ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Student satisfaction is an important quality indicator in higher education, impacting student retention and institutional rankings. Healthcare education literature lacks factors related to student satisfaction. Reporting these elements might assist educators in curriculum design that helps to retain students. This is imperative for nursing education with the current global need for graduates. OBJECTIVES: To explore, synthesize and report available evidence on conceptual elements underlying the formation of higher education students' satisfaction, with a focus on nursing education. DESIGN: Integrative review. DATA SOURCES: Six databases were searched for learner experiences of satisfaction: MEDLINE, Academic Search Complete, CINAHL Complete, ERIC, APA PsychArticles, PsychInfo. Articles were screened, assessed for quality and 12 nursing student studies and 10 conceptual studies of mixed student cohorts were reviewed. REVIEW METHODS: Peer-reviewed literature in English during the period 2012 to 2022 was reviewed using methods documented for an integrative review. RESULTS: Twenty-two included studies were mostly quasi-experimental, based on statistical analysis of higher education student surveys. Antecedent elements affecting satisfaction in mixed student cohorts were Service Quality, Institutional Image and perceived Value. These studies identified up to seven dimensions underlying student satisfaction. Nursing studies were focused on the quality of service delivery related to teaching and confirmed five elements: Faculty, Learning environment, Curriculum, Social interaction and Development. Conceptual studies also reported 'consequent' elements, high satisfaction resulting in positive student behavioural intent, loyalty and positive word of mouth. The details of antecedent and consequent elements that underlie student satisfaction are described. CONCLUSION: Conceptual studies of mixed student cohorts identified nine elements that inform student satisfaction with learning experiences. Nursing student studies tested fewer variables and confirmed up to five elements forming student satisfaction. There is a need to investigate the impact of additional key elements in nursing students - perceptions of value, institutional image and administrative support.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To identify the key characteristics of practice nurses' communication with people living with Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) where lifestyle activities are discussed. METHODS: A scoping review of the peer-reviewed literature was conducted. Reflexive thematic analysis was used to identify key themes that emerged. The PRISMA-ScR checklist was followed. RESULTS: 25 studies were retained in the final review. Nurses who were committed to engaging in lifestyle discussions created supportive environments and built rapport to enable change conversations. However, this was present in just 20% of the studies. In most studies, (60%) nurses continued to use traditional health education communication styles, had little understanding of behaviour change theories, lacked skills in behaviour change counselling and were reluctant to engage in behaviour change discussions with people with T2D . CONCLUSIONS: Nurses require a deeper understanding of behavioural change theories and skills in behavioural counselling. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: Practice nurses have a unique opportunity to facilitate T2D remission by engaging in evidence-based behaviour change communication. A behaviour change training intervention is needed that recognises the environment of practice nurse consultations. It needs to be pragmatic and fully consider the enablers and barriers to addressing behaviour change in both the nurse and the person with T2D.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: There are international concerns relating to the management of patient deterioration. The "failure to rescue" literature identifies that nursing staff miss cues of deterioration and often fail to call for assistance. Simulation-based educational approaches may improve nurses' recognition and management of patient deterioration. OBJECTIVES: To investigate the educational impact of the First2Act web-based (WB) and face-to-face (F2F) simulation programs. DESIGN & SETTING: A mixed methods interventional cohort trial with nursing staff from four Australian hospitals. PARTICIPANTS: Nursing staff working in four public and private hospital medical wards in the State of Victoria. METHODS: In 2016, ward nursing staff (n = 74) from a public and private hospital completed three F2F laboratory-based team simulations with a patient actor in teams of three. 56 nursing staff from another public and private hospital individually completed a three-scenario WB simulation program (First2ActWeb) [A 91% participation rate]. Validated tools were used to measure knowledge (multi-choice questionnaire), competence (check-list of actions) and confidence (self-rated) before and after the intervention. RESULTS: Both WB and F2F participants' knowledge, competence and confidence increased significantly after training (p ≤0.001). Skill performance for the WB group increased significantly from 61% to 74% (p ≤ 0.05) and correlated significantly with post-test knowledge (p = 0.014). No change was seen in the F2F groups' performance scores. Course evaluations were positive with median ratings of 4/5 (WB) and 5/5 (F2F). The F2F program received significantly more positive evaluations than the WB program (p < 0.05), particularly with regard to quality of feedback. CONCLUSION: WB and F2F simulation are effective education strategies with both programs demonstrating positive learning outcomes. WB programs increase ease of access to training whilst F2F enable the development of tactile hands on skills and teamwork. A combined blended learning education strategy is recommended to enhance competence and patient safety.
