AbstractIntroduction. The most important application of information technology in nursing is generating and maintaining patient’s electronic records. Implementing ICNP® to this can guarantee the continuity and high quality of evidence-based care.Aim. Obtaining information on nurses’ opinions on the implementation of ICNP® in clinical practice.Material and methods. The study was conducted in late 2018 and early 2019 in a group of 104 nurses of the University Clinical Centre in Gdańsk. It involved conducting a diagnostic survey.Results. Prior to the survey, 77.9% of the respondents were aware of ICNP®. The respondents who did not provide the correct answer to question about the essence of the ICNP® were mostly over 45 years of age. When it comes to 25% of subjects, they declared they were willing to use ICNP®. The vast majority considered it more convenient to maintain care records in the traditional way than with the use of ICNP®. The respondents with a master’s degree showed a higher level of acceptance for the implementation of the ICNP® to clinical practice than respondents with secondary and tertiary education.Conclusions. The nursing staff over 45 years old presented a lower level of knowledge related to the ICNP® as compared to other respondents. The reasons behind the conviction that applying ICNP® would be difficult included understaffing and lack of mobile devices such as tablets or laptops in hospital wards. It is, therefore, necessary to launch a nursing terminology training programme, equip branches with the necessary devices and comply with minimum employment standards.

Система высшего образования развивается не в изоляции. Она находится в непосредственной зависимости от школьной системы и от рынка труда. С одной стороны, образовательные результаты, полученные в университете, зависят от уровня знаний и навыков, которые получили студенты на предыдущем этапе образования, с другой стороны, ожидаемое высокое качество жизни, которое является ключевой мотивацией для поступления в вуз для большинства населения, определяется состоянием и структурой рынка труда. Именно наличие спроса на продуктивную рабочую силу определяет результативность системы высшего образования. The higher education system does not develop in isolation. It is directly dependent on the school system and the labor market. On the one hand, the educational results obtained at the University depend on the level of knowledge and skills that students received at the previous stage of education, on the other hand, the expected high quality of life, which is a key motivation for entering the University for the majority of the population, is determined by the state and structure of the labor market. It is the demand for productive labor that determines the effectiveness of the higher education system.

Professional training of students at the University should form the graduate's solid knowledge and ability to quickly master his often changing functional duties. To do this, the basic disci-plines of the engineer should be based on the fundamental disciplines of the first courses, which include, first of all, mathematics and physics. However, mathematical training of University students in the first years has become particularly difficult in recent years. It is known that today school graduates have a low level of exam scores in mathematics, which does not provide adequate assistance to successfully master not only higher mathematics at the University, but also special disciplines. In this regard, currently an urgent task is to study the levels of knowledge of special disciplines by students of technical universities, depending on the level of knowledge of mathematical disciplines. To ensure the quality of teaching mathematics at the University there are methodical systems of organization of level differentiation of training, which takes into account the initial level of pre-University training and corresponding to this level of the program of University mathematical training. However, their implementation is not very successful. The paper proposes a method of evaluation of the study of the connection of mathematical dis-ciplines with General scientific and special disciplines. Their establishment can allow to make necessary adjustments in their study for subsequent sets to the University.

In this paper, the authors report on the “Foregrounding Clinical Practice and Clinical Supervision” working group of the Canadian Counselling Psychology Conference held on October 26 to 28, 2018, at the University of Calgary. Of the 12 working group participants, nine self-identified as students and three identified as licensed practitioners (two of the practitioners also held academic positions). This group of mostly early-career professionals identified an overarching theme of building a firm foundation for their future practice. Working group members identified three important contributors: the development of a strong, multi-faceted professional identity, including issues of licensure and certification, the interplay between counselling and clinical psychology, and the place of career psychology; the importance of clinical supervision, including the perceived variable quality of supervision and the apparent shortage of practicum placements; and professional role models. The authors provide their perspectives on the issue the working group raised and offer recommendations for counsellor educators and practice leaders.

