The objectives of this study were to analyze the epidemiology of accidents with biological material involving nursing students in the scientific literature; describe the frequency and profile of accidents with biological material among nursing students of a higher education institution; identify activities of academic practice considered risk for accidents with biological material in the view of nursing graduates; characterize the preparation of the nursing academic front of an accident with biological material. This study results were presented in the form of two articles, the first being an integrative review of the literature on accidents involving biological material among nursing students, the descriptor available in the Descriptors in Health Sciences of the Virtual Health Library and the Medical Subject Headings in the PUBMED electronic databases Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE), Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences (LILACS), Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), no time frame. They found 1849 articles, these 37 met the inclusion criteria. The investigated items showed that the profile of accidents with biological material among undergraduate students follow the same profile of affected by nursing professionals and are associated with the lack of biosecurity measures, post-exposure recommendations and other factors intrinsic to the vocational training process . The second article was a cross-sectional descriptive study by means of an electronic questionnaire with the third nursing students the tenth periods of a public institution of higher education in the state of Goiás. The study was approved under protocol nº414258. The study included 126 undergraduate students with a mean age of 21.6 years. Among the activities of nursing practice the sharps handling was the most cited (64.4%) and 98.4% of the students said to have received prior guidance on the possibility of contact with body fluids during the course of practical activities. However, most did not know how to describe the post-exposure measures. There were four accidents (3.2%), more frequent exposure of the ocular mucosa (75.0%) with the blood longer present as biological material. Two students reported accidents to teachers who have followed all recommended behaviors. It was found that the communication of the accident to the teacher resulted in adherence to recommended post-exposure measures. / Para a equipe de enfermagem o risco biológico representa uma grande preocupação com impacto físico e emocional na saúde desses trabalhadores, estando os acadêmicos desta área sob o mesmo risco. Os objetivos desse estudo foram: analisar a epidemiologia dos acidentes com material biológico envolvendo acadêmicos de enfermagem na literatura científica; descrever a frequência e o perfil dos acidentes com material biológico entre acadêmicos de enfermagem de uma instituição de ensino superior; identificar atividades da prática acadêmica considerada risco para ocorrência de acidentes com material biológico na opinião de acadêmicos de enfermagem; caracterizar o preparo do acadêmico de enfermagem frente a um acidente com material biológico. Os resultados do estudo foram apresentados na forma de dois artigos, sendo o primeiro uma revisão integrativa da literatura sobre acidente com material biológico entre acadêmicos de enfermagem, foram utilizados os descritores disponíveis no Descritores em Ciências da Saúde da Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde e no Medical Subject Headings da PUBMED nas bases de dados eletrônicos Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE), Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS), Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), sem recorte temporal. Foram encontrados 1849 artigos, desses 37 atenderam aos critérios de inclusão. Os artigos investigados evidenciaram que o perfil dos acidentes com material biológico entre os acadêmicos seguem o mesmo perfil dos acometidos por profissionais de enfermagem e estão associados ao desconhecimento das medidas de biossegurança, as recomendações pós-exposição e a outros fatores intrínsecos ao processo de formação profissional. O segundo artigo foi um estudo transversal, descritivo realizado por meio de um questionário eletrônico com acadêmicos de enfermagem do terceiro ao décimo períodos de uma Instituição Pública de Ensino Superior do Estado de Goiás. O estudo foi aprovado sob protocolo nº 414.258. Participaram do estudo 126 acadêmicos com média de idade de 21,6 anos. Dentre as atividades da prática de enfermagem o manuseio de perfurocortante foi a mais citada (64,4%) e 98,4% dos acadêmicos afirmaram a ter recebido orientação prévia sobre a possibilidade de entrar em contato com secreções orgânicas durante a realização das atividades práticas. No entanto, a maioria não soube descrever as medidas pós-exposições. Aconteceram quatro acidentes (3,2%), com exposição mais frequente da mucosa ocular (75,0%) tendo o sangue como material biológico mais presente. Dois alunos informaram os acidentes aos docentes, que seguiram todas as condutas recomendadas. Verificou-se que a comunicação do acidente ao docente resultou na adesão às medidas pós-exposição recomendadas.

