Theory and Practice Go Hand in Hand in UAS Studies
Bridging Worlds & A Journey of Growth Only imagine being uprooted from one's life, leaving behind everything that was familiar, and stepping into an entirely new culture for higher education. It was not only the academic ambition per se, but also a leap of faith. This was where I stood at the crossroads of being an accomplished banking professional and yet a fresh student from Sri Lanka, when entering Finland with a resolution to grow, evolve, and thrive. This was the reason, when choosing to study at Metropolia University of Applied Sciences, why it was so critical for me that this university would have a different approach to learning. I wanted a blend of theory and practical application to prepare my for the real world. It was a promise of not only academic insights but also of a holistic face-lift to my professional trajectory and personal journey. Why Finland? Why Metropolia? These were some of my many questions. I did my choice for reasons including Finland being ranked high in education and Metropolia for connecting the gap between theoretical and practical learning. I chose to risk and go ahead with the application. With more than 18 years of work experience in the banking arena, I grew deeply interested in data analytics and operations efficiency. The Master's programme in Business Informatics at Metropolia was appealing not just for its industry relevance, but also for its practical application and problem-solving approach. Challenges and Triumphs: The First Steps Moving to Finland with my family was not an easy decision, as it would mean leaving behind a well-settled life and starting afresh. But this challenge was simultaneously an opportunity: the possibility of exposing ourselves to a new culture, new ideas, and new opportunities. It all started with a journey of unexpected hurdles. Due to visa delays, I had to begin my studies remotely from Sri Lanka. What could have been an intimidating experience was relatively easy, thanks to the support from Metropolia. Online classes were well structured, keeping everyone engaged and moving forward in a fruitful direction, which the university itself clearly showing the ways how to stay connected and take part in the activities online. Meanwhile, during this period, I also tried on my own initiative to complement my learning with additional activities and completed some optional courses in AI. Such a proactive approach allowed me not only to be on schedule but also enhanced my knowledge of emerging technologies, which proved so valuable later on when I was working on the thesis. Settling in Finland When my family and I finally arrived in Finland, the culture was warm in Reception and welcoming. Finland's emphasis on education and community integration were visible into every aspect of our new life, be it the language classes designed for migrants or the academic environment which felt very welcoming. What really caught my attention when it came to Metropolia was how much they focused on collaborative and work-related learning. The classes are set up to ensure interaction, critical thinking, and practical application to concepts. This is not just education; it is preparation for the future. The Metropolia Advantage: Theory Meets Practice The education at Metropolia is different because it is not just about attending lectures and then doing an exam; it is about understanding how to use your knowledge in a real-life scenario. It was a nice discovery for me that Metropolia also provided learning opportunities beyond just the classroom. It offered opportunities for professional certifications (in Project Management and in Power BI), study tours, and company visits, which made it into a more diverse learning experience and enhanced both my knowledge and skills. This unique blend of academic theory and hands-on application, hallmarks of UAS studies, prepared me for real-world challenges, bridging the gap between classroom learning and workplace demands. The Thesis Experience The culmination of my studies was the completion of my thesis and the project was a real test of everything I had learned at Metropolia. The autumn semester was particularly demanding, as personal challenges tested my resolve. Although I began my thesis work early, the last two months became a race against time. With all credits except my thesis completed, I faced a pivotal decision: to graduate in December or postpone it for one more semester, until next June. The unwavering support of my thesis supervisor and the staff of the Master’s degree programme in Business Informatics, was the turning point. Their professional guidance, empathetic approach, and steadfast encouragement were instrumental in helping me overcome the odds. They exemplified how Metropolia’s faculty truly invests in the success of their students, ensuring no one is left behind. Their belief in my potential and their determination to see me succeed pushed me toward the finish line. It is their guidance, combined with the practical learning approach of Metropolia, that allowed me to complete not only my thesis but also to deliver meaningful results. Reflections & Lessons Learned Looking back, my time at Metropolia has been a journey of growth, resilience, and discovery. Here are some of the key lessons I have taken away: Adaptability is Key: Whether it is starting your studies remotely or integrating into a new culture, flexibility and willingness to adapt are essential. Proactive Engagement Leads to Success: Taking initiative whether it is exploring additional learning opportunities or seeking help when needed can make all the difference. Support Systems Matter: From family and friends to university faculty and peers, having a strong support network is invaluable. Practical Learning is Empowering: Metropolia’s focus on applying knowledge to real-world problems prepares students not just to understand concepts but to use them effectively. Advice for Future International Students To those considering studies at Metropolia, my advice is simple: embrace the journey. Plan Ahead: Whether it is organizing your study schedule or preparing for life in a new country, planning can ease the transition. Stay Open to New Experiences: Finland has a lot to offer, from its education system to its culture. Be open to learning and growing both inside and outside the classroom. Leverage Available Resources: Metropolia offers a wealth of resources, from language classes to career services. Make the most of them! Stay Resilient: Challenges are inevitable, but they are also opportunities to grow. Stay focused on your goals and don’t hesitate to seek help when needed. A Final Word Metropolia is more than just a university, it is a community. It is a place where students from diverse backgrounds come together to learn, grow, and make a difference. My journey here has been one of the most rewarding experiences in my life, and I am so grateful for all the opportunities provided by it. I carry with me, as I move on, not just the knowledge and skills I have learned but also the memories and lessons that have shaped me into what I am today. For everyone considering Metropolia, I´d say: take a leap. It is one decision that will challenge you, inspire you, and prepare you for a better future.

