Professional Values

Professional Values

Nurses are responsible for caring for patients during birth, death, illness, and healing. Professional values guide the decisions and actions that nurses make in their careers. If nurses know the decisions and actions to take, providing patients with exceptional care is possible.
The values that are the foundation of the nursing profession are altruism, autonomy, human dignity, and social justice.
First, altruism refers to the concern for the welfare and well-being of others without personal...

Professional nurses are not limited to bedside care and are taking roles of greater responsibility. A nurse should have a knowledge-based practice, including personal, theoretical, procedural, cultural, and reflexive knowledge. Additionally, nurses must be competent in cognitive, technical, interpersonal, and ethical/legal skills. Some of the best attributes of successful nurses include the following:
Communication skills: These are critical characteristics, especially speaking and listening.

Avoidance Learning and Learned Helplessness

Avoidance Learning and Learned Helplessness

Avoidance learning and learned helplessness are critical concepts in understanding behavioral responses to negative stimuli.
Avoidance learning occurs when an organism learns that a specific behavior can prevent an unpleasant outcome. For example, a student who receives a bad grade may start studying harder to avoid future poor grades. This behavior persists even when the negative outcome is no longer present. Avoidance learning is powerful because it maintains behavior in the absence of the...

Health Literacy

Health Literacy

Health literacy is an individual's or a community's capacity to comprehend, receive, read, and use relevant healthcare information and services. The World Health Organization (WHO, 2018) defines health literacy as the cognitive and social skills that determine the ability of individuals to gain access to, understand, and use information in ways that promote and maintain good health. As a result, the WHO helps individuals manage long-term health concerns, participate in preventative...

Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

E-learning shows little to no difference compared to traditional learning for health professionals' patient outcomes, behaviors, skills, or knowledge. Claims of e-learning being inherently superior may be misleading.

Area of Science:

Medical Education
Health Professions Training
Digital Health Interventions

Background:

E-learning use is increasing among health professionals globally.
Studies on e-learning effectiveness in medical practice show mixed results.
Previous research suggests potential benefits over no intervention but inconclusive results versus traditional learning.

Purpose of the Study:

To assess e-learning programs versus traditional learning for licensed health professionals.
To evaluate impacts on patient outcomes, and health professionals' behaviors, skills, and knowledge.

Main Methods:

Systematic review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) up to July 2016.
Searched multiple databases (CENTRAL, MEDLINE, Embase) and trial registers.
Included RCTs involving licensed health professionals, excluding undergraduate studies.

Main Results:

Low-certainty evidence suggests e-learning has little impact on patient outcomes (LDL cholesterol, glycated hemoglobin).
E-learning showed minimal difference in health professionals' screening or treatment behaviors for dyslipidemia.
Uncertainty exists regarding skill improvement; low-certainty evidence indicates little difference in knowledge.

Conclusions:

E-learning may not significantly differ from traditional learning in affecting patient outcomes or professional behaviors, skills, and knowledge.
General claims of e-learning's inherent superiority over traditional methods may be misleading.
Effectiveness may vary in specific medical education contexts.
