Students' experiences with a hybrid learning environment in nursing homes: A qualitative study.

Aim: The aim of this study is to explore how students experience learning in a hybrid learning environment in a nursing home setting and their perceptions of relationship-centred care.

Background: Nursing homes are undergoing a culture shift from task-centred care to person- and relationship-centred care, requiring a different approach to how nursing home staff work and are educated. Hybrid learning environments aim to educate professionals who continuously work on their professional development by integrating and merging learning and working to facilitate the culture shift.

Detection of atrial fibrillation in primary care with radial pulse palpation, electronic blood pressure measurement and handheld single-lead electrocardiography: a diagnostic accuracy study.

Objective: To determine the diagnostic accuracy of three tests-radial pulse palpation, an electronic blood pressure monitor and a handheld single-lead ECG device-for opportunistic screening for unknown atrial fibrillation (AF).

Design: We performed a diagnostic accuracy study in the intention-to-screen arm of a cluster randomised controlled trial aimed at opportunistic screening for AF in general practice. We performed radial pulse palpation, followed by electronic blood pressure measurement (WatchBP Home A) and handheld ECG (MyDiagnostick) in random order.

Process evaluation of a programme to empower community nurse leadership.

Background: The Nurses in the Lead (NitL) programme consists of a systematic approach and training to 1) empower community nurses in implementing evidence, targeted at encouraging functional activities of older adults, and 2) train community nurses in enabling team members to change their practice. This article aims to describe the process evaluation of NitL.

Methods: A mixed-methods formative process evaluation with a predominantly qualitative approach was conducted.

The content of the nurses in the lead programme for empowering community nurse leadership in implementing evidence.

Purpose: This study aims to provide a detailed description of the nurses in the lead (NitL) programme for empowering community nurse leadership in implementing evidence.

Design/methodology/approach: The NitL programme is described using the template for intervention description and replication-checklist.

Findings: The NitL programme consists of two components.

The perceived behavior and barriers of community care professionals in encouraging functional activities of older adults: the development and validation of the MAINtAIN-C questionnaire.

Background: Community care professionals need to encourage older adults in performing functional activities to maintain independence. However, professionals often perform functional activities on behalf of older adults. To change this, insights into the behavior and barriers of professionals in encouraging activities are required.
