“…Simulation modality was not stated. In a study related to master’s education coursework in health sciences, Saaranen et al [ 68 ] found that planning of teaching, carrying out different stages of the simulation exercise by using simulated patients, participant roles, and students’ personal factors were central to the attainment by the students of competence in communication.…”

Status of Nordic research on simulation-based learning in healthcare: an integrative review

et al. 2018

BackgroundBased on common geography, sociopolitics, epidemiology, and healthcare services, the Nordic countries could benefit from increased collaboration and uniformity in the development of simulation-based learning (SBL). To date, only a limited overview exists on the Nordic research literature on SBL and its progress in healthcare education. Therefore, the aim of this study is to fill that gap and suggest directions for future research.MethodsAn integrative review design was used. A search was conducted for relevant research published during the period spanning from 1966 to June 2016. Thirty-seven studies met the inclusion criteria. All included studies were appraised for quality and were analyzed using thematic analysis.ResultsThe Nordic research literature on SBL in healthcare revealed that Finland has published the greatest number of qualitative studies, and only Sweden and Norway have published randomized control trials. The studies included interprofessional or uniprofessional teams of healthcare professionals and students. An assessment of the research design revealed that most studies used a qualitative or a descriptive design. The five themes that emerged from the thematic analysis comprised technical skills, non-technical skills, user experience, educational aspects, and patient safety.ConclusionThis review has identified the research relating to the progress of SBL in the Nordic countries. Most Nordic research on SBL employs a qualitative or a descriptive design. Shortcomings in simulation research in the Nordic countries include a lack of well-designed randomized control trials or robust evidence that supports simulation as an effective educational method. In addition, there is also a shortage of studies focusing on patient safety, the primary care setting, or a combination of specialized and primary care settings. Suggested directions for future research include strengthening the design and methodology of SBL studies, incorporating a cross-country comparison of studies using simulation in the Nordic countries, and studies combining specialized and primary care settings.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1186/s41077-018-0071-8) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…3 One of the most important parts of nursing education is clinical education; it is very important for personal development and promotion of practical skills. 4 Nursing education is closely linked to the real work environment, and nursing students always play the dual role of direct education and participation in patient caring. 5 From the perspective of nursing students, the clinical learning environment includes nursing instructors and staff.…”

Purpose: Nursing is a practice-based discipline. Clinical education is one of the most important parts of nursing education; nurses play an important role in the learning of nursing students. This study was carried out to unveil the challenges of nursing students' learning through working with nurses. Methods: A qualitative design was used to conduct the study in city of Khalkhal, Ardabil province, Iran. In order to collect data through purposive sampling, twenty students were interviewed using in-depth semi-structured individual techniques. Data analysis was done using MAXODA 12. Results: Challenges of nursing students' learning were generally categorized into three main themes including inappropriate social norms, inadequate organizational atmosphere, and inadequate resources. Conclusion: It seems that inappropriate organizational culture in the clinical setting and wrong distribution of resources will lead to disruption of student-nurse relationships and ultimately disruption of clinical education.

“…Given the amount of competences evaluated, and their importance, it is also relevant to analyze the learning method that students use to learn, as well as the approach professors and lecturers propose when teaching. In fact, in the context of higher education, several strategies are proposed to develop competences such as: simulations in nursing school studies, for Health Science (Saaranen et al, 2015); learning based problem solving for Business Direction and Administration, in Social Sciences (Carriger, 2016); Small Group Learning (SGL) for Sciences, Mathematics, Engineering, and Technology (Springer et al, 1999).…”

The Small Group Learning (SGL) permeates throughout higher education fields of study. Thus, our aim is to assess the influence of a planned activity of SGL on a variety of competences appraisals through a multidisciplinary perspective. To that end, cooperative learning activities implemented under the SGL approach were programmed for six different degrees. For each activity, students were provided with instructions about what the activity was about and how to make it. Two surveys were scheduled before and after the completion of the SGL. Our findings are presented in a descriptive and quantitative analysis, using surveys with which we examine the pre and post differences in students’ self-reports. As a result, self-perceptions on oral and written expression and bibliography competence increased after the practice of the Small Group Learning (SGL) strategy in students from Social Science degrees as well as in students from Psychology degree. In addition, receiving feedback showed an improvement for the whole sample after doing SGL. Our results confirm that, in order to achieve an excellent quality education, SGL could be applied equally in different fields of study: both Health and Social Sciences. The novelty of this study is that it has been conducted in six different academic degrees and has focused on higher education skills in order to improve future undergraduate’s employability.
