Summary Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of hybrid environments (i.e. where part of the patient record is paper-based and part of it is electronic) upon aspects of novice nurse information seeking (i.e. amount of information accessed, choice of key information sources, type of information and use of information seeking tactics). Methods: A within group, laboratory, experimental study was conducted using two simulated environments (i.e. a paper environment and a hybrid environment). Thirty-five novice nurses participated in the study. Results: Findings revealed significant differences between the paper and hybrid environments in terms of their effects upon aspects of novice nurse information seeking. Subjects accessed: 1) less information in the hybrid environment than the paper environment, 2) more non-electronic sources of information were accessed by novice nurses in the hybrid environment, and 3) novice nurses used more passive information seeking tactics in the hybrid environment than the paper environment. Qualitative findings from the cued recall data revealed subjects experienced increased cognitive load in the hybrid environment. Conclusions: Hybrid environments may affect aspects of novice nurse information seeking. Future research should explore the effects of hybrid environments upon the information seeking of other types of health professionals (e.g. physicians, physiotherapists) with differing levels of expertise (i.e. novice, intermediate and expert).

Novice nurses face several challenges, including increased clinical responsibilities and fitting in with other staff members, leaving them at risk for decreased job satisfaction, burnout, and possibly exiting their position or the profession altogether. Frequently, novice nurse orientation focuses on the acquisition of clinical skills; it serves the facility’s needs, but lacks a caring component that acknowledges the nurse as an individual. Nurse educators are in a unique position to develop orientations that will support and enhance the experience of novice nurses. This paper presents an exemplar of applying caring to novice nurse orientation using Swanson’s theory of caring.

SummaryObjectives: Employing new health information technologies while concurrently providing quality patient care and reducing risk is a major challenge in all health care sectors. In this study, we investigated the usability gaps in the Emergency Department Information System (EDIS) as ten nurses differentiated by two experience levels, namely six expert nurses and four novice nurses, completed two lists of nine scenario-based tasks.Methods: Standard usability tests using video analysis, including four sets of performance measures, a task completion survey, the system usability scale (SUS), and sub-task analysis were conducted in order to analyze usability gaps between the two nurse groups.Results: A varying degree of usability gaps were observed between the expert and novice nurse groups, as novice nurses completed the tasks both less efficiently, and expressed less satisfaction with the EDIS. The most interesting finding in this study was the result of ‘percent task success rate,’ the clearest performance measure, with no substantial difference observed between the two nurse groups. Geometric mean values between expert and novice nurse groups for this measure were 60% vs. 62% in scenario 1 and 66% vs. 55% in scenario 2 respectively, while there were some marginal to substantial gaps observed in other performance measures. In addition to performance measures and the SUS, sub-task analysis highlighted navigation pattern differences between users, regardless of experience level.Conclusion: This study will serve as a baseline study for a future comparative usability evaluation of EDIS in other institutions with similar clinical settings.

Purpose This study explores the impact of interplaying and often compounding factors and the resulting ability to thrive as a novice nurse. Novice nurse attrition rates continue to be high, compounding concerns of an impending nursing shortage. There is currently a lack of research that seeks to understand how the interplay of contextual factors impacts novice nurses’ ability to manage the stressors endemic in the field. Design The study was performed using a Basic Qualitative Research approach. Eight western Canadian novice nurses underwent multiple iterative interviews to explore the impact of interplaying contextual factors. Findings: While participant experiences and contexts vary, common patterns of interplay among factors were clear. The interplay between previous life experience factors and the workplace context has a significant impact on the perception and management of workplace stimuli. Those with more developmental assets, garnered through life experience, are less likely to experience workplace stimuli as stressful, reducing their risk of emotional exhaustion and improving their ability to thrive. Implications for nursing: Understanding how interplay impacts the ability to thrive versus survive informs new graduate transition support efforts and enables an ability to articulate the compounding nature of common novice nurse stressors.

Novice nurses’ successful transition to practice is impacted by their interactions with senior nurses. Ensuring that novice nurses are adequately supported during their transition to practice has wide-ranging and significant implications. The aim of this study is to explore the communication patterns between novice and senior nurses by applying an interaction analysis technique. Trimonthly onboarding evaluations between novice and senior nurses were recorded. The Roter Interaction Analysis System was adapted and deployed to identify communication patterns. In total, twenty-two interactions were analyzed. Senior nurses spoke more (64.5%). Task-focused exchange was predominant amongst senior (79.7%) and novice (59.5%) nurses. Senior nurses’ talk was concentrated in clusters of information-giving (45%) and advice or instructions (17.2%), while emotional expression (1.4%) and social talk (0.4%) were rare. Novice nurses’ talk was concentrated in clusters-information giving (57%) and positive talk (39.5%). The communication patterns between senior and novice nurses during the onboarding period indicate aspects of novice nurse transition that could be addressed, such as encouraging novice nurses to use these interactions to communicate more, or emphasizing the importance of social talk. These insights can be used to inform mentorship and preceptorship training to ensure that senior nurses are able to adequately support novice nurses through all parts of the transition to practice period.

Mentoring activities in the clinical area by nurse supervisors are helping the entry-level nurses to the social milieu of the hospital to ensure that competencies are set so that safe and competent patient care are delivered. Hence, this study examined the senior staff nurses’ mentoring activities and their relationship to the nursing skill development as perceived by the novice nurses in Lanao del Norte, Philippines. The study used descriptive-inferential research design involving 71 novice-nurse respondents. The data obtained were analyzed using Pearson correlation. The findings revealed that while in general, mentoring activities given by the senior nurses indicate an increased competence in the nursing skills of the novice nurses as safe practitioners; it also showed partial impact in terms of the competencies on leadership and research. The mentoring activities on conducting scientific inquiry further revealed a significant correlation with the nursing proficiency of the respondents as competent practitioners, managers, and researchers. Therefore, the study concludes that activities geared towards coaching and mentoring neophyte nurses in the clinical areas have a beneficial influence on the development of their needed core competencies in nursing practice. Formally structured preceptorship programs should be adapted to help novice nurses become more apposite, responsive and streamlined care practitioners.

Background. The transition period for novice nurses is the transition of roles as students become professional nurses. Conflict between expectations and the reality of the roles faced can cause stress. The peer learning learning model is a method of learning with peers that aims to develop skills, ways of thinking, solving problems, giving feedback and communicating with others. This study aims to determine the effect of peer learning on nursing care knowledge and work stress on novice nurses in hospital in Jakarta. Methods. This study used a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group design. The novice nurse research sample was divided into two groups, namely the intervention group and the control group with the number of each of 35 respondents using purposive sampling technique. Data collection tools use knowledge instruments about nursing care and Nursing Students Clinical Stress Scale. Data analysis using the Wilcoxon test, Chi-Square test, and Multivariate logistic regression. Results. The results showed differences in the quality of knowledge of nursing care and work stress before and after the implementation of peer learning for 3 times in 3 weeks had the possibility of knowledge increased 13 times compared to clinical nurses who did not implement peer learning and had the possibility of reducing work stress 27 times compared to clinical nurses who do not carry out peer learning. Conclusion. The implementation of peer learning is proven to influence the knowledge of nursing care and occupational stress of the novice nurse. It is recommended to carry out scheduled peer learning programs.
