And Performance

Learning practical nursing skills is an important part of the baccalaureate in nursing. However, many newly qualified nurses lack practical skill proficiency required to ensure safe patient care. The invasive skill peripheral vein cannulation (PVC) is particularly challenging to learn and perform. This study explored conditions influencing nursing students’ learning and performance of the technical implementation of a PVC during their clinical placement period. A qualitative and descriptive case study design with two students in Norway practicing PVC during their clinical placement was conducted. One student who mastered the vein cannulation was compared with one student who did not. Data were collected in late 2012 using multiple data sources: semistructured interviews, ad hoc conversations, and video recordings. Video recordings of the two students’ cannula implementations were used to help clarify and validate the descriptions and to identify gaps between what students said and what they did. Thematic analysis of the transcribed text data enabled identifying themes that influenced skill performance. There were two overall themes: individual and contextual conditions influencing the technical implementation of a peripheral vein cannula. These findings were evaluated in terms of Benner’s work on scientific and practical knowledge, defined as “knowing that” and “knowing how.”

Deep Approach To Learning

ABSTRACTBackground: Many newly qualified nurses lack competence in practical nursing skills. Peripheral vein cannulation is particularly challenging to learn and perform. Skill learning is often developed from a reproduction and memorizing of knowledge and guidelines. Learning peripheral vein cannulation associated with successful placement require a more thorough and deeper approach to learning.Framework: Marton and Saljö’s ways of knowing, a surface and a deep approach to learning can be used during peripheral vein cannulation learning to guide development and competence in this practical nursing skill.Aim: The aim of this theoretical article was to provide knowledge and understanding about two approaches to skill learning, a surface and a deep, and how they can contribute to learning of peripheral vein cannulation.Conclusion: Nursing students learning of peripheral vein cannulation influence pedagogy choice by supervisors. Contextual factors, such as supervisors, influences learning opportunities and development of PVC competence.Key words: vein cannulation, nursing education, learning, surface approach to learning, deep approach to learning.

Source Of Information

This study focuses on nursing students' internships and how the students are handling the tension created by expectations and dilemmas when using medical records (MRs) in practice. The overall aim of this study is to develop knowledge about what is required by nursing students in order to coordinate and sustain knowledge through the use of MRs. The theoretical approach to learning that has been adopted implies that learning takes place in social activities, and empirically this means that the study of learning and professional knowledge is a matter of studying activities where, for example, technologies are put into practical use, where experience and knowledge are brought to life. The data consists of observations of five nursing students during their second year in nursing school, interviews and ten video-recordings from shift reports. The result shows that nursing students regularly use MRs as a source of information and that they are struggling with transforming that information into action-oriented knowledge. The conclusion is that information systems such as MRs need to be understood and defined by teachers as materials and devices created or adapted to solving practical problems, and should be treated thereafter. Providers of education need to take into account the different types of intellectual or practical knowledge that professionals like nurses are expected to have, where the use of technology cannot be separated from, but need to be integrated into other aspects of knowledge.

Improve Service Delivery

Knowledge can play an important role in ascertaining an organization’s competitive edge if the knowledge of employees is nurtured and utilized as an asset with a potential to improve service delivery. The study focused on knowledge sharing at the Thomas Mofolo Library in Lesotho to determine if knowledge sharing was being used to improve service delivery at the Library. A case study design that triangulated interviews and questionnaires was used in this study. Quantitative data was processed using software packages. Data from the interviews was analyzed through content analysis based on the objectives of the study. This study established that staff recognized the need to share knowledge. However, knowledge sharing occurred on an ad hoc basis. There was a limited use of technology-based and human-based mechanisms of sharing knowledge. The study suggests practical knowledge-sharing practices that may contribute to improved service delivery in a library setup. As a case study, study may also contribute to the development of theory about the phenomenon.

Purpose: This study investigated factors that influence psychiatric clinical learning for diploma nursing students in western Kenya. Methodology: Cross-sectional research design was used with both qualitative and quantitative approaches in data collection. Study participants consisted of diploma nursing students on psychiatric clinical placement. Ten institutions that place their students at Kakamega County Referral Hospital for psychiatric experience were sampled. A total of 178 students, 10 lecturers and 3 psychiatric nurses participated in the study. Qualitative data was collected using interview guides; while quantitative data was collected using structured questionnaires. Descriptive statistics were used to analyse quantitative data while qualitative data was analysed thematically. The relationship between variables was set at a statistical significance of p-value < 0.05. Quantitative data was coded and entered the Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 25.0. Continuous variables were summarized using the Odds Ratio to measure the association between variables and presented in tables and figures to provide a pictorial description of the sample. Findings: The results showed that most students were theoretically prepared to participate in psychiatric clinical learning (67.8% - OR: 1.4: 95% p=0.3). Also, it was supported by the students having a positive attitude (66.1% - OR: 1.2; p=0.5) and being motivated (64.5% - OR: 1.5; p=0.2) towards clinical placement.  However, according to key informants’ findings, most students were not well prepared in practical skills for clinical placement at the psychiatric unit, which was due to inadequate or lack of simulative laboratory for practice at the college level. Nursing students were well prepared theoretically to engage in psychiatric clinical learning placement at Kakamega County Referral Hospital. It also, established that positive attitude and motivation from the nursing students towards clinical placement at the psychiatric unit promoted clinical learning experience and performance thereafter. However, most of the psychiatric nursing students were not well prepared with practical skills to handle mentally-ill patients Conclusion: This study revealed that Kenya Registered Community Health Nurse diploma students were well prepared theoretically to engage in psychiatric clinical learning placement. Recommendation: Medical colleges in Kenya should emphasise skill-based training on human anatomy and behaviour through simulation. Trainers should be required to lead the nursing students through skill-based training. Medical college management should make available practical based resources to trainers and students to promote a skill-based learning approach. Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy Practical skills should be given priority at the college level when preparing students for clinical placement for a holistic clinical learning experience. Positive attitude and motivation from the nursing students towards clinical placement at the psychiatric unit promoted clinical learning experience and performance thereafter.

Event Based

The growth of the event sector is underpinned by the demand of organizing a business event.  Thus, it leads to an increase in economic and social impact. However, the problems from the growth of this sector potentially results from the use of several event materials, transportation and infrastructure development.  Organizing a green event is seen as one of the strategies to reduce the environmental impact.  Therefore, the aim of this paper is to explore the issues involved throughout the process of greening an event by applying Mair and Jago Model.  Semi-structured interviews were conducted with event managers from six Malaysia business event companies that encourage green practices during their event.  Findings suggest that impact, initiative, support and performance motivates event organizers in organizing a green event.  It has also been found that knowledge, resources and behaviour are the barriers faced by event organizers throughout the process of organizing a green event.  Based on the findings it appears that two important factors have emerged from the data collection and analysis that showed a deviation from the Mair and Jago Model, namely “impact” for the motivation element and “support” for the barrier element.  The main limitation of this study was the scope of the study; as it only focuses on business events.  However, as the main purpose of this study is to explore the issues of organizing a green event, it has been found that there are other issues need to be explored in other contexts and geographical area.  Apart from this, as this is a case study, it can only replicate according to the circumstances of this case study. However, this study can be generalized in terms of the theory that has emerged from it.  It is suggested that further research should explore more issues in other contexts and geographical areas.
