AI Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated nursing students' satisfaction with the clinical learning environment in Oman, using a sample of 310 undergraduates.
- The research found significant positive relationships between satisfaction and factors such as leadership style, nurse commitment, and student age.
- The findings suggest that enhancing clinical placements through attention to these factors can improve educational experiences for nursing students.
Article Abstract
Background: Clinical nursing education provides baccalaureate nursing students an opportunity to combine cognitive, psychomotor, and affective skills in the Middle East.
Objective: The aim of the paper is to assess the satisfaction with and effectiveness of the clinical learning environment among nursing students in Oman.
Design: A cross-sectional descriptive design was used.
Setting And Participants: A convenience sample consisting of 310 undergraduate nursing students was selected in a public school of nursing in Oman.
Methods: Ethical approval was obtained from the Research and Ethics Committee, College of Nursing in 2011. A standardized, structured, validated and reliable Clinical Learning Environment Supervision Teacher Evaluation instrument was used. Informed consent was obtained from all the students. Data was analyzed with ANOVA and structural equation modeling.
Results: Satisfaction with the clinical learning environment (CLE) sub-dimensions was highly significant and had a positive relationship with the total clinical learning environment. In the path model 35% of its total variance of satisfaction with CLE is accounted by leadership style, clinical nurse commitment (variance=28%), and patient relationships (R(2)=27%). Higher age, GPA and completion of a number of clinical courses were significant in the satisfaction with the CLE among these students.
Conclusions: Nurse educators can improvise clinical learning placements focusing on leadership style, premises of learning and nursing care, nurse teacher, and supervision while integrating student, teacher and environmental factors. Hence the clinical learning environment is integral to students' learning and valuable in providing educational experiences.
Relevance To Practice: The CLE model provides information to nurse educators regarding best clinical practices for improving the CLE for BSN students.

Accurate detection of cardiac arrhythmias is crucial for preventing premature deaths. The current study employs a dual-stage Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) and a median filter to eliminate noise from ECG signals. Subsequently, ECG signals are segmented, and QRS regions are extracted for further preprocessing.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to gauge the impacts of cognitive empathy training experiential learning on traumatic brain injury (TBI) knowledge, awareness, confidence, and empathy in a pilot study of speech-language pathology graduate students.
Method: A descriptive quasi-experimental convergent parallel mixed methods design intervention pilot study (QUAL + QUANT) was conducted with a diverse convenience sample of 19 first- and second-year speech-language pathology graduate students who engaged in a half-day TBI point-of-view simulation. The simulation was co-constructed through a participatory design with those living with TBI based on Kolb's experiential learning model and followed the recommendations for point-of-view simulation ethics.

Introduction: Evidence-based practices (EBPs) use evidence (external and internal), clinician expertise, and client/caregiver perspectives to deliver effective, individualized care. Each component of EBP is highly relevant and most effective when implemented together. Families with cultural or linguistic backgrounds different from the mainstream experience inequitable treatment across all disciplines.

Human amniotic epithelial cells (hAECs) have shown excellent efficacy in clinical research and have prospective applications in the treatment of many diseases. However, the properties of the hAECs and their proliferative mechanisms remain unclear. Here, single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) is performed on hAECs obtained from amniotic tissues at different gestational ages and passages during in vitro culture.

Background: Digital biomarkers are increasingly used in clinical decision support for various health conditions. Speech features as digital biomarkers can offer insights into underlying physiological processes due to the complexity of speech production. This process involves respiration, phonation, articulation, and resonance, all of which rely on specific motor systems for the preparation and execution of speech.
