Effectiveness of simulation-based peripheral intravenous catheterization training for nursing students and hospital nurses: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Peripheral intravenous catheterisation (PIVC) is a complex procedure.

Aim: This study reviewed studies evaluating the effects of different simulators in comparison with traditional methods used in PIVC training for nursing students and hospital nurses.

Design: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised (RCT) and non-randomised controlled (N-RCT) studies.

Systematic review and meta-analysis: Physical-procedural interventions used to reduce pain during intramuscular injections in adults.

Aims: To assess the effectiveness of physical-procedural interventions in reducing pain during intramuscular injections.

Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis.

Method: English keywords were used to search databases [MEDLINE (OVID, Ebsco), SCOPUS, Science Direct, COCHRANE and the reference lists from retrieved articles] from their inception to November 2017 and randomized and quasi-experimental trials were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria.

Evaluation of nursing students' training in medical law.

There is no co-ordinated focus on liabilities arising from nurses' medical interventions in terms of occupational, administrative, civil legal and criminal activities. However, the Turkish Criminal Code, the Turkish Medical Ethics Code of Practice, and guidelines for patients' rights offer some framework for the relevant ethical principles and responsibilities of nurses. The aim of this study was to investigate the evaluation of nursing students' training in their legal liabilities.

Nursing students' self-reported knowledge of genetics and genetic education.

Introduction: Nurses need to use genetic information in care; several areas of current need include primary care, public health, cardiovascular, geriatric and oncology nursing. Nursing faculties may be reluctant to add genetics to existing courses, let alone tackle the work of teaching an entire course in genetics.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to describe the current genetic knowledge of nursing students regarding genetics and genetic education.
