Abstract:
Open educational resources (OER) and open educational practices (OEP) are making significant inroads in higher education. Once framed as a more cost-effective delivery mechanism, open resources have evolved to include changing the way students are educated. A significant aim of adopting open teaching strategies and resources is to increase student engagement with content thereby increasing the student???s retention and application of information. This strategy employs encouraging students to participate in the creation and dissemination of new information. As nursing continually evolves and healthcare remains in a constant state of improvement, OER/ OEP has the potential to help develop future nurses who are more creative in solving healthcare problems. This is an opportunity to improve nursing students use and contribution to digital information that promotes healthy outcomes for patients. While this lofty goal may appear better suited for advanced practice nurses, students who learn this process at an introductory to practice level will be more likely to advance the practice of nursing in this manner across their careers. Nursing education is usually at the forefront of adopting new teaching modalities but may be getting left behind in adopting OER and OEP. Discussion regarding defining and determining effective use of OER and OEP and open dialogue regarding the relevance to nursing education is warranted.

She is currently an Associate Professor at Southern Adventist University, has published articles surrounding mental health concerns following Hurricane Katrina/Rita and has won research awards from The International Emergency Management Society.
Abstract:
Counseling skills for the mental health client are specific and varied. Knowing how to deliver therapeutic speak to your clients enhances and encourages mental wellness. A review of skills such as active listening, attending, empathetic confrontation, focusing, paraphrasing and many others all work towards intentional interviewing and counseling. Facilitating client wellness in a multi-cultural society can be challenging. Intentionality in your counseling can lead to better outcomes and thorough identification of client distress. Foundationally supported counseling helps the practitioner to feel competent and build a therapeutic relationship. Mastering the skills based on neuroscience and how the brain experiences emotion assists the practitioner to find the client’s way to resolution. Finally, how the practitioner’s natural style can be incorporated into each counselling skill will be explored.

She has published a paper about nursing care in “Cuidado é fundamental- ONLINE” Research Journal and participated at V Congresso Paulista de Bancos de Leite Humano, XV Encontro Paulista de Aleitamento Materno e II Congresso Macrorregional de Banco de Leite Humano.
Abstract:
This survey aims to analyze the use of himself by nurses that work in a human milk bank located in the capital of Espírito Santo, Brazil. Trying to achieve this goal, we found some information that shows the importance of ergology and how it contributes to understanding this job and, in case of nursing professionals, the relevance of understanding the professional practices through the lens of the theory the-use-of-self. To reflect on how the nursing staff develops its work by ergology perspective is to view the work by the worker outlook. This kind of research needed field sessions, hours of observation about routines, tasks, and activities. The research data was produced through search application, three months of participant observation on the sector, recording field diary, fourteen semi-structured and individual interviews, and a group discussion. The results show that they conduct and organize activities based on perceptions, preferences, and values, but they also engage themselves to make what they think is better to others, a coworker or a patient. In this respect, many times was seen renormalizations in face of working situations. The workers conduct their activities making renormalizations based on environmental, individual and collective values justified by the achieve of wanted goals. We believe that the understanding about activities nature and subjects roles, engaged on these activities, can contribute a lot on policy management in organizations like a hospital, where the relationship between professionals and patients is the heart of the service evaluation.

