NCT00620477
Patients who suffered from a rupture of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament with instability of the knee joint, will be treated with an operative ACL-reconstruction. One group of patients will stay one night in the hospital and go home the other day (Group I). The other group of patients will go home the same day of surgery (Group II). All patients will undergo the same arthroscopic reconstruction of the ACL. Anesthesia will be performed on each patient in a classic manner. At the end of the surgery each group of patients will be randomly divided in two subgroups: one group will get an injection in the knee joint with 20 ml of physiological fluid (Group Ia en IIa), the other group will get an injection in the knee joint with 20 ml of chirocaine 0.125%, a widely used pain-medicine (Group Ib and IIb). This will happen in a double blind, randomized way. The whole procedure takes about one hour. After surgery patients are brought to the recovery room and are observed every 30 minutes for the duration of 4 hours. Before being brought to their rooms, patients will have to fill in a VAS: Visual Analogue Scale, to determine their pain. After being brought to their rooms, the patients will have the choice of going home the same day or staying in the hospital for one night, according to the amount of pain they are in. That moment it will be possible to switch groups. Patients who go home the same day of surgery will be contacted by phone the day after to fill in a question form. Patients who were admitted for one night will be seen before their leave to fill in the same question form.

Background: During the curricular practices of the Bachelor's Degree in Nursing, students are prepared to carry out an adequate transition process to the professional role. The success of this preparation depends, to a large extent, on preceptorship. In this sense, it is important that practice tutors are motivated and feel competent to teach in the clinical setting. Despite this, no studies have been found that implement and evaluate an intervention to improve nurses' perceptions of preceptorship of undergraduate nursing students. Purpose: To evaluate the preliminary efficacy of a coaching programme to improve nurses' perceptions of preceptorship of undergraduate nursing students. Specifically, the aim is to determine the impact of the programme on nurses' perceived involvement, motivation, satisfaction, barriers and commitment to clinical mentoring. Method: An exploratory pre-post quasi-experimental pilot study. Fifteen nurses, the total population of nurses working in the medical-surgical ward, with at least 1 year of experience in the preceptorship of students, will be recruited in June 2022. All the nurses will receive an intervention based on coaching. The strategies of this program consisted of five 6-hour sessions using case studies and role-playing simulations to work on their motivation to develop their teaching role in the preceptorship of undergraduate nursing students and debriefing and a 4-hour booster session seven months later. The IMSOC (involvement, motivation, satisfaction, obstacles and commitment) instrument was used to assess outcomes. The primary outcome was the difference in the median of nurses' involvement, motivation, satisfaction, barriers and commitment in preceptorship students pre and post-intervention (between T0-T1 and T0-T2). Changes within nurses were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test for related samples.
