ABSTRACT
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has not researched inquiry methods much, other than that it has never been combined with podcast media to better refine students' abilities. The purpose of this study was to determine student satisfaction with basic nursing theory and practice courses taught using the Community of Inquiry framework using podcast media. Methods: This evaluation was done at a university using a validated Community of Inquiry survey (n = 54) and interviews (n = 20). A convenience sample of 54 graduate students enrolled in a core research field comprised the study participants. The quantitative data were analyzed descriptively and the qualitative data were thematically coded. Results: Five major themes emerged: It was a new experience, and fun to learn; it is challenging to learn; it is an ongoing enthusiasm; it is well known, and useful to others. Overall, student satisfaction was high, especially in the cognitive presence (critical thinking) and instructor presence (mostly related to pedagogy) categories. Student perspectives on developing "social presence" vary, but the framework is generally effective for stimulating inquiry and fostering a sense of community. Students can gain thorough knowledge of the learning goals they wish to pursue. Conclusion: Formation of an "investigation community" through the use of the media of podcasts. This framework has significant potential for use in the teaching of nursing research subjects; satisfaction is high when students report learning not only theory and practice, but also how to "make" character changes through the formation of professional and intellectual communities.
ABSTRACT
Background: Everyone becomes aware due to the epidemic, especially primary department nurses. The significance of their experiences teaches nurses how to take care of themselves and be successful in their caregiving. Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the perceptions of nurses working in primary care settings in rural regions during the omicron variant pandemic. Methods: On the basis of the Nvivo 12 analytic approach, extensive semi-structured interviews were used to perform this qualitative study. 20 interviews later, data saturation had been reached. Data collecting was place from February to March 2022 for a month. The following participant characteristics were discovered through semi-structured interviews with 20 nurse participants. Ages of the participants, who were split between eight men and twelve women, varied from 28 to 43 years (average age 36.4 years). The majority (75% of them) had a vocational education, and their years of experience ranged from five to fifteen (average 11 years). Results: 4 topics and 7 sub-themes' results. The results' fundamental message is: The Nursing Clinical Practice Dilemma, school district, virus type uncertainty Indigenous peoples do not adhere to the concept of the afterlife. Must Be Excited and Alert; School Cluster; Virus Type Confusion; Non-Belief in Covid; and the Dilemma of Nursing in Clinical Practice are the Overarching Themes of This Study. Conclusion: Making innovations to increase motivation thereby reducing mental and physical fatigue are the implications of the results of this study. Further exploration of the readiness of nurses to treat patients in the main department is believed to be beneficial for the results of this study.
