Even though the number of men in nursing has increased in the past few decades, societal and organisational factors prevent the easy admittance and retention of men in the nursing profession. The COVID-19 pandemic has magnified the global nursing shortage and there is an urgent need to mitigate nursing staff shortages. One crucial strategy would be degendering the nursing profession, especially in the context of India, through diversifying recruitment strategies. This article discusses the historical background of how nursing became a gendered profession. While critically examining the ethical concerns about gendering practices in the nursing profession, this article argues for the need to break the gendered stereotypes in nursing. In addition, this article elicits an urgent call for action utilising feminist pedagogy in the nursing curriculum to transform nursing education.","PeriodicalId":186624,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Continuing Nursing Education","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131705031","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With wide range of roles and responsibility, nurses should have proper knowledge of the subject along with the necessary competent skills to perform their duties. The gap between education and the clinical practice has always been challenge for educational experts in the field. Objectives: The objectives were to explore the factors causing the theory-practice gap in nursing education in India and to identify the strategies for bridging the theory-practice gap in nursing education. Methods: The research design was descriptive qualitative design. The data were collected from 30 participants including 10 clinical nurses, 10 nursing teachers and 10 nursing students from selected hospitals and nursing colleges of Northern India. Non-probability purposive sampling technique was used to collect the data. Semi-structured telephonic interview with self-administered questionnaire was used to collect the data. The collected data were analysed by using Coloizzi's method and the data were organised and transcribed. Results: The five emergent themes were clinical practice and clinical nurse-related factors, curriculum-related factors, student-related factors, nurse faculty-related factors and administration-related factors. Findings for the strategies to bridge the theory practice gap were organised into 12 subcluster themes, 7 cluster themes and 5 emergent themes which are collaborative health care approach, reforms in teaching styles and evaluation system, system change and integrative approach of nursing curriculum. Conclusion: Nursing practice is closely associated with the theory taught in the class. Hence, the theory should be wisely applied in the clinical areas to deliver the quality nursing care to the patients.","PeriodicalId":186624,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Continuing Nursing Education","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130588803","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Problem-based learning (PBL) is one of the new methods, which facilitates student's learning. Objective: The study aimed to assess and compare the nursing students' knowledge regarding myocardial infarction taught by PBL and traditional lecture method. Methods: A quantitative research approach with post-test-only research design was used. All 50 B.Sc. 2nd-year nursing students were included in the study. A structured knowledge questionnaire was used to assess the knowledge. Results: The findings revealed that the mean knowledge score of nursing students in the PBL group was 24.28 and in the traditional lecture group was 19.36. The obtained mean difference between PBL group and traditional lecture group was found to be statistically significant as evident from 't' = 2.71 at 0.05 level of significance. The study findings also revealed that in the PBL group, 16% of nursing students had acquired poor knowledge, 68% had acquired average knowledge and 16% had acquired good knowledge, whereas in the traditional lecture group, 40% of students had acquired poor knowledge, 52% had acquired average knowledge and 8% had acquired good knowledge. Conclusion: The study revealed that the mean knowledge score after post-test of nursing students in the PBL group was higher than mean knowledge score after post-test of nursing students in the traditional lecture group; hence, PBL method was more effective than traditional lecture method.","PeriodicalId":186624,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Continuing Nursing Education","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127737998","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Effect of a school-based interventional package on the cardiovascular risk of adolescents","authors":"Deepa Premala, R. Reghunath","doi":"10.4103/ijcn.ijcn_109_21","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4103/ijcn.ijcn_109_21","url":null,"abstract":"Background: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the number one cause of death globally. Several risk factors are associated with CVDs evident in childhood through adolescence. The major metabolic risk factors include high blood pressure (BP), increased body mass index (BMI), raised blood glucose, raised blood lipids and increased waist circumference (WC). Physical activity, diet, BP, WC, obesity and cardiovascular fitness are the risk factors that can be measured non invasively among adolescents. The identification of these risk factors in adolescents can enable healthcare providers to initiate interventions to reduce the risk and help adolescents to move forward to healthier adulthood in the future. Objectives: The objectives of the present study were to assess the cardiovascular risk of adolescents and to evaluate the effect of a school based interventional package on the cardiovascular risk for adolescents with high cardiovascular risk. Methods: The study was conducted in two phases. Phase I adopted a descriptive design and Phase II adopted a quasi experimental non equivalent control group before and after design. It was conducted in four schools among 401 adolescents aged 10–14 years and their mothers who have given signed consent. The sociodemographic data sheet and the 24 h recall of the adolescents were completed by the mothers. The adolescents completed a physical activity questionnaire child The Physical activity questionnaire for older children and the tobacco, alcohol and drug questionnaire in their classroom. The height, weight, BP and WC were measured as per standard procedures. The 20 m shuttle run was conducted to assess their cardiovascular fitness and levels and shuttles obtained by the adolescents were recorded and graded. The BMI was calculated. The adolescents (n = 31) with the highest risk scores in the experimental schools underwent a school based interventional package. The control group (n = 30) did not have any intervention. The post tests were conducted on the last day of the 8th and 16th weeks using the cardiovascular risk scale. Results: The mean score for cardiovascular risk was 14.35 with a standard deviation of 3.23. There was a statistically significant difference in the cardiovascular risk scores of the adolescents between the control and experimental group in post test 1 (t = 5.69; P = 0.001) at the 8th week and post test 2 (t = 11.61; P = 0.001) at the 16th week. Hence, it can be concluded that a school lbased interventional package elicited a reduction in cardiovascular risk among adolescents. Conclusion: Nurses, particularly school health nurses, can play a pivotal role in encouraging cardiovascular risk surveillance programmes among adolescents in school and to conduct multi component interventional programmes including education, physical activity and diet.","PeriodicalId":186624,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Continuing Nursing Education","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133259099","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The perspective towards the job and the nursing profession has a direct impact on professional commitment. The aim of this study was to explore the perspectives of nurses towards their preferred profession. Methods: A total of 572 nursing officers from all four of India's regions – the East, West, North and South–were included in a cross-sectional descriptive study. The samples were contacted by WhatsApp, e-mail and telegram by sharing the SurveyMonkey app-created survey link. The questionnaire includes a 5-point Likert scale to assess the nursing officers' perspectives on a total of 20 statements regarding their perception. The subjects were asked to fill out the informed consent before the study started. Results: The majority of the nursing officers (69.1%) had favourable perspectives and only 1/3rd of the subjects (30.9%) had unfavourable perspectives towards their preferred profession. The years of experience had a significant association with levels of perspective (P = 0.016) tested by Chi-square. Multiple logistic regression showed geographic region had a significant influence on the level of perspective (P = 0.027; 95% confidence interval: 1.059–2.622). Conclusion: The nursing officers had favourable perspectives towards the chosen profession and geographic region is the influencing factor on levels of perspective. To increase personal and professional development, efforts must be taken to reduce the influencing factor and barriers that affect the nursing officer's perspectives.","PeriodicalId":186624,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Continuing Nursing Education","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128446888","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mixed methods assess study participants' perspectives, opinions and outlooks on specific occurrences. Subjective data collection is like searching in the sea; potential data may be overlooked. Q-technique collects and analyses subjective data from study participants on a given topic. Q-methodology, Q-sort and Q-techniques are commonly used interchangeably, but they have different meanings.
