Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we were required to provide nursing practice within the university. This study presents details of a substitute program of practice in adult nursing (chronic care nursing) developed to meet this challenge. The program consisted of three components: (1) training in identifying problems from limited information, (2) situation-based training (implementation of the nursing process for patients with chronic disease), and (3) training in handling unforeseen developments. It was considered that nursing students could experience and learn about nursing with patients living with chronic diseases, in a similar manner to clinical practice, through a substitute practice at the university. Results indicated that students could clarify the challenges they faced and share what they learned seamlessly, highlighting the program’s potential as a new educational method. In the future, it is necessary to analyze student learning in the substitute practice and continue to deliver educational content and methods that generate positive learning effects.

Nursing is a respect for dignity and treating every person equally. Qualifying competent and ethical nurses requires the incorporation of a professional code of ethics with clinical nursing practice. However, no study was conducted on the relationship between professional ethics and clinical nursing practice. Therefore this study aimed to determine correlation between professional ethics and pediatrics clinical practice from an achievement perspective. Accordingly, cross-sectional study design was conducted at Mizan-Tepi University using nursing students’ academic achievements at professional ethics and pediatric practice. Collected data were entered into Epi info 7. SPSS version 21.0 was used to calculate spearman’s rho correlation ( rs) and coefficient of determination ( R2) at P  < .05. A total of 316 study participants comprising of 209 (66.14%) male and 107 (33.86%) female nursing students included in the current study. Nursing students’ academic achievements at professional ethics was significantly and positively associated with achievements at pediatrics clinical practice ( rs  = 0.4-0.6), P < .001. Linear regression results revealed 25% to 26.7% coefficient determination for regular students and 18% to 22.9% for summer nursing students. To sum up, there was a significant positive association between achievements of students at professional ethics and pediatrics clinical practice. Therefore increasing students’ academic achievement in professional ethics can further improve their achievements at pediatrics clinical practice. However, academic achievement in professional ethics explained 22.35% of the variability in achievements at pediatric clinical practice. 77.65% of the variability in pediatrics clinical practice was due to other factors that deserve another study.

With the global pandemic of the coronavirus disease, virtual reality simulation (vSim) has emerged as a simulation educational method. The purpose of this study is to examine the learning effects of vSim by comparing three different educational modalities of nursing care for children with asthma. A quasi-experimental design with three different teaching methods, vSim, high-fidelity simulation (HFS), and vSim with HFS, were used in the study. The group using vSim with HFS showed the highest scores in knowledge, confidence in practice, and performance compared to groups using vSim or HFS alone. Simulation practice using vSim combined with HFS could be an effective educational method for nursing students.

Objective: To evaluate an intervention of a modified assessment process for nursing students in clinical practice and how this process was experienced by the nursing students and their supervisors.Methods: An intervention study with a descriptive approach. The data collection was conducted in two phases with a survey and follow-up group interviews. Participants were second-year nursing students and their nursing supervisors. Descriptive statistics were used for the quantitative data (survey) and qualitative content analysis for the qualitative data (tape-record and transcribed interviews). Mixed method was used to integrate all data.Findings: The survey response rate was 65% (n = 41 students) and 100% (n = 9 supervisors). Students and supervisors found the assessment tool applicable for the assessment process. Assessment through dialogue and Supportive learning environment, describe how the modified assessment process was experienced.Conclusions and implication for clinical practice: It is important that the supervisors understand the learning goals and assessment criteria and how to use the assessment tool. Clear structures based on learning goals and assessment criteria as well as their own strategies to reach their goals benefit student learning. Strategies need to be developed to facilitate the assessment process when the teachers from the university have a consulative role. The new assessment tool and changing the university teachers’ involvement can be seen as a form of professional development of the supervisors’ group as they take greater responsibility in conducting the assessment of nursing students in clinical practice.

Introduction and Objective: Human anatomy is an essential component of the undergraduate nursing curriculum for learning the specific disciplines which deal with clinical practice. Anatomical knowledge provides assurance for the practice of clinical assessment and invasive procedures of legal competence of nurses.  The aim of the study was to analyze the correlation of the content taught in the discipline Human Anatomy with the clinical practice of undergraduate nursing students in the discipline Semiology and Semiotics in Nursing and The Care Process, as well as their assurance to start it.Methods: Quantitative descriptive study with the application of an online questionnaire to 66 undergraduate nursing students at a public education institution in the interior of São Paulo. Data analysis by number of occurrences and Chi-square test.Results: There was partial agreement about the interdisciplinarity between human anatomy and disciplines of clinical nursing practice. The students agreed to be partially assured about the procedures to start the semiological practice of different devices and to perform nursing procedures. The predominance of the superficial approach to content related to the clinical practice of the disciplines Semiology and Semiotics in Nursing and The Care Process was predominant.Conclusions: The teaching of human anatomy, along the lines offered, maintains an unsatisfactory correlation with clinical practice due to the students’ experience, interfering with learning, acting in clinical teaching and professional training.

AbstractThe experience of nursing students who make mistakes during clinical practice is poorly understood. The literature identifies clinical practice mistakes as a significant issue in nursing practice and education but there is very little research on the topic. This study used a grounded theory approach to explore the experience of undergraduate nursing students who had made at least one mistake in their clinical practice. What emerged is a theory that illuminates the process of how students move through the positive and negative elements of the mistake experience the core variable that emerged from the study was “living through the mistake experience.” The mistake experience was clearly a traumatic process for nursing students and students reported feeling unprepared and lacking the capability to manage the mistake experience. A number of recommendations for nursing education are proposed.
