The aim of the study was to compare the annual incidence of selected VPCDs in the EU (European Union) and EFTA (European Free Trade Association) countries in the period of the last 5 years (2014-2019 or other intervals, depending on data availability), and the country-specific vaccine schedules.
Methods: VPCD incidence rates in Europe were based on "The Surveillance Atlas of Infectious Diseases" by the ECDC (European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control); vaccination schedules were based on ECDC reports.
Aims: This study was to determine if there is a greater difference in Advanced Practice student nurse self-reported transition towards practice and professional identity for an experimental group compared with a control group. The information gathered is expected to: (a) provide a curriculum baseline for focused clinical objectives as well as preceptor training, and (b) to meet these objectives in alignment with the expectations for graduation and subsequent post-graduation transition into practice.
Design: Pilot exploration using quasi-experimental, mixed methods included a quantitative five-point Likert Scale and a self-reported qualitative phenomenological analysis.
