The meaning and application of student-centered learning in nursing education: An integrative review of the literature.

Aim: The aim of this study was to review empirical articles to explore the meaning and the application of student-centered learning in nursing education.

Background: Teachers in higher education are encouraged to adopt student-centered learning principles, but research shows that many still apply teacher-centered methods. There is therefore a need to clarify the meaning of student-centered learning, including how it is performed and the reasons to apply it in nursing education.

Antibiotic use in children under 5 years of age in Northern Tanzania: a qualitative study exploring the experiences of the caring mothers.

Background: Antimicrobial resistance is a serious threat to the global achievements in child health thus far. Previous studies have found high use of antibiotics in children in Northern Tanzania, but the experiences of the primary care-givers, who play a key role in accessing and administering antibiotics for the sick child, have remained largely unknown. Therefore, the aim of this study was to understand mothers' conceptions of antibiotic use in their children, which is of importance when forming strategies to improve antibiotic use in the community.

Visual arts and drawings to communicate and explore authentic life situations, a data collection method in caring science - a hermeneutic perspective.

This methodological article aims to describe three methodological strategies for using drawings as a part of qualitative data collection methods in caring research based on hermeneutics. In some research interview situations, participants may have difficulties to express their experiences and feelings in words. The consequences may be that the descriptions in research reports will become superficial and not authentic, meaning, "telling it as it is".

Framing healthcare professionals in written adverse events: A discourse analysis.

Healthcare professionals have a major responsibility to protect patients from harm. Despite vast efforts to decrease the number of adverse events, the progression of patient safety has internationally been acknowledged as slow. From a social construction perspective, it has been argued that the understanding of patient safety is contextual based on historical and structural rules, and that this meaning construction points out different directions of possible patient safety actions.

Managing conflict situations nursing students encounter during their clinical practice, narrated and performed through Forum Play.

Aim: To describe and illuminate conflict situations nursing students encounter during their clinical practice, narrated and performed through Forum Play.

Background: Conflicts are common in healthcare settings and affect patient care and the wellbeing of nurses. To be able to manage complex practice situations, conflict management is an essential competence for nurses and should be highlighted during education.

Learning Outcome After Different Combinations of Seven Learning Activities in Basic Life Support on Laypersons in Workplaces: a Cluster Randomised, Controlled Trial.

Background: The goal for laypersons after training in basic life support (BLS) is to act effectively in an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest situation. However, it is still unclear whether BLS training targeting laypersons at workplaces is optimal or whether other effective learning activities are possible.

Aim: The primary aim was to evaluate whether there were other modes of BLS training that improved learning outcome as compared with a control group, i.

Aims: To identify clusters based on graduating nursing students' self-reported professional competence and their achievement on a national examination. Furthermore, to describe and compare the identified clusters regarding sample characteristics, students' perceptions of overall quality of the nursing programme, and students' general self-efficacy (GSE).

Design: A cross-sectional study combining survey data and results from a national examination.

Supplementary dataset to self-learning training compared with instructor-led training in basic life support.

In this article, we present supplementary data to the article entitled "Self-learning training versus instructor-led training in basic life support: a cluster randomised trial" [1]. In three supplementary files, we present the informed consent of the included participants, the modified instrument to calculate the total score for practical skills called "the Cardiff Test of basic life support and automated external defibrillation" and the questionnaire to obtain background factors, theoretical knowledge, self-assessed knowledge and confidence and willingness to act, distributed directly after training and six months after training. The results of comparisons between "directly after intervention" and "six months after intervention", for each training group separately, are presented in three tables.

Effectiveness of web-based education in addition to basic life support learning activities: A cluster randomised controlled trial.

Background: Effective education in basic life support (BLS) may improve the early initiation of high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation and automated external defibrillation (CPR-AED).

Aim: To compare the learning outcome in terms of practical skills and knowledge of BLS after participating in learning activities related to BLS, with and without web-based education in cardiovascular diseases (CVD).

Methods: Laymen (n = 2,623) were cluster randomised to either BLS education or to web-based education in CVD before BLS training.

Written reports of adverse events in acute care-A discourse analysis.

Adverse health care events are a global public health issue despite major efforts, and they have been acknowledged as a complex concern. The aim of this study was to explore the construction of unsafe care using accounts of adverse events concerning the patient, as reported by patients, relatives, and health care professionals. Twenty-nine adverse events reported in an acute care setting in a Swedish university hospital were analyzed through discourse analysis, where the construction of what was considered to be real and true in the descriptions of unsafe care was analyzed.

Aim: To compare the effectiveness of two basic life support (BLS) training interventions.

Methods: This experimental trial enrolled 1301 lay people in BLS training. The participants were cluster randomised to either self-learning training or to traditional instructor-led training.

Learning About Conflict and Conflict Management Through Drama in Nursing Education.

Background: In the health care settings in which nurses work, involvement in some form of conflict is inevitable. The ability to manage conflicts is therefore necessary for nursing students to learn during their education.

Method: A qualitative analysis of 43 written group assignments was undertaken using a content analysis approach.

Nursing students experiences of learning about nursing through drama.

The ability to understand, interact and create a caring relationship with the patient is a core component in nursing. A shift in nursing education from traditional classroom teaching towards more experiential approaches should be encouraged as this will support learning that links theory with practice. The aim of this study was to describe nursing students' experiences of learning about nursing through drama.

Disaster nursing: Self-reported competence of nursing students and registered nurses, with focus on their readiness to manage violence, serious events and disasters.

The World Health Organization and the International Council of Nurses recognises the importance of nurses' involvement in disaster preparedness and response. The aim of this study was to describe and compare self-reported disaster nursing competence (DNC) among nursing students (NSs) and among registered nurses (RNs) with professional experience. Further to investigate possible associations between self-reported DNC and background factors.

Dental nurses' experiences of performing a school-based fluoride varnish programme for children and adolescents in Sweden.

In many parts of Sweden today, school-based fluoride varnish programmes (FVP) are perfor- med by dental nurses. Studies have shown that the dental personnel are largely responsible for creating the atmosphere related to children's and adolescents'experiences of the program- mes. Knowledge of dental nurses'experiences of performing FVP is therefore crucial in order to develop and improve these programmes and the dental health of children and adolescents.

The Nurse Professional Competence (NPC) Scale: Self-reported competence among nursing students on the point of graduation.

Background: International organisations, e.g. WHO, stress the importance of competent registered nurses (RN) for the safety and quality of healthcare systems.

The use and application of drama in nursing education--an integrative review of the literature.

Background: Caring is grounded on universal humanistic values such as kindness, empathy, concern and love for self and others. Nurses need to learn how to implement these values in the care for patients. Nursing students find it hard to assimilate theoretical knowledge in practice.

Patients' experiences and feelings before undergoing peripheral percutaneous transluminal angioplasty.

The use of interventional radiology as treatment has increased dramatically and peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is now a common indication for vascular interventions such as percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA).(1) PAD seriously impairs quality of life, and patients experience a lack of control over the disease. The aim of this study was to identify patients who are predominantly anxious or calm before PTA treatment and to explore reasons for these feelings.
