Aim: The most important mission of Healthcare systems is to deliver safe, efficient, and high-quality patient care. Manpower is the key pillar in achieving this goal. Studies show that newly graduated nurses do not have sufficient clinical competence to care for patients. This study aimed to explore the reasons for inadequate competence of newly graduated nurses. Method: The present study is a qualitative study. Participants in this study were 30 individuals, including nursing students, newly graduates nurses, nursing faculties, clinical nurses, nursing managers and deputies for the education of nursing schools who were selected by purposeful sampling method. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews. The data collection continued to data saturation. Data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis in MAXQDA 10 software. Results: Three main categories emerged as reasons for the inadequate clinical competency in the newly graduated nurses i.e. inefficient mechanism of student recruitment, ineffective education, and gloomy outlook for the nursing profession. Conclusion: Training qualified clinical nurses is a dynamic process that requires enrolling the appropriate individuals, preparing a suitable infrastructure to train, training them effectively, providing in-service training, and providing the necessary motivation for professional development in the health care settings.

Competency for pediatric pain management is fundamental for nurses’ responsibility in caring for pediatric patients with pain. However, effective nursing management of pain in hospitalized children continues to be a challenge more often linked to competency deficit as a consequence of unpreparedness in the pre-licensing education. Previous studies have established that nursing students exhibited lack of knowledge and poor attitudes regarding pediatric pain management, but none of the studies were done in the Rwandan context. The current study explores the pediatric pain management competencies taught to nursing students in Rwanda. An exploratory descriptive qualitative design based on face-to-face individual interviews and focus group discussions was utilized. Fourteen nurse educators and preceptors and nineteen nursing students were recruited from five study settings to explore their perspectives about pediatric pain management competencies taught to nursing students. Participants’ narratives were analysed using thematic analysis from which six main themes emerged. Participants narrated that competencies related to children pain assessment, pain medication and non-drug pain management interventions were taught to students. However, findings also revealed the challenges that impacted the teaching and learning of paediatric pain management, which need to be addressed for the improvement of pre-service training about pain management in children. The findings from the study suggested further research for a better understanding of the nature of those challenges to inform tailored strategies aimed at improving quality health care provision to children through an improved pediatric pain management education at the undergraduate level.

ملخص البحث:يحتل التدريب في حياتنا منزلة متميزة، حيث إنه يؤدي دورا مهما على مستوى الرقي والنهوض بالأمة، عبر مواكبة حركة الحياة المتناهية في السرعة، ومن أهم مناشط الحياة وأكثرها تأثيرا في الإنسان العملية التعليمية بكل عناصرها ومن مختلف زواياها، وهذا مما حدا بالباحث إلى التطرق إلى قضية واقع تدريب المعلمين أثناء الخدمة. وتناول البحث قضية الشكوى العامة من عدم توفر معلم العربية للناطقين بغيرها الجيد، وحاول الوصول إلى أسباب ذلك كي يتعامل مع القضية من منظور يساعد على التغلب عليها، فكان من بين أبرز الأسباب محافظة المقررات الدراسية التي تقدم إلى الطلاب على أشكالها وقوالبها التقليدية، وذلك فضلا عن المواد المؤهلة لتخريج معلمين، وتلك المواد تقدمها مؤسسات مختلفة، حيث لوحظ أنها تغفل مواد كثيرة تعتبر أساسية ومؤثرة في نوعية المعلم، وفي الإطار النظري لهذا الموضوع تناول الباحث مفهوم التدريب وأهميته، ثم تعرض لأساليب التدريب وسبل تقويمها، واتخذ الباحث من ذلك مدخلا للحديث عن واقع تدريب المعلمين أثناء الخدمة، وتوصل البحث إلى عدة أسباب يمكن أن يعزى إليها مضمون شكوى عدم توفر المعلم الجيد، ومن هذه الأسباب ما يعود إلى المعلم نفسه، ومنها ما يعود إلى المدربين والإدارة التربوية. ثم وضع البحث تصورا عاما لما ينبغي –من وجهة نظر الباحث-  أن يكون عليه حال التدريب حتى يؤتي ثماره. الكلمات المفتاحية: التدريب– الأساليب– الاتجاهات– التقويم– العربية للناطقين بغيرها.   Abstract:Training is an important aspect in our life. It has the role of improving the condition of a society in order to keep up with the fastly changing world around us. Among the most important aspect of human activities is the teaching and learning processes. The paper will highlight on the general dissatisfaction that was resulted from the absence of capable teachers for teaching Arabic as second language. It aims at uncovering the factors leading to this situation which are, among others: the use of out dated traditional methods, unrevised subjects and modules, neglecting some crucial subjects which focus on skill building. The most important findings indicate that the contributing factors of dissatisfaction are attributable to the teachers themselves while some are related to the trainers and to some administrative matters. Finally, a number of suggestions were presented to improve the situation from the point of view of the researcher himself.Key words: Training– Methods– Trends– Assessment– Arabic for Non Native Speakers.Abstrak:Dalam kehidupan kita latihan mempunyai kedudukan tertentu kerana ia berperanan meningkatkan mutu serta kebangkitan sesuatu umat agar seiring dengan pergerakan kehidupan yang tiada hentinya, ia adalah aktiviti kehidupan yang terpenting dan paling mempengaruhi proses pembelajaran insan dari segenap segi. Berpandukan hal inilah pengkaji ingin menyentuh tentang latihan perguruan dalam perkhidmatan.  Kajian ini mencakupi aduan tentang kekurangan tenaga pengajar bahasa Arab kepada penutur bukan berbahasa Arab yang berkualiti, di mana pengkaji cuba mengenalpasti punca permasalahan tersebut agar dapat diatasi. Di antara punca yang dikenalpasti ialah mengekalkan sukatan matapelajaran dalam bentuk yang lama, apatah lagi subjek-subjek dalam program latihan perguruan. Subjek-subjek ini ditawarkan oleh pelbagai institusi perguruan di mana turut disedari juga beberapa subjek penting dan asas menyentuh tentang karisma seorang guru telah diabaikan. Dari segi teori pula, kajian ini turut meliputi pengertian latihan dan kepentingannya, bentuk-bentuk latihan serta cara penilaiannya, di mana perkara-perkara ini menjadi pendahulu bicara tentang tajuk perbincangan, di mama pengkaji mendapati punca lain kepada permasalahan tersebut terletak di bahu tenaga pengajar itu sendiri dan terdapat yang berpunca daripada pensyarah dan pihak pentadbiran. Setelah itu, pengkaji memberikan gambaran umum tentang keadaan yang sepatutnya bagi latihan perguruan sehingga membuahkan hasil.Kata kunci: Latihan– Bentuk-Bentuk– Halatuju– Penilaian– Bahasa Arab Kepada Penutur Bukan Berbahasa Arab.