From Time Management to Focus Management
It is common knowledge that effective time management is the skill of following a well-structured plan. It is typically done by breaking your day down into hours and minutes, setting priorities, and using to-do lists and schedules to keep track of everything. Still, many people find themselves overwhelmed, distracted, and unable to produce significant outcomes even if they allocate hours and minutes painstakingly. In reality, the problem may be not with our time management but with our attention and concentration. Here is when focus management becomes useful. While time management sees the clock, focus management considers the mind and shifts the emphasis from hours to cognitive resource management. In this blog Metropolia's MBI alumnus Usman Khanzada's provides viewpoints for enhancing focus management both in business and in personal life. Get ready for some valuable tips ahead! Business Perspective The business world clearly shows the need to change from time management to focus management. Focus increases strategic alignment: Leaders and companies realize that success depends on matching activities with strategic objectives (13). In other words, focus management is about accomplishing the right things, not just checking tasks off your list (14). If we take this perspective, concentration management becomes a potent leadership technique rather than only a personal productivity tool. Focus management ensures that individuals and teams are engaged in activities that match with organization´s priorities and goals. Focus helps value-based productivity: Focus management separates high-value and low-value activities, unlike time management, which either sees all chores as equally relevant, or even leads to people doing low-impact tasks, just to check tasks off the list. On the contrary, those who embrace focus management foster a culture of purpose-driven productivity whereby every chore fits a more general goal. It stresses highly impactful activities that promote value creation and success. If only we can articulate this difference clearly, it can help people devote their time to activities that provide significant results, including strategic planning, problem-solving, and value creation. After all, along-term success in any company depends on the quality of work done, rather than the mere volume of activities completed. KPIs Perspective & Quantifiable Results Focus management has concrete advantages measured in numerous spheres. Businesses that have embraced focus management claim higher quality of work, more output, and better innovation results (11,12). Studies have demonstrated that employees who manage their attention instead of merely their time show better key performance indicators (KPIs). According to HBR (9), employees who used concentration management tactics, including deep work and distraction reduction, were 40% more productive than those who depended just on time management approaches. As focus management lets people participate in deep, continuous thought, it has been connected to better problem-solving capacity. In a society where creative problem-solving and invention are ever more valuable, the capacity for concentration is turning into a competitive advantage. (13). Furthermore, these employees who practice focus management also demonstrate higher job satisfaction and reduced stress, which further points to the notion that good concentration management increases output and improves well-being (8). Which Tools Can Help in Focus Management? Several techniques and frameworks can be applied to support focus management so that to enable practical, effective work and better production: EisenhowerMatrix: This tool ranks chores according to priority and urgency, but from the perspective of focus management, it stresses spending time on activities that are