ABSTRACT
Objective:To examine the effect of applying clinical pathway model in the cultivation of humanistic care ability of nursing college students in clinical practical teaching.Methods:The study collected 52 nursing students who practiced in the department of gynecology of a tertiary first-class hospital in Xi’an from July to October, 2017 as the control group, and 52 nursing students who practiced in the same unit from July to October, 2018 were selected as the experimental group. The control group adopted the teaching method of infiltrating humanistic care education into the training process of operational skills, while the experimental group adopted the teaching method of cultivating humanistic care ability of nursing college students through clinical pathway. The differences of humanistic care ability scores between the two groups were compared. SPSS 19.0 was used for t test. Results:Before the internship, there was no statistically significant difference in humanistic care scores between the two groups ( P>0.05). After the internship, the total scores of nursing students in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Applying the clinical pathway model to the cultivation of humanistic care ability of nursing students in clinical practice teaching is a new cultivation model of humanistic care ability, which is helpful to improve the humanistic care ability of nursing students.
ABSTRACT
Background: The world has entered the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Utilisation of technology is inevitable. For the past years, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has halted normal operations, including in the physical classroom for nursing students. Students and facilitators had to move to a remote way of teaching and learning, utilising online teaching and learning. However, students and facilitators were not ready to use online teaching and learning. This not only resulted in numerous challenges, but also became an eye-opener for best practices and intervening strategies. Objectives: To explore and describe experiences of students in a nursing college with regard to online teaching and learning during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: A qualitative, exploratory, descriptive and contextual research design was adopted. A purposive, nonprobability sampling approach was used to select participants from second year, third year and fourth year. First-year student nurses were excluded because they did not commence with classrooms at that time. Results: Seven themes emerged, namely knowledge, confidence, training, equipment, clinical exposure, course extension and flexibility, and all themes had subthemes. Conclusion: It is evident that students had more negative experiences during online teaching and learning than positive experiences.

Until recently umbilical cord and the placenta was discarded as medical waste after delivery. Hematopoietic stem cells(HSCs) are multi-potent stem cells, derived from bone marrow and peripheral blood. These HSCs are also present in umbilical cord blood. Umbilical cord blood (UCB) is a good source of hematopoietic stem cells that is equivalent to those found in the bone marrow. After delivery, umbilical cord blood can be collected and cryopreserved which can be used later. The stem cells in cord blood can grow into any type of cell especially blood and immune system cells, due to its multi-potent nature. These HSC are accepted method of treatment for various blood cell disorders, cancers, genetic diseases, immune disorders and metabolic disorders. Clinical trials are underway for neurological disorders,diabetes, auto-immune disorders and for some cardio vascular problems. So far worldwide more than 30,000 cord blood transplantations were done successfully. AIM: Aim of the study is to enhance the knowledge of basic B.Sc. Nursing students regarding umbilical cord blood banking who are studying in Rajiv Gandhi College of Nursing, Jammu. MATERIALS AND METHODS:An evaluative approach with one group pre-test, post-test design was used for the study. The sample consisting of 50 Basic B.Sc. Nursing students, they were chosen by convenient sampling technique. The study was conducted at Rajiv Gandhi College of Nursing, Jammu. The data was collected prior and after the structured teaching program by a structured questionnaire. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The overall mean knowledge score is 23.96 obtained by the subject in post-test was higher than mean knowledge score 9.42 obtained in pre-test and with the improvement score as 14.54. The results of the study revealed that the structured teaching program was significantly effective in improving the knowledge of students regarding umbilical cord blood banking. Hence the study concluded that the improved knowledge regarding umbilical cord blood bankinghelps the students to grow constantly, to be more advanced in medical research like what are the different benefits and use of stem cells derived from umbilical cord blood and thus attempts will be made by these students to educate the society about umbilical cord blood banking through different methods.
ABSTRACT
Abstract:Introduction: The purpose of this research is to measure the critical thinking (CT) skills of nursing college students before and after practical training, and examine whether situational factors such as purpose and context can affect judgments related to CT.Methods: We distributed 795 nursing students an anonymous self-administered questionnaire using the scale to assess the CT and free description type questions. The collected data was analyzed using statistical analysis and text mining analysis.Results: The effective response rate was 22.01% (n=175) before training and 22.26% (n=177) after practical training. The average score of the CT scale was 163.70±17.68 before training and 171.21±19.03 after practical training. Five categories were extracted from the open-ended questions and identified as situations in which CT in used in practical training.Discussion: The average score of the CT scale rose with practical training experience. The existence of the practical training experience have affected the total score of the CT scale.

ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to examine effects of enneagram group counseling program on self-identification and depression in nursing college students. Three groups, categorized by how the students solve their conflicts, were selected to identify changes from the program. METHODS: A quasi-experimental study with a non-equivalent control group and pre posttest design was used. Participants were assigned to the experimental group (n=30) or control group (n=33). The experimental group participated in enneagram group counseling program for 38 hours through eight sessions covering four different topics. Collected data were analyzed using Chi-square test, Fisher's exact test, t-test, and Wilcoxon signed rank test. RESULTS: Total self-identity score for the experimental group was significantly higher than the control group. However, there was no significant difference between the two groups for depression scores. The Assertive and Compliant groups demonstrated significant change in self-identification while the Withdrawn groups did not reveal any change. CONCLUSION: Results indicate that the enneagram group counseling program is very effective in establishing positive self-identification for nursing college students who face developmental crisis and stressful situations. It is also expected that this program would be useful to enhance the students' confidence through a deeper understanding and acceptance of themselves.