Abstract:
Ten years of nursing and midwifery Competency-Based Education and Training (CBET) curriculum implementation the government of Tanzania has made various intervention to support its implementation. Nurse educators were oriented on the implementation of CBET curriculum and training materials, skills laboratories were established and schools were equipped with ICT facilities. Despite all these efforts there is no evidence on how nursing and midwifery CBET curriculum is being implemented since its adaption in 2008, refinement in 2009 and major revision in 2017. Thus, the balance between the designed curriculum and implemented curriculum is not known. This lack of implementation information greatly limits interpretation of the effectiveness of the curriculum for the intended programme. The aim of this study is to investigate the implementation fidelity of the Nursing and Midwifery CBET curriculum among nurse educators in Tanzania. The descriptive cross-sectional study design will be conducted using a mixed methods approach, where both qualitative and quantitative methods will be used. Population of this study are nurse educators, 215 nurse educators will be randomly selected to administer questionnaires. In qualitative approach purposeful sampling approach will be used to reach key informants with rich information on the implementation of CBET curriculum for nursing and midwifery programme in Tanzania. Fidelity checklist also will be used to review documents such as session plans, Classroom schedule, skills laboratory and clinical schedules, academic students’ assessment reports and teaching strategies used during the implementation of the nursing and midwifery CBET curriculum. Implementation fidelity conceptual framework will be used to assess implementation fidelity for nursing and midwifery CBET curriculum in Tanzania. Four elements (Educators characteristics, Adherence, Dosage and quality of delivery) will be treated together for better understanding of the implementation process for nursing and midwifery programme in Tanzania. Below is the conceptual framework of the study. This study is the first to be conducted to explore the implementation fidelity for nursing and midwifery programme in Tanzania. The study can highlight whether the innovation imposed in the nursing and midwifery CBET curriculum is realized or not. Furthermore, the study will provide valid inferences to interpret the effectiveness of the CBET curriculum for the intended programme in Tanzania.

Manami Nozaki has completed her Ph.D. from Waseda University. She is a Professor and her specialty in Nursing Education. She has published some textbooks and DVD as educational materials.
Abstract:
In the past two decades, the number of universities opening a faculty of nursing has rapidly increased and faculty members run short in Japan. Along with the situation, the faculty members had to deal with an increasing number of undergraduate students with diverse backgrounds, and the difficulty of teaching has increased. In response to these circumstances, the Japan Association of Nursing Programs in Universities (or JANPU) proposed the guidelines for newly appointed assistant professors. According to the guidelines, the “FD Mother Map” has been developed and distributed it to faculties of nursing all over the country. A prototype career development ladder for newly appointed assistant professors has also developed and introduced. However, it was clarified that newly appointed assistant professors are still facing difficulties right after their inauguration. The purpose of this research is to clarify the aspects of the difficulties that newly appointed assistant professors are facing in order to improve the career development ladder for newly appointed assistant professors. According to the literature review, it is found that a teacher development proceeds along the three phases,

He is also a self-taught expert on cannabis since discovering a book on History of Marijuana in 1997 while attending Medical School.
Abstract:
The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is a biological system composed of endocannabinoids, which are endogenous lipid-based retrograde neurotransmitters that bind to cannabinoid receptors, and cannabinoid receptor proteins that are expressed throughout the vertebrate central nervous system (including the brain) and peripheral nervous system. The endocannabinoid system is involved in regulating a variety of physiological and cognitive processes including fertility, pregnancy, during preand postnatal development, appetite, pain-sensation, mood, and memory, and in mediating the pharmacological effects of cannabis. Two primary endocannabinoid receptors have been identified: CB1, first cloned in 1990; and CB2, cloned in 1993. CB1 receptors are found predominantly in the brain and nervous system, as well as in peripheral organs and tissues, and are the main molecular target of the endocannabinoid ligand (binding molecule), anandamide, as well as its mimetic phytocannabinoid, THC. One other main endocannabinoid is 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) which is active at both cannabinoid receptors, along with its own mimetic phytocannabinoid, CBD. 2-AG and CBD are involved in the regulation of appetite, immune system functions and pain management.

Abstract:
Aim: The aim of this review is to report on nurses’ attitude and perception toward patient advocacy.
Design: Systematic reviews.
Data Source: On February 2018, we searched for evidence regarding nurses’ attitude, perceptions, feelings, thoughts, or behaviors toward patient advocacy in three databases: CINHAL, MEDLINE, and OVID.
Review Methods: The inclusion criteria were studies on nurses’ attitude, perception, feelings, thoughts, and behaviors toward patient advocacy published in academic journals in the English language. Qualitative, quantitative, or mixed-method research studies were included. The Critical Appraisal Skills Program (CASP) as a quality assessment tool was used as a framework to review the quality of the full-text articles. Each article was awarded a value score out of 20.
Results: A total of 21 studies were eligible, of the 998 studies retrieved from selected databases. The review resulted in two findings: (1) nurses consistently have a positive attitude toward patient advocacy, and (2) the patient advocacy process includes four elements: (a) the client situation, (b) the nurse, (c) advocacy interventions, and (d) the advocacy consequences.
Conclusion: Preparing professional nurses for the advocacy role is an essential part of quality nursing care.
Impact: Patient advocacy is a complex concept and there have been inconsistencies on the use of this concept in the literature. Patient advocacy should be defined as a process with four elements: the patient situation, the nurse, and advocacy action, and the advocacy consequences. Al nurses in different areas of nursing practice can utilize the findings of this study to improve patient care outcome.

