Abstract

Problem-based learning is a technique that is becoming increasingly popular in nursing educators in nursing education settings. In the 1980s, Knox and Mogan conducted classic studies on teacher effectiveness as rated by student nurses, graduate nurses, and faculty. They determined that nursing competence and teaching ability were highly rated by both students and faculty to "best" educators. Multiple studies utilizing problem-based teaching styles have revealed that students are highly satisfied with the results of certain characteristics, which promote student learning: self-directed learning, tutor-student interaction, and group learning. This article provides a review of the literature on problem-based learning in nursing education and specifically reviews articles utilizing the Mogan and Knox Nursing Clinical Teacher Effectiveness Inventory. Problems experienced in utilization of problem-based learning are also described.

In the wake of hospital inquiries: impact on staff and safety.

Mishandled concerns about clinical standards resulted in whistleblowing in four Australian hospitals. Official inquiries followed with recommendations to improve patient safety. In the aftermath of the inquiries, common themes included loss of trust in management and among clinical colleagues, and loss of trust from patients and the community. Without first rebuilding trust, staff will not report mistakes or other concerns about safety. Successful implementation of patient safety procedures requires policies to stress the professional duty of staff to report concerns about colleagues when they believe there is a risk to patients.

Retrieving the ars moriendi tradition.

North Atlantic culture lacks a commonly shared view on dying well that helps the dying, their social environment and caregivers to determine their place and role, interpret death and deal with the process of ethical deliberation. What is lacking nowadays, however, has been part of Western culture in medieval times and was known as the ars moriendi (art of dying well) tradition. In this paper an updated version of this tradition is presented that meets the demands of present day secularized and multiform society. Five themes are central to the new art of dying: autonomy and the self, pain control and medical intervention, attachment and relations, life balance and guilt, death and afterlife. The importance of retrieving the ancient ars moriendi outreaches the boundaries of palliative medicine, since it deals with issues that play a central role in every context of medical intervention and treatment.
