Background: Ethics stimulation in nursing education focuses on human, non-technical factors in a clinical reality. Simulation as a teaching method began in the 1930s with flight simulators. In the beginning of the 1990s, simulations developed further in tandem with other technological and digital inventions, including touchscreen and three-dimensional anatomical models. Medical science first used simulation as a pedagogical teaching tool. In nursing education, simulation has been used for approximately a hundred years. Teaching has mainly focused on medical-technical, patient-specific interventions and their management. Objective: The objective of this study was, from a caring science didactic perspective, to deepen the understanding of ethics simulation in nursing education. Design: Qualitative design and explorative, descriptive and hermeneutic approach of an inductive character. Methods: Semi-structured face-to-face interviews in 2016–2017 with six Norwegian nursing students who were encouraged to narrate about their experiences of ethics simulation in nursing education. Ethical considerations: Informed consent was obtained from the participants. Anonymity and confidentiality regarding data material were guaranteed. Results: Interpretation of the nursing students’ narratives resulted in the following meaning units: ethical being and ethos, nursing students’ formation process, bridge-building between theory and clinical practice, and teacher and ethics simulation. Conclusion: Through ethics simulation, nursing students can obtain an increased knowledge and a sense of being able to handle difficult ethical situations. Nursing students’ values, moral actions and ethical value base offer a positive point of departure, for both theoretical and practical ethics teaching, and an awareness of the unique human being, the patient, in clinical reality. The implementation of ethics simulation needs more attention in nursing education.

AbstractObjectiveClinical reasoning is an essential feature of health care practice; it is also a crucial ability for providing patient care of high quality. It has been identified that graduate nurses may lack the clinical reasoning skills to deliver safe and effective patient care. It is therefore of paramount importance to enhance nursing students' clinical reasoning ability. High-fidelity simulation (HFS) is proved to be an effective teaching and learning method, which may also have some advantages over other teaching methods.MethodsThe authors retrospectively reviewed the related literature, illustrated the application of high-fidelity simulation teaching method in nursing education, putting the focus on the use of it in teaching with clinical reasoning.ResultsThe application of high-fidelity simulation to nursing education can simulate the clinical situation, thus to create a safe, continuous and efficient learning environment for students, and it can effectively improve students' clinical reasoning ability.Conclusionshigh-fidelity simulation is effective for clinical reasoning teaching in nursing education. The extension of its application in China should be of great value. The relevant further study is suggested focusing on how to overcome its own limitations and have it better applied in nursing education in China.

