Factors influencing Australian nursing and midwifery students COVID-19 vaccination intentions.

Background: Vaccination for COVID-19 has become a cornerstone management plan for many countries. Australian state governments made vaccinations mandatory for all healthcare workers. Despite evidence on the important role vaccines hold in preventing or decreasing serious disease, there have been many nurses and midwives who have demonstrated vaccine hesitancy.

Perioperative temperature monitoring for patient safety: A period prevalence study of five hospitals.

Background: Monitoring body temperature is essential for safe perioperative care. Without patient monitoring during each surgical phase, alterations in core body temperature will not be recognised, prevented, or treated. Safe use of warming interventions also depends on monitoring.

Associations between health behaviors and mental health in Australian nursing students.

Aim: Nursing students experience high levels of stress, anxiety and depression. This study examined associations between health behaviors and stress, anxiety and depression in Australian nursing students.

Associations between health-related quality of life and health behaviors in Australian nursing students.

Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is being increasingly studied as an indicator of wellbeing. This study evaluated the HRQoL of nursing students and relationships between lifestyle behaviors including smoking, diet, alcohol intake and physical activity. A cross-sectional study was conducted in 2018 using the Short-Form 12V2 to measure the HRQoL of 475 students from both regional and metropolitan universities in Queensland, Australia.

Nursing and paramedicine student and academic perceptions of the two phase debrief model: A thematic analysis.

Simulation debriefing standards and models recommend simulation facilitators spend time debriefing learner feelings and clinical reasoning following the simulation scenario. Many debriefing models are available, more so in nursing than in paramedicine, however few models combine specific frameworks to debrief learner feelings and unpack cognitive decisions. The Two Phase Debrief model was designed to support debriefers to spend equal amounts of time debriefing learner felt reactions and clinical decision making, guided by specific tools and skills for each phase.

Barriers to healthy lifestyle behaviors in Australian nursing students: A qualitative study.

Studying at university is stressful, which can lead to unhealthy lifestyle behaviors. This study aimed to explore perceived reasons and barriers preventing Australian nursing students from engaging in a healthy lifestyle and strategies to overcome barriers. Fifty-four bachelor of nursing students participated in seven focus groups between July and November 2018.

Association between dietary patterns and sociodemographics: A cross-sectional study of Australian nursing students.

Lack of time, financial issues, and stressful clinical and educational environments in nursing studies promote higher intakes of convenience and fast foods loaded with fat and sugar, which are linked to reduced mental and physical health. In this study, we examined the dietary patterns of nursing students and their associated sociodemographic factors to inform the development of future health-promotion interventions. A total of 548 Bachelor of Nursing students were invited to complete a survey.

Use of healthcare consumer voices to increase empathy in nursing students.

Nurses need to be well prepared to address the needs of a diverse population and facilitate positive experiences in an equitable and inclusive approach to care. The aim of the study was to determine whether the integration of consumer lived experience interviews into the content of a first-year course influenced empathy in nursing students. A one group pre-test, post-test design was used.
