Isolation precautions are considered necessary to reduce the spread of HAIs. The failure of nurses to comply with isolation precautions may have a negative impact on both nursing care and the psychological and social lives of patients and their families. Therefore, this study aims to identify the level of nurse compliance with isolation precautions taken to prevent HAIs and to develop suggestions in line with the results obtained. MATERIAL and METHODS This work consisted of a cross-sectional descriptive study. The study population was 180 nurses working in a private hospital in Nicosia, the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. Although it aimed to reach the entire population, the study sample consisted of 110 nurses. Data were collected between May and June 2017, using an Information Form and the Compliance with Isolation Precautions Scale. RESULTS Nearly all the nurses had adequate knowledge about HAIs and isolation precautions. The study results showed that nurses had a high level of compliance with isolation precautions for preventing hospital infections. CONCLUSION These results suggest that it may be advisable to increase the number of continuous education programs that encourage nurses and healthcare professionals to comply with infection control measures and isolation precautions at the highest level and to raise their awareness about the importance of hand hygiene habits and immunization against HAIs.

Methodology The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews guidelines, using the PICO model that is based on an evidence-based practice process was matched. A total of twenty-three studies included six themes: performance skills (n = 13), self-confidence (n = 8), satisfaction (n = 10), anxiety level (n = 3), self-efficacy (n = 4), and knowledge (n = 15). Experimental randomised control trials and quasi-experimental studies from 2009 to 2019, conducted in English, were included. Nursing students (n = 1797; BSN, ADN, MSc, LPN) participated. Results and conclusion This review was indicated that virtual reality simulation provides learning strategy to acquire clinical skills, improve knowledge acquisition, increase self-confidence, self-efficacy, and satisfaction level, and decrease anxiety levels among nursing students.

While the risks raise privacy concerns regarding the interactions among learners and between learners and educators. Hence, nurse educators and learners must be aware of e-professionalism when using social media, and how to separate their personal and professional life to communicate with peers, patients, family and friends.

Study sample included 221 nursing and medical students who study in prep and first class at a private university in Gaziantep. Study was relized with 193 students who were volunteer to participate in research. Data were collected by using "Information Form" and "How I Learn Inventory". Results present that students have mainly Type I and Type IV learning styles; nursing students have mainly Type I (Spesific Sequential) and medical students have mainly Type IV (Spesific Simultaneous) learning style. According to the results, nursing students have well developed ability to derive information through direct, hand on experience; medical students have an experimental attitude and they need innovation and creativity in teaching-learning process. It can be suggested that faculty members consider learning styles and structure learning and teaching environments through these styles.