Nursing students are exposed to a vast amount of information and reading material that is very specific, technical, and new to the students. Unless nurse educators provide a learning environment that promotes understanding through interaction, students might only commit unassimilated information to their short-term memory through rote learning, and no meaningful learning will occur. Nursing students must be able to link learned facts, concepts and principles with new knowledge in order to make sound rational decisions in practice (All & Havens 1997:1210, 1213). The aim of this paper is to describe the utilisation of concept-mapping as a teaching method to facilitate critical thinking by students in nursing education. The description of the utilisation of concept-mapping is done from the theoretical framework of concept-mapping and critical thinking to provide the epistemological basis for concept-mapping (Facione 1990:6, 13). Based on the exploration and description of the theoretical frameworks, four steps to facilitate critical thinking were formulated through concept-mapping on the basis of the educational process: the identification, interactive constructing process, formulation and evaluation steps. It is concluded that the utilisation of these steps will assist nurse educators to implement conceptmapping as a teaching method to facilitate critical thinking by student nurses in nursing education. Recommendations are made.Opsomming Verpleegkundestudente word blootgestel aan ’n geweldige hoeveelheid inligting en leesmateriaal wat baie spesifiek, tegnies en nuut is vir die studente. Tensy verpleegkundeopvoeders ’n leeromgewing kan voorsien wat deur interaksie die bevordering van begrip bewerkstellig, kan studente inligting deur papegaaiwerk in hul korttermyngeheue stoor, eerder as om dit te assimileer – geen betekenisvolle leer sal dus plaasvind nie. Verpleegkundestudente moet die vermoë hê om die verband tussen aangeleerde feite, konsepte en beginsels en nuwe kennis te lê sodat hulle in die praktyk rasionale besluite kan maak (All & Havens 1997:1210, 1213). Hierdie artikel het ten doel om die aanwending van konsepkartering as 'n onderrigstrategie te beskryf, ten einde die kritiese denke van leerders in die verpleegkunde te fasiliteer. Die beskrywing van die aanwending van konsepkartering word vanuit die teoretiese raamwerke van konsepkartering en kritiese denke gedoen om die epistemologiese grondslag vir konsepkartering te voorsien (Facione 1990:6, 13). Gegrond op die verkenning en beskrywing van die teoretiese raamwerke, word vier fases vir die fasilitering van kritiese denke geformuleer deur middel van konsepkartering. Hierdie verkenning en beskrywing is gebaseer op die onderwysproses: die identifiseringsfase, die interaktiewe konstrueringsproses, die formuleringsfase en evalueringsfase. Die gevolgtrekking word gemaak dat die aanwending van hierdie fases verpleegopvoeders behulpsaam sal wees in die implementering van konsepkartering as 'n onderrigmetode om kritiese denke by leerling verpleërs te fasiliteer in verpleegkunde-onderwys. Aanbevelings word gemaak.

In nursing teaching, students are required to apply the learned theoretical knowledge to practical operation, and have the ability to comprehensively analyze and solve problems. At present, the traditional teaching mode is mostly used in nursing teaching in China. "Indoctrination" with textbooks as the theoretical basis and teachers' teaching as the main teaching method " With the rise of network technology and the application of modern educational technology in teaching, the research direction and focus of PBL have gradually shifted to the integration of network environment and PBL teaching mode This paper studies the application of Internet and artificial intelligence in humanized nursing teaching. This paper focuses on PBL teaching method based on network environment (WPBL) The results show that PBL teaching mode under the network environment does have many advantages in medical nursing education. This method can effectively cultivate nursing students' problem-solving ability and critical thinking ability, which is consistent with the goal of nursing education.

AbstractObjectiveSkill competence is essential for nursing students and experiential teaching method has become increasingly popular in China's nursing education. To systematically evaluate the effects of experiential teaching method on the development of nursing students’ skill competence, and to provide evidence for nursing education.MethodsThe China National Knowledge Infrastructure, VIP, Wanfang Data, PubMed, and Web of Science databases were searched from their inception until November 28, 2019. We screened the studies according to inclusion and exclusion criteria, extracted the data, and assessed the quality. Then, a meta-analysis was conducted.ResultsTotally 15 studies were included, and 1,633 nursing students were analyzed by Review Manager5.3 and Stata15.1 software. The results show that the experiential teaching method can significantly improve nursing students’ nursing skills such as training (SMD = 1.05, 95% CI: 0.95–1.16, P = 0.000), learning interest (ES = 0.93, 95% CI: 0.79–1.06), ability to analyze and solve problems (ES = 0.75, 95% CI: 0.55–0.94), ability to judge and innovative thinking (ES = 1.01, 95% CI: 0.77–1.25), abilities of understanding and perception (ES = 0.59, 95% CI: 0.34–0.83), and teaching satisfaction (ES = 1.26, 95% CI: 1.13–1.4).ConclusionsThe results suggest that the experiential teaching method is more effective for the nursing students’ skill competence than traditional teaching in China. However, due to the heterogeneity and bias risk, a large sample and high-quality studies are needed in future to confirm its effectiveness.

