“…Our study finding that nurses with advanced education level had more positive attitudes compared to nurses with basic education was similar to a recent study on nurses from a tertiary hospital in the United States which also found that nurses with advanced education had better attitudes towards IPC (Brown et al, 2015).…”

Interprofessional collaboration (IPC) has been shown to improve patient outcomes, cost efficiency, and health professional satisfaction, and enhance healthy workplaces. We determined the attitudes of primary care physicians and nurses towards IPC and factors facilitating IPC using a cross-sectional study design in Singapore. A self-administered anonymous questionnaire, based on the Jefferson Scale of Attitudes toward Physician-Nurse Collaboration (JSAPNC), was distributed to primary healthcare physicians and nurses working in National Healthcare Group Polyclinics (N = 455). We found that the mean JSAPNC score for physicians was poorer than that for nurses (50.39 [SD = 4.67] vs. 51.61 [SD = 4.19], respectively, mean difference, MD = 1.22, CI = 0.35-2.09, p = .006). Nurses with advanced education had better mean JSAPNC score than nurses with basic education (52.28 [SD = 4.22] vs. 51.12 [SD = 4.11], respectively, MD = 1.16, CI = 0.12-2.20, p = .029). Male participants had poorer mean JSAPNC score compared to females (50.27 [SD = 5.02] vs. 51.38 [SD = 4.22], respectively MD = 1.11, CI = 0.07-2.14, p = .036). With regression analysis, only educational qualification among nurses was independently and positively associated with JSAPNC scores (p = .018). In conclusion, primary care nurses in Singapore had more positive attitudes towards IPC than physicians. Among nurses, those with advanced education had more positive attitudes than those with basic education. Greater emphasis on IPC education in training of physicians and nurses could help improve attitudes further.

“…In some cultures, ''human dignity, safeguarding the client, caring, working together in a supportive'' are more important than other values; in some other cultures, values such as ''being honest, ambitious and responsible'' can have a higher priority. 8,[12][13][14]18,[25][26][27][28][29] For this Turkish sample, human dignity was reported to be the value highest in priority. This result suggests that nurses in Turkey value and respect humans and individuality the most in their clinical practice and that they place great importance on this value.…”

“…Consequently, lack of professional qualities negatively influences effective nursing services, the development of the profession and its image, and the quality of healthcare received by the public. [12][13][14] Nurses' professional values were created by the members of political and social systems, including professional nursing unions and educational institutions. These values are human dignity, autonomy, a sense of responsibility, security, and activism.…”

Aim This study evaluates the effectiveness of an educational intervention in the area of nursing knowledge and practice relating to neonatal respiratory distress syndrome. Background In Jordan, respiratory distress is the leading cause of death among neonates. Recent studies have revealed a knowledge deficit relating to respiratory distress among nurses in neonatal intensive care units, hence the need for advanced training and specialization in this area. Methods A quasi‐experimental, repeated‐measures, one‐group pre‐test–post‐test design was used to assess the effectiveness of the educational intervention. A convenience sample of 48 nurses was recruited from three hospitals in northern Jordan. A self‐reporting questionnaire was used to assess the respondents’ knowledge of respiratory distress and an observational checklist to assess their practice. The study intervention consisted of 12 two‐hour lecture‐based interactive teaching sessions lasting 4 weeks. A follow‐up assessment was conducted 1 month after the post‐test. Results The baseline assessment revealed that more than half of the nurses scored low on knowledge and the majority scored low on practice. One‐way repeated ANOVA showed that post‐test and follow‐up test scores on nursing knowledge and practice were significantly higher than the baseline scores. Conclusion The study findings show the efficacy of educational interventions in enhancing nursing knowledge and practice relating to the care of neonates with respiratory distress. Implications for nursing and health policy For neonatal nurses, periodic teaching and training interventions are essential to ensuring the quality nursing care required to reduce morbidity and mortality rates among neonates. Health policymakers should support nurses in pursuing educational opportunities aimed at enhancing their knowledge of advanced neonate care.
