Objective: Telehealth and telenursing are becoming the new reality in studying nursing. Little is known whether undergraduate nursing students receive adequate education on telenursing for patient care. The aim for this study was to evaluate the knowledge and attitude of nursing students toward telenursing. Subjects and Methods: Students of nursing faculties from medical universities in Poland were invited to complete a survey about telehealth and telenursing. The survey was conducted utilizing a Web-based surveying platform (www .mini-ankiety.pl). Results: We surveyed 308 undergraduate students of nursing faculty-291 females (94%) and 17 males (6%)-from medical universities in Poland. There were 116 students in their first year (course) (38%) and 96 students each in the second and third years (31%). Most of the students (220 [71%]) in the study group were in the age range from 20 to 23 years. The accurate definition of telemedicine was identified by 251 (82%) respondents. The definition of telenursing was recognized properly by 230 (75%) respondents. Of the students, 207 (67%) would anticipate telenursing service implementation into the national healthcare system, and 214 (69.49%) would appreciate the addition of telenursing classes to the curriculum. Students from a few universities showed significantly higher willingness to introduce telenursing classes into nursing curriculum and the intention to use telenursing services in their future nursing practice. The difference among universities could be influenced by regional e-health initiatives. This study has shown the rise of trust in technology along with the increase in the year of nursing study. Conclusions: The current generation of university students of nursing seems to be well educated in medical informatics and technology use. They are better prepared for and open to information society membership, including the practice of telehealth. The advancement in university education has an influence on positive attitudes toward telenursing and may become a milestone in the development of e-health in Poland.
Most nurses are aware of the importance of nonverbal communication to their interactions with palliative care patients, but a substantial proportion think that they need to be better educated in theoretical and practical aspects of communication.
The effect of different concentrations of lead was investigated in two different ways in the leaves of Helianthus annuus plants. In the first way, removed leaf discs from 5-wceks old plants were floated in 0.05, 0.25, 2.50 and 5.00 mM PbNO3 solutions for 2, 4 and 6 days. In addition, the chlorophyll content and the activity of peroxidase enzyme which are the parameters of stress conditions in plants were also measured. In this experimental series, a decrease was determined in polyamine and chlorophyll contents and in the peroxidase activity in leaf discs which were treated with different concentrations of lead. In the second experimental series, one half of the upper leaves of 5-wceks old plants were used for lead treatments, while the other half for control. In half leaf experiments, lead in 0.05, 1.25 and 5.00 mM concentrations were sprayed to the both sides of the half leaves. According to the results of the half leaf experiments, 0.05, 1.25 and 5.00 mM lead treatments increased the putrescine content in 27, 15 and 9 % respectively. On the other hand, chlorophyll content and the activity of peroxidnse enzyme were decreased with the treatments of lead.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
