“…For nursing professionals in particular, whether they are working in hospital emergency rooms or at disaster sites, there is an expectation that they will be proficient in core nursing competencies. Specifically, the expectation is that nurses will have the professional knowledge and skills needed to perform assessments of patients [4], while also being able to communicate with other team members to deal with various unexpected clinical issues such as chronic disease exacerbation or outbreaks of infectious diseases [5]. It is the combination of professional skills and collaborative teamwork that allows nurses, like other healthcare providers, to recognize, assess, and manage contingencies; help administer the proper kinds of care; and make appropriate ethical choices in the process [3,6].…”

Objective: The study intended to combine team-oriented, problem-based learning (PBL) with emergency-care simulation to investigate whether an integrative intervention could positively impact the core nursing competencies and teacher performance of nursing students. Methods: The study belonged to the domain of action research, which aimed to address the weaknesses of traditional teacher-led, lecture-based learning. An 18-week, single-case experimental design, in which 58 senior nursing students at a medical university in central Taiwan participated, was conducted to test the possible benefits of the intervention. The measures included the Scale of Core Nursing Competencies and the Teacher Performance Evaluation Scale. Results: The research results showed that nursing students who received integrative training that combined team-based PBL with emergency-care scenario simulation had stronger mastery over core nursing competencies. At the same time, they also evaluated both the “Emergency Care” course for which the curriculum was used and the teachers’ performance in that course more highly. Conclusions: The findings suggest that an integrative curriculum combining team-based PBL with scenario simulation is worth pursuing. Compared with traditional teacher-led, lecture-based teaching, this curriculum may be more effective in helping nursing students develop core competencies in their field.

It is well recognized that both college and noncollege students are at-risk age groups for alcohol consumption. We investigated the alcohol consumption habits of undergraduate students with an emphasis on binge drinking. Participants (N = 809, 61.2% female) were freshmen attending courses at one of the main universities of southern Italy. They were asked to fill out a paper-and-pencil questionnaire that was administered between October 2017 and January 2018. Nearly 90% of the questioned students reported drinking alcohol during the 12 months before the survey. Among them, 31.4% of female students and 41.5% of male students engaged in binge drinking, mainly once a month; binge drinkers preferred highly alcoholic beverages during parties, underestimated the alcoholic content of their drinks, started drinking alcohol at a younger age than nonbinge drinkers, and drank weekly and between meals. Binge drinkers started smoking earlier than their peers, and a great number of them consumed illicit drugs. Moreover, 30.3% of female and 34.8% of male nonbinge drinkers declared that they consumed 6 or more units of alcohol in one occasion, making them unaware binge drinkers. Furthermore, approximately 50% of students recognized that alcohol consumption has effects similar to those induced by illicit drugs but only considered their peers' drinking behavior to be risky. This study highlights that most students involved in this survey expose themselves to a risky lifestyle by heavy drinking and, most alarmingly, that some of them are not even aware of that.

“…Screening and BI services integrated into all healthcare delivery levels could be the potential solution to address alcohol use and related problems in the LMIC. Systematic reviews on screening and BI suggested efficacy in both men and women across life-spans (adults and adolescents) and settings (primary care and emergency) [9,15,37,47]. Previous reviews suggested that, whereas content and settings of brief intervention did not influence the outcome, the practitioner group and age group of the population moderated the effect [15,30].…”

Efficacy of brief intervention for harmful and hazardous alcohol use: a systematic review and meta‐analysis of studies from low middle‐income countries

et al. 2021

Background and Aims: Low and middle-income countries (LMIC) have a disproportionately higher alcohol-attributable disease burden, in conjunction with a minimal focus on primary prevention. Screening and brief interventions can be a promising approach to address this problem. This systematic review aimed to perform a qualitative and quantitative synthesis of studies of brief interventions for harmful and hazardous alcohol use in LMIC.Methods: Systematic review of randomized controlled trials of brief interventions for harmful and hazardous alcohol identified from four electronic databases, conducted in any country identified as LMIC as per the World Bank. We measured differences in intervention and control groups on risk-scores using standard screening instruments, the frequency of heavy drinking, the drinking risk-level, or quality of life and other mental health-related outcomes.Results: A total of 14 studies were included, seven of them from South Africa. On standardized screening instruments, the brief intervention (BI) group had significantly lower scores than controls at 3 months (Hedges' g = − 0.34, P = 0.04), but the effects did not persist at 6-and 12-month follow-up (g = − 0.06, P = 0.68 and g = 0.15, P = 0.41, respectively). There was little evidence to suggest that BIs led to changes in the frequency of heavy drinking or change in the risk level of alcohol use. Surprisingly, a single session (g = −0.55, P < 0.001) fared better than multiple sessions (g = −0.03, P = 0.85). A nurse delivered brief intervention (g = −0.44, P = 0.02) showed better results than BIs delivered by others (g = −0.14, P = 0.66), whereas the outcomes were similar for young adults and middle-age people. Conclusion:Brief interventions for alcohol use show some promise in low-and middleincome countries. Specifically, a single session, nurse-delivered brief intervention for harmful and hazardous alcohol use appears to show a small but significant positive effect in low-and middle-income countries.
