Background and aim: Primary Health Care is a foundational element within the realm of healthcare reforms, serving as a linchpin for achieving Universal Health Coverage and Sustainable Development Goals. Globally, there is a growing emphasis on building a robust primary health care nursing workforce to meet the challenges arising from chronic and complex diseases. Nursing schools are expected to align their educational programmes to the population’s health and the country’s health context, thus integrating relevant primary health care related competencies into their curricula. The study aimed to analyse the process of developing and implementing a primary health care oriented undergraduate nursing curriculum in South Africa.Methods: A qualitative grounded theory approach by Strauss and Corbin’s framework guided this study. Forty participants—purposively selected—participated in the study. The data were collected using focus group interviews, in-depth interviews, observations, document analysis and memos. The data were analysed using the grounded theory method of constant comparative data analysis through a systematic coding, categorisation and theory-building process.Results: The development of a primary health care oriented undergraduate nursing curriculum included: creating a curriculum team, establishing the context, obtaining the consensus on graduate primary health care competencies, determining curriculum foundation, selecting and organising the content and learning experiences, selecting experiential learning sites, selecting teaching, learning and assessment strategies. Furthermore, the study revealed competencies in primary health care expected from the students: care provision, professionalism, communication, collaboration, health advocacy, leadership and management and research. The implementation of a competency-based and PHC-oriented curriculum required the capacity building of facilitators, students, clinical mentors and preceptors and effectively adopting transformative teaching, learning and assessment.Conclusions: A competency-based and primary health care oriented undergraduate nursing curriculum is a tool to assist in producing competent graduates who are relevant and responsive to the population’s needs in a primary health care oriented healthcare system.

Relationships of tolerance of ambiguity, decision-making style, risk-taking behaviors, and the use of supportive and complex care in end-of-life scenarios was investigated in this descriptive correlational study of 377 undergraduate nursing students. The mean for rational decision-making style was 2.332 (agree), while the overall mean for intuitive decision-making was 2.406 (range = 2.37 to 2.489) among all students although higher among sophomore students (2.489, SD = 0.655). The median tolerance of ambiguity scores was higher for juniors and seniors (9.00) compared to sophomore students (8.00). Intuitive decision-making was not associated with level of education. There was no statistically significant correlation between decision-making style and tolerance of ambiguity although there was a negative correlation between intuitive decision-making and tolerance of ambiguity (rs = -0.031, p = .547). Additionally, there was a negative small correlation between rational decision-making and tolerance of ambiguity (rs = -0.040, p = .441). Finally, there was a small statistically significant correlation for supportive care for vignette 1(rs = 0.119, p = .021). All correlations between intuition decision-making and supportive care were low (rs = –0.067-0.119). In conclusion, decision-making style was not related to supportive care. Although intuitive decision-making style was used more frequently by sophomores, there was no statistically significant difference between level of education and decision-making style or tolerance of ambiguity.

Background and aim: Stress can develop when an individual becomes overwhelmed with appointed tasks and nursing students are not exempt from this reaction when experiencing academic pressure. Nursing students can learn appropriate ways to decrease stress through coping strategies. The study aimed to educate nursing students about the coping strategy mindfulness through the utilization of the Calm mobile application (Calm), decreasing stress, and increasing the awareness and utilization of mindfulness.Methods: The purpose of the Quality Improvement (QI) project was to educate nursing students on mindfulness as a coping strategy through supplemental resource videos and the usage of Calm. Students completed a pre-/post-survey modeled after the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale with an addition of three qualitative questions.Results: At the start of the project, 99% of students practiced mindfulness through Calm, 0-15 minutes a week while at the end of the project, 46% of students practiced mindfulness through Calm, 15-60 minutes a week. Pre-project implementation, 19% of students agreed that Calm is useful in the practice of mindfulness while post-project implementation, 44% of students agreed that Calm is useful. A Paired t-test was conducted regarding mindfulness awareness and showed 95% confidence with a pre-mean of 3.2 and a post-mean of 3.6. A difference of 0.4 between both pre-post-means resulting in a significant increase after intervention.Conclusions: The QI project was successful in increasing the awareness and utilization of mindfulness and in educating nursing students about the coping strategy mindfulness which can decrease stress.

As nursing faculty, we have numerous demands and expectations at work, and we often have just as many in our personal lives. How do we get everything done? How do we meet all of the expectations of others? How do we make time for ourselves and recharge our energy levels? In this article we discuss simple strategies nursing faculty may use for achieving greater work-life balance. These range from identifying and prioritizing our to-do lists, protecting our time and schedules, being more efficient at work, and perhaps most important, engaging in effective self-care practices to help us recharge and balance all areas of our lives.