Estudo com objetivo de avaliar e comparar o desempenho teórico e prático de estudantes de enfermagem submetidos a estratégias de ensino-aprendizagem, aula expositivo-dialogada e atividade prática em laboratório de habilidades ou aula simulada, no manejo da via aérea em emergências por meio da máscara laríngea (ML). Estudo com delineamento experimental, abordagem quantitativa, de intervenção tipo Ensaio Clínico Randomizado Controlado. A população consistiu dos estudantes do oitavo período, bacharelado, da Escola de Enfermagem de Ribeirão Preto e a amostra de 17 estudantes, randomizados para grupo controle (GC) e grupo intervenção (GI). O GC foi submetido à aula expositivo-dialogada seguida de atividade prática em laboratório de habilidades com manequim de baixa fidelidade e o GI à aula simulada em laboratório utilizando o mesmo manequim. Elaboraram-se os instrumentos de avaliação escrita, cenário de simulação e avaliação clínica objetiva e estruturada no cenário de simulação (checklist), validados em aparência e conteúdo por comitê de juízes. A estratégia de coleta de dados foi Workshop intitulado \"Manejo da via aérea em emergências: uso da ML\". Foram avaliados teste escrito e OSCE (Exame Clínico Objetivo Estruturado) - avaliação clínica estruturada em Laboratório de Simulação, este último empregando como ferramenta o manequim de média-fidelidade. A atividade foi filmada e analisada por três avaliadores. Analisaram-se os desfechos: desempenho teórico no teste escrito e prático no OSCE, tempo de execução do OSCE, tempo para obtenção da primeira ventilação eficaz, número de tentativas para inserção da ML até obtenção de ventilação efetiva. Resultados: 16 estudantes eram do sexo feminino e um do sexo masculino, a idade média 24,4±4,2 anos. No pré-teste a nota média do GC de 6,6±1,0 e do GI de 6,5±0,5 e a mediana para ambos 6,5. No pós-teste a nota média do GC foi 8,4±0,8 (mediana 8,5), do GI de 8,6±1,1 (mediana 8,6). Comparando-se as médias obtidas no pré-teste por ambos os grupos, não há diferença estatisticamente significante (p=07427). Tal fato também pôde ser constatado no pós-teste (p=0,7117). Comparando as notas pré e pós-teste do GC evidenciou diferença estatisticamente significante (p=0,0025) o que também ocorreu para o GI (p=0,0002). A média no OSCE do GC foi 7,8±0,52 e GI 8,4±0,89; comparou-se tais notas verificando-se que não há diferença estatisticamente significante (p=0,0822). A média obtida pelo GC no pós-teste foi maior que a média obtida no OSCE e, para o GI, são equivalentes. O tempo médio de execução do OSCE pelo GC foi 479,8±183,3s (mediana 468,5s) e no GI 520,3±157s (mediana 506s), não havendo diferença estatisticamente significante (p=0,6311) e também para obtenção da primeira ventilação eficaz (p=0,9835). A média do nº tentativas para inserção da ML pelo GC 1,63±0,74 e GI 1,56±0,63. Embora os resultados não apontem diferença estatisticamente significante entre as médias dos grupos no pós-teste, para o GI os escores foram superiores. No presente estudo, apesar de diferentes estratégias de ensino abordarem o manejo da via aérea em emergências com a ML, os resultados demonstram que as mesmas foram eficazes e os objetivos de aprendizagem foram alcançados, pois houve incremento nas notas obtidas no pós-teste e no OSCE em ambos os grupos. / Study aimed to evaluate and compare the theoretical and practical performance of nursing students subjected to teaching and learning strategies, exhibition-dialogued class, and practical activity in skill lab or simulated class in airway management in emergencies through laryngeal mask (LM). This is a study of experimental design, quantitative approach, intervention type, Controlled Randomized Trials. The population consisted of students in the eighth semester from the Bachelor\'s Degree of the University of São Paulo at Ribeirão Preto College of Nursing and the sample consisted of 17 students, randomly assigned to the control group (CG) and the intervention group (IG). The CG was subjected to exhibition-dialogued class followed by practical activity in skill lab with low-fidelity mannequin and the IG to simulated class in the lab using the same mannequin. Written evaluation instruments, simulation scenario and objective structured clinical evaluation in simulation scenario (checklist) were