Deteriorating Patient Training Using Nonimmersive Virtual Reality: A Descriptive Qualitative Study
This study evaluated student, simulation technician, and lecturer perspectives on student performance after virtual training for care of a deteriorating diabetic patient. Second year nursing students learned using a virtual patient simulation, which was a follow-up of a randomized controlled trial that took place during the academic year 2017–2018. Group and individual interviews were conducted comprising the 21 staff and students involved in the virtual reality simulation in four individual lecture sessions. Five themes emerged from this study: engagement, immersion, confidence, knowledge, and challenges. Student partic...

User Engagement Using an Etextbook: A Descriptive Study
Engagement is an integral pedagogical component underpinning effective educational activities and is of importance for educators using online platforms. Carefully designed, technology-enabled learning resources can increase student engagement. We developed an open educational resource etextbook on vital sign measurement using an interactive and multimodal platform to facilitate student learning. The etextbook design was informed by experiential teaching-learning theory. Students progressed through the etextbook at their own pace, following pedagogy informed by the iterative process of read, observe, practice, and test, com...

Data Science Methods for Nursing-Relevant Patient Outcomes and Clinical Processes: The 2019 Literature Year in Review
Data science continues to be recognized and used within healthcare due to the increased availability of large data sets and advanced analytics. It can be challenging for nurse leaders to remain apprised of this rapidly changing landscape. In this article, we describe our findings from a scoping literature review of papers published in 2019 that use data science to explore, explain, and/or predict 15 phenomena of interest to nurses. Fourteen of the 15 phenomena were associated with at least one paper published in 2019. We identified the use of many contemporary data science methods (eg, natural language processing, neural n...

Measuring Nurses' Transition to Electronic Handover: Validation of the Perception and Adaptation Readiness of Electronic Handover Systems Scales
The transition from traditional handover methods to electronic handover is extremely stressful to nurses. This psychometric evaluation study tested the validity and reliability of the perception and adaptation readiness of electronic handover system scales for hospital nurses. A total of 253 Taiwanese nurses from a medical center participated in this study from January to March 2018. The perception and adaptation readiness of electronic handover system scales were self-developed, and content validity was tested via content validity index of the scale. Exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were utiliz...

Development, Application, and Effectiveness of a Smart Device-based Nursing Competency Evaluation Test: A Mixed-Method Study
We aimed to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of a smart device–based test to assess Korean undergraduate students' clinical nursing competency, named SBT-NURS. The 65-item SBT-NURS comprises questions that simulate clinical situations, are problem solving–oriented, use multimedia (ie, videos/photos/animations), and involve the following topics: medical-surgical nursing, fundamentals of nursing, pediatrics, maternity, management, and psychiatric. We utilized a quantitative method to analyze the effects of the SBT-NURS (ie, via a single-group, post-experimental survey design) and a qualitative method to analyze stu...

Nursing Praxis for Reducing Documentation Burden Within Nursing Admission Assessments
The purpose of this quality improvement project was to conduct a scholarly assessment of the information collected within the nursing admission encounter and implement content revisions across three pilot medical surgical units. The guiding principles were to preserve regulatory information, identify nurse-sensitive data, and eliminate nonessential information. The goal was to decrease the number of clicks and time expended to document electronically an acute admission encounter by 20% and to project the number of hours returned to patient care as a result of decreasing computer clicks. A second goal was to quantify the pr...

Virtual Simulation in Undergraduate Nursing Education: Effects on Students' Correct Recognition of and Causative Beliefs About Mental Disorders
Virtual simulation as an emerging nursing pedagogy can facilitate optimal learning through the use of experiential learning and technology. The purpose of this prospective cohort study was to assess the long-term effects of virtual simulation on undergraduate nursing students' recognition of and causative beliefs about depression and schizophrenia. Students' responses from the simulation cohort (n = 149) and the nonsimulation cohort (n = 150) at a school of nursing in the United States were compared. While students' responses were fairly similar between the two cohorts, students who received virtual simulations more often ...

Nurses' Electronic Medical Record Workarounds in Mental Healthcare Settings
This study aimed to examine nurses' EMR workarounds in mental healthcare settings. Of the 52 nurses invited to participate in this study, 50 nurses (96.1%) completed the survey using the EMR nursing workaround instrument and open-ended questions. The data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson's correlation coefficients. The descriptive data were grouped into four units including the cases, contributing causes, and consequences of EMR workarounds, and suggestions for improving EMR implementation. The results showed scores above an average of 3.0 in all of the EMR workaround items, indicating the c...

Automating Time-Consuming and Error-Prone Manual Nursing Management Documentation Processes
A German regulation requires nursing managers to document patient-nurse ratios. They have to combine heterogeneous hospital data from different sources. Missing documentation or ratios that are too high lead to sanctions. Automated approaches are needed to accelerate the time-consuming and error-prone documentation process. A documentation and visualization system was implemented. The system allows nursing managers to quickly and automatically create the documentation required by the regulation. Interactive visualization dashboards assist with the analysis of patient and staff numbers. The developed method was effectively ...

Understanding and Accommodating Patient and Staff Choice When Implementing Video Consultations in Mental Health Services
During the COVID-19 pandemic, some mental healthcare in the United Kingdom has moved online, with more likely to follow. The current evidence base for video consultations is modest; hence, this study seeks to aid decision-makers by reporting on one large National Health Service mental health trust's video-consultation pilot project. Patients' choices/preferences were gathered via online forms; and staff's views, through a focus group. The typical patient was female, 26 years old, living in a deprived locality. Consultations typically lasted 37 minutes, saving patients 0–30 minutes of travel and £0–£3.00. Satisfaction...

Academic and Nonacademic Predictors of BSN Student Success on the HESI Exit Exam
First-time success rate on the NCLEX-RN examination has significant implications for BSN students, faculty, and schools of nursing. Many nursing programs utilize standardized examinations such as the HESI Exit Exam to quantify student success on knowledge of nursing concepts and to prepare students for success on the NCLEX-RN. Nursing faculty must be able to identify predictors of student success early in the nursing program in order to offer appropriate support and remediation. The purpose of this retrospective, correlational study was to determine predictive variables of BSN student success on the HESI Exit Exam in a sou...

Feasibility of Wearable Universal Serial Bus Utilization to Support Clinical Trial Participant Safety Management: A Pilot, Qualitative Descriptive Study
Clinical trials are exploratory in nature and thus present a degree of risk for those individuals who participate in the trial. Risks include adverse events, which are undesirable experiences that arise from use of investigational products or devices that may cause participant injury or withdrawal from the clinical trial. The prevention of adverse events is a challenge given the lack of interoperability among organizational electronic health records and reliance on wallet cards to communicate safety-related information, leaving the burden of describing research-related information to external providers on the trial partici...
