Developing intersubjectivity and teamwork skills through learning circles on clinical placement: A mixed methods study.

Aim: To determine the efficacy of learning circles on developing intersubjectivity and teamwork skills and determine barriers to and facilitators of, learning circles as a learning tool.

Background: Teamwork skills are vital for safe, effective nursing care and are dependent on individual team members' shared understandings or intersubjectivity. Work-based learning circles offer a potential pedagogic strategy to promote teamwork.

The "five senses of success" in nursing students: Assessing first-year support engagement.

Objectives: This study aimed to identify School and University support services available and accessed by nursing students transitioning into a university environment as many struggle to adjust to competing demands of personal commitments and expectations at university.

Methods: A mixed methods design was used, based on activity theory and Lizzio's Five Senses of Success frameworks as exploratory guides. This study was conducted amongst the first year cohort at one campus of the Bachelor of Nursing (BN) program in Queensland, Australia.

Learning through structured peer discussion: An observational study.

Background: Clinical experiences are an essential foundation of nursing education. While there have been many significant investigations into models of clinical education and student learning, how students 'make sense' of their experiences is less well investigated. Senior nursing staff in a tertiary health service partnered with nurse researchers to explore how students can learn more about practice through structured discussions with peers to promote shared understandings.

Redesigning clinical education for nursing students and newly qualified nurses: A quality improvement study.

Rising numbers of students are required to address the forecast nursing shortage. Health services are challenged to release experienced nursing staff to become supervisors in clinical supervision models and preceptorship models require significant investment in registered nurse education for effectiveness. One health service in southeast Queensland, Australia, developed an innovative clinical education model that draws upon the strengths of supervision and preceptor models, and is consistent with the Dedicated Education Unit model, without the dedicated university and prescribed attendance requirements.

Simulation videos presented in a blended learning platform to improve Australian nursing students' knowledge of family assessment.

The provision of simulation to enhance learning is becoming common practice as clinical placement becomes harder to secure within Bachelor of Nursing programs. The use of simulation videos within a blended learning platform enables students to view best practice and provides relevant links between theory and practice. Four simulation videos depicting family assessment viewed by a cohort of Australian undergraduate nursing students were evaluated.

Investigation of blended learning video resources to teach health students clinical skills: An integrative review.

Objectives: The aim of this review is to inform future educational strategies by synthesising research related to blended learning resources using simulation videos to teach clinical skills for health students.

Design: An integrative review methodology was used to allow for the combination of diverse research methods to better understand the research topic. This review was guided by the framework described by Whittemore and Knafl (2005), DATA SOURCES: Systematic search of the following databases was conducted in consultation with a librarian using the following databases: SCOPUS, MEDLINE, COCHRANE, PsycINFO databases.
