Summary
Professional nursing requires self-care. This study found that curricular interventions positively impacted nursing students' self-care behaviors, showing initial positive changes and no decline in these essential practices.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Professional Development
- Student Well-being
Background:
- Professional nursing roles necessitate personal self-care.
- Prelicensure nursing students require support for developing self-care behaviors.
- Integrating self-care education is crucial for future healthcare professionals.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the impact of curricular interventions on nursing students' self-care behaviors.
- To assess changes in nursing students' perceptions of self-care.
- To determine if self-care behaviors are maintained or improved through targeted education.
Main Methods:
- A study was conducted on prelicensure nursing students.
- Curricular interventions were integrated to promote self-care.
- Self-care behaviors and perceptions were evaluated post-intervention.
Main Results:
- Few statistically significant changes in self-care behaviors were observed.
- Trends indicated that self-care behaviors were beginning to change positively.
- No decline in self-care behaviors was detected among the students.
Conclusions:
- Curricular interventions show a positive impact on nursing students' self-care.
- Early positive changes suggest the interventions are effective.
- Continued focus on self-care in nursing curricula is recommended.

The nursing process provides a clinical decision-making framework for patients and families to establish and implement a personalized care plan. Since part of the nurse's duties is to teach patients, the steps of the nursing process are the most effective way to approach instruction. The nursing process and the teaching-learning process are inextricably linked.

Implementation is the execution of the nursing care plan developed during the planning phase.
The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.

Planning for learning involves the development of a teaching plan. Teaching plans are similar to nursing care plans—both follow the steps of the nursing process. Planning in the teaching process involves setting goals and outcomes. Here, goals identify what a patient needs to achieve to understand a healthcare topic better, whereas the outcomes are the action to be performed by the patient to achieve the goal within a timeframe. For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about...

Nursing interventions are chosen as part of the planning process to achieve patient outcomes. Once nursing diagnoses are determined, the goals and outcomes are specified, then the nursing interventions are selected and individualized according to the patient's situation.

Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...

Creating and executing a nursing diagnosis helps nurses plan care and guide patient, family, and community interventions. They are developed based on a patient's physical evaluation and support measuring the outcomes. It is not recommended to select random interventions throughout the planning process. Instead, consider the following six essential factors when choosing interventions:
