ABSTRACT
Introduction and Aim: Previously tension-type headache (TTH) was found to be highly prevalent among the general population worldwide, but the current data available were limited. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many life changes occurred to adapt to the situation, students started e-learning from home and their sleep quality (SQ) might be influenced. Physiotherapy and nursing students were studied as they are rarely being studied by researchers, information about them was very limited. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of TTH, SQ and the type of correlation between the two during the COVID-19 pandemic. Method(s): A cross-sectional study was conducted by sharing the online questionnaires composed of 2 main components: (i) Questionnaire formulated from diagnosing criteria for TTH of ICHD-3 (ii) Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), to PS and NS students from higher education institutions in Klang Valley, Malaysia. Result(s): A total of 259 respondents were recruited in the study. The prevalence of TTH was 76.8% and SQ had a mean score of 5.12, which indicated poor SQ among PS and NS students, during the COVID-19 pandemic. Correlation between TTH and SQ was proved to be significant in this study (p=0.032, rs =0.133). Conclusion(s): High prevalence of TTH and poor SQ among PS and NS students during the COVID-19 pandemic was determined. There is a weak positive correlation between TTH and SQ during COVID-19 pandemic.Copyright © 2023, Indian Association of Biomedical Scientists. All rights reserved.
ABSTRACT
Background: The evolution toward future education following the 4th industrial revolution and the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic have changed nursing education dramatically. Online classes have become a new paradigm of education, and are expected to develop and be maintained in various forms even after the end of COVID-19. Therefore, attention is focused on finding ways to improve learners' achievements in a distance learning environment. This study aimed to examine the mediating effects of self-directed learning competency on the relationships between optimism, emotional intelligence and academic resilience among nursing students. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive design was conducted using convenience sampling of 195 nursing students in South Korea. Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation coefficients, multiple regression, and mediation analysis using SPSS/WIN 26.0 program. Results: There were significant positive correlations among self-directed learning competency, optimism, emotional intelligence and academic resilience. The self-directed learning competency acts as a mediator in explaining relationship between optimism, emotional intelligence and academic resilience, respectively. Conclusion: This study provides the evidence for the role of self-directed learning competency in the relationship between optimism, emotional intelligence and academic resilience in nursing students. Rapid changes in education are inevitable due to changes in clinical settings and the impact of repeated infectious disease outbreaks including the COVID-19 pandemic. This study suggests strengthening positive psychology and self-directed learning capability of nursing students as a strategy to prepare for changes in education and clinical areas.

Nursing students' stress, protective factors (e.g. resilience, social support, mindfulness and self-efficacy) and psychological well-being (PWB) have been well reported in the literature. However, the interactions of these variables were scarcely examined in the latter part of the COVID-19 pandemic and in the context of a developing country. This cross-sectional correlational study complying with STROBE guidelines tested a hypothetical model of the interrelationships of nursing students' stress, protective factors and PWB using structural equation modelling (SEM). Nursing students (n = 776) from five nursing schools in the Philippines were conveniently recruited from September 2022 to January 2023. Six validated self-report scales (Perceived Stress Scale, Multi-dimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, Generalized Self-Efficacy Scale, Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, Mindful Attention Awareness Scale, and Psychological Wellbeing Scale) were used to collect data. SEM, mediation analyses and path analyses were used for data analysis. The emerging model demonstrated acceptable model fit parameters. Stress negatively impacted protective factors, while all the protective factors positively influenced PWB. Social support mediated the influence of stress on resilience, mindfulness and PWB. Resilience is a significant mediator of stress, self-efficacy, social support and PWB. Mindfulness mediated the influence of stress, social support and self-efficacy on PWB. Finally, self-efficacy had a mediating role between resilience and mindfulness. Nursing institutions and nurse educators can use the proposed model as their basis for empirical and theoretical evidence in creating programmes that will strengthen nursing students' protective factors, thus reducing stress while improving PWB and learning outcomes.
