Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how individuals with late effects of polio are impacted by various physical impairments in their daily lives.
- A mixed-methods approach was used, involving a standardized scale for self-reporting impairments and qualitative interviews with 14 participants (7 men and 7 women, average age 70).
- Findings revealed that issues like muscle pain, weakness, and fatigue considerably hindered daily activities, causing distress and limiting social participation.
The value of course evaluations has been debated since they frequently fail to capture the complexity of education and learning. Group Concept Mapping (GCM), a participant-centred mixed-method was explored as a tool for evaluation and development in nursing education and to better understand students' learning experiences, using data from a GCM-based evaluation of a research training assignment integrating clinical practice and research data collection within a Swedish university nursing program. Student nurses (n = 47) participated in a one-day GCM exercise.
