A qualitative study on the perspectives of prenatal breastfeeding educational classes in Ireland: Implications for maternal breastfeeding decisions.

Background: Breastfeeding, acknowledged for its critical health benefits for both infants and mothers, remains markedly underutilized in Ireland, which reports the lowest breastfeeding rates in Europe. Recent data indicate that fewer than 60% of Irish mothers initiate breastfeeding at birth, with this rate precipitously declining in the subsequent weeks postpartum. Various sociocultural, psychological, and educational elements, such as prenatal breastfeeding education, influence this persistently low prevalence.

Short-term conservation education influences Ugandan adolescents' knowledge, attitudes and investment decisions.

Intercultural readiness of nursing students: An integrative review of evidence examining cultural competence educational interventions.

With the mounting reports of culturally insensitive care and the reported challenges nurses experience when caring for culturally diverse patients, developing the intercultural readiness of nursing students is a necessity. However, little is known as to the success of cultural competence educational interventions in undergraduate nursing curricula and there remains a lack of consensus within the literature as to how it should be structured, organised and facilitated. Incorporating an integrative review method, this study synthesised international research on educational interventions used in preparing student nurses to care for culturally diverse patients.

Enhancing undergraduate nursing curricula to cultivate person-centred care for culturally and linguistically diverse older people.

With an ageing global community and widening socio-cultural diversity, nurse educators are increasingly challenged to align responsive undergraduate nursing curricula to rapidly changing healthcare environments. In future-proofing nurse education, educators need to collectively examine ways of interconnecting and developing gerontological and cultural competence within undergraduate curricula. However, there is limited guidance as to how this can be achieved in already compacted curricula.