ABSTRACT
This study aimed to examine professional behavior as role models in nursing education during the COVID-19 pandemic perceived by nursing students. This study applied a mixed-method design using a sequential explanatory approach. A total of 120 nursing students participated in the self-reported questionnaire, and 10 were involved in semistructured individual interviews. The Professional Nurse Educator Role-Model questionnaire developed by the authors was used to collect quantitative data, and four open-ended questions modified from a previous study as the guideline in qualitative data collection. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive quantitative analysis. Open-ended questions were analyzed using thematic analysis. Quantitatively, students reported that excellent professional behaviors as role models were prevalent in nursing education (Mean 3.61 out of 4). Four themes from qualitative findings were revealed to complement the quantitative data, including teaching by example, altruism, efficiently performing, and effective communication. In conclusion, nurses as educators and clinicians could be students' professional role models, particularly in clinical settings during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is essential for nurse educators and clinicians to actively create a culture of professional nursing care for self and others during the pandemic to be present in wholeness and provide holistic care.
ABSTRACT
AIM: There is a discussion about COVID-19 vaccination rates among healthcare workers (HCW), especially nurses. The primary question for this review was: "What are the attitudes of nurses, compared to other HCW, towards COVID-19 vaccination?" The secondary questions included the proportion of nurses with intention to get vaccinated, what prevents the nurses from accepting the vaccine and what enables them to accept the vaccine. METHODS: The PRISMA-ScR format for scoping reviews was chosen to respect the novelty of COVID-19 vaccines. Database search (PubMed/MEDLINE, PROquest and EBSCO) was performed for original studies in English language, from all geographies, with most recent search on March 20, 2022. Vaccination acceptance rates were charted for nurses and nursing students in one category, and HCW other than nurses in the other category. The evolution in time of the nurses attitude to vaccine acceptance relative to that of HCW other than nurses was charted post hoc. The factors associated with COVID-19 vaccination intention according to the WHO categories (contextual influences, individual/ group influences, and vaccine/vaccination specific issues) were reviewed as narrative summary. RESULTS: Total 58 eligible studies were selected, all with cross-sectional study design, including 95418 healthcare workers of whom 33130 were nurses and 7391 were nursing students, from 44 countries in Europe, Americas, Africa and Asia. Trust in science, in doctors, in experts and in governments were the main contextual factors increasing vaccination acceptance mentioned in the studies, while altruism and collective protection, or protecting a person at risk at home was mentioned only few times. The nurses were less likely to accept vaccination compared to doctors and other HCWs at the onset, eg. before vaccine rollout, and this difference decreased with time (p = 0.022). Being older (n = 25 studies), being male (n = 23), having higher degree of education (n = 7), and having more years of clinical practice (n = 4) were associated with higher vaccination acceptance. Percieved individual risk of having severe COVID-19 (n = 14) or working in a COVID-19 dedicated units (n = 5) was mentioned in a minority of studies. The main vaccine-releated factors associated with higher vaccination intention were trust in the vaccine and its efficacy and safety, general vaccinatoin acceptance and specifically having had influenza vaccination in previous years (n = 21 studies). A significant factor associated with higher vaccine acceptance was high "vaccine knowledge", "vaccine literacy", "understanding the vaccine" or "understanding benefits and barriers of vaccination" (n = 17 studies). CONCLUSIONS: Nurses have been more hesitant to accept COVID-19 vaccination than other healthcare professions at the beginning, but with time this difference disappeared. This general nurse attitude of wait-and-see reported in the studies corresponds with real-life data from practicing healthcare workers as reported by the Czech Institute of Health Information and Statistics on vaccination against COVID-19. Trust in scientific structures and vaccine makers increases the vaccine acceptance. The acceptance increases also with higher age, increasing level of education, longer clinical experience, and also with being a male. Vaccine literacy and having participated in previous vaccination programmes, especially influenza vaccine, were identified as independent modifiable factors increasing vaccination acceptance.