important but not urgent, therefore promoting long-term value generation. (8) The Pomodoro Technique: Originally used for time management, this method can be modified for focus management via serious work free from distractions using each Pomodoro (25-minute block) (3,8). OKRs (Objectives and Key Results): Setting well-defined, focused OKRs helps people and teams match their efforts with organizational objectives, ensuring that their focus is on high-impact work. (10) Cognitive Load Theory: Cognitive Load Theory by educational psychologist John Sweller suggests that people have limited capacity for information processing. Learning and task performance degrade when cognitive overload increases. Controlling cognitive load involves screening distractions and concentrating on a few high-priority tasks. However, as with any other tool, the use of these tools and approaches will require personalization. Unlike strict time management strategies, focus management can be tailored to match positions, personalities, and working styles. For instance, while extroverts would like shorter, more active focus sessions, introverts might gain from longer stretches of intense work. Organizations can build a more inclusive and efficient productivity culture by promoting customization of focus management to fit particular demands. How Can Focus Management Help Me? Focus management helps us to direct our cognitive resources toward significant, high-impact activities instead of spreading them around several less important chores. Optimizing our focus helps to regulate cognitive load, improve problem-solving, give space to creativity, and improve task completion. Focus management can help us immediately in at least two situations: In Remote Work and Hybrid Models: Remote and hybrid work has made concentration management more important than ever. Employees must learn self-management outside the conventional office environment and its structures. Without the conventional office structure, staff members are more prone to distractions and thus more responsible for controlling their priorities and attention. Performance can be readily disrupted by distractions including phones, social media, and household interruptions. By fostering disciplined attention, focus management helps people to overcome these challenges and keep engaged even in the absence of outside control. Telecommuters can keep on target and reduce distractions by means of strategies such as establishing limits for phone use, arranging social media breaks, and designating a specific workstation. In maintaining well-being and mental health: Focus management can be a tool for improving well-being as much as increasing work production. It is common knowledge that constant effort to optimize time in high-stress situations could cause burnout and tension. By encouraging deeper involvement with fewer chores, focus management helps to regulate cognitive load and promote a more sustainable production method. Even in difficult jobs, people can find balance and fulfilment by focusing on what counts. Ultimately, focus management can signify a fundamental change in our approach to production, giving meaningful, high impact work top priority above only time management. As companies change, leaders must embrace this attitude to inspire innovation, improve well-being, and align tasks with strategic goals. Those who welcome this change will increase performance and foster a more involved, purpose-driven staff, orienting their companies for long-term expansion in the modern, vibrant workplace.

Mielenterveyshoitotyön osaamistarpeet ensihoidossa
