One of the educational approaches to creating long-term learning in inclusive is spaced learning. Spaced learning consists of three or more training sessions in which information is presented over time and at intervals. The present study was conducted to investigate the effect of basic life support (BLS) training through spaced E-learning on the knowledge and satisfaction of nursing students. Methods In this quasi-experimental study with two groups, 106 undergraduate nursing students of Alborz University of Medical Sciences in Iran participated. The control group (n = 47) received BLS training with massed E-learning in one three-hour session, and the intervention group (n = 59) received spaced E-learning in three one-hour sessions. An electronic questionnaire including demographic information and a pre-test of BLS knowledge were sent to both groups. Also, immediately after re...

This study aims to investigate the effect of micro-learning on the knowledge of managing trauma patients and learning satisfaction in nursing students. Methods The convenience sampling method was used to enroll 30 final-year nursing students from Alborz University of Medical Sciences in this quasi experimental One-group pretest -posttest design. The educational content was created and repeated 4 times over the course of 36 days using a micro-learning approach through whiteboard animations, video casts, and live videos. MCQ scenario-based exam was used to assess participants’ knowledge of trauma in three phases: pretest, immediately following the intervention, and one month after the end of the educational program. An e-learning satisfaction psychometric questionnaire was used to measure satisfaction. Results The mean knowledge score 1 ...

The objective of the current study was to investigate the effects of self-reflective practice on cognitive emotion regulation and resilience of mothers of preterm infants in the NICU. Methods & Materials: A total of 90 mothers whose preterm infants were admitted to NICU enrolled in the current non-randomized clinical trial study by convenience sampling (n=45 in each group). The data of the control group were gathered prior to the intervention group. Pre- and post-test data were gathered using the demographic questionnaire, the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire, and the Conner and Davidson Resilience Scale. Self–reflection practice was designed and conducted based on Gibbs' reflective cycle for the intervention group, which applied a blended model (face-to-face and virtual). Statistical analysi...

To change attitude and function, traditional educational methods are not effective versus active models. This study conducted to comparison of two active learning educational models; roleplaying with jurisprudential inquiry model Methods: In this quasi-experimental study, 79 nursing students were selected by stage sampling. Half of them received their education via role-playing and the other half student received it by jurisprudential inquiry model. Data collected via a writing test in two stages. The test designed and validated according to ethical reasoning resources and analyzed with SPSS software. Results: Paired t-test did not show any significant difference between mean scores of ethics in four weeks after education with three months later. Mean score of professional ethics in related with colleges, three months after education, showed a significant difference among jurisprudential inq...

Maternity for the first time can be stressful and also can increase anxiety in women. Objectives: The present study aimed to determine the effect of an empowerment training program on the difficulty of transitioning to parenting as well as parenting stress of primiparous mothers. Methods: The sample of this quasi-experimental study consisted of 78 primiparous women who were selected due to convenient sampling. Participants completed the demographic, difficulty in transition to parenting, and parenting stress questionnaires before and after the study. The participants received four training sessions (the first session was face to face at 3-5 days after childbirth and subsequent training sessions were conducted by telephone at 2, 4, and 6 weeks postpartum) based on the self-efficacy model. Results: The mean age of the participants in the study was 27.012 ± 4.99 years....

The preceptorship model for improving nursing education via action research approach is assessed in the study. Methods: This study was conducted by action research method. Daily communications and monthly joint meetings were held from November 2015 to July 2016 for planning and management. Data were gathered via observation.

In qualitative phase of study in-depth interview was conducted with 20 people including 15 students, 4 nurses and 1 nursing manager. In the quantitative phase all of the 42 students participated and their performance was assessed by OSCE. Also students' satisfaction was examined by questionnaire. Three actions were developed and implemented. Qualitative data analysis was done by MAXQUDA software and SPSS was used for quantitative data analysis. Results: Preceptors' characteristics, clinical structure, communication between faculty and clinical environment were emerged from qualitative analysis.The most scores obtained from intravenous therapy and cardiopulmonary resuscitation stations, so that more than 55 percent of students were on the whole excellent and good. The lowest scores were reported in the history and nursing diagnoses and performances of 30 percent of the students were good, 42 percent 28 percent were moderate and poor respectively. Conclusion: Our finding as a preliminary action research study are valubale implications to address challenges and also barriers to implement the preceptorship model in clinical education .

The present Cross sectional, descriptive analytic study was conducted on 70 nurses and 50 patients in two hospitals affiliated to Alborz University of Medical Sciences, in 2012. Two separate questionnaires were used for nurses and patients, and the reliability and validity of the questionnaires were assessed. In both groups of nurses and patients, nurse-related factors (mean scores of 2.45 and 2.15, respectively) and common factors between nurses and patients (mean scores of 1.85 and 1.96, respectively) were considered the most and least significant factors, respectively. Also, a significant difference was observed between the mean scores of nurses and patients regarding patient-related (p=0.001), nurse-related (p=0.012), and environmental factors (p=0.019). Despite the attention of nurses and patients to communication, there are some barriers, which can be removed through raising the awareness of nurses and patients along with creating a desirable environment. We recommend that nurses be effectively trained in communication skills and be encouraged by constant monitoring of the obtained skills.
