“…Although both professions aim to increase well-being, different professional goals could have created the significant difference in attitudes towards older adults’ sexuality. Whereas social workers seek positive social change and defend clients’ rights, nurses seek to provide health care assistance to reduce patients’ suffering (Bagdonaite-Stelmokiene, Zydziunaite, Suominen, & Astedt-Kurki, 2016).…”

We examined ageist beliefs, attitudes, and knowledge towards sexuality in later life among 148 nursing students and 137 social work students in their first year of studies. The students completed the Fraboni Scale of Ageism, the Attitudes and Knowledge towards Older Adults' Sexuality Scale, and questionnaires regarding contact with older adults, prior sexual education, and socio-demographics. The results indicated that nursing students have more conservative attitudes towards older adults' sexuality. Ageist beliefs correlated positively with more conservative attitudes towards older adults' sexuality. These conservative attitudes 'were negatively correlated with knowledge about sexuality in later life. Older students have more knowledge about sexuality in later life and more permissive attitudes towards older adults' sexuality. Religious students have less knowledge, and more conservative attitudes, towards older adults' sexuality. Previous sexual education was not associated with the students' attitudes and knowledge towards older adults' sexuality. Implications for designing continuing education programs are discussed.

“…In order to practice caring, nursing students perceived that professional skills were essentialthey needed to be equipped with the ability to perform their professional duties with good skill, confidence, a creative manner, and the ability to use technology. Nursing students in the reviewed articles asserted: "To be a good caregiver, one needs to have good skills acquired in the course of practice" (Bagdonaite-Stelmokiene et al, 2016). Professional knowledge: Professional knowledge refers to the knowledge possessed by health professionals that is needed for the provision of healthcare services, and which is comprised of practical knowledge and the ability to think critically.…”

“…Nursing students perceived that professional ethics were required when practicing care, and these ethics referred to a sense of duty, respect for human dignity, prioritization of patient interests, and giving equal consideration to all patients. Nursing students understood ethics to mean: "There is no discrimination; assistance is rendered to the small and young, the old, disabled, homeless, and alcoholaddicted" (Bagdonaite-Stelmokiene et al, 2016); "In order to care one must accept responsibility …" (Wilkes & Wallis, 1998); "Treating the patient with dignity and respect …" (Kapborg & Berterö, 2003); "… Putting them first" (Rosser et al, 2019). Continuing education: Continuing education is described as the lifelong development of expertise or education in the nursing profession, which aims to improve the quality of nursing services.…”

“…In order to perform care in nursing, up-to-date and modern knowledge in nursing expertise is required in perpetuity. Nursing students asserted that the development of knowledge was an important factor in the provision of care to patients: "You must have diverse knowledge, which has to be updated from time to time" (Bagdonaite-Stelmokiene et al, 2016). Nurse self-care: Nursing students perceived nurse self-care to mean taking responsibility for their own personal well-being, which could potentially affect their professional care.…”

“…Nurses should not neglect their personal self-care while pursuing their careers, and they needed to maintain a work-life balance, drawing a boundary between their workplace and home. Nursing students emphasized the importance of a work-life balance in the practice of caring: "It is important to learn not to bring the clients' problems back home, but to leave them behind your office door" (Bagdonaite-Stelmokiene et al, 2016).…”

Aim: Exploring nursing students' perceptions regarding caring is essential, especially for nursing educators, in order to provide information for planning a curriculum in nursing education. The aim of this literature review was to synthesize the literature regarding nursing students' perceptions of caring based on the available primary research. Design: A literature review. Methods: Six electronic databases (Web of Science, PubMed, Science Direct, SCOPUS, Wiley Online Library, and SAGE) were searched. Articles were selected according to PRISMA guidelines. A thematic synthesis framework was applied in this review. Results: Thirteen primary studies were included and synthesized, and seven analytical themes emerged. The analytical themes were: caring as presence, caring as support, caring as professionalism, caring as communication, caring as establishing relationships, and patient well-being as a positive outcome of caring. Conclusion: Caring was perceived variously in this review, and consisted of physical aspects, emotional aspects, and professional aspects, together with obedience to the nursing codes of ethics. Finally, it was felt that being caring to patients should not mean that nurses neglect their own self-care.

The growing emphasis on learning with and from patients has shifted the focus from education and healthcare professionals to the student–patient relationship. The relationship between student and patient, with a supportive preceptor as a resource, can influence the progression and development of an authentic person-centred approach to care among students. The purpose of this study was to analyse the congruence between nursing students’ and patients’ views of their relationship during students’ clinical placement. The study compared data from cross-sectional matched cohort pairs of nursing students (n = 187) and patients (n = 187) in Finland. The data were collected between March 2015 and May 2016 using corresponding questionnaires and procedures in both cases. Both students’ and patients’ views were moderately or weakly congruent in terms of facilitative relationship, characterised as a mutually enriching relationship for both students and patients through dialogue. Patients, however, tended to see the relationship significantly more often as mechanistic, focusing on students learning practical skills, compared to students who saw the relationship more often as facilitative. Patients’ age and the reasons for care were the only background variables that predicted the congruence between students’ and patients’ views of their relationships. These findings suggest ways in which student–patient relationships can be made more meaningful in supporting learning in clinical education.
