Performance evaluation is vital in the nursing field due to the large numbers of nursing students, and the necessity of skill training as an internship in the field under the supervision of the nurses. Accordingly, this study is aimed at determining the current situation and clinical performance evaluation of nursing students. This is descriptive-analytical research. The study sample contains all nursing students of 7th and 8th semesters with an internship in the field (n=145), who participated in the study by personal consent. Nursing Clinical Performance Evaluation Checklist made by Esmaeili et al. (2013) was used as a research instrument. The questionnaire contains 28 items in 3 domains of the nursing process (12 items), professionalism (9 items), and ethical principles (7 items). The face and content validity of the instrument was confirmed, and the reliability was measured using internal consistency by Cronbach's Alpha (0.92). For the data analysis, SPSS-20 was used. Descriptive statistics were used to describe the data. The results showed that the mean value and standard deviation of performance evaluation of students of 7th and 8th semesters of nursing are obtained at 5±2.03, which is in average level. The highest mean value of performance evaluation was associated with the ethical principles of students (6±2.3), and the lowest mean value was associated with the range of the nursing process (5±2). The mean value of professionalism was 6±2.1. The results obtained from the study showed that the 7th and 8th-semester nursing students were at an average level in terms of performance evaluation.

Wound dressing is a skill which must be able to be performed by all nurses. If the practical ability of a nurse is weak, it will affect the quality of patient care. The objective of this research is to study the effectiveness of the latex wound model for wound dressing training on wound dressing skills of the nursing student. The latex wound model is a device used in practice which is made from rubber. The samples are the 60 second-year nursing students. Simple random sampling was applied in the selection of samples to be an experimental group and a control group for 30 persons per group. The latex wound model was provided to the experimental group for wound dressing skill training at the dormitory for a seven day period. A personal data questionnaire, wet dressing skill evaluation form, and dry dressing skill evaluation form were used for data collection. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test and Mann-Whitney U Test. The results indicated that: 1) the mean score of wet dressing skill and dry dressing skill after the intervention were significantly higher than before the intervention (p < .05); 2) the mean score of wet dressing skill and dry dressing skill of the experimental group were higher than that of the control group, who was given the explanation of research procedures and the use of latex wound model, at statistical significance (p < .05). The findings imply that the use of the latex wound model for wound dressing training could enhance the wound dressing practical skill of the nursing students.

Introduction Errors are inevitable in medical practice and this issue has attracted the attention of healthcare systems worldwide. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to pay attention in educational systems. The present study aimed to investigate the frequency and cause of nursing students’ errors. Methods This descriptive study conducted based on a cross-sectional design. The researcher provided nursing students with a questionnaire. The participants were selected through a purposive sampling method. Eventually, the collected data were analyzed by SPSS17. Results The mean value of errors in students was 32.83 ± 28.5 and the prevalence rate of the errors ranged from 0 to 175. In total, 2922 errors were reported by the students, the most frequent of which were wearing the same pair of gloves for the care of more than one patient (2.61 ± 2.83), negligence to wash the hands (2.41 ± 2.95) and clean the thermometer before utilization (2.19 ± 4.68). Moreover, errors in oxygen therapy (0.69 ± 1.03) and medication (0.87) obtained the lowest frequency. Furthermore, most of the students’ errors were due to not having enough knowledge about medicines (2.1 ± 7.4), lack of appropriate equipment (2.6 ± 1.7), and poor clinical skills (2.1 ± 5.6). Discussion and conclusion: The most frequent nursing students’ errors are related to hand hygiene and personal protection. In addition, the lack of enough skills and appropriate equipment are prevalent causes of nursing students’ errors. Authorities in this field should attend to these errors in nursing education, clinical practice, and nursing studies in order to promote this profession in all of these three dimensions.

Abstract OBJECTIVE To investigate the body posture of nursing students before and after clinical practice. METHOD The study was developed in two stages. Initially the body posture of students of the 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 8th periods were assessed through photogrammetry. All images were analyzed in a random and masked manner with CorporisPro® 3.1.3 software. Three evaluations were performed for each angle and then the mean value was calculated. Two years later, when the 4th period students had developed their clinical internships, their body posture was again evaluated. RESULTS The total sample consisted of 112 students. Comparison of their posture with the normality pattern showed that all the angles presented significant differences (p< 0.00), except for the angle of the Thales triangle. Reassessment of these students evidenced significant differences in the angles of the acromioclavicular joint (p=0.03), knee flexion (p< 0.00) and in the tibiotarsal angle (p< 0.00). CONCLUSION All the students presented alterations when compared to the normality values. The segments that presented significant differences between before and after practice were the acromioclavicular angle, knee flexion, and tibiotarsal angle; the latter two were in the rolling position.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the mode of education, causing universities to shift from face-to-face to online delivery mode for offering various courses and programs. Thus, it is essential to focus on the curriculum content to tackle the challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and provide methods to effectively educate nursing students in nursing practice. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the clinical effectiveness of virtual nursing process (NP) education in undergraduate nursing students during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: This educational evaluation study with a quasi-experimental longitudinal design was applied in four educational steps over six months for first-year undergraduate nursing students (n = 30) using Iran's national learning virtual environment. Results: The paired t-test results showed a significant difference in the mean and overall scores of nursing diagnosis and nursing outcomes/goals before and after the virtual intervention (P < 0.001). Six months after virtual education, the students registered for the ‘clinical nursing process (CNP) unit in the third semester. In the final step of the study, the overall mean score of the students' nursing care plan was 16.59 ± 2.31, which was higher than the mean score, meaning virtual NP education was effective in a clinical setting. Conclusions: Virtual mode of teaching can be effective for theoretical and CNP education.

Background: Preparedness education for disasters is important because nurses must adapt to any conditions. But the phenomenon shows that not many nurses have the readiness and qualified experience in disaster relief efforts. The right step in improving the ability of nurses is to provide disaster education early on to nursing students. Purpose: This study aims to determine the effect of disaster simulation methods on disaster management knowledge and skills in students at STIKes Majapahit Mojokerto. Methods: The design of this study was a pre-experiment with one group post-test only design. The sample of this research was all 7th-semester students of the Nursing Undergraduate Study Program at STIKes Majapahit Mojokerto with 21 respondents. The independent variable is the intervention of the disaster simulation method and the dependent variable is the knowledge and skills of disaster management. This study used a measuring tool in the form of a questionnaire sheet that was adopted and modified from the DPET (Disaster Preparedness Evaluation Tool) questionnaire. Analysis of the data in this study used the analysis of the mean. Results: The study found that the mean value of disaster management knowledge and skills were at 4.50 (SD: 1.12) and 4.29 (SD: 1.04). The mean value is included in the moderate category. This disaster simulation method provides the opportunity and experience for students to be able to directly apply the theories obtained in class to situations that are made as closely as possible with disaster conditions. Conclusion: The results of this study are expected to be a reference in the development of more attractive and interesting learning methods on the topic of disaster management so that in the long run it can improve the ability of nurses in their roles when disasters occur.
