Oermann MH, Bailey HE, Carter-Templeton H, Condy C, Wrigley J, Ledbetter LS. Bibliometric analysis of nursing education reviews. NURSE EDUCATION TODAY 2024; 139:106217. [PMID: 38676961 DOI: 10.1016/j.nedt.2024.106217] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/12/2023] [Revised: 04/03/2024] [Accepted: 04/09/2024] [Indexed: 04/29/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND While the number of reviews of nursing education research has increased over the years, bibliometric studies about these reviews are limited. OBJECTIVES The purposes were to: (1) examine the number of reviews of nursing education research published from 2018 through 2022, (2) identify journals publishing these reviews, (3) identify the types and topics of reviews in nursing education, and (4) analyze how these reviews are labeled (standard versus nonstandard). DESIGN This was a bibliometric study of reviews in nursing education. METHODS The search for reviews in nursing education was done using CINAHL Complete via the EBSCO host platform and was limited to articles published in peer reviewed journals. The results were imported into EndNote, and the title or abstract was used to identify the review type. The categorized reviews were then exported into Microsoft Excel. The titles and abstracts were searched to identify reviews in nursing education, resulting in 600 articles analyzed in this study. The topics of the reviews were identified via natural language processing techniques based on the Medical Subject Headings biomedical vocabulary in the manual tags with each article. RESULTS The number of reviews has steadily increased over the years. The top journal in which reviews were published was Nurse Education Today (n = 197). Nearly a quarter (n = 149, 24.8 %) of the reviews were integrative, followed by systematic (n = 117, 19.5 %), scoping (n = 117, 19.5 %), and literature (n = 85, 14.2 %). There were 12 main topics: most reviews were on simulation, followed by critical thinking methods and the academic achievement of nursing students. CONCLUSION This study documented an increase in the number of reviews of nursing education research over the last five years. The most common type was an integrative review, followed by systematic, scoping, and literature. Reviews on simulation were most common.

Purabdollah M, Zamanzadeh V, Valizadeh L, Ghahramanian A, Mousavi S, Ghasempour M. Comparison of the Iranian and Scandinavian bachelor of nursing curriculum (Sweden): A scoping review. JOURNAL OF EDUCATION AND HEALTH PROMOTION 2023; 12:389. [PMID: 38333170 PMCID: PMC10852164 DOI: 10.4103/jehp.jehp_1445_22] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/03/2022] [Accepted: 12/14/2022] [Indexed: 02/10/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The comparison of the educational curriculum improves the content and quality of the curriculum and needs to be revised and modified in line with the current needs of society. Development of nursing knowledge, the emergence of emerging diseases requires that the nursing curriculum be codified and provide the necessary skills to provide quality and safe care. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study aimed to Comparison of Iranian and Scandinavian Bachelor of Nursing Curriculum (Sweden). This descriptive-comparative study was conducted based on the Bereday model in four stages: Description, Interpretation, Juxtaposition, Comparison, and Analysis in 2022. We use relevant electronic databases such as PubMed, CINAHL, Web of Science, Iran Medex, SID, Magiran, Google Scholar, Iran Doc, and Science Direct databases. RESULTS The results showed that despite the similarities, the Swedish nursing curriculum had special features in most of the mentioned dimensions. Including decentralized admission, Fits the need, competency-based curriculum, attention to holistic care and intercultural care, use of new digital technologies in education, and clinical training and evaluation. CONCLUSION It seems that the Iranian nursing curriculum is far from the mentioned perspective. Using the experiences of the world's top universities, such as Sweden, can improve the quality of nursing undergraduate programs and improve the nursing profession by eliminating current shortcomings.

Abstract
Research ethics is a fundamental part of the entire research. Patients with rheumatoid arthritis are sensitive group of research participants because their long-term health problems cause significant changes in their foot health. In foot health research, data are usually collected through a clinical assessment of the foot or questionnaires. However, there is limited evidence of the reported research ethics of empirical studies on foot health in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Therefore this review aimed to analyze the reported research ethics of peer-reviewed empirical studies focusing on foot health in patients with rheumatoid arthritis as research participants. This systematic review used the Medline/PubMed, CINAHL, and Embase databases. A total of 1,653 records were identified, and 32 articles were included in the final analysis. Reporting research ethics in studies of patients with rheumatoid arthritis is fragmented, focusing predominantly on ethical approval and informed consent and lacking a broader discussion about research ethics.

