“…Digital technology provides opportunities for innovative pedagogy, facilitation of learning and teaching and organization of higher education, including nursing education (Gause et al, 2022). A recent integrative review (Gause et al, 2022) reported that technology is used in clinical and classroom nursing teaching to complement learning, with a recent notable increase in clinical settings. Digital educational resources have supplemented learning in clinical placements and enabled more regular mentoring (Heinonen et al, 2019).…”

AimTo report a methodological, co‐creative approach for developing an interactive digital educational resource to enhance the quality of student nurses' clinical education in nursing homes and to elucidate the lessons learned from this approach.DesignThis study applied a co‐design methodology that builds on participatory design principles.MethodsCo‐creating the digital educational resource included multiple sequential and interactive phases inspired by the design thinking framework. Workshops were employed as the primary co‐creative activity.ResultsSeven separate homogenous or joint heterogeneous workshops were conducted with student nurses, nurse educators, registered nurse mentors and e‐learning designers (n = 36) during the active stakeholder engagement phases to inform the educational content, design and functionality of the digital educational resource. These were informed by, and grounded in, learning theory and principles.ConclusionCo‐creative approaches in nursing education are an essential avenue for further research. We still lack systematic knowledge about the impact and benefits of co‐created initiatives, stakeholders' motivations, barriers, facilitators to participation and the role of context in supporting effective co‐creative processes to increase the quality of nursing education.ImpactThis paper demonstrates how digital educational initiatives to enhance quality in clinical nursing education can be co‐created with key stakeholders through a novel methodological approach inspired by design thinking. To date, the methodological development process of co‐created educational interventions has received limited attention and compared with the content and theoretical underpinnings of such interventions, has rarely been addressed. Therefore, this paper facilitates knowledge exchange and documents vital aspects to consider when co‐creating digital educational initiatives incorporating multistakeholder perspectives. This promotes a stronger academic–practice partnership to impact and enhance the quality of clinical nursing education in nursing homes.Public ContributionsStudent nurses, nurse educators, and registered nurse mentors worked alongside researchers and e‐learning designers in the co‐creative process.

“…The use of technology makes learning fun and interesting and applies to all areas, including nursing education [2]. During the COVID-19 pandemic and social distancing protocols, non-faceto-face education programs, such as online lectures or mobile apps, have increased in number and have been newly developed [3]. Using Metaverse is one of the trends in future education with great potential, especially in the medical area [4].…”

Background The introduction of new technologies is transforming traditional educational approaches into ones that incorporate new technologies. The use of technology enhances learning by making it enjoyable and engaging, and this applies to all fields, including nursing education. While the potential of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technologies for remote clinical skills training has been recognized, research integrating AR into nursing education programs is limited. Therefore, the aim of this study was to develop and implement an educational program using AR and evaluate the satisfaction, usability, and acceptance of future nurses as actual users. Objective This study aims to utilize AR-based learning platforms to educate ICU nurses on device usage. The objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of this innovative approach and document the outcomes. Methods The AR learning platform utilized in this study was based on Kern's six-step approach, widely used in educational research when introducing new teaching methods. To identify existing issues, interviews were conducted with four nursing education experts, and their insights were incorporated into the development of the AR-based program. Two AR educational programs were developed and applied to actual users, followed by evaluations. The evaluation process consisted of interviews and surveys conducted with four developers and operators to ascertain the necessity of the AR learning program, as well as interviews and surveys conducted with program users. Results Overall, the evaluation of AR-based education was positive with participants indicating that AR could improve their actual clinical performance. AR is a technology suitable for self-directed or hands-on learning theory those who interested in experience and self-learning rated the program particularly well. Nurses were found to be receptive to education using new technology. Conclusions This study highlights the potential of using AR in nursing education as a successful alternative to traditional education in terms of self-directed learning and practical training. By strategically integrating AR into educational programs, trainees were able to gain valuable practical experience in a safe and controlled environment while maintaining control over their learning journey. The utilization of AR technology fostered active participation, learner-centered self-directed learning, and technological advancement, thereby enhancing the overall efficiency of medical education programs.

Background: This research aimed to develop a questionnaire to analyze perceived aspects of using digital technology among nursing students as a collaborative tool. We further sought to evaluate the psychometric reliability of the instrument. Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was performed using a questionnaire developed from scratch. Psychometric studies and univariate and bivariate analyses were performed. Results: 132 nursing students participated. The exploratory and confirmatory analyses of the questionnaire excluded 4 of the initial 18 items and established four domains, and internal consistency was found. The mean global score of the answers to the questionnaire was 4.67 on a scale of 1–5 points, and all the domains obtained high scores. Men scored higher on the usefulness and the global score, while no differences were found regarding age. Conclusions: Nursing students positively assess the use of digital technology as a collaborative tool, regardless of age. Digital technology as a collaborative tool is perceived as beneficial, improves their involvement, and allows nursing students to obtain a better knowledge of their partners. These findings can help develop group projects and tools based on technology to train future nursing professionals. The questionnaire developed is a valid tool to assess this.
