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.

This research attempted to explore the effects of divergent and convergent tasks on the successful reading of EFL students at the preparatory stage. To verify the analysis, the null hypothesis was established that states "There are no differences of statistical significance at the level of (0,05) among the mean of scores of the experimental group who study according to divergent and convergent task technique and the mean of the scores of the control group who study according to the regular method".  The experimental approach is used by designing two equivalent experimental groups of 32 students studying the technique proposed, and an 8-week (2019-2020) control group of 32 students, three classes each week using the Google Classroom Platform and Telegram. The present study utilized the platform Google Classroom (GC) and Telegram as an educational platform to assist students during their course learning process. The writing skills test was administered after checking with the experts. The results show that there are statistical differences at level (0,05) between the average of the experimental and control groups' reading skills and those of the experimental group. This difference is because the experimental group uses divergent and convergent tasks.

Abstract Background The knowledge and attitude of health care providers are important and influential factors in providing care services to the elderly and need to be considered during the training course. Simulation in geriatric nursing education can be an opportunity for learners to experience the restrictions of the elderly. The present study was conducted to determine the effect of training through simulation on the attitude and knowledge of nursing students in elderly care. Methods This study was quasi-experimental with two experimental and control groups of pre and post-test, which was conducted on 70 nursing students of the 5th semester (two groups of 35 people). For the experimental group, the elderly simulation suit was worn for two hours, which was designed by the researcher and created sensory, physical, and motor restrictions similar to the elderly for students. Before and after the study, Kogan’s attitudes toward older people scale and Palmore’s “facts on aging quiz” were completed by students. The data were analyzed using an independent t-test and paired t-test using SPSS version 16 software. Results The mean scores of students’ knowledge in the experimental and control groups had no significant difference at the beginning of the study (p < 0.05). But the mean scores of knowledge in the experimental group before and after the intervention was (9.2 ± 2.6) and (15.3 ± 3.5), respectively, and in the control group before and after the intervention was (10.4 ± 2.9) and (11.3 ± 2.6), respectively, which had a statistically significant difference (p = 0.0001). The mean scores of students’ attitudes in the experimental and control groups had no significant difference at the beginning of the study (p < 0.05). The mean scores of attitude in the experimental group before and after the intervention was (114.69 ± 8.4) and (157.31 ± 10.7), respectively and in the control group before and after the intervention was (113.34 ± 13.6) and (108.5 ± 16.6), respectively, which was significantly different (p = 0.0001). Conclusions Based on the findings, the experience of aging restrictions through simulation has improved the knowledge and attitude of nursing students towards the elderly. Nursing education requires the growth of attitudinal skills, individuals’ beliefs, and creating empathy among them, so creating simulation opportunities can assist nursing students in the educational processes.

Neck contouring is one of the most frequent reasons patients seek cervicofacial rhytidectomy. But what makes for aesthetically pleasing youthful neck? Ellenbogen and Karlin described 5 criteria in their 1980 landmark publication, including having a cervicomental angle between 105° and 120° and a visible subhyoid depression. Recent advances in neck anatomy have revealed the existence of ligamentous like structures attaching the skin and platysma to the hyoid. These have been termed the hyoplatysmal ligament (HPL) and cervicomental suspensory angle ligament by different authors. This study was undertaken to determine whether surgically reestablishing the above structures utilizing a hyoid suspension technique resulted in statistically significant changes in cervicomental contour. A retrospective chart review was performed from January 2014 to present. After December 2016, the second author began utilizing a hyoid suspension technique where the inter- and subplatysmal fat was resected and the HPL was reestablished surgically (hyoid suspension). Cases before this date served as controls if a similar neck manipulation was performed without reestablishing the HPL. In total, 104 charts were queried, of which, 21 charts fit inclusion criteria to serve as controls and 20 as the experimental group. Before and after profile pictures were then compared for differences in cervicomental angle utilizing commercially available imaging software (Canfield Mirror, Parsippany, New Jersey). An unpaired Student t test was then performed to determine whether this 2 groups differed significantly utilizing a P value of .05 to denote statistical significance. The mean difference between pre- and postoperative cervicomental angle for the control group was 17.38° with a standard deviation of 8.05°. The mean difference between pre and postoperative cervicomental angle for the experimental group was 28.75° with a standard deviation of 15.52°. The resulting 11.37° difference in cervicomental angle between the 2 groups was found to be statistically significant with a P value of .0051. Our cosmetic surgical and anatomical knowledge continues to progress. Brant first described a ligamentous structure that attaches the platysma to the hyoid. Through biomechanical testing, he noted this ligament to be one of the weakest in the face and neck. Thereafter, in 2016 Yousif et al and Le Lourn separately described similar procedures to attach the platysma to the hyoid, in effect reestablishing this ligament. Utilizing one simple surgical maneuver, the hyoid suspension reestablishes the HPL. This surgically creates an acute cervicomental angle, resulting in less platysmal displacement postoperatively, with virtually no addition to surgical time or morbidity.

