Background:The COVID-19 pandemic has alarmed an urgent change in all spectra on the lives of people including education sector. Objective: This narrative review summarizes the challenges of online education in nursing and explores the possible opportunities to improve or maintain the standards of nursing education. Methods: A comprehensive literature search was done to identify the challenges of online education in nursing. Seven primary studies meeting the inclusion criteria, published from the onset of COVID-19 until 5 th September 2020 were included in this narrative review. Results: The available literature shows that, students are missing the practical aspects of nursing care, the real essence of nursing education during e-learning, cancellation of international training, loss of job opportunities due to lack of confidence in their skill are bothersome for students and educators. Success of e-learning is also affected by internet connectivity issues, problem with electricity and lack of computer literacy. At the same time, it is found that online education delivery is substituting theory learning to a great extent, however practical training remains indispensable for nursing education. Conclusion: Continuous engagement and motivation from the part of both the students and nurse educators is very essential in meeting the educational needs during this crisis.

This evidence and gap map will provide an overview of the existing systematic reviews and impact evaluations on the key outcome domains and interventions aimed at improving social protection among people living in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs). The specific objectives of this map are to: (1) Develop a clear framework of types of interventions and outcomes related to the effectiveness of interventions on social protection for people in LMICs. (2) Map available systematic reviews and primary studies on the effectiveness of interventions on social protection for people in LMICs. (3) Provide a structured and accessible collection of existing evidence and identifying gaps in the available evidence on social protection intervention, thereby helping to inform the research agendas of funders and other organisations.
