Effects of Simulation on Nursing students' Knowledge and Learning Related to Measles Vaccine and Vaccine Hesitancy: A Mixed Method Study.

Vaccine hesitancy is a persistent, global public health concern that community health nurses are well-positioned to manage. Simulations involving standardized patients are effective experiential learning on managing vaccine hesitancy for other allied health disciplines. A pretest-posttest design, with a mixed-methods, one-group, quasi-experimental approach, was used to examine the effectiveness of a simulation on nursing students' knowledge of measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine hesitancy, as well as their attitudes toward the intervention.

Advancing nursing education through wearable electronic devices: A scoping review.

Aim: To examine the incorporation of wearable electronic devices in the education of undergraduate nursing students.

Background: The advancement of technology has influenced nursing education and will continue to do so in the future. Wearable technologies are electronic devices that can be worn as an accessory and expand the possibilities in nursing education with increased engagement in the learning process.

A Virtual, Simulated Code White for Undergraduate Nursing Students.

Background: Nurses and nursing students are increasingly vulnerable to workplace violence, both verbal and physical, as health care settings and clients cope with unprecedented challenges including the COVID-19 pandemic. Concurrently, clinical learning opportunities for nursing students have been curtailed by public health restrictions and limited capacity. While virtual simulations have been promoted as an alternative to clinical hours, their effectiveness as an educational intervention on workplace violence has yet to be assessed.

Automated essay scoring (AES) of constructed responses in nursing examinations: An evaluation.

Nursing students' higher-level thinking skills are ideally assessed through constructed-response items. At the baccalaureate level in North America, however, this exam format has largely fallen into disuse owing to the labor-intensive process of scoring written exam papers. The authors sought to determine if automated essay scoring (AES) would be an efficient and reliable alternative to human scoring.

Soft tissue laser in orthodontics.

Today a lot of minor cosmetic surgery operations on the gingiva can easily be carried out directly by the orthodontist with a small quantity of topical anaesthetic and the use of a soft tissue laser.
