Student Perspectives on GenAI Integration in Higher Education
Students are increasingly using GenAI, but institutional practices and educator approaches to GenAI integration remain varied and sometimes restrictive. Understanding how students navigate these tensions is critical to informing effective and ethical educational practices.
This project investigates CHS students’ perspectives on the integration of GenAI into their education. Specifically, it will explore:
1. Student GenAI use in learning: This includes their usage patterns, challenges faced, and their views on current institutional policies and practices.
2. Educator GenAI use in teaching: This covers student perceptions of GenAI-generated educational materials, its role in assessments, and their views on how GenAI should be effectively integrated into teaching and learning practices.
Exploring gratitude practice for final-year undergraduate nursing students during clinical placement
Given the ongoing challenges experienced by final-year nursing students, there is a clear need for effective, sustainable interventions that promote mental well-being. Gratitude practice represents a promising yet underexplored strategy in nursing education. By exploring nursing students’ reflective engagement with gratitude practice during their final clinical placement, this study seeks to strengthen reflective capability, professional resilience and the integration of gratitude-based interventions within nursing curricula and clinical education frameworks, consistent with the NMBA standards for reflective practice.
This project aims to explore the potential of gratitude practice as a tool for supporting the final-year nursing students undertaking clinical placements.
Questions:
1. Does gratitude practice help support nursing students in their final clinical placement?
2. How do nursing students perceive the use of gratitude practice as a strategy to support their clinical placement?
How is Community Connectedness Built and Sustained in Rural Health Settings? Insights from Healthcare providers
This study aims to explore how health professionals conceptualise connectedness and investigate the process in which connectedness is built and sustained. Based on the studies cited above, community connectedness may have a mutual benefit. For health professionals, it improves mental wellbeing, social integration, and retention within rural systems. For communities, connectedness may support continuity of care and reduce fragmented care. This bilateral relationship highlights the need for further exploring the concept and investigating the factors that contribute to connectedness or disconnectedness, particularly due to the lack of a consistent definition.
Exploration of Nurse-Led Ambulatory Care in Emergency Departments in Regional Australia: A Scoping Review
Australian healthcare relies on Emergency Departments (EDs) to provide 24-hour care. There are adverse effects for patient delays within EDs. Acute medical care is not consistently available, leading to avoidable hospital admissions and excessive reliance on EDs. In response, multiple models-of-care (MOC) have been implemented with varying results. The aim of this scoping review is to determine the existing evidence for safety and efficiency of ambulatory ED nurse-led models of care in regional Australia.
