El proceso de enseñanza aprendizaje desde entornos virtuales
Authors: Salazar Veloz Tanya Maritza , Fernández Rodríguez Martha Maria
Published: October 2022

En materia de formación académica, al hacer uso de las tecnologías de Información y Comunicación, se deja atrás una educación tradicional, para imbuirse en la noción de facilitar a través de un aula virtual, el acceso a la educación, teniendo como punto central al estudiante y sin menoscabar la esencia del proceso de enseñanza aprendizaje, sino más bien imprimiéndole un mayor dinamismo. Debe considerarse la resistencia a la implementación de la educación virtual, fijados por largo tiempo en su labor docente como formas de trabajo arraigados en la ejecución de sus actividades presenciales. Esto implica que en el proceso de enseñanza aprendizaje desde entornos virtuales los docentes y estudiantes no tienen una cercanía física, para lo cual se valen de los medios tecnológicos para interactuar. El problema se plantea en muchos casos en la interacción virtual, entre docentes y estudiantes, donde los encuentros en línea de manera sincrónica, adolecen de normas que regulen las relaciones, respecto a la asistencia, horarios, permanencia y visibilidad del docente y estudiante. El propósito del artículo fue proponer la creación de un protocolo para la interacción virtual, entre docentes y estudiantes en las aulas virtuales como innovación educativa y campo de oportunidades para la optimización del proceso de enseñanza aprendizaje. Para ello se apoyó el estudio en una investigación de campo de nivel descriptivo, para lo cual se aplicó un cuestionario a 20 docentes del Instituto Superior Tecnológico Espíritu Santo (TES), con condición de Universitario de la ciudad de Guayaquil. El estudio destacó la importancia de la creación de un protocolo para la interacción virtual, entre docentes y estudiantes en las aulas virtuales como innovación educativa y campo de oportunidades para la optimización del proceso de enseñanza aprendizaje.

Published: October 2022

Background and aims: The quality of nurse-patient communication has significant effects on patient care outcomes. Therefore, education of communication skills (CSs) to nurses and nursing students can improve patient care outcomes. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of face-to-face education (FTFE) and virtual education (VE) on CSs among nursing students. Methods: This quasi-experimental study was conducted in 2021. Participants were 51 senior nursing students in their internship course in Shahrekord Faculty of Nursing and Midwifery, Shahrekord, Iran. They were recruited to the study through a census and were allocated to FTFE and VE groups through the Random Allocation Software. FTFE was provided in two sessions through the lecture and the question and answer methods, while VE was provided in a single online session through simulated multimedia content. Participants’ CSs were assessed before and ten days after the study intervention through a 50-minute Objective Structured Clinical Examination with five consecutive stations on communication with elderly patient, communication with adolescent patient, communication with aggressive patient, communication with illiterate or non-communicative patient, and communication for consent. Data were analyzed using the SPSS software (v. 23.0) and through the independent sample t, paired-sample t, and chi-square tests and the multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA). Results: The posttest mean scores of CSs in both groups were significantly greater than their corresponding pretest values (P<0.05). However, there were no significant differences between the groups respecting the pretest and the posttest mean scores of CSs. The pretest mean score of the communication with elderly patient skill and the posttest mean score of the communication with aggressive patient skill had significant relationship with participants’ place of residence and gender, respectively (P<0.05). Conclusion: VE is as effective as FTFE in significantly improving nursing students’ CSs. Therefore, quality VE programs are recommended to fulfill the different educational needs of nursing students.

