Presentation of Preliminary Findings at University College Copenhagen (KP)
On 28 May 2024, we presented the first preliminary results to our project partner University College Copenhagen (KP) on Campus Tagnsvej. The reported findings represent our first year of research on the impact of mass media on the professional image of nurses in Denmark. The scientific and educational heads of KP’s healthcare faculty attended the well-attended meeting. Principal investigators Jochen Kinast and Johannes Riis gave an initial overview of the media usage of over 760 nursing students of the first-panel wave. Moreover, the first indicators of media effects were presented. Thereafter, Katja Driesel-Lange provided crucial knowledge on fostering the career development of young adults. The meeting concluded with an extended discussion on the portrayal of nursing staff in Danish and international media. The second-panel wave will be surveyed in the autumn of 2024.
