| Popis: | Background: The impact of a restorative intervention using the natural environment on capacity to direct attention and issues that contribute to attention fatigue for diploma-prepared nursing students (Post-RN students) enrolled in a baccalaureate nursing program was examined. Methods: This study used a quasi-experimental comparison group design. Subjective (Attentional Functional Index) and objective (Finding A's Test and Symbol Digits Modalities Test) measures were employed. Results: Thirty-two students at two universities participated. Results of the split-plot analysis revealed a within-subject effect on the Attentional Functional Index (p< .05), a significant within-subject effect on the Finding A's Test (p < .05), and a significant within- and between-subject effect on the Symbol Digits Modalities Test (p< .05). Conclusion: Recognizing and managing attention fatigue throughout the school year may enhance Post-RN students' abilities to direct attention and contribute to an enhanced academic experience. |
