Abstract
Clinical reasoning is an essential component of nursing. It has emerged as a concept that integrates the core competencies of quality and safety education for nurses. In cooperation with five European partners, Instituto Politécnico de Setúbal (IPS) realized the "Clinical Reasoning in Nursing and Midwifery Education and Practice" project as part of the Erasmus+ project. As a partner, our team designed a multiplier event-the student training course. The aim of this report is to describe the construction and development of this clinical reasoning training course for nursing students. We outline the pedagogical approach of an undergraduate training course on clinical reasoning in 2023, which we separated into four stages: (i) welcoming, (ii) knowledge exploration, (iii) pedagogical learning, and (iv) sharing experience. This paper presents the learning outcomes of the collaborative reflection on and integration of the clinical reasoning concept among nursing students. This educational experience fostered reflection and discussion within the teaching team of the nursing department regarding the concept, models, and teaching/learning methods for clinical reasoning, with the explicit inclusion of clinical reasoning content in the nursing curriculum. We highlight the importance of implementing long-term pedagogical strategies in nursing education.

Worldviews Evid Based Nurs 2023; 20:500-512. [PMID: 37280784 DOI: 10.1111/wvn.12663] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/27/2022] [Revised: 04/25/2023] [Accepted: 05/14/2023] [Indexed: 06/08/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND There is still a lack of high-level evidence on the effects of problem-based learning (PBL) in general medical and nursing education. AIMS We aimed to summarize current evidence on the effects of PBL in delivering medical and nursing education from randomized controlled trials (RCTs). METHODS A systematic search was performed in MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Central Library, and CINAHL Complete. RCTs that assessed the effects of a PBL module in delivering medical education were eligible. Outcomes included knowledge, performance, and satisfaction. The risk of bias was assessed according to Cochrane handbook guidelines. Standardized mean differences with 95% confidence intervals of each outcome between PBL and control groups were pooled using a random-effects model. RESULTS In all, 22 RCTs with 1969 participants were included. Both pooled analyses of changes in scores compared with baseline and absolute post-interventional scores favored PBL module in knowledge and performance. The satisfaction degree was also higher in participants receiving PBL methods. Publication bias might exist in satisfaction; however, not in knowledge and performance. Eleven of the 22 studies were assessed as having a high risk of bias. LINKING EVIDENCE TO ACTION Compared with traditional lecture-based modules, PBL delivered medical education in different medical science specialities more efficiently from both theoretical knowledge and practice skill perspectives. The feedback from participants receiving PBL methods was more positive than that from those receiving traditional methods. However, the high heterogeneity and low quality of the included studies prevented drawing definite conclusions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The concepts of online and blended education came into the limelight in the 19th century. Over time, the concepts expanded and reached a peak in 2021 in response to the COVID-19 lockdown. One of the challenges is the monitoring of the performance of distant learners. In face-to-face courses, an instructor can easily identify struggling learners during the regular meetings. AIM OF THE STUDY This study explored variables that can predict the academic achievement of learners early in online learning environments. Although there was no consensus, the factors were still hypothesized as predictors for academic achievement. METHODS A quasi-experimental study was conducted to test the hypothesis. Thirty-three graduate learners were enrolled in a blended trauma course. The learners' age, their previous experiences in online education, pre-test scores, and the number of logs to the online platform were studied. These elements were considered as predictors of academic achievement in the online aspect of the course. RESULTS The findings revealed that there was no statistically significant correlation between the age, the previous experience in online education, the pre-test scores, and the number of logs in the first two weeks. However, there was a statistically significant correlation between the number of logs into the online platform in the first three weeks of study and the learners' academic achievement. Additionally, the number of logs in the first three weeks was a statistically significant predictor for academic achievement in online education. This early prediction can help instructors to identify and support struggling learners. CONCLUSION The records of the online activity of learners in the first three weeks of study can help in early prediction of their academic achievement. Age, previous online education, and pretest scores were not statistically significant predictors.