Nursing education involves a practice-oriented curriculum in which emphasis is placed on both theoretical knowledge and psychomotor skills. In skill-based education, where learning through practice occupies a central role, it is important to ensure the integration of theoretical knowledge into practice. In this context, simulations represent an innovative teaching method that stimulates a number of senses at the same time among learners. Simulation is a method which can be designed to reflect real-life conditions, and which provides the opportunity to work in contexts that are closer and more representative of real settings. Depending on the clinical situation or scenario; the simulation method will involve a student or a group of students performing a number of patient care activities on a manikin, player or standardized patient. The simulation method allows students to repeatedly practice their clinical skills until they develop a sense of proficiency; to learn at their own pace; and to freely make mistakes. Simulations is an educational process that can replicate clinical practices in a safe environment. Nursing students who take part in education programs involving simulations perform less medical mistakes in clinical settings, and are able to better develop their critical thinking and clinical decision-making skills. For these reasons, we recommend that simulations, which represent an interactive learning method, are rendered more common in institutions providing nursing education. Keywords: Simulation; nursing education; nursing students

Over the past decade, the rapid developments and growth of information and communication technology (ICT) have had a profound influence on nursing education. E-learning has grown tremendously has been integrated into education and training. The aim of this review is to examine the effect of e-learning program in nursing education. Akdeniz University electronic databases center including MEDLINE, CINAHL, Sciencedirect, Cochrane library were searched published studies in English with “e-learning, nursing education, nursing students” key words and 554 articles were reached by the search results. By the analysis, published 2011-2016, the original six manuscripts have been sampled. A cross-over design study examined the effect of lecture and e-learning methods were compared, no significant difference was found between two methods. In another study, the effect of using e-learning versus lecture of nursing students was examined. Students were indicated to be pleased with the e-learning program. Another study evaluated the effectiveness of an e-learning intervention on pain management for nursing students, it was found to be useful. In another study, experiences of e-learning in a midwifery training package and student's views were evaluated, the students generally welcomed to e-learning however they suggested face-to-face learning. Another study tested the effectiveness of an e-learning program to increase pediatric medication management among students who take pediatric nursing courses, e-learning program is an effective learning method than lecture program. In another study, the effects of e-learning, lectures  and role playing on learning, retention and satisfaction of nursing students were evaluated, it was found lectures to be a significantly more effective teaching method than role playing and e-learning. Results of this review showed that students’ satisfaction with e-learning was lower than traditional lecture instruction. However different and well planned e-learning programmes can support the development of nursing students' skills, knowledge and attitudes.   Keywords: E-learning; nursing students; nursing education.

The objective of this research is to analyze how nursing students of the Marilia Medical School (FAMEMA) perceive the Systematized Educational Unit, to motivate the reflection regarding the course’s curriculum, which goes through a dynamic improvement process, allowing the implementation of necessary changes. It’s about a qualitative study, in which 20 undergraduates from the first and second years were interviewed, providing data for the thematic analysis. The chosen analysis modality made possible to explore the object of investigation in a systematic way and contributed to the beginner’s researcher learning about the qualitative data process. Through the thematic analysis it was observed, in the undergraduates speeches, some contributions of the active methodologies: the learning how to learn, the development of the critical reasoning and the autonomy to search for information in a qualified way, to build the knowledge, teamwork abilities and the humanized education focused on the broader approach of the care. The articulation of the tutorial cases with practice is considered a strength by the interviewed, while the undergraduates’ difficulty in transitioning from the traditional teaching method to the active methodologies after they enroll in FAMEMA is a weakness. According to the students, the study is deeper in the active methods of teaching-learning compared to the traditional teaching. However, there is a need to improve how the contents are delimited and explored.

