The development and validation of a five factor model of sources of self-efficacy in clinical nursing education

Background: The aim of this study is to validate a newly developed nurses' self-efficacy sources inventory. We test the validity of a five-dimensional model of sources of self-efficacy, which we contrast with the traditional four-dimensional model based on Bandura's theoretical concepts. Methods: Confirmatory factor analysis was used in the development of the newly developed self-efficacy measure. Model fit was evaluated based upon commonly recommended goodness-of-fit indices, including the χ2 of the model fit, the Root Mean Square Error of approximation (RMSEA), the Tucker-Lewis Index (TLI), the Standardized Root Mean Square Residual (SRMR), and the Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC). Results: All 22 items of the newly developed five-factor sources of self-efficacy have high factor loadings (range .40-.80). Structural equation modeling showed that a five-factor model is favoured over the four-factor model. Conclusions and implications: Results of this study show that differentiation of the vicarious experience source into a peer- and expert based source reflects better how nursing students develop self-efficacy beliefs. This has implications for clinical learning environments: a better and differentiated use of self-efficacy sources can stimulate the professional development of nursing students.

“The Attitude Is Essential” The Experience of Two Mothers with Differing Educational Backgrounds Receiving Post-Discharge Intervention after Very Preterm Delivery

While the importance of professional support following very preterm delivery (VP) is established, the parental experience of support still warrants deeper understanding. Evaluation of a Dutch one-year post-discharge responsive parenting intervention following VP suggested that parents with lower educational levels benefitted less from the program. This idiographic phenomenological study investigated the lived experiences of two mothers with differing educational backgrounds receiving professional support during hospitalization and post-discharge. In-depth interviews with the mothers were analyzed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. We formulate three impressions: (1) How the mothers made sense of their experiences resonated with the findings of research on class differences in parenting. (2) The mothers valued professionals who struck a personalized balance between supporting their maternal agency and attending to their vulnerability and needs for help and perspective. (3) The mothers experienced greater trust in professionals who could suspend pre- conceived assumptions and take their personal characteristics into consideration. Practice suggestions are extrapolated for social work professionals. The study has relevance to educational diversity and recommends an overarching sensitivity to positionality in professional work with parents.

Súd Ie – najaarsmonitoring 2020

Het Waddenfondsproject Súd Ie beoogt economie, recreatie en ecologie te combineren en te verbinden. Het project kent drie fasen, in fase 1 en 2 van het uitvoeringsprogramma van het project Súd Ie zijn o.a. vispassages, natuurvriendelijke oevers en paai- en opgroeigebieden aangelegd. Daarnaast worden langs de Súd Ie gelegen (brakke) polders en natuurgebieden hersteld en toegankelijk gemaakt voor diadrome vissoorten, veelal driedoornige stekelbaars en paling. Deze maatregelen zorgen ervoor dat de deur vanaf het Lauwersmeer open staat en het huis (lees habitat) voor de vis op orde is. Daardoor is een duurzame ecologische verbinding met de Waddenzee in dit gebied hersteld. Door middel van innovatieve monitoring wordt onderzoek gedaan naar het effect van de vismigratiemaatregelen die in fase 1 en 2 van het Súd Ie project zijn genomen. Deze rapportage bevat de resultaten van de monitoring in het najaar van 2020. Dit onderzoek is uitgevoerd om een beeld te krijgen over de aanwezigheid van vis in het najaar bij Ezumazijl en de vispassages bij de Kolken. De doelsoorten zijn driedoornige stekelbaars en paling.

Parents' information needs during the first year at home with their very premature born child; a qualitative study

ObjectiveTo obtain insights into parents' information needs during the first year at home with their very preterm (VP) born infant.MethodsWe conducted semi-structured interviews with parents of VP infants participating in a post-discharge responsive parenting intervention (TOP program). Online interviews were audiotaped and transcribed verbatim. Inductive thematic analysis was performed by two independent coders.ResultsTen participants were interviewed and had various and changing information needs during the developmental trajectory of their infant. Three main themes emerged; (1) Help me understand and cope, (2) Be fully responsible for my baby, and (3) Teach me to do it myself. Available and used sources, such as the Internet, did not meet their information needs. Participants preferred their available and knowledgeable healthcare professionals for reassurance, tailored information, and practical guidance.ConclusionThis study identified parents' information needs during the first year at home with their VP infant and uncovered underlying re-appearing needs to gain confidence in child-caring abilities and autonomy in decision-making about their infants' care.InnovationThis study provides valuable information for healthcare professionals and eHealth developers to support parental self-efficacy during the first year after preterm birth.

VPSN - Teaching VP shoot preparation when there isn't a VP screen on campus. The presentation also highlighted the options for companies to become involved in VP research through the Erasmus+ EU funding scheme.

A presentation about the work of the VPSN research team, investigating how feasible it is to teach virtual production pre-production processes to off-campus students that don't have access to a VP stage. The presentation included the premiere of the student work, successfully demonstrating the possibilities of multi-university collaboration on VP productions.
