“…One method used to train patients is the peer education (21). Peers can have better contact with their group mates, share their experiences, and encourage them to follow healthy behaviors (22,23). Peer education is frequently used in young people for the correction of sexual behavior, drug abuse, and smoking (24).…”

Background: Coronary angiography is a stressful procedure for most patients. The physiological responses caused by anxiety during coronary angiography increase the likelihood of dysrhythmia, coronary artery spasm, and rupture. Objectives: This study compared the effects of peer education and an orientation tour on anxiety in patients who were candidates for coronary artery angiography. Patients and Methods: This single blind quasi-experimental study was conducted in 2014. A total of 177 patients who were candidates for coronary artery angiography were divided into three groups: a peer education group, an orientation tour group, and a control group. The patients in the peer education group were trained by a peer educator, and the patients in in the orientation tour group were trained by the researcher, who worked in the angiography unit. The DASS-21 questionnaire was used to measure the patients' anxiety levels before the intervention and two hours before undergoing the coronary angiography. The data were analyzed using a Chi-square test, analysis of variance, the Kruskal-Wallis, Wilcoxon, Mann-Whitney U tests, and an interquartile range. Results: The three groups did not significantly differ regarding the mean anxiety scores before the intervention. However, a significant difference was observed between the mean anxiety scores of the three groups after the intervention (P = 0.0001). In the peer education group, the mean anxiety score was 5.34 ± 2.52 and decreased to 3.69 ± 2.87 after the intervention (P = 0.0001). In the orientation tour group, the mean anxiety was 5.53 ± 3.49, which and changed to 3.10 ± 2.22 (P = 0.0001). However, the mean anxiety score significantly increased in the control group (5.66 ± 2.94 vs. 6.53 ± 3.43, P = 0.017). Conclusions: Both methods of peer education and orientation tour decreased the anxiety levels in patients undergoing coronary artery angiography. Therefore, these approaches should be carried out according to the hospital condition and facilities.

“…When comparing the results from the questionnaires to results from previous research studies, similarities and differences are evident. Prihajo and Hoy [2] described enhanced student and patient education as a positive outcome of peer-teaching. Questionnaire responses, especially gathered from the Nursing Assessment students, indicated greater student learning when taught by the Adult Health II student.…”

“…One effect of peer-teaching, found within the literature, is the ability to enhance student and patient education [2]. The importance of providing patient education is a nursing role that is continually being emphasized, and peer-teaching is a method used to demonstrate the importance of teaching and learning from others [2]. As nursing students are being prepared to take on the role of competent nurses, it is important that they are equipped with the knowledge to teach patients about healthcare needs.…”

Peer-teaching is an educational strategy that has recently been incorporated into a School of Nursing curriculum. This change was analyzed to determine the effectiveness of peer-teaching from the nursing student perspective. The Adult Health II nursing students taught basic nursing skills to Nursing Assessment students, and a survey was anonymously completed by both the Adult Health II and Nursing Assessment students who voluntarily participated in the survey. The survey results were then used to analyze the successes and shortcomings of peer-teaching through comparison to findings from similar research projects. The aim of this research is to use the knowledge gained to influence future teaching strategies and classroom structure within Schools of Nursing. This research, therefore, illustrates the results of peer teachings and how those results will be used in the future nursing curriculum.

“…In nursing schools, peer teaching is more used in laboratory settings where students alternatively play the roles of peer teachers and peer learners (9) . As peerteachers, students are asked to design teaching plans that include specific, concrete objectives related to a skill or topic, and identify relevant resources, and then apply this to small groups of students (10) .…”

Background: Peer teaching has been used in education to address critical thinking, psychomotor skills, cognitive development, and academic gains. It can be an alternative to traditional instruction by a specialist that enables more students to be trained in CPR. As it is widely available, cost-effective, and culturally attuned. Aim of the current study is to determine the effectiveness of peer teaching on the performance of nursing students' regarding pediatric cardio pulmonary resuscitation. A Quasi-experimental research design was used to conduct the current study at the clinical Pediatric laboratory skills, Faculty of Nursing, Suez canal University. Subjects: All 92 nursing students enrolled in the 3 rd year, were agreed to participate in the study. These were divided into two groups equally; study and control groups and was selected randomly. Tools: Four tools were used for data collection: A Structured Interviewing Questionnaire Schedule, Student's Clinical Evaluation checklist, Clinical Teaching Preference Questionnaire and Peer Teaching Experience Questionnaire. Results: The study findings indicate that, the knowledge and performance scores of the nursing students studying by peer teaching method will be significantly better than those studying by traditional teaching methods. The student in this group agreed on many benefits of the peer teaching both as teachers' and student. Conclusion: Based on the results of the present study, it was concluded that, our study findings add more support in favor of the peer teaching approach evidence by an obvious improvement in students' knowledge and performance scores. Moreover, The majority of students in this group feeling less anxious, comfortable, more self confident in teaching as well as improving their communication skills Recommendation: Adopt peer teaching method in undergraduate nursing curricula for teaching clinical skills to enhance students' acquisition of knowledge with better performance. Similar studies should replicate the current study with a larger sample size at several universities in order to provide stronger evidence for generalized the results.
