Recently, human patient simulators have been widely developed as substitutes for real patients with the objective of applying them as training tools in nursing education. Such simulated training is perceived as beneficial for imparting the required practical skills to students. Considering the aging world population, this study aimed to develop a robot patient for training nursing students in the sit-to-stand (STS) transfer skill, which is indispensable in caring for elderly people. To assess a student’s skill, the robot patient should be able to access the skill correctness and behave according to whether the skill is correctly or incorrectly implemented. Accordingly, an STS control method was proposed to reproduce the different STS movements during correct and incorrect applications of the skill by the nurses. The lower limbs of a prototype robot were redesigned to provide an active joint with a compliant unit, which enables the measurement of external torque and flexibility of the human joint to be reproduced. An experiment was conducted with four nurse teachers, each of whom was asked to demonstrate both correct and incorrect STS transfer skills. The results of the external torque and joint torque measured in robot’s lower limbs revealed that a significant difference (p < 0.05) between correct and incorrect skills. It also indicates the introduction of the proposed control method for the robot can satisfy the requirement of the assessment of STS skill. Among the various measurements conducted, the external torque of the hip joint exhibited the most significant difference and therefore represented the most robust measure for assessing whether the STS transfer skill was correctly applied.

Nursing graduates need to be “real world ready”, and able to meet the demands of the healthcare workforce. Research indicates that baccalaureate graduates have adequate theoretical base, but often lack competence in the clinical setting. Preceptorship programs are an effective way of developing clinical competence in the nursing student. The purpose of this study was to compare a traditional senior clinical course to a preceptorship model on students, faculty, and nurses’ perceptions of student preparedness for the nursing role. A formal preceptorship program with the support of a clinical nurse faculty member was developed to enhance the success of clinical nursing education. A quasi-experimental design with nonequivalent groups was used to determine the feasibility and effectiveness of a preceptorship model for senior nursing students comparing the students’, the faculty, and the nurses’ perceptions of the students’ preparedness for clinical practice after a traditional clinical and a preceptor clinical experience. The sample consisted of the fall 2017 senior semester cohort and the spring 2018 senior semester cohort, senior faculty who taught in those semesters, and nurses at the participating facilities. Overall, findings did not show a statistically significant difference between the traditional cohorts and the precepted cohorts; however, there is evidence of clinical significance. After implementation of the preceptorship model, there was an increase in the percent of nurses (100%), faculty (100%), and students (95%) who felt that the senior nursing students were ready for the professional role of a registered nurse.

Simulation Based

Abstract Simulation-Based Learning (SBL) is beneficial to nursing education. Nevertheless, recent studies have shown a side effect of being overwhelmed by repeated exposures to simulation. Thus, how many times simulation scenarios should be provided to students remains a question. The objectives of this study were to (1) explore the changes in nursing students’ perceived competence, self-efficacy, and learning satisfaction after repeated exposures to simulations, and (2) determine the acceptable frequency of SBL in the ‘Care of Older Adults’ course. A one-group repeated measurement experimental design with self-administered questionnaires in a convenient sample of 84 senior nursing undergraduate students was used at a university in southern Taiwan, and 79 students completed all measurements. After taking the baseline measurements (T0), students were exposed to 75-mininute simulation scenarios from Time 1 (T1) to Time 3 (T3) three weeks apart throughout the semester. Students’ perceived nursing competence, self-efficacy, and learning satisfaction were measured immediately after each exposure. There were statistically significant improvements from T0 to T3 (p &lt; .001) in all three areas; however, no significant difference when comparing scores from T1 to T2 and from T2 to T3. To conclude, SBL is effective in improving nursing students’ perceived competence, self-efficacy, and learning satisfaction. While the primary changes occur at the first simulation effort, it is the accumulated multiple exposures collectively improve students’ learning outcomes. Multiple instructional strategies are recommended to maintain students’ learning interests to achieve optimal learning outcomes of the course across a semester.

Important questions remain around the increased use of simulation in nursing education and the development of caring competencies. An observational study of 105 nursing students was conducted to explore the caring behaviors demonstrated during simulations and to examine the affordances and limitations of the simulation milieu to support development of caring competencies. The McDaniel (1990) instrument was adapted for scoring caring behaviors. A majority of participants exhibited passive caring behaviors. Self-initiated and transpersonal caring behaviors occurred in low frequency. Caring is important to patient health, satisfaction, and quality healthcare. Recommendations to support development of caring behaviors in simulation are offered.

Background: People in both Taiwan and China originally descended from the Han Chinese, but the societies have been separated for approximately 38 years. Due to different political systems, variations exist in healthcare and nursing education systems in Taiwan and China. Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the professional values of nursing students in Taiwan and China. Design: A cross-sectional design was applied in this study. The Nursing Professional Value Scale–Revised was used to measure the professional values of the students. The questionnaire was distributed to eligible undergraduate students in a classroom setting. Ethical considerations: This study was approved by the Institutional Review Board at the first investigator’s university. Participants were informed that completion and return of the questionnaire was voluntary, and confidentiality was ensured by keeping the responses anonymous. Participants: A convenience sample included 292 Taiwanese students and 654 Chinese students. Findings: A total of 11 individual Nursing Professional Value Scale–Revised items showed significant differences between the two groups. These results reflect the differences in the perceived importance of these items between the groups. There was no significant difference between the two groups in the mean overall scores for the Nursing Professional Value Scale–Revised (p = .766) and three subscales (all p > .05). Conclusion: There are some differences in professional values between nursing students in Taiwan and China. Given the increasingly frequent and close interactions between Taiwan and China and the globalization of nursing, understanding these differences may help nursing educators identify students’ perceptions of their professional values and support the development of strategies to improve weaknesses in professional values.

Abstract Objectives While the nursing profession recognizes the importance of leadership behaviors, limited evidence exists on essential clinical leadership behaviors that nursing students should exhibit upon graduation. The purpose of this study was to determine if there were common leadership behaviors exhibited by recently graduated baccalaureate clinical staff nurses in the United States and Australia. Methods A quantitative descriptive study with a comparative design was conducted using The Clinical Leadership Survey. Results Similar clinical leadership behaviors were reported by nurses from the two countries though there was a statistically significant difference in the overall frequency of behaviors between the two groups. Behaviors in the ‘challenging the process’ domain were less commonly practiced in both countries, identifying a clinical gap and opportunity for student development. Conclusions This study identifies the central behaviors that should be included in baccalaureate nursing education curriculum in order to prepare students for successful transition into practice.

Abstract Background: Different education systems or cultural backgrounds may influence the effectiveness of various educational approaches. Little literature explores the effects of TBL on Chinese undergraduate nursing students. Method: We implemented a quasi-experimental pre-/post-test quantitative and qualitative design to evaluate the intervention effect of TBL on undergraduate nursing students in eastern China. Results: The results showed that a significant difference was identified, as the post-test scores were higher than pre-test scores on average level of the Chinese version of Critical Thinking Disposition Inventory, the General Self-efficacy Scale and the Academic Self-efficacy Scale. Also, TBL obtained positive reflection from the students and the Teaching Supervision Team. TBL stimulated the students’ learning interest and was well-accepted well by the nursing students. Conclusion: TBL could be widely used in undergraduate nursing education.