developed and validated in appearance and content by a committee of judges. The strategy for data collection was the workshop entitled \"Airway management in emergencies: use of LM\". They were evaluates through written test and the OSCE (Objective Structured Clinical Examination) - structured clinical evaluation in Simulation Laboratory, the latter employing the medium-fidelity mannequin as tool. The activity was filmed and analyzed by three evaluators. The outcomes were analyzed: theoretical performance in written and practical test in the OSCE, the OSCE runtime, time to obtain the first effective ventilation, number of attempts to insert the LM to obtain effective ventilation. Results: 16 students were female and one male, mean age 24.4±4.2 years. In the pre-test the score average of CG was 6.6±1.0 and of IG was 6.5±0.5 and the median for both was 6.5. At post-test, the average score of CG was 8.4±0.8 (median 8.5), of IG was 8.6±1.1 (median 8.6). Comparing the averages obtained in the pre-test for both groups, there was no statistically significant difference (p=0.7427). This fact could also be observed in the post-test (p=0.7117). Comparing notes of pre and post-test of CG there was a statistically significant difference (p=0.0025) which also occurred for IG (p=0.0002). The mean of the OSCE for CG was 7.8±0.52 and for IG was 8,4±0,89; compared to such notes and it was verified that there is no statistically significant difference (p=0.0822). The average obtained by CG in the post-test was higher than the average obtained IG in the OSCE, and for IG they were equivalent. The average execution time of the OSCE for CG was 479.8 ± 183.3s (median 468.5s) and for IG 520.3±157s (506s median), with no statistically significant difference (p=0.6311) and also for obtaining the first effective ventilation (p=0.9835). The average of attempts to insert the LM by CG was 1.63±0.74 and by IG was 1.56±0.63 GI. Although the results do not indicate a statistically significant difference between the averages of the groups in the post-test, the scores were higher for IG. In this study, although different teaching strategies addressing airway management in emergencies through LM were used, the results show that they were effective and the learning objectives have been achieved, because there was an increase in the scores obtained in the post-test and in the OSCE in both groups.

O investimento da pesquisa consiste em colocar em evidência as estratégias de ensino capazes de promover o pensamento crítico (PC) em estudantes de cursos de graduação em Enfermagem. Esse assunto toma relevância mundial pelos desafios presentes no atual século e pelas competências necessárias e requeridas aos sujeitos em formação, futuros profissionais, para responderem de maneira eficaz às demandas da sociedade em um mundo em transformação. Os objetivos do estudo foram: identificar as estratégias de ensino utilizadas e testadas nos cursos de graduação em Enfermagem para desenvolver o PC eavaliar as evidências disponíveis na literatura sobre a efetividade das estratégias de ensino utilizadas para o desenvolvimento do PC em estudantes de graduação em Enfermagem. Trata-se de uma Revisão Sistemática (RS) da literatura que seguiu as recomendações do Joanna Briggs Institute. Para a busca dos estudos foi utilizada a estratégia PICOS (P= estudantes de graduação em Enfermagem; I e C= estratégias de ensino; O= pensamento crítico e S= Ensaio Clínico Randomizado), nas bases de dados PubMed, CINAHL, EMBASE, Web of Science, Scopus, LILACS, Cochrane CENTRAL, PsychINFO e ERIC, além de banco de teses e dissertações de universidades dos quatro continentes. Não foi determinadolimite temporal para a busca e esta foi finalizada em 31 de janeiro de 2014. A seleção e avaliação inicial dos estudos e a avaliação da qualidade metodológica foi realizada por dois revisores de forma independente. A extração dos dados dos estudos foi feita pelo revisor primário, analisada, discutidae apresentada de forma descritiva e com metanálise. Foram incluídos 12 estudos do tipo Ensaio Clínico Randomizado (ECR). As estratégias de ensino utilizadas e testadas nos ECR incluíram: o Problem-Based Learning (PBL Aprendizagem Baseada em Problemas), o mapa conceitual, a simulação, a escrita reflexiva, o Role Modeling e os Animated Pedagogical