Nursing education from the past to the present has focused mainly on traditional learning methods in classroom settings, where the student is in a passive position and based on behavioral learning approaches. However, today, changes and developments in socio-cultural and political fields in information and technology necessitate the foundation of nursing education on student-centered active teaching methods / approaches that will enable the student to actively participate, think creatively and take responsibility. One of these methods is Peer Education, in which peers work in cooperation, learn from each other, help each other learn and teach by learning, and assume responsibility for learning themselves. Peer Education; especially in clinical practice is a nursing students' lack of role models, nurses work more than workload, insufficient number of nurses, because of the lack of adequate number and quality of nursing faculty members to receive consultancy, guidance nurse concept is not fully developed, differences between educators, etc. minimize / eliminate many problems, to ensure that educators use their limited time more effectively and that students can use their theoretical knowledge, to ensure effective and efficient use of clinical practice, support their active participation in the learning process, a teaching method that can be used to develop creative thinking, independent study and problem solving skills. Peer education also includes nursing students with sexually transmitted diseases, HIV / AIDS, violence, diabetes, smoking, alcohol and substance abuse, disability education, and so on. is also widely applied. Peer education is important for on these subjects, nursing students to increase their knowledge, skills and awareness, adaptation, develop healthy behavior or change behavior, increase their self-confidence, ensure positive hospital experience, prevent conflicts, increase both academic success and satisfaction professional life. ​Extended English summary is in the end of Full Text PDF (TURKISH) file.   Özet Geçmişten günümüze hemşirelik eğitimi ağırlıklı olarak sınıf ortamında gerçekleştirilen, öğrencinin pasif konumda olduğu, davranışçı öğrenme yaklaşımlarına temellenen geleneksel öğrenme yöntemlerine odaklanmıştır. Ancak günümüzde bilgi ve teknolojide, sosyo-kültürel, siyasi alanlarda yaşanan değişme ve gelişmeler, hemşirelik eğitiminin öğrencinin aktif katılımını, yaratıcı düşünmesini, sorumluluk üstlenmesini sağlayacak öğrenci merkezli aktif öğretim yöntemlerine/yaklaşımlarına temellenmesini zorunlu kılmaktadır. Bu yöntemlerden biri de, akranların işbirliği içinde çalışacakları, birbirlerinden öğrenecekleri, birbirlerinin öğrenmelerine yardım ettikleri ve öğreterek öğrendikleri, öğrenme sorumluluğunu kendilerinin üstlendikleri Akran Eğitimi'dir. Akran Eğitimi; hemşirelik eğitiminde yaşanan öğrencilerin özellikle klinik uygulamalarda rol model bulamaması, hemşirelerin iş yoğunluğunun fazla hemşire sayısının yetersiz olması, yeterli sayı ve nitelikte hemşire öğretim elemanının bulunmaması dolayısıyla öğrencilerin danışmanlık alması, rehber hemşire kavramının tam gelişmemiş olması, eğitimciler arası farklılıklar vb. birçok sorunu en aza indirmek/ortadan kaldırmak, hem eğitimcilerin sınırlı zamanlarını daha etkin kullanmalarını hem de öğrencilerin kuramsal bilgilerini kullanabilmelerini ve klinik uygulamadan etkili ve verimli şekilde yararlanmalarını, öğrenme sürecine aktif katılımlarını desteklemek, yaratıcı düşünme, bağımsız çalışma ve problem çözme becerilerini geliştirmek amacıyla kullanılabilecek bir öğretim yöntemidir. Akran eğitimi ayrıca hemşirelik öğrencilerinin cinsel yolla bulaşan hastalıklar, HIV/AIDS, şiddet, diyabet, sigara, alkol ve madde bağımlılığı, engelli eğitimi vb. konularda da yaygın olarak uygulanmaktadır. Bu konularda yapılan akran eğitimleri, hemşirelik öğrencilerinin konulara ilişkin bilgi, beceri ve farkındalıklarını, uyumlarını artırması, sağlıklı davranış geliştirmelerini ya da davranış değiştirmelerini sağlaması, özgüvenlerini arttırması, olumlu hastane deneyimi edinmelerini sağlaması, çatışmaları önlemesi, her iki tarafın akademik başarı ve memnuniyetini artırması ve onları mesleki yaşama hazırlaması açısından önem taşımaktadır.