Purpose – This paper aims to explore academics’ perspectives on the quality of appraisal evidence at a Chinese university. Design/methodology/approach – An online survey with both closed items and open-ended questions was distributed among all academics at the university (n = 1,538). A total of 512 responded to the questionnaire. The closed items were initially analysed using EXCEL and SPSS; the open-ended questions were thematically analysed. Findings – The academics believed that the quality of student survey and peer observation of teaching were affected by subjectivity and the lack of understanding of appraisal. Academics also suggested that appraisals should be contextualised and the approach standardised. The study suggests the need for training that informs and engages relevant stakeholders to ensure the rigour of appraisal. Originality/value – The study raises the issue of quality assurance regarding appraisal data from the perspective of academics. It is based on the collaborative effort of academics in Australia, China and New Zealand, with the support of the management staff at the case study university. The study informs both appraisers and academics of quality assurance issues in appraisal. It also contributes to the literature, in that it initiates dialogues between communities of practices through collective questioning on the quality and mechanisms of appraisal in tertiary education.

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (anti-inflammatory) drugs, or better known as NSAIDs (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs) or NSAIDs are a group that has analgesic (pain reliever), anti-pyretic (fever) properties. to determine the level of knowledge on the use of NSAIDs as anti-pain in cases of dysmenorrhea in the University of Muhammadiyah Lamongan. The research design used in this research is descriptive, in taking the sample using the total sampling technique. Collecting data by distributing questionnaires with data analysis presented in tabular form. The results of this study indicate that of the 266 respondents, almost all respondents know about knowledge of dysmenorrhea well (83.8%). In the results of this study, there were still respondents who did not know the proper use of NSAIDs as analgesic. So in this case the role of pharmaceutical personnel is needed in providing information or education to people who consume NSAIDs, in order to achieve a quality of life for the community and avoid unwanted therapeutic responses. Keywords : NSAID ; dysmenorrhea ; analgesic

To enable pre-service teachers acquire certain teaching skills, well-planned educational programs and well-trained teachers are needed to implement them. Indeed, teacher education institutions hold a major responsibility in training qualified pre-service teachers, as it is essential for the welfare of a country and securing the quality of all educational levels from primary to tertiary education. To determine the level of teaching skills, a qualitative descriptive method was used with 96 pre-service teachers. The study adopted and modified a scale according to the needs of the study and validated by experts. The present study found that the pre-service teachers of Bukidnon State University (BukSU) generally are prepared for classroom work as revealed in the results of their internship in the laboratory school (which serves as the training ground where the education students of the University have their pre-service teaching) as well as during their off-campus experiences which consist of their roles as student interns and their ability to handle students’ participation. Qualitative research methods can be resorted in order to perform in-depth descriptive studies to investigate the differences in the teaching skills of pre-service teachers from different indicators.

