Mentoring as a process that promotes emotional competence in nursing: perspectives of students and teachers of the undergraduate course / A mentoria como processo promotor da competência emocional em enfermagem: perspetivas de estudantes e professores do curso de licenciatura

Introduction: Mentoring programs, developed in a close relationship with students, allow for a better academic adaptation, promote the development of emotional and social competencies, and expand the network of academic and professional relationships. Aims: Characterize the emotional experiences of nursing students and understand the importance of mentoring in the process of integrating them in a Lisbon School. Methods: This is a cross-sectional, descriptive and correlational study, with a mixed approach. The emotional competencies survey was applied to 238 students, semi-structured interviews with 12 students and focus groups to 10 teachers. Results: Most students are female and attend the 1st and 2nd year. Female students are associated with a better perception and emotional expression. The student's adaptation to higher education is related to a greater ability to cope with emotions. Lastly, school performance influences the student's ability to manage emotions. As to the findings of the interviews, these revealed: precipitating factors of negative intensity emotional experiences; emotional experiences of negative intensity; emotional management strategies; And the function of mentoring in the development of emotional competence. In the focus groups we assessed that the teachers recognize the emotional experience faced by the students resulting from: events, experiences and academic difficulties that trigger emotions of negative load. The concept of mentoring and mentor are different, with requirements, diffi-culties and barriers to the implementation of the mentoring process. Conclusions: Mentoring is a process that influences both the coping of academic performance and the development of competence related to emotional management, acceptance and communication, which are fundamental for the nursing practice

Tutorización clínica en enfermería / Nursing clinical tutoring

En la docencia y el aprendizaje clínico, la tutorización universitaria se comparte con la que las enfermeras y los enfermeros de los distintos puestos de prácticas llevan a cabo en instituciones sociosanitarias (centros de atención familiar y comunitaria, hospitales, instituciones geriátricas, centros de atención a la diversidad funcional y a la salud mental, colegios, comunidades de vecinos, etc.). Sus funciones son coordinadas e interdependientes y ambas deben confluir en el aprendizaje en competencias del alumnado. Sin embargo, la tutoría clínica se diferencia de aquella que el alumnado realiza con el profesorado a nivel teórico en la universidad, ya sea de forma online o presencial, individual o grupal. Esta diferencia se basa fundamentalmente en que la tutorización clínica siempre se realiza de forma presencial en cada uno de los centros de prácticas y a través de la instrucción y el modelaje. El tutor clínico está satisfecho con la función docente que realiza y reclama mayor formación, acreditación y participación en la planificación de objetivos de aprendizaje conjuntamente con el profesorado de la universidad

When it comes to teaching and clinical learning, university tutoring is shared with nurses from different disciplines in public health institutions (Family and Community Care Centers, Hospitals, Geriatric Institutions, Mental Health Centers, schools, neighboring communities, etc...). Their activities are coordinated and interdependent; both must coalesce in students' competency-based learning process. However, clinical tutoring differs substantially from the university tutoring that students receive at a theoretical level, either online or face to face, individually or in groups. The difference is fundamentally based on the fact that clinical tutoring is always carried out in person at each of the practice centers and is based on instruction and modeling. The clinical tutor, satisfied with the teaching function he performs, logically demands greater training, accreditation and participation in the planning of learning objectives jointly with the university faculty

Intercambio internacional para la adquisición de competencias en la enseñanza de la Enfermería. Un análisis reflexivo bajo la teoría de Patricia Benner / International Nursing Faculty Exchange for the Acquisition of Teaching Skills. A reflective account based on Patricia Benner's Theory

La Enfermería es una profesión que actúa en varias dimensiones: en el cuidado, en la investigación, en la gestión y en la educación, y es en esta última donde el profesional enfermero que orienta su carrera hacia la docencia, lo hace a través de la práctica pedagógica. El desarrollo en la práctica de una disciplina se fundamenta en el "saber hacer" o el "saber cómo", y establece diferentes niveles de competencia para la adquisición de habilidades, siendo necesario realizar estrategias que permitan lograr este propósito. Teniendo como referencia las aportaciones de Patricia Benner, en este ensayo presentamos algunas reflexiones y conclusiones fruto nuestras experiencias dentro del marco de un Programa de Intercambio Docente entre una universidad peruana y una española. Pretendemos abrir un espacio a la reflexión y al análisis de la práctica educativa, además de descubrir las necesidades formativas para desarrollar planes formativos pedagógicos donde podamos favorecer la adquisición de un perfil competencial experto para desarrollar la labor docente

