Summary
Nurse coaching (NC) shows promise for improving nursing students' well-being and resilience while reducing stress. This study highlights NC's potential in academic settings, offering valuable insights for future research.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Student Well-being
- Intervention Studies
Background:
- Undergraduate nursing students face significant stress, impacting well-being and resilience.
- Existing support systems may not fully address the holistic needs of nursing students.
- Nurse coaching (NC) presents a potential avenue for enhancing student support.
Purpose of the Study:
- To assess the feasibility and preliminary outcomes of a nurse coaching intervention.
- To evaluate the impact of NC on well-being, resilience, and perceived stress in nursing students.
- To explore student experiences with NC through qualitative methods.
Main Methods:
- Convergent parallel mixed-methods design integrating quantitative and qualitative data.
- Quantitative analysis included descriptive statistics and paired sample t-tests.
- Qualitative data gathered and analyzed using photovoice methods.
Main Results:
- Perceived stress showed a preliminary decrease among participants.
- Well-being and resilience exhibited small, nonsignificant increases.
- Qualitative themes included broadening perspectives, developing self-care, and managing 'doing and being'.
Conclusions:
- Nurse coaching demonstrates potential as a holistic, student-centered intervention for nursing students.
- Preliminary findings suggest NC may positively influence well-being, resilience, and stress.
- Feasibility considerations, including recruitment and retention, are crucial for future large-scale studies.

01:15Nursing Evaluation
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.

01:20Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching III: Evaluation and Documentation
Evaluation of the teaching process enables the nurse to determine if the patient's learning needs were met and if training was effective. If the expected outcomes are not met, the care plan is revised, and additional education or reinforcement is provided. Nurses can ask questions after the session or obtain feedback to assess the patient's understanding of the topic.
Nurses can use several methods to evaluate patient outcomes. For example, oral questions can assess cognitive learning, patient...

01:24Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching II: Planning and Implementation
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 insulin...
01:25Role of Communication in the Nursing Process II: Planning and Implementation
Several factors are considered while creating a patient's care plan. Motivation is a factor in improving communication, and patients often require encouragement to try different approaches involving significant change. It is essential to involve the patient and family in decisions about the plan of care to determine whether the suggested methods are acceptable. Consider meeting critical comfort and safety needs before introducing new communication methods and techniques. Allow adequate time for...
01:08Role of Communication in the Nursing Process III: Evaluation and Documentation
A successful patient outcome depends mainly on the evaluation stage of the nursing process. Evaluation determines effectiveness by reviewing what was done previously after the completion of nursing interventions. Every time a healthcare professional steps in or administers treatment, they must reassess or evaluate the action to ensure the intended result. During the evaluation phase, there are three probable patient outcomes:
01:30Current Trends in Nursing II
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,...
