“…Nursing trainers with students should design and execute practical work in internship and novitiate courses. It is also recommended that both hospitals and nursing colleges deans try to help nurses obtain communicational skills and necessary knowledge of instructing the patients as reliable persons who can design, execute and evaluate Educational programs for patients ( Sideras et al, 2013 ). This study has limitations, which must be addressed.…”

Background:Most basic nursing skill is communicating with the patient. Nurses must be able to provide their professional services well for patients while communicating with them therefore examining the professional skills of nursing students as those who make the future nursing community is of great importance.Objective:The aim of this study was Investigation of nursing students’ verbal communication quality during patients’ Education in Zahedan hospitals: southeast of IranMaterials and Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted on 95 nursing students in two Educational hospitals of Zahedan, Iran from November 2013 through March 2014.sampling method was census. Researcher made checklist was used to gather the data. Statistical tests of frequency distribution, mean, SD and chi-squire were used to analyze the data.Results:Most of the students in the start N=45 (47.4%) and during N=48 (50.5%) of verbal communication with the patients had the good verbal communication but in the end of communication the patients most students N=33 (34.7%) had average verbal communication and N=31 (32.6%) of them had poor verbal communication.Conclusion:Since quality of verbal communication in the end of patient education is poor and good communication between the patient and nurse is the basic component of patient care and its Educational plans should be coordinated with clinical practices and be parallel to it, also effective methods must be used.

“…In some countries, simulation by means of SPs is a fairly frequent method employed in nursing education. Sideras et al have explained that the Association of Standardized Patient Educators defines SPs as "individuals (…) trained to portray a patient with a specific condition in a realistic, standardized and repeatable way… [They] can be used for the teaching and assessment of learners, including physical examination and other clinical skills in simulated clinical environments... [SPs] can also be used to give feedback and evaluate student performance" [25]. In our study, the SP was one of the co-authors of the BBDST-R, who was familiar with the screening procedure.…”

Dysphagia is a common and potentially serious problem in patients with neurological conditions. In many countries, dysphagia screening is used, which contributes to better patient outcomes. In Greece, the implementation of dysphagia screening has not yet been described. The aim was to examine the effectiveness of an educational session delivered to Greek masters-level nursing students and their faculty on the correct use of an 8-item nursing dysphagia screening instrument developed in the Czech Republic. Methods: Fifteen students and nursing faculty members of the Technological Educational Institute of Athens were enrolled in this descriptive pilot study. They were educated on dysphagia in a session consisting of a theoretical and practical part and a discussion. The participants were asked to indicate their clinical experience with dysphagia and their opinion on the importance of nurses' involvement in dysphagia assessment. Their knowledge of the screening procedure and interpretation and documentation of the result was tested using a hypothetical patient case. Results: In this study, 4 (27%) participants had prior experience with patients with dysphagia. All of them thought that nurses' involvement in dysphagia assessment was very important. Slightly more than half of the participants identified, interpreted, and documented all of the 8 item results correctly. Conclusion:The participants were motivated to learn, however, complete mastery of the assessment technique was not achieved. The learning experience was affected by several issues that were unique to Greece, and the participants' efforts focused on understanding how the new knowledge and skills could affect their daily practice. Direct ongoing support in the clinical setting could be beneficial.

“…Likewise, simulation can foster a high level of student responsibility in a scenario; something that may not be possible in a traditional clinical setting. [4][5][6] The transition from carefully controlled educational experiences to a fast paced clinical world of increasing patient complexity requires a strong sense of self confidence, critical thinking, clinical reasoning, and teamwork. Novice regis-tered nurse (RN) graduates must be competent, safe, and efficient in their first job.…”

Newly licensed Registered Nurses (RNs) have an obligation to be safe and effective in their first job. The transition of nursing graduates to the new RN role should ensure the key components of safety and effectiveness are present. Transitions can be made more effective through the use of simulations. Rubrics can be used in simulations to help validate progression in learning from simple to more complex care concepts. A study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of the use of simulations utilizing rubrics to assess progression in performance in second degree students enrolled in an accelerated nursing program. Findings indicate that the use of simulation, utilizing Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN)-based rubrics for assessment, can improve competence in patient care and safety, thus contributing to a successful transition to practice.