Introduction: Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, nursing educational programs have shifted from physical to online learning, both academic and clinical learning. Case-based learning is one of the clinical learning methods which is adapted to current circumstances. The learning method connects theoretical knowledge and practical experiences on nursing students' clinical environment. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of online case-based learning on the clinical nursing students' self-confidence. Methods: Forty-five clinical nursing students participated in this quasi-experimental study with one group pre-post-test design. The students' self-confidence was evaluated using an instrument consisting of 15 Likert-scale items with cognitive, affective, and psychomotor subscales. The students' self-confidence was measured before and after the online case-based learning (O-CBL) activities. The activities included case presentation, individual case analysis, small group discussion, and problem-solving practice for students. Results: This study successfully organized the O-CBL method to enhance the students' self-confidence. The average self-confidence level of the students increased from 57.84 to 60.62. Paired t-test analysis yielded p=0.006 (p <0.05), which indicated a significant effect of O-CBL on the students' self-confidence. Significant findings were also discovered from the cognitive (p=0.01) and psychomotor (p=0.004) domains. The students' affective domain did not significantly improve (p=0.089, p>0.05). Conclusion: O-CBL increases nursing students' self-confidence specifically in cognitive and psychomotor aspects. © 2023, Sanglah General Hospital. All rights reserved.
ABSTRACT
The Covid-19 pandemic has affected the lives of people in many areas of the world. Similarly, international students have also experienced some physical, mental, and social changes during the Covid-19 pandemic. They have not been able to go to their home countries for several reasons, like economic problems, permissions and restrictions, and uncertainty. Therefore, their needs such as physical, financial and psychosocial support should be recognised and met. This study aimed to investigate the lived experiences of international midwifery students in Turkey during the Covid-19 pandemic. Using a phenomenological methodology, 18 in-depth interviews were completed via an online video programme, and a thematic analysis was completed. Eighteen international midwifery students were reached by the snowball technique of the purposive sampling method in a city in the Black Sea region. A content analysis method was applied in order to analyse the data, and the comments were expressed descriptively. Eight themes, and subthemes for each of them, were analysed. The themes are the effects of the pandemic on daily life;health;social life;education;mental health;being infected in Turkey;the changes caused by the pandemic in individuals;and the ways to cope with the pandemic. The study concluded that the students' daily social lives, physical and mental health, and education had been affected by the pandemic. In spite of all its negative sides, the pandemic had some positive contributions for the students, such as helping them to discover and know themselves and become stronger. © Unisa Press 2022.
ABSTRACT
Management of the COVID-19 pandemic required healthcare leaders and frontline workers to rapidly innovate and adjust to a new reality that has forever transformed nursing education and practice. Throughout the pandemic, key stakeholders in Alabama lobbied for transformations in clinical training practice that ultimately improved students' exposure to clinical environments and alleviated the pressure on practicing nurses and other healthcare workers during pandemic hospitalization surges. The present article highlights the key partners and regulatory innovations that led to these successes in Alabama.
ABSTRACT
This study aimed to examine the relationships between student satisfaction and self-confidence in learning (SCLS), the simulation design scale (SDS), and educational practices in simulation (EPSS) and to identify the influencing factors on SCLS in nursing students undergoing simulation learning. Of the fourth-year nursing students, 71 who were taking a medical-surgical nursing simulation course and voluntarily provided informed consent to participate in the study were enrolled. Data on SCLS, SDS, and EPSS were collected via an online survey after the simulation, from 1 October 2019 to 11 October 2019. The mean SCLS score was 56.31 ± 7.26, the mean SDS score was 86.82 ± 10.19 (range: 64~100), and the mean EPSS score was 70.87 ± 7.66 (range: 53~80). SCLS was positively correlated with SDS (r = 0.74, p < 0.001) and EPSS (r = 0.75, p < 0.001). The regression model for SCLS in nursing students revealed that SCLS increased with increasing EPSS and SDS, and that SDS and EPSS explained 58.7% of the variance in SCLS (F = 50.83, p < 0.001). Therefore, to improve the learning satisfaction and learning confidence of nursing students in simulation classes, it is necessary to consider simulation design and practice considering educational factors.
