“…Using descriptive research methods, the self-designed ‘Questionnaire on the Status Quo of unintentional injury Knowledge of children within One Year’ was used for the investigation. The questionnaire was designed by nursing experts and safety trainers, and the content was divided into three parts [ 7 ]: (1) basic information about children at home, including birth time, name, mother’s age, mother’s education level and the main caregivers, (2) unintentional injuries in children within 1 year, including the cause, location and basic treatment measures, (3) unintentional injury knowledge questionnaire with infant knowledge points (total of 100 points), including the causes, preventive measures and basic handling of unintentional injuries in children. There were 10 items in total; each item was divided into 5 levels, with 2 points for each level.…”

Background Nursing experts regularly visited the community to deliver safety education on the prevention of unintentional injuries in children to the parents of children aged 0–6 years and to pregnant women in a maternity school. This was undertaken to explore the effects of the measure on preventing unintentional injuries in children in Chizhou, China. Methods Using the convenience sampling method, the guardians(it means mother in this study)of children were investigated. The nursing experts visited communities in which the number of nursing experts is declining. Data on unintentional injuries in children in the previous year were collected retrospectively. Results After the nursing experts delivered safety education to the community, the scores of the questionnaire on unintentional injury prevention knowledge completed by children’s guardians increased significantly (p < 0.01). Among the children whose guardians completed the questionnaire, there were 157 cases of unintentional injury in 2020 and 103 cases in 2021 (p < 0.05). The types of unintentional injuries included scratches, falls, sharp object injuries, swallowing of foreign bodies, burns and traffic accidents; there was no statistical difference (p > 0.05). However, there were significant differences in terms of gender ratio and location (p < 0.05). Conclusion In conjunction with the maternity school for pregnant women and the vaccination programme, nursing experts delivered safety education regarding unintentional injuries in children; this may have promoted safety and protection awareness in the children’s guardians and reduced unintentional injuries.

“…As an emerging education approach, EPAs augment competency-based education and bridge the gap between student learning and professional practice (Al-Moteri, 2020; Keating, 2021; ten Cate, 2013). Competencies are best operationalized and easier to assess when used in conjunction with EPA’s (Anthamatten et al, 2020). An EPA represents a component of professional practice and can incorporate multiple competencies (Chesbro et al, 2018).…”

Introduction: Nurses work in global settings and must be prepared to enter practice and provide culturally appropriate care to diverse populations. As faculty we want to ensure the achievement of programmatic, national, and global competencies for our student’s successful future practice. Methods: Aligning current programs with American Association of Colleges of Nursing’s (AACN) New Essentials provides an opportunity to consider new approaches and address challenges. By merging the New Essentials with the Consortium of Universities for Global Health (CUGH) competencies, we facilitate the achievement of programmatic outcomes, mission, and values in nursing education. Results: Using an entrustable professional activities framework provides a clear measure of achieving priority competencies. We created an approach other faculty might find helpful. Discussion: Entrustable professional activities, well established in medical education, are emerging as a valuable tool to measure the achievement of competencies in the preparation of nurses.

“…In essence, the EPAs needed for nursing education need to account for a wide array of skills and competencies. Nursing educators, likewise, have to therefore constantly evaluate and improve their programmes to help equip nurses with the skills and knowledge to practice safe and high-quality care in various settings 8 16…”

Entrustable professional activities in nursing education: a scoping review protocol

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

IntroductionEntrustable professional activities were introduced in medical education more than 15 years ago. EPAs define units of professional practice that can be fully entrusted to sufficiently competent professionals. Today, EPAs have been developed and implemented in many health professions, as the concept is useful in bridging the gap between competency-based education and the daily tasks health professions have to deal with in the workplace. While some evidence exists in medical education, the role of EPAs in nursing education is not yet fully understood. Therefore, the overall aim of this scoping review is to describe the current body of evidence regarding EPA implementation in nursing education.Methods and analysisA two-stage screening process will be used during the search phase, in order to screen retrieved abstracts and titles that focus primarily on the discussion of EPA in nursing education in all languages within the last two decades. The electronic databases, OVID (Embase and PubMed combined) and EBSCOhost (CINHAL and ERIC combined), as well as grey literature will be searched. The search period ranges from 1 January 1995 to 31 December 2021. Data will be extracted according to study design, context (geographical location and type of nursing programme), details of EPAs mentioned (title, specifications, limitations and competency domains), as well as evidence of implementation, outcomes and effect sizes.Ethics and disseminationEthical approval is not required as this review will be using previously collected data. Review findings will be published in a peer-reviewed journal and presented at scientific conferences.
