“…Here we used forma mentis networks in order to highlight changes and similarities in the mindsets of a small group of nursing and engineering students who took part in a summer job/project focusing on assisted healthcare with robotics. The analysis of such population is of relevance when related to the challenge of silo-driven education in Norway (Thistlethwaite, 2012;Zaytseva, 2016), where professionals are trained only in specific backgrounds, e.g., nursing students are trained only in nursing while engineering students only in engineering. As a result, the new generation of workers in the labour market can work within only one domain of practice, which makes it very hard for trainees to adapt to the introduction of new methods of work and tools provided by emerging technologies.…”

“…A similar pattern of improved and more concrete perceptions in the nursing students holds also for ''technology'' and ''engineering'', which were related to ''innovation'', ''future'' and ''development'' after the intervention. These findings indicate the development of positive professional relationships between robots, technology, innovation and professionals, which is going to become of primary importance in the Norwegian healthcare sector after the current investments in e-health (Rognstad, 2002;Zaytseva, 2016).…”

“…Health and welfare belong to highly complex domains, where expertise implies in-depth professional knowledge in medicine, biology of human body and lifestyle patterns, as well as knowledge in health policy, law, budget and labour management (Zaytseva, 2016). Moreover, the nature of health-and homecare domains sets high requirements for healthand homecare professionals, like being exceptionally empathetic and sensitive to human needs, rather than ''aggressive in gaining new knowledge, learning and competing (which is the case for high-tech professionals).…”

“…Moreover, the nature of health-and homecare domains sets high requirements for healthand homecare professionals, like being exceptionally empathetic and sensitive to human needs, rather than ''aggressive in gaining new knowledge, learning and competing (which is the case for high-tech professionals). The labour market of Norway is in increasing demand for more professionals in nursing, with skills and knowledge in technology (Zaytseva, 2016). Hence, the investigation of the evolution of the mindsets of interacting nursing and engineering students represents a challenge to the silo-driven educational system persisting in Norway Thistlethwaite (2012) and Zaytseva (2016), which educates future professionals to work within only one domain of practice, thus making it hard for these trainees to adapt to the introduction of new methods, especially in the cross-disciplinary Norwegian expanding field of e-health.…”

In this way, the exploration of changes in the cognitive perception of health-and homecare students (as future professionals) represents an innovative experimental testing environment for assessing the overcoming of a silodriven education Thistlethwaite (2012) and the development of inter-professional and communicative skills of critical relevance for the job market Begat, Ellefsen & Severinsson (2005), Thistlethwaite (2012), Zaytseva (2016) Thomas & Zaytseva (2016) of emerging technologies, health and welfare.…”

Reconstructing a “forma mentis”, a mindset, and its changes, means capturing how individuals perceive topics, trends and experiences over time. To this aim we use forma mentis networks (FMNs), which enable direct, microscopic access to how individuals conceptually perceive knowledge and sentiment around a topic, providing richer contextual information than machine learning. FMNs build cognitive representations of stances through psycholinguistic tools like conceptual associations from semantic memory (free associations, i.e., one concept eliciting another) and affect norms (valence, i.e., how attractive a concept is). We test FMNs by investigating how Norwegian nursing and engineering students perceived innovation and health before and after a 2-month research project in e-health. We built and analysed FMNs by six individuals, based on 75 cues about innovation and health, and leading to 1,000 associations between 730 concepts. We repeated this procedure before and after the project. When investigating changes over time, individual FMNs highlighted drastic improvements in all students’ stances towards “teamwork”, “collaboration”, “engineering” and “future”, indicating the acquisition and strengthening of a positive belief about innovation. Nursing students improved their perception of ‘robots” and “technology” and related them to the future of nursing. A group-level analysis related these changes to the emergence, during the project, of conceptual associations about openness towards multidisciplinary collaboration, and a positive, leadership-oriented group dynamics. The whole group identified “mathematics” and “coding” as highly relevant concepts after the project. When investigating persistent associations, characterising the core of students’ mindsets, network distance entropy and closeness identified as pivotal in the students’ mindsets concepts related to “personal well-being”, “professional growth” and “teamwork”. This result aligns with and extends previous studies reporting the relevance of teamwork and personal well-being for Norwegian healthcare professionals, also within the novel e-health sector. Our analysis indicates that forma mentis networks are powerful proxies for detecting individual- and group-level mindset changes due to professional growth. FMNs open new scenarios for data-informed, multidisciplinary interventions aimed at professional training in innovation.