Mielenterveysongelmat lisääntyvät maailmanlaajuisesti. Ensihoidossa kohdataan yhä useammin mielenterveysongelmia (1). Mielenterveysongelmien lisääntyminen ensihoidossa näkyy tehtävämäärän kasvuna (2). Ensihoitajat ovat usein psyykkisesti sairastuneen ensimmäinen kontakti. Ensihoitajilla ei kuitenkaan välttämättä ole riittävästi tietoa eikä taitoja hoitaa psyykkisesti sairaita potilaita (3). Tarvittua tietoa aiheesta tuo esille Metropoliassa laadittu YAMK-opinnäytetyö, jossa kartoitettiin kirjallisuuskatsauksen avulla mielenterveyshoitotyön osaamistarpeita ensihoidossa. Psykiatrisen ensihoitoyksikön pilotti Pirkanmaalla Psykiatrisen ensihoitoyksikön pilotti alkoi Pirkanmaalla ympärivuorokautisena 1.10.2023. Ympärivuorokautinen pilotti kesti puoli vuotta (4). Puolen vuoden pilotin aikana yksikkö ajoi 1300 tehtävää, näistä oli 1020 mielenterveystehtävää. Yksikköä hälytettiin myös kiireellisille tehtäville lähimpänä yksikkönä (5). Ensimmäisen kerran psykiatrista ensihoitoyksikköä pilotoitiin keväällä 2022. Silloin pilotti toimi 12 tuntia vuorokaudessa kuukauden ajan. Pirkanmaalla on vuosittain n. 4500 mielenterveystehtävää, joista noin puolet jätetään kuljettamatta (4). Pilotin aikana potilasryhminä olivat ahdistuneisuus, itsetuhoisuus, lapset ja nuoret, muistisairauksien aiheuttamat ongelmat, sosiaaliset hätätilanteet, päihteiden aiheuttamat ongelmat ja kärjistyneet mielenterveyden haasteet (6). Potilaiden kanssa voitiin viettää enemmän aikaa psykiatrisessa ensihoitoyksikössä, kun normaalissa ensihoitoyksikössä (4). Kuljettamatta jätetyt potilaat saivat hoitoon ohjausta tai ohjausta omien hoitokontaktiensa piiriin (5). Pirkanmaalla toimineen psykiatrisen ensihoitoyksikön pilottia varten tarvittiin tietoa ensihoitajan mielenterveyshoitotyön osaamistarpeista. Pirkanmaan hyvinvointialueen ensihoitopalvelut tilasi YAMK-opinnäytetyön aiheesta. Opinnäytetyön työn toteutti Mika Käpynen ja työn ohjaajana toimi Jukka Kesänen. Ensihoitajien mielenterveyshoitotyön osaamistarpeet ensihoidossa Lisätäkseen ymmärrystä mielenterveyshoitotyön osaamistarpeista Käpynen toteutti opinnäytetyössään (2024) kirjallisuuskatsauksen. Käpynen löysi scoping-katsauksena toteutettussa kirjallisuuskatsauksessa tietokantahaulla ja manuaalisella haulla 20 englanninkielistä tutkimusartikkelia, jotka hän analysoi sisällönanalyysilla. Suomalaisia tutkimuksia aiheesta ei löytynyt. Kansainväliset tutkimukset käsittelivät ensihoitajien asenteita ja kokemuksia mielenterveyspotilaan hoidosta ensihoidossa. Lisäksi tutkimusartikkeleissa kuvattiin potilaiden kokemuksia saamastaan hoidosta ensihoidossa. Mielenterveyshoitotyön osaamistarpeet muodostettiin tutkimusartikkeleissa tiedonantajina toimineiden ensihoitajien, psykiatrisessa ensihoitoyksikössä työskentelevien psykiatristen sairaanhoitajien ja kolmen psykiatrisessa päivystyksessä työskentelevän sairaanhoitajan työssään kohtaamien haasteiden ja kokemuksien perusteelta. Lisäksi osaamistarpeita muodostettiin myös tutkimusartikkeleissa ilmi tulleiden potilaiden, sekä yhden läheisen kokemuksista saamastaan hoidosta ensihoidossa. Tiedot, taidot ja asenteet Käpysen opinnäytetyön (2024) perusteella ensihoitajien osaamistarpeet kohdistuivat tietoihin, taitoihin ja asenteisin. Ensihoitaja tarvitsee tietoa psyykkisistä sairauksista ja mielenterveysongelmista, sekä psykiatrisen potilaan hoitamisesta. Psykiatrisen potilaan hoitamisesta tulisi tietää mm. hoitovaihtoehdoista ja hoitopaikoista sekä ikäihmisten psykiatrisesta ja psykososiaalisesta hoitamisesta. Lisäksi tarvitaan tietoa psykiatrisen potilaan arvioinnista ja mielenterveyslainsäädännöstä. Arvioinnissa tulee huomioida psykiatrisen potilaan hoidon protokolla. Ensihoidossa tarvittavat ensihoitajien taidot olivat erittäin moninaiset, sillä kirjallisuudesta tunnistettiin lähes viisikymmentä yksittäistä taitoa. Taidoista tarpeellisia ovat vuorovaikutustaidot, hoidon tarpeen arviointitaidot, turvallisuustaidot, yhteistyötaidot, ohjaustaidot, tunteidenhallintataidot, ensihoidon interventiot, kirjaamis- ja raportointitaidot, päätöksentekotaidot sekä osaamisen kehittämisen ja työkyvystä huolehtimisentaidot. Vuorovaikutustaitoihin