Aim: Exploring nursing students’ perceptions regarding caring is essential, especially for nursing educators, in order to provide information for planning a curriculum in nursing education. The aim of this literature review was to synthesize the literature regarding nursing students’ perceptions of caring based on the available primary research. Design: A literature review. Methods: Six electronic databases (Web of Science, PubMed, Science Direct, SCOPUS, Wiley Online Library, and SAGE) were searched. Articles were selected according to PRISMA guidelines. A thematic synthesis framework was applied in this review. Results: Thirteen primary studies were included and synthesized, and seven analytical themes emerged. The analytical themes were: caring as presence, caring as support, caring as professionalism, caring as communication, caring as establishing relationships, and patient well-being as a positive outcome of caring. Conclusion: Caring was perceived variously in this review, and consisted of physical aspects, emotional aspects, and professional aspects, together with obedience to the nursing codes of ethics. Finally, it was felt that being caring to patients should not mean that nurses neglect their own self-care.

Aim: The aim of our study was to examine the impact of partner support and perceived stress on the level of depressive symptoms in the postpartum period. Design: Cross-sectional observational study. Methods: A total of 206 women were included in the study. The mean age of respondents was 30.9 years (SD = 4.8; range: 20–44 years.). The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, Postpartum Partner Support Scale, and Perceived Stress Scale were used to measure the main observed variables. The questionnaire was supplemented with socio-demographic, health-related, and obstetric data. Results: The linear regression model showed that significant predictors of postpartum depression were: lack of support person during labor [ β = -0.105; 95% CI = (-0.754; -0.030)]; lower education [ β = -0.139; 95% CI = (-2.256; -0.407)]; lower partner support [ β = -0.154; 95% CI = (-0.115; -0.025)]; and higher perceived stress [ β = 0.755; 95% CI = (0.470; 0.615)]. Perceived stress was deemed to be the most significant predictor of increased depressive symptoms. Conclusion: Identifying mothers who perceive low support from their partner, or who experience high levels of stress and depression, and, subsequently, offering effective psychological support is important in helping to maintain the psychological and mental wellbeing of mothers.

Aim: To discover the perceived level of nursing interruptions during care activities. The study evaluates the contributing factors of alarms, equipment failures, visitors, and telephone calls in predicting interruptions according to the site of nurses’ work. It also examines the potential association of demographic factors of nurses with interruption levels. Design : A cross-sectional study. Methods: The study included nurses working at a tertiary hospital in Amman, the capital of Jordan. Data collections were carried out between May and July 2020. The analysis was performed using 257 valid questionnaires, compromising 128 male and 129 female respondents. The study used a nursing interruptions scale and an interruptions scale related to patients and hospitals. Results: Results indicated that the participating nurses generally experienced a high level of interruptions during nursing care activities. Visitors were found to be the main predictor of nursing interruptions on the surgical / medical floor; whereas equipment failure was found to be the main predictor of nursing interruptions in intensive care units. Finally, the demographic factors of marital status and educational level were associated with interruptions. Conclusion: Visitors and equipment failures are the main predictors of interruptions during nursing care activities. Our results provide a clear explanation for organizations, nurse managers, and clinicians of the factors behind nursing interruptions.

Aim: The aim of the study was to translate the Satisfaction with Simulation Experience (SSE) scale in Croatian language and examine whether the SSE scale was valid and reliable among Croatian nursing students. Design: In May 2020, a cross-sectional study was conducted at the University of Applied Health Sciences in Croatia. A 145 bachelor’s degree nursing students participated in the study. Methods: To determine the instrument’s internal consistency reliability, the Cronbach alpha coefficient was used. In addition, Confirmatory factor analysis, Bartlett’s sphericity test, the Kaiser-Olkin statistic and Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests were used. Results: Cronbach’s alpha coefficient demonstrated a high consistency of the Croatian version of SSE scale (α = 0.92). The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO = 0.895) and the Bartlett’s sphericity (p < 0.000) demonstrate significant results. The confirmatory factor analysis CFA has yielded a three-factor structure of SSE scale. Conclusion: The Croatian version of Satisfaction with Simulation Experience scale (CRO – SSE) has shown adequate psychometric properties making it a suitable tool for examining the satisfaction of nursing students with the simulation experience in Croatian context.