Abstract:
I am starting my abstract by quoting the words of King Salman Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques about Saudi Arabia’s vision 2030 “ My first objective is for our country to be a pioneering and successful global model of excellence, on all fronts, and I will work with you to achieve that.” While presenting the Saudi Arabia ‘s vision, Prince Mohammed Bin Salman Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Chairman of the Council of Economic and Development Affairs said:” It is my pleasure to present Saudi Arabia’s vision for the future. It is an ambitious yet achievable blueprint, which expresses our long term goals and expectations and reflects our country strengths and capabilities; our real wealth lies in the ambition of our people and the potential of our younger generation. They are our nation’s pride and the architects of our future.” The Saudi Arabia vision 2030 is built around three themes: a vibrant society, a thriving economy, and an ambitious nation. A thriving economy provides opportunities for all by building an education system aligned with the market needs. Saudi Arabia will continue investing in education and training so that our young students are equipped for jobs in the future. Efforts will be doubled to ensure that the outcomes of the education system are in line with the market needs. Saudi Arabia is a young country which was unified by King Abdulaziz Al Saud in 1932. The Ministry of Higher Education was established in 1954 and the first formal nursing education started in 1958. In 2017, the population was 32,55,336 million, 57.48% males and 42.525 females. In 2017 there were 81434 students in the health science colleges of which 52.1% were females and there were 12357 graduated from these colleges of which 55.5% were females. Despite the fact that there is an almost equal number of females and males students the workforce has only 40% females. In this presentation I will highlight the history of the development of the Nursing Education, the cultural, traditional and religious factors that influences the outcome of Saudi Arabia efforts in enhancing and improving the system for encouraging the young Saudi population to enroll in Nursing studies and the challenges facing the Saudi Nurses, the advancement of their education and how the pioneers of Saudi Nursing workforce can influence the development of nursing education.

Abstract:
With the high demand for clinical sites and placements needed for students within the community setting, the creation of sustainable academiccommunity partnerships provides a challenging yet exciting opportunity for the development of programming. While community health nursing faculty have a well-established history of utilizing clinical sites with a broad range of learning opportunities for students, the need for clinical sites is increasing. Experiences within the community, collaboration, and coordination of care across disciplines are crucial to understand and manage the complexities of health in today’s world; especially with our aging population and increase in chronic conditions. Community Health Nurse Educators are charged with preparing students to work with vulnerable and underserved populations. Involving nursing students in the assessment, planning, and implementation process for setting up community Wellness Centers assists in developing leadership skills. Delivery of care and access to services, especially for underserved populations, is further enhanced by having the nursing students modify services through continuous assessment and evaluation of the needs of the populations they are working with. A School of Nursing within an urban area partnered with community members to develop a Wellness Center, focusing on the needs of underserved populations. This partnership has developed inter-professional educational opportunities that offer the nursing students a unique experience in relationship building that assists in developing trust and respect, as well as having direct contact with the public. Collaborating, setting role expectations, and developing shared goals, provides the new baccalaureate nurse competencies that will assist in yielding better patient outcomes. Contribution to Nursing Profession-Student Experience (a) Unique community based collaborative partnerships developed to enhance student clinical experiences. (b) Increased access to health care for underserved populations through student services. (c) Opportunity for nursing students to develop community-based competency skills (communication, collaboration, leadership). (d) Empowerment of community and students through intra and interprofessional collaboration.

