With the increasing restrictions on what students can do in a clinical setting coupled with the lack of hands-on experience, has resulted in skills and knowledge deficits in nursing students. These limitations call for a new educational modality to supplement these educational loses. The use of hi-fidelity simulation, using the NLN/Jefferies framework allows for the application of Malcom Knowles adult learning theory by providing real world experience in a safe format. In this mixed methods study the effects of hi-fidelity simulation on knowledge retention and critical thinking skills has been observed over a six-week period of simulations validated by the National League of Nursing simulation design scale for nursing education research and the National.","PeriodicalId":73461,"journal":{"name":"International journal of nursing and health care research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42182563","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}

A total of 100 questionnaires were enrollment from 1 June 2021 to 30 July 2021. The study tool was a questionnaire containing physical and mental health, work stress, and resilience sub-scales. Study results were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent sample t-test, and Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient and regression analysis. In medical staff, physical and mental health and work stress were negatively correlated with resilience ( r=−0.55, p <0.01 ; r=−0.61, p<0.01). Furthermore, the main predictors affecting resilience in medical staff included: physical and mental health, education level, and resilience (F=33.7, p<0.001), which explained 52.0% of variation. The study results indicated the following: (1) a channel for relieving stress such as psychological assessment and care should be provided for medical staff; (2) a friendly team atmosphere should be created and the support system should be strengthened; and (3) complete and appropriate epidemic control training and sufficient protective equipment should be provided. This study can be used as a reference for formulation of relevant policies through hospital management.","PeriodicalId":73461,"journal":{"name":"International journal of nursing and health care research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69485232","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 approximately 14% of adults diagnosed with the disease and another 33% diagnosed with prediabetes, multiple stakeholders have committed to developing multilevel approaches to slow the rate of transition of prediabetes to T2DM [2]. Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) is one evidence-based approach that has been referenced throughout many health care and health science journals. While physicians are noted as the gatekeepers of care, nurses and Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs) are employed across the care continuum to affect the incidence and outcomes of diabetes prevention and prediabetes management. Nurses, among the key providers of health care, are positioned to facilitate the implementation of evidence-based interventions (EBI), like the DPP, from clinical practice into community-based settings. However, the DPP remains largely an under-utilized approached within health care. There seems to be a knowledge-gap about the DPP and its scalability across diverse patient populations. The purpose of this educational manuscript is three-fold: (1) to provide background on the Diabetes Prevention Program, its use and scalability to real-world settings, (2) to address some of the challenges of DPP across cultures, and (3) to increase awareness of how policy supports and improves populations’ access to the DPP and its translational delivery models – reducing the prevalence of prediabetes, and hence diabetes, in this country.","PeriodicalId":73461,"journal":{"name":"International journal of nursing and health care research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47770030","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}

Methods : A prospective observational study was conducted using nurses experienced in vascular access to internally validate the C-DIVA tool. After validation of the tool, scenarios were provided to a vascular access specialist group for inter-rater reliability measurement. Results : A survey to assess face validity received responses from 7 nurses in active practice. Using a 1-5 Likert scale, the tool was rated at 4.43 for usability. Additional assessments by 12 nurses provided 72 independent assessments of case scenarios to establish inter-rater reliability. Intra-class correlation coefficient of 49.4% with 55.6% agreement was achieved. Conclusion : The C-DIVA tool was validated by a sample of nurses with vascular access experience from different clinical areas. The inter-rater reliability of the C-DIVA tool is moderate. The use of the tool should facilitate the identification of DIVA patients by generalist providers (those without specialized training or advanced skills in vascular access placement) to facilitate the allocation of appropriate clinicians and resources to achieve successful vascular access for patients with difficult access.","PeriodicalId":73461,"journal":{"name":"International journal of nursing and health care research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48839884","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}
