Teacher Characteristic

Objective: This study aims to determine the level of perception of nursing students and teachers on the effective clinical nurse teacher characteristics and find if there is a significant difference between the level of perception of nursing students and teachers according to their demographic features. Methods: This study employed a descriptive - comparative design. Simple random sampling was undertaken and a questionnaire developed by Brown (1981) was utilized in gathering information from the participating 244 nursing students and 46 teachers as respondents. Frequency, percentage, t-test, F-test in Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 22 was used in the analysis of data.Results: Most of the participating nursing students in the study are aged 18-22-year-old, female, and unmarried while most teachers were more than 46-year-old, female, and married. Among the three indicators of effective clinical teacher characteristics, the teachers consider professional competence, relationships with the students’ most important, and personal attributes as very important while the nursing students perceived all as very important. A significant difference exists in the level of perception of both groups of respondents on different indicators. However, in certain demographic profile, specifically gender and marital status there seem to be no significant difference but it exists with age.Conclusions: Both nursing students and nurse-teachers perceived that an effective clinical teacher characteristic has a significant influence on the clinical learning course of students. The perception varies significantly with age and this would suggest that as the nurse grows older and gain more experience his/her perceptions matures.

Abstract Background: When a crisis occurs, nurses are at the forefront of providing care to patients in emergency rooms. The need for skilled nurses is increasing due to the crises and disasters that are occurring around the world. The aim of the study was to determine whether teaching clinical skills through social networks can affect nursing students’ clinical skills in crisis handling.Methods: This study was done in Iran in 2021. One hundred nursing students were selected by simple random sampling and divided into control and intervention groups. Nursing clinical skills in crisis questionnaires were used before and after intervention in two groups. Distance learning through social networks was done for a month. SPSS version 15 was used for data analysis. The significance level was 0.05.Results: There was no significant difference between the control and intervention groups before the intervention (P >0.05). The mean score of clinical skills in the control group increased from 60.82 before the study to 62.75 after the study, which was not statistically significant (P >0.05). The mean clinical skills of the intervention group increased from 58.02 before the intervention to 82.52 after the intervention, which was statistically significant (P < 0.001).Conclusions: This study showed nurses’ clinical skills are low during crises. Education through social networks can improve them and should be part of nursing education. The application of this low-cost and inexpensive method is recommended for improving clinical skills in nursing.

Vowel Lengthening

It is not enough just to describe the distribution of linguistic variants in a speech community in order to explain language variation and change in apparent time, it is important to examine what attitudes language users have towards them as well as social meanings ​​attributed to them. To date the social meaning of vowel lengthening as a relevant feature of Vilnius speech has, however, not been studied. In February–March in 2014 speaker evaluation experiment was conducted in two socially and ethnically unmarked schools with Lithuanian as the language of instruction. The schools were ranked in the middle position in the rating of city schools; all of them were located in two socially unmarked boroughs of Vilnius. The experiment aimed at determining the social meanings that vowel lengthening acquires among Vilnius city pupils. A total of 231 senior (9–10) class pupils took part in the study. The experiment has confirmed the hypothesis that vowel lengthening in Vilnius speech is not evaluated ambiguously and has more than one social meaning. It is the articulatory context, in the other words – the cluster of other pronunciation features of a speaker (or stimuli type) that is decisive in which of the meanings is actualized. It has also showed a clear hierarchization of the stimuli types which reveal natural variability of short vowel lengthening in the speech community of Vilnius: 1) Kam+GalLT, 2) Neu, 3) Kam and 4) Kam+GalSL. The study has revealed that if vowel lengthening in the stem of the word and in the inflectional ending occurs in the articulatory context of the speakers of Lithuanian origin, it is perceived as a marker of high social status, power, high professional competence of the speaker as well as representing businessman profession, a speaker who could work as a newsreader, hold leadership positions. Personal traits like „educated“, „wealthy“, „successful“, „managing“, „youthful“, „urban“ and „having a good job“ have mostly been assigned to the latter types of speakers with statistically significant difference. If vowel lengthening occurs in the articulatory context of the speakers of Slavic origin, it is recognized as Slavic and associated with low social status, linked to services and working-class occupations. In addition, all the mentioned personal traits to this type of stimuli have been assigned most rarely by the pupils. Only the stem lengthening articulatory context has been linked to the category of provinciality and this stimuli type representing speakers have been mostly considered to be suitable for service occupations.

The aim of this research is to examine the social phobia status of children who are trained three days a week in swimming activity in summer sport activities. For some children, the swimming learning process can be a source of stress in itself, sometimes even at the level of social phobia. There are thoughts and researches in the directions that the level of social phobia is minimized, especially social, cultural, reconstructive and sport activities. In this context, it is thought that knowing to what extent the swimming activity affects social phobia status will be important by families, educational institutions and sports scientists besides contributing to the literature. In quantitative research type, single group pre-test / post-test model, which is one of the weak experimental patterns, was applied with simple random sampling method. This study constitutes the universe of children between 6 and 14 years of age who enroll in the swimming activities in 8 different neighborhoods in Kahramanmaraş, where they are given free training for two months within the scope of 2017 summer sports activities. In the study, in the analysis of the data obtained as a result of the answers given to the survey statements consisting of the expressions of the Çapa Scale of Social Phobia for Children and Adolescents, percentage and frequency analyzes were included for demographic information. Binary comparisons in Pretest and Posttest Social Phobia scores were analyzed with Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test, Mann-Whitney U Test for variables in variables and Kruskal Wallis Test in multiple comparisons. In this study, in which the Social Phobia (SP) status of children participating in swimming activities was investigated, there was no statistically significant difference between the Pretest and Posttest total scores, and there was no significant difference in age, residence and family monthly income levels, although there was a significant difference in gender within the group.
