1137 perceptions of the use of technology in a blended learning Occupational Health Nursing programme in durban south africa
Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 2018Co-Authors: Penelope Orton, Kathleen M Nokes, P J Scott, D E HickeyAbstract:Introduction Blended learning refers to an educational strategy that combines face-to-face classroom instruction with on-line learning. This teaching strategy was introduced into an Occupational Health Nursing (OHN) programme at the Durban University of Technology in 2011. Methods A mixed methods convergent design was used to merge concurrent quantitative and qualitative data to address the study aim. Quantitative data were collected from student cohorts and qualitative data were collected from all the OHN programme lecturers. The Perceptions about the use of web-based learning was used to measure current OHN student perceptions of web-based learning in the OHN programme. The demographic and work-related instrument measured person-related factors. Qualitative data were collected using three semi-structured interview questions. Quantitative data were analysed using SPSS v22. Two-tailed Pearson product moment correlations and t-tests were computed on the six factors between the scores of first and second year students. Qualitative data were analysed using the applied thematic analysis methodology. Result Computer anxiety was significantly higher for first year students compared to second-year students (t=4.08, p Discussion Blended learning, a useful teaching strategy, has the potential to advance the OHN specialisation programme at DUT through the numerous opportunities for collaborative learning that the online technology affords. However, the challenges faced by both lecturers and students need to be addressed through focused interventions to ensure the optimal use of this teaching/learning strategy.

perceptions of the use of technology in a blended learning Occupational Health Nursing programme in durban south africa original research
Occupational health southern Africa, 2015Co-Authors: Penny Orton, Kathleen M Nokes, P J Scott, D E HickeyAbstract:Blended learning refers to an educational strategy that combines face-to-face classroom instruction with on-line learning. This teaching strategy was introduced into an Occupational Health Nursing (OHN) programme at the Durban University of Technology in 2011. Because computer literacy might be a challenge for mature Nursing students, a programme evaluation using a mixed method design was conducted to assess perceptions of the blended learning programme. Both quantitative data from cohorts of first and second year OHN students and qualitative data from all of the lecturers teaching in the programme were collected. Computer anxiety was significantly higher for first-year students compared to second-year students (pl 0.001). Lecturers also indicated barriers to using on-line technology for teaching. Interventions need to be developed to decrease computer anxiety.

Occupational Health surveillance screening and prevention activities in Occupational Health Nursing practice
AAOHN Journal, 2000Co-Authors: Bonnie Rogers, Kae LivseyAbstract:Occupational Health Nursing practice is broad and encompasses surveillance, screening, and prevention activities as part of the scope of practice. While there has been some controversy about who is responsible for these activities, it is clear Occupational Health nurses play a pivotal role in overseeing, managing, implementing, and evaluating these programs. In fact, recent OSHA standards have included broad language that permits licensed Health care professionals acting within their legal scope of practice to conduct medical and Health surveillance activities. While the contributions of Occupational Health nurses are well documented, little is known about the degree and emphasis in practice related to surveillance, screening, and prevention programs. This study examined the scope of independent and interdependent practice by Occupational Health nurses related to these activities and found 71% of Occupational Health nurses had overall responsibility for program management, and the majority performed surveillance, screening, and prevention functions as independent practice. Physician supervision for any of these activities ranged from only 0% to 8% in reporting. The results of this study validate the independent functioning in scope of Occupational Health Nursing practice related to surveillance, screening, and prevention activities while recognizing the contributions all providers make to a Healthy work force.
