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...

Self-Evaluation: Self-Enhancement and Self-Verification

Self-Evaluation: Self-Enhancement and Self-Verification

Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

The Professional Nurse

The Professional Nurse

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.

Bioavailability Enhancement: Drug Solubility Enhancement

Bioavailability Enhancement: Drug Solubility Enhancement

Body:Bioavailability is a critical factor in determining a drug's effectiveness. It refers to the proportion of a drug that enters the circulation when introduced into the body and is, as a result, able to have an active effect. Enhancing bioavailability is essential for drugs with poor solubility, as it can significantly impact their therapeutic efficacy. Various methods are employed to increase the solubility of drugs, thereby enhancing their bioavailability.Micronization and nanonization are...

Bioavailability Enhancement: Drug Permeability Enhancement

Bioavailability Enhancement: Drug Permeability Enhancement

Body:After oral administration, poor permeability often limits the rate at which drugs are absorbed through the intestinal epithelium. Enhancing drug permeability is crucial for effective therapy, and several strategies have been developed to overcome this challenge.One effective strategy involves the use of lipid-based formulations. These formulations enhance dissolution and solubility, targeting physiological mechanisms to increase drug absorption. This includes stimulating bile salt...

Bioavailability Enhancement: Drug Stability Enhancement and GI Retention

Bioavailability Enhancement: Drug Stability Enhancement and GI Retention

Body:Improving a drug's stability in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is paramount for enhancing its bioavailability and therapeutic effectiveness. Various strategies are employed to protect the drug from the harsh gastric milieu and to ensure its release and absorption at the desired site within the GI tract.Polymer coatings are one such method used to shield drugs from the stomach's acidic environment. By preventing premature drug release, these coatings improve the bioavailability of unstable...

Area of Science:

Science Education
Teacher Professional Development

Background:

Inquiry-based learning is a key strategy for engaging students in science.
Teachers require effective professional development to implement inquiry-based instruction.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the impact of a professional development program on teachers' efficacy, confidence, and content knowledge.
To assess the long-term effects of the program on teachers' beliefs and practices.

Main Methods:

Teachers participated in a summer academy and implemented inquiry-based lessons.
Teacher efficacy, confidence, and content knowledge were measured at three time points: pre-program, post-program, and six months post-program.
Reflective practices and instructional modifications were documented.

Main Results:

Significant improvements in teaching efficacy, confidence, and science content knowledge were observed immediately after the program.
These gains were sustained at the six-month follow-up.
The professional development program positively influenced teachers' core beliefs about their instructional capabilities.

Conclusions:

The professional development program effectively enhanced teachers' capacity for inquiry-based science instruction.
Sustained improvements in teacher efficacy and confidence indicate the program's lasting impact.
Findings support the value of sustained professional development in promoting effective science teaching methodologies.
