Nursing students' perceived stress, self-efficacy, control and evaluation of a course in systematic clinical observation, physical assessment and decision-making: An observational study in Norway.

Aim: Simulation-based nursing education interventions have a strong educational effect on psychomotoric skills, but students may experience physiological stress and anxiety during simulation. The aims of this study were to explore (1) nursing students' perceived stress, self-efficacy, control and evaluation before and after simulation as part a structured course in physical assessment, (2) whether factors such as gender, age or previous work experience were associated with perceived stress during simulation and (3) nursing students evaluation of the course.

Design: An observational, cross-sectional study before and after simulation and a course in physical assessment.

Impact of Initial Emotional States and Self-Efficacy Changes on Nursing Students' Practical Skills Performance in Simulation-Based Education.

Training through simulation has shown to increase relevant and specific skills sets across a wide range of areas in nursing and related professions. Increasing skills has a reciprocal relation to the development of self-efficacy. A study was conducted to assess changes in the development of self-efficacy in simulation training for 2nd year nursing students.

Supervising students in a complex nursing practice- a focus group study in Norway.

Background: The supervisory role of registered nurses and intellectual disability nurses will be even more essential in the future, to support the education of competent newly graduated candidates. To our knowledge few studies have explored nursing student supervisors' perspectives on supervision across primary- and hospital healthcare services and also across nurse educational programs. The aim of the current study was to investigate supervisors' perspectives on supervising from different clinical settings, and across registered nurses' and intellectual disability nurses' clinical practice.
