The Effect of Mindfulness Meditation on the Stress, Anxiety, Mindfulness, and Self-Compassion Levels of Nursing Students

Heinrich, Debra S. January 2022 (has links)
Studies have revealed that nursing students experience greater amounts of stress and anxiety than the average college student. Nursing students attribute increased stress levels to the twin demands of their classroom and clinical workloads. Higher stress levels frequently result in students reporting symptoms of poor health and lack of psychological well-being. It is important to note that some nursing students are also actively working in clinical settings and contending with the added stress of the recent COVID-19 pandemic. Mindfulness meditation is a natural measure that can help alleviate the feelings of perceived stress and anxiety and improve levels of mindfulness and self-compassion. An experimental two group pretest-posttest randomized controlled design was used to evaluate the effect of a virtual mindfulness meditation intervention on levels of perceived stress, anxiety, self-compassion, and mindfulness of nursing students. Study participants were randomly assigned to either an intervention or control group and received recordings prepared by the study authors. The intervention group received a 10-minute mindfulness meditation recording each week and the control group simultaneously received five 10-minute separate recordings on nursing news and information. Both groups were instructed to listen to the recordings at least three days per week for four weeks. The instruments used in this study were the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), the Generalized Anxiety Disorder subscale (GAD-7), the Self-Compassion Scale (SCS), and the Mindfulness Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS). These surveys were provided at baseline and at a 4-week follow-up. The study presented in this dissertation is part of a larger study that was a collaboration between this author, Debra Heinrich, and Shohini Holden. Other instruments in the original study that are not discussed here are the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS) and the Five Factor Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ). This dissertation consists of three articles. The first article provides an analysis of the effect of a mindfulness meditation intervention on the stress and anxiety levels of nursing students. A two-way mixed ANOVA revealed a significant interaction between group assignment and timing of test on participants’ stress levels and on their anxiety levels. Follow-up simple main effects tests involving independent-samples t tests revealed that the intervention group, receiving the online mindfulness meditation recordings, experienced lower levels of stress and anxiety on the posttest surveys than the control group. The second article reports on a study of the effect of the intervention on mindfulness and self-compassion levels. The findings of a two-way mixed ANOVA and independent t tests demonstrated that mindfulness meditation can increase levels of mindfulness and self-compassion in nursing students. The third article compares two instruments used to self-report feelings of anxiety, reports on the demographic variables related to anxiety among nursing students, and explores the correlation between levels of mindfulness and levels of anxiety in this study. There were no significant relationships found between any demographic variable and anxiety scores. The GAD-7 instrument was found to be more sensitive to mild and moderate anxiety then the DASS instrument, and it is, therefore, the recommended instrument for use in nursing programs. There was a significant inverse relationship between levels of mindfulness and anxiety for students in this study. The findings of this study demonstrate that mindfulness meditation can reduce stress and anxiety, while increasing mindfulness and self-compassion levels in nursing students. This could be useful for nurse educators assisting students to manage the stress and anxiety often experienced in nursing education. Nursing programs could screen students to evaluate their levels of stress, anxiety, and mindfulness. Stress relief techniques, such as mindfulness meditation, could be incorporated into nursing programs as part of a wellness program or curricular offering. Mindfulness meditation could also be part of orientation programs in clinical sites for new nurses and offered to all nursing staff as part of continuing education. Further research, using rigorous scientific methods, will be needed to study the most effective methods to evaluate and manage stress and anxiety. This could ultimately decrease the stress and anxiety levels and improve well-being for student nurses and nurses, which could in turn positively impact patient care and outcomes.