ABSTRACT
The most life-threatening illness that is the primary cause of female morality is Breast cancer. Breast cancer research has led to extraordinary breakthroughs in our understanding of the illness over the last two decades, leading in more effective medicines. Now days, In most Of all malignant diseases, one of the most deadly occurring cancer are those cancers occurring in the breast, accounting for 23 percent of all cancer fatalities. It is now a global issue, yet it is still detected in its advanced stages due to women's neglect in self-inspection. The greater parts of people learn from their disease is thorough practice of screening procedures. Others may come with a breast lump that was discovered by accident, a change in breast shape or size, or nipple discharge, although mastalgia is not unusual. To diagnose breast cancer, a physical examination, imaging, particularly mammography, and tissue biopsy are required. Early detection increases the chances of survival.Copyright © 2022 Novyi Russkii Universitet. All rights reserved.
ABSTRACT
Introduction: Uncontrolled blood pressure of people with hypertension remains a major public health issue. The purpose of this research was to evaluate the effectiveness of a Nurse-led Team-based Hypertension Management Program (NTHMP) among people with uncontrolled hypertension. Methods: This quasi-experimental one-group pre-posttest design research was done to evaluate the effectiveness of a NTHMP in a community hospital in Thailand. The sample was thirty people with uncontrolled hypertension who received outpatient care in a community hospital in Thailand. They participated in three months NTHMP which included 1) team-approached health education, 2) medication administration support, 3) motivation interviewing on behavioral adjustment and 4) home blood pressure monitoring for three months. Outcomes of the program;systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, hospital admissions with signs of hypertensive urgency were analyzed by using frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and repeated measured ANOVA. Results: The results indicated that people with uncontrolled HT had lower systolic blood pressures and diastolic blood pressure compared with baseline levels (p<0.001), and no hospital admissions. Conclusion: This program provided evidence for nurses to manage blood pressure control in people with hypertension within a collaboration with multidisciplinary team members in the community hospital. © 2021, Faculty of Nursing, Universitas Airlangga.

ABSTRACT
The aim of the study to examine the level of psychological distress among nursing students volunteering in Covid-19 frontline prevention in Vietnam and related factors. Nursing students volunteering in frontline prevention presented emotional effects, including positive and negative effects on their psychological well-being. A cross-sectional study design was used and four hundred seventy-one students who volunteered for frontline prevention were randomly selected in the study using inclusion criteria. Data were collected from October to December 2021. A demographic questionnaire, the General Self-Efficacy Scale, the 6-item Kessler Psychological Distress Scale, the Brief Coping Orientation to Problems Experienced Inventory Questionnaire, and the Quality of life EQ-5D-5L were used to measure the variables. The data analysis was conducted by using descriptive statistics and linear regression. The research found that students presented a high risk of psychological distress. There was a significant correlation between problem-and emotional-coping strategies, quality of life, and psychological distress. Moreover, family support and psychological distress among nursing students had a strong relationship. Lecturers and high education institutions responsible for nursing students should pay more attention to developing psychological interventions in enhancing coping strategies and quality of life and various supports to reduce distress among nursing students fighting the epidemic.Copyright © 2022 Mohan R, et al.
