managers. The author has done a qualitative study was using face-to-
face, interviews with academic managers in medical universities and
at the Ministry of Health in Iran. All interviews were recorded
digitally and analyzed by qualitative content analysis. The author
have categorized the challenges under 3 themes, each included 3
subthemes: Managerial issues (inefficacy of management, inadequacy
of policies and strategies, ineffective evaluation planning)
;Administrative issues (inefficient and affected evaluators,
inappropriate implementation, inefficacy of approaches and tools)
;Structural issues (inappropriate culture, clinical education
complexity, lack of alumni follow-up system).
The problems faced by the Irani nurses can be closely related to
the issues in Indian settings, a similar type of study can be carried out
in India to assess how the higher authority perceives the effectiveness
of nursing education in India.

Selcuk Karaman: “Nurses’ perceptions of online continuing
education”. Medical Education 2011,
http://www.biomedcentral.com

This article is about Nurses’ perceptions of online learning as a

convenient way of getting professional training, using a sample of
1041 Registered Nurses (RNs) data were collected for this
quantitative study to reveal perception levels and relationship on
online continuing education. Data were collected through an online
instrument and descriptive and inferential analysis techniques
using SPSS 18 was performed.
The result showed that Nurses generally have positive
perceptions about online learning. A significant difference was seen
between nurses who used computers least and those with the highest
computer usage. Neither nurses’ ages nor lengths of working
experience are significantly related to perceptions of online programs.
The difference between perceptions of nurses living in urban areas
and those living in rural areas was not significant. It was observed by
the authors that nurses regard online learning opportunities as suitable
for their working conditions and needs. Nurses should be provided
with continued training through online learning alternatives. This
article is very useful as it promotes the use of technology in nursing
education making it more simplified, online learning provides
flexibility to nurses in both urban and rural areas. Nurses working in
small-scale health centers may get the chance to extend their
knowledge hence they need not leave their job for perusing higher
education at universities. Online continuing nursing education will
definitely be a boon for nurses who could not continue her education
due to some unforeseen circumstances.

Rowat, A. (2011). Malnutrition and Dehydration after
Stroke. Nursing Standard, 26 (14), 42-46

The aim of the article was to encourage nurses to identify the

frequency and causes of malnutrition and dehydration, consider the
complications it can cause and to be aware of the feeding strategies.
They identify that patient presented with stroke should be assessed
within the first 48 hours and swallowing should be assessed before
giving any food, fluid or oral medication (NICE, 2008). They identify
the video-fluoroscopy test used to observe the patient swallowing
process. However the test is not practical for assessing patient with
stroke as they are unable to sit independently as well as endure
movement of their head (Rowe & D’Antonio, 2005, Jacobsson et al,
2000). Although the video-fluoroscopy is used to detect dysphagia, it
is believed to be an unreliable source as it does not identify how the
patient should be fed when they return to the ward (Clayton, Jack,
Ryall, Tran, Hilal & Gosney 2006).
It identifies the importance of nurses using the Malnutrition
Universal Screening Tool as it is a valid and reliable nutritional
screening tool used in hospital setting, as high number of patient with
stroke experience malnutrition (NICE, 2008). However the tool is not
specific to stroke and would not identify reasons the patient is
malnourished, but it enables the nurses to identify the patients who
need to refer to speech and language therapist (Hickson , 2006).
The overall article informs nurses of the common complication
arising from stroke and the tools used to examine. It also identifies the
importance of teamwork between nurses and speech and language
therapy in maintaining the nutrition and hydration status of the patient
after stroke.
