Background: In recent years, limited studies have evaluated the development of cultural awareness, sensitivity, skills, communication and competence among nursing students using different models and curricula.
Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a new internationally developed curriculum for transcultural nursing education.
Methods: This mixed methods study was conducted on nursing students (n = 83) who attended a transcultural nursing course from 2021 to 2022 during the fall semester.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates healthcare academics' views on how ChatGPT, an AI language model, influences education and research content.* -
- Interviews with nine university faculty members revealed that while ChatGPT accelerates information access, it sometimes provides outdated or inaccurate data and students misuse it, harming their critical thinking and research skills.* -
- The conclusion emphasizes that despite its advantages, ChatGPT poses challenges related to accuracy and ethics, suggesting that institutions should set guidelines to ensure responsible use and calling for future research on AI's long-term effects in education.*
Aim: This study explores the relationship between cultural intelligence and attitudes towards the intention to migrate among nursing and midwifery students.
Methods: Using a correlational design, data were collected from 804 students through the Student Descriptive Form, The Attitude Scale for Brain Drain in Nursing Students and the Cultural Intelligence Scale. The analysis was conducted using IBM SPSS Statistics and AMOS, employing structural equation modelling and analysis of variance.
Background: Missed nursing care poses a significant challenge for healthcare staff in terms of patient safety and care quality.
Objective: To evaluate presenteeism and missed care attitudes of nurses and to determine the correlation between presenteeism and missed care.
Methods: This descriptive, correlational, and observational study was conducted between February and August 2023.
Background: The integration of concept mapping into nursing education represents a pivotal strategy aimed at enhancing critical thinking skills, which is a necessity in navigating the complexities of healthcare. This educational tool's role in stimulating students' analytical abilities and motivation towards critical thinking has become increasingly relevant in preparing nursing professionals for the dynamic challenges of their field.
Objectives: The aim of this study is to examine how the implementation of concept mapping affects critical thinking motivation among nursing students, investigate the relationship between them, and support its use as an innovative educational strategy in the field of nursing.
Background: The aim of this study was to identify nursing students' fears and emotions and to concretise the metaphors they used to describe their feelings towards the COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods: This study was conducted with nursing students at a foundation university between December 2021 and February 2022 using a sequential mixed methods research design. In the quantitative part of the study, 323 nursing students answered the 'Positive and Negative Emotion Scale' and the 'COVID-19 Fear Scale'.
Background: Patient handover training given to nursing students is important to ensure patient safety. There are a variety of evaluation models that can be used to evaluate the impact of education in nursing, one of which is the Kirkpatrick model.
Objective: This study aims to evaluate the patient handover training given to nursing students according to the Kirkpatrick model.
Background: Given the importance of cultural diversity in healthcare, the shift from "cultural competence" to "cultural humility" has become crucial. This transition is particularly relevant for nursing students in multiethnic regions, such as Southeastern Anatolia, Turkey, where diverse cultural interactions can significantly impact their professional development and practice.
Objective: This study was conducted to determine the cultural humility levels of nursing students.
Objective: To determine the incidence and risk factors of medical device-related pressure injury (MDRPI) in the ICU.
Methods: In this descriptive study, the researchers collected data through systematic observation of patients (n = 58) in the ICU. The patients were evaluated within 24 hours of ICU admission and then followed up until they were discharged.
Background: Several educational activities in nursing schools worldwide have been implemented to promote transcultural nursing and cultural competence. Despite the diversity of their experiences and outcomes, the available evidence has not been systematically reviewed and reinterpreted. This study aimed to review and reinterpret all rigorous qualitative evidence available, providing an opportunity to understand how students learn transcultural nursing and assisting faculties, researchers, managers, and practitioners in designing new interventions to improve transcultural training.

This study aimed to develop a new measurement tool to assess the nursing students' cultural competence and sensitivity.
Methods: This cross-sectional, instrument development study's first phase included postgraduate nursing students (n = 60) for the piloting study, and the second one included undergraduate nursing students (n = 459) for the main survey.
This discussion paper aims to examine the potential benefits and limitations of using artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots in nursing practice, with a particular focus on the ChatGPT example. The study discusses how chatbots can serve as a valuable tool for nurses' continuing education, consultation, and information access. It is suggested that ChatGPT can contribute to enhancing nurses' knowledge and skill levels, providing rapid and accurate information, and improving time management.