Abstract:
In the United States, a shortage of nurses exists and one of the reasons for this shortage is the lack of nurse educators. Schools of nursing have experienced an increase in qualified applicants but are unable to accommodate the increase because of a lack of nurse educators. Often, novice nursing faculty encounter struggles as they acclimate into the nurse educator role because of the different roles and responsibilities. A study of junior faculty in associate degree nursing programs in the Southeast provided insight into the formal mentoring of new faculty. The findings revealed that formal mentoring of junior faculty can foster a sense of belonging which may result in job satisfaction and a desire to remain in nursing education. The participants trusted that their mentors would provide the best mentoring and learning experiences. The study identified institutional as well as mentor responsibilities that can aid in the effectiveness of formal mentoring programs. Activities performed by nursing faculty mentors which facilitate new faculty development were identified as sitting in the classroom and observing instruction, providing constructive criticism, providing guidance with instructional development, serving as a role model, and assisting with test construction. These mentoring actions enabled the new faculty members to grow as nurse educators. All of the participants believed that mentoring programs are beneficial and needed for new nursing faculty. Recruitment and retention of qualified nurse educators are crucial to overcoming the nursing faculty shortage, and a means to address this problem is the mentoring of new educators.

Abstract:
Lowering Cholesterol using Essential Oils and Energy Medicine Methods Cholesterol is a valuable hormone that has been used as a vice to worry the public to reduce cholesterol while not educating them on the value. Cholesterol is a needed hormone in which 70% is used by the brain. It is also blamed for clotting of arteries when in fact the cholesterol is only a contributor not a creator of the problem. Diseases are events that have determinable causes; illnesses occur as a result of an invasion by an outside source, such as viruses, germs, bacteria or pathogens. Classifications of disease should be according to their causes – linear (virus, bacteria etc). Symptoms indicate their causes and are directly related to the causes and more important for treatment purposes. Allopathy treats only the later aggravated symptoms of the physical body. Allopathy tries to cure the physical body imbalances. Removal of symptoms is ideal for a cure while the disease itself, remains untreated. In Natural Energy Medicine, disease is a breakdown of vital forces resulting from an overwhelming movement in the vital body (feelings and emotions) which weakens the body. The inability to process the emotional stresses weakens the body, leaving the individual influence of disease agents such as viruses, germs or bacteria. The treatment of illness depends upon the knowledge of medicines and their healing power, acquired through ancient folklore, scientific research as well as through experimentation on healthy people who can describe the fine nuances of change in attitude, emotional, physical and mental states. Our research project confirmed that energetic medicine and methods reduces cholesterol. It also showed that 80% of those on antibiotics during the study had substantial increases in cholesterol, indicating that the more stressed the body is from outside sources as well as inside toxicity, increases the production of cholesterol within the body. Evaluation and treatment of the mental, emotional, spiritual and physical body is of major importance when working with a body in a dis-eased state. Essential Oils and Energy Medicine lowered cholesterol using mind/body medicine.

