This paper investigates student nurses' perceptions of the impact of using information technology (IT) on teaching and learning critical care nursing. This study was conducted at the Faculty of Nursing, Mansoura University, Egypt. The sample included 163 of fourth year Bachelor of Nursing students enrolled in a critical care nursing course during the first semester of the academic year 2007-2008. The data was collected using a questionnaire sheet that gathered information about student nurses' IT skills and use, perception of the access to and use of IT at Faculty of Nursing, perception of the impact of using IT on teaching and perception, and on the impact of using IT on learning the critical care nursing course. The findings indicate that nursing students had a positive perception on the impact of using IT on teaching and learning the critical care nursing course. Students wanted access to IT at the Faculty, and expressed their need for more training on using Internet and Microsoft PowerPoint, and for IT resources in classrooms.

Objective: The integrated nursing educational environment remains to have a crucial influence on the student achievement, behaviors, satisfaction and success. The current study aimed to explore the relationship between perceived educational environment and academic achievement among critical care student nurses.Methods: Participants of this quantitative exploratory descriptive co relational study were 64 students selected conveniently from the students enrolled in Critical Care Nursing course at spring and fall semesters 2016/2017 in King Saud Bin Abdul-Aziz University. A self-reported questionnaire titled “Student Nurses’ Educational Environment Perception (SNEEP)” developed by the researcher to explore the relationship between perceived educational environment and academic achievement among critical care student nurses.Results: Students aged between 22 to 28 years old and half of them were single, while 58% of students had grade point average (GPA) between 2 to 3.49 and most students perceived their educational environment as more positive than negative, whereas the mean of their perception score was 138.58 ± 11.44. Finally, there was no statistical significant relationship between students’ academic achievement and their both clinical and educational environment perception.Conclusions: Despite the students perceived their clinical and educational environment as more positive than negative indicating their high level of satisfaction in most of areas of critical care nursing course, the current study revealed no significant correlation between students’ clinical and educational environment perception with their GPA. This necessitates the need for ongoing evaluation of learning environment for the same course and other courses to address any further correlation factors that may hinder the learning of students with unsatisfactory academic achievement.

Background: Critical care services reflect the healthcare services they support. In many low-to-middle-income countries (LMICs), balancing a sparse workforce, resources and competing demands to fund services, is a significant challenge when providing critical care. In Zambia, critical care has evolved significantly over the past 10 years. This article explores the provision of critical care services and the review and validation of a critical care nursing course. Objectives: To review the literature relating to critical care nursing in sub-Saharan Africa to support a review and validation of the current critical care nursing course and to prepare a framework for a Bachelor of Science (BSc) in critical care nursing programme in Zambia. Results: A search of the published literature identified key themes, including a paucity of evidence, limited educational opportunities, a lack of national and international opportunities, protocols and standards, and the challenges of providing technical services. The subsequent review and validation took account of these themes. Conclusion: This project has had an impact on improving critical care nurses' knowledge and skills and provided the foundations for the BSc in critical care nursing.
