“…Research literature indicates that multiday perioperative clinical exposure would be beneficial and provide significant learning experiences for students; participant-provided feedback after some perioperative elective courses was positive. [47][48][49] Other student benefits include the opportunity to interact with perioperative nursing specialists, the chance to have a clinical experience that adds to student knowledge and understanding, improved communication skills, and informed career choices. [47][48][49][50] A "think-tank" activity between the National League for Nursing and AORN revealed that the majority of skills expected of a new graduate nurse could be learned in perioperative settings.…”

Perioperative nurse leaders are facing an unprecedented nursing shortage. Very few baccalaureate nursing programs in the United States prepare graduates for perioperative nursing, and many current perioperative nurses are retiring from practice or leaving the field for other reasons. It is a challenge for nursing administrators to fill the vacant positions because it takes several months to orient a novice perioperative nurse and it involves significant costs. This article provides current information about perioperative nurse and leader shortages, discusses the effects of the shortages on patient safety and health care facility finances, and reviews the available literature about perioperative nursing education from both an academic and health care facility administrative perspective. In addition, this article presents strategies for addressing the nursing shortage and describes implications for clinical practice, education, and research.

“…For these students, it may be necessary to incorporate coping techniques in their dissection and prosection practices [5], such as the use of audio-visual aids to explain dissection rules, procedures and familiarization with cadaver donation [10], the use of background music in the dissecting lab [44], or humanizing the students' encounter with a human cadaver by reflecting about life and death [45]; additionally, understanding the personalities of our students can help those who are anxious about the dissecting room experience [21,46]. These methods could be extrapolated to other educational environments where students report having feelings of fear and anxiety, such as the surgery room or the autopsy room [47][48][49][50].…”

Anxiety levels among health sciences students during their first visit to the dissection room

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background: The teaching of human anatomy is often based on practices of cadaver dissection and prosected specimens. However, exposure to human cadavers might be stressful and anxiety-inducing for students. The aim of this study is to explore the degree of satisfaction and anxiety among first-year students in the Medicine, Occupational Therapy, Speech Therapy and Nursing programmes at the Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha (Spain) who are experiencing their first dissection/prosection practice to develop stress coping strategies. Methods: A total of 204 health sciences students participated in this study. The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory was used to evaluate anxiety. Results: 'State Anxiety' (SA) decreased significantly throughout the course (p < 0.05), from 20.7 ± 19.29 to 13.7 ± 11.65 points. Statistical differences (p < 0.05) in SA were found between the different health sciences, and prepractice SA was significantly different from post-practice SA. The students with the highest pre-practice SA levels were nursing students (31.8 ± 33.7 points), but medical students had the highest post-practice SA levels (18.4 ± 12.82 points). Conclusions: Although students were satisfied with dissection practices (96.8% of them recommended that the practices be retained for future courses), the experience can provoke stressful responses that must be addressed using advanced preparation and coping mechanisms, especially among medical and nursing students.

“…In general, focus groups are moderated interacting individuals of common knowledge, that come together to explore and clarify issues on complex issues which may not be possible using other methods [36]. Evaluation of subsidies through FGD are ideal in this case as it explores and explains the complexity of possible long-term future outcomes of subsidized forest works on forest structure development, especially when targeting an enhancement of vertical MFF.…”

Expert Evaluation of Subsidies for the Management of Fragmented Private Forest in Regards to National Biodiversity Goals—The Case of Kochi Prefecture, Japan

This paper presents an expert evaluation of the subsidy scheme for private forest plantations in Kami City, Kochi Prefecture, Japan, to determine whether the twelve currently available subsidies are designed to realize national biodiversity goals. Subsidies for forestry practices are often criticized for rarely achieving planned outcomes and for environmental threats. Threats to natural balance of private forest have been observed in Kochi Prefecture, suggesting that current forestry subsidies may not be achieving national objectives. The utilization objectives, type of management, requirements, area, intensity, and subsidy rates were contrasted to the three forest multifunctionality objectives of the National Biodiversity Strategy of Japan (NBSJ) 2012-2020, to identify subsidy weaknesses. Focus group discussions (FGD) were conducted in the study site, as well as Bavaria, Germany and Steiermark, Austria, to get a big picture of how experts in these comparable management areas evaluate the Kochi subsidy scheme. Analyses were performed based on a combination of framework analysis and constant comparison analysis. It was found that realization of vertical multifunctionality is hindered due to lack of site-specific management. A six-point proposal for restructuring the subsidy scheme, leaned on results, and the Bavarian subsidy scheme was made. To improve vertical multi-functionality, subsidy schemes should focus on forest owner integration and site-specific, long-term oriented forest works.
