“…They have studied the prevalence of library anxiety among students in particular countries including Pakistan (Naveed, 2016) or specific disciplines such as nursing (Still, 2015); possible causes or antecedents of library anxiety (Karim & Ansari, 2013); the relationship between library anxiety and other psychological characteristics, such as foreign language anxiety (Sinnasamy & Karim, 2014); and the effects of library anxiety, such as the adoption of online library resources (Booker, Detlor, & Serenko, 2012). These studies augment the research program of Jiao and Onwuegbuzie, in terms of adding more depth to our understanding of these aspects of library anxiety.…”

“…The other article to address NHS library service provision also examines a barrier to use, in this case library anxiety on the part of student nurses. 5 Madeleine Still was working as the librarian in North Tees & Hartlepool NHS Foundation Trust, while she was undertaking a distance based MSc. She noticed that a significant number of student nurses reached the library door then stopped as if to 'psych themselves up' before actually entering.…”

The 'Dissertations into practice' feature began life in March 2012 with a dual aim: to encourage students, recent graduates and new professionals to write for publication and to highlight the impact of student research on policy and practice. This article reflects on the initiative and demonstrates that it has been extremely successful in achieving both aims. It highlights the diverse range of contributions to the feature so far and proves that student research can and does influence policy and practice. It also demonstrates that, with the right encouragement and support, students are willing and able to write for academic publication and that they gain a lot from the experience. A. M.

“… 1 With the additional recent development of information technology that enabled easy access to and sharing of information, nurses need to manage large amounts of healthcare information for their practice and knowledge building on a daily basis. 2 3 Accordingly, in order to qualify as nurses and to handle the current demands of the nursing role, 4 students should develop competencies in information processing as it plays a vital role in knowledge construction. 5 However, several reports still reveal that some newly qualified nurses struggle with inadequate nursing knowledge and skills in their new roles due to ineffective knowledge building during their undergraduate education.…”

How do Korean nursing students build knowledge? A constructivist grounded theory study

IntroductionNursing is a knowledge-intensive profession. Therefore, to cope with the demands of the nursing role, nursing students need to become competent in managing information to build nursing knowledge. However, nursing students’ knowledge building process is poorly understood. This research aimed to explore (1) nursing students’ dynamics of how they process nursing information for knowledge building and (2) nursing students’ learning context in South Korea for their knowledge building.MethodsA constructivist grounded theory approach was used for this research. Data collection was achieved through four rounds of intensive individual and group interviews with 16 fourth year nursing students in South Korea. The collected data were coded by initial, focused and theoretical coding methods. Constant comparison analysis between data, codes, memos and categories was applied.ResultsThis research identified knowledge building dynamics consisting of three cognitive processes: connecting with information, deciding to accept information and building knowledge. Five motivational factors, including learners’ interest, necessity of information, volition to learn, utility of information and the frequency of information that influence the processes were discovered. Moreover, four knowledge stages of memorising, understanding, synthesising and applying and creating emerged.ConclusionsThis is the first empirical study on knowledge building dynamics in educational environments for healthcare professionals. The findings of this research provide nursing educators with a practical model that can be used to improve nursing curricula in facilitating students’ knowledge building processes. Moreover, a deeper understanding of sociocultural influences on nursing education can assist educators to adapt and generalise the findings to their pedagogical contexts, providing a culturally sensitive and relevant approach to nursing education.