Published: October 2022

Background and aims: Loneliness can increase stress, anxiety, and engagement in social deviances (SDs) among adolescents and youngsters. The present study was conducted to evaluate the relationship of loneliness and attitude towards SDs among nursing and health students during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive-analytical study was conducted in 2020. Participants were 105 nursing and health students of Ramsar Faculty of Nursing, Mazandaran, Iran. Data were collected using the Revised UCLA Loneliness Scale and the Social Deviances Attitude Scale. Data were entered into the SPSS software (v. 16.0) and analyzed through the independent-sample t, Mann Whitney U, and Kruskal-Wallis tests, the analysis of variance, the Spearman’s correlation analysis, and the multiple regression analysis. Results: Most participants were female (73.3%) and single (90.5%) and studied nursing (55.2%). The mean scores of loneliness and attitude towards SDs were 40.19±10.51 and 68.57±8.32, respectively. The highest dimensional score of attitude towards SDs was related to the drug abuse dimension (15.31±2.65). Loneliness had significant relationship with attitude towards SDs and all its dimensions (P<0.05). The significant predictors of loneliness were attitude towards SDs, its aggression dimension, family income, father’s occupation, and father’s educational level (P<0.05). Conclusion: Students have low level of loneliness and negative attitude towards SDs. Attitude towards SDs, its aggression dimension, family income, father’s occupation, and father’s educational level are the significant predictors of loneliness. Health and education policy makers need to use strategies to reduce students’ loneliness in order to reduce the risk of their engagement in SDs.

Authors: Esmaili Ahmad , Ghafari Mozaffar , Hosseini Parisa
Published: October 2022

Background and aims: Childbirth self-efficacy (CSE) reduces women’s fear over labor and increases their tendency for vaginal delivery. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship of the sense of coherence (SOC) and distress tolerance (DT) with CSE with the mediating role of body intelligence (BI). Methods: This descriptive-correlational study was conducted in 2019 on 240 women aged 20–40 years who referred to primary healthcare centers in Maragheh, Iran, to receive reproductive care services. Sampling was done through multistage random sampling and data were collected using a demographic questionnaire, the Lowe’s Childbirth Self-Efficacy Inventory, the Antonovsky’s Sense of Coherence scale, the Simons and Gahar’s Distress Tolerance Scale, and the Anderson’s Body Intelligence Scale. The SPSS and the AMOS software (v. 22.0) were used for data analysis through the Pearson’s correlation analysis, the Bootstrapping method, and the Sobel’s test. Results: DT, SOC, and BI significantly predicted 16% of the variance of CSE. The direct effects of DT (0.20), SOC (0.15), and BI (0.20) in CSE prediction were significant (P<0.05). Moreover, the indirect effects of SOC (t=2.72) and DT (t=2.46) with the mediating role of BI were significant. Conclusion: Women’s CSE can be improved through improving their SOC, DT, and BI.
Analytical comparison of the holistic perspectives of Islamic intellectuals and common philosophical approaches in nursing respecting human being
Authors: Alimohammadi Nasrollah , Moghaddasi Jaefar , Farzi Sedigheh
Published: October 2022

Background and aims: The nursing philosophy has moved from reductionism to holism in its manner of treating human being (HB). There are two main philosophical worldviews about holism, namely reciprocal interaction and simultaneous action worldviews, based on which most holistic nursing theorists formulated their works. Islam, as a perfect religion, also addresses all dimensions of HB and provides different instructions for their development. However, it is still poorly known whether there is a difference between western and Islamic holism. This study was conducted to analytically compare these two main philosophical worldviews with the Islamic worldview in nursing. Methods: This analytical study was conducted in 2020 through the library search method. The SID, Medlib, IranMedex, Magiran, Irandoc, ISI, Scopus, PubMed, and Islamic World Science Citation Center databases were searched using the "holism", "Islamic thought", "reciprocal interaction", and "simultaneous action" keywords. Moreover, the works of famous Islamic intellectuals, particularly Mohammad Hossein Tabatabaei and Morteza Motahhari, were assessed. Results: In the reciprocal interaction worldview, HB is considered as an organized and coherent whole with different biological, psychological, social, and spiritual dimensions and inter-relationships among these dimensions. Moreover, it considers HB as a metaphor, implying that HB is a unified, self-organizing, and regularly changing being that is in interaction with internal and external environments. In the Islamic worldview, HB is a unified truth with material and immaterial realms consisted of physical body connected with emotions, cognition, society, spirituality, and the universe. Conclusion: Although the simultaneous action worldview has a holistic view towards HB, it does not specifically address all HB dimensions. However, the reciprocal interaction worldview addresses some HB dimensions. Islamic intellectuals not only have a holistic view towards all HB dimensions, but also consider HB relationship with the universe. Such divine view to HB integrates the simultaneous action and the reciprocal interaction worldviews, provides nurses with a holistic view towards HB, and facilitates the application of the existing holistic nursing theories for nursing practice, research, and theorization.