Effects of a fixed nurse team in the orthopaedic surgery operating room on work efficiency and patient outcomes: a propensity score-matched historically controlled study. BMC Nurs 2022; 21:248. [PMID: 36068566 PMCID: PMC9450373 DOI: 10.1186/s12912-022-01027-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/28/2021] [Accepted: 08/31/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The work value of operating room (OR) nurses is directly reflected in nursing quality. However, evaluating the work value of these nurses has not been sufficiently investigated. This study evaluated the effects of a fixed nurse team (FNT) in an orthopaedic surgery OR on work efficiency and patient outcomes. Methods A propensity score-matched historically controlled study conducted from 1 July 2015 to 30 June 2018 was used to investigate the difference in nursing quality between an FNT period and a non-FNT period in the orthopaedic surgery OR at a tertiary care hospital in China. The primary outcome was surgical site infections (SSIs) during in-hospital visits, and as a secondary outcome, other nursing-sensitive quality indicators were assessed with historically controlled data. A multifactor logistic regression model was constructed to examine the primary outcome differences between the FNT and non-FNT periods before and after propensity score matching. Results In total, 5365 patients and 33 nurses were included in the final analysis. The overall SSI rate was 2.1% (110/5365; the non-FNT period 2.6% [64/2474], the FNT period 1.6% [46/2891]). A lower incidence of SSIs in patients (odds ratio 0.57, 95% CI 0.36 to 0.88, P=0.013), a lower turnover time of the surgical procedure (odds ratio 0.653, 95% CI 0.505 to 0.844, P<0.001), and improvement in surgeon satisfaction (odds ratio 1.543, 95% CI 1.039 to 2.292, P=0.031), were associated with the FNT period compared with the non-FNT period. However, we did not find significant differences between the FNT period and the non-FNT period in terms of the other indicators. Conclusions The presence of an FNT in an OR reduces the incidence of SSIs in surgical patients and the turnover time of surgical procedures and improves surgeon satisfaction. Further implementation of an advanced-practice nurse model with nurse specialists is encouraged.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this systematic review (SR) is to establish if video is a beneficial teaching method when teaching psychomotor skills in nursing. DESIGN Systematic review. DATA SOURCES A database search of CINAHL, MEDLINE, EMBASE and Cochrane was performed with search terms 'video', 'nurse' 'RCT' and 'practical skills' resulting in seventy-four research articles. REVIEW METHOD All research articles yielded from the searches from the specified databases were scanned while considering the research question, and the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were assessed by two independent reviewers on the title and abstract content initially, papers then considered at this point had the full text studied. Data extraction and table were compiled with headings of interest considering the research question. A narrative piece was written on the extraction table. Quality appraisal was performed by using RevMan software Version 5.3 to assess the internal validity of all eight studies. RESULTS This systematic review supports the use of video as a teaching method when achieving psychomotor skills. Nine different practical clinical skills have been taught throughout the papers and six out of the eight research papers concluded that video is a beneficial teaching method. CONCLUSION Video can be communicated via many modes, including mobile devices, making it very accessible to the user while facilitating guidance at their fingertips while providing current evidence-based care to the patient. This review suggests that making video accessible to the learner, is a positive addition when teaching and learning psychomotor skills.

Abstract
Clinical reasoning is a vital competence for nursing students, as it is required for solving problems arising in complex clinical situations. Identifying the factors that influence nursing students' clinical reasoning competence in the social context can help their implicit educational needs. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the factors associated with developing clinical reasoning competency among undergraduate nursing students. In total, 206 senior nursing students were included in this study. Self-reported measures were used to obtain data on participants' clinical reasoning competence, problem-solving abilities, academic self-efficacy, and level of clinical practicum stress. Relationships among continuous variables were analyzed using Pearson's correlation coefficients. A multiple linear regression analysis was conducted to identify factors related to clinical reasoning competence. Our findings show that participants with better problem-solving abilities and academic self-efficacy perceived themselves as having higher levels of clinical reasoning competence. Nursing students with lower clinical practicum stress reported higher clinical reasoning competence. Significant factors identified were younger age and subcategories of problem-solving ability such as problem clarification, alternative solution development, planning/implementation, and self-regulated efficacy. Our findings highlight essential factors necessary for developing a nursing curriculum that contributes to professional nurses' clinical reasoning competence.

Abstract
Cerebrovascular accident is a serious public health problem and requires the attention of professionals who can detect, diagnose, and provide care in a timely fashion. A quantitative quasi-experimental study was conducted using a mobile app called mSmartAVC for clinical evaluation of nursing care at the bedside. The study aimed at measuring the knowledge of nurses and nursing students in the detection and care of cerebrovascular accident. In this study, a total of 115 nurses from health services in the South of Brazil and 35 nursing students of a community university participated. The stages focused on development, modeling of clinical cases, problem-based learning, pretest (before) app use, and posttest (after) use of the app. The results of the pretest and posttest corrections showed a substantial statistical difference (P < .001), indicating a significant knowledge gain after the use of the app, particularly in terms of the detection scales and interpretation of the imaging tests. The mSmartAVC app used at the bedside supported decision-making for detection and nursing care. It was possible to confirm that the use of mobile apps plays an essential role as a learning tool for nurses and nursing students.