Intravenous Catheterization

Anxiety is a vague concern and discomfort that a person feels about himself because of a threat to the person's value system or security pattern. It is caused by not being able to interact fully with the environment because of the lack of sensory information and the misinterpretation of the information received through emotions. Anxiety, which has an important effect in daily life, also has important effects on education life. Stress, which shows similar features with anxiety, is an important issue in education because it has potential to inhibit learning and performance. In order to increase learning outcomes and ensure critical thinking, educators should define students’ level of anxiety and minimize it. Touching is a simple skill that can be applied by educators during the clinic training without the need for a course. Positive and appropriate contacts of the educators make them feel good to the students and students think they are important. Studies show that students are anxious before skill training and anxiety reduces the success and performance of them. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of touching on anxiety and the success of students during skill training of intravenous catheterization. The research was conducted in the skill training laboratory of a nursing faculty as using the quasi-experimental method with control group through the pre and post-test between December 2016 and January 2016. The sample was constructed from the experimental group (n=65) and the control group (n=65) as 130 people and single blinding was done. The experimental group of students’ shoulders, arms or hands were touched by educators during skill training of intravenous catheterization. In the collection of the data, The Personal Information Form, The Intravenous Catheterization Skill Practice Checklist, The State-Trait Anxiety Scale and intravenous catheterization training model were used. The mean age of the experimental group was 20.36 ± 0.76 years and the mean age of the control group was 20.20 ± 0.75 years. 89.2% of the experimental group and 93.8% of the control group consisted of women. As the personality trait, 47.7% of the experimental group and 36.9% of the control group were defined themselves as calm. It was determined that the State Anxiety Scale score of the control and experiment group decreased after skill training of intravenous catheterization but there was a significant difference between the State Anxiety Scale Score of pre and post-skill training only in the experimental group. It was detected that the success of skill was higher in the experimental group.In line with these findings, it is recommended that educators should observe anxiety of the students and they should apply simple touching to students who has high pre-skill anxiety. Extended English abstract is in the end of PDF (TURKISH) file. ÖzetAnksiyete kişinin değer sistemi ya da güvenlik örüntüsüne bir tehditten dolayı yaşanan, bireyin kendine yönelik hissettiği belirsiz bir endişe ve huzursuzluk duygusudur. Duyusal eksiklik ve duygular aracılığıyla alınan bilgilerin yanlış yorumlanmasından dolayı çevreyle tam etkileşim kuramamaktan kaynaklanır. Günlük hayatta önemli etkisi olan anksiyetenin, eğitim hayatında da önemli etkileri bulunmaktadır. Anksiyete ile benzer özellikler gösteren stres, öğrenmeyi ve performansı engelleme potansiyeline sahip olduğu için eğitimde önemli bir konudur. Öğrenme çıktılarını artırmak ve kritik düşünmeyi sağlamak için eğiticiler öğrencilerin kaygı düzeyini tanımlanmalı ve en aza indirmelidir. Dokunma klinik eğitimler sırasında eğiticiler tarafından bir kursa ihtiyaç duyulmadan uygulanabilen basit bir beceridir. Eğiticilerin pozitif ve uygun teması öğrencilere kendini iyi hissettirir ve öğrenciler önemli olduklarını düşünürler.Yapılan çalışmalar öğrencilerin beceri uygulamalarından önce anksiyete yaşadığını ve anksiyetenin öğrencilerin başarı ve performansını azalttığını göstermektedir. Bu araştırma; dokunmanın intravenöz kateterizasyon beceri uygulaması sırasında öğrencilerin anksiyetesine ve uygulama başarısına etkisini belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Araştırma Aralık 2016-Ocak 2017 tarihleri arasında kontrol gruplu ön test-son test yarı deneysel model kullanılarak bir hemşirelik fakültesinin beceri laboratuvarında yürütüldü. Örneklem, uygulama grubu (n=65) ve kontrol grubundan (n=65) 130 kişi olarak oluşturuldu ve tek körleme yapıldı. Beceri uygulaması sırasında uygulama grubu öğrencilerinin omuz, kol veya eline temasta bulunuldu. Verilerin toplanmasında; Kişisel Bilgi Formu, İntravenöz Kateterizasyon Beceri Uygulama Kontrol Listesi, Durumluk–Sürekli Kaygı Ölçeği, intravenöz kateterizasyon kol maketi kullanıldı. Uygulama grubunun yaş ortalaması 20.36±0.76, kontrol grubunun yaş ortalaması 20.20±0.75’di. Uygulama grubunun %89.2’si, kontrol grubunun %93.8’i kadınlardan oluşmaktaydı. Kişilik özelliği olarak uygulama grubunun %47.7’si ve kontrol grubunun %36.9’u kendini sakin olarak tanımladı. Uygulama ve kontrol grubunun beceri eğitimi sonrası durumluk kaygı puanın azaldığı fakat sadece uygulama grubunda beceri öncesi ve sonrası kaygı puanı arasında anlamlı fark olduğu saptandı. Beceri başarısının uygulama grubunda daha yüksek olduğu tespit edildi.Bu bulgular doğrultusunda eğiticilerin, öğrencilerin anksiyetesini gözlemlemesi ve beceri öncesi anksiyetesi yüksek olan öğrencilere basit dokunma uygulanması önerilmektedir.

