There is consensus that supporting fathers' involvement in their children's care is essential and that nurses can play an important role, facilitating this process. There is little evidence about how nurses' education as family nurses enable them to work with fathers. This study aimed to explore undergraduate nursing students' perceptions of their experience with fathers during family nursing clinical practicum. An exploratory descriptive qualitative study allowed twelve nursing students to participate in a one-hour interview, at a university of Central Canada. The critical incident technique was used for data collection and analysis was done with N Vivo7. Four themes reflected students' experiences: Experiencing critical events with fathers; Perceiving fathers and father involvement as important; Building a relationship with fathers and Reflecting upon formal education and clinical practicum. Family nurses need to revisit their attitudes towards fathers and make space for this important member of the family in health care situations.

Face To Face

In Hong Kong, males constituted only about 10.2% of the nursing workforce in 2010. The learning experiences of male nursing students in Hong Kong during their clinical practicum have rarely been explored. If these students cannot maintain their psychological well-being and psychological health in formal education and clinical placements, then their physical health will also suffer. This ethnographic qualitative study gave male nursing students in Hong Kong a chance to voice their experiences during their clinical practicum. Selected through snowball sampling, 18 male nursing students from a local university participated in individual face-to-face semistructured interviews. The data were processed with content analysis. The findings indicated that male students not only received more support and understanding from male rather than female members of staff but endured a certain amount of oppression while working in female wards. According to the students’ comments on nursing culture, the work climate of male nursing students could be improved by reorganizing the clinical placements and providing extra support to male nursing students.

Eol Care

Abstract Knowledge of end-of-life (EOL) care and being able to make the appropriate decisions for patients who are dying is important for nursing students, who will soon play a critical role in EOL decision-making among patients and their caregivers. Accordingly, the purpose of this study was to examine the level of knowledge of EOL care, life-sustaining treatment, and advance directives among nursing students in South Korea. This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted from December 2017 to February 2018. Data were collected from 220 undergraduate nursing students and analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-tests, one-way ANOVA, and a post hoc test with the SPSS 19.0 program. The score for knowledge of EOL care was 7.8 out of 11 points, for knowledge of life-sustaining treatment was 4.6 out of 6 points, and for knowledge of advance directives was 7.0 out of 9 points. There were significant differences in knowledge of EOL care scores by year of study, experiences in clinical practicum education, and experiences of caring for dying patients. Knowledge of life-sustaining treatment significantly differed by year of study, experiences in clinical practicum education, experiences of caring for and observing dying patients during clinical practicum education, and perceived self-rated health. There were significant differences in knowledge of advance directive scores by year of study, satisfaction with nursing major, experiences in clinical practicum education, and experiences of caring for and observing dying patients during clinical practicum education. Further studies should develop educational intervention programs that improve knowledge of EOL care, life-sustaining treatment, and advance directives.

OBJECTIVE: understand the everyday and the imaginary of Nursing students in their knowledge socialization process through the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) strategy.METHOD: Action Research, involving 86 students from the second year of an undergraduate Nursing program in Spain. A Critical Incident Questionnaire and Group interview were used. Thematic/categorical analysis, triangulation of researchers, subjects and techniques.RESULTS: the students signal the need to have a view from within, reinforcing the criticism against the schematic dualism; PBL allows one to learn how to be with the other, with his mechanical and organic solidarity; the feeling together, with its emphasis on learning to work in group and wanting to be close to the person taking care.CONCLUSIONS: The great contradictions the protagonists of the process, that is, the students experience seem to express that group learning is not a form of gaining knowledge, as it makes them lose time to study. The daily, the execution time and the imaginary of how learning should be do not seem to have an intersection point in the use of Problem-Based Learning. The importance of focusing on the daily and the imaginary should be reinforced when we consider nursing education.