Abstract:
Patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICUs) need more than sedative and analgesic drugs to enable them to tolerate the invasive procedures, ICU staff nurse has a major role to assess patient under/oversedation and achieve the aims of sedation and analgesics. Patients inside the ICUs have the right to achieve adequate sedation given and prevent overdoses of sedation/ analgesics that may cause further potential complication. The aim of this study to examine the effectiveness of the educational interventional program in improvement and increase ICU nurses’ knowledge concerning sedation and analgesic titration in the ICUs. In this study, the quasiexperimental design with a preand post-test repeated measures approach was employed. A pre-test was carried out as a base-line of level of knowledge of ICU nurses (registered nurses having more than one-year experience) immediately before the initiation of the intervention, and the post-test was conducted after one week and three months period of the initiation of the educational intervention program to investigate the knowledge level difference among the targeted nurses in ICUs. The setting of this study was being in an adult ICU at King Hussein Hospital– Royal Medical Services, Amman- Jordan. The sample size was calculated using the G-power software. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 23. Descriptive statistics such as frequency, percentage, means and the standard deviation were used to analyze the sample demographic characteristics and knowledge level. Univariate analysis (independent t-test and one-way analysis of variance) was used to assess the effect of demographic characteristics on knowledge scores. The effect of the intervention on knowledge scores was examined using repeated-measures analysis of variance. In addition, linear regression analysis was utilized to identify the significant predictors of nurses’ knowledge regarding the titration of the sedations in ICUs. The mean of the total knowledge scores of the sample at pre-intervention phase was 93.02 (SD= 1.72, range=29 (80- 109)), acquisition phase was 114.14 (SD= 4.08, range=18 (103- 121)), and retention phase was 111.32 (SD= 4.08, range=21 (101- 122)). There was a significant difference between all three phases. The results indicated to significant improvement of knowledge scores in both posttest, acquisition and retention phases, with Wilk’s Lambda Partial Eta Squared (0.933, 0.901) indicated large effect size. The most significant predictors of Jordanian nurses’ knowledge were the monthly income variable scores that were significantly predicted the total knowledge score and these variables explained 29.4% of the variance in nurses’ knowledge concerning sedation and analgesics titration in ICUs. No statistically significant differences were found in age, gender, marital status, incomes, experience inside ICU, and experience in nursing variables in all three phases’ level scores. Low level of knowledge shed light on the obstacles that hamper the Jordanian nurses’ knowledge concerning sedation and analgesics titration in ICUs settings. It could be attributed to various factors that may include inadequacy of highlighting nursing sedative management topics through the graduate curriculum, the lack of exposure to special training courses and sessions concerning sedation and analgesics titration in ICUs, and lack of well-structured continuing education programs. This low level of knowledge concerning sedation and analgesics negatively impact ICUs patients’ quality of care and subsequently leads to increase mortality incidence and prolonged patients’ recovery, increases patients’ length of stay, consequently increases the burden of health care costs, and patients’ re-admissions rates.

Abstract:
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a cause of sexually transmissible disease (STD) that poses a major risk for the development of cervical cancer, anal cancer, oropharyngeal cancer and some other rare types of cancer. There are more than 100 types of HPV and the types 16 and 18 are considered as high once they are related to high grade squamous intraepithelial lesions. The Pap smear is a test that can detect certain viral infections such as HPV and it is, mostly, performed by nurses in Brazil. Nursing Team is one of the primary instruments in the strategy of prevention and promotion of education related to cervical cancer. The objective of this research was to explore the importance of the nurse in the prevention of types of cancer caused by HPV. After analyzing the literature between the years of 2012 and 2017, this research pointed out that nurses are seen as the primary source of health education for women and can be teaching patients by promoting the knowledge during nursing consultation. As a matter of fact, there is a need for nursing educational intervention which could develop the empowerment of women by using dialogue techniques, prior, during and after a nursing consultation. The educational focus should be on how to appropriate one’s own body, the importance of performing the Pap smear as indicated, the use of condoms and the effectiveness of vaccination. These actions can reduce the incidence of HPV and may help to transform women into a valuable source of information.
Biography:
Anna Koziol was born in Estonia, finished his degree from University in Kaliningrad, Russia. When his daughter was born he needed to find something to help her because of health issue. Searched and tried many ways of traditional medicine, alternative, holistic. He found this method called Elle Ayat. This method started at the end of 20 century and known in Europe and Asia. The founder is Farhat ata from Kazakhstan. Basics of the method are gazing at the sun,reading the formula of life, drink Etken tea and cleaning your consciousness.
Abstract:
The basic elements for practice Elle Ayat and Farkhat ata is the method of self-improvement and open consciousness. This technique contains the following components: (i) The Formula of Life and Love (ii) Viewing the Sun (iii) Drinking Etkin Tea. (i) Reading the Formula of Life: Below is the text of the Formula of Life as it is to be said. After speaking the Formula, then you may ask the Creator for what we want and need in life. (Never ask for money!) Elle Nina ana Creator Farkhat Ata Elle Ayat 37 40 6 8 10 Elle LEZZET Universe Elle Uyghur Ayat Elle Ah-l-Yah Nina Ah-na Creator Farkhat Ata Ah-l-Yah Ayat 37 40 6 8 10 Ah-l-Yah L-yah-zot Universe Ah-l-Yah Uyghur Ayat Ah-l-Yah After saying the Formula of Life the channel from Creator is opened burning the negativity within us and the negativity departing from within. The stream remains open for some time and then closes so as not to restrict the freedom of the individual. The Creator does not work violently and he will work only when we ask, i.e. by saying the Formula of Life. The more often we repeat it, the greater the amount of work that Creator will perform in our bodies and consciousness. The word Elle (Ah-lyah) also possesses a powerful force. If spoken right after the occurrence of a negative idea or statement it will neutralize its consequences and prevent the negative idea the opportunity to materialize or happen. For example: If you say “I feel sick”, follow it immediately with Ah-l-Yah. If someone says something negative, “You look awful”, respond Elle (Ah-lYah). (ii) Sun contemplation: It is necessary to look at the sun as often as is possible, daily, but no more 3 minutes at one time. Before looking at the Sun it is necessary to say the Formula of the Life and talk to the Creator about the issue whatever you have. Thus we contact with Creator on a straight line that repeatedly increases the effect. If, in the beginning, it is painful to look at the sun, it is possible to lightly shade your eyes and/or look at the sun in the morning and evening. If the sun is too bright you can look at the sun filtered by leaves or allow a solar beam to pass through your fingers. After a while, you will begin to take pleasure in looking at the Sun. (iii) Drinking Etkin Tea: Etkin tea is regular tea with milk and salt, no sugar. Use black tea, not green. Brew the tea, add milk to your taste and then add salt, approximately 1/8th of a teaspoon to a mug of tea. Use non-iodized salt. The first cup of the day should be drunk, in its entirety, on an empty stomach, if possible. Successive cups can be accompanied by foods. During this treatment, the damaged, sick and mutated cells are burnt by macro-micro elements of the sun and poisonous slag forms in the body which must be washed away. Etkin tea and only Etkin tea washes away these poisons and the rest of the destroyed sick cells from the body. If the patient does not seriously consider the importance of the tea to treatment, many different unpleasant sensations or side effects will be encountered in connection with the decay of the destroyed cells. It is important to drink 6-8 cups of Etkin tea daily, i.e. 1.5 – 2 liters daily.

