“…In Eastern Europe, Armenian nurses perceive they have low status and are not allowed to work independently (40). Sreeja and Nageshwar's literature search documented that nursing students had mixed feelings about choosing this profession; many believed that nursing offered a positive option to find a government job early, but some saw it as an opportunity to migrate or preferred teaching in the future and had negative feelings towards nursing (41). Godsey et al call for a re-branding of nursing and research to re-position nursing to overcome outdated perceptions and confusion of what nurses do and who is a nurse given the variety of educational qualifications and titles (42).…”

Oncology nursing requires specialized education and clinical training. It is not possible to deliver safe cancer nursing care across the cancer continuum with only a general nursing education and experience.Complex cancer therapies, e.g., immunotherapies, and technologies, e.g., radiotherapy, and advanced surgeries, demand nursing support delivered by knowledgeable and skilled professionals. To achieve this required workforce, necessitates cancer education that begins at pre-licensure, strong onboarding training, competency standards, continuing education and oncology nursing leadership across cancer control activities, e.g., national cancer control planning. Nevertheless, current nursing shortages, the lack of qualified oncology nursing faculty and adequate nursing schools, as well as government accreditation of oncology nursing specialties threaten appropriate cancer nursing care in the future. Given the exponential growth of the public health burden of cancer everywhere, prompt attention to the single largest workforce to support this patient population is urgent. Guidance from international authorities such as the World Health Organization, International Council of Nurses, and oncology nursing associations/societies allows governments to appropriately scale up their oncology nursing workforce to improve survival. We present the challenges in oncology nursing education and successful interventions to address those challenges to provide an overview of the current status of oncology nursing education from around the world.

Background Effective interprofessional team collaboration is one of the necessary domains for successful interprofessional collaborative practices in healthcare (IPCP), which is crucial for the delivery of safe and quality healthcare services. Therefore, understanding the contribution of interprofessional education in nursing students is vital to improving collaboration practices in nursing students, in preparation for the dynamics that await after registration in practice amongst the interprofessional team. Thus, the aim of the study was to summarise the contribution of interprofessional education in nursing education in developing competent undergraduate nursing students. Design The integrative literature review design as described by Whittemore and Knafl was adopted for the review. The review consists of five steps, namely, problem identification, literature search, data analysis, data interpretation, and the last step was data presentation. Three databases were searched for the articles, namely CINHAL, Scopus, and Science Direct. Articles were retrieved using Search terms such as “Competence,” “Contribution,”, “Development,” “Interprofessional education” and “Undergraduate nursing students” retrieved Articles published between 2018 and 2022 were selected. Results Three themes emerged from the review, namely the promotion of patient safety in nursing practice, the socialisation of nursing students in interprofessional collaboration, and the promotion of the development of professional identity. Conclusion This study is the first step in determining the contributions of early interprofessional education to nursing education. It could set the stage for further studies that examine strategies the undergraduate nursing curriculum can adopt and develop sound interprofessional competencies that promote patient safety and quality healthcare by nursing students. Impact The developers of the nursing curriculum and nursing educators can use the results in developing a curriculum that includes interprofessional education with the aim of improving the quality of teaching and learning that advances competent and safe nursing students.

Background Nursing students either possess positive or negative attitudes and perceptions about the nursing profession. Their attitudes towards the profession depict the quality of care they will offer to patients upon qualification. This study aimed to determine the attitudes and perceptions of undergraduate nursing students towards their profession. Methods This equal-status mixed methods study involved a census sample of 165 nursing students from year one to year four in two public universities in Uganda. Attitude Scale for Nursing Profession was used to collect quantitative data in the period between 20/11/2021 and 22/01/2022. Focus group discussions were held to collect qualitative data about the perceptions. Results Majority of the students (81.8%) had positive attitudes towards the nursing profession. There was a significant difference in attitudes based on year of study and entry scheme (R2 = 0.12, F = 2.21, p = 0.01). Nursing was perceived as a poorly remunerated, unpopular profession with bias towards recruitment of lower cadres. Conclusion The results of this study showed that the attitudes of undergraduate nursing students towards the nursing profession were positive but their perceptions about the nursing profession were negative. An interventional study is recommended to facilitate a more positive change among nursing students.
