Background: Endoscopic surgeons rely on visual feedback to control their movements but lack stereopsis, an important depth cue. Previous three-dimensional (3D) systems alternated images on a two-dimensional (2D) screen, which was uncomfortable for surgeons. A second-generation 3D system provides continuous stereoscopic images on a monitor suspended at arm's length. We studied its effect on the laparoscopic precision of novices and experienced surgeons.
Methods: Experienced laparoscopic surgeons (n = 12) and novices (n = 16) performed a total of 672 tasks in 2D, 3D, and under direct vision. Precision was assessed using the Imperial College Surgical Assessment Device (ICSAD), which generates objective scores of performance by analyzing the movements of surgical instruments.
Results: We found that 2D endoscopic vision impaired performance by 35-100% when compared with direct vision, whereas 3D reduced this endoscopic handicap by 41-53% in novices and experienced surgeons (p < 0.03). No side effects were reported with the new 3D system. Even in 2D, novices performed better with an image at arm's length (p < 0. 03).
Conclusions: Second-generation 3D significantly improved the laparoscopic precision of novices and experienced surgeons, without the side effects reported from previous systems. This technology is expected to improve the ease and safety of laparoscopic surgery.

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate how facilitators approach and use nursing students' mistakes in simulation-based training as learning resources in the simulation debriefing phase. Facilitators are responsible for raising students' awareness of their performances during the debriefing and facilitating reflections on their performances, including satisfactory behaviours and performance gaps. Research on facilitators' work during debriefing has highlighted various challenges, such as providing a safe and constructive climate among novice students while simultaneously teaching them the correct procedures, methods, and knowledge of caring practices to become professional nurses.

Background: Promoting the success and retention of novice nursing students requires a better understanding of how self-regulated and strategic learning approaches impact academic performance.
Purpose: The purpose of this correlational study was to determine if there was a predictive relationship between the results of a self-regulated learning assessment and final grades in a foundational nursing course.
Methods: The Learning and Study Strategies Inventory (LASSI) was used to collect data from a convenience sample of 75 students enrolled in an entry-level nursing course across 4 prelicensure programs.

Background/purpose: The increasing importance of computer assisted implant surgery (CAIS) in the practice of implant dentistry calls for adequate education and training of clinicians. However, limited evidence exists to support optimal educational strategies and best practices. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of distributed training with dynamic CAIS (d-CAIS) on the precision of freehand implant placement by inexperienced operators.
