Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...

Accountability and Responsibility of a Nurse II

832
Professional accountability in nursing is a multifaceted concept that encompasses professional ethics, legal standards, and employment expectations. This framework ensures that nurses maintain and elevate the quality of care while upholding the values of their profession. It compels them to treat patients, families, and colleagues with respect, compassion, and integrity.
For example, a nurse demonstrating respect and compassion might listen attentively to a patient's concerns, provide...

Longitudinal Research

12.6K
Sometimes we want to see how people change over time, as in studies of human development and lifespan. When we test the same group of individuals repeatedly over an extended period of time, we are conducting longitudinal research. Longitudinal research is a research design in which data-gathering is administered repeatedly over an extended period of time. For example, we may survey a group of individuals about their dietary habits at age 20, retest them a decade later at age 30, and then again...

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Online Learning
  • Adult Learner Psychology

Background:

  • Online RN-BSN programs are increasingly popular for adult learners seeking career advancement.
  • Understanding factors influencing student persistence in online nursing education is crucial for program success.
  • Accelerated academic progression tracks offer a faster route to degree completion, potentially impacting student experience.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To quantitatively compare persistence scores between adult learners in accelerated versus traditional academic tracks in online RN-BSN programs.
  • To examine differences in perceived stress, social support, and goal attachment related to academic progression speed.
  • To determine the extent to which these factors differ based on track type.

Main Methods:

  • Quantitative, causal-comparative research design.
  • Utilized the Persistence Scale for Online Education-Nursing (PSOE-N) to measure persistence.
  • Compared scores between two groups: accelerated track (n=18) and traditional track (n=26) adult learners.

Main Results:

  • Statistically significant differences (p < .05) were found in total PSOE-N scores between the accelerated and traditional tracks.
  • Mean scores for perceived stress and support also differed significantly between the two groups.
  • Goal attachment scores demonstrated a significant difference when comparing the accelerated and traditional progression tracks.

Conclusions:

  • The speed of academic progression in online RN-BSN programs significantly influences adult learner persistence, stress, and goal attachment.
  • Findings suggest that accelerated tracks may present different challenges or benefits impacting student outcomes compared to traditional tracks.
  • Implications for nursing education include tailoring support mechanisms and program structures to optimize persistence in diverse online learning pathways.
