Students Attitudes

The unprecedented emergence of COVID-19 has disrupted education and has led to the rise of e-learning. The shift from the traditional delivery of instruction to online learning brings about varying perceptions that necessitates attention and exploration. This study examined nursing students’ attitudes towards e-learning in two selected nursing schools in the Philippines. This study used a descriptive cross-sectional design with 111 nursing students in a public and a private nursing school as study participants. The data were collected via an online survey tool and were analysed using the Mann-Whitney U test and the Kruskal-Wallis H test. The results indicated that most nursing students had intermediate computer competency (74.8%) and somewhat stable internet connection (66.7%). They generally had negative (40.5%) and ambivalent attitudes (30.6%) towards e-learning. The nursing students considered e-learning to be impersonal and to lack feeling (80.18%) and that it results in less student–teacher interaction (75.66%). There were no significant differences (p > .05) in the e-learning attitude according to the type of school, gender, ownership of a computer, level of computer competency, stability connection and internet usage. Although not statistically significant, those students with stable internet connections appear to have a better attitude towards e-learning. Ambivalence and negative attitudes seem to dominate nursing students’ attitudes towards e-learning in the times of the COVID-19 pandemic. Nursing schools must rectify the negative attitudes of students towards e-learning and must take measures to improve students’ experiences in the virtual learning environment to ensure that effective learning is never compromised amid the health crisis.

The Right

The migrant population has increased in recent years and, as a result, so has cultural diversity. Universities are incorporating specific modules addressing cultural diversity. However, the native population has negative attitudes towards immigrants, as they believe that immigrants receive more social benefits and abuse healthcare services. Nurses may have these attitudes too, which may affect the way they treat patients. The objective of this study was to determine nursing students’ attitudes towards the rights of the migrant population. This is a descriptive ex post facto study using a cross-sectional design, with 821 nursing students in Melilla, Ceuta, and Almeria, Spain. An anonymous questionnaire was used for data collection. Students recognize the same rights for both the immigrant and native populations. More than 80% of the sample upholds the right of undocumented immigrants and their families to access publicly funded healthcare. Attitudes were more positive among students with a Berber background and first-year students. Students approved of the right of immigrants and their families to healthcare and education. The students’ negative attitudes towards the social rights of immigrants need to be addressed with intercultural training to reduce their prejudices as future professionals in a multicultural society.

Introduction: Training and education on health literacy must start in the undergraduate nursing program. While nursing schools include health education courses and provide opportunities for nursing students to give healthcare information to individuals in various healthcare settings, there is a dearth of empirical evidence on health literacy in the Philippines. The purpose of this study was to examine the health literacy knowledge and experience of senior nursing students in a College of Nursing in Iloilo City, Philippines. Methods: This study utilized a descriptive cross-sectional research design with 160 senior nursing students as participants. Data were gathered using Cormier's (2006) Health Literacy Knowledge and Experience Survey (HL-KES) questionnaire. Descriptive statistical tools, t-test, ANOVA and Pearson’s r were used to analyze the data. Results: Results revealed that majority of senior nursing students had limited health literacy knowledge (M=13.19) and had moderate health literacy experience (M=2.50). No significant differences were found in the knowledge and experience according to sex (p > .05) as well in grade in Health Education course (p > .05). Knowledge of health literacy was not significantly related to health literacy experience (p > .05). Conclusions: Health literacy must be given greater emphasis in the undergraduate nursing curriculum. Nursing schools must pay more attention to devising measures in improving nursing students' health literacy competencies.

Through the inclusion of advertisements onto VLEs, HEIs have the potential of generating additional revenue through the use of the virtual learning environments (Ogba et al., 2012:64). As HEIs globally and in South Africa particularly, begin to investigate measures and ways in which they can increase revenue and decrease costs, the VLEs already implemented in most HEIs may be the key (Browne, 2010:17). By incorporating advertisements onto the VLEs of HEIs, HEIs have an opportunity to reduce the significant financial costs associated with implementing, using and maintaining their chosen VLEs, without decreasing the value of the service provided, which could provide a source of long-term sustainable revenue for HEIs. Although integrating advertisements onto a VLE is advisable due to the financial implications, there is a scarcity in research on how the users of the VLEs, mainly students, will respond to the presence of advertisements on these VLEs (Ogba et al., 2012:64).

Although numbers of older people are increasing, nursing students have negative attitudes towards older people and do not plan to care for them following graduation. Multiple strategies have been implemented to reverse students' attitudes with mixed results. The purpose of this pilot quasi-experimental study was to test a Creative-Bonding Intervention (CBI) with students implementing art activities with older people to promote students' willingness to take care of them. Using a self-transcendence conceptual framework, control () and experimental () student groups were pre- and post-tested on attitudes toward older people, self-transcendence, and willingness to serve. The CBI improved attitudes towards older people with negative attitudes significantly changed () but with no significant differences on self-transcendence and willingness to serve. However, willingness to serve results approached significance (). The willingness measure (one question) should be expanded. Curricula changes that incorporate creative activities such as the CBI with larger and equal numbers in student groups and longitudinal follow up to determine long-term results after graduation are suggested.

