TLDR
Low-fidelity simulation was found both to be effective, as it provided familiarity with equipment used in theclinical setting, and inadequate due to lacking opportunity to discern differences encountered in the clinical setting.Abstract:
Background: It is assumed that practical skills learned through simulation can be transferred to the clinical setting, but little is known about students’ skill performance on real patients after simulation-based learning. The literature shows that newly qualified nurses lack proficiency in skill performance, implying that transfer of learning is challenging. The aim is to explore practical skill transfer from skill centre to clinical setting. Method: A qualitative descriptive observational study of five undergraduate nursing students practicing peripheral venous cannulation (PVC) in the skills centre and clinical setting. Performances were compared using content analysis. Findings: There were similarities and differences in the students’ performance accuracy in the skills centre and the clinical setting. Many steps were performed correctly, though some were performed incorrectly, and several were not performed or not relevant to perform in either setting. Practicing on a mannequin and on actual patients gave different learning opportunities. Practicing on a mannequin gave the students the opportunity to perform most of the PVC steps even if the vein was missed. When students missed the vein on real patients, they had to terminate the attempt, with no opportunity to perform subsequent steps of the skill. Conclusion: Low-fidelity simulation was found both to be effective, as it provided familiarity with equipment used in the clinical setting, and inadequate due to lacking opportunity to discern differences encountered in the clinical setting. The simulation must be improved to ensure that students learn what is needed for safe practice on real patients in the clinical setting.read more

Nursing students' perceptions of high- and low fidelity simulation used as learning methods.
TL;DR: The results showed that the nursing students reported satisfaction with the implementation of the scenarios regardless of the simulation methods used, and indicated that simulation with various degrees of fidelity could be used in nursing education.

Tensions in learning professional identities - nursing students' narratives and participation in practical skills during their clinical practice: an ethnographic study.
TL;DR: This article explored how nursing students describe, and use, their prior experiences related to practical skills during their clinical practice and revealed different ways in which students navigated tensions related to power differentials.
A concept analysis of simulation as a learning strategy
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed understanding and defined the concept of simulated learning as a strategy used in the education of undergraduate nursing students and identified antecedents, critical attributes and consequences as a basis to stimulate further research, development and understanding.

Acts of meaning
TL;DR: Jerome Bruner argues that the cognitive revolution has led psychology away from the deeper objective of understanding mind as a creator of meanings, and only by breaking out of the limitations imposed by a computational model of mind can be grasped.

Whatever happened to qualitative description
TL;DR: The general view of descriptive research as a lower level form of inquiry has influenced researchers conducting qualitative research to claim methods they are really not using and not to claim the method they are using: namely, qualitative description.

The Process of Education
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors advocate and illustrate the efficacy of informal education and show that children and older students can and do learn within the contexts of tasks and questions that are meaningful to them.