A supervisão de estágio de fonoaudiologia: características e desafios docentes em Alagoas / The probation supervision in speech, language and hearing therapy : a teacher vision in Alagoas

Lima, Bárbara Patrícia da Silva 19 April 2013 (has links)
The Mandatory Supervised (ESO), during graduation, develops around at least three main actors: the patient, the student and supervisor. The patient appears to trigger the main subject of study and reason of all training offered, the second - the student - as one who seeks to learn and develop skills that enable them to exercise the professional activity, and the supervisor, as the facilitator responsible for the preparation professional, ethical and humanist student, but also for overseeing the care provided to the patient. This work has as objective to investigate who is the internship supervisor in speech, language and hearing sciences and how is their practice during the monitoring of trainees. The study subjects were 21 teachers speech, language and hearing therapists from State University Health Sciences of Alagoas (UNCISAL), who act as supervisors of compulsory internship of Speech, language and hearing sciences Institution, the only course in Alagoas. Several aspects were investigated by means of questionnaires, such as the characterization of professional, academic pathway and the exercise of supervisory activity itself. The results have showed a group predominantly female (95.24% women), aged predominantly between 31 and 40 years. Although most have master titration, few have specific training for teaching health. Most supervisors conducts its activities in medium complexity out of context and interdisciplinary. These data suggest the need for investment by the institution, focused on specific training for teachers. Thus was established as the product intervention, a proposed Course in Education in Health, entitled: "Teaching Development - Expanding the horizons of teaching practices in Speech, language and hearing sciences in the State of Alagoas". This proposal addresses issues as graduation for the Unified Health System (SUS), theories of teaching and learning, curriculum and teaching in Speech Pathology, Interdisciplinary Education in health, among others, to promote the development of teaching and course managers internship supervisors of Speech, language and hearing sciences in Alagoas, redirecting training in speech therapy for SUS, Primary Care, Interdisciplinary, Continuing Education in Health Education and greater integration-Service. / O Estágio Supervisionado Obrigatório (ESO), durante a graduação, desenvolve-se em torno de pelo menos três atores principais: o paciente, o estudante e o supervisor. O paciente surge como sujeito principal do estudo e razão de todo o treinamento proposto; o segundo - o estudante- como aquele que busca aprender e desenvolver competências que o capacitem a exercer a atividade profissional; e o supervisor, como o facilitador responsável pelo preparo profissional, ético e humanista do estudante, mas também, pela supervisão no atendimento prestado ao paciente. Este trabalho traz como objetivo investigar quem é o supervisor de estágio em Fonoaudiologia e como se dá sua prática durante o acompanhamento dos estagiários. Os sujeitos da pesquisa foram 21 fonoaudiólogos professores da Universidade Estadual de Ciências da Saúde de Alagoas (UNCISAL), que atuam como supervisores do estágio obrigatório do Curso de Fonoaudiologia da Instituição, único curso da área em Alagoas. Vários aspectos foram pesquisados, por meio da aplicação de questionários, como: a caracterização do profissional, percurso acadêmico e o exercício da atividade de supervisão propriamente dita. Os resultados apontaram um grupo predominantemente feminino (95,24% de mulheres), com faixa etária que varia, principalmente, de 31 a 40 anos. Apesar de a maioria possuir titulação de mestre, poucos têm formação específica para a docência em saúde. A maior parte dos supervisores realiza suas atividades na média complexidade e fora do contexto interdisciplinar. Tais dados sugerem a necessidade de investimento, por parte da Instituição, na formação específica voltada para a docência. Assim, foi elaborada, como produto de intervenção, uma proposta de Curso de Aperfeiçoamento em Ensino na Saúde, intitulada: “Desenvolvimento Docente - Ampliando os horizontes das práticas docentes em Fonoaudiologia no Estado de Alagoas”. Tal proposta aborda temas como a formação acadêmica para o Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS), teorias de ensino-aprendizagem, currículo e ensino em Fonoaudiologia, Interdisciplinaridade no Ensino na saúde, entre outros, visando favorecer o desenvolvimento docente dos gestores do curso e dos supervisores de estágio do Curso de Fonoaudiologia de Alagoas, redirecionando a formação em Fonoaudiologia para o SUS, Atenção Básica, Interdisciplinaridade, Educação Permanente em Saúde e uma maior integração Ensino-Serviço.

