An Opportunity of a Lifetime: How Imagination Can Transform Life During a Pandemic.

The COVID-19 pandemic created a demand for change and innovation in nursing and nurse education. In this paper, the authors tell the story of a nurse faculty member and two of her prelicensure RN nursing students who were evicted from their classroom and clinical site because of the pandemic, but who were able to use their imagination and creativity to explore new ways of teaching and learning nursing and being a nurse. Humility and empathy are critically important aspects of imagination and creativity, particularly in nurse education. The authors also seek to consider these issues from a global perspective, thanks in part to the diversity and international backgrounds of the contributors.

Evaluation of Clinical Teaching by Nursing Students at the Higher Institute of Nursing and Health Techniques in Casablanca, Morocco

Clinical teaching is an integral component of nursing education. As such, nursing students' evaluations provide insight into their perceptions of this style of teaching. It's a type of evaluation that was devised to improve education through formative assessment. The students' point of view on the instruction they receive is a fundamental element since they are the main recipients, and they appear more and more as partners in the educational process. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to explore and describe students' perceptions of clinical instruction at the Higher Institute of Nursing and Health Technology in Casablanca. To address this, we have drawn from Knox and Mogan's (1985) model of effective clinical nursing teaching. The results obtained showed that the teaching ability dimension received the highest score (4.61±1.62), followed by nursing competence, personality, and interpersonal interaction. Nevertheless, students gave the component of evaluation the lowest score (4.20±1.76). With p > 0.05 for all dimensions, the Mann-Whitney test reveals that the differences between the two groups of students are not statistically significant. For more accurate findings, however, further research is needed, and teachers and tutors should highlight the differences between the three groups.

Observation on the Application of “Online + Offline” Mixed Teaching Mode in Clinical Nursing Teaching

Objective: To observe the application effect of “online + offline” mixed teaching mode in clinical nursing teaching. Methods: A total of 72 clinical nursing workers, who work in PLA General Hospital and participated in the experiment from March 2019 to March 2021, were selected as the subjects of this study. According to the odd numbers assigned to the participants’ names, the participants were divided into two groups: the experimental group and the control group, with 36 cases in each group. The experimental group received “online + offline” hybrid teaching, whereas the control group received traditional offline teaching. In order to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the two groups of nursing workers, their assessment scores, teaching satisfaction scores, and teaching evaluation indicators were observed. Results: The experimental group was significantly better than the control group in terms of assessment scores, teaching satisfaction scores, and teaching evaluation indicators (P < 0.05). Conclusion: In clinical nursing teaching, the “online + offline” mixed teaching mode plays a unique role in improving students’ scores and teaching quality; thus, it should be promoted.

Automatic Classification of Basic Nursing Teaching Resources Based on the Fusion of Multiple Neural Networks

Automatic classification is one of the hot topics in the field of information retrieval and natural language processing, but it still faces many problems to be solved. The classic automated classification approach has a sluggish classification speed and poor processing accuracy for resources with a large quantity of data. Based on this, an automated classification approach based on the integration of various neural networks for fundamental nursing teaching materials was presented. The automatic classification method of teaching resources was designed by extracting the characteristics of teaching resources, establishing the model of multiple neural network integration, and designing the classification index of basic nursing teaching resources. The experimental findings suggest that this technique has higher chi-square test parameters and better outcomes for the automated classification of large instructional materials than the classic rough set automatic classification method.

A Descriptive Study to Assess the Knowledge of Staff Nurses Regarding Potassium Imbalance Among Children in Child Health Care Areas of Selected Hospital, Ludhiana, Punjab

Potassium imbalance is frequently encountered in children. Specially, mortality rates are significantly higher in hypokalemia in wide range of disorders in children. India accounts for 25% of global child death, in that 18% of children die due to electrolyte imbalance, mainly including potassium and sodium imbalance. In Punjab, under five mortality rate due to potassium imbalance is 23%. A descriptive study was conducted to assess the knowledge of staff nurses regarding potassium imbalance among children in child health care areas of selected hospital, Ludhiana, Punjab. Aim of the study was to assess knowledge of staff nurses regarding potassium imbalance among children. The objectives were to assess the level of knowledge of staff nurses regarding potassium imbalance among children, to assess the relationship of knowledge of staff nurses with selected variables, to identify the deficits in the areas of knowledge of staff nurses regarding potassium imbalance and conduct teaching for staff nurses. Conceptual framework was based on Three Phase Learning Theory by Paul Fitts and Michael Posner, 1967. A quantitative research approach and non- experimental descriptive design was adopted for the study. Study was conducted in child health care areas of CMC & Hospital, Ludhiana. Data was collected by structured knowledge questionnaire tool which was tested to be reliable (r=0.87). The collected data from 100 staff nurses was organized, analyzed, tabulated and interpreted using descriptive and inferential statistics. According to level of knowledge of staff nurses, maximum staff nurses (45%) had an average level of knowledge and only 4% staff nurses had excellent level of knowledge. Professional qualification and current area of work had an impact on the level of knowledge of staff nurses (at p<0.05). It was inferred that staff nurses had maximum deficits were in the introduction related to potassium and its imbalance and minimum was in hypokalemia. The overall mean knowledge score was less than the expected level, therefore, the researcher planned & conducted a teaching for staff nurses working in child health care areas of Christian Medical College & Hospital, Ludhiana, Punjab.

TECHNICAL SKILLS OVERWHELMING SOCIAL SKILLS OF OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH NURSING ON TEACHING METHODS

The teaching of occupational health nursing (OHN) requires an emphasis on which one should be dominant between technical and social domain, as practiced in the industrial health care services. The purpose of this research is determine which skill domain is more dominant between technical and social skills in the OHN teaching-learning system. This type of study is quantitative approach with cross-sectional study design. The populations were nursing students, nursing practitioners, and nursing lecturers. The sampling technique is non-probability sampling taken online with a sample size of 130 respondents of Indonesian nurses in Indonesia. The data collection tool used a mixed questionnaire in a Likert Scale based on the Health Belief Model theory. The data were analyzed using the Paired Sample T-Test to see whether the results of this study were dominated by the technical or social skills domain. The validity and reliability test was carried out with a sample of 30 people. They were measured by looking at the r table and the Cronbach alpha value for each questionnaire statement, using the SPSS application with the Pearson Product Moment test. The T-Test result of SPSS shows 95 respondents (73.1%), perceived technical skills dominate the OHN work in industry, and 35 respondents (26.9%) in social skills, with a p-value of 0.000. In other words, the dominance of technical skills has a very close association to the teaching-learning system. The need for technical skills is much more dominant than social skills. OHN teaching needs to have an emphasis on technical skills, not the social domain.
