The Communications Committee is launching research on social media usage of nurses across Europe.

This is a descriptive-cross sectional study, and we plan to disseminate an on-line questionnaire to all the nurses who are members of Chapters in the European Region of Sigma Theta Tau organization.
Nurses who are not members of Sigma may also complete the questionnaire.
The questionnaire consists of the following sections:
a) socio-demographic and professional characteristics, b) social media use, c) patterns of learning and d) patterns of networking using social networks. Qualitative information will be collected using two open-ended questions.
Ethical approval has been granted by the Ashkelon Academic College, Israel.

We hope that this study will contribute to the body of knowledge about nurses’ use of social media and the most effective platforms to access nurses. Link to follow 

Our communications committee publishes a Sigma European Regional Newsletter four times a year.

Our Europe Region Communications Committee decided for a change to have a focus for each newsletter.  

 The focus for this newsletter is how students are supported across the Europe Region. Our aim is to increase student membership across Europe and this newsletter will hopefully give Chapters ideas about how to be innovative in that goal.

 There is also a timetable of opportunities and future events with links to register.

 

Read about all the happens in Europe, Internationally and Globally about our members. What are they doing, what have they accomplished and for all who are they.

If you wish to contribute or have something you wont sharing to the wider Sigma Nursing community, then let us know at eurc@sigmanursing.org

You can also keep up with US on our European Facebook and Twitter, as we like to post and tweet about Nursing issues, stories, policy, research done by our members, celebrate our members endeavours and a whole lot more. Quick and easy.

Members: Ilya Kagen, Marie-Louise Luiking , Peter Vermier,  Helena Felizardo and Liz Westcott (Chair) ippolito notarnicola, Filipa Ventura, Tiina Syyrilä, Grazyna Szkinc-Olsson, Helena A De Rezende.
