Read More Introduction: There are two popular methods of clinical skills teaching. One is Peyton’s method, and the other one is Robert Gagne’s method. A hybrid model which is a combination of both teaching methods is developed and implemented at Avalon University School of Medicine in Clinical Skills. The aim of the study was to evaluate the hybrid model of clinical skills teaching.Methods: This is a quasi-experimental study where a control group with a sample size of 26 was compared with two study groups; one group included 24 participants, and as the other one consisting of 16 subjects selected without randomization. All students in the class were included in the study, except for those withdrew voluntarily. The quantitative data were gathered in the form of a questionnaire on the Likert scale which was collected as the end of course evaluations. The quantitative data for the responses on the Likert scale was analyzed for descriptive statistics: Mean, Median, and Mode. The quantitative data also included the students’ performance on assessments of clinical skills which was analyzed using ANOVA test. The qualitative data were gathered in the form of open-ended questions in the end of course evaluations. The qualitative data were also collected from the faculty members who were the examiners for the clinical skills course as the feedback taken from them. Results: There was a significant improvement in the feedback of students (end of course evaluations) after implementing the hybrid model of clinical skills teaching which was shown by increased Mean, Median, Mode for the most pointers on the Likert scale. Also, there was a notable improvement in the performance of students with a significant p-value (p<0.05) on ANOVA test.Conclusion: The hybrid model is very effective in teaching clinical skills. This teaching method can be evaluated by replicating this study at larger institutions with more number of students.

Read More Introduction: Emotional intelligence is a social skill that controls stress and affects one’s ability to cope with the demands and environmental pressures; it so can improve professional competence in health care providers such as nursing students. Training on emotional intelligence increases the mental health and influences the mutual relationships, stress, depression and aggression. This study aimed to determine the effect of emotional intelligence skills training program on the stress and academic success of nursing students in a higher education health complex.Methods: This study is a quasi-experimental study with an educational intervention. The participants included 100 students of nursing selected by stratified random sampling from both genders. They were randomly categorized into two intervention and control groups including 50 subjects, respectively. We used Meyer and Salvia model in Emotional Intelligence training in the intervention group. During the training sessions in the intervention group, the control group did not receive any intervention. Academic stress and professional competence in both groups were measured before and two weeks after the experiment. SPSS version 21 was used to analyze the data, using Paired t-test, independent t-test, Wilcoxon, Mann-Whitney and Chi-Square tests. Results: The mean age of the participants was 20±2.14 years old. According to the results, the mean difference of the changes in the professional competence (p<0.001), total academic stress(p<0.001), and the four areas of academic stress such as emotional response (p<0.001), physical response (p<0.001) and physiological response (p<0.001) were significant. The intervention group, as compared with the control group, showed no significant effect on the other factors of academic stress such as frustration, conflict, academic pressure, changes and self-imposed stress.Conclusion: The education of emotional intelligence components can improve the efficiency of nursing care services and professional competence due to deceased stress.