Agents. Na metanálise dos quatro estudos incluídos na RS que utilizaram a estratégia do PBLcomparada a palestras foi demonstrada a efetividade do PBL, estatisticamente significativa(SMD=0,21 e 95%IC=0,01-0,42; p=0,0434) para o desenvolvimento do PC em estudantes de graduação em Enfermagem e os estudos demonstraram ser homogêneos (Qui quadrado= 6,10, p=0,1068). Na metanálise dos três estudos que testaram o mapa conceitual, não foi demonstrada efetividade estatisticamente significativa (SMD=-0,53; 95%IC -0,79- -0,28; p<0,0001) para o PC em estudantes de graduação em Enfermagem e os estudos se mostraram heterogêneos (Qui quadrado=10,82, p=0,0044). Para as outras estratégias, os resultados são inconsistentes e a amostra é pequena para se chegar a conclusões mais fidedignas. Na síntese, a RS da literatura com metanálise demonstrou a efetividade do PBL no aumento dos scores de PC global a partir de estudos homogêneos. Novos estudos precisam ser feitos com o objetivo de desenvolver, implementare avaliar novas estratégias de ensino,bem como para testar as estratégias existentes para o desenvolvimento do PC em estudantes de graduação em Enfermagem, que sejam pautados em alto rigor metodológico e amparados em modelos teóricos de ensino-aprendizagem. / The investment of this research is to highlight the teaching strategies that promote critical thinking (CT) in students of undergraduate courses in Nursing. This subject has global relevance for the challenges present in the current century and the skills needed and required for the subjects used in the training of future professionals to effectively respond to the demands of society in an ever changing world.The objectives of this study were to identify the teaching strategies used and tested in undergraduate nursing to develop CT and evaluate the evidence available in literature on the effectiveness of teaching strategies used for the development of CT in undergraduate nursing students.This is a systematic review (SR) of literature following the recommendations of the Joanna Briggs Institute. To research the studies the PICOS strategy was used (P = graduate students in Nursing; I and C = learning strategies, O = critical thinking and S = Randomized Clinical Trial), in the databanks of PubMed, CINAHL, EMBASE, Web data of Science, Scopus, LILACS, Cochrane CENTRAL, PsychINFO and ERIC, and banks of theses and dissertations from universities on five continents. There was no time limit established for the research and this was completed on January 31, 2014. Selection and Initial evaluation of the studies and the methodological quality assessment was performed by two reviewers independently. The extraction of data from studies was made by the primary reviewer, analyzed, discussed and presented descriptively and with meta-analysis. Twelve (12) studies of the type Randomized Clinical Trial (RCT) were included. The teaching strategies used and tested in RCTs included: the Problem Based Learning (PBL Problem-Based Learning), the conceptual map, simulation, reflective writing, Role Modeling and Animated Pedagogical Agents. In a meta-analysis of four studies included in the RS, which used the strategy of PBL, compared the lectures and demonstrated the effectiveness of PBL as statistically significant (SMD=0,21 e 95%IC=0,01-0,42; p=0,0434) for the development of CT students in undergraduate nursing and the studies have shown to be homogeneous (Chi square=6,10, p=0,1068). In a meta-analysis of three studies that tested the conceptual map, it was not demonstrated any statistically significant efficacy (SMD= -0,53; 95%IC=-0,79--0,28;p<0,0001) for the CT in undergraduate nursing students and studies have shown to be heterogeneous (Chi square=10,82, p=0,0044). For the other strategies, the results are inconsistent and the sample is too small to reach more reliable conclusions. In summary, the RS literature with meta-analysis demonstrated the effectiveness of PBL in increased scores of global CT from homogeneous studies. Further studies need to be done in order to develop, implement and evaluate new teaching strategies as well as to test for the development of the existing CT into undergraduate nursing students, that are guided by sustained high methodological rigor and theoretical modeling strategies for teaching and learning.

