Outline of Final Research Achievements |
For enhancing nursing training in developing countries, we have conducted several field studies in Mongolia, Nicaragua, Sri Lanka, and Uganda. Based on this we have designed two apps (called N+Care) and (called N+Growth) . N+Care Application will help nurses to gather patient data while in the field, another application is to monitor children health and to learn child growth, then share then with the doctors and other. We tested the Apps in Cambodia among the nursing students attached to government nursing schools. The result of satisfaction of these Apps is quite positive. The results are being written in a technical paper and will be submitted to conference and a journal for discrimination.
