Background
Nursing workload remains an issue in current health care contexts. The use of quantitative methodologies, methods and tools to measure workload has not produced adequate data to inform workforce policy to resolve workforce concerns about workload.Objective
This study aimed to identify the influence of both culture and climate as factors in nursing workload.Methods
This research used an overall critical ethnographic methodology to investigate the real lifeworkload issues of nurses. Methods included fieldwork observations and informal discussions over a 3 year period and 11 in-depth interviews.Results
The study identifies the impact of safety mandates on nursing workload as an invisible phenomenon within current workload methodologies. Such mandates add to nursing roles and routines, and become a ‘taken-for-granted’ activity that is not always directly related to patient care, nor is a visible factor in workload measurement.Conclusion
Given that workload measurements are formulated on direct patient care activities, indirect and unrecognised activities may create additional nursing workload. 相似文献2.
Problem
Throughout the world people who are homeless experience high rates of hospitalisation. Nurses who work in hospitals have the potential to improve outcomes for this group. To date, a review of qualitative literature pertaining to hospital-based nursing for people who are homeless has been lacking.Aim
To synthesize findings of contemporary qualitative studies related to hospital-based nursing care for people who are homeless in Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) nations.Design
A systematic database search was conducted in mid-2017 using search terms: homeless*, hospital* and nurs*, combined by the Boolean operator ‘AND’. Inclusion and exclusion criteria that mandated publication year, language, method, quality, participants, and setting were applied. 341 abstracts were screened for relevancy resulting in the final inclusion of 8 qualitative and 2 mixed method studies.Findings
Three overarching themes emerged; (1) Homelessness challenges rigid approaches to hospital-based care (2) Stigma impedes healthcare for people who are homeless (3) Hospitals can provide a platform to address homelessness.Discussion
Delivering flexible, non-stigmatising nursing in a way that empowers people experiencing homelessness challenges hospitals around the globe. Research is needed to explore local approaches and subgroups within the homeless population.Conclusion
Experiences of homelessness vary across nations and between cities necessitating local solutions. Within hospitals, if nurses can provide flexible, non-stigmatising care, they have potential to make a huge difference both the lives of individuals who are homeless and in the wellbeing of society as a whole. 相似文献3.

Background
Entrance requirements for undergraduate nursing programs have been under government scrutiny in recent times. To date, no Australia studies have reported nurse academics’ perspectives of entry requirements for Bachelor of Nursing programs.Study aim
The aim of this study is to examine nursing academics’ perceptions of entry requirements for Australian Bachelor of Nursing Programs.Methods
A total of 223 nurse academics responded to questions in an online national survey on pre-requisite subject areas, minimum tertiary entrance scores, English proficiency, and inherent requirements for clinical practice.Findings
English, Maths and Science were seen as important pre-requisite subject areas for students commencing a Bachelor of Nursing Program. Nurse academics believed that increasing the tertiary entrance score and English proficiency, was necessary to increase entrance standards and that a minimum score be consistently applied across universities. There were mixed views as to the disclosure of inherent requirements by students.Conclusion
Nationally, dialogue needs to occur about how universities can apply a consistent approach to ensure that the necessary foundation skills, knowledge and abilities are in place prior to admission into programs. 相似文献5.

Background
Enrolled Nurses constitute an important part of the Australian health care system. Recently, improvements to education and medication endorsement have initiated expansion to EN scope of practice.Aim
This paper reports on a study conducted to inform development of revised Nursing and Midwifery Board (NMBA) of Australia Enrolled Nurse practice standards that explored with ENs their scope of practice.Design
A qualitative design using focus groups and individual interviews with ENs across Australia. Data were analysed using thematic analysis.Findings
ENs work in diverse practice contexts with differing scope of practice. Confusion existed regarding EN scope of practice as a result of many different types of ENs in practice. Care of unstable patients was seen to be outside the EN scope of practice. They were also often required to supervise the work of nursing assistants and new registered nurses. Lack of career pathway was seen as a limitation to ENs.Conclusions
EN education and scope of practice has evolved significantly, particularly in many practice settings, since the existing standards were developed. Further work is needed to address issues related to EN supervision of new RNs and AINs (Assistants in Nursing), and clarity of EN supervision in specialist clinical areas. 相似文献9.

