ABSTRACT
Objective To explore baccalaureate nursing students' perception of caring, so as to provide evidence for promoting their caring behaviors. Methods Phenomenology was the chosen methodology, 11 baccalaureate nursing students were interviewed in depth. Results Themes of caring were formed into four categories: caring behavior was reciprocal; the motives of caring included fear, concern, responsibility and obligation; knowledge, technical competency and professional helping relationship constituted caring; the confusions of caring came from many factors in clinical practice. Conclusions Baccalaureate nursing students can understand the connotation of caring accurately. To encourage their caring behaviors,clinical supervisors and managers should take all kinds of measures to maintain their faith in caring.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the present state of clinical decision-making ability of nursing students in Sichuan Province. Methods The instrument for measuring the clinical decision-making ability of nursing students was adopted te investigate baccalaureate nursing students from four colleges and uni-versifies in Sichuan Province who had completed 10-12-month clinical practice. Results The overall mean score of clinical decision-making ability of baccalaureate nursing students in Sichuan Province was (72.86± 4.53). Among the dimensions, the scoring rate of Goal-setting Ability Dimension was the highest and that of evaluation-feedback ability dimension the lowest. In terms of the qualification rate of clinical decision-making ability, 99.52% of the students were qualified (4.82% good and 94.7% passed) and 0.48% was unqualified. Conclusions Baccalaureate nursing students in Sichuan Province have not showed a high level in clinical nursing decision-making ability and most of them are just qualified. No students have reached the level of excellence.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the effect of experimental design in the experimental teaching of fundamental nursing. Methods 168 and 199 baccalaureate nursing students were in the control and experimental group respectively, the control group received traditional experimental teaching method, and the experimental group must complete the experimental design before entering the lab. The teaching effect between the two groups were compared. Results The mean operation score of the experimental group was significantly higher than the control group, the proportion of those students who reflected their teaching method could enhance creative ability, problem-solving ability and practical ability was higher in the experimental group, 100% teachers reflected experimental design could improve operation level, strengthen theoretical knowledge, animate teaching atmosphere. Conclusions Experimental design could arouse students' enthusiasm and initiative to study, advocate them to think and ask.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the interpersonal attribution style of the baccalaureate nursing female students(BNFS)and to explore the difference of attribution style between the female students majoring in clinic medicine and nursing.Methods:A cross-sectional study was carried out by using the Interpersonal Relationship Subscale of Multidimensional-Multiattributional Causality Scale by Lefcourt et al. 500 college female students,from clinic medicine and nursing science of Central South University Xiangya School of Medicine, were recruited by using stratified random sampling.Results:The higher Grade, the higher Interpersonal Relationship Attribution Score (IRAS) of BNFS(44.7?7.8~50.8?9.5,45.9?8.0~51.2?7.9). There was no statistical difference in IRAS of the female students majoring in clinic medicine and nursing science (P=0.15～0.81), but the different Grades had statistical difference in IRAS(P
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the interpersonal attribution style,self-efficacy of the baccalaureate female nurs-ing students(BFNS) and to explore the relationship between attribution style and self-efficacy.Methods:113 BFNS from Hainan Medical College were investigated by the Interpersonal Relationship Subscale of Multidimensional-Multiattribu-tional Causality Scale by Lefcourt et al and the General Self-Efficacy Scale(GSES) by Ralf Sehwarzer.Results:The Inter-personal Relationship Attribution Score(IRAS) of BFNS was 41.02?11.38.There was no statistical difference in IRAS be-tween two grades(t=0.899,P=0.371).The BFNS's attribution sequence was ranked as effort,fortune,ability,and back-ground under the condition of interpersonal communication success;while it was fortune,ability,effort,background under the condition of failure.There was statistically significant difference between scores of GSES and the normal(t=-10.212,P= 0.000).Pearson correlation analysis showed that there were positive correlations between the self-efficacy and interperson-al attribution style.Conclusion:When the female nursing students' behavior is successful,there is show more tendency to internal attribution.On the contrary,when they fail,there is more tendency to external attribution.Self-efficacy interacts with interpersonal attribution style.
