Abstract:

Internationalization of higher education in general is an important European goal aiming at supporting both knowledge development and high-quality education for the professionals of tomorrow. However, the 5^th Global Survey of the International Association of Universities suggest that some HEI regard internationalization as important, increasing activities to support development across research, teaching and civic engagement endeavors and other institutions don’t. Internationalization has a number of potential benefits, such as pooling resources across national borders to allow the development of specialized joint programs in emerging areas. Other potential benefits arise from a mutually enriching process of widening perspectives that can take place when higher education programs draw on multiple knowledge traditions. Communication technology opens opportunities for innovative learning approaches cross nations and cultures. This theoretical paper draws on a case in practice of collaborative and transformative learning in line with ‘internationalization at home’ with the broader learning objective of ‘becoming aware and knowledgeable’. The paper draws on a case example that involved two universities in Sweden and the USA. Elaborating on a collaborative process showing learning community through the construction of a virtual module and a learning activity. The paper discusses students’ and teachers’ experiences and theoretical issues and further development of strategies that opens up for dialogues. Virtual international exchanges open innovative communication and learning contexts across nations and cultures. Internationalizing higher education is so much more than students’ and teachers’ mobility. Internationalization at home for all on home grounds’ should be paid more attention.

More than one million Intravenous (IV) chemotherapy infusions are given worldwide each day that leads to extravasation. According to National Extravasation Information Service (2013), the incidence of extravasation is 39% in adults out of which 5% received chemotherapeutic drugs through injections. The study was undertaken to assess the effectiveness of structured teaching program on knowledge regarding management of extravasation of chemotherapeutic drugs among staff nurses in selected hospitals Bangalore. The pre experimental one group pretest and posttest design was adopted for the study. Non-probability convenience sampling technique was used to obtain 30 staff nurses directly involved in administration of chemotherapeutic drugs in different areas of Ramaiah Medical College Hospital, Bangalore. Pretest was done using structured knowledge questionnaire on management of extravasation of chemotherapeutic drugs followed by structured teaching program and posttest using same structured knowledge questionnaire. The data collected were analyzed and interpreted based on descriptive and inferential statistics. The study findings showed that mean knowledge score of subject was 15.33 with standard deviation of 4.003 in pretest whereas in posttest mean knowledge score was 24.67 with standard deviation of 5.384. There is significant difference in pretest and posttest knowledge score regarding management of extravasation of chemotherapeutic drugs at p<0.001. Study concluded that structured teaching program was effective in improving the knowledge regarding management of extravasation of chemotherapeutic drugs among nurses.

Of these myriad facets, one commonly touched wherein extensive range has been influenced is nursing-a healthcare profession focused on the care of individuals, families and communities to attain, maintain or recover optimal health and quality life from conception to death.

However, given all these perspectives, technological advancement also posed detrimental threat not only in nursing profession but also, in the whole of the healthcare system which include but not limited to the provision of quality patient care taking into consideration that technological capacity of healthcare professionals are limited.