The majority (65%) are employed, 14% work in a single institution, 48% started working six months after graduating. As for the form of work, 56% work in care, with 47% working in the public health system, 55% with a salary range of 2 to 7 salaries, an average of 4.5 minimum salaries and a weekly workload of 37 to 44 hours. There was a significant difference between the variables "year of graduation" and "employment in the nursing area" (p <0.005). Regarding the knowledge required for nursing practice according to the National Nursing Curriculum Guidelines (NCDs), the majority agreed to receive during graduation: preparation to carry out activities inherent to the profession, assisting the patient in its entirety, with ethics and applying technical and scientific concepts in nursing care. Conclusion: The study enabled a description of the singularities of nurses' training, their insertion in the world of work and the impact on the educational institution. In addition, it made it possible to display the specific competencies from the perspective of the graduates themselves, in parallel with the DCN/ENF. It is believed that the material produced by this research can be used by the evaluated educational institution, as well as by other institutions, to subsidize discussions and evaluations of curricular changes.

M.Cur. / Innovative and revolutionary changes in Nursing Education in South Africa have resulted in significant changes in student accompaniment. To give effect to these changes, two important aspects emerged. Firstly a facilitative process in the form of accompaniment of students and secondly the presence of a significant person to aid development of the student. THE AIM OF STUDY The overall aim of the study was to describe guidelines for effective student accompaniment during Community Health Nursing Science Clinical Practice. OBJECTIVES: to explore and describe students' needs for accompaniment during Community Health Nursing Science Clinical Practice to explore and describe the Community Health Nurses' perceived role in the accompaniment of students during Community Health Nursing Science Clinical Practice to describe guidelines for effective student accompaniment during Community Health Nursing Science Clinical Practice The study was explorative, descriptive and contextual and it used qualitative methods. The study was conducted in two phases. During phase 1 students' accompaniment needs were identified through written narrative sketches by forty second year students. Data analysis was done according to the protocol by Tesch. An interview schedule was developed from the results of phase 1 and used to guide the focus-group interview in phase 2. In phase 2, a focus-group interview was conducted with twelve Community Health Nurses to identify their perceived role in student accompaniment. In the first part of the interview an open question was asked, followed by questions based on the interview schedule. Data analysis in phase 2 was done according to the protocol by Tesch. Guidelines for effective student accompaniment during Community Health Nursing Science Clinical Practice were described based on the results of phase 1 and phase 2 namely identified students needs for accompaniment and perceived accompaniment roles by the Community Health Nurses. Trustworthiness was ensured throughout the study by adhering to Lincoln and Guba's model of trustworthiness.

Abstract The purpose of this study was to describe perceptions and explain background factors relating to the clinical learning environment and mentoring of culturally and linguistically diverse nursing students. The study included two phases: instrument development and a cross-sectional study. The instrument development phase consisted of a conceptualization process, which included two systematic reviews with thematic synthesis; generation of items for two new instruments, Cultural and Linguistic Diversity scale and Cultural and Linguistic Diversity in Mentoring scale, and psychometric testing of these newly developed scales. The cross-sectional phase was completed by collecting data from: (a) students (n = 329) studying in English-language nursing degree programmes from eight Finnish universities of applied sciences during autumn 2015 and spring 2016; and (b) mentors (n = 323) of culturally and linguistically diverse students from five Finnish university hospitals during spring 2016. In addition to the two newly developed instruments, two commonly used instruments Clinical Learning Environment, Supervision and Nurse Teacher scale and Mentors’ Competence Instrument were used for the main data collection. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, a nonparametric test and a binary logistic regression analysis. The psychometric properties of the instruments had good validity and reliability. Students’ perceptions on the level of their clinical learning environment and mentoring were lower than their mentors’ perceptions of their own mentoring competence. The level of language was the most common factor relating to the outcomes of culturally and linguistically diverse students’ clinical learning environment and mentoring. Future studies on culturally and linguistically diverse nursing students in the clinical environment should have a marked emphasis on improving proficiency in the native language, which should be implemented in the organizational structure of the clinical placements. This should include providing additional education for clinical mentors to enhance their mentoring competence with culturally and linguistically diverse students. / Tiivistelmä Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli kuvata ja selittää eri kulttuureista ja kielellisistä taustoista tulevien hoitotyön opiskelijoiden kliinistä oppimisympäristöä ja ohjausta. Tutkimuksessa oli kaksi vaihetta: mittarin kehittäminen ja poikkileikkaustutkimus. Mittarin kehittämiseksi ilmiö käsitteellistettiin, mikä toteutettiin kahtena systemaattisena katsauksena. Katsausaineistot analysoitiin temaattisella synteesillä. Tämän jälkeen muodostettiin mittarit operationalisoimalla käsitteet väittämiksi. Mittareita kehitettiin kaksi: Kulttuurinen ja kielellinen monimuotoisuus- mittari sekä Kulttuurinen ja kielellinen monimuotoisuus opiskelijaohjauksessa -mittari. Mittareiden kehittämisvaiheessa niiden psykometriset ominaisuudet testattiin. Poikkileikkaustutkimus toteutettiin keräämällä kyselyaineisto (a) opiskelijoilta, jotka opiskelivat englannin kielellä opetettavissa sairaanhoidon tutkinto-ohjelmissa kahdeksassa suomalaisessa ammattikorkeakoulussa syksyn 2015 ja kevään 2016 aikana (n = 329); sekä (b) eri kulttuureista tulevien opiskelijoiden ohjaajilta viidestä suomalaisesta yliopistosairaalasta kevään 2016 aikana (n = 323). Aineistot kerättiin ensimmäisessä vaiheessa kehitetyillä mittareilla sekä kahdella yleisessä käytössä olevalla mittarilla, Terveysalan koulutukseen liittyvän harjoittelun ohjauksen laatu -mittarilla sekä Opiskelijanohjausosaaminen -mittarilla. Aineisto analysoitiin käyttämällä kuvailevaa tilastoanalyysiä, ei-parametrisiä testejä ja binääristä logistista regressioanalyysiä. Tutkimuksessa kehitettyjen mittareiden psykometriset ominaisuudet olivat hyvät. Opiskelijoiden ohjaajat arvioivat oman osaamisensa korkeammalle kuin opiskelijat. Opiskelijat arvioivat sekä heidän kliinisen oppimisympäristönsä että ohjauksensa tason ohjaajien arvioita alhaisemmaksi. Kielitaito oli yleisin tekijä, joka vaikutti opiskelijoiden näkemyksiin kliinisestä oppimisympäristöstä ja ohjauksesta. Englannin kielellä opetettavissa tutkinto-ohjelmissa tulisi painottaa opiskelijoiden riittävää paikallisen kielen kielitaitoa. Tämän lisäksi kliinisen harjoittelun ohjaajien tulisi saada koulutusta eri kulttuurillisista taustoista tulevien opiskelijoiden ohjaukseen.

Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Technology: Nursing, Durban University of Technology, 2014. / South Africa has a high prevalence of obesity, and many people live with diseases where dietary adaptations are part of the management of the disease. Nurses are important in the facilitation of people obtaining dietary advice. While nutrition education is part of the nursing curriculum, student nurses’ knowledge of nutrition was not known, nor was their dietary intake and nutritional health status. The purpose of the study was to assess the nutrition knowledge of students at a nursing college, and to assess their dietary diversity. A quantitative study was used, with random sampling chosen for selection of campuses and convenience sampling for student group selection. Students of the KwaZulu-Natal College of Nursing were invited to complete a General Nutrition Knowledge Questionnaire. A Food Frequency Questionnaire was completed to assess dietary diversity, and respondents’ anthropometric measurements were recorded to assess Body Mass Index and Waist to Height Ratio. The results showed that a significant percentage of student nurses were overweight or obese. While students had a satisfactory knowledge of dietary recommendations and sources of different nutrients, their ability to make correct food choices, as well as their knowledge of diet-disease relationships was poor. They displayed good dietary diversity in their food intake. There were no statistically significant correlations between the students’ Body Mass Index and their knowledge, which assumes that the individual’s knowledge of nutrition does not directly influence their own food intake. It is recommended that aspects of the content in the nutrition curriculum be emphasised during the training of nurses in order to increase nutrition awareness in areas where knowledge was found to be lacking. / M

M.Cur. (Nursing Education) / Nursing education is a process requlrlng the cooperation of all the parties involved. The student nurse receives lectures on the theoretical aspects, at the college while the substance of the theory must be based on and interpreted in the clinical field. With the passage of time the student nurse finds expression, gains the necessary experience and thus becomes a member of the nursing profession. Internalization of the norms and values of the professional group takes place within the framework of the student nurse's behavioral patterns and self image. The student nurse enters the profession with fixed expectations regarding her participation and training. In general terms she is still regarded as young and immature and yet she is expected to assume responsibilities which few in the general public are ever required to take. The prerequisites for the successful! professional socialization and the acquisition of proficiency in the functions and tasks of nursing, are based on continuous