AbstractContextTalking about Poverty is not obvious without examples, I would like to understand the link between Parasitology, Poverty and Prevention (the three P). I explain the three P by saying that there is four level of knowledge in Parasitology and the fourth level is the integration with other disciplines including virology with preventive measures, nutrition aspects with denutrition leading by some parasites as Ascaris, economy involving patient’s income and Poverty. As a reminder, the first level in Parasitology is the knowledge of the parasitic cycle with an emphasis on the mode of contamination, the second level is that of the implementation of technical or diagnostic means to identify the parasite in the laboratory or the bench and the third level is that of treating infected cases diagnosed in the laboratory.ObjectiveThe objective of this work is to contribute to reach the first sustainable development goal i.e. no Poverty. Specifically, this manuscript aimed to evaluate poverty with the protective measures against the harmful effects of mosquitoes that contribute to the quality of care given to patients of the University Hospital of Kinshasa (UHK).FindingsResidual mosquito capture, carried out in 31 randomly selected rooms per block and per level in hospital departments, presented the number of 1,144 female mosquitoes (845 Culex, 207 Anopheles and 62 Aedes). Overall considered, the Mean Mosquito Density (MMD) was 36.2 / mosquito per room (6.9 Anopheles / room, 29.1 Culex / room and 2.1 Aedes / room with an extreme between 0 and 144 mosquitoes / room. The lowest MMD (6.2 mosquitoes / room) was observed in Block II (clinical biology and microbiology laboratories, delivery and private hospitalization rooms) compared to other hospital blocks that had the highest MMD and statistically identical (ranging between 29.2 and 45.5 mosquitoes / room).Our observations give a good idea of Poverty inside this hospital and where to concentrate in the prevention of malaria transmission within the hospital. Regardless of the block considered, it was the ground floor with an MMD of 52.8 mosquitoes / room which were the most dangerous places compared with the first and second floors with MMD respectively 17.6 and 25.6 mosquitoes / room.ConclusionIn conclusion, the insufficiency of the UHK anti-mosquito measures was obvious. These should be applied without delay to prevent the risk of infection transmission by mosquitoes, even within the hospital, of hepatitis B virus and strains of Plasmodium falciparum, sometimes highly virulent, which may be concentrated there.LimitsWe were on the right track and this study needs more research because of its limitations: we investigate and did not find if any of the mosquitoes collected were infected; we did not investigate if the hospital had any patients with a mosquito transmitted disease in the rooms where the mosquitoes were collected.RecommendationThe recommendation is if it is not possible to eradicate parasitic diseases as malaria without eliminating poverty, then we need to eliminate them both.

The Relationship

Background.Previous research has found that sense of coherence is significantly related to aspects of health, but studies on nurse students with a salutogenic approach are limited.Objectives.To investigate (1) if nurse students’ experience of stress differs among clinical practice in nursing homes and medical/surgical wards. (2) Whether sense of coherence and stress are associated with quality of life. (3) If sense of coherence acts as a moderator in the relationship between stress and quality of life.Participants.Data were collected from 227 nurse students between January and April 2014.Methods.Questionnaires measuring stress, sense of coherence and quality of life were completed after a period of clinical practice. Linear regression analyses were used to measure associations between stress, and sense of coherence respectively, and quality of life.Results.The results showed that 33.92% of the students experienced moderate or high levels of stress, and there was significantly more stress in hospital wards compared to nursing homes (p= 0.027). Sense of coherence was positively associated with quality of life in the simple and multiple regression analyses (p< 0.01). Stress was negatively associated with quality of life in the simple regression analysis (p< 0.01), but not in the multiple analyses when sense of coherence was included. However, when we included an interaction term, stress was no longer associated with quality of life and sense of coherence appeared to be a significant moderator in the relationship between stress and quality of life (p= 0.015). Thus, a negative association was seen among students with the lowest levels of sense of coherence.Conclusion.These findings suggest that sense of coherence could be seen as a resource that nurse educators can build upon when supporting students in coping with stress.

<p>Physiotherapist is a discipline whose aim is to preserve, restore, and improve the health status of individuals with motor disturbances or at risk of developing and to improve the quality of life of people and community. The aim of this article was to determine which are the most important topics of general organic and biological chemistry courses within the physiotherapist undergraduate career at the University Bernardo O´Higgins. For this purpose we followed a model of qualitative study, applied in two different groups of people: educators of the physiotherapist career (PE) and clinical physiotherapist (CP), who were asked about the importance of topics related to chemistry courses, general, organic and biological (GOB courses). Each participant must choose a category for each topic: “important”, “relevant” or “not important” for a physiotherapist clinical activity. Results show that the more frequently topics considered as “important” in both groups were from biological chemical course: proteins and its metabolism. Secondly, none of the interviewed subjects considered any of the topics of the course of organic chemistry as “important” for the clinical activity of a physiotherapist. Thus, the aim of the study is widely fulfilled and it might be concluded that future studies are required involving a larger sample size in these and other universities that will generate results for a good curricular articulation.</p>