Nursing is a profession that acts in several dimensions: care, research, management and education, and is in the latter where nurses who direct their career to teaching, do so through pedagogical practice. The development of the practice in a discipline is based on the "know how", and it establishes different levels of competence for the acquisition of skills. Thus, it becomes necessary strategies to achieve this purpose. Taking as reference the contributions of Patricia Benner, in this paper we present some of the reflections and conclusions as a result of our experiences within the framework of a Faculty Exchange Program between a Peruvian and Spanish universities. We intend to create a space for reflection and analysis of the educational practice. Moreover, we aim to reveal some training needs to develop training pedagogical plans where we can encourage the acquisition of an expert profile to develop teaching

Intervenciones enfermeras NIC como herramienta de evaluación de las competencias del Prácticum de estudiantes de Enfermería en las unidades quirúrgicas / NIC as a tool for assessing competences of nursing students in clinical placement at surgical units

INTRODUCCIÓN: Mostramos la utilidad del lenguaje estandarizado NIC para evaluar el alcance de las competencias del Prácticum de los estudiantes de enfermería en las unidades quirúrgicas. OBJETIVO: Conocer las intervenciones de enfermería de la clasificación NIC que los estudiantes pueden aprender a realizar en las unidades quirúrgicas y el grado de dificultad para el aprendizaje de las intervenciones, según las semanas de rotación del alumno en las prácticas clínicas. MÉTODO: Estudio cualitativo mediante técnica de consenso Delphi, con la participación de enfermeros con experiencia docentes que trabajan en unidades quirúrgicas hospitalarias donde los estudiantes realizan el Prácticum. Se triangularon los resultados mediante cuestionario a los tutores sobre el grado de conformidad con los mismos. RESULTADOS: Se consensuan las intervenciones que los alumnos pueden realizar en las unidades quirúrgicas y la frecuencia con que las realizan, también se determina el grado de dificultad de cada intervención y las semanas de prácticas que los alumnos necesitan para alcanzar el grado de aprendizaje esperado para alcanzar las competencias. CONCLUSIÓN: Los resultados nos permitirán diseñar rotaciones más ajustadas a las necesidades del alumnado. Conocer la frecuencia con la que una intervención se realiza en cada unidad determina las posibilidades de su aprendizaje y los indicadores para su evaluación

BACKGROUND: This paper shows the utility of a NIC standardized language to assess the extent of nursing student skills at Practicum in surgical units OBJECTIVE: To identify the nursing interventions classification (NIC) that students can learn to perform in surgical units. To determine the level of difficulty in learning interventions, depending on which week of rotation in clinical placement the student is. Method: Qualitative study using Delphi consensus technique, involving nurses with teaching experience who work in hospital surgical units, where students undertake the Practicum. The results were triangulated through a questionnaire to tutors about the degree of conformity. RESULTS: A consensus was reached about the interventions that students can achieve in surgical units and the frequency in which they can be performed. The level of difficulty of each intervention, and the amount of weeks of practice that students need to reach the expected level of competence was also determined. CONCLUSIONS: The results should enable us to design better rotations matched to student needs. Knowing the frequency of each intervention that is performed in each unit determines the chances of learning it, as well as the indicators for its assessment

Research in nursing education: state of the science.

The purpose of this pilot study was to assess the educational research currently conducted in U.S. schools of nursing. In this article, we describe the results from a small sample of schools of nursing (N = 21) and report the prevalence, type and level of funding for educational research, perceived barriers to developing and conducting rigorous programs of educational research in nursing, and support required. The respondents reported conducting primarily descriptive studies, most of which were underfunded, as well as a variety of barriers to conducting programs of educational research. The findings from this study provide some initial insights into the state of nursing education science in the United States. Despite the small sample, the findings affirm the paucity of research in nursing education and that the discipline must attend to the developmental needs of nurse researchers who study phenomena related to nursing education.

Critically appraising quantitative research.

Critical appraisal of quantitative research is a skill that is necessary for adequate evidence-based practice. This paper describes critical appraisal and offers a process for its implementation. Four categories of quantitative studies are reviewed and associated links to relevant critical appraisal frameworks are provided. The implications for students, nursing faculty members, and practicing nurses are discussed.

Public health nursing practice: aftermath of September 11, 2001.

America's experience on September 11, 2001, forms the backdrop of this review of the public health nursing role in bioterrorism preparedness. The risks and challenges to the public health infrastructure are reviewed in order to place bioterrorism preparedness in a public health context. A review of the literature provides background material on the extent to which public health has evolved in planning for a bioterrorism event. The skills and competencies that will prepare public health nurses in their planning for and response to threats of bioterrorism are addressed. Anthrax is used as an example to illustrate how public health nursing can assist in a bioterrorism response.

