Recently, it was certified by the Thai-Journal Citation Index Centre as TCI (Thai Citation Index) level 1 and ACI (ASEAN citation index). The editorial board of the Journal of Research in Nursing-Midwifery and Health Sciences is pleased to receive academic and research articles in Thai and English for publication and dissemination of academic results on nursing and public health of all health conditions and ages. The Journal is particularly focused on the continuity of care and usage of innovation in nursing, including nursing integrated with eastern wisdom that provides new knowledge for improving nursing and public health. We welcome contributions from students, professors, nurses, and academics both in Thailand and abroad. All manuscripts must be reviewed by experts both inside and outside the Faculty (internal and external reviewers), who are specialists in nursing, with experience and expertise in various fields before publishing. <strong>Peer review must be at least three persons per article (double-blind peer review).</strong> This journal is a four-month periodical, with three issues per year as follows:</span></p> <p> <strong>Issue 1:</strong> January – April</p> <p> <strong>Issue 2:</strong> May – August</p> <p> <strong>Issue 3:</strong> September – December </p> <p><strong>Journal Abbreviation: </strong>JRN-MHS</p> <p><strong>ISSN 2985-0061 (Online) </strong> </p> <p><strong>Owner</strong>: Faculty of Nursing, Prince of Songkla University, Hat Yai, Songkhla, Thailand<br /> Tel. +6674-286452 E-mail: <a href="mailto:sjnpsu@gmail.com">sjnpsu@gmail.com</a></p> Faculty of Nursing, Prince of Songkla University en-US Journal of Research in Nursing-Midwifery and Health Sciences 2985-0061 <footer>© Journal of Research in Nursing-Midwifery and Health Sciences</footer> https://he02.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/nur-psu/article/view/266834 <p>Objective: This study aimed to develop a blended learning model for nursing students in nursing practicum for healthy children during COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: Four phases of research and development were conducted, comprising (1) analyzing the situation and needs, (2) developing a blended learning model, (3) try out a blended learning model, and (4) assessing students’ satisfaction. There were eight pediatric nursing lecturers involved in the developing phase. Sample were fifty-five of fourth-year nursing students. The research instrument included 1) the blended learning model for nursing students in nursing practicum for healthy children and its manual, 2) the demographic data questionnaire, and 3) satisfaction questionnaire. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data. Results: The blended learning model for nursing students in nursing practicum for healthy children includes three components. There are 1) the nursing practicum for healthy early childhood using case-based learning, 2) growth assessment and promotion in early childhood based on the scenario, and 3) developmental assessment and promotion in early childhood based on the scenario. The students’ satisfaction on the blended learning model based on scenario was at the high level (M = 4.27, SD = .55). Conclusion: The blended learning model for nursing students in nursing practicum for healthy children included learning activities that enhance the course learning outcomes achievement, especially during the limitation of clinical practice due to pandemic of communicable disease.</p> Wassana Chotsamphancharoen Papattanan Tharapornphiwat Pissamai Wattanasit Copyright (c) 2024 Journal of Research in Nursing-Midwifery and Health Sciences https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 2024-10-09 2024-10-09 44 3 1 14 https://he02.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/nur-psu/article/view/270597 <p>Objective: This descriptive research aimed to test the prototype of an abdominal manikin for insulin injection training. The objective was to study the level of satisfaction with the use of an abdominal manikin for insulin injection training among patients with diabetes mellitus and caregivers. Methods: A purposive sampling method was used to select 32 participants, consisting of diabetic patients or their caregivers who were administering insulin injections. Data were collected between August 2023 and July 2024. The instruments included: 1) a demographic questionnaire, and 2) a satisfaction evaluation form on using an abdominal manikin for insulin injection training, covering usability and design aspects, which was verified by three experts, yielding a content validity index (CVI) of 1. The reliability was confirmed with a Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of .88. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results: The findings revealed that the overall satisfaction of the participants with using an abdominal manikin for insulin injection training was at the highest level (M = 4.38, SD = .46). When considering specific aspects, the top three aspects of satisfaction in terms of usage were: safety in use (M = 4.66, SD = .55), durability (M = 4.53, SD = .62), and ease of use without complexity (M = 4.50, SD = .67). The top three aspects of satisfaction in terms of design were: creativity in designing the insulin injection training model for type 2 diabetes mellitus (M = 4.53, SD = .62), neatness and aesthetics of the Insulin Injection training model (M = 4.38, SD = .66), and appropriateness of shape and size (M = 4.28, SD = .68). Conclusion: The development of the simulated abdomen for insulin injection training provides realistic characteristics similar to human skin, offering convenience, safety, and durability, effectively substituting more expensive models.</p> Jintana Nakklom Manee Sangnoi Kantaporn Yodchai Copyright (c) 2024 Journal of Research in Nursing-Midwifery and Health Sciences https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 2024-11-13 2024-11-13 44 3 15 23