and optimal accompaniment of the student nurse by her registered counterpart, who operates as an independent professional practitioner. Clinical accompaniment implies that the registered nurse shall be at the side of the student nurse to guide her every step of the way in order to support her in the learning process, or to refine skills she previously acquired.: A descriptive exploratory survey was undertaken by means of a questionnaire submitted to student nurses and registered nurses of hospitals affiliated with one college in the Transvaal. The aim of the study was "to establish whether, and to what extent, the training function of the ward sister is realized in practice. Analysis of the data showed the ward sister to be aware of her training function and her responsibility towards the student nurse as learner. It appears that the ward sister believes herself to be adequately involved with the basic care of patients and making a significant contribution to the training of student· nurses. However, the observations and the experience of the student nurse differ from this point of view. She is of the opinion that more can be done in the ward to help her achieve her training needs. The fact that in many cases she is primarily considered as a worker, comes as a great disappointment.

Aim: The overall aim is to create knowledge about how nursing students’ learning in pairs can be supported in order to create prerequisites for encounters that provide caring and learning support during clinical practice. Approach and method: A reflective lifeworld research (RLR) approach founded on the epistemology of phenomenology and hermeneutics was used. Based on interviews, diary entries and observations with patients, students and supervisors, descriptive and interpretive analysis in accordance with the RLR approach was performed. Main findings: Students’ learning in pairs is based on encountering and caring for the patients together. The responsibility of caring for the patients, which is given to the students by their supervisors, is based on supportive relationships that are characterized by movements between independence and cooperation. Supporting students learning in pairs is characterized by a reflective approach focusing on learning in togetherness, where the individual student is also reached and seen, providing opportunities for developing important abilities for learning and caring. Depending on the ability to show respect and to take responsibility a more or less supportive relationship between the patients, the students and the supervisors is created within the learning space. Conclusions: Supporting students’ learning in pairs is complex due to it taking place in a caring context, where respect must be given towards the patients, the students, the supervisors and other participants who are closely connected to the learning space. Since learning in pairs affects and interweaves learning and caring environments, a reduction to either one of them, learning or caring, is not possible but instead the learning space must be understood as a whole. Optimal conditions for learning in pairs are based on dynamic movements, which require a reflective supervising approach. If these conditions are missing, there is a risk of creating both fragmented caring and learning, where the patients ́ vulnerability and safety needs to be taken into account.

Masters of Art / Intimate partner violence (IPV) has reached epidemic proportions in South Africa, prompting the government to pass the Domestic Violence Act 116 (1998). However, numerous scholars still believe that legislation is lacking due to inadequate implementation of protocol in the healthcare sector. In the healthcare setting, nurses are usually the first people that abused women make contact with and so they are in an excellent position to identify IPV victims and prevent further abuse. Routine universal screening in the healthcare setting is recommended as a means to identify women who suffer in abusive relationships. However, several problems have been encountered with the attempts to implement screening practices. In this study the various perceived barriers to IPV screening among nursing students were examined by use of a descriptive survey approach. The research participants were 103 nursing students from the University of the Western Cape. Data were collected by means of a selfadministered questionnaire and analysed using descriptive as a means to uncover the relationship between perceived barriers and the screening practices of the participants. The aim of this study was to identify the barriers that will discourage a nurse from routinely screening for intimate partner violence in a healthcare practice. The present study’s results indicated that the majority of variance in routinely screening for IPV can be explained by barriers related to HCP knowledge of managing IPV disclosure; the perceived responses of patients to screening; the privatisation of abuse; and whether HCP regard IPV as a healthcare issue. Information, regarding the beliefs of healthcare providers (HCP) with regard to IPV as well as the barriers they perceive toward screening, will be helpful in designing curricula that will successfully teach HCP how to screen for IPV and it will also be useful in making positive changes to the screening conditions in healthcare settings.