ABSTRACT
Background: Health sectors can be listed under the high-risk work areas. As we all know, in this COVID 19 pandemic, doctors, nurses, health workers are the front line warriors. If we consider only the nursing personnel here, their tasks alone are prone to occupational hazards. Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are most common among the self-reported occupational diseases. In previous studies, a significantly large number of participants reported musculoskeletal symptoms faced at least once. Insufficiency of ergonomic expertise is one of the most important recognizable risk factors as well as the shortage of staff in hospitals. MSDs are caused due to stressful physical work, static work postures, frequent bending, and twisting, lifting, pushing, and pulling of heavy objects, vibrations, localized mechanical pressure, etc. Various studies have shown that the daily chores of nursing personnel put them at high risk of MSDs. Methods : The study areas were different hospitals and nursing homes in West Bengal. Only the female, registered nurses working in different wards are chosen for this study. The study's inclusion criteria were only the female, registered nurses and the absence of any chronic disease in them. The exclusion criteria were the nursing students, nurses having histories of recent or previous major accidents/injuries or chronic diseases. The study population was interviewed on a one-to-one basis by means of a questionnaire based on Modified Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire. Result(s): Among the total study population, 67.5% of subjects reported low back pain (LBP). 22.5% reported upper back, knee, and ankle discomfort. 27.5%, 15%, and 12.5% reported neck, shoulder, and wrist/hand discomfort, respectively. Conclusion(s): The results of this study have revealed that MSDs are a common phenomenon among nursing personnel. LBP is the most familiar among them, 67.5% of subjects have reported the presence of discomfort. Not only LBP, subjects reported neck, shoulder, knee, and upper back discomfort along with ankle and wrist symptoms. In this COVID-19 scenario, their jobs have become more strenuous than usual. It is found that tasks requiring continuous long hours to perform are causing symptoms to appear. Shift rotations, splitting of shifts, using more ergonomically designed tools, knowledge of ergonomic skills are required in this situation to avoid the aggravation of symptoms.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: The learning system carried out online during the COVID-19 pandemic increasingly supports students to delay working on assignments. AIM: The purpose of this study was to explore the academic procrastination of students during a pandemic. METHOD(S): This research using a cross-sectional study research method with 399 nursing students as respondents, data were collected using Google Forms which was circulated online, data were processed using descriptive, Pearson, and linear regression methods. RESULT(S): Pearson's results show that there is a positive correlation for age, fear of failure, aversiveness of task, difficulty making decisions, dependency, lack of assertion, risk taking, and rebellion against control. The results of the linear regression test showed that aversiveness of task, dependency, and lack of assertion were the strongest predictors of students' reasons for procrastinating. CONCLUSION(S): Academic procrastination by students, if carried out continuously and repeatedly, will have an impact on academic performance, grades, and mental health.Copyright © 2022 Syiddatul Budury, Diah Jerita Eka Sari, Widiharti Widiharti, Theresia Anita Pramesti, Siti Nur Hasina.
ABSTRACT
Aims: This study aims to assess the state of mental health of nursing students in Kosovo and their willingness to provide professional health services for individuals at risk during the COVID-19 pandemic. Method(s): In this cross-sectional survey, undergraduate nursing students from three higher education institutions in Kosovo participate from May 25, 2020, to June 5, 2020. Data was collected through a structured, anonymous, self-directed questionnaire via the online platform-google forms. Questions about nursing knowledge, skills and competencies, and willingness to work, if necessary, in healthcare facilities in Kosovo before graduation during the COVID-19 pandemic, were organised according to the Likert scale. Result(s): Four hundred and seventy-two nursing students (82% female;and mean age 20.3+/-1.8 years) participated in the study. 18.2% of students required further evaluation for depression, 48.3% for anxiety, and 30.7% for stress. 77.8% of students agreed that they had acquired sufficient knowledge, 80.6% that they had sufficient skills, and 75.9% that they had sufficient competencies, during their studies, to work as nurses. Female students had higher stress (8.55+/-4.06) and anxiety scores (6.65+/-4.08) compared to their male counterparts (7.46+/-4.35;and 5.02+/-4.07;respectively) (p<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference among categories of stress, anxiety and depression, and nursing student's willingness to work or not during COVID-19 pandemic (p>0.05). Conclusion(s): Most nursing students in Kosovo appear ready and willing to join qualified nurses in healthcare institutions in delivering health services during the COVID-19 pandemic. Highlights: Most nursing students are willing to provide health services during the pandemic. The female students had higher stress and anxiety scores than their counterparts. This study discovered that students needed psychological support during the pandemic. Serving during the pandemic will put into practice problem-solving skills.Copyright © 2023 Tahirbegolli et al.
