Summary
Graduate nursing students enhanced scholarly writing skills through collaborative wiki use. This technology facilitated peer review and content creation, improving academic output and digital literacy.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Educational Technology
- Scholarly Communication
Background:
- Scholarly writing presents a significant challenge for graduate students.
- Effective pedagogical strategies are needed to support academic writing development.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the effectiveness of a wiki platform in fostering collaborative scholarly writing among graduate nursing students.
- To explore the integration of technology in enhancing academic writing skills and peer review processes.
Main Methods:
- Students utilized a wiki for collaborative content creation, peer review, and expert editing.
- Wikis were populated with evidence-based content, including pharmacology, pathophysiology, and genetics.
- Students incorporated multimedia elements and external resources into their wiki pages.
Main Results:
- The wiki assignment facilitated the co-creation, review, and editing of scholarly material.
- Students engaged with diverse evidence-based content and multimedia resources.
- The initiative exposed students, faculty, and the community to graduate student projects.
Conclusions:
- Wiki-based collaborative writing effectively supports graduate nursing students' scholarly development.
- Integrating technology like wikis enhances pedagogical approaches in higher education.
- Addressing technical challenges and providing student support are crucial for successful wiki implementation.

01:16Experimental Designs
An experimental design is a systematic process that allows researchers to evaluate the relationship between dependent and independent variables. There are three widely used types of experimental design - pre-experimental design, true experimental design, and quasi-experimental design. In pre-experimental design, the researcher compares the data before and after some interventions or treatments. The true-experimental design has more than one purposefully created group, a commonly measured...
01:12What is an Experiment?
An experiment is a planned activity carried out under controlled conditions. The purpose of an experiment is to investigate the relationship between two variables. When one variable causes change in another, we call the first variable the explanatory or independent variable. The affected variable is called the response or dependent variable. In a randomized experiment, the researcher manipulates values of the explanatory variable and measures the resulting changes in the response variable. The...
01:21Methods of Documentation III: PIE
Problem-intervention-evaluation (PIE) is a systematic approach to documentation used in healthcare settings for clinical decision-making and patient care planning. It is a structured approach to organizing patient data based on problems, interventions, and evaluations. Here's a breakdown of its key features and considerations:
01:20Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching III: Evaluation and Documentation
Evaluation of the teaching process enables the nurse to determine if the patient's learning needs were met and if training was effective. If the expected outcomes are not met, the care plan is revised, and additional education or reinforcement is provided. Nurses can ask questions after the session or obtain feedback to assess the patient's understanding of the topic.
Nurses can use several methods to evaluate patient outcomes. For example, oral questions can assess cognitive learning, patient...

01:23Methods of Documentation V: CBE
Charting by Exception, or CBE, is a method of documentation used in healthcare, particularly in nursing, that focuses on documenting only significant or abnormal findings rather than recording every detail. This approach aims to streamline the documentation process, improve efficiency, and ensure that healthcare providers can quickly identify deviations from normalcy in patient assessments.
In CBE, healthcare professionals establish predefined standards of practice that define what constitutes...