Abstract:
Statement of the problem: Globally, student absenteeism is seen as a period of time when students do not attend classes. This is a serious concern for lecturers at institutions of higher learning (Lipscomb & Snelling, 2010:573). In South Africa, student absenteeism is rampant amongst university and college students (Wadesango & Machingambi, 2011:89), and it is also a problem in Health Tutors College, Mulago. Absentism leads to poor performance of the learners in examinations and late submission of assignments. The purpose of this study is to explore the demographic characteristics of the students, causes of their absenteeism and reasons for regular attendances.
Methodology: Quantitative, descriptive and cross sectional study design was used to study 103 students of Bachelor of Medical Education in year I, II & III. The data was collected using a self-administered questionnaire & analysed using SPSS statistical programmes.
Findings: Results of demographic characteristics showed most Health Tutor students are aged between 31-40years (78%; n=103), married (70.9%; n=103) and with children (75.7%, n=103). The leading causes of absenteeism reported were family & social responsibility (81.6%; n=103), work/job related engagements (60.2%; n=103) & staying away looking for fees (57.3%; n=103). Leading reasons for regular attendance reported were good personal health (94.2%; n=103), active interesting lecture (87.4%; n=103) and regular lecture with good time keeping (84.4%; n=103).
Conclusion: Majority of Health tutor students’ encore absenteeism as a result of family, social responsibility and work/ job related engagements while the leading cause for regular attendance is good personal health. Recommendations are made for students to attend induction training, seek guidance& counselling and have well balanced plans & size up their personal commitment to attending lectures. The staff should ensure lectures are interesting, guide &counsel students.

