Background: Conflict among nurses within the healthcare system negatively impacts them and patient outcomes. Therefore, it is essential to prepare nursing students for conflict resolution in clinical practice.

Objectives: This study aimed to develop a conflict resolution training program based on the situated learning theory (SLT) for nursing students and to verify the impact of the program on abilities of communication, problem-solving, and conflict resolution.

Design: This quasi-experimental study was conducted using a non-randomized control group pretest and posttest design.

Settings: A college of nursing with the main campus in South Korea.

Participants: The subjects were 48 senior nursing students in the last semester of their nursing program.

Methods: The program was developed based on the SLT. It was delivered to the experimental group (90 min per session, a total of eight sessions) while the control group received no intervention. Data were analyzed with χ-test, Fisher's exact test, unpaired t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, repeated-measures ANOVA, and Bonferroni correction using SPSS/WIN 25.0 program.

Results: There were significant interactions between group and time in problem-solving ability (p = 0.048) and subjective conflict resolution ability (p = 0.005). Problem-solving ability and subjective conflict resolution ability in the experimental group significantly improved compared to the control group based on post-hoc test. After the program, objective conflict resolution ability was significantly higher in the experimental group than the control group (p < 0.001). For communication ability, there was a significant interaction between group and time (p = 0.046). However, it showed no significant difference between the two groups in a post-hoc test.

Conclusions: The conflict resolution training program based on the SLT was found to be effective in improving the abilities of problem-solving and conflict resolution of nursing students.

(background): With the highest 5-year recurrence rate among malignancies, bladder cancer is a relatively common type of cancer that typically originates from the urothelial cells lining the bladder. Additionally, bladder cancer is one of the most financially burdensome neoplasms to medical institutions in terms of management. Hence, prompt identification and accurate handling of bladder cancer are pivotal for enhancing patient prognosis.

Social psychological research on race and racism has shown that claims about racism are not always accepted or received as valid reports. In this paper, I offer racial epistemics as one mechanism by which race-talk takes place. I examine how ascribing category-bound entitlements to experiential or other knowledge about racism is variously realised and complicated in the production of claims about racism.

Temperature Dependence on Microstructure, Crystallization Orientation, and Piezoelectric Properties of ZnO Films.

Sensors (Basel)

January 2025

State Key Laboratory of Materials Processing and Die & Mould Technology, School of Materials Science and Engineering, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan 430074, China.

This study has investigated the effects of different annealing temperatures on the microstructure, chemical composition, phase structure, and piezoelectric properties of ZnO films. The analysis focuses on how annealing temperature influences the oxygen content and the preferred c-axis (002) orientation of the films. It was found that annealing significantly increases the grain size and optimizes the columnar crystal structure, though excessive high-temperature annealing leads to structural degradation.