ABSTRACT
Purpose: The purpose of this rapid review was to present current evidence on relations between resilience and self-efficacy among healthcare practitioners in the context of COVID-19 pandemic. Design/methodology/approach: Literature searches were conducted in February/2022 in the online database MEDLINE EBSCO and not date/time limited. Eligibility criteria were as follows: population - healthcare practitioners, interest - relations between resilience and self-efficacy and context - COVID-19. Finding(s): Six eligible studies from Italy, China, United Kingdom, India, Pakistan and Spain, published between 2020 and 2021 were included in the review. All studies used quantitative methods. The relations between resilience and self-efficacy were identified in contexts of resilience programs, measuring mental health of frontline nurses, measuring nurses' and nursing students' perception of psychological preparedness for pandemic management, perception of COVID-19 severity and mediating roles of self-efficacy and resilience between stress and both physical and mental quality of life. Findings indicated limited research on this topic and a need for more research. Practical implications: Broader understanding of the relations between resilience and self-efficacy may help healthcare organizations' leaders/managers aiming to support resilience of their employers under challenging circumstances such as future pandemic. Originality/value: The latest COVID-19 pandemic presented the opportunity to research relations between resilience and self-efficacy and enrich existed research in a new and extraordinary context.Copyright © 2023, Joanna Barbara Baluszek, Kolbjorn Kallesten Bronnick and Siri Wiig.
ABSTRACT
online Learning is enacted as an effort to prevent the spread of covid-19. Various limitations and obstacles encountered during the process of online learning in the pandemic demanded adaptation better than educators and learners. Students need to do self-adjustment in learning and are expected to have the self efficacy to master and complete a task in online learning. Educators need to do the management of cognitive load in learning. The purpose of the study to determine the effect of self efficacy against the cognitive load in online learning in the pandemic covid-19. Quantitative research methods are correlational, involving 316 respondents. The process of data collection is done online. The results of the univariate analysis showed the majority of respondents have the level of self efficacy is high enough (27,2%), cognitive load category (73,1%). Most of the respondents have ICL the moderate category (66,8%), the ECL moderate category (71,8%) and all respondents have a GCL category (100%). Bivariate analysis using the correlation provided by kendall's tau-b shows there is significant influence the level of self efficacy of respondents to rate the cognitive load of the respondents where the value of Sig. (2-tailed) is 0.048% ownership of < 0.05, with the degree of influence of level of self efficacy of the respondents on the level of cognitive load that is very strong (of 0.96). Based on the results of the study, it is expected that lecturers can optimize the ability of students and develop values/character that support to increase self efficacy of students and make improvements learning strategies to reduce cognitive load of students.Copyright © 2020 Ubiquity Press.

ABSTRACT
The clinical nurse preceptor offers a transition to senior student nurses into professional nursing practice with a student preceptorship. Despite this historical educational resource in nursing baccalaureate programs, there is increasing difficulty in obtaining qualified preceptors to serve in this role (American Association of Colleges of Nursing [AACN], 2019). The National Advisory Council on Nurse Education and Practice (NACNEP) (2020) recently addressed the shortage of clinical preceptors and highlighted that the COVID-19 pandemic affected the clinical learning experiences of student nurses in the United States (US). As a result, the Council recommends increasing the necessity to ensure adequate availability and quality of preceptors. This study aims to describe the preceptor experience in the current US healthcare environment, predominantly in the eastern part of the nation. The research question that guided this study was What is the lived experience of the clinical nurse precepting a prelicensure senior baccalaureate student nurse? Participants of this study included a sample of 10 clinical nurse preceptors employed in an acute care hospital in the eastern US. Digitally recorded interviews completed via Zoom or telephone used a verbal question and answer format consisting of 11 demographic and five open-ended questions. The description of the clinical nurse preceptor experience can share meaning on current relevant issues. The qualitative study using descriptive phenomenology extracted six themes and two subthemes from the data analysis applying Colaizzi's (1978) method. The six identified themes included processing transition, initiation to the role with two subthemes-invitation and education, reciprocal learning, perception of support, help to get through the day, and momentous anecdotal memories. The study findings can assist nurse administration, educators, and clinical nurse preceptors with further insight to support preceptor experiences.