Abstract:
Nigeria is a sub-Saharan African country characterized by very high Maternal Mortality Rate of 560 per 100,000 live births. An increase in the proportion of deliveries in a health facility with a Skilled Birth Attendant (SBA) has been identified as a key strategy to reduce maternal and newborn mortality and morbidity in developing countries. However, despite the slight progress made on ANC utilization, skilled delivery care utilization in Nigeria is still low. The aim of the study was to determine the Pattern and Institutional Predictors of Facilitybased delivery after Antenatal Attendance in selected hospitals in Enugu, South East Nigeria. The specific objectives of the study were to: Determine the Pattern of Antenatal Care attendance and Facility-based delivery by SBA and to identify the Institutional Predictors of the facility- based delivery. Related literature from different sources was reviewed and a survey research design adapted for the study. A simple random sampling technique (balloting without replacement) was used to select a total number of four hundred and one (401) mothers who met the inclusion criteria. A researcher-developed questionnaire was used for data collection; preceded by a pilot study. The data obtained were subjected to descriptive statistics and analyzed with the aid of IBM SPSS version 20.0. Chi-square test was used to test for association between variables. The decision rule was set at mean scores of 2.5 and variables with a probability value of less than 0.05 were considered statistically significant. The findings showed that almost all (98.2%) of the women in Enugu, South East Nigeria, attend antenatal care at least once with up to 86% attending up to four times during the pregnancy of their last child. They also delivered in a hospital facility (87.2%) attended to by doctors, nurses or midwives (SBA). The pattern is such that the preferred place for ANC attendance is government hospitals (42.4%) whereas the place of choice for delivery is privately owned hospitals (38.9%), with a significant proportion of women (59.2%) not attending any ANC where they finally delivered their babies. The Institutional predictor of any significance was the cost of facility delivery (mean 2.19±1.24). Recommendations made based on the study included that Nurses should, during health talk, stress the importance of mothers having their babies in a hospital where they have completed ANC for continuity of care and better preparation in case of an emergency. Suggestion for further studies was also made.

She has published a paper about nursing care in “Cuidado é fundamental- ONLINE” Research Journal and participated at V Congresso Paulista de Bancos de Leite Humano, XV Encontro Paulista de Aleitamento Materno e II Congresso Macrorregional de Banco de Leite Humano.
Abstract:
This survey aims to analyze the use of himself by nurses that work in a human milk bank located in the capital of Espírito Santo, Brazil. Trying to achieve this goal, we found some information that shows the importance of ergology and how it contributes to understanding this job and, in case of nursing professionals, the relevance of understanding the professional practices through the lens of the theory the-use-of-self. To reflect on how the nursing staff develops its work by ergology perspective is to view the work by the worker outlook. This kind of research needed field sessions, hours of observation about routines, tasks, and activities. The research data was produced through search application, three months of participant observation on the sector, recording field diary, fourteen semi-structured and individual interviews, and a group discussion. The results show that they conduct and organize activities based on perceptions, preferences, and values, but they also engage themselves to make what they think is better to others, a coworker or a patient. In this respect, many times was seen renormalizations in face of working situations. The workers conduct their activities making renormalizations based on environmental, individual and collective values justified by the achieve of wanted goals. We believe that the understanding about activities nature and subjects roles, engaged on these activities, can contribute a lot on policy management in organizations like a hospital, where the relationship between professionals and patients is the heart of the service evaluation.

Abstract:
Ten years of nursing and midwifery Competency-Based Education and Training (CBET) curriculum implementation the government of Tanzania has made various intervention to support its implementation. Nurse educators were oriented on the implementation of CBET curriculum and training materials, skills laboratories were established and schools were equipped with ICT facilities. Despite all these efforts there is no evidence on how nursing and midwifery CBET curriculum is being implemented since its adaption in 2008, refinement in 2009 and major revision in 2017. Thus, the balance between the designed curriculum and implemented curriculum is not known. This lack of implementation information greatly limits interpretation of the effectiveness of the curriculum for the intended programme. The aim of this study is to investigate the implementation fidelity of the Nursing and Midwifery CBET curriculum among nurse educators in Tanzania. The descriptive cross-sectional study design will be conducted using a mixed methods approach, where both qualitative and quantitative methods will be used. Population of this study are nurse educators, 215 nurse educators will be randomly selected to administer questionnaires. In qualitative approach purposeful sampling approach will be used to reach key informants with rich information on the implementation of CBET curriculum for nursing and midwifery programme in Tanzania. Fidelity checklist also will be used to review documents such as session plans, Classroom schedule, skills laboratory and clinical schedules, academic students’ assessment reports and teaching strategies used during the implementation of the nursing and midwifery CBET curriculum. Implementation fidelity conceptual framework will be used to assess implementation fidelity for nursing and midwifery CBET curriculum in Tanzania. Four elements (Educators characteristics, Adherence, Dosage and quality of delivery) will be treated together for better understanding of the implementation process for nursing and midwifery programme in Tanzania. Below is the conceptual framework of the study. This study is the first to be conducted to explore the implementation fidelity for nursing and midwifery programme in Tanzania.

