Background: Nursing student often experience anxiety and lack of motivation during their training program particularly during examination, and this may affect the achievement of learning outcomes. Teaching methods that might increase motivation and potentially increase learning outcomes have been developed, including video simulation and online learning. The purpose of the study was to investigate the effects of integrating video simulation into online learning on students’ motivation, anxiety level and competence. Methods: A pre-test/post-test one group design was utilized. Two video simulations containing nursing skills were integrated into the e-learning system which can be accessed for three weeks by 76 respondents who took Basic Nursing course. The level of motivation and anxiety were measured before and after the intervention, while the competence was measured after the intervention. Results: The majority of students passed the skills examination. This study indicates a significant increase of students’ motivation after the intervention (p value < 0.001), but the level of anxiety among respondents increased. Conclusion: The integration of video simulation into e-learning system can enhance student’s skills performance and motivation. Although there is also an increase in anxiety, findings of the study can be applied to other subjects and nursing skills with attention to aspects that cause student anxiety.

Context and objectiveThe negative consequences of inadequate nursing handovers on patient safety are widely acknowledged, both within the literature as in practice. Evidence regarding strategies to improve nursing handover is, however, lacking. This study investigates the effect of a tailored, blended curriculum on nurses’ perception of handover quality.MethodsWe used a pre-test/post-test design within four units of a Belgian general hospital. Our educational intervention consisted of an e-learning module on professional communication and a face-to-face session on the use of a structured method for handovers. All nurses completed this blended curriculum (n=87). We used the Handover Evaluation Scale (HES) to evaluate nurses’ perception of handover quality before and after the intervention. The HES was answered by 87.4% of the nurses (n=76 of 87) before and 50.6% (n=44 of 87) after the intervention. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to assess the validity of the HES.ResultsThe original factor structure did not fit with our data. We identified a new HES structure with acceptable or good fit indices. The overall internal consistency of our HES structure was considered adequate. Perception of nurses on Relevance of information showed a significant improvement (M=53.19±4.33 vs M=61.03±6.01; p=0.04). Nurses also felt that the timely provision of patient information improved significantly (M=4.50±0.34 vs M=5.16±0.40; p=0.01).ConclusionThe applied intervention resulted in an improved awareness on the importance of Relevance of information during handovers. After our intervention, the nurses’ perception of the HES item ‘Patient information is provided in a timely manner’ also improved significantly. We are aware that the educational intervention is only the first step to achieve the long-term implementation of a culture of professional communication based on mutual support.

The study's primary purpose is to explore the factors affecting the students' intention to use e-learning systems in the COVID pandemic. The model of the “Unified theory of acceptance and use of technology” (UTAUT) was used as a theoretical underpinning. The Independent variables include “performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, facilitating condition,” and the dependent variable is the intention to use e-learning systems. The quantitative data were collected from the postgraduate and undergraduate students of the public universities of Lahore. A total of n=411 students were approached, out of which the responses of only 399 were considered valid and were used for Multiple linear regression through SPSS 25. It was a cross-sectional study. It was found that almost all constructs of the model have a significant positive impact on intention to use e-learning systems.  The study's main contribution is exposing the factors that affect the acceptance and use of e-learning systems. This study has several policy implications for policy experts of higher education”.

Aims and methodOur aim was to follow-up on a cohort of self-referred doctors who attended MedNet. We used a two-point cross-sectional design. Measures included three standardised self-report questionnaires administered before and after consultation. Doctors were also asked to complete a service user questionnaire, and data regarding engagement and onward referrals were gathered through case-note review.ResultsA statistically significant improvement in scores on all three questionnaires was found after intervention; however, scores on one subscale, the risk domain of the Clinical Outcomes in Routine Evaluation – Outcome Measure, did not change significantly. Of the doctors at no risk of suicide at intake, nearly two-thirds (n = 41/70, 59%) were sufficiently helped by the consultations provided to not need further treatment. Of the doctors at some risk of suicide at intake, two-thirds (n = 34/51, 67%) did need an onward referral. Only one doctor required hospital admission, an outcome that suggests the approach used is containing and clinically responsive.Clinical implicationsThis paper highlights the efficacy, need and importance of specialist services for doctors in difficulty. We found that the bespoke consultation model provided at MedNet is valued highly by the doctors as service users.

Las citocinas como la interleucina-12 (IL-12) y la interleucina-17 (IL-17) influyen en la función del sistema inmune y los diferentes tejidos, siendo estudiadas debido al papel que desempeñan en la Esclerosis Múltiple (EM). El objetivo de este estudio fue investigar el efecto de la terapia acuática en la IL-12 y la IL-17 en pacientes con esclerosis múltiple. Participaron 25 hombres con esclerosis múltiple, los cuales fueron divididos en dos grupos: ejercicio y control. Se tomó una muestra de sangre antes y después de la intervención. El grupo de ejercicio llevó a cabo tres sesiones por semana durante ocho semanas. Las partes inicial y final de cada sesión incluyeron calentamiento y vuelta a la calma, llevadas a cabo en zonas poco profundas. Las actividades fueron diseñadas y llevadas a cabo por un investigador bajo la supervisión de un fisiólogo deportivo y un neurólogo experimentado. Durante las sesiones de entrenamiento, se dedicaban los primeros 10 minutos al calentamiento y los últimos 5 minutos a la vuelta a la calma. La intensidad del ejercicio fue aproximadamente del 75% de la frecuencia cardíaca máxima. Los datos demostraron que tanto IL-12 como IL-17 disminuyeron significativamente entre el pre-test y el post-test. Por tanto, se concluye que la terapia acuática puede reducir los factores de riesgo con respecto a la esclerosis múltiple, incluidas la IL-12 y la IL-17. Cytokines such as Interleukin 12 (IL-12) and Interleukin 17(IL-17) influence the function of the immune system and different tissues and are studied due to the role they play in Multiple Sclerosis (MS). The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of aqua-therapy on plasma IL-12 and IL-17 in patients with MS. 25 men with MS were divided into two groups: exercise and control. Blood sample was taken before and after the intervention protocol. The exercise group carried out three exercise sessions per week during eight weeks. The beginning and final parts of each session included warming up and cool down, and were carried out in shallow areas. These activities were designed and implemented by a researcher under the supervision of a sports physiologist and an experienced neurologist. During the training sessions, the first 10 minutes were for warming up, and the last 5 minutes of training were for cool down. Exercise intensity was approximately 75% of heart rate reserve. The data demonstrated that both IL-12 and IL-17 decreased significantly from pre-test to post-test in the exercise group. We conclude that aqua-training may reduce risk factors regarding multiple sclerosis, including IL-12 and IL-17.