Background and objective: Caring for a growing aging population presents a challenge in contemporary health care. This study aims to identify factors associated with nursing student’s career choice in older adult care and predictors of attitudes toward older adults. Such information is critical to inform effective gerontological nursing education.Methods: Undergraduate nursing students (N = 411) from three nursing schools in California participated in a cross-sectional, web-based survey.Results: In covariate-adjusted analyses, students who had prior experiences taking gerontology-related courses, working with older adults, living with older adults, being confident in providing older adults care, and having lower negative attitudes toward older adults were more likely to consider a future career in gerontological nursing. Students’ confidence in older adult care was negatively correlated with negative attitudes towards older adults.Conclusions: To increase students’ career choice in gerontology, nursing schools should provide more gerontology content in nursing curricula and explore avenues to increase student confidence in older adult care.

The COVID-19 outbreak situation brought into focus not only the safety but also the mental wellbeing of nursing students. At present, the level of fear of COVID-19 and associated factors among nursing students in the Philippines is not well understood. This cross-sectional online survey determined the relationship between Internet use and eHealth literacy with fear of COVID-19. One thousand three hundred and sixty-seven (n=1,367) answered an online survey using the adopted eHealth Literacy Scale (eHEALS), and Fear of COVID-19 Scale (FCV-19S) administered from May 1 to 15, 2020. Descriptive statistics, tests for differences, and correlational analysis were performed. Results indicated that the composite score of the FCV-19S was 3.65, indicating moderate to high levels of fear. Fear of COVID-19 significantly differed based on sex, year level, and location. A significant inverse relationship was found between the average daily use of the Internet and fear of COVID-19. On the other hand, no significant association was noted between eHealth literacy and fear of COVID-19. The first wave of the COVID-19 outbreak has resulted in a far-reaching impact on nursing students' psychological wellbeing. This study highlights the value of the Internet and its use during the outbreak may not always lead to higher fear related to COVID-19. Nursing schools may need to create strategies to promote regulated and responsible Internet use, address students' mental health concerns and develop interventions to respond proactively to mitigate or reduce fear among nursing students during the pandemic.

Introduction: Gen Z has started to enter the portals of nursing classrooms. They are technology and socially-savvy consumers who grew up in the world of internet and smartphones. However, little is known about this generation, particularly among nursing students and how they use Facebook for academic purposes. The purpose of this study was to determine nursing students’ usage, perception, and satisfaction with Facebook for educational purposes Methods:A descriptive, cross-sectional research design was used. A total of 113 conveniently chosen nursing students in a Nursing College in the Philippines participated in the survey. Data were collected using an adopted questionnaire administered via online survey. Descriptive and inferential statistical tools were used to analyze the data. Results: Results indicated that majority of nursing students moderately (M=3.58) use Facebook for educational purposes to communicate, collaborate, and share academic or learning materials. They generallyhad a good perception of (M=4.36) and were highly satisfied (Mean=3.95) with using Facebook for educational purposes. The main challenge reported by 81.42% of nursing students in the use of Facebook was distraction from other Facebook contents. There was a significant positive relationship between usage and perception (p=.000) likewise between satisfaction and recommendation in the use of Facebook for educational purposes (p=.000). Conclusions:While Facebook showcases promising potential as a learning tool, challenges associated with its use in nursingeducation must be properly addressed. Careful consideration and thoughtful planning are necessary for nursing schools to maximize the advantages of Facebook as a supplemental tool for learning.

It is well known that in an era of emerging use of ICT in nursing education and health care it is important to have knowledge of the attitudes towards ICT within the profession. However, nursing students and nurses have been notoriously reluctant to embrace/implement ICT in their work and studies.This paper focuses on the construction of ICT-habitus amongst bachelor nursing students displayed by four positions of attitudes that describe the ICT-habitus of the group of nursing students included [under consideration] in the study. Quotes from the students are used to support and illustrate the findings. The methodical approach was based on Pierre Bourdieu’s multi-faceted data collection approach and Steiner Kvale’s technical guidelines for interviewing were used for conducting focus group interviews.In order to carry out the construction a mapping of ICT implementation in the Danish primary and secondary education and nursing education from 1970 – 2001 was undertaken. A questionnaire concerning attitudes towards ICT in Healthcare was conducted amongst first year students and focus group interviews were completed. A bibliography and other sources has been included. These datasets made it possible to construct the field of ICT in nursing education and +to construct nursing students' ICT habitus and ICT capital, which was were categorized in four descriptive positions, called "The endorser", "The sceptic", "The adversary" and "The critical".These positions can be used for developing strategies for implementing ICT and development of e-learning in educational and clinical settings for nursing students, thereby contributing with new knowledge and understanding of the ICT-based learning context and the processes within.