Abstract:
In the past two decades, the number of universities opening a faculty of nursing has rapidly increased and faculty members run short in Japan. Along with the situation, the faculty members had to deal with an increasing number of undergraduate students with diverse backgrounds, and the difficulty of teaching has increased. In response to these circumstances, the Japan Association of Nursing Programs in Universities (or JANPU) proposed the guidelines for newly appointed assistant professors. According to the guidelines, the “FD Mother Map” has been developed and distributed it to faculties of nursing all over the country. A prototype career development ladder for newly appointed assistant professors has also developed and introduced. However, it was clarified that newly appointed assistant professors are still facing difficulties right after their inauguration. The purpose of this research is to clarify the aspects of the difficulties that newly appointed assistant professors are facing in order to improve the career development ladder for newly appointed assistant professors. According to the literature review, it is found that a teacher development proceeds along the three phases,

Abstract:
Aim: The aim of this review is to report on nurses’ attitude and perception toward patient advocacy.
Design: Systematic reviews.
Data Source: On February 2018, we searched for evidence regarding nurses’ attitude, perceptions, feelings, thoughts, or behaviors toward patient advocacy in three databases: CINHAL, MEDLINE, and OVID. Review Methods: The inclusion criteria were studies on nurses’ attitude, perception, feelings, thoughts, and behaviors toward patient advocacy published in academic journals in the English language. Qualitative, quantitative, or mixed-method research studies were included. The Critical Appraisal Skills Program (CASP) as a quality assessment tool was used as a framework to review the quality of the full-text articles. Each article was awarded a value score out of 20.
Results: A total of 21 studies were eligible, of the 998 studies retrieved from selected databases. The review resulted in two findings: (1) nurses consistently have a positive attitude toward patient advocacy, and (2) the patient advocacy process includes four elements: (a) the client situation, (b) the nurse, (c) advocacy interventions, and (d) the advocacy consequences.
Conclusion: Preparing professional nurses for the advocacy role is an essential part of quality nursing care.
Impact: Patient advocacy is a complex concept and there have been inconsistencies on the use of this concept in the literature. Patient advocacy should be defined as a process with four elements: the patient situation, the nurse, and advocacy action, and the advocacy consequences. Al nurses in different areas of nursing practice can utilize the findings of this study to improve patient care outcome.

They are our nation’s pride and the architects of our future.” The Saudi Arabia vision 2030 is built around three themes: a vibrant society, a thriving economy, and an ambitious nation. A thriving economy provides opportunities for all by building an education system aligned with the market needs. Saudi Arabia will continue investing in education and training so that our young students are equipped for jobs in the future. Efforts will be doubled to ensure that the outcomes of the education system are in line with the market needs. Saudi Arabia is a young country which was unified by King Abdulaziz Al Saud in 1932. The Ministry of Higher Education was established in 1954 and the first formal nursing education started in 1958. In 2017, the population was 32,55,336 million, 57.48% males and 42.525 females. In 2017 there were 81434 students in the health science colleges of which 52.1% were females and there were 12357 graduated from these colleges of which 55.5% were females. Despite the fact that there is an almost equal number of females and males students the workforce has only 40% females. In this presentation I will highlight the history of the development of the Nursing Education, the cultural, traditional and religious factors that influences the outcome of Saudi Arabia efforts in enhancing and improving the system for encouraging the young Saudi population to enroll in Nursing studies and the challenges facing the Saudi Nurses, the advancement of their education and how the pioneers of Saudi Nursing workforce can influence the development of nursing education.