Background
Hospital-acquired pressure injuries are a quality indicator in healthcare, including nursing care. Successful implementation of interventions to prevent pressure injuries can be impeded by factors beyond the control of nursing staff. Limited research exists on nurses’ experiences of providing pressure injury prevention and management in a hospital setting.Aim
To gain an in-depth understanding of nurses’ experiences concerning pressure injury prevention and management in a hospital setting.Methods
A qualitative study design was employed. The purposive sample consisted of twenty nurses working in units with a high incidence of pressure injuries across a local health district in Sydney, Australia. Participants were interviewed between May and September 2016, either individually or as a group using semi-structured interviews.Findings
Four themes were identified that captured the experiences of nurses providing pressure injury prevention and management in a hospital setting: “managing competing demands in complex clinical settings”; “the importance of knowledge and skill”; “clarifying organisational expectations, purpose and successes”; and “feeling ethically challenged when unable to provide quality patient care”.Discussion
Participants were aware of the importance of pressure injury prevention and management but found it difficult to provide quality care due to competing priorities and challenges faced at both an organisational and patient level.Conclusion
Pressure injury prevention and management is just one aspect of patient care and should not be considered on its own to change existing practice. Participants wanted to implement preventative strategies and provide optimal pressure injury care, however, complexities associated with a hospital setting hindered this process. Hospitals need to put measures in place that support and enable nurses to deliver the quality care required to prevent and manage pressure injuries. 相似文献10.

Background
Standardized patient was useful for knowledge acquirement, communication skills, self-efficacy, learning motivation and clinical skill acquirement in the literature.Aim
The aim of this study was to compare the effects of standardized patient and low-fidelity mannequin use in teaching hygiene care.Methods
This study was conducted as a randomized controlled study. The study was conducted on first-year nursing students in a nursing school in Turkey. The study inclusion criteria were as follows: voluntary acceptance of study participation, and participation in theoretical lectures on hygiene education. Eighty students were recruited for the study population. The students were divided into two groups consisting of 40 students in each group. The intervention group performed the simulation using a standardized patient, and the control group performed the simulation using a low-fidelity mannequin. The same simulation scenarios were used for both groups.Results
The hygiene care performance scores and students’ satisfaction and self-confidence scale and simulation design scale scores of the students in the standardized patient group were significantly higher than in the low-fidelity mannequin group. The students in the standardized patient group also showed less stress-related physical reactions in the actual environment and with an actual patient, experienced less difficulty during practice, felt more adequate, and better transferred the skills they had learned in the laboratory to clinical practice.Conclusion
Simulation with standardized patient is an effective teaching method for improving outcomes hygiene care skills of nursing students. 相似文献11.

