- Learning evidence based practice through involvement in investigation actiities:Publication . CARDOSO, MÁRIO; Baixinho, Cristina Lavareda; Ferreira, Óscar Manuel Ramos; Nascimento, Patricia; Pedrosa, Ana Rita; Gonçalves, PauloObjective: to understand how students perceive their involvement in investigation activities and how they contribute for the development of evidence-based practices. Method: qualitative, cross-sectional, descriptive, and exploratory study, carried out in Portugal, in August 2019. A focus group of eight participants was formed to answer the question: “What are the advantages of the participation of nursing students in investigations for the development of knowledge, attitudes, and performance in the use of evidence?” The software NVivo was used for a content analysis. Results: five categories and subcategories emerged from the qualitative analysis of findings: selflearning, integration of theory and practice, interdisciplinary work, evidence-based decision making, and scientific literacy. Conclusion: creating an effective learning experience helps building knowledge and can contribute for the health of the community, for improved educational results during the internship, and for the development of the abilities necessary for Evidence Based Practice.
- Being a nursing student in times of COVID-19Publication . Baixinho, Cristina Lavareda; Ferreira, Óscar Manuel RamosAim: To understand how the pandemic has affected nursing students in clinical teaching contexts. Method: This was a qualitative, exploratory, cross-sectional, and descriptive study. The participants were five newly graduated nurses who had completed the last clinical internship of their program during the COVID-19 pandemic. The narratives were analyzed using content analysis. Results: Five categories emerged: Difficulties felt in integration; difficulties in completing clinical internship; the influence of the pandemic on students’ expectations regarding the clinical internship for integration into professional life; fears related to COVID-19, and suggestions for training nursing graduates to prepare them to manage pandemic situations. Conclusions and implications for practice: The clinical internship was experienced with anxiety, fear, and pressure to achieve the skills required for professional practice, with the possible support provided by clinical supervisors, who were also under pressure given the increased work overload caused by the pandemic. The study allows for recommendations for the area of nursing education and research.
- Autopercepção dos estudantes sobre a participação em atividades extracurriculares de transferência de conhecimento :Publication . Baixinho, Cristina Lavareda; Ferreira, Óscar Manuel Ramos; CARDOSO, MÁRIO; Nascimento, Patricia; Pedrosa, Rita; Gonçalves, PauloIntrodução: A emergência de um novo paradigma na formação na área da saúde apela ao aumento das competências associadas à ciência, para que os futuros profissionais tenham conhecimento sobre métodos e técnicas de investigação e utilizem a literacia científica como uma ferramenta de trabalho. Objetivos: Compreender como os estudantes percepcionam o seu envolvimento nas atividades do projeto da Transição Segura e o contributo para o desenvolvimento de uma prática baseada na evidência. Métodos: Focus Group com oito estudantes finalistas de enfermagem, que respeitavam os critérios de inclusão e que participaram no projeto. A análise qualitativa dos achados seguiu as etapas da codificação; armazenamento/recuperação e interpretação. Estudo aprovado por uma Comissão de Ética. Resultados: A análise do discurso dos participantes permitiu a definição de cinco categorias sobre o seu envolvimento no projeto: trabalho interdisciplinar, integração teórico-prática, tomada de decisão clínica baseada na evidência, autoaprendizagem e literacia científica e respectivas subcategorias. Conclusões: O envolvimento dos estudantes em projetos de translação do conhecimento para a clínica contribui para a sua aprendizagem, promove a tomada de decisão baseada na evidência, desenvolve competências de pesquisa, análise e transferência do conhecimento para a práxis.
