AbstractAimTo analyze the Socio-emotional (SE) skills of the students in the Nursing Degree, and their relationship with their clinical practice in hospital centers.MethodsCross-sectional descriptive study of a sample of 91 nursing students. SE skills were analyzed through self-administered questionnaires, and the clinical practices through the instrument “Clinical Practices Evaluation Notebook”.FindingsThe students obtained medium and high scores in the SE skills and in the clinical practices. Most of the SE skills had a positive and statistically significant relationship (p < 0.05) between them. A relationship was observed between SE skills with performance in clinical practices, through a multiple linear regression.DiscussionIt is suggested that the development of the SE skills of the nursing students within the Nursing degree curriculum has an influence on their performance during their clinical practices.ConclusionThe SE skills are a potential predictor of the performance of the nursing students in clinical practices.

This descriptive study was conducted to determine nursing students’ observation of ethical problems encountered in their clinical practice. Data were collected through a questionnaire from 153 volunteer nursing students at a university-based nursing school in Ankara, Turkey. The students reported that some patients are either physically or psychologically mistreated by doctors and nurses; they were not given appropriate information; they were subjected to discrimination according to their socio-economic situation; and their privacy was ignored. The findings reveal that nurses’ own unethical behaviors contribute to a rise in ethical problems. It is argued that nurses should internalize their professional and ethical roles in order to provide safe and ethical care and be good role models for students.

The aim of this study was to investigate which of research on nursing informatics in Turkey. In this descriptive study, the document review technique was used. Studies on nursing informatics in Turkey between the years 2009-2019 were examined. Literature search was conducted in Scholar Google, PUBMED, YÖK Thesis, Science Direct, Ebscohost databases in Turkish and English using the keywords “nursing informatics, informatics”. Of the research articles, 15 were included in the study. All of the studies in the sample were found to be descriptive. In the research results, it has been determined that the use of information technologies in nursing is directed to nursing students, nurses and patients. In the findings, it is seen that in most of the studies examined, questionnaires prepared by the researchers were used, and only seven studies used valid and reliable scales. It has been determined that attitudes towards computer use, the use of information technologies and nurse documentation systems are included in the studies. It was emphasized that the quality and number of studies to be carried out in the fields of education, clinical practice and management with information technologies should be increased.

Abstract BackgroundClinical placements play an important role in helping nursing students to achieve clinical competence, but these placements can be highly challenging and stressful. It has been shown that stress can be either a trigger or aggravating factor for ill-health in general, but studies have seldom differentiated the impact of general health status on perceived stress. This study examined factors associated with perceived stress of clinical practice among nursing students with a particular focus on the effect of general health status on stress.MethodsThis was a cross-sectional quantitative study conducted among 724 associate nursing degree students in Southern Taiwan. ResultsHealth status scores varied from 28-139, with an average of 68.40 (SD = 25.75). Health status was reported to be ‘good’ (scores 28-55) in 35.5% of participants, moderate (scores 56–83) in 24.6%, and poor (Scores ≧ 84) in 39.9% of participants. Perceived stress scores ranged from 0-95 points with an average score of 36.65 (SD ± 15.95). The CART analysis showed health status as the most important factor linked to perceived stress with a Normalized Importance value of 100%. Those who reported general health status (measured through GHQ-28 ) score of ≤ 34.5 perceived mild stress and those with a score of >34.5–<84.5 perceived moderate stress. A score of 84.5 was found to be the point of transition to perceptions of severe stress. When health status score was greater than 84.5, perceived stress was at a severe or extremely severe level. ConclusionsOur findings indicated health status as a potential measure to identify students who were most vulnerable to perceived stress. Given the cross-sectional design of this study and the bidirectional relationship between health and stress, more studies are needed to fully establish the predictive link between general health status and vulnerability to stress.

Objetivo: verificar a implementação do checklist de cirurgia segura entre equipes multiprofissionais pela auditoria de qualidade em um hospital universitário. Métodos: Estudo transversal e descritivo, realizado entre maio e julho de 2015, no centro cirúrgico de um hospital público e universitário. Foram acompanhadas cirurgias aleatórias, onde a dinâmica de aplicação do checklist pela equipe multiprofissional foi observada, comparando preenchimento do checklist conduzido com o preenchido pela equipe do estudo. Os dados foram analisados mediante distribuição, frequência relativa e percentual. Resultados: Na adesão do checklist, em 57% das cirurgias acompanhadas a identificação dos pacientes não foi realizada, 100% das equipes não se apresentaram no time out e não confirmaram o procedimento no Sign out. Conclusão: A proposta do checklist, de despertar a equipe para as etapas simples do procedimento cirúrgico, mas que, sem as quais, o potencial para eventos adversos (EA) é muito maior, não tem sido alcançada na prática clínica. Outro aspecto fundamental se refere à melhoria da comunicação entre a equipe multiprofissional que não tem sido contemplada no processo.Descritores: Cirurgia, Lista de verificação, Segurança do PacienteIMPLEMENTATION OF SAFE SURGERY CHECKLIST IN A UNIVERSITY HOSPITALObjective: verify the implementation of safe surgery checklist in a multidisciplinary team through process of quality audit in a university hospital. Methods: Transversal and descriptive study, carried out between May and July 2015, in the surgical center of a public and university hospital. The surgeries were randomly monitored, and the dynamics of checklist filling by a multidisciplinary team was observed, comparing checklist filling performed in operating room with the one filled out by the study team. The data were analyzed by distribution, relative frequency and percentage. Results: Regarding checklist compliance, in 57% of accompanied surgeries patients identification was not performed, 100% of the staff did not introduced themselves in “time out” and not even confirmed orally the procedure in “sign out”. Conclusion: The checklist proposal of arousing staff for simple surgical procedure steps, but without which the potential for adverse events (AEs) is much larger, has not been achieved in clinical practice. Another important aspect is related to improvement of communication between multidisciplinary team which has not been contemplated in process.Descriptors: Surgery, Checklist, Patient SafetyPERCEPCIÓN DEL HOMBRE MAYOR EN RELACIÓN CON SU SEXUALIDADObjetivo: Verificar la aplicación de la lista de verificación de cirugía segura entre los equipos multidisciplinarios para la calidad de la auditoría en hospital universitario. Métodos: Estudio transversal y descriptivo, realizado entre mayo y julio de 2015, en el centro quirúrgico de un hospital público y universitario. Cirugías aleatorios se acompañan, donde se observó aplicación dinámica de la lista de verificación por parte del equipo. Los datos fueron analizados mediante distribución, frecuencia relativa y porcentual. Resultados: La adhesión de la lista de verificación, en 57% de las cirugías acompañado la identificación de los pacientes no se realizó, 100% de los equipos no se presentó em tiempo y no confirmó el procedimiento cabo em signo. Conclusión: La lista de verificación propuesta, para despertar al equipo a los sencillos pasos del procedimiento quirúrgico, pero sin la cual, potencial de eventos adversos (EA) es mucho mayor, no se ha logrado en práctica clínica. Otro aspecto importante se refiere a mejora de la comunicación entre equipo multidisciplinario que no ha sido contemplado en proceso.Descriptores: Cirurgía, Lista de Verificacíon, Seguridad del Paciente