Background
An understanding of determinants of health is critical for nurses to be able to develop effective care plans for their patients; however little work has been published which evaluates learning opportunities for students around the determinants of health.Aim
To gain an understanding of students’ experiences of a newly designed assessment task which focused on the determinants of health—a photo-essay.Methods
A mixed methods approach was adopted. Students undertaking the course were asked to complete a reflective thinking questionnaire both pre- and post- course. Data from individual students was matched and differences in responses to the questionnaire determined. Students were also asked to briefly describe their impressions of the photo-essay assessment task. A thematic analysis of the students’ impressions of the photo-essay task was completed.Results
An analysis of pre- and post- course questionnaire results identified that there were statistically significant differences regarding the constructs (or proxies) for the levels of students’ understanding and critical reflection. A thematic analysis of the students’ impressions of the photo-essay assessment task indicated four main themes — the challenge, the enjoyment, learning, and the connection of theory to their local environment.Discussion
Findings indicate that this assessment task provided opportunity for students to learn about the determinants of health. Benefits to students included the changes in the constructs for levels of understanding and critical reflection. These changes aligned with the themes identified in students’ free text comments.Conclusions
Based on this project, it is concluded that photo-essays may be an innovative assessment approach of the determinants of health which may be used in nursing education to enhance understanding and critical reflection. 相似文献13.
Background
When a disaster occurs older people are recognised to be among one of the vulnerable population groups. During the Great East Japan earthquake in 2011, there were numerous unresolved health and social issues for the survivors.Aim of the study
To understand which challenges older people that survived the 2011 disaster faced, which aspects they identified as concerns and what they felt was difficult and possibly could not recover from in the near future.Methods
A qualitative case study method was used. Sixteen participants, living in temporary housing, were interviewed in 2015. The interview data was analysed using thematic analysis.Findings and discussion
Participants (4 men; 12 women) were aged between 65 and 89 years. Seven participants stated that they were healthy although they had minor health issues. Some women had psycho-social health issues brought about by the trauma they experienced, caring for their aging relatives and living in temporary housing. Four themes emerged: feeling grateful to be alive; issues related to health and mental health; the importance of recreational activities and community involvement; feeling of fear, uncertainty and vulnerability.Conclusions
This is the first study to report directly participants’ feelings and views after their traumatic experience. All participants were happy to be interviewed and to express their views. Although participants expressed their need for health professional services to be available to support them following traumatic events, these services are yet to be recognised as an essential part of the recovery process. 相似文献14.
Objective
The present study aimed to identify e-leader preferences among nurses based on several attributes namely: style, trait, and characteristics.Method
Conjoint analysis via card sort was employed to capture the responses of 174 purposively selected nurses in the Philippines with prior interaction with a virtual nursing leader. Ten (10) orthogonal combination cards grounded from literature reviews were used as study tools. Data was collected online for about two months and was analyzed using SPSS version 21.Results
The study surfaces that transformational leadership (0.237), authentic and artistic leadership (0.167) and physique (0.201) attributes were the most preferred style, trait and characteristics, respectively.Conclusion
The study promotes prior notions that leaders, even at virtual spaces, are being acknowledged as an essential figure in leader-subordinate interaction. 相似文献15.

Background
Despite the investment in education and training, a Health Service in Australia continues to experience a shortage of enrolled nurses.Aim
The aim of this study was to understand the investment education and training have on the retention of enrolled nurses in the Health Service.Methods
An explanatory sequential mixed methods design was used. The study was divided into three phases: 1. Separate surveys to enrolled nurses and stakeholders (nursing managers and educators); 2. Focus groups for enrolled nurses and stakeholders; 3. Analysis of recruitment and retention data from the graduating Diploma of Nursing cohorts.Results
Phase 1 and 2 identified that enrolled nurses participated in education and training for self-satisfaction and personal interest. A professional development pathway was identified as something that would retain enrolled nurses. Inconsistent standards and confusion in their scope of practice, together with a lack of respect for the enrolled nurse, contributed to them leaving. Phase 3 identified poor recruitment processes for the graduating Diploma of Nursing cohorts negatively impacted on their retention.Discussion
Retention of enrolled nurses was influenced by inconsistent standards of practice, confusion in their scope of practice, and a lack of career progression. Phase 3 demonstrated that changes made to the recruitment process resulted in improved retention.Conclusion
Limited opportunities for professional development, confusion in their scope of practice and feelings of being undervalued influenced the retention of enrolled nurses. The results also indicated a well-structured recruitment program favourably impacted on retention. 相似文献16.

