Background:The growing ageing population and the increasing prevalence of non-communicable diseases call for innovation and healthcare mastered professional skills. Emerging digital learning contents envisioning to complement education, lifelong learning and in-service training. The use of digital platforms allows nurses to access contents in several formats, enabling the required pedagogical autonomy and personal time management. This allows nurses to enrol in education wherever accessible, reducing personal and professional costs and ensuring high-quality standards. Objectives: To assess students and nurses' easiness, usefulness and intention to use a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) as an educational resource to enhance self-management intervention skills in COPD patients. Methods: An exploratory, descriptive and transversal study was conducted. Participants were nursing students, registered nurses and rehabilitation nurses. A questionnaire supported by Davis Technology Acceptance Model and on the determinants of the ease-of-use perception of Venkatesh was applied. An EFA was performed and two dimensions were obtained (perceived easiness and global quality of the course and perceived usefulness and intention to use the MOOC) and groups were compared in these dimensions. Results: From the total participants (n = 93), 65.6% were nursing students, 15.1% were Portuguese nurses and 19.4% were Portuguese rehabilitation nurses. The perceived easiness and global quality score of the course were 4.70 (SD = 0.314) and the perceived usefulness and intention to use the MOOC was 4.73 (SD = 0.346). Rehabilitation nurses, who are older, scored higher than nurses and students (χ 2 (2, n = 93) = 8.43, p = .015, ε 2 = 0.092). The dropout rate was 25%. Conclusions: The MOOC showed usefulness and nurses' intention to use this educational resource in future education and yielded high average rates of perceived easiness and global quality. These massive courses unlock new opportunities for nursing education and to lifelong learning in nursing, enhancing safety and quality of the healthcare services in supporting patients to achieve a better quality of life.
Purpose – This study aims to map scientific knowledge in industrial marketing. Design/methodology/approach – The research was conducted on the basis of a quantitative and descriptive research using scientometric analysis based on scientific records. It analyzes more than 14,000 scientific records on the Scopus database from 1956 to 2009. The sample fits Bradford’s and Lotka’s power laws of distribution of science in use. Findings – The study reveals the existence of four stages: the genesis of this stream of research (1956-1984), the early development (1985-1995), the consolidation of production (1996-2003) and the phase of scientific maturity (from 2004) with an increasing number of records in recent years. Regarding authorship, there is a clear predominance of single authorship and an average increase in the number of authors per record from one to two authors for recent years. The main sources of knowledge are the Journal of Business & Industrial Marketing and the Industrial Marketing Management journal. A statistical significance is shown between the number of records and the number of papers per journal, highlighting that Management Science and Industrial Marketing Management journals are the most cited sources. Practical implications – Practitioners find in this paper a sound basis for a wide perspective of the key issues addressed by researchers on industrial marketing over the past decades, as well as good insights in terms of the main challenges faced by companies in this field. Originality/value – Evidence was found of the existence of a long tail behavior in scientific literature of industrial marketing regarding chronology, sources, number of records with a single author and number of records cited.
Introdução: A Reabilitação Respiratória (RR) integra a componente não farmacológica das principais guidelines clínicas para o controlo e tratamento das doenças respiratórias crónicas. O Enfermeiro de Reabilitação (ER), integrado numa equipa multidisciplinar, concebe, implementa e monitoriza programas de RR onde se inclui o treino do exercício. Sendo o conhecimento disciplinar de enfermagem um dos pilares da decisão clínica e a garantia da qualidade e segurança dos cuidados de enfermagem torna-se relevante conhecer o impacte destes programas, conduzidos por ER, de forma a melhorar a prática clinica. Objetivo: Conhecer o impacte dos programas de RR, conduzidos por enfermeiros, nas pessoas com doença respiratória crónica. Metodologia: Scoping review com metodologia do Joanna Briggs Institute® com recurso a dois revisores independentes. Resultados: incluímos 10 estudos que revelaram que programas de RR conduzidos por enfermeiros de reabilitação aumentam a tolerância ao exercício, a qualidade de vida, a independência funcional e reduzem a dispneia e a ansiedade. Conclusão: A RR realizada por ER em pessoas com doença respiratória crónica é sobreponível à mais recente evidência. Palavras-chave: Treino de exercício, Enfermagem de Reabilitação, Reabilitação Respiratória, Doença respiratória crónica