kuuluu mm. luottamuksen luominen, kommunikointi ja vahvat ihmissuhdetaidot. Kommunikointiin liittyy esimerkiksi ajan käyttäminen potilaan kohtaamiseen, empaattinen suhtautuminen, kuunteleminen sekä keskustelutaidot. Yleiskuvan muodostaminen potilaan tilanteesta ja arviointityökalun käyttäminen potilaan tilan arvioinnissa ovat esimerkkejä hoidon tarpeen arviointitaidoista. Mielenterveyspotilaan ensihoidossa tulee varautua esimerkiksi potilaan odottamattomiin reaktioihin ja estää tilanteiden kärjistyminen sekä huomioida henkilökohtainen turvallisuus. Ensihoidossa tehdään yhteistyötä muiden viranomaisten kanssa, potilaan ja hänen läheistensä sekä työparin kanssa. Mielenterveystehtävillä potilaalle annetaan kuljettamatta jättämisen yhteydessä hoito-ohjeita ja hoitoon ohjausta. Ensihoitajien tunteidenhallintataitoihin liittyy muutoksiin sopeutuminen stressaavissa tilanteissa ja turhautumisen välttäminen mielenterveyspotilaita kohtaan sekä tunteiden hallinta selviytymismekanismien avulla, joita ovat esimerkiksi huumori. Ensihoidon interventioita ovat mm. selkeiden rajojen asettaminen ja omaisten osallistaminen sekä mielenterveyspotilaan oloa helpottavien asioiden ehdottaminen. Mielenterveyspotilaan kohdalla kirjaamis- ja raportointitaitoja ovat esimerkiksi selkeä viestintä päivystyksen henkilökunnalle potilasta hoitoon luovutettaessa ja itsemurha-ajatusten dokumentointi. Potilaan päätöksentekoon osallistumisen mahdollistaminen ja itsetuhoisten potilaiden hoitoa koskeva päätöksenteko sekä lääkärin arvion käyttäminen itsetuhoisen potilaan kuljetuspäätöksen teossa kuuluvat päätöksentekotaitoihin. Osaamista tulee kehittää kouluttautumalla ja työkyvystä huolehtia pyytämällä jälkipuintia tarvittaessa. Asennetasolla ensihoidossa olennaisia ovat ensihoitajien ennakkokäsitykset, mielenterveysongelmiin ja psyykkisiin sairauksiin suhtautuminen, sekä mielenterveys- ja päihdepotilaisiin suhtautuminen. Ensihoitajien ennakkokäsitykset saattavat vaikuttaa negatiivisesti potilaskohtaamisiin, joten ne on tärkeää tiedostaa ja varmistaa, että ne eivät vaikuta hoitotyössä. Mielenterveystehtävät ovat osa ensihoitoa ja mielenterveyspotilaita kuuluu pitää tasavertaisina muihin potilaisiin nähden. Kunnioittava suhtautuminen psyykkisesti sairaita potilaita kohtaan on ensiarvoisen tärkeää. Mielenterveyshoitotyön lisäkoulutus ja jatkotutkimus on tarpeen ensihoidossa Mielenterveyshoitotyön osaamistarpeet ensihoidossa sisältävät useita laaja-alaisia tietoihin, taitoihin sekä asenteisiin liittyviä tarpeita. Ensihoidon johtamisessa on tarpeen kiinnittää huomiota mielenterveyshoitotyön koulutuksen lisäämiseen. Tämä edellyttää myös, että ensihoitoon kohdennetaan riittävästi resursseja. Ensihoidossa mielenterveyshoitotyön lisäkoulutus on tärkeää, jolloin potilaiden hoitokin on laadukkaampaa. Näin mielenterveysongelmaisia voidaan ohjata tarkoituksen mukaisiin hoitopaikkoihin ja myös päivystyksen työkuorma vähenee (7). Psykiatrisen ensihoitoyksikön toiminnan avulla olisi mahdollista kehittää osaamista ja varmistaa potilaan laadukas hoito. Tärkeitä jatkotutkimusaiheita olisi selvittää, kyselytutkimuksella ja haastattelemalla millaista mielenterveyshoitotyön osaamista Suomessa toimivilla ensihoitajilla on tietojen, taitojen ja asenteiden osalta. Kannattaisi myös tutkia, miten mielenterveyshoitotyön tietoja, taitoja ja asenteita voidaan parantaa ensihoidossa. Kirjoittajat Mika Käpynen ensihoitaja ylempi AMK työskentelee Pirkanmaan hyvinvointialueen ensihoitopalveluissa hoitotason ensihoitajana. Kiinnostuksen kohteena hänellä on mielenterveyshoitotyö ensihoidossa, joten opinnäytetyön aihe on hänelle merkityksellinen. Hän toimi ensihoitajana psykiatrisen ensihoitoyksikön pilotissa ja tunnisti siinä toimiessaan mielenterveyshoitotyön osaamistarpeiden laajuuden, toteaa opinnäytetyössään mielenterveyshoitotyön osaamistarpeita ensihoidossa tutkinut Käpynen.
