Abstract

Simulation has been shown to offer nursing students supplemental learning experiences outside of regular clinical settings. However, these learning experiences are primarily conducted with faculty serving as the patient voice, leading the scenario and prompting nursing actions. As students function within the scenario, psychomotor, cognitive, and affective learning occur within the context of the nurse's role. Little is known about whether student participation as the patient increases the self-efficacy of students' abilities to enhance their understanding of the patient's experience during a deteriorating patient simulation scenario. The purpose of the study is to examine students' self-reported evaluations of simulation sessions. Secondary data from a simulation evaluation tool will be examined with a mixed-method, descriptive, and comparative design to determine if students reported increased self-efficacy following student-led, compared to faculty-led, high-fidelity patient simulation sessions. Findings from this study will help determine the need for more innovative pedagogy to support learning outcomes.

Abstract

The philosophy of the quality of work life is a set of principles that hold people as the most important resource in organizations. They are trustworthy, responsible, and capable of making a valuable contribution. As such, they should be treated with dignity and respect. The elements relevant to an individual's quality of work life include the task, the physical work environment, and the social environment within the organization, the administrative system, and the relationship between life on and off the job. Nurses are one of the most powerful pillars of the healthcare delivery system, providing people with safe, affordable, and high-quality services. However, nurses often experience high levels of job stress, burnout, and dissatisfaction with their work, which can have negative consequences for themselves, their patients, and the healthcare system. It states that prioritizing the philosophy of quality of work life in nursing practice is critical for enhancing nurses' well-being and ability to provide high-quality care to patients.

Abstract

The menopausal transition is a challenging phase in a woman's life and has been compounded by the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aimed to examine the association between meaning in life, quality of life, and satisfaction with life among perimenopausal women during the pandemic, as well as to determine if there was a difference in attitudes towards life between working and non-working perimenopausal women. The study sample consisted of 114 perimenopausal women, with 64 being employed and 50 being non-employed. A quantitative cross-sectional design was employed, and the results showed that satisfaction with life was positively correlated with both meaning in life and quality of life. Working perimenopausal women had a higher level of satisfaction with life (mean score of 63.24) as compared to non-working perimenopausal women (mean score of 50.14), but there was no significant difference in quality of life or meaning in life between the two groups. The study highlights the impact of various social and personal factors on how women perceive their lives during the pandemic and underscores the need for increased support and resources for perimenopausal women in the workplace. Additionally, promoting menopause awareness in general and in the workplace could help to reduce social barriers and improve women's perspectives on life, leading to an improvement in their overall quality of life and satisfaction with life. This study insisted on the need for giving importance to this stage in women's life-rather passing it just like that. Policy makers in the HR field should make a note to the finding and incorporate necessary amendment in terms of the female workforce.

Abstract

This study aims to assess the factors that contribute to sexual dysfunction among cancer patients in selected hospitals in the city, as well as the coping strategies they adopt to deal with the issue. The study will use a mixed-methods approach, with both quantitative and qualitative data collection and analysis. Quantitative data will be collected using a standardised questionnaire administered to cancer patients, which will gather information on their sexual function and quality of life. Qualitative data will be collected through in-depth interviews with cancer patients to gain a more detailed understanding of their experiences with sexual dysfunction and coping strategies. The study's findings will be useful in identifying interventions that can help cancer patients manage sexual dysfunction and improve their quality of life.

Abstract

Parenting is the biggest sacrifice one can make. It is putting you on hold to fulfill the promise of your child's tomorrow. Parents' presence acts as a morale catalyst during the treatment of a sick child. Although parental involvement in the treatment of hospitalised children is now regarded as essential, it remains one of the concepts on which there is no agreement. Parents' involvement and care during the procedures for hospitalised children also defines how parental involvement alleviates parent-child anxiety and prevents post-traumatic stress disorder. On the contrary, parental presence violates the privacy of healthcare team members and also increases their anxiety.