Nursing and the 21st century: what's happened to leadership?

This paper has stemmed from several conversations between the authors over recent times about the current state of leadership in nursing. The authors believe a lack of effective leadership has much to do with the times in which we live. As a result, this paper explores leadership against a backdrop of social and political change and seeks to revise the concept in light of 21st century developments. The demise of leadership is discussed and ideas about the emergence of new leadership brought to light. Finally the need for nurses and nursing to shake off the depressive effects of economic rationalism, join forces and unite for a cause is recommended.

Joint appointments: another dimension to building bridges.

For many years nurse education has been under close scrutiny, with particular focus on the links between what is taught in the classroom and what is practised. Since the onset of the United Kingdom Central Council for Nursing and Midwifery's Project 2000: A new preparation for practice, concerns have been raised over the potential for an even greater gap between theory and practice. Within this concept, the development of joint appointments between education and service providers has been an issue of much debate within the nursing profession in recent years. This paper explores the complexity of the role and shares the writer's personal experiences as a joint appointee between University College Worcester and Worcester Royal Infirmary NHS Trust. The issues discussed demonstrate how by supporting nurses in their development of practice, research, policy and teaching, joint appointments can contribute directly and indirectly to providing a first class nursing service for patients.

Faculty practice: how it enhances teaching.

This article is a presentation of the two authors' views on faculty practice and how both have operationalized the practice option. Both describe how the practice option has positively affected their teaching and their students' learning in a university baccalaureate nursing program located in the midwestern United States. The authors are full-time, master's prepared faculty members who have been in the faculty practice track for 2 years. Both teach in the junior year of a 4-year baccalaureate program. The first author (D.M.G.) is a staff nurse who works in a community hospital and serves on the hospital's clinical nursing research committee. The second author (C.R.S.) is a clinical research nurse coordinator who performs and manages pharmaceutical trials at multiple inpatient and outpatient locations. In this article, the authors examine faculty practice in general and the various models currently used. In addition, they explain their individual academic positions, the duties and responsibilities accompanying each of their practice roles, and the integration of those practice experiences into their clinical and classroom learning.

The consistency of change in the development of nursing faculty practice plans.

Nursing faculty practice plans need to be inherently flexible to meet the changing needs of nursing schools and the external clients of the practice plans. The University of Texas-Houston Health Science Center (UT-Houston) School of Nursing has constructed two integrated models of faculty practice to meet the challenges of change. Our linkage model with outside agencies and our academic nursing center provided in excess of one million dollars of support to the School of Nursing in fiscal year 1992-1993. Flexibility in our linkage model is discussed in such areas as the negotiation process for contracts with outside agencies, methods of payment for services, calculations of cost recoveries, methods of setting consultant rate levels, revisions of fund-disbursement policies, and development of fund-tracking systems. UT-Houston School of Nursing's nursing center model is based on a business plan and was established without outside funding assistance. Over time, the areas of concentration have changed because of changing community needs and market conditions. Its revenues depend on marketing efforts by the clinic staff. Evaluation and outcome research, to be based on computerized financial and patient record information systems, are considered critical elements in maintaining the UT-Houston cutting-edge leadership as an academic nursing center.

Adjunct executive appointment for faculty. An innovation in nursing collaboration.

The need for collaboration has never been greater. The healthcare delivery system faces unprecedented challenges arising from prospective payment, competition in the marketplace, higher patient acuity levels, and a shortage of professional nursing staff. The authors discuss a service-education collaboration model based on adjunct executive appointments of faculty members to healthcare organizations. The authors describe the model, a conceptual framework to guide its development, case studies of its implementation, and a summary of the benefits and risks associated with the initial implementation of the model.

Nurse faculty practice: from theory to reality.

This article discusses the developmental stages involved in moving the concept of faculty practice from theory to reality. Bennis, Benne, and Chin's theories for planned change and Hage's theory for organizational change with a dominant coalition form the theoretical bases for this redical innovation. Smith's Time Line serves as the framework for tracing the development of the plan over its 6-year history. The political, logistic, and financial promoters and constraints at each stage of development are identified. Faculty reaction to the idea of faculty practice is presented, and the mechanisms used to bring about group consensus are described. The key elements for the successful transition of this plan are a small and resilient group of faculty planners and adaptation of existing organizational systems to accommodate nursing's interests. Finally, the practice plan is presented at its present stage of development with its future goals.