NURSE EDUCATION TODAY 2018; 71:78-83. [PMID: 30265858 DOI: 10.1016/j.nedt.2018.09.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/03/2018] [Revised: 08/08/2018] [Accepted: 09/11/2018] [Indexed: 06/08/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Nurses play an important role in developing the competence of nursing students and acting as role models for students during clinical practice placements. Nurses need diverse competence to successfully mentor nursing student. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to describe and explain nurse mentor competence in mentoring nursing students in clinical practice settings based on self-evaluation, as well as identify different mentor profiles. DESIGN This study employed a cross-sectional, descriptive design involving a self-administered electronic version of the Mentor Competence Instrument. SETTINGS The study population included nurse mentors from all five university hospitals in Finland. PARTICIPANTS Through random sampling, 3355 nurse mentors were invited to take part in the study in 2016. METHODS Data was collected using Mentors Competence Instrument, which consists of 63 items structured in 10 mentoring competence categories. RESULTS Mentors (n = 576) evaluated their level of competence in various categories as middle- to high-level. They evaluated reflection during mentoring and identifying a student's need for mentoring the highest, whereas student-centered evaluation and supporting a student's learning process were rated lowest. Three distinct profiles of mentor competence were identified. These profiles differed in evaluation of mentoring competence level, previous participation in mentoring education, and time spent on reflective discussions with students. CONCLUSIONS According to their profiles, mentors have diverse needs for support in building their mentoring competence. We suggest that healthcare organizations should provide nursing mentors with education that is based on their individual levels of mentoring competence. Nurses should also be encouraged to use time for reflective discussion with students during clinical practice.

NURSE EDUCATION TODAY 2018; 68:93-99. [PMID: 29902742 DOI: 10.1016/j.nedt.2018.05.028] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2017] [Revised: 03/29/2018] [Accepted: 05/31/2018] [Indexed: 06/08/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Mentors require competence at a diverse array of skills to mentor students during clinical practice. According to the latest evidence, competence at mentoring includes: knowledge, skills and attributes of individual students' learning objectives, core elements of nursing, learning processes, a reciprocal and trustful relationship, feedback, evaluation, cooperation with stakeholders, and the mentor's personal qualities. OBJECTIVE The purpose of the study was to test psychometric properties of a mentor's competence instrument developed to self-evaluate mentors' competence at mentoring nursing students in clinical practice. DESIGN A cross-sectional, descriptive, explorative study design was used. SETTINGS Data were collected from mentors at five university hospitals in Finland in 2016. PARTICIPANTS A total of 576 mentors participated in this study. METHODS The instrument was developed through systematic review, experts' evaluations, and pilot versions of the instrument tested in previous studies. The construct validity and reliability of the instrument were tested using exploratory factor analysis (EFA) with promax rotation and Cronbach's alpha. RESULTS A 10-factor model showed that the instrument has acceptable construct validity. Cronbach's alpha values for the subscales observed ranged from 0.76 to 0.90. CONCLUSIONS The instrument exhibited acceptable psychometric properties, thereby proving itself a valuable tool for evaluating mentors' competence at mentoring students. Further assessments of its reliability, validity and generality for measuring mentor's competence for mentoring students in different contexts and cultures are recommended.

Abstract
Scientific research is important in guiding the development of evidence-based, cost-effective and comprehensive healthcare. The purpose of this scoping review was to analyse the current stage of research in the field of older people nursing science based on doctoral dissertations completed in Finnish universities. Altogether 418 doctoral dissertations in nursing science were published (1990–2015), and 44 of these (11%) represented older people nursing. The majority of the dissertations focused on patient and family or nursing activities. Usual topics were care procedures and clinical nursing (36%); self-care ability, independence (23%) and existence, being and feeling as an individual person (18%). Only one randomised controlled trial was conducted. The main informants were older people (78%) who were typically interviewed or surveyed. Research in older people nursing science in Finland is focusing on traditional clinical nursing settings. More innovative research is necessary from the perspective of health promotion and technological solutions.
