Aim: To investigate nursing students' konwledge, attitudes and willingness to receive the COVID-19 vaccine, and the influencing factors. Background: Vaccination is one of the effective measures to prevent COVID-19, but the vaccination acceptance varies across countries and populations. As reserve nurses, nursing students have both the professionalism of medical personnel and the special characteristics of school students, their attitudes, knowledge, and willingness to receive the COVID-19 vaccine may greatly affect the vaccine acceptance of the population now and in the future. But little research has been done on vaccine acceptance among nursing students. Design: A cross-sectional survey of nursing students was conducted via online questionnaires in March 2021. Methods: Descriptive statistics, independent sample t tests/one-way ANOVA (normal distribution), Mann-Whitney U tests/Kruskal-Wallis H tests (skewness distribution) and multivariate linear regression were performed. Results: The score rate of attitude, knowledge and vaccination willingness were 70.07%, 80.70% and 84.38% respectively. Attitude was significantly influenced by family economic conditions and whether a family member had been vaccinated. The main factors influencing knowledge were gender, grade and academic background. In terms of willingness, gender, academic background, visits to risk areas, whether family members were vaccinated, and whether they had side effects were significant influencing factors. Conclusions: The vaccine acceptance of nursing students was fair. Greater focus needed to be placed on the males, those of younger age, with a science background, and having low grades, as well as on students whose family members had not received the COVID-19 vaccine or had side effects from the vaccine. Targeted intervention strategies were recommended to improve vaccination rates.

Cervical cancer is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in women worldwide. The availability of prophylactic vaccines for high-risk types of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection represents an important advancement in the prevention of cervical cancer. In Jordan, the availability of the HPV vaccination is restricted to individuals who are willing to pay. The aim of the current study was to evaluate the willingness and attitude of female university students in health schools/faculties in Jordan to get HPV vaccination and their knowledge about the virus. A self-administered online questionnaire was distributed in October 2021, which comprised 27 items to evaluate HPV knowledge, history of HPV vaccination, intentions to get the HPV vaccine, and the reason(s) behind vaccine refusal for those who rejected vaccination. The study sample comprised 836 participants: medical students (39.7%), pharmacy students (26.0%), dental students (21.2%), and nursing students (13.2%). Only 524 participants had heard of HPV prior to the study (62.7%), of which 48.7% knew about the availability of HPV vaccines. The lowest level of HPV knowledge was observed among nursing students. Only 19/524 students reported a history of HPV vaccination (3.6%). The overall willingness to receive HPV vaccination if provided freely was 75.0%, while only 16.0% were willing to pay for the vaccine. The most common reason for HPV vaccine rejection was the perceived low risk to get HPV infection. Significantly higher intentions to get HPV vaccination were found among older participants and medical students. The embrace of vaccine conspiracy beliefs was associated with a significantly less willingness to get the HPV vaccination (p < 0.001). Dependence on the internet/social media as the source of HPV knowledge was associated with a significantly lower intention to get HPV vaccination (p = 0.002). The coverage of the HPV vaccination among female university students in health schools in Jordan appeared extremely low; however, three-fourths of the students who had heard of HPV were willing to receive the HPV vaccination if provided freely. Complacency appeared as a major factor for HPV vaccine rejection. Increasing the levels of knowledge and awareness of HPV infection and its association with cervical cancer through reliable sources is recommended. This can be helpful for the individual benefit of the students besides the potentially positive role they can play in community education. Countering vaccine conspiracy beliefs with proper education and awareness programs can be helpful to appraise the role of HPV vaccines in cancer prevention.

