Nurse academics' attitudes towards technology: A mixed methods study.

Background: Technology is being increasing used in education of nursing students. Nurse academics act both as gatekeepers to technology within their classes and as an example of technology attitudes. Therefore, understanding the attitude of academics to technology from the academic's perspective is necessary to understand barriers and enablers of technology engagement.

Dissolution Failure of Solid Oral Drug Products in Field Alert Reports.

From 2005 to 2014, 370 data entries of dissolution failures of solid oral drug products were assessed with respect to the solubility of drug substances, dosage forms [immediate release (IR) vs. modified release (MR)], and manufacturers (brand name vs. generic).

The use and limits of eye-tracking in high-fidelity clinical scenarios: A pilot study.

Aim: To explore the potential of mobile eye-tracking to identify healthcare students' area of visual interest and its relationship to performance ratings.

Background: Eye-tracking identifies an individual's visual attention focus, and has been used as a training technique in medicine and in nursing. In this study participants wore a point of view (PoV) camera within a spectacle frame during simulation education experiences.

Supporting nursing student supervision: An assessment of an innovative approach to supervisor support.

Unlabelled: The responsibility for clinical supervision is recognised by both the nursing literature and the Australian Nursing and Midwifery Council, through an expectation that RNs will provide support and facilitate student learning in the clinical environment (Atack et al., 2000; Gray and Smith, 2000; Brammer, 2005; Australian Nursing and Midwifery Council, 2006; Hallin and Danielson, 2008). RNs identify with and acknowledge the need for the supervisory role and are willing participants however, request strategies to guide and support students in the clinical environment (Bourbonnais and Kerr, 2007; Hallin and Danielson, 2008).

Preparing nursing students for the future: Development and implementation of an Australian Bachelor of Nursing programme with a community health focus.

This paper focuses on changes in the educational preparation of undergraduate nurses in line with contemporary primary and preventative healthcare models. We evaluated a new Australian nursing and community care degree programme using focus groups with 38 students in their first years of study, and quantitative performance data (regarding entry, performance and course attrition). Four main themes were identified related to students' course experience: 'I think community health should be an elective'; 'Focus on relevance to practice'; 'Teaching by non-nursing academics' and 'Access to support during transition to university.

Developing situation awareness amongst nursing and paramedicine students utilizing eye tracking technology and video debriefing techniques: a proof of concept paper.

Objective: The aims of this quasi-experimental before-and-after study were to first determine whether the use of eye tracking technology combined with video debriefing techniques has the potential to improve the quality of feedback and enhance situation awareness (SA) in simulated settings and second to determine students' satisfaction towards simulated learning.

Methods: Nursing and paramedicine students from three universities participated in three 8-minute simulation scenarios of acutely deteriorating patients. Eye tracking glasses video recorded the scenarios and tracked right eye movement.

A comprehensive water management program for multicampus healthcare facilities.

Objective: Develop and implement an effective program for hazard analysis and control of waterborne pathogens at a multicampus hospital with clinics.

Design: A longitudinal study. Several-year study including analysis of results from monitoring and tests of 26 building water systems.

Hoosier Oncology Group randomized phase II study of docetaxel, vinorelbine, and estramustine in combination in hormone-refractory prostate cancer with pharmacogenetic survival analysis.

Purpose: To determine the safety and efficacy of two docetaxel doublets in hormone-refractory prostate cancer (HRPC) patients and to examine the prognostic role of polymorphisms in host genes important to docetaxel metabolism and transport.

Experimental Design: Sixty-four chemotherapy-naive patients with HRPC were randomized to docetaxel and vinorelbine (D, 20 mg/m2 i.v.