Resisting responsibilisation : a narrative-discursive analysis of young peoples' talk about high school sexualities and school sexuality education

Graham, Nicola Susan Jearey January 2014 (has links)
The most widespread intervention in South Africa into the sexualities of young people is school based sexuality education. However there is a dearth of research in this area, and studies that have been conducted highlight major weaknesses with implementation. Research from Western countries indicates that the messages conveyed in sexuality education are resisted if they conflict with the desired sexual subjectivities of young people. This indicates a need for further research into desired youth sexualities, and school based sexuality education. While South African studies of young people‘s talk about sexualities have been conducted, there is a paucity of literature in this area from a discursive perspective. This study is situated within a feminist post-structuralist paradigm, utilising a performative-performance analytical approach which synthesises Butlerian theory with a narrative-discursive methodology. This approach enables an analysis of both the macro-discursive power webs within which sexualities are situated, and the micro-discursive activity through which sexual subject positions are constructed. I used this approach to analyse the talk of groups of students from a Further Education and Training College about the sexualities of High School learners and their own past sexuality education. Findings showed that that the most dominant discursive resources which were utilised to construct sexualities were societal sexual norms discourses. These foundational discourses constructed gendered sexualities of compulsory hyper-heterosex for men, and compulsory compliant girlfriendhood for women. Such gendered sexualities reinforced patriarchal and abusive gendered and sexual practices. Ways in which participants troubled the dominant gendered sexualities through the performance of alternative sexual positions were analysed, as these 'troubling' performances indicate mutable aspects of the normative gendered field. Participants drew on a discourse of disconnect when talking about their school sexuality education, and their parents‘ (lack of) communication with them about sex. This suggests that adultist attempts to construct a 'responsible' sexual subject position for young people are resisted when such a position is constructed in a non-relational manner. Collusion between the constructed gendered sexualities and the discourse of disconnect results in the un-performability of a 'responsible' sexual subject position. These findings were used to provide suggestions for enhancing school based sexuality interventions.

Formação do enfermeiro para a integralidade a partir de pressupostos dialógicos freireanos

Boeira, Suzana 20 December 2016 (has links)
Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo apresentar norteadores da prática pedagógica que contribuem na formação do enfermeiro para a integralidade na saúde sob a perspectiva dialógica de Freire. Esse tema surgiu a partir de vivências como docente de um curso de graduação em enfermagem que demonstraram uma dicotomia da formação e da atuação profissional em relação às boas práticas em saúde. Tratou-se de uma pesquisa bibliográfica realizada a partir das publicações do Portal de Periódicos CAPES (2009-2016), considerando teses, dissertações e artigos que contemplam a temática proposta, bem como análise das Diretrizes Curriculares nacionais para a formação do enfermeiro. A análise de conteúdo de Bardin foi o caminho escolhido para interpretação dos dados, articulados com os pressupostos teóricos do dialogismo em Freire e da integralidade de Pinheiro e Mattos. Do processo de análise emergiram três categorias: a docência humanizadora como possibilitadora de um cuidado humanizado; a interdisciplinaridade como base para a integralidade do cuidado através de relações dialógicas constituídas pelo diálogo e pela escuta ativa; e o reconhecimento da multidimensionalidade do sujeito para o estabelecimento de uma relação dialógica desde a sua singularidade e subjetividade. Da articulação entre essas categorias, relacionando os conceitos do quadro teórico constituído, foram identificados cinco pressupostos pedagógicos para a formação do enfermeiro, respondendo assim a pergunta de pesquisa. Eles estão relacionados à necessidade do professor compreender e reconhecer os saberes dos educandos, permanecendo vinculado ao compromisso com o rigor metódico, ao uso da pesquisa para o processo de ensino e aprendizagem e à adaptação e reconhecimento da condição de inacabamento e condicionamento dos sujeitos. Apontam para uma formação orientada para o reconhecimento do homem como ser multidimensional e complexo e na produção de conhecimentos que derivem de espaços coletivos de ação-reflexão-ação, a partir da competência profissional do educador, de sua autoridade, humildade e capacidade de escuta. Os resultados da pesquisa ainda indicam a necessidade de o docente se comprometer com sua prática, levando em conta as demandas do cotidiano profissional do enfermeiro, para pensar nas situações de ensino aprendizagem, além de considerar o contexto de vida dos alunos. / Submitted by Ana Guimarães Pereira (agpereir@ucs.br) on 2017-04-03T19:08:31Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissertacao Suzana Boeira.pdf: 1533473 bytes, checksum: dbaac0c67e15a7d9ebc4f41aac62babe (MD5) / Made available in DSpace on 2017-04-03T19:08:31Z (GMT).

