaction in East Java Province

Introduction: The clinical learning environment is a situation for the implementation of student practical learning. Satisfaction with the clinical learning environment is very important to foster a positive learning experience. This study aims to analyze the influence of the clinical learning environment on nursing student satisfaction. Methods: The study design used was an observational analysis with a cross-sectional approach to clinical nursing students in East Java Province with 451 student respondents. A consecutive sampling method was conducted. The Clinical Learning Environment Supervision Teacher (CLES T) instrument was used to assess learning environment variables and Clinical Learning Environment Inventory (CLEI), in particular, the satisfaction dimension was used to assess the satisfaction variable. Data analysis used the Spearman rank test and multiple linear regression. Results: There is a relationship between the clinical learning environment (pedagogic learning, leadership style, nursing care in the ward, the relationship of supervision, the role of nurse teacher) and the satisfaction of nursing clinic students (p = 0.000). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the dimensions of pedagogic learning (t = 3.261; p = 0.001) and the role of the nurse teacher (t = 2.693; p = 0.007) had an effect on nursing student satisfaction. Conclusion: Student satisfaction is an important factor in the implementation of student clinical learning, so it is necessary to carry out good management by educational institutions and practice fields regarding the learning environment and improving the pedagogic atmosphere and the role of nurse teachers in clinical learning.
