Background:Assessing the clinical level of competency in nursing students is crucial as it represents the ultimate goal of nursing education. Poor competency result in low performance and can be influenced by various factors. Thus, the aim of this study was to identify level of clinical competency and associated factors of nursing students in Ethiopia Methods:systematic review and meta-analysis was employed. Searching strategy was conducted from January up to march 2024 from Web of Science, PubMed and Google Scholar. The quality of studies was assessed using PRISMA checklist. A meta-analysis was performed using R Studio with the meta package Version 1.4.1106. Results: in total, 145 studies were identified through database search, and only 7 studies were included in the meta-analysis representing 1937 nursing students. The pooled effect size of clinical competency of nursing students was 28%. Three factors were found to be associated with clinical competency: a positive clinical learning environment, student confidence in performing procedures, and effective staff-student interaction. The effect sizes of these factors were 6.30, 2.23, and 7.76, respectively. Conclusion and recommendation: The clinical competency of nursing students was 28%, and it was associated with clinical learning environment, student confidence in performing procedures, and staff-student interaction. Nursing education programs should focus on enhancing students' competency levels by addressing specific factors. (PROSPERO) International prospective register of systematic reviews: CRD42022367057

“…The heroic role partaken by nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic as frontliners was pivotal in sustaining the healthcare system [ 1 ]. However, notwithstanding the social significance of the profession, the image of nurses remains ambiguous, devalued, and with differing fallacies, which wield negative impacts and stereotypes from the public [ 2 ]. Society has incoherently and mistakenly deduced how the nursing profession emerged through education and its evolution from an established scientific body of knowledge and principles [ 3 ].…”

Background Studying the public perception of nurses among nursing students is vital in establishing strategic solutions to recruit and retain more students in nursing programs and to contain nurses in the health care system. Aim This study aimed to determine the mediating role of self-concept in the relationship between sociocultural and perceived public image of nurses. Methods This study employed a correlational approach using convenience sampling of 1390 participants. This study was conducted at six large universities in three regions of Saudi Arabia (central, northern, and eastern). Student nurses in their second to fourth years of study were included as participants, with an 89.7% response rate. Data were collected from January to April 2023. Results A significant positive relationship was observed between sociocultural factors and self-concept (r = .685, p = .0001). In addition, there was a significant positive relationship between self-concept and public image (PI) (r = .352, p value = 0.0001). Furthermore, there was a significant positive relationship between sociocultural and public image (r = .456, p = .0001); sociocultural had a direct effect on self-concept (β = 0.324, SE = 0.098, t = 9.429, p < .0001) and public image (β = 0.605, SE = 0.038, t = 22.617, p < .0001). Furthermore, sociocultural had an indirect effect on public image through self-concept (H6) (β = 0.389, SE = 0.123, t = 12.766, p < .0001). Discussion The study findings suggest that nursing school programs should take measures to foster a supportive environment that promotes self-concept and public image, while also being mindful of the sociocultural background. This would also open the scope for further research on the matter involving multiple centers. Conclusions This study suggests the need for programs to boost self-concept and public image that consider sociocultural influences. These ’findings have crucial implications for student nurses’ social and psychological wellbeing as they improve the understanding of how sociocultural affects self-concept and public image.

AimsThis study aimed to analyse the evolution of the public image of nursing in the context of the constantly developing nursing profession.DesignThe Rodger's evolving concept analysis was applied.MethodsPubMed, CINAHL, Web of Science, Scopus, and ProQuest databases were searched for articles published between 1 January 2001, and 30 April 2022, using the search terms; “NURS * AND image”. The selected literature was screened using Rodgers' evolutionary method to explore the attributes, antecedents and consequences of the concept.ResultsThe defining attributes were identified as nursing (nursing as the collective object), public (public as the collective subject) and information (the medium of interaction between the collective subject and the collective object). Nursing elements were classified into intrinsic elements (professional spirit, professional knowledge and professional skills) and extrinsic (appearance, language and behaviour) elements. Public elements were further subcategorized into public categories (internal organizational public and external organizational public) and public perceptions (cognition, emotion and behavioural intention). The information elements are mainly classified as information generation, dissemination, identification, processing and judgement. The antecedents and consequences of the public perception of nursing were also identified.ConclusionsThe public image of nursing is dynamic and has evolved over time. Its dynamism and malleability imply that the traditional public image of nursing can be improved through targeted interventions in nursing practice, management and education.Implications for the ProfessionIdentifying the antecedents and consequences associated with the public image of nursing will help the healthcare organizations adopt effective strategies to alleviate the shortage of the nursing workforce and promote the development of the nursing profession.No Patient or Public Contribution.
