ObjectivesTo explore the type of education needed for nurses when dealing with aggression from patients and their families.DesignA two-phase sequential mixed-methods study.SettingThis study was conducted in Japan, with phase I from March to November 2016 and phase II in November 2018.Main outcome measuresThe challenges faced by nurses when dealing with incidents of aggression from the neutral perspective of neither nurse nor patient/family and perceptions of the educational contents developed in this study. Descriptive analyses were used to examine the data retrieved from both phases.ParticipantsPhase I entailed semistructured interviews among 11 neutral-party participants who observed aggressive incidents between nurses and patients/families. Phase II consisted of a web survey conducted among 102 nursing students and 308 nursing professionals.ResultsPhase I resulted in the identification of the following five main educational components: understanding the mechanisms of anger and aggression, maintaining self-awareness, observant listening, managing the self-impression, and communicating based on specific disease characteristics. Each component was related to improved communication through self-awareness. The results of phase II indicated that participants positively perceived these educational contents as likely to be effective for dealing with aggression from patients/families.ConclusionsThis study clarified the type of education needed for nurses when dealing with aggression based on multiple viewpoints. Specifically, neutral-party interviews revealed that communication should be improved through self-awareness. A subsequent survey among nurses and nursing students showed that the identified educational contents were positively received.

The objective of this study was to identify vulnerability to tuberculosis (TB) related to knowledge about the disease among 76 nursing students and professionals. A quantitative descriptive study was conducted using a closed questionnaire for the collection of data regarding transmission, preventive and biosafety measures, diagnosis, and prejudice regarding the disease. The SAS software version 9.1.3 was used for data analysis, with the level of significance set at 5% (p < 0.05). Nursing students and professionals showed a vulnerability to TB related to knowledge about transmission, preventive and biosafety measures, and diagnosis of the disease. With respect to transmission, vulnerability was higher among nursing professionals. The results indicate the need for investment by healthcare institutions surrounding this topic in view of the important role of nursing in the establishment of strategies for prevention and control of the disease.

Adequate management of diabetes requires professional improvement programs. This study aimed to analyze the effect of a simulation activity on the acquisition of knowledge about blood glucose monitoring and hypoglycemia management. The study employed a pre-post intervention approach and was carried out in a university hospital located in Brazil. The participants were 82 graduating nursing students and nursing professionals studying/working at the university hospital. The intervention consisted of theoretical sessions, a practical simulation about glycemic monitoring and hypoglycemia management, and the pre- and post-tests. The simulation consisted of a rubber hand mannequin that allows simulating the glucose testing. There was a significant increase in knowledge after intervention with the total number of correct answers increasing from 186 in the pre-test to 326 in the post-test (+140, p < .001). The intervention was effective in increasing the participants' knowledge about glycemic monitoring and hypoglycemia management, favoring a better nursing care for people with diabetes.

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the orders and structures of societies, particularly in the fields of medical and nursing professions. The researcher aims to understand the experiences, sense of belonging, and decision-making processes about Japanese pre-service nursing students and how the COVID-19 pandemic, social distancing, and lockdown has influenced their understanding as pre-service nursing professionals in Japan. As this study focuses on the issues of pre-service nursing students, the researcher invited forty-nine pre-service nursing students for a virtual interview due to the recommendation of social distancing. To increase the coverage of the population, the researcher employed snowball sampling to recruit participants from all over Japan. Although the COVID-19 pandemic influenced the overall performance of the medical and nursing professions, all participants showed a sense of belonging as Japanese citizens and nursing professionals due to the natural disaster of their country. More importantly, all expressed their desires and missions to upgrade and improve the overall performance of the public health system due to the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic. The results discovered that many Japanese nursing students advocated that Japan’s national development, the benefits and advantages of their country, were of a greater importance than their own personal development and goals.

Background: Clinical learning environment includes everything that surrounds students and is extremely beneficial in stimulating their critical thinking and affects their professional de­velopment via focus on clinical judgment and decision–making in the clinical setting. This study aims to assess the level of satisfaction on clinical learning environment among nursing students of selected medical colleges of Chitwan, Nepal. Methods: Descriptive, cross sectional study design was used to assess the satisfaction on clinical learning environment among nursing students of selected medical colleges of Chitwan. Standard tool (CLES + T scale) was administered among 242 nursing students. Data was entered in IBM Sta­tistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 20.0 and was further analyzed by using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. Results: Just more than half of the nursing students were highly satisfied (51.2%) with the clinical learning environment. The level of satisfaction among nursing students was found statistically sig­nificant with year of study and type of ward of latest clinical placement with p value <0.05. Conclusions: Nearly half of the students are still not highly satisfied towards their clinical learning environment, therefore improvement in its quality needs proper planning, implementation and supervision that too in government hospital settings.

Musculoskeletal disorders can be significantly disabling, particularly those related to work, when the underlying mechanisms and clinical variables are not well known and understood. Nurses usually remain in standing positions or walk for long periods, thus increasing the risk for the development of musculoskeletal disorders, particularly on the foot, such as plantar fasciitis or edema. This type of disorders is a major cause of sickness, absence from work, and also dropout ratios among nursing students, which contributes to the shortage of nursing professionals. This review will address foot disorders that arise from prolonged standing in nursing professionals and describe the main clinical parameters characterizing them, with exclusions for other health professions or disorders with other identified causes. English, French, Portuguese, and Spanish published studies from 1970 to the current year will be considered. The review will follow the JBI methodology, mainly though the PCC mnemonic, and the reporting guidelines for Scoping Reviews. The search will include main databases and relevant scientific repositories. Two independent reviewers will analyze the titles, abstracts, and full texts. A tool developed by the research team will aid in the data collection.