Published: October 2022

Background and aims: Nurses are in direct contact with healthcare clients. Infectious diseases epidemics, such as the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, cause high levels of stress for nurses. The aim of this study was to evaluate burnout, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and sleep quality (SQ) among nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: In this review, the Google Scholar, PubMed, ISI, Scopus, EMBASE, and Psych INFO databases were searched using the keywords "posttraumatic stress disorder", "burnout", "sleep quality", "nurse", "mental health", and "coronavirus disease 2019" to find relevant studies published in English between May 2020 to July 2021. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement was used to appraise the quality of the retrieved studies. Results: The prevalence rates of burnout, PTSD, and low SQ were 25%–60%, 16%–68%, and 18%–38%, respectively. Nurses’ gender, job satisfaction, affiliated hospital ward, work experience, levels of stress and anxiety, and care provision in the frontline of COVID-19 care affected the prevalence of burnout, PTSD, and low SQ. Conclusion: Burnout, PTSD, and low SQ are highly prevalent among nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic. Psychological counseling centers in hospitals need to provide nurses with training and counseling about the management of their mental health problems.

Background and aims: Aging is increasing rapidly both in Iran and across the world. One of today’s challenges is the need for psychotherapy and improvement of mental health among the elderly. Therefore, a way should be sought out for improving happiness, especially among the elderly. This study was aimed to investigate the effect of music on the happiness of the elderly residing at the retirement homes in Kermanshah, west Iran in 2019. Methods: The population of this empirical study of pretest-posttest design including an intervention group and a control group, consisted of all elderly people residing at the retirement homes across Kermanshah in 2019. Participants were selected based on inclusion criteria using convenience sampling and then randomly assigned to intervention group (n: 31) and control group (n: 31). To collect data, the Oxford Happiness Questionnaire (OHQ) was administered to both groups. Afterwards pieces of Kurdish folk and Arnd Stein’s relaxing music authorized by the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance were played for the intervention group through three 45-50-minute sessions per week, and the control group continued their daily activities as before. After one month, the posttest was administered to both groups. Data were analyzed by paired t test and covariance analysis run in SPSS software. Results: The results demonstrated that after a period of music therapy, there was a significant difference in happiness and its dimensions between the two groups. The mean±standard deviation score of happiness was 74.16±10.32 at pretest and 96.90±5.42 at posttest. Mean life satisfaction score was 19.35±4.62 at pretest and 27.48±2.41 at posttest. Mean self-esteem score was 17.77±2.87 at pretest and 23.16±1.81 at posttest. Mean Subjective well-being score was 12.94±1.57 at pretest and 15.35±1.40 at posttest. Mean satisfaction score was 10.94±2.11 at pretest and 13.16±1.59 at posttest, and mean positive mood score was 13.16±2.16 at pretest and 17.74±1.06 at posttest. The paired t test results showed that the mean score of elderlies residing in Kermanshah retirement homes improved after a music therapy program in terms of happiness dimensions including life satisfaction (P<0.001), self-esteem (P<0.001), subjective well-being (P<0.001), satisfaction (P<0.001), and positive mood (P<0.001). Conclusion: This study demonstrated that music improved happiness in the elderly at retirement homes.

The mishandling of scientifically flawed articles about radiation exposure, retracted for ethical reasons, impedes understanding of the scientific issues pointed out by Letters to the Editor
Authors: Tanimoto Yoh , Hamaoka Yutaka , Kageura Kyo , Kurokawa Shin‑ichi , Makino Jun , Oshikawa Masaki
Published: October 2022

We discuss the editorial handling of two papers that were published in and then retracted from the Journal of Radiological Protection (JRP).1,2 The papers, which dealt with radiation exposure in Date City, were retracted because “ethically inappropriate data were used.”3,4 Before retraction, four Letters to the Editor pointing out scientific issues in the papers had been submitted to JRP. The Letters were all accepted or provisionally accepted through peer review. Nevertheless, JRP later refused to publish them. We examine the handling by JRP of the Letters, and show that it left the reader unapprised of a) the extent of the issues in the papers, which went far beyond the use of unconsented data, and b) the problems in the way the journal handled the matter. By its actions in this case, JRP has enabled unscientific, unfounded and erroneous claims to remain unacknowledged. We propose some countermeasures to prevent such inappropriate actions by academic journals in future.