Abstract Background Nurses are presumably the first to see an in-hospital cardiac arrest patient. This study proposed measuring nursing students’ knowledge, self-efficacy, and skills performance in advanced life support (ALS), 6 months after training, by sending videos taken during their final skills test after the ALS training. Methods This is an experimental study using a randomised control group design. This study was conducted from June to December 2018, and the subjects of the study were 4th year students, recruited through a bulletin board at a nursing university. The participants’ knowledge, self-efficacy, and skill performance in ALS were evaluated immediately after the training, and participants were videotaped during the final skills test. Thereafter, the videos were sent to the experimental group through a mobile phone messenger application, once a month, from the third month after training. Approximately six months after training day, a follow-up test was conducted for the measured variables using a blinded method. The paired t-test and Wilcoxon signed-rank test were used to compare the two groups pre-and post-intervention. The statistical significance level was set at p < .05. Results Six months after the ALS training, knowledge scores decreased significantly in both groups (p < 0.001). Self-efficacy decreased by about 3 points from 50.55 to 47.18 in the experimental group (p = 0.089), while it decreased by 10 points in the control group, from 50.67 to 39 (p < 0.001). The skills performance decreased from 27.5 to 26.68 in the experimental group, while it decreased significantly from 27.95 to 16.9 in the control group (p < 0.001). Conclusion Self-study with videos taken during an ALS skills test helps enhance the sustainable effects of training such as knowledge, self-efficacy, and skills performance.

learning clinical reasoning skills in nursing education is a challenge for teachers and students. This study investigated the effects of a blended learning program on the acquisition of clinical reasoning skills via a blood transfusion course. The study employed a two group randomised controlled design with an experimental group (group 1, 16 students) and a control group (group 2, 16 students) recruited from a population of second-year nursing students at the Mohamed VI University of Health Sciences in Casablanca, Morocco, during the 2018–2019 academic year. The experimental group received blended instruction, while the control group received traditional classroom instruction over four sessions. One month after the experiment, a post-test was conducted with both groups using 'key-feature questions' that included four clinical situations and 30 questions. The mean scores of the two groups were compared to assess the degree of acquisition of clinical reasoning skills. The mean post-test score was significantly higher in the experimental group than the control group (the p-value of the Mann-Whitney Test is less than 0.05). Moreover, a statistically significant correlation was detected between students' clinical reasoning scores and their theoretical examination marks. These results suggest that blended learning is useful for enhancing the clinical reasoning skills of nursing students, at least in the short term. Thus, it seems appropriate to develop more blended courses and integrate this approach into nursing education programs.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to develop teaching material of electrocardiography (ECG) education for nursing students. Teaching material was designed to increase ECG knowledge and self-confidence of nursing students.Methods: A convenience sample of 72 nursing students in a university of South Korea were recruited to an experimental group (n=36) or a control group (n=36). A non-equivalent control group pretest-posttest design was employed to test effects of teach material on ECG knowledge and self-confidence of nursing students. Teaching material was developed based on analysis learners, state objectives, select media & materials, utilize media & materials, require learner participation, and evaluate & revise (ASSURE) model. ECG knowledge and self-confidence were self-reported using scales developed by authors. Pre-test and post-test data were collected before and after a three-week intervention period.Results: The ECG knowledge of the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group (t=6.86, <i>p</i><.001). And the self-confidence of the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group (t=3.07, <i>p</i>=.003).Conclusion: Teaching material developed in this study was effective in improving ECG knowledge and self-confidence of nursing students. Thus, this teaching material could be used as supplementary textbook in diverse nursing practice education such as simulation or nursing skill training.

Purpose: Study the specific application effect of multi-dimensional and three-dimensional teaching in Geriatric Nursing teaching in the context of mass entrepreneurship and innovation. Methods: Respectively select 80 2015 nursing undergraduates and 80 2014 nursing undergraduates in our school as the research object of the experimental group and the control group. In terms of Geriatric Nursing teaching, nursing students in the control group adopt traditional classroom teaching methods to carry out, while students in the experimental group adopt multi-dimensional and three-dimensional teaching in the context of mass entrepreneurship and innovation. Then observe and compare the geriatric nursing knowledge scoring as well as theory and practice assessment results in the two groups taught with different methods. Results: It's obvious that the scoring of nursing students in the experimental group is higher than those in the control group in respect of geriatric nursing knowledge, and statistical significance exists in the between-group differences (P < 0.05). The nursing students in the experimental group perform obviously better than those in the control group in terms of the results of theory, practice and comprehensive assessment as well as total score, and statistical significance exists in the between-group differences (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Implementing Geriatric Nursing teaching for higher education nursing undergraduates with multi-dimensional and three-dimensional teaching in the context of mass entrepreneurship and innovation can remarkably improve nursing students' cognitive level in geriatric nursing as well as their mastery degree of theoretical, practical and comprehensive knowledge. Thus, the multi-dimensional and three-dimensional teaching mode in the context of mass entrepreneurship and innovation makes 80 2015 nursing undergraduates in our school direct beneficiaries, which could be popularized and applied in medical colleges.
