Interactive Videoconference Supported Teaching in Undergraduate Nursing: a Case Study for Ecg
(IEEE Computer Soc, Learning Technology Task Force, 2013) Celikkan, Ufuk; Senuzun, Fisun; Sari, Dilek; Sahin, Yasar Guneri
This paper describes how interactive videoconference can benefit the Electrocardiography (ECG) skills of undergraduate nursing students. We have implemented a learning system that interactively transfers the visual and practical aspects of ECG from a nursing skills lab into a classroom where the theoretical part of the course is taught. The students and the instructor in the classroom observe the activities in the skill lab in real time, while communicating with the nurse in the lab via audio and video links. An experiment was performed with the participation of 13 male and 57 female (total 70) second year nursing students-36 of who were assigned to Videoconference group (experimental group-VCG) and the other 34 were assigned to Traditional Classroom groups (control group-TCG). In the experiment, ECG knowledge levels of participants were measured by repeated tests (pretest, posttest I and posttest II) and data were analyzed with repeated measures of variances and covariance, the results demonstrating that videoconferencing contributed significantly to the improvement of ECG skills of the participants. In addition, a questionnaire was given to students along with posttest II, and the result of which indicated overwhelming satisfaction with videoconference based lecture.

Investigation of Turkish Nurses Frequency and Knowledge of Administration of Intramuscular Injections To the Ventrogluteal Site: Results From Questionnaires
(Churchill Livingstone, 2017) Sari, Dilek; Sahin, Melek; Yasar, Eda; Taskiran, Nihal; Telli, Sevil
Background: Intramuscular injection is important in the administration of parenteral medication and is a frequently-performed nursing responsibility. Objective: The objective of this study was to identify the frequency of use of the ventrogluteal site and the level of nurses' knowledge of administering an intramuscular injection to this site. Design: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted of nurses working in four hospitals (n = 362). Data collection tools included a 12 item sociodemographic questionnaire and a 24 item questionnaire on knowledge of the ventrogluteal site for intramuscular injection. Findings: 17.1% of participants reported using the VG site frequently in intramuscular injections. On the other hand, 35.9% reported that they do not use the VG site in intramuscular injections just because they are not used to giving injections on this site. Level of knowledge of ventrogluteal site was also limited with the mean score of correct answers from 24 questions being 14.37. Conclusion: It was found in the study that nurses' knowledge of the ventrogluteal site was limited, and they are not preferentially using the ventrogluteal site for intramuscular injections to adults even though it is recommended in recent nursing literature.