This present study was aimed at investigating the spiritual care-related views and practices of students.This descriptive study was conducted between March 2016 and June 2016 at a faculty of health sciences and a nursing faculty. The study population comprised 384 fourth-year nursing students studying in the aforementioned two faculties. Of these 384 students, 292 were included in the study sample.The mean age of the participants was 22.83 ± 1.57. Of the participants, 81.8% were female, 97.6% were single, 55.1% were nursing faculty students and 6.8% were nurses. The rate of the students who stated that they were knowledgeable about spiritual care was 57.9%, and 64.3% (n = 169) of them obtained this knowledge from the faculty. Of the students, 94.1% stated that the patient should be provided with spiritual care, 71.2% said that they were not guided by the teaching staff or responsible nurses on the provision of spiritual care, and 50.7% said that they were not able to meet the spiritual needs of individuals/patients. Of the students, 65.1% did not take lessons about spiritual care in the school they were studying, 69.9% considered themselves incompetent in providing spiritual care to their patients and 81.8% wanted to receive training in spiritual care. In the present study, the rate of those who stated that they were able to meet spiritual requirements of patients was higher among female students (x2 = 7.699, p = 0.006), those attending the nursing faculty (x2 = 8.797, p = 0.003) and those who took courses on spiritual care (x2 = 18.882, p = 0.001). The rate of those who stated that the provision of spiritual care was necessary was higher among those who wanted to receive education on spiritual care (x2 = 17.382, p = 0.001) and those attending the nursing faculty (x2 = 5.549, p = 0.018).It is considered necessary that colleges or faculties should have courses on spiritual care, that students’ lack of spiritual care-related knowledge should be dealt with, and that students should be supported and provided opportunities so that they can give spiritual care to patients they look after. ÖzetBu araştırmada hemşirelik bölümünde öğrenimine devam etmekte olan son sınıf öğrencilerin manevi bakıma ilişkin görüş ve uygulamalarının incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır.Tanımlayıcı tipteki araştırma, bir sağlık bilimleri fakültesi ve bir hemşirelik fakültesinde, Mart-Haziran 2016 tarihleri arasında gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmanın evrenini iki fakültede öğrenim gören 384 dördüncü sınıf hemşirelik öğrencileri oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmanın örneklemine 292 öğrenci dâhil edilmiştir.Araştırmaya katılan öğrencilerin yaş ortalaması 22.83 ± 1.57, %81.8’i kadın, %97.6’sı bekar, %55.1’i hemşirelik fakültesi öğrencisi ve %6.8’i hemşire olarak çalışmaktadır. Öğrencilerin %57.9’u manevi bakım konusunda bilgisi olduğunu ve bilgisi olanların (n=169) %64.3’ünün bu bilgiyi fakültesinden aldığını belirtmiştir. Öğrencilerin %94.1’i bireye /hastaya manevi bakım vermenin gerekli olduğunu, %71.2’si manevi bakım verme konusunda öğretim elemanı ya da sorumlu hemşiresi tarafından yönlendirilmediğini ve %50.7’si bireylerin /hastaların manevi gereksinimlerini karşılayamadığını belirtmiştir. Öğrencilerin %65.1’i eğitim gördüğü fakültede manevi bakımla ilgili ders almadığını belirtmiştir. Öğrencilerin %69.9’unun hastalarına manevi bakım verme konusunda kendilerini yeterli olarak görmedikleri ve %81.8’inin manevi bakım konusunda eğitim almak istediği belirlenmiştir. Araştırmada kız öğrencilerde (x2=7.699, p=0.006), hemşirelik fakültesinde öğrenim görenlerde (x2=8.797, p=0.003) ve manevi bakımla ilgili ders alanlarda (x2=18.882, p=0.001) bireylerin / hastaların manevi gereksinimlerini karşılayabildiklerini belirtenlerin daha fazla olduğu saptanmıştır. Manevi bakımla ilgili eğitim almak isteyenlerde (x2=17.382, p=0.001) ve hemşirelik fakültesinde öğrenim görenlerde (x2=5.549, p=0.018)  manevi bakım vermenin gerekli olduğunu düşünenlerin oranının daha fazla olduğu görülmüştür.Hemşirelik eğitimi veren yüksekokul veya fakültelerde manevi bakım konusunda derslerin verilmesi, öğrencilerin bu konudaki eksik bilgilerinin giderilmesi ve öğrencilerin bakım verdiği bireylere/hastalara manevi bakımı sağlayabilmeleri için fırsatların sağlanması ve desteklenmelerinin gerektiği görülmektedir.

OBJECTIVE: To examine the influence of addiction risk (substance abuse history [SAH]) and pain relief (PR) on nursing and non-nursing students’ perceptions of pain in a postoperative vignette patient.METHODS: Using a 2×2 design, the independent variables SAH (present/+, absent/–) and PR (adequate, little) were varied systematically to produce four vignettes. Participants were randomly assigned to receive one of the four vignettes that described a 45-year-old man after a total hip replacement. Participants rated the vignette patient’s experienced and reported pain intensity (PI) on a 0 mm to 100 mm visual analogue scale and addiction risk on a 0 mm to 100 mm visual analogue scale. A pain congruence (PC) score was calculated (PC = reported PI – experienced PI), and was interpreted as congruent (±2 mm) or incongruent (+2 mm to +100 mm for expected pain over-reporting; −2 mm to −100 mm for expected pain under-reporting).RESULTS: Responses from undergraduate nursing (n=89) and non-nursing (n=88) students were analyzed. The estimated addiction risk was significantly lower in nursing (14% to 45%) versus non-nursing students (50%). Nursing students’ mean PC scores were not significantly altered by SAH alone. Expectations of pain over-reporting were observed under conditions of SAH+/adequate PR, but not SAH+/little PR. In non-nursing students, SAH and PR were significant and independent factors influencing mean PC scores in the direction of pain over-reporting.CONCLUSION: Under most conditions, nursing students expected pain under-reporting by the postoperative vignette patient. However, nursing students did expect pain to be over-reported when addiction risk was high and PR was adequate. These data suggest that nursing students’ expectations regarding pain over- and under-reporting were sensitive to perceptions of addiction risk, but involved additional factors (eg, level of PR).

ABSTRACTThe perception of plastic surgery in society is limited and underestimates the versatility of the specialty. A survey was conducted in order to assess knowledge and to provide some initial evidence for education about the scope of plastic surgery amongst the public, medical and nursing students and general practitioners. A questionnaire was devised and four population groups of respondents were surveyed at random in one district. The results reveal that the majority of the public needs more information about the benefits that our specialty can offer them. Plastic surgeons are mainly associated with burns and cosmetic surgery and they are not necessarily identified as primary surgeons for procedures fundamental to our specialty. If patients are to receive the best treatment available, it is essential that we educate the public about our clinical interests and activities.
