Journal ArticleDOI

Health Literacy and Health Outcomes in Diabetes: A Systematic Review

TL;DR: There is little sufficient or consistent evidence suggesting that it is independently associated with processes or outcomes of diabetes-related care, and it may be premature to routinely screen for low health literacy as a means for improving diabetes- related health-related outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI

A systematic review of selected evidence on developing nursing students' critical thinking through problem-based learning.

TL;DR: The available evidence did not provide supportive evidence on developing nursing students' critical thinking through PBL and there is a need for additional research with larger sample size and high quality to clarify the effects of PBL on critical thinking development within nursing educational context.
Journal ArticleDOI

The contribution of high‐fidelity simulation to nursing students' confidence and competence: a systematic review

TL;DR: There was still insufficient evidence for supporting the notion that students' confidence and competency are enhanced through HFS, and there was a deficit of formal measurement tools available to evaluate HFS.
Journal ArticleDOI

A systematic review of selected evidence on improving knowledge and skills through high-fidelity simulation

TL;DR: The high-fidelity simulation did enhance the scores on knowledge and skill exams but its contribution to objective structured clinical evaluation is mixed and it is necessary to conduct additional RCTs with larger sample sizes to determine whether performance can be enhanced by high- fidelity simulation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Improvement of nursing students' critical thinking skills through problem-based learning in the People's Republic of China: a quasi-experimental study.

TL;DR: Problem-based learning fostered nursing students' critical thinking skills and had a significantly greater improvement on the overall California Critical Thinking Skills Test, analysis, and induction subscale scores compared with the lecture students.
