Abstract

It is always challenging for nursing faculties to prepare nursing students for successful transition from student life to the real world of nursing practice. Preceptorship is considered as an essential support for final year nursing students and newly graduate nurses in their first year of clinical practice. There is significant need to introduce and enhance nurse preceptor role in nursing education so that nursing student learn to deal with real life scenarios related to patient care. This article designed to provide overview about preceptors and preceptorship model that will result in creating positive learning environment not only for preceptee but for preceptor as well. Through literature review and authors own experience as a preceptor and student, this article will suggest possible strategies for human resource, nursing services department, unit managers and faculty level so that preceptorship can be implementing in a better manner.

Abstract

Preterm birth is one of the most common adverse pregnancy outcomes and it is associated with infant mortality.Preterm birth is a global issue, irrespective of region or the level of resources. The rate of preterm delivery ranges from 5% in developed countries to 25% in developing countries. Prematurity and its complications account for almost 30 percent of neonatal deaths. Preterm infants are also at a greater risk of serious health problems, such as cerebral palsy, blindness, breathing problems, and cognitive learning disabilities. Various socioeconomic and psychological factors contribute towards preterm birth therefore early intervention could prevent preterm birth. Nurses can play an important role in educated mothers about the sign and symptoms of preterm birth labor

Abstract

In India one third of all newborn infants are preterm and low birth weights (LBW). Most of the newborn deaths are due to hypothermia and about 42 percent, 3.6 million develop moderate to severe hypothermia. Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) is a special way of caring of new born infants to foster their health and well being by promoting effective thermal control, breastfeeding, infection prevention and bonding. Multipurpose health workers (MPHWs) have a significant role in care of mother and child during prenatal, perinatal and postnatal period. Therefore, they need to have a vast knowledge and good attitude to deliver care to them.

Abstract

There are certain challenges facing by the students and faculty members in large class format. Larger classes are noisier, and that pushing, crowding, and hitting occur more often in larger classes than smaller. Class size has many effects on students’ engagement, behaviour, and student retention. The purpose of this paper is to identify effective teaching/ learning strategies for large class room from student’s perspective. Focused group interview was conducted to explore the feelings of students in depth. Faculties’ views were understood through survey by asking the same questions. Nine students and six faculty members teaching to different programs were randomly selected. Themes were emerged from the data collected. In conclusion, small group activity, videos, and discussion should be used for effective teaching/ learning in large class format. So that the students may actively involved and participate in the class which will enhance their learning, critical thinking and problem solving abilities.

Abstract

Ethical dilemmas can be well-thought-out by using various viewpoints, each with its own set of values and preference. Nurses face numerous challenges surrounding ethical dilemmas every day and these contrast among vital life and death decisions that have to be taken in a matter of seconds. In this paper to follow, I will discuss a reflective account of an ethical dilemma encountered while on a clinical placement. The dilemma is identified and analysed from a professional and ethical perspective. Also, best solution and recommendations are presented which are grounded on ethical principles and which are also informed by the professional code of conduct.

Abstract

Violence can be defined as a pattern of behavior in any relationship that is used to gain or maintain power and control over an intimate partner. Violence against women takes many forms, including domestic Violence, sexual abuse, human trafficking and traditional practices like dowry-related violence and honour killings. Literature revealed that a total of 8,539 cases of violence against women were reported in Pakistan in 2011. Domestic violence is perhaps the most important element of the set of violence against women resulting in far-reaching implications on their health, including physical as well as psychological, and on overall gender status. This paper is going to highlight the dynamics and implications of domestic violence in local context through the case study approach.

Abstract

Family presence during CPR is a debatable issue in a healthcare system due to dichotomous ethical perspective associated with it. Family is a primary caregiver and it is their right to stay during last moment of their loved ones death. However, family presence can be possibly stressful for both the family and healthcare team. In this regard, pilot research studies need to be initiated in order to formulate relevant policies and suggest appropriate action. Thus, healthcare system needs to take a lead to bring a positive paradigm shift in our country.
