ABSTRACT
Introduction: Motivation has been known as a most important factor in directing people for doing activities. Lack or low of motivation affect all domains of human functions and caused negative effects. The aim of this study was identifying perception of nursing students from decrease in theirs motivation to nursing
Methods: This study done with qualitative approach and using thematic analysis method. Twelve nursing students from the Fasa University of Medical Sciences were selected through purposive sampling and interviewed in three focus group interview. After data collection, all interviews were transcribed and reviewed and themes extracted. Then a list of themes prepared and similarity in meaning and concept were reviewed and based on centralization arranged in a sub-category. Then with reviewing again relevant sub-categories arranged in a category
Results: Using analysis of transcribes a significant number of preliminary themes and 6 main themes that each having few other sub-themes were extracted. The main themes included Socio-cultural, educational, managerial, research, communicational and contextual
Conclusion: The results of this study revealed that communication problems with students are the most important factor in lack or low motivation toward nursing. It is recommended that nursing instructors and managers considered above items for promoting motivation of students toward nursing
ABSTRACT
Various definitions of teaching indicate the effort of training and education scientists for knowing teaching. Achieving to ideal and effective teaching involves connection between goals, teaching methods and students' learning. Effective teaching is critical for medical sciences student learning, especially in nursing students. The aim of this study was identifying perception of nursing students from effective teaching in nursing education. This study done with qualitative approach and using thematic analysis method. Eleven nursing students from the Fasa University of Medical Sciences were selected through purposive sampling and interviewed with focus group interview. After data collection, all interviews were transcribed and reviewed and themes extracted. Then a list of themes prepared and similarity in meaning and concept were reviewed and based on centralization arranged in a sub-category. Then with reviewing again relevant sub-categories arranged in a category. Using analysis of transcribes a significant number of preliminary themes and 8 main themes that each having few other sub-themes were extracted. The main themes included readiness, dynamically, valuing, individual characteristics of teacher, organization, evaluation, applicable and resources. The results of this study revealed that individual characteristics of teacher and communication with students are more significant factors in motivation and interest to learning and effective teaching. It is recommended that nursing instructors considered above items for curriculum planning in order to effectiveness of teaching and better learning
ABSTRACT
Coronary angiography is a definite diagnostic evaluation for coronary artery disease and valvular heart disease. It is necessary to provide information to such patients in order to maximize their comfort and tolerability to the invasive procedure. The study aimed at assessing the effect of patients' education by video on comfort and tolerability of patients undergoing coronary angiography. Using quasi- experimental method with a pretest-posttest design, 128 patients with coronary artery diseases randomly assigned to two groups of control and experiment. The sample hadn't any experience of the procedure before. Control group received routine oral education by nurses and experimental group received an informative video on coronary angiography procedure as well as pre and post angiography interventions. Data were gathered through a 10-point rating visual analog scale [VAS] for comfort level and a 4-point rating scale to measure tolerability. No significant difference was found between the two groups, concerning demographic variables. It was revealed that the comfort level [P<0.001] and tolerability of the patient [P<0.05] in experimental group was higher than control group two, four and six hours after angiography [P<0.05]. The study indicated providing information on angiography through video could enhance patients' comfort and tolerability to the invasive procedure. It could result in shortened stay at hospital and increased satisfaction of patients
ABSTRACT
Coronary angiography is a routine cardiac diagnostic procedure. Patients are restricted to bed rest after the procedure due to potential vascular complications related to femoral approach. Many patients are required to stay at bed up to 24 hours. The effects of reducing this are still under investigation. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of position change in bed on back pain and other complications in patients after angiography. In this experimental study,]20 patients were randomly assigned equally either to a control or experimental groups. The control group received usual care, remaining supine and flat for 6 hours with the affected leg being straight. The experimental group changed their body position hourly, varying between supine, right side-lying, and left side-lying during the first 6 hours after coronary angiography. Regardless of the group, back pain intensity increased with longer stay at bed. In addition, the control group reported higher levels of pain at all four assessment times. Other complications such as nausea, vomiting, bleeding from the femoral site and hematoma were not significantly different between the control and experimental groups. Findings suggest that patients may be able to safely change their position sooner in bed after coronary angiography. Changing position in bed may also reduce back pain and increase physical comfort. Not only does changing position not increase complications but it also decreases some of them