Objective: The “Five Minute Preceptor Model” (5MP) is a teaching method which addresses the training needs of students within clinical placements. Investigation of its applicability for nursing education is equally missing as research on designing effective 5MP trainings for nurse preceptors. Aim of the pilot study was to develop and evaluate a 5 MP training and to assess its impact by measuring the utilization of the 5MP steps by the nurse preceptors.Methods: A quantitative design was used to evaluate the training directly after attendance, using descriptive statistics for data analyzes. The application of the 5MP steps was investigated before and six months after training using Wilcoxon test for statistical analyzes. A significance level of p < .05 was set. Comparative factor analysis was used to examine the 5MP model itself.Results: Participants (N = 92) overall rating of the trainings was high. The higher they rated the trainings the more they would applicate the 5MP in future preceptorship. Newsworthiness of the training was designated high but no difference was found in the application of the 5MP steps prior and after attendance of the training. Comparative factor analysis indicated that the 5MP steps were seen as more important after the training.Conclusions: The results suggest that the training is suitable for teaching nurse preceptors to use the 5MP. Although no significant differences were found in pre- and post-training usage, the comparative factor analysis shows increased knowledge through training attendance. Larger studies are needed to gain deeper insights into the 5MP model.

The emergence of telehealth stands at the forefront of healthcare evolution, particularly in mental healthcare delivery. The efficacy and adoption of this modality, however, are largely contingent upon the awareness and competence of professionals in the field. This study sought to investigate the awareness, attitudes, and proficiency of psychiatric nurses in Jeddah City regarding telehealth, providing insights into its applicability and potential challenges in the region. Findings indicated that a significant 81% of psychiatric nurses in Jeddah City are familiar with telehealth. Attitudinally, the majority viewed telehealth favorably, with an overall mean attitude score of 3.7 ± 0.91 on a 5-point scale. Proficiency-wise, foundational digital skills were robust, with 72.4% showcasing medium to professional competence in basic computing tasks. However, more specialized telehealth-specific tasks identified areas for enhancement, such as installing software where only 40.4% demonstrated professional or medium competency. Psychiatric nurses in Jeddah exhibit a strong foundational readiness for the integration of telehealth, underscored by their considerable awareness and largely positive attitudes. Targeted training, especially in niche digital areas, is paramount to ensure telehealth's seamless integration and efficacy in mental healthcare delivery.

Background and objectives: To address the need for innovative educational activities which focus on the Asian American population, and focuses on the Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) and culturally competent care, an immersive, interactive 360-degree video simulation-based educational activity (SBE) was implemented by nursing faculty at a Midwest university. The specific aims of the project were to a) assess changes in participants knowledge and skills as related to SDOH, cultural awareness, and health literacy with the Asian American population; b) participant confidence, and c) assess the usefulness, and ease of use, of 360-degree video simulation.Methods: A single group pretest-posttest design was used in this SBE activity with a convenience sample of 83 undergraduate baccalaureate nursing students at one university.Results: The SBE activity improved overall knowledge and confidence. Furthermore, the majority of participants perceived the SBE activity as useful and that the 360-degree video technology was easy to use.Conclusions: The results contribute to limited literature exploring outcomes of 360-degree video simulation with a focus on the Asian American population and SDOH, cultural competence, and health literacy. Implementing such SBE activities into nursing curriculums is critical to address health disparities and increase knowledge and skill in clinical practice for undergraduate nursing students when serving vulnerable and underrepresented populations.

Burn injuries can be a life-shattering event causing significant physical impairment. Burn survivors suffer from changes in appearance and body function. The perception of burn injuries has transformed from permanent disability to now rehabilitative. Through ever-evolving technology coupled with enhanced clinical assessments, burn injuries are seen through the lens of being more than physical. This article aims to keep non-burn experts abreast of what is being done to address the psychological effects of burn injuries. This article discusses different screening and diagnostic instrumentation for assessing posttraumatic stress disorder as well as treatment options for clinicians encountering burn survivors. Early detection of posttraumatic stress disorder symptomology and aggressive treatment are essential in improving the quality of life of those who have suffered a burn trauma.

Objective: To clarify the medical care information nurses share among multiple facilities such as hospitals and visiting nursing stations, specialized nursing homes, and geriatric health service facilities in Japan.Methods: The research design was an exploratory survey study. We administered a questionnaire survey to registered nurses with at least three years of clinical experience from August 2020 to September 2021. Data from 257 participants were analyzed using simple tabulation, chi-square test, and univariate and multivariate analyses. Items that could not be addressed by nursing summaries alone included how to interact with patients and families, activities of daily living, and nursing procedures.Results: The results indicate that nurses require information on nursing procedures, how to interact with patients and their families, and care. Essential nursing summary report items included infectious disease, allergy, medications, final bowel movements, and tube feeding. The essential items that varied across facilities were commissioned physicians, patients’ perspectives on the disease, regular medical examinations, and peripheral symptoms.Conclusions: The summary reports were used to exchange information with other nurses, get confirmation of nursing procedures, and get confirmation of the history of the present illness. In the future, they should include customized content depending on the information requirements of each institution. These results can be used as a reference for the nursing summaries sought by recipients, leading to improved quality of care after a transition.
