Background
It has been suggested that the university environment, to improve students’ health status and educational outcomes, should be based on a health promoting approach. More knowledge is needed about health promoting resources and lifestyle factors that may be of value for students in higher education and their future work-life balance. The a...
The growing global instability has increased the demand for healthcare and disaster response skills among registered nurses (RNs). However, research shows that RNs are not sufficiently prepared for disaster situations. Although RNs are responsible for managing injuries during armed conflicts in accordance with International Humanitarian Law (IHL),...
Introduction: Ethical competence in professional practice can be considered essential among nurses and nurses in ambulance care encounter ethical dilemmas frequently. To enhance ethical competence among students in the ambulance specialist nursing program, high-fidelity simulation scenarios including ethical dilemmas were introduced as a learning a...
Introduction
Healthcare systems worldwide are facing numerous challenges, such as an aging population, reduced availability of hospital beds, staff reductions and closure of emergency departments (ED). These issues can exacerbate crowding and boarding problems in the ED, negatively impacting patient safety and the work environment. In Sweden a hybr...
Introduction
Registered nurses play a critical role in disaster response and patient care during crises. Recent global events underscore the importance of preparedness for disaster response. However, the readiness of registered nurses and their educational preparation vary. In Sweden, this prompted the National Board of Health and Welfare to introd...
Objective
The aim was to explore whether occupational balance is associated with health, health-promoting resources, healthy lifestyle and social study factors among students during higher education within healthcare and social work.
Design
The study has a multicentre repeated cross-sectional design. Data were collected via a self-reported, web-ba...
BACKGROUND
Transition programs for newly graduated nurses in hospital settings are reported to provide learning opportunities, strengthening confidence, workplace integration and skills, retention and job satisfaction. Still, our knowledge of long-term effects is scarce and few studies have used control groups.
OBJECTIVE
To explore the long-term i...
Background
It is a common ethical challenge for ambulance clinicians to care for patients with impaired decision-making capacities while assessing and determining the degree of decision-making ability and considering ethical values. Ambulance clinicians’ ethical competence seems to be increasingly important in coping with such varied ethical dilemm...
Background
Medicine is facing a global shortage of nurses, including those with postgraduate education. One suggested educational method for undergraduate and postgraduate education, such as specialist ambulance nurse education, is simulation-based education (SBE). The implementation of SBE is motivated, in part, by the desire to attract and retain...
The study aims to investigate new graduate nurses the perceptions of educational preparedness, their challenges, and their expectations during their transition to hospital care and introduction to work. Background: Previous research has raised questions about new graduate nurses’ (NGNs) preparedness for work in the clinical setting, and transition...
Introduction:
A lack of understanding of personal experiences related to limb amputation and prosthetic use limits the extent to which clinicians involved in rehabilitation can support and advise their clients in a person-centered consultation. The objective of this qualitative study was to explore the personal experience of daily life as a lower...
Introduction
Critical thinking is regarded as imperative to healthcare quality and patient outcomes; therefore, effective strategies in nursing education are required to promote students’ critical thinking abilities, leading to their success in clinical work. Accordingly, simulation-based education has been suggested as a measure for achieving this...
Older patients' perceptions of the Swedish ambulance service
Background:
As worldwide life expectancy increases, the Swedish Ambulance Service is likely to be affected by the demographic shift towards a larger proportion of older persons. An older population tends to increase the demand for ambulances, indicating a need to illuminate older patients' perspective. Thus, the aim of this study was to explore ol...
Aim
This study aimed to explore how new graduated nurses experience a one-day simulation based education, contributing to providing care in acute situations two months after completion.
Background
Simulation-based education is often offered to new graduated nurses as part of important workplace learning. Simulation-based education is a valid learn...
Introduction
Simulation-based education is frequently used in transition programs for new graduate nurses. Simulation-based education is implemented as a measure to practice nursing skills, gain experience, and prepare nurses for caring in challenging situations, such as acute situations. However, concerns about the data supporting the use of simul...
Aims
To explore factors that predict novice nurses’ trust in their ability to provide care in acute situations and identify factors that are related to their perceived ability to make clinical judgements in acute situations.
Design
Exploratory cross‐sectional study.
Methods
Novice nurses employed within somatic care in Swedish hospitals completed...

Under sjuksköterskeutbildningen ska studenten tillägna sig generella färdigheter som ger förutsättningarna för att vårda i en mängd olika miljöer. Ett område som beskrivits som särskilt problematiskt för den nyutexaminerade sjuksköterskan är att vårda i akuta situationer. Den här avhandlingen beskriver akuta situationer ur nyutexaminerade sjuksköte...
Background
Novice nurses need to be better prepared to provide care in acute situations. There is currently no validated scale specifically measuring nurses’ perception of their ability to provide care in acute situations. The aim of this study was to develop and examine the psychometric properties of a scale that measures novice nurses self-report...
Nurses play an important role in detecting, interpreting and deciding appropriate actions to take in order to care for patients in acute situations. Nevertheless, novice nurses are reported as feeling unprepared to provide appropriate care in acute situations. In order to address this issue, it is important to describe factors in nursing education...
Background:
Today's nurses face complex patient challenges and increased patient acuity. Novice nurses may feel unprepared for some of the tasks facing them. In order to prevent adverse events and improve patient outcomes, the management of acute situations has been identified as an area needing attention. Despite this, it is not yet clear what no...
Patients in intensive care suffer from severe illnesses or injuries and from symptoms related to care and treatments. Environmental factors, such as lighting at night, can disturb patients’ circadian rhythms. The aim was to investigate whether patients displayed circadian rhythms and whether a cycled lighting intervention would impact it. In this p...
The aim of this paper is to explore how contextualization of a healthcare simulation scenarios impacts immersion, by using a novel objective instrument, the Immersion Score Rating Instrument. This instrument consists of 10 triggers that indicate reduced or enhanced immersion among participants in a simulation scenario. Triggers refer to events such...
