“…These findings were further supported by their positive experiences conducting small-scale intervention projects in the community during the internship program. The beliefs and attitudes regarding increased self-efficacy that the Bedouin students developed over the course of their studies have the potential to contribute significantly to their future performance in the fields of public health practice and research [37,38].…”

The Bedouin community is a minority disadvantaged population in Israel that suffers from a variety of health and socioeconomic disparities and limited access to higher education. The current study aimed to examine perceptions, successes, and challenges experienced by Bedouin students during their studies and to assess an internship program developed on the principles of a community-based participatory research approach to public health. In-depth interviews were conducted with 34 Bedouin students studying in the public health academic track between January and April 2023. Grounded Theory was used to analyze the data. Three main themes emerged from the analysis: (1) facilitators for the decision to pursue higher education in public health, (2) challenges and coping strategies, and (3) experiences of success. The internship program included eleven Bedouin students who conducted six community intervention projects covering a range of topics with different target Bedouin populations. Higher education is crucial for empowering minorities, producing leadership, and reducing socioeconomic and health gaps. The field internship enabled the necessary alignment between academia and public health practice. It is important to further reflect on the integration of minority groups in public health studies and its role in decreasing health inequity.

Background: Healthcare professionals often face challenges in conducting and publishing research, citing a lack of biostatistical knowledge and skills as a significant barrier. In response, a Continuing Professional Development (CPD) course was developed to enhance local research capacity. Objective: This paper aims to delineate the establishment and delivery of the biostatistics course for healthcare professionals, while presenting evaluation findings focused on self-reported enhancements in knowledge, competence, and performance. Additionally, potential areas for course refinement are explored. Method: A cross-sectional descriptive analysis was conducted, utilizing routine data from evaluations aligned with accreditation standards. Data included attendance records, certificate completions, and findings from two self-report surveys administered post-course. The surveys gauged changes in knowledge and competence, achievement of course objectives, barriers to certificate completion, and long-term outcomes such as research publication. Results: Findings indicated widespread consensus on meeting course objectives, albeit with challenges noted in certain intermediate and advanced topics. Participants reported notable improvements in knowledge, competence, and performance, underscoring the course's efficacy. Long-term assessment revealed sustained biostatistical skills, with a majority crediting the course for manuscript drafting (over 50%) and publication support (42%). Conclusion: The CPD course in biostatistics yields positive outcomes in knowledge, competence, and performance among healthcare professionals. Identified challenges in advanced topics and certificate completion warrant improvements such as extending course duration, integrating cost-effective online platforms, and offering enduring material for comprehensive review. Rigorous research methodology is crucial for exploring causal relationships and enhancing the effectiveness of research capacity-building initiatives in the region.

BACKGROUND: Journal club (JC) is widely used as an educational method to support nurses in up-to-date clinical practices, acquire critical appraisal skills, and promote evidence-based nursing practice. Traditionally, JC activities were conducted as face-to-face sessions. However, after the emergence of the pandemic, many educational activities including JC turn to the online platform. This study aims to assess the perceived educational value of JC and the experience of virtual journal club (VJC) among nurses. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A cross-sectional research design was used to gather the information from the nurses using the Nursing journal club perception scale. A purposive sampling method was used to enroll 450 participants from the JC attendees of various facilities between May andAugust 2022. The data were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test and the Kruskal-Wallis test. RESULTS: The data from 450 participants were analyzed with a response rate of 40.1%. The majority of the participants were females (82.4%) and belonged to the 35-44 years' age group (39.6%). Mostly, the subjects were registered nurses or midwives (78%) and had more than 5 years of clinical experience (45.8%). The mean perceived educational value of JC and VJC was 62.9 ± 8.3 and 56.3 ± 8.9, respectively. The nurse educators are holding higher educational value of JC as compared to other participants including clinical nurses, charge nurses, head nurses, and director of nurses (P = 0.03). Additionally, 90% of participants strongly agreed that the nursing journal club helps them to disseminate and reinforce evidence-based practice, update their clinical knowledge, and was very informative. Furthermore, 80% of participants agreed that educational standards, social networking, and time allocation of the VJC are enhancing the chance of attending more sessions. CONCLUSION: The JC has a vital role in preparing nurses for promoting research culture and practicing evidence-based nursing care. The national health strategies are focused on improving research capabilities and enhancing research within the national context. The implementation of evidence-based practice in healthcare involves enhancing formal research opportunities, promoting continuing education in research, developing skills in addressing research gaps, and enhancing research-oriented cultures in healthcare facilities. The nursing leadership can play a key role to support the initiatives to develop and conduct nursing JC in their facilities to improve the nurse's research skills and evidence-based nursing practice.
