Selection Of

T he researcher, being a nursing lecturer, questioned the method of selection of learning opportunities for student nurses in two training hospitals in the Northern part of Namibia.The study therefore focused on the following objective: To identify the factors that influence the selection of learning opportunities for primary health care in hospital units. A qualitative research design utilising focus group discussions were used. The population consisted of conveniently selected lecturers, student nurses and registered nurses. The same initial question was asked in each focus group to initiate the discussions. The data were analysed according to Tesch's method.The results indicated that there is positive commitment from the lecturers and registered nurses to be involved in selecting appropriate learning opportunities. The student nurses also demonstrated a willingness to learn and to be exposed to learning opportunities in primary health care. There were however certain constraints that emerged as themes, namely: • Managerial constraints • Educational constraints Under the theme "managerial constraints" categories such as workload, nursing staff shortages and communication problems were identified. Under the theme "educational constraints" categories such as a lack of guidance, and the correlation of theory and practice emerged.Recommendations based on this research report include improvement of in-service education on managerial and educational aspects to facilitate the primary health care approach in hospitals.

Growing Population

According to Kotzé (1987:5) the numbers of student nurses showed a constant drop of 10% from 1981 until 1986, It appears that the ratio between the registered nurse and the population will severely worsen. It is therefore necessary that the educational standard of student nurses must be as high as possible to render a comprehensive service to a growing population. Computer-aided instruction can also play a role in the training of student nurses but can also help to keep student nurses as well as registered nurses in touch with the latest developments and introduce them to advanced technology like the computer.

Definition Of

Background: Health professionals must be knowledgeable and skilled in providing palliative care. This short report reviews the literature that has assessed student nurses' knowledge of palliative care. Method: The following databases were searched: CINHAL, ScienceDirect, Medline, PubMed and Google Scholar for manuscripts published from 2014 to 2020. Only six articles met the inclusion criteria and were thoroughly reviewed. Findings: Students were found to have a poor knowledge of palliative care, especially the management of a patient's symptoms and the definition of palliative care. Conclusion: Integrating palliative care education within nursing curricula is a priority, although the best method to accomplish this is yet to be established.

<p>This paper describes an educational programme interventions developed to support registered nurses during the clinical supervision of student nurses in the medical and surgical wards of a training hospital in the Oshana region, Namibia.</p><p>The programme developed contained the purpose and goals of the programme, programme objectives, programme structure, processes and approaches. The programme catered for the following themes: Managerial challenges, educational challenges and non-conducive environment as was experienced by registered nurses and student nurses in order to support them during clinical supervision. It includes the activities to address managerial challenges as identified to be affecting the clinical supervision of student nurses; this is to address educational challenges identified during clinical supervision of student nurses. Furthermore, the programme contains activities focused on providing registered nurses with knowledge and skills on clinical supervision, in order to increase their understanding and competence about the clinical supervision of student nurses. Another activity included interventions for enhancing positive interpersonal relationships and good communication skills to improve effective interactions between registered nurses and student nurses. This study made it possible for the development of an educational programme that enable the registered nurses to receive the much needed information pertaining to the clinical supervision of student nurses, and served as a guide and support tool when carrying out clinical supervision of student nurses.</p><p>In conclusion the study was justified as an original contribution to the existing body of knowledge in general health nursing science.</p>

Routine Investigations

The Nursing and Midwifery Council highlights that, at the point of qualifying, registered nurses should be able to undertake routine investigations, interpret and share the findings, as appropriate. This includes electrocardiograms. Registered nurses who act as practice assessors for student nurses need to have the skills themselves to be able to appropriately assess the student. This article investigates whether practice assessors hold the appropriate knowledge and skills to be able to undertake assessments. The understanding of the terminology ‘interpreting findings’ can be seen in different ways and this could influence nurses' skills acquisition. At what point does a nurse not require supervision and is considered competent in the skill of taking an electrocardiogram and interpretation? There is no national standard in England to agree the level at which competence is achieved. Student training in practice may vary due to the placement experiences gained throughout their training. From reviewing the literature and standards, it is suggested that registered nurses have varying standards of skills when it comes to interpreting electrocardiograms, derived from their training both as a student and as a nurse. It may also be influenced by the Registered Nurses workplace setting and whether regular and specialist electrocardiogram analysis is required. There appears to be no published evidence/information into current training provision for electrocardiogram analysis within England within a student nurses core curriculum.