Background
The last two decades has seen a dramatic increase in sessional staff teaching into undergraduate nursing programmes in Australia. These staff undertake positions as subject coordinator, lecturer, tutor, clinical laboratory leader or clinical facilitator. Their experiences are mixed, with reports highlighting dissatisfaction with employment and preparation processes, and a sense of disconnectedness from academic staff and the organization. These factors may negatively impact the quality of teaching and learning.Aim
This review aimed to explore the following question: What are the experiences and requirements of sessional staff teaching in undergraduate nursing programmes in Australia?Methods
A search was conducted of CINAHL, Medline and Scopus databases, resulting in a final dataset of eight papers, which were appraised using the CASP framework and then thematically analysed.Findings
Three themes emerged from the appraised literature: 1. Who is the sessional staff member? 2. Misplaced perceptions of roles. 3. The impact of sessional staff teaching on the quality of learning.Discussion
Sessional staff are vital members of teaching teams in undergraduate nursing programmes. Student experiences are enhanced when sessional staff are supported in their roles. Clarifying sessional staff’s goals and responsibilities, providing resources and strengthening their workplace inclusion will improve sessional staff’s experiences of teaching, and educational outcomes for students.Conclusion
Tenured and sessional staff have differing perceptions of each other’s roles. Ensuring job satisfaction and quality learning opportunities for students depend upon such understandings. Further exploration of the capabilities required to fulfil the roles being undertaken by sessional teachers in nursing programmes is needed. 相似文献17.

Background
The growth of the general practice nursing workforce, has created opportunities to enhance activities aimed at lifestyle change to optimise health and reduce risk. While health status and risk levels are amenable to behaviour change, a number of complex interrelated factors influence the general practice nurses’ (GPN) role, often resulting in the underutilisation of nurses. This can limit their capacity to respond to patients’ needs, including communication regarding lifestyle risk factors and their chronic health conditions. Understanding GPNs’ views on lifestyle risk communication and factors influencing this can inform improvement in chronic disease management and effectiveness of lifestyle risk communication by GPNs.Aim
To review the literature examining the experiences and perspectives of GPNs regarding communication with patients about lifestyle risk factors.Method
An integrative literature review was conducted using the methods of Whittemore and Knafl (2005). CINAHL, Scopus, MEDLINE, Cochrane Library and Joanna Briggs Institute of Systematic Reviews were searched for articles published in English from January 2006–October 2016. Peer-reviewed papers reporting primary research which focussed on GPNs’ perceptions, attitudes, experiences and/or perspectives of lifestyle risk communication with adults were included. Included papers were assessed for methodological quality and findings extracted for thematic analysis.Results
Fifteen articles were included, yielding four themes; GPNs’ views of the nurse-patient relationship, motivational interviewing (MI), barriers to practice, and role parameters. Data revealed GPNs’ needs relating to role clarity, maintenance of therapeutic relationships, as well as organisational, government policy and technique support.Conclusion
GPNs are increasingly managing and coordinating care for people with, or at risk of, chronic disease. Lifestyle risk counselling effectively supports chronic disease management and lifestyle risk reduction. This review synthesises GPNs’ current experiences and perspectives of lifestyle risk communication, as well as highlighting additional research needs. 相似文献18.

Objective
This study aims to explore the experience of test re-takers in taking the Indonesian Nursing Competency Examination (INCE) located in Nursing Program of Hang Tuah Institute of Health Science, Pekanbaru.Method
This qualitative study used a phenomenology approach. There were 5 re-takers who failed to pass the INCE as the participants in this study taken by purposive sampling. Data were collected by in-depth-interview and were analyzed with Colaizzi method.Result
This study found that the re-takers experienced some psychological responses every time they took the INCE; they prepared for the next INCE, had obstacles in the INCE process, tried to answer all questions, and had hopes related to the INCE organizers.Conclusion
It is recommended that the nursing program of Hang Tuah Pekanbaru Institute of Health Science provides several preparations for nursing students to face the INCE, such as joining the government schedule of INCE try-outs and making additional try-out programs for the students. 相似文献20.
