Mental Health Literacy in Nursing Students: Insights From a Cross-sectional Analysis
No full textMental health literacy is crucial for nursing students to deliver effective patient care; however, its development throughout their academic journey remains underexplored. This study aimed to assess mental health literacy among nursing students in the UAE and examine factors influencing their literacy levels. A quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted from February 2024 to August 2024 using convenience sampling. A total of 295 undergraduate nursing students participated in the study. Data were collected using the Mental Health Literacy Questionnaire (MHLq) and analyzed using SPSS software (version 24). Descriptive and inferential analyses were conducted to calculate means, standard deviations, percentages, and measures of association using t-tests for students’ sociodemographic variables, dimensions, and global scores, with a significance level of 0.05 for the tests. The findings indicated that participants (all female, with a mean age of 20.7 ± 1.85 years) had a mean MHLq score of 108.19 ± 10.53. Fourth-year students scored higher (110.78 ± 9.79) than lower-year students (106.85 ± 10.68). Students with family or friends who were affected had higher scores (48.00 ± 6.16) than those without (45.97 ± 6.16). The highest-scoring domain was knowledge of mental health problems (46.59 ± 6.40), while self-help strategies scored lowest (16.99 ± 2.61). Students with a personal history of mental illness had lower scores. The study also indicated a statistically significant association between students’ marital status, their level of study, and their first-aid skills and help-seeking behavior. The study highlights the importance of integrating mental health literacy into undergraduate nursing curricula to enhance student’s ability to provide patient-centered care for individuals with mental health disorders. Implementing targeted educational strategies focusing on awareness, recognition, and communication may strengthen students’ competency and preparedness for mental health care practice
New Directions in Teaching and Education Presented in “Ruch Pedagogiczny” in the Interwar Period
No full textThe article presents references to European and world experiences in the field of pedagogy “New Education”, which were most often presented through scientific or popular science journals. One of them was the “Ruch Pedagogiczny” (The Pedagogical Movement), edited by Henryk Rowid, the author of the concept of the “school of work”. In this journal were published articles presenting pedagogical views of such educators as John Dewey, Georg Kerschensteiner, Helen Parkhurst, Ovide J. Declory, Rudolf Steiner and others. The articles published in “The Pedagogical Movement” were aimed at encouraging teachers to abandon traditional teaching and education methods (based on the assumptions of Herbart’s 19th century pedagogy) and to choose innovative pedagogical solutions.W artykule przedstawiono odniesienia do europejskich, czy światowych doświadczeń w obrębie pedagogiki nowego wychowania. Czyniono to najczęściej za pośrednictwem czasopism naukowych lub popularnonaukowych. Do jednego z nich należał „Ruch Pedagogiczny” redagowany przez Henryka Rowida, autora koncepcji szkoły pracy. Na jego łamach prezentowano aktualne poglądy takich pedagogów, jak: J. Deweya, G. Kerschensteinera, H. Parkhurst, Owidiusza J. Decroly᾽ego, Rudolfa Steinera i innych. Poprzez „Ruch Pedagogiczny” starano się zachęcać całe środowisko nauczycielskie do odejścia od tradycyjnych metod nauczania i wychowania (mających swoje oparcie w dziewiętnastowiecznym herbartyzmie) na rzecz nowatorstwa pedagogicznego
Educational outcomes of emerging teaching methods in undergraduate nursing education: a systematic review and meta-analysis protocol
No full textIntroduction Undergraduate nursing education is essential in preparing competent and compassionate healthcare professionals capable of addressing the complex challenges in today’s healthcare landscape. This protocol proposes a systematic review of the educational outcomes of virtual/augmented reality, flipped classrooms, team-based learning and gamification compared with traditional or didactic methods in undergraduate nursing education. Methods and analysis A systematic review protocol based on Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis Protocol guidelines will be conducted. Experimental and observational studies published from 2014 through 2024 will be identified by searching the electronic databases PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Web of Science and CINAHL that compare emerging with traditional or didactic teaching methods among undergraduate nursing students. Two reviewers will independently assess titles and abstracts to identify relevant studies based on eligibility criteria. Two additional reviewers will extract data from full-text articles that meet these criteria, evaluate the risk of bias and assess the quality of the selected studies. The meta-analysis will include effect size, heterogeneity, subgroup analyses and publication bias tests. Ethics and dissemination Ethics approval is not required. The publication will be in peer-reviewed journals and presented at national and international conferences. PROSPERO registration number CRD42024618288
