The rapid advancements in the use of technology in nursing practice have created a need to keep pace with developing competencies. Nowadays, nurses are required to expand their roles in mastering technological tools and using information systems (Anderson, 2017). A nurse informatician should at least integrate information management, and analytic skills to identify and communicate data in different settings (Borycki et al., 2017). The role of these nurses in the healthcare system supports several aspects of nursing, such as education, research, management and nursing practice. Nursing informatics practitioners are required to develop specific knowledge, behavior, skills and capacities to collect, store, retrieve and process the information.

Additionally, rather than relying on the ‘best' available evidence or expertise at hand, nursing practice decisions can be supported by ‘practice-based evidence' (Harrington, 2011) (i.e., dynamically generated knowledge derived from standardized clinical documentation). Clinical data standards can also be utilized to align the education of nursing students with the expectations of healthcare organizations. Teaching students to document their practice in accordance with data and practice standards advances this goal.
Teamwork and Informatics: Capturing the Work of Nurses as Team Members
Published in Connie White Delaney, Charlotte A. Weaver, Joyce Sensmeier, Lisiane Pruinelli, Patrick Weber, Deborah Trautman, Kedar Mate, Howard Catton, Nursing and Informatics for the 21st Century – Embracing a Digital World, 3rd Edition, Book 1, 2022
The expectation and demand for teamwork competence are threaded through nursing scholarship and education. The theoretical foundations for nursing practice include core concepts like partnership, communication, and relationship building that are integral to effective team performance ((Reed, 2006). Interprofessional partnership is a major domain in nursing accreditation guidelines (AACN, 2021).
Literature review of the research on nursing students’ professional self-concept
Published in Medical Education Online, 2023
Yun Xu, Yongqi Liang, Hui Ye, Yue Xu
The cultivation of students’ strong positive self-concept has been highly valued since nursing students’ self-esteem, self-confidence, and their influence on career choices received attention [12]. The professional self-concept of nurses was proposed. It is a profession-related and persistent perception of several professional self-attitudes during the transition from students to professional nurses. It reflects their professional self-understanding, self-esteem, and behaviour orientation, including knowledge, skills, flexibility, leadership, communication ability, and satisfaction [5]. Professional self-concept refers to the application of nurses’ professional self-concept in nursing, including views on the self, perception of one’s ability, cognition, understanding, and affection for the role. It is the integration of various ideas, principles, perceptions, and expectations of nurses, and has an important impact on nursing practice and related clinical work [13–15].
Feminist research in a female-dominated profession: How can this lens help us to understand ourselves better in speech-language pathology?

Cultural safety was defined in this study as focussing on power relations influencing nursing practice with culturally diverse communities. The authors explored how international clinical placements supported students’ developing reflexivity and their professional and relational skills required to understand “Otherness.” This study also explored how study abroad programs represent anti-racist pedagogies to help students develop their cultural safety, and examine their biases, attitudes and stereotypes in the context of completing a clinical placement in a low resource country. Seven qualified nurses, who had participated in an international placement as students, participated in interviews that were designed to enable them to share their understanding of cultural safety, race, gender and social class, and how these issues played out during their international placements that were completed in a low resource country. The authors completed thematic analysis that used the post-colonial feminist theory as a heuristic lens to analyse the participants’ understanding and experiences.
Nursing Education to Enhance Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) Community Access to Mental Health Services: A Scoping Review
Published in Issues in Mental Health Nursing, 2021
Reshmy Radhamony,, Wendy M. Cross,, Louise Townsin,
With the rapid growth in the multicultural population and nurses being instrumental in many health services, nurses’ cultural competence must be enhanced to facilitate the culturally and linguistically diverse community access to appropriate health services. A wide range of methods to assess cultural competence and intervention approaches recognised to be effective in improving competence needs to be initiated to enable a culturally congruent nursing practice. The shortage of evidence on effective strategies for teaching cultural competence continues. Further research is essential to appraise the influence of educational interventions to enhance cultural competence attributes on specific practitioner behaviours and the effect on health care outcomes. There is a need for more research that statistically analyses the change in knowledge, skills, attitude, and behaviour of mental health nurses. This review can form a foundation for future research studies that will emphasise the influence of cultural competence interventions and outcomes on mental health nurses.