This theme arose from experiences as a teacher of a nursing undergraduate course that demonstrated a dichotomy of training and professional performance in relation to good health practices. This was a bibliographical research based on the publications of the Portal of Periodicals CAPES (2009-2016), considering theses, dissertations and articles that contemplate the proposed theme, as well as an analysis of the National Curricular Guidelines for the training of nurses. Bardin's content analysis was the chosen path for data interpretation, articulated with the theoretical presuppositions of dialogism in Freire and the integrality of Pinheiro and Mattos. From the analysis process, three categories emerged: humanizing teaching as a facilitator of humanized care; Interdisciplinarity as the basis for the integrality of care through dialogic relations constituted by dialogue and active listening; And the recognition of the multidimensionality of the subject for the establishment of a dialogical relationship from its singularity and subjectivity. From the articulation between these categories, relating the concepts of the theoretical framework constituted, five pedagogical presuppositions were identified for the formation of the nurse, thus answering the research question. They are related to the teacher's need to understand and recognize the learners' knowledge, remaining linked to the commitment to methodical rigor, to the use of research for the teaching and learning process, and to the adaptation and recognition of the condition of unfinished and conditioned subjects. They point to a formation oriented towards the recognition of man as a multidimensional and complex being and the production of knowledge derived from collective spaces of action-reflection-action, based on the educator's professional competence, his authority, humility and listening ability. The results of the research still indicate the need for the teacher to commit to their practice, taking into account the demands of the daily professional of the nurse, to think about the situations of teaching learning, and to consider the context of the students life.

Contribuições de unidades de ensino potencialmente significativa (UEPS) para a disciplina de ciências do ensino fundamental

Nuncio, Ariane Pegoraro 19 December 2016 (has links)
Este trabalho de pesquisa teve por objetivo elaborar, aplicar e avaliar as contribuições de unidades de ensino potencialmente significativas (UEPS) para a aprendizagem de conteúdos sobre o corpo humano e saúde, em uma turma de 8º ano, na disciplina de ciências em uma escola municipal de Bento Gonçalves/RS. A metodologia de pesquisa segue uma abordagem qualitativa, de natureza aplicada. Quanto aos objetivos, ela é do tipo exploratória. O procedimento metodológico adotado é a pesquisa participante. A análise dos resultados utilizou os dados registrados no diário de bordo da pesquisadora, bem como os trabalhos escritos, produções artísticas e a própria fala dos alunos, os quais, ao término de cada UEPS, foram utilizados para evidenciar se a aprendizagem foi significativa. As atividades desenvolvidas visaram desafiar a transposição dos conhecimentos teóricos em diferentes linguagens que pudessem evidenciar a ocorrência da aprendizagem significativa. A diversidade de estratégias atendeu ao objetivo de realizar uma avaliação qualitativa ao longo do processo. Ao término da aplicação das UEPS, foi possível verificar que esse é um método potencialmente facilitador da aprendizagem significativa e será divulgado na forma de um guia didático, no qual todas as atividades e recursos pedagógicos serão detalhados para que outros educadores tenham acesso e possam utilizá-lo. / Submitted by Ana Guimarães Pereira (agpereir@ucs.br) on 2017-03-20T18:47:58Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissertacao Ariane Pegoraro Nuncio.pdf: 28738358 bytes, checksum: 7503849d406f36093683d764d2da7b3b (MD5) / Made available in DSpace on 2017-03-20T18:47:58Z (GMT).
