Effectiveness of Interdisciplinary Teaching on Creativity: A Quasi-Experimental Study.

Little is known about the effectiveness of Interdisciplinary teaching (IDT) in higher education, particularly for healthcare education in Taiwan. It is vital to determine if IDT could enhance divergent creative thinking and team creativity among nursing students. A quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest design.

Predictors of individually perceived levels of team creativity for teams of nursing students in Taiwan: A cross-sectional study.

Background: The complexity of healthcare and concurrent advances in technology have promoted Interprofessional Education (IPE) in healthcare schools to prepare students to collaborate on interdisciplinary teams. Since 2016, healthcare curricula in Taiwan have incorporated IPE-based capstone courses to enhance creativity. To better understand the predictors of team creativity could help educators improve IPE and outcomes for nursing students and patients.

Conflict and interactions on interdisciplinary nursing student teams: The moderating effects of spontaneous communication.

Background: Recently, empirical researchers have observed direct associations between conflict and interaction behaviors within organizational teams. However, research concerning indirect links between conflict and interaction behaviors on interdisciplinary teams in nursing school is scant, particularly in Taiwan.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to explore the relationships among various types of conflict and interaction behaviors on interdisciplinary nursing education teams.

Predictors of self-perceived levels of creative teaching behaviors among nursing school faculty in Taiwan: A preliminary study.

Background: Many nursing programs include a capstone project as part of the nursing curriculum. In Taiwan, these courses involve development of healthcare products. A student's success can depend on faculty's ability to employ creative teaching behaviors.

Effect of creativity training on teaching for creativity for nursing faculty in Taiwan: A quasi-experimental study.

Background: Creativity and innovation are considered important core competencies in Taiwan for nursing students. Teachers play a critical role in the development of student creativity. Although studies have investigated creativity training, there is no consensus on how best to evaluate the effectiveness of the training.

Perceived Self-Efficacy of Teaching for Creativity Among Nurse Faculty in Taiwan: A Preliminary Study.

Many health care education programs, particularly those in Taiwan, have begun offering capstone product-based curricula, not only to improve nursing students' problem-solving skills but also to foster creativity and innovation regarding health care issues. This study used a cross-sectional quantitative design to explore the efficacy of teaching for creativity among nurse faculty in Taiwan. Results showed knowledge of intellectual property rights was low, as was ability to creatively evaluate trademark and patent designs.

Creative teaching behaviors of health care school teachers in Taiwan: mediating and moderating effects.

Background: Considerable attention has been paid to the variables for creative abilities of teachers and the creative climate of the schools in which they teach, as well as the direct relationships between these variables. However, research on the indirect links between these variables concerning creativity in higher education has been limited. Researches on creative teaching behaviors among health care teachers are scant, particularly in Taiwan.

Structures, molecular orbitals and UV-vis spectra investigations on methyl 1-benzyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxylate: a computational study.

The methyl 1-benzyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxylate (C11H11N3O2) has been studied by theoretically methods. The structure of this compound is optimized by density functional theory (DFT), the second-order Møller-Plesset perturbation theory (MP2) and G3 theory (G3(MP2)) levels. Our calculation results are in very good agreement with experimental values.

A DFT study on structures, frontier molecular orbitals and UV-vis spectra of RuX(PPh3)(NHCPh2)L (X=Tp and Cp; L=Cl and N3).

Geometry optimization for RuX(PPh3)(NHCPh2)(L) (X=hydridotris(pyrazolyl)borate (Tp) and cyclopentadiene (Cp); L=Cl and N3) are investigated by using density functional theory (DFT) with DZVP2/DZVP all-electron mixed basis sets and compared with available experimental values, and the calculated structures are in very good agreement with experimental data. The frontier molecular orbitals (FMOs) and electronic transitions have been investigated as well. Our calculations show that the π electron-rich ligand (N3) may increase the energies of occupied orbitals and reduce the energy gap of the HOMO-LUMO (ΔEL-H) in these ruthenium based complexes.
