Résumé

Introduction : La réalité virtuelle (RV) est une méthode pédagogique de plus en plus utilisée pour favoriser l’acquisition de certaines compétences chez les personnes étudiantes en sciences infirmières. Le jugement clinique lors de la surveillance d’une personne soignée en soins critiques est une compétence pouvant être développée grâce à la RV. Toutefois, avant d’intégrer cette méthode pédagogique à la formation infirmière, il est important de s’assurer de l’acceptabilité et de la faisabilité dans un contexte de formation en sciences infirmières. But : Cette étude décrit l’expérience vécue par des personnes étudiantes en sciences infirmières lorsqu’elles ont utilisé l’UVS pour …

Healthcare Ai: A Revised Quebec Framework For Nursing Education, Maggie Lattuca, Diane Maratta, Ute Beffert, Annie Chevrier, Laura Winer

Quality Advancement in Nursing Education - Avancées en formation infirmière

Artificial Intelligence Health Technologies (AIHT) are taking their place in the practice of nursing. However, the curricula have not evolved to include competencies required of nursing graduates to incorporate their impact on theory and practice. This project was born of an identified need by nurse educators to articulate new competencies grounded in the literature and expert knowledge. Based on extensive literature reviews and an iterative process of expert validation, this paper provides recommendations for five new competencies that will be needed for nurses to use AIHT responsibly, ethically, and intelligently in the best interests of patient care. The methodology started …

Introduction: The purpose of this critical reflection is to share the collective experiences of eight doctoral students transitioning through a PhD nursing program at a Canadian University.

Background: Globally, a nursing shortage of over a million nurses threatens to significantly impact patient safety and quality of care. One proposed response to the nursing shortage is to increase enrollment of students in nursing programs, with the aim of graduating more qualified nurses. However, a concurrent shortage of nursing faculty is impacting the profession’s ability to effectively respond to this issue, with fewer nurses completing doctorate degrees than there are existing vacant …

Nursing Student Experiences During A Clinical Re-Assignment To Long Term Care In The Omicron Wave Of The Pandemic, Lisa J. Doucet, Paula D'Eon

Quality Advancement in Nursing Education - Avancées en formation infirmière

Background: The peak of the Omicron wave of COVID-19 created a sudden and unanticipated shortage of healthcare workers, particularly in long term care (LTC) triggering the provincial government’s call for aid. This culminated into a collaboration between universities and government to engage undergraduate nursing students to assist by re-assigning their clinical placements. This required a shift in location to LTC from acute care, and time frame, from end of semester to mid-semester.

Purpose: The purpose of this descriptive qualitative study was to explore nursing students’ experiences at one university who participated in a clinical reassignment during the peak …

Contextualizing Learning In A Resuscitation Simulation Experience: A Supportive Approach To Simulation For Novice Learners, Robert Catena, Heather Maclean

Quality Advancement in Nursing Education - Avancées en formation infirmière

Introduction: Simulation based experiences (SBEs) continue to be utilized in undergraduate nursing programs as a teaching strategy to contextualize learning. This is especially important for novice students in a resuscitation SBE, where it is important to learn not only psychomotor skills but also the skills required for teamwork, understanding roles, and communication in teams, inherent to nursing practice.

Background: Undergraduate nursing students desire teaching strategies to support their learning during high impact SBEs, such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation. These strategies need to support novice learners by providing timely feedback on performance, uncover immediate knowledge gaps, and offer opportunities for deliberate practice. …

This study sought to examine whether the consistent application of a specific placement design to student practice learning experiences within two pre-registration nursing degree programmes offered by a university in the United Kingdom (UK) affected retention and achievement levels. The quantitative analysis involved a sample of 460 employer-sponsored undergraduates, all of whom worked as non-registrant carers, within two cohorts of a part-time adult (physical) or mental health nursing degree programme, both of four years duration, offered by a large academic institution with a presence in all four UK nations. Cross-tabulation and multinomial logistic regression analyses found no statistically significant relationship …

Quality Advancement in Nursing Education - Avancées en formation infirmière

The clinical learning environment is where nursing students gain knowledge, practice skills and become socialized into the nursing profession. Traditionally, in Canada, the clinical learning environment takes place hospital and community settings. The COVID-19 pandemic required quick thinking by nursing faculty to replace on-site clinical hours. Given the quick change-over, there was minimal consideration given to nursing students' perspectives in the planning stages. This study aimed to investigate nursing students' experience in the clinical learning environment before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. The perceived quality of students' learning experiences was assessed using the Clinical Learning Environment, Supervision and Nurse Teacher …

E-Delphi Technique In Postgraduate Registered Nursing Education And Competency Development: A Scoping Review, Natalie A. Bownes, Natalie Giannotti

Quality Advancement in Nursing Education - Avancées en formation infirmière

Background: It is common for nursing programs in Canada to hire part-time clinical instructors (CIs) to teach the practical components of curricula. Although experts in their field, these Registered Nurses (RNs) don’t have any formal preparation in education. Additionally, there are no current established competencies for CIs in Canada. This void in the Canadian literature warrants a search of competency development using the e-Delphi technique. The e-Delphi technique is a commonly used surveying technique for competency development in healthcare.

Objective: To understand the extent, range, and nature of evidence of the use of the e-Delphi technique and critically appraise its …

Quality Advancement in Nursing Education - Avancées en formation infirmière

In 2014, a team of nurse educators and champions of internationally educated nurses (IENs) in Ontario, Canada, came together to address the issue of supporting IEN transition to practice as one route to help address nursing shortages. Courses were developed with funding from the Government of Ontario, and policy and coordination support from the Council of Ontario Universities, to pilot an educational bridging pathway for IENs. The faculty team across four Ontario universities used a consortium approach to coalesce province-wide expertise in IEN education. What began as a selection of targeted, competency-based courses has since evolved into a full Competency-Bridging …
