“…This paper reports on the experiences of 3 cohorts of students and found that they consistently rated the simulation to be valuable to their learning, facilitated an increase in knowledge, understanding and insight into sensory and cognitive impairments in older adults. A criticism of previous studies that have considered empathy is that there have not been many with longer term follow up to identify if the impact of training on practice lasts beyond the short term [34]. Whilst numbers of Year 2 and 3 students were smaller in this study, Mann-Whitney u-tests show no difference between new nursing students and those with more experience with regards to their understanding and knowledge of these impairments.…”

Globally, the population is living longer and by 2050, it is predicted to reach 2.1 billion people. Sensory and cognitive impairments are common long-term conditions among older Europeans and have considerable functional, social, emotional and economic impacts on the individual and those caring for them. Nurses have frequent encounters with patients with these impairments and are expected to prioritise people, assess their needs and accommodate practice to meet these needs. In order to develop the requisite knowledge and understanding to support people living with these impairments, student nurses require an immersive and experiential approach to learning as opposed to just information transfer. This study reports on a cross-sectional analysis of a low fidelity simulation on sensory impairments as part of a wider dementia curriculum in semester one of the undergraduate nursing programme at the University of Highlands and Islands. Findings from an online questionnaire-based survey and content analysis of free text responses revealed that students found the simulation activities critical for gaining subject knowledge, understanding and insight. This study concluded that low-fidelity simulation of sensory/cognitive impairments, within the context of a broader curriculum of supportive activities, can be effective at developing relevant knowledge, understanding and gaining insights in this subject area among undergraduate nursing students.

“…On the one hand, no attention to research has been given to the impact of positivity on social entrepreneurial intention. On the other hand, empathy has been extensively studied in different research contexts (Balakrishnan & Fernandez, 2018; Bas‐Sarmiento et al, 2019; Kardos, Leidner, Pléh, Soltész, & Unoka, 2017; Wang, Wang, Deng, & Chen, 2019). However, the concept of empathy in investigating the social entrepreneurial intention of students has been scarcely studied (Bacq & Alt, 2018).…”

Social entrepreneurship is a growing area of interest among practitioners. Social entrepreneurship meets and satisfies social needs and brings social change through innovative ideas. This study aims to investigate the impact of positivity and empathy of individuals on social entrepreneurial intention. This study considers the mediating role of social entrepreneurial self‐efficacy between the relationship of positivity, empathy, and social entrepreneurial intention. In addition, this study investigates perceived social support as a boundary condition between the relationship of social entrepreneurial self‐efficacy and social entrepreneurial intention. Findings show that positivity and empathy positively influence social entrepreneurial self‐efficacy, which subsequently positively influences social entrepreneurial intention. Furthermore, results show that high perceived social support strengthens the relationship between social entrepreneurial self‐efficacy and social entrepreneurial intention. Discussions and implications based on the study findings are reported.
