Simulation Development and Delivery: Towards teaching excellence in Simulation at WINTEC.
Full text linkNurse educators are expected to keep up to date and adjust their teaching strategies to the challenging needs of the learners
•Edgecombe (cited in O’Connor, 2014) anecdotally noted that nursing faculties in New Zealand are out their comfort zones and are not familiar with what is needed in simulation delivery
Aim:
•To investigate and identify strategies to support nurse educators in preparedness and provision of simulation in an undergraduate nursing programme
It’s Like Coming Home: The Influence of an Interprofessional Placement on Māori Nursing Identity
No full textThis research explores how the Rural Health Interprofessional Programme (RHIP), an undergraduate clinical placement, influences Māori nurses’ identity and nursing practice. Although there are other professions on this clinical placement, this research explicitly explored the stories of Māori who were nursing students in the programme. The study conducted for this thesis paid particular attention to how the clinical placement on the RHIP programme connected with Māori and the influence it had on their identity and professional practice.
Significant changes have occurred in health and social services over the past ten years. The siloed clinical education of health professionals, however, had been unchanged until the RHIP. The RHIP approach focuses on ensuring that health professionals are collaboratively ready to work in health care delivery in Aotearoa New Zealand, in rural settings, with an emphasis on local Māori (iwi and hapū) communities.
Kaupapa Māori theory informed the design of this research. Data were gathered using whakawhiti kōrero with nine Māori participants who are registered nurses and had been on an undergraduate RHIP clinical placement. All participants were currently practising as Registered Nurses in Aotearoa New Zealand. Seeking the perceptions of Māori nurses who participated in the programme offers a contemporary perspective on what supports Māori identity in a clinical practice placement for an increased understanding of the needs and realities of Māori student nurses. The participants' perspectives provided a better understanding of an interprofessional clinical placement and the impact of this on them as Māori and subsequently registered clinicians. Most importantly, participants shared their stories and perceptions that illuminated common factors found in practices that strengthen Māori identity. Reflexive thematic analysis was used to identify the key themes.
The key findings from this research gave an understanding of the participants' perceptions of the RHIP programme and heartfelt insights into being Māori who are nurses working in interprofessional practice. It is essential to note this programme does not profess to use a Māori education model in its delivery framework. Instead, it uses a community-centred approach to interprofessional education in the rural setting, while simultaneously reframing the current models of siloed clinical learning and the notion of a one-size-fits-all approach. It offers knowledge of contemporary undergraduate placements from a Māori perspective and could be used to inform more effective clinical practice for Māori who are studying to be nurses
Membership of Australasian Nurse Educators Conference Scientific Committee, 2015
Full text linkThis letter acknowledges your contribution as a member of the Scientific Committee and to certify that you have peer reviewed abstracts for the 17th Australasian Nurse Educators Conference, to be held in Auckland on the 11-13 November 2015.
The review process was blind and against predetermined criteria. Your efforts in reviewing the abstracts will ensure that the conference will be recognised for the quality of the presentations.
Presenters of papers and posters from both academic and clinical settings will focus on the three sub- themes of Being, Knowing and Caring to provide an exciting forum where we can share in – Co-Creating the Future.
We hope that you have enjoyed this process. Your contribution has been greatly appreciated
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
