“…Furthermore, female nurses with diploma showed lower correlations between stress and coping in all aspects than all sample participants. This result is similar to another study conducted in Saudi Arabia (Alammar et al, 2020) and could be attributed to the smaller sample size for female nurses with diploma degree.…”

Introduction The transitional period of newly graduate nurses became more stressful, different coping mechanisms are essential. Therefore, effective coping with transition-related stress and anxiety is important for the life and professional of those nurses. Objectives To examine the transitional shock through assessing the occupational stress and coping mechanism of multi-nationality newly graduate nurses in Kuwait. Methods A descriptive correlational design was used to identify the occupational stress of the newly graduate nurses (NGNs) and their coping mechanisms during the transitional period to their professional life. All the NGNs were recruited. The total number of participants was 152 nurses. Results Highly significant correlations on almost all stress domains with p-values P < 0.01. We found that “Death and dying” was ranked as the highest stressor with a mean score of 6.20, followed by “uncertainty concerning treatment” with a mean score of 5.59, and in the “Inadequate preparation” was the least stressor with a mean score of 1.64. Conclusion “Religious coping” was the highest-ranked coping mechanism. In conclusion, NGNs have to adjust quickly to the new practical atmosphere encountered in the health care settings by using the proper coping mechanisms techniques.

Virtual and human patient simulation methods offer an effective way to increase patient safety, reduce the incidence of errors, and improve clinical decision-making skills. The study was conducted to compare the effects of virtual and human patient simulation methods on performance, simulation-based learning, anxiety, and self-confidence with clinical decision-making scores of nursing students. A quasi-experimental, stratified, randomized controlled study was conducted with third-year nursing students. The students (n = 166) were divided into experimental and control groups. The difference between the pretest-posttest scores of intragroup nursing anxiety and self-confidence with clinical decision-making and total and sub-scale scores of in-group simulation-based learning were statistically significant (P < .05). Performance scores were found to be statistically significantly high in the virtual patient simulation group (P < .001). It was determined that virtual patient simulation was superior to other methods in terms of nursing anxiety and self-confidence with clinical decision-making, simulation-based learning, and performance scores.

“…A gap between abstract, theoretical knowledge and practical skills has been identified in the literature. For instance, in a cross-sectional study that sought to explore the clinical learning environment of nursing students, the students expressed that they were not adequately prepared to handle the medication administration process at the beginning of their clinical rotation (5). Further, literature has shown that nursing students submit the most significant number of medication error reports that reach the patient, accounting for up to 44.8%, ranked second among all medical errors (6,7).…”

BACKGROUNDMedication administration is one of the critical competencies in nursing to ensure patient safety. Globally, a lack of competence in medication administration has been associated with high morbidity and mortality rates and poor patient outcomes. This study focused on assessing knowledge of medication administration among undergraduate nursing students.MATERIALS AND METHODSThis descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted between June and August 2021 in two County Referral Hospitals in Kenya. The study aimed to establish the level of knowledge on medication administration among second-year nursing students starting their clinical rotations, mainly in the medical/surgical wards. The census method was used to recruit 147 participants based on the pre-defined inclusion criteria. The data was collected using a pretested interviewer-administered knowledge questionnaire based on the World Health Organization (WHO) training curriculum on medication safety. The data was then cleaned, coded and analysed using SPSS version 26. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to summarise and compare the results.RESULTSThe average score for the medication administration knowledge was 64.8 %, S.D=5.8. The highest score was 79%, whereas the lowest was 43 %. Poor performance was noted in five of the six categories of medication administration, whereby the total number of participants who passed the knowledge assessment with a score of 70% and above was 43 (29.3%) per the international recommendations. The proportion of those who passed differed significantly from those who failed the knowledge assessment, χ2 (1, n=147) =25.31, p<0.05. The results of one sample chi-square test indicated that most students failed the knowledge assessment in the various categories (p<0.05).CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONSThe pass mark for high-risk skills such as medication administration is 70%. Therefore, the participants’ knowledge was below the recommended pass mark. Nurse educators must identify the gaps in teaching and consider including the WHO medication safety curriculum guidelines and teaching strategies in the existing institutional undergraduate nursing curriculums to enhance the medication administration process and patient safety.