Low And Middle Income

Objective: To elucidate evidence regarding nurse educators' and preceptors' capacity to facilitate students' learning about paediatric pain management (PPM) in low- and middle-income countries(LMICs).Methods: The five-stage framework by Arksey and O'Malley guided this review. Studies published in English between January 2010 and April 2020 were searched using EBSCO Host/ ScienceDirect, CINAHL, MEDLINE, PUBMED and Scopus. Of 300 papers identified through the search strategy 27 primary research articles were retained: quantitative (n=18), qualitative (n=8) and mixed-methods (n=1).Results: Knowledge deficiency and inappropriate attitudes toward PPM, lack of autonomy in decisionmaking, scarcity of resources and cultural misconception regarding pain in children were hindering the effective PPM in LMICs. Strategies including nursing curricula review, continuous in-service training, access to resources and the leadership support are required to optimise effective PPM and improve students' facilitation for learning about PPM.Conclusion: Further research is required as a body of evidence to support the development of a framework for capacity enhancement of nurse educators and nurse preceptors who facilitate nursing students acquiring competency for PPM in LMICs.

This study examined nurses’ attitudes towards death, anxiety levels, and socio-demographic characteristics affecting their attitudes towards death. Three hundred and eighty-four nurses participated in the study. A questionnaire form, the Death Attitude Profile-Revised (DAP-R), and the Penn State Worry Questionnaire were applied to the nurses. Nurses’ attitudes towards death were positive and their level of fear of death was low. Approach acceptance was high in younger ones; the escape acceptance score was higher in single ones. The neutral acceptance score was higher in those who received training on death. A statistically significant positive correlation was found between nurses' anxiety level and escape acceptance score. There was a statistically significant positive correlation between the length of working years of nurses and the escape acceptance and approach acceptance. Nurses should be prepared for and supported on death with in-service training. It will be useful to provide these training programs to nursing students during their education process.

Communicative Effectiveness

Two methods of identifying language disordered children are examined. Traditional approaches require attention to relatively superficial morphological and surface syntactic criteria, such as, noun-verb agreement, tense marking, pluralization. More recently, however, language testers and others have turned to pragmatic criteria focussing on deeper aspects of meaning and communicative effectiveness, such as, general fluency, topic maintenance, specificity of referring terms. In this study, 54 regular K-5 teachers in two Albuquerque schools serving 1212 children were assigned on a roughly matched basis to one of two groups. Group S received in-service training using traditional surface criteria for referrals, while Group P received similar in-service training with pragmatic criteria. All referrals from both groups were reevaluated by a panel of judges following the state determined procedures for assignment to remedial programs. Teachers who were taught to use pragmatic criteria in identifying language disordered children identified significantly more children and were more often correct in their identification than teachers taught to use syntactic criteria. Both groups identified significantly fewer children as the grade level increased.

This study investigated factors that influence public school speech-language pathologists' acceptance and/or resistance to computer technology. Significant differences were found between speech-language pathologists who are frequent users of computers in the workplace and those who seldom or never use them. These differences were attributed to differences in attitudes toward computers, available funding for computers, in-service training, and physical facilities.
