“…In the United Kingdom there are currently more than 40,000 nursing vacancies [ 2 ]. These shortages are leading to increased nurse workload, risk of error, adverse outcomes such as infection, sepsis or pneumonia and increased nurse burnout [ 3 , 4 ]. Increasing the recruitment of men into the profession may provide a partial solution, however, traditionally this has proven challenging for a number of reasons.…”

Background The nursing profession is facing a worldwide recruitment shortage which could be partially addressed by recruiting more males. However, in many developed countries numbers of male nurses have traditionally been low. To address this issue we developed and tested a post-primary school-based intervention to recruit more males into the nursing profession. Methods Participants included thirty-four female students drawn from an all-girls post-primary school, fifty-one males from an all-boys post-primary school and seven males and fifteen females drawn from a mixed gender post-primary school, all located in Northern Ireland. Participants were all sixteen years of age and were in receipt of careers education. The intervention titled ‘Make a Difference with Nursing’ was co-designed with careers teachers, nurses and post-primary school students. This video based intervention was created to fit within existing career lessons and featured nursing staff and students describing their experiences of the profession. Participants completed the six domains of Nursing as a Career Choice Questionnaire prior to viewing the intervention and again after viewing. Results Positive and statistically significant increases in perceptions of the nursing profession were found between pre and post test scores across all six domains. No statistically significant differences in perceptions were found between males and females after watching the intervention. Comparison by school type showed statistically significant differences on the domains of prior healthcare exposure (p = 0.046; 95% CI -0.19 to 3.79) and job prospects (p = 0.005; 95% CI 1.04 to 7.01). Students from the all-girls school rated these more positively than those from the all-boys and mixed-gender schools. Conclusions A short video presentation to post-primary school students is capable of changing how they perceive the nursing profession. Students expressed surprise over the variety of professional nursing roles suggesting that many were not well informed about the realities of nursing. Providing tailored resources for use in careers lessons can better educate students and teachers about nursing and provide positive portrayals of male role models in the profession.

“…More research is needed to determine the most effective interventions to combat nursing student burnout to improve their physical and mental health. Burnout in nursing students impacts their clinical practice and declines the quality of patient care they provide 23. Moreover, burnout during nursing school is linked to lower levels of skill mastery and intention to leave nursing 1 year postgraduation 24.…”

Effective Interventions for Nursing Student Burnout

2022

Nursing student burnout negatively impacts students' health and potentially threatens the quality of care provided to patients. 1 Burnout is a psychological syndrome that manifests in response to prolonged stress and results in feelings of emotional exhaustion, insufficiency, and detachment from work. 1,2 Nursing students are especially vulnerable to burnout because they experience stress at higher levels than students in other fields. 1,[3][4][5][6] Research has shown that burnout is rising among nursing students as they struggle to cope with stress in academic and clinical environments. 7,8 Previous authors have found that 30% of undergraduate nursing students had symptoms of burnout syndrome, 9 with 97.8% at a moderate risk for developing burnout. 10 Nursing student burnout is a significant issue that leads to decreased academic success, increased attrition, and poor clinical performance. [11][12][13] Studies have shown that stress reduction can decrease burnout. 14,15 However, research evidence describing effective interventions that specifically reduce burnout in undergraduate nursing students is limited. A scoping review is appropriate for this topic to determine what is known about interventions for nursing student burnout. This review aimed to identify published research that evaluated the effectiveness of interventions to mitigate or prevent nursing student burnout. This scoping review was guided by the following question: What are effective interventions for nursing student burnout? Methods Search StrategyThis scoping review included a search of the MEDLINE (via PubMed), CINAHL (via EBSCO), PsycINFO (via EBSCO), and Google Scholar databases for empiric quantitative and qualitative literature for problem identification, data evaluation, data synthesis, and data reporting. Although this review was not registered a priori, a search of scoping review protocols in PROSPERO and Open Science Framework confirmed no registered protocols with a closely related focus were currently in progress.

“…One strategy to address this crisis is to increase the proportion of male nurses (Kronsberg et al., 2018; Moore et al., 2020). An insufficient number of nurses is one of the greatest obstacles to society receiving adequate and quality healthcare services (Cipriano, 2022; Ghafoor et al., 2021; Rosser, 2022). For this reason, improving the perception of nursing (Glerean et al., 2017), male nurses (Lim et al., 2017), in addition to changing society's image of male nurses (Kronsberg et al., 2018), will contribute significantly to enabling the nursing workforce to reach a sufficient level and thus facilitate provions of quality health care to the public.…”

AimTo determine the effect of male nursing students’ voluntary activities on their image in society.BackgroundThe role of voluntary nursing services in enhancing the visibility of nursing in society can also contribute to enhancing the image of male nurses in society.MethodsThis study employed a one‐group, quasi‐experimental pre–post analysis design. It was carried out between September 2020 and June 2021 in the pedestrian zone, which is one of the main streets of Bartın in Turkey. Using a convenience sampling approach, tradesmen aged 18 and over operating in commercial enterprises (n = 81) were asked to participate in the study. Information form and Nursing Image Scale were used to collect the research data. Results from the paired sample t test were utilized to analyse the study's data using the intervention of ‘men nursing students' voluntary activities’.ResultsThe total Nursing Image Scale score of the participants was statistically considerably greater after the intervention than the pre‐intervention score. Based on the paired sample t test results, it was observed that the participants obtained higher scores after the intervention than before in the gender sub‐dimension as well as all other sub‐dimensions of the Nursing Image Scale, and these results were statistically significant.ConclusionAccording to the findings of the study, volunteering by male nursing students improved both the profession of nursing and the perception of men in nursing in society.Implications for nursing/health policyThis study suggested that male nursing students’ voluntary activities could be one of the strategies to overcome the nursing shortage due to its enhancing effect on the profession of nursing and the perception of men in nursing in society.