Aim: This study aimed to evaluate nursing students’ experiences and perceptions of aggression during their clinical practice. Design: The descriptive study. Methods: This was a descriptive study comprising students in their second, third, and fourth years in the Faculty of Health Sciences during the spring term of the 2015–2016 academic year. An explanation of the aim of this study was provided to the participants, and the written approval of 213 students was obtained before the study was commenced. A Personal Information Form and the Perception of Aggression Scale were used to collect data. Descriptive statistics and the Kruskal-Wallis Test were used in data analysis. Results: The mean age of the students was 21.61 (± 6.93). Most students (98.1%) had received no training on how to interact with angry or aggressive individuals, 11.3% thought that they were unable to provide care to aggressive individuals, and 21.6% wished to receive training on interacting with such individuals. More than half of the students (54.4%) reported that they were unable to interact with angry and aggressive individuals. The mean score of the functional sub-dimension was 3.16 (± 0.59), and the mean score of the dysfunctional sub-dimension was 2.35 (± 0.49). Conclusion: Student nurses are often the target of angry and aggressive behavior during their clinical practice, are negatively mentally affected when exposed to aggression, and do not receive enough instruction in how to engage with aggressive individuals. Their negative perceptions of aggression were formed during their undergraduate education. perception of aggression.

Midwifery work in the territory of Central Europe is based on a long tradition. The role of midwives in the then Austrian Empire, which comprised most of Central Europe, was firstly defined as early as 1552 by the order of Ordopolitiae, issued by Ferdinand I of Habsburg, Holy Roman emperor (Zalai, 1973). In 1799, the first legal order for the provision of health care, Taxa Pharmaceutica, came into force. Article XIV of the Act of 1876 on the Organization of Public Health further tightened the qualification requirements for midwives as a regular course at university or a specialized school (Falisová & Morovicsová, 2015). After the First World War, successor states took on the high education requirements in midwifery, as a highly respected profession.

Aim: This study aims to provide an understanding of the concept of self-efficacy in its implications in promoting adherence to healthy behaviours among pregnant women. Design: Concept analysis guided by Wilson 1963 framework. Methods: An electronic search of the literature published from 2009–2019 was conducted using the following databases: CINAHL, PubMed, ERIC, PsycINFO, and Google Scholar. After an in-depth review of the literature, the data were analysed, and the findings were synthesized. Results: It was found that self-efficacy is a multidimensional, dynamic, and contextual concept that is shaped according to a pregnant woman’s previous experiences, the gained knowledge, presence of family empowerment, professional support, and the woman’s emotional status. Self-efficacy influences a pregnant woman’s cognitive process by taking quality decision-making, setting practical goals, and having a plan to overcome barriers and challenges. Conclusion: Self-efficacy is an essential predictor of adherence to the recommended healthy behaviours; hence, it should be part of any prenatal health promotion interventions.

Aim: This study was conducted to adapt the Spiritual Care Competence Scale (SCCS) into the Turkish language and to psychometrically test it for use with Turkish midwives. Design : A methodological study. Design: A methodological study. Methods: The study sample consisted of 250 midwives working at a state hospital in Turkey. First, the linguistic and content validity of the scale were evaluated. Next, the scale was tested in a pilot study. Finally, the construct validity and reliability of the scale were analysed. Results: In this study, the content validity ratio value of each item on the SCCS as adapted into Turkish was found to range between 0.86 and 1.00, and the content validity ratio for the total scale was calculated at 0.99. The total variance explained by the scale was 69.1%. The SCCS for Turkish midwives (SCCS-TM), which consists of 27 items and five subscales, was tested by exploratory factor analysis. In the reliability analysis of the scale, Cronbach’s alpha value was 0.92, and the subscales ranged from 0.72 to 0.93. Conclusion: The present study provides evidence of the SCCS-TM’s validity, and reliability. The scale is suitable for use with Turkish midwives.

Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of Progressive Muscle Relaxation Technique on sleep quality in patients with total hip arthroplasty. Design: A non-randomized quasi-experimental model was used in this study. Methods: Data were collected using a Personal Information Form and the Turkish translation of the Visual Analog Sleep Scale (VAS Scale). The data was analyzed using percentages and t-test. Results: In comparison with the mean VAS Scale scores between the experimental and the control groups, no significant difference was found between the mean VAS Scale scores of the patients before the surgery and on the night of surgery (p > 0.05). However, a statistically significant difference was found between the mean VAS Scale scores in the first and second postoperative days between groups (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The study found that progressive relaxation exercises improve the quality of sleep. The routine use of progressive relaxation exercises is recommended for patient care plans.
