Abstract:

Saudi Arabia’s culturally diverse population is growing rapidly. The need for cultural competence is greatest in Paediatric units where nurses provide care to children in collaboration with their parents. Aims: To assess the level of culture competence among RNs in Saudi Arabia. Method: The sample of 394 nurses and cross-sectional descriptive correlational design was used to investigate nurses’ cultural competence, and to examine the relationships between there variables and participants’ demographic data. Using non- probability sampling, nurses working in Paediatric units across five hospitals in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia’s capital, were asked to complete a self-report questionnaire. Three of these hospitals are under the Ministry of Health (MOH), and the other two are under the Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE). Results: An analysis of the data showed a mean cultural competence score of 4.88, and a mean self-reported competence of 4.13. These results suggest a high degree of cultural competency. Participants’ scores on the Culture Awareness Sensitivity subscale indicated high levels of perceived cultural awareness and sensitivity (M=4.98, 71.1%). The mean Culture Competence Behaviour subscale score for the performance of culturally competent behaviours was (M=4.78, 68.2%). Conclusion: The findings revealed a high level of culture competence despite a lack of information with respect to patient views.

Developing human capability through education technologies is yet to catch up in India more so in nursing education system. Indian education segment has realised the potential and effectiveness of imparting knowledge through technology, more and more institutes are adopting interactive whiteboards and various audio-visual techniques like projectors and LCDs. Interactive Whiteboards in the Indian education system has started playing instrumental in enhanced teaching experience. Metro cities have grasped the technology very well.

Advancement of digital technology in all industries including the education sector, have gradually started embracing these technologies to modernise their offerings. Online education, e-learning and its innovations got a sudden boost with the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic in early 2020.

Digital technology was pivotal in continuing education, which was disrupted due to the widespread infection and subsequent lockdown. Students were spread across geographies and were forced to learn from their homes. Various remote learning tools, features and solutions helped nursing institutions and students to carry on with their education uninterruptedly. Online modes of learning and teaching traverse brick-and-mortar walls to reach the fingertips of individual nursing learners.

Digitalisation has flattened the world. Education is also being impacted by the same. Borders have shrunk, ability to scale has been enhanced, quality education is easily accessible and the emerging in a competitive environment.

Abstract:

COVID-19 has impacted every aspect of life around the world. Nursing education has moved classes online. Undoubtedly, the period has been stressful for nursing students. The scoping review aimed to explore the relevant evidence related to stressors and coping strategies among nursing students during the COVID-19 pandemic. The scoping review methodology was used to map the relevant evidence and synthesize the findings by framing the research question using PICOT, determining the keywords, eligibility criteria, searching the CINAHL, MEDLINE, and PubMed databases for the relevant studies. The review further involved study selection based on the PRISMA flow diagram, charting the data, collecting, and summarizing the findings. The critical analysis of findings from the 13 journal articles showed that the COVID-19 period has been stressful for nursing students with classes moving online. The nursing students feared the COVID-19 virus along with experiencing anxiety and stressful situations due to distance learning, clinical training, assignments, and educational workloads. Nursing students applied coping strategies of seeking information and consultation, staying optimistic, and transference. The pandemic affected the psychological health of learners as they adjusted to the new learning structure. Future studies should deliberate on mental issues and solutions facing nursing students during the COVID-19 pandemic.
