Summary
Project-based learning (PjBL) enhanced nursing students' high-risk newborn care competency and reduced stress. Self-leadership skills did not significantly change, but PjBL shows promise for improving practical nursing skills.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Pediatric Nursing
Background:
- Project-based learning (PjBL) is a pedagogical approach where students gain knowledge and skills by working on authentic projects.
- Effective training in high-risk newborn care is crucial for nursing students to ensure optimal patient outcomes.
- Existing nursing education methods may not fully address the development of practical competencies and stress management in high-risk newborn care.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and evaluate a Project-based learning (PjBL) program focused on high-risk newborn care for nursing students.
- To assess the impact of PjBL on nursing students' competency in high-risk newborn care.
- To examine the effects of PjBL on nursing students' self-leadership and practicum-related stress.
Main Methods:
- A quasi-experimental, nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design was utilized.
- Participants included 45 nursing students, with 24 in the experimental PjBL group and 21 in the control group.
- The PjBL intervention involved students creating an educational video on high-risk newborn care; outcomes measured included nursing competency, self-leadership, and stress.
Main Results:
- The experimental group demonstrated a significantly greater increase in nursing competency for high-risk newborns compared to the control group.
- Practicum-related stress decreased more significantly in the PjBL group than in the control group.
- No significant difference in the change of self-leadership was observed between the experimental and control groups.
Conclusions:
- Project-based learning (PjBL) is an effective strategy for enhancing nursing students' competency in high-risk newborn care.
- PjBL can effectively reduce practicum-related stress among nursing students.
- Further integration of PjBL in nursing curricula is recommended to improve expertise in specialized care areas like high-risk newborn management.

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.

Biopharmaceutical studies constitute a vital field aiming to enhance drug delivery methods and refine therapeutic approaches, drawing upon diverse interdisciplinary knowledge. In research methodologies, the choice between controlled and non-controlled studies significantly influences the study's reliability and accuracy.
Non-controlled studies, commonly employed for initial exploration, lack a control group, rendering them susceptible to biases and external influences. In contrast,...

There are several characteristics related to delivering nursing care. One vital characteristic of the nursing process is that it can be used to protect nurses and justify the provided care. Productive use of the nursing process requires the knowledge and skills of nurses to assess and solve issues. Nurses should develop and strengthen their critical thinking skills and evidence-based nursing interventions to improve their skills in formulating nursing care plans. A well-defined approach to...

01:15Nursing Evaluation
3.6K
The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.

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...