Published: October 2022

The natural symbol constitutes a remarkable phenomenon in the poetry of the Iraqi poet Sa’di Yousef, particularly in his later collections, which invest his texts with more depth, diversity, and artistic richness.

Objectives: This study, titled “Nature as a Private Symbol: A Reading in the Poetry of Sa’adi Yousef”, aims to address the phenomenon of nature as a private symbol in Saadi Youssef’s poetry, in which the poetic self and its associated inner feelings, emotional experiences, psychological states and special issues are symbolically referred to.

Methods: The study will employ the descriptive-analytical approach to examine the connotations associated with the symbols in a selection of poetic texts that represent the phenomenon of nature as a private symbol.

Results: The most important findings of the study: The natural symbol in Saadi Youssef's poetry is mostly connected with the poetic self and relevant special issues and inner feelings of psychological and emotional nature. Most of the poet's natural, private symbols belong to two different realms: Childhood spaces: the first place (home) and multiple exile environments; therefore, they are composed of a positive connotation and a negative one.

Conclusions: The study recommends an examination of the private use of nature as a symbol in Saadi Youssef’s poetry regarding: The domestic place and the hostile place and Cinematography.

Sibawayh Positions of Opposition from Yunus bin Habib Syntactically Views on "The Book"
Authors: Abu Yahya Salah
Published: October 2022

This study attempted to highlight Sibawayh positions of opposition in "the book", one of the founders of the Arab syntactic, Yunus bin Habib. Those positions are evident in the difference between Al- Basriens themselves, and between Al- Basriens and the Kufiens, as there are many points of view. The strength of Yunus views appeared in this study, as Sibawayh sometimes confirmed what Yunus had taken to one of the Arab languages, despite his opposition to it. It was Yunus bin Habib deviated from the Al- Basri doctrine to which he belonged, and sometimes he agreed with the opinion of the Kufiens and disagreed with the Al- Basriens, and thus, the clash occurred in the situation between Sibawayh and Yunus bin Habib in the one syntactically doctrine. The meaning had an effect on the formation of the syntactically sentence, but some Syntacticians, especially Sibawayh, ignored this matter in this study. The effect of social context and the syntax of the text was prominent in the formation of the syntactically sentence in some matters, but the control of the sentence made the ancient syntacticians such as Sibawayh not to pay attention to the context, which led to the deprivation of the syntactically sentence from its parsing according to the context.

Women in the Works of Ghassan Kanafani: A Comparative Reading of Two Novels
Authors: Neimneh Shadi
Published: October 2022

This article surveys Ghassan Kanafani’s fictions, arguing that his literature of resistance features militant men or ordinary men coping with the consequences of dislocation. Hence, the presence of women is mainly subordinate. Then the article investigates the ambivalent presence of women in two novellas diverging from Kanafani’s mainstream texts which marginalize women, offering instead prevailing female figures: All That’s Left to You (1966) and Umm Saad (1969). In the former, Maryam loses her honor, getting pregnant out of wedlock just as her people lose Jaffa; the fallen woman allegorically becomes the lost nation, and thus assumes negative attributes of the mother archetype. In the latter, this ancillary presence changes as the titular heroine enacts resistance and attachment to the land. Umm Saad assumes the positive attributes of the mother archetype, figuratively becoming the fertile land to be regained. Using a relevant framework on resistance literature and archetypal criticism on the feminine, this article shows the close association between women and the Palestinian land (the positive ideals of liberty and fertility as well as the negative meanings of loss/disgrace). Such ambivalence can be understood in a range of positive and negative aspects of the mother archetype. Appealing to recurring patterns and primordial aspects of the human psyche, Kanafani asserts the universalism of his committed fiction, the right to regain the land as a basic human need, and the richness of the mother archetype to the collective unconscious of a nation. Hence, this article problematizes traditional gender roles in Kanafani’s fiction.
