Participation in labor unions may serve as a venue for nurses with limited institutional decision-making authority to advocate for patient needs; however, unionization can be a time-intensive and fraught process. Purpose: This study examined how nurses participating in a new union in an urban United States hospital described their reasons for participating in a labor union during collective bargaining. Methods: Content analysis of participant's interviews that took place between January and March 2023, after the nurses voted to unionize and collective bargaining had commenced but progress had stalled, and before additional actions (e.g., informational picketing, labor strikes) were authorized by union members. Findings: Content analysis generated three themes: (a) systemic barriers to advocacy, (b) unionization as an advocacy method, and (c) professional empowerment through unionization. Nurses in this study perceived barriers to meeting patient care needs that were insufficiently addressed prior to unionization. They described their motivation to participate in the union due to their desire to advocate despite adversity and finding empowerment through union activities. Implications for Practice: This study highlights the need for equity in decision-making authority and greater opportunities for nurses to effect workplace changes.","PeriodicalId":54104,"journal":{"name":"Creative Nursing","volume":" ","pages":"10784535251314146"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2025-01-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143054270","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}

Professional experience placement can be a time when students feel the impact of intersectional challenges, and is a point in which attrition occurs. A regional university partnered with their spatial analysis unit to create a customised, interactive, digital map application to support students undertaking professional experience placement. Purpose: This research aimed to identify whether a custom-designed digital map application reduced student self-perceived stress, promoted ongoing connection with theoretical learning, and facilitated more reliable access to internet technology during professional experience placement. Methods: An online survey using homogenous purposive sampling was used to gather data. Quantitative analysis used the Exact Wilcoxon-Pratt Signed Rank Test and the Kruskal-Wallis Rank Sum Test to further analyse the data in accordance with specific demographics. Conclusions: Difference between pre- and post-intervention response rates was suggestive, indicating that the map application contributed to improving students' experience in two key areas: self-reported personal, financial, and family stress; and ongoing connection with theoretical learning using technology while undertaking professional experience placement. Implications for Practice: This research evidences one way in which universities can support students during professional experience placement, opening opportunities for other disciplines who use work-integrated learning opportunities to explore the impact a customised digital map application may have on student experiences.","PeriodicalId":54104,"journal":{"name":"Creative Nursing","volume":" ","pages":"10784535241311935"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2025-01-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142973276","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}

Clear methods for educating students in cultural awareness are still lacking. Research indicates that simply increasing knowledge on ethnicity, culture, or migration does not improve culturally sensitive behavior and can foster stereotypes. To overcome barriers like othering, a form of micro-racism, enhanced critical self-awareness is essential for health-care providers. Aim: A 4h module on culturally sensitive care was designed, implemented, and evaluated, with the aim of increasing nursing students' self-awareness about othering, racism, and exclusion in health care. Methods: This article describes (1) the content of the module, led by the Johari Window model and the needs and insights from nursing students and health-care providers, (2) implementation of the module, and (3) subsequent evaluation among 34 participants. Results: The survey findings were categorized into six themes: Understanding Differences and Prejudices, Applying Knowledge in the Context of Nursing Practice, Acquiring Insights through Interpersonal Engagement, Strengths of the Sessions, Weaknesses and Areas for Improvement, and Overall Impressions. The participants evaluated the module positively, identifying success factors (e.g., enhanced self-reported awareness of their own positionality) and working points (e.g., imbalance in interaction among students and time constraints). Conclusion: The study describes the design, implementation, and evaluation of a module that successfully increases nursing students' self-reported cultural competence and self-awareness, enhancing understanding of health-care inequalities and fostering open communication for more inclusive care.","PeriodicalId":54104,"journal":{"name":"Creative Nursing","volume":" ","pages":"10784535241311933"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2025-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142958891","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}

Facial expressions were also analyzed using a facial recognition application. Puncture-related characteristics were assessed through puncture marks, number of punctures, and hemostasis. Results: There was a significantly higher puncture mark frequency at 3 min in the automated lancet group than in the laser lancet group. There were no interaction effects of time and group on pain-related behavioral response, heart rate, or oxygen saturation. There were significant positive correlations between the pain-related behavioral response and anger, disgust, fear, and sadness. Conclusion: The laser lancet had relatively good outcomes regarding puncture-related characteristics, although there was no significant difference in pain-related responses.

Simulation-based education offers experiential, interactive, and collaborative learning opportunities, and hence can help improve students' communication skills and increase their satisfaction and self-confidence. Purpose: This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of simulation-based learning on the educational practice of communication skills, satisfaction, and self-confidence among undergraduate nursing students. Methods: An uncontrolled before-and-after study design among first-year nurse students (n = 112) used the Educational Practices Questionnaire and the Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning instruments for data collection. Results: In total, 91.1% of participants reported high satisfaction with simulation-based education experiences. Mean scores for communication skills, student satisfaction, and self-confidence were higher on posttest. There was a suggestive correlation between simulation-based education and the practices of communication skills, satisfaction, and self-confidence. Conclusion: Simulation-based education is associated with improved communication, student satisfaction, confidence, and critical thinking among nursing students. This study is important for institutions because it demonstrates that simulation-based education enhances a safer and more effective learning environment to meet the demands of future health-care professionals by increasing their satisfaction and self-confidence and improving communication skills through increased collaboration in several real-life scenarios.","PeriodicalId":54104,"journal":{"name":"Creative Nursing","volume":" ","pages":"10784535241301115"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142787808","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}

Although effective communication strategies have not been determined, online resources are known to reach a wider audience and make CMC research more visible. The All-you-need-to-know-about-continuity-of-carer newsletter, distributed by the authors, is a strategy to communicate valuable and credible CMC content from knowledge producers to users. Purpose: To explore the newsletter's functional elements and the connection between it as a communication strategy and the individuals interacting with it and to present a case demonstration of a newsletter example. Methods: A descriptive case report with a theory-driven approach using 10 elements of human communication theories. Conclusions: The following elements of human communication contribute to understanding the functioning of the newsletter: Grounded Theoretical Theory, the Practical-Action Theory and goal-oriented communication (communication theory), the Syntactic Theory of Visual Communication and the rhetorical tradition of communication (tradition of communication), Elaboration Likelihood and the socio-cultural model of communication (communicator), implied compliance-gaining, parole, semiosis, narrative paradigm and rhetoric logic (message), social organisation communication, co-cultural communication and invitational rhetoric (conversation), the orientation and exploratory affective exchange stages of social exchange (relationship), Structuration Theory (group), the Theory of Bureaucracy (organisation), the Cultivation Theory (media), and the Diffusion of Innovation and Ethnography of Communication (culture and society).

One such successful evidence-based health education approach designed for the pediatric population is the Teddy Bear Clinic. The purpose of this article is to report on the efficacy of a nursing student-led Teddy Bear Clinic designed to increase the awareness of common medical equipment and procedures in the pre-school pediatric population. This quality improvement project used a program evaluation design to assess the children's knowledge of common medical procedures and equipment. Participants were a convenience sample of 16 children aged 3-5 years old, attending one daycare center in a large city in Atlantic Canada. Findings showed that after participation in the clinic, the pre-schoolers reported a high level of knowledge of common medical equipment and procedures. This project shows that a Teddy Bear Clinic run by senior nursing students can promote community partnerships and enhance health knowledge in pre-school children.","PeriodicalId":54104,"journal":{"name":"Creative Nursing","volume":" ","pages":"336-340"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141876716","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}
