Self medication with over the counter (OTC) drugs is common among medicine and nursing students. Despite all their benefits, improper use of medicines can bring potential health hazards and evidence continue to mount that adverse reaction to medicines are common and yet often preventable1. Over the counter drugs means drugs which are allowed to be sold by pharmacists without need for a prescription. The term does not have a legal definition in India2. Objectives: 1. To assess the level of knowledge of B.Sc Nursing students regarding OTC drugs, 2. To assess the practice of B.Sc Nursing students regarding OTC drugs, 3. To determine the association of knowledge of B.Sc Nursing students with the demographic variables, 4. To determine the association of practice among B.Sc Nursing students with the demographic variables. 5. To determine the correlation between knowledge and practice of B.Sc Nursing students regarding OTC drugs. Methods: Descriptive research design and purposive sampling technique was used for the study. 60 B.Sc Nursing students were selected from NS Memorial College of Nursing, Kollam. Result: Analysis of knowledge of B.Sc(N) students regarding OTC drugs shows that 15% had inadequate knowledge, 48.3% had moderate knowledge and 36.7% had adequate knowledge level. Analysis of the practice of 60 B.Sc(N) students regarding OTC drugs shows that 88.5% had bad practice and 11.5% had good practice level.

Background: Compressing the knowledge and skills of speciality care nursing, such as perioperative nursing, within a few weeks is not feasible as such knowledge and skills require months and years of training to be attained and proficient. It has, in turn, impacted OR nurses professionally. Objective: This study aimed to explore the impacts of OR nursing induction programmes (IPs) on newly-joined nurses (NJNs) in Singapore OR units. Design: This mixed-methods study included two phases. Phase one used an online questionnaire survey via Google Forms to collect data from 91 OR nurses using 42 items questionnaire survey. In the second phase, eight nurses from phase one were recruited for a Zoom interview to gather more insights regarding the main findings from phase one. Results: The survey revealed five main areas of OR nursing IPs that impacted NJNs in their job role. These include ‘contents’, ‘delivery’, ‘length’, ‘resources’ and ‘seeking clarifications’. Four themes emerged from the interview: ' quality of IP’, ‘skills and knowledge acquisition’, ‘adapting to a new clinical environment’ and ‘resource persons during IP’, which were associated with OR nursing IPs' impacts on NJNs in Singapore. Conclusions: The central challenge identified in this study impacted OR nurses' job role as contributors to knowledge and skills acquisition. Ultimately, nurses in this study expressed that their resilience and initiative to seek clarifications reduced the challenges that impacted their role performance after their IPs.

Aim: The study aims to ascertain the student’s perception of the utilization of teaching methods by nurse educators in nursing education institutions in southeast Nigeria. Design: A cross-sectional study design was used. Method: Multistage sampling was employed to randomly select 11 nursing education institutions in south east Nigeria. Data was collected from 328 students using a self-administered questionnaire and analyzed using SPSS version 21. Hypotheses were tested using the Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis test at the 0.05 significance level. Result: All 328 student nurses completely filled out and returned the distributed questionnaire. Of the respondents, 83.2% were female, and 16.8% were male. Most nurse educators were perceived to use all the enumerated teaching methods optimally, except for the introduction of games during teaching. However, 97.2% of the students preferred all the identified teaching methods for various reasons. The demographic profile of students (gender, year of study, except age) significantly influenced their perception of the teaching methods utilized by the educators. Conclusion: Students acquire nursing skills through formal instruction and practical experiences, as seen in the Dreyfus model of skill acquisition (2004) and student preferred teaching methods that enhance exchange of ideas and interactive Ness. Hence, nurse educators should consider student nurses age and preferred teaching styles to ensure well imparted knowledge.
