Entrustable professional activities in nursing: A concept analysis
No full textObjective: Entrustable professional activities (EPAs) is a newly emerging concept. This paper aims at analyzing the concept of “EPAs” to clarify the meaning and to identify its components for optimum understanding of the concept for use in nursing education and future research. Method: Three databases – ProQuest, Ovid, and PubMed– were retrieved, and Walker and Avant’s concept analysis approach was used to analyze the concept of EPAs. Results: Based on the analysis, three attributes of EPAs were defined, namely 1) EPAs should be restricted to a limited number of tasks; 2)reflect the experience curve; and 3) include acceptance of responsibility and accountability. The antecedent of EPAs is a holistic and integrated assessment approach. This will eventually lead to anticipated consequences such as a mastery of core competencies and an increase in the level of autonomy. Conclusion: The study may contribute to a reduction in the ambiguity of this concept to better apply it in nursing practice
The sustainability effects of two reading interventions on Saudi nursing students’ comprehension of scientific research
No full textBackground Scientific literature is presented in complex language, most frequently in English, and includes technical jargon that represents a challenge to comprehension of an English as a foreign language (EFL) nursing student. Yet scientific literature is a powerful and trustworthy source of evidence to guide nursing practice. Purpose The aim is to examine two reading interventions (Translation vs Synthesization) and to determine which one produces long-term sustainability effects in scientific research reading comprehension. Method A two-group posttest-only randomized comparative design was used in which 120 participants were randomly assigned to two groups. Several instruments were used to collect the data. Results Study findings showed that the synthesization group significantly produced better results when compared with the translation group on both the immediate (p = 0.01) and the delayed (p = 0.013) reading comprehension tests. It shows also that gender differences have a significant impact on reading comprehension with a favor to males in the long-term reading comprehension outcome (p = 0.038) of synthesization and females in the short-term reading comprehension outcome (p = 0.015) of translation. English proficiency was significant with determination, metacognitive, and social skills in the synthesization group (p = 0.00, p = 0.01, p = 0.007 respectively). Conclusion The results suggested that synthesization could be an effective reading approach in improving EFL nursing students’ reading comprehension of scientific literature. © 2024 Al-Moteri et al.

An Investigation into the Leadership Traits of Prime Minister Narendra Modi: A Conceptual Framework
No full textThe purpose of this research is i) to find out what unique traits make PM Modi an inspiring leader, ii) to assess if respondents\u27 perceptions differ significantly, and iii) to create a conceptual framework of leadership traits so that we can better comprehend PM Modi\u27s leadership styles. The study includes 19 leadership traits relevant to PM Modi\u27s leadership styles, extracted from previous articles and expert discussions. This study collected quantitative data from LinkedIn connections using a random sampling procedure. A self-designed questionnaire was sent to 700 people from various backgrounds to rate their agreement or disagreement with 19 leadership traits. The study was conducted in March and February 2024, with 29% of the responses (203) available for analysis. The study reveals that the top ten leadership traits in ranking order include strong \u27network building, \u27\u27self-motivation,’ ‘global perspective,’ ‘visionary leadership,’ ‘determination and result-orientation,’ ‘public direction communication skills,’ ‘proactive approach,’ ‘being organized (detailed-oriented),’ ‘integrity in the workplace,’ and ‘creative thoughts and thinking.’ The results of the Mann-Whitney test revealed differences in respondents\u27 assessments of PM Modi\u27s leadership abilities in India and other countries. There are significant differences in the perceptions of educators and other groups regarding the five leadership traits that may be linked to the lack of trust in Indian society and culture. Additionally, the factor analysis produced a five-factor model: visionary and transformative; humanistic and value-driven; decisive and result-oriented; social influencer and opinion leader; and flexibility, adaptability, and dynamic. It appears that PM Modi\u27s personality and leadership style are a perfect fit for the extended version of the Greatman hypothesis, which is the trait theory
Evidence-based information-seeking behaviors of nursing students: Concurrent think aloud technique
No full textBackground: With the expansion of scientific information, and the beginning of evidence-based practice (EBP), embracing “evidence-based information-seeking behaviors” is essential to provide effective up-to-date nursing care. To better support students’ evidence-based information-seeking behaviors, this study explores how nursing students actually search and identify evidence-based information. Methods: A concurrent think aloud technique was employed in which 12 nursing students were asked to verbalize their thoughts whilst using search engines to find EBP to inform their practice. Results: In general, searching literature per se is complex and many different searching activities are employed, including triggering, recalling, scanning, linking, accessing, retrieving, relating, extracting, evaluating and referencing. The search behavior may involve some iteration of the cyclical activities of scanning, linking and accessing. It is believed that background (recalling pre-existing knowledge), assessing relevancy, evaluating and referencing are pertinent to evidence-based practice information-seeking behavior. In view of this, the study proposes a new model of evidence-based information-seeking behaviors. Conclusion: This study presents an evidence-based information-seeking behavior model based on a number of identified searching features. Results may have important practical implications for nursing educators