Expected Outcomes

OBJECTIVES/SPECIFIC AIMS: The proposed pilot study seek to enhance the network of CTSAs at Rockefeller University, NYU, ISMMS, and other community members to support translational workforce development of clinical research nurses and establish a standardized nurse-specific training curriculum in GCP for use within the CTSA network, in other research centers, and in nursing school curricula. This will be coupled with a rigorous evaluation study to test the impact of the training and a comprehensive dissemination plan to make the training available to all nurses and nursing students via modern e-learning method. Aim 1. To create an integrated network of local CTSAs and community partners to develop, validate, and refine a pilot e-learning GCP educational and training program and content and outcomes dissemination plan. It is vital to integrate the efforts of CTSA leaders, community partners, and nursing educators to develop a pilot e-learning nurse workforce training curriculum and the associated evaluation measures and assessment plan. Delphi methods will be employed, coupled with rigorous assessment of face validity, content validity, and item reliability. The resulting educational training program will then be used for an e-learning educational intervention study in CTSAs, other sites, and nursing schools. Aim 2. To test the effect of the pilot GCP education and evaluation program for practicing clinical research nurses (CRNs) within the collaborating CTSAs and community partners, we will perform a randomized controlled trial using a Solomon 4 group design. For the student nurse population, we will develop a randomized control trial using a Solomon 4 group design blocked on course section. As this is a pilot study, descriptive statistics and confidence intervals around parameter estimates will be constructed. In addition, inferential statistics will be calculated on primary outcome of interest (change scores in knowledge of GCP) and measures of heterogeneity of data, patterns of missing data, and reliability of evaluative tools will be analyzed. Aim 3. To implement a dissemination plan to reach both nurses practicing the CRN specialty within CTSAs and other community settings. We will disseminate the program to other CTSAs through the CTSA network communication resources. To broaden the reach to a population of nurses and student nurses with limited prior education or training in nurse-specific GCP competencies, but who provide care to research participants in nontraditional research settings, we will craft a novel set of dissemination methods, including the CITI Program electronic platform that can be accessed by nurses and nursing students across settings. In addition, dissemination will be at nursing education meetings and in nursing journals.METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: There are several components to this pilot program. The component that includes a research strategy is the testing of the effectiveness of the training and educational interventions on GCP knowledge and efficacy. Study cohort: Recruitment of study subjects will be in coordination with 3 CTSA collaborators and community partners for 2 samples: (1) nurses who provide care to clinical research participants across a variety of settings (health care systems, research hospitals, and care provider networks) and who are already trained according to current standard in GCP, (2) nursing students from the collaborative network of the 3 CTSAs, NYU School of Nursing has agreed to pilot test the introductory student module. The methodological approach will be a random assignment control trial Solomon 4 group design for practicing CRNs within the collaborating CTSAs and community partners. For student nurse population, the methodological approach will be a randomized-control trial Solomon 4 group design blocked on course section. Survey measures of CRN GCP knowledge and efficacy will be obtained pre and post educational intervention. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Aim 1. Expected outcomes are pilot e-learning nurse workforce training modules curriculum, and evaluation measures and plan appropriate for CTSAs, community sites, and nursing schools. Specifically, 14 modules (averaging 30 minutes each) for practicing CRNs, and one 45 minute module for nursing students. The significance of these findings will provide a framework for the e-learning educational intervention study. CITI Program is enthusiastic about the module development and refinement and will provide direction for consistency in formatting with current CITI Program modules, set-up of learner groups for comparison, and evaluative measures such as completion data and scoring. Aim 2. Expected outcomes are an effective pilot educational intervention for practicing nurses and students and valid and reliable evaluation tools and plan that can be generalized to the larger CRN and nursing community. Aim 3. Expected outcomes are an enhanced CTSA dissemination plan that includes non-CTSA resources and reaches non-CTSA employed nurses and nursing students. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: The expected outcomes of this pilot study are: (1) an enduring GCP education that can be continually updated and training structure for CRNs, and nurses and nursing students throughout the United States; (2) a reproducible effective standardized basic nurse-specific GCP curriculum for dissemination; (3) assessment tools to evaluate programmatic success, nurse and nursing student knowledge and efficacy on nurse-specific GCP; (4) and a CTSA dissemination plan that to reach non-CTSA nurses and nursing students. Our ultimate goal is the development of a translational workforce educated and competent in GCP at CTSA sites, at non-CTSA sites, and in nursing schools so as to improve the quality of clinical research.
