Background: Women in South Africa are battling the scourge of intimate partner violence (IPV), and men are usually responsible. Despite this, no studies have been carried out to specifically explore and describe Christian women's IPV first-hand experiences in the Limpopo and Gauteng provinces.
Aim: This study explored and described lived experiences with regard to IPV among women attending Pentecostal churches in Limpopo and Gauteng provinces.
Background: The increasing availability of technology devices or portable digital assistant devices continues to change the teaching-learning landscape, including technology-supported learning. Portable digital assistants and technology usage have become an integral part of teaching and learning nowadays. Cloud computing, which includes YouTube, Google Apps, Dropbox and Twitter, has become the reality of today's teaching and learning and has noticeably improved higher education, including nursing education.

These ever growing and developing modes of teaching and learning have changed the landscape of higher education, in general. As a result, nursing education has equally responded positively to the use of information technology for teaching and learning.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Despite the wide use of preceptorship, there is evidence that preceptorship and the role of preceptor in clinical nursing education are not clearly understood or supported.
Objectives: To develop a preceptorship model to facilitate clinical nursing education in Botswana.
Method: The model development in this study followed the steps of theory generation as described by Chinn and Kramer.
Background: The need to achieve school health and promote well-being that would transcend children's school life has been highlighted in several studies. Promotion of health and well-being of children has not been achieved despite the prescripts of the World Health Organization and national mandates.
Objectives: The purpose of this systematic review was to explore and describe the current evidence on the dissemination and implementation of a policy on school health in public schools.
Article Synopsis
- There is a significant disparity in school healthcare between public and private schools in rural Nigeria, largely due to poor policy implementation in public schools.
- This study aims to create a conceptual framework that enhances the dissemination and implementation of school health policies, which could ultimately improve health behaviors and academic outcomes for students.
- The proposed framework includes six components: context, agents, recipients, processes, dynamics, and effective policy dissemination, which collectively support better health for public school children.
Background: The idea of collaboration between key stakeholders in nursing education for the implementation of problem-based learning (PBL) may have far-reaching implications for the institutions and students.
Main Objective: To develop a model of collaboration to facilitate the implementation of PBL in nursing education.
Methodology: An exploratory sequential design was used.
Objectives: The purpose of this concept analysis was to better understand and define collaboration as it relates to the implementation of problem-based learning (PBL).
Methods: The process of concept analysis was conducted in three phases; namely, theoretical or literature review, empirical or fieldwork; and analysis phases. Rodgers' evolutionary approach was used to clarify the attributes, antecedents, surrogate, related terms and consequences of collaboration in implementing PBL.
