Mashup Score: 1Confidence and anxiety of nurse academics in teaching unfamiliar subjects in undergraduate nursing education - 2 month(s) ago
This is a commentary on: Minty-Walker, C., Pettigrew, J., Rylands, L., et al (2024). Nurse academics and the teaching of undergraduate nursing numeracy: A cross-sectional study of self-reported confidence and anxiety. Nurse Education Today , 144, 106422.1 Health numeracy is a fundamental element of nursing, extending beyond the calculation of medicine doses, to include fluid volumes and rates, body mass index calculations and changes to weight as well as mathematic principles such as fractions, decimals and percentages.2 Proficiency in health numeracy is a requirement of nursing regulators around the globe. The experience of stress and anxiety associated with numeracy, and its correlation with performance, confidence and a fear of failure is widely reported from the perspective of students.3 However, there remains a gap in research surrounding the experience of nurse academics when teaching mathematics.1 The study was designed to answer the question: ‘what are the confidence and anxiet

Mashup Score: 0Understanding sources of bias in research - 2 month(s) ago
Critically evaluating the evidence, in particular research evidence, which underpins practice, is central to quality care and service improvements. Systematically appraising research includes assessing the rigour with which methods were undertaken and factors that may have biased findings. This article will outline what bias means in relation to research, why it is important to consider bias when appraising research and describe common types of bias across research processes. We will also offer strategies that researchers can undertake to minimise bias. The Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASP) describes bias in research as ‘systematic errors that can occur at any stage of the research process’ and can have a ‘significant impact on the reliability and validity of the findings’ that may lead to a distortion of the conclusions.1 Understanding research bias is important for several reasons. First, bias exists across research designs and approaches and, while difficult to eliminate, s
