Introduction: The academic electronic medical record (AEMR) system is applied with the expectation that nursing students will be able to attain competence in healthcare decision-making and nursing informatics competencies. However, there is insufficient evidence regarding the advantage of applying mobile devices to clinical practicum.
Objectives: This study aimed to examine the effect of an experiment that introduced a mobile AEMR application for undergraduate nursing students in their practicum.
Methods: A quasi-experimental design was used. The subjects were 75 third-year nursing students enrolled in clinical practicum and were divided into an experimental (practicum with AEMR) and a control (conventional practicum) group. Nursing informatics competencies, critical thinking disposition, and satisfaction with clinical practicum were measured before and after the clinical practicum for each group. The usability of the AEMR application was also examined for the experimental group after the experiment.
Results: After the experiment, the experimental group showed a significant increase in the informatics knowledge domain of nursing informatics competencies in the post-test. The difference in critical thinking between the experimental and control groups was not statistically significant. Regarding satisfaction with the clinical practicum, the experimental group exhibited a significantly higher level of satisfaction in "preparation of a diagnostic test or laboratory test and understanding of the results" and "nursing intervention and documentation" than the control group. Students who participated in the practicum using the AEMR application considered it useful.
Conclusions: The AEMR application was an effective educational method for practicing the immediate documentation of students' observations and interventions and was available at the patients' bedsides. To improve critical thinking, it is necessary to apply a variety of approaches when solving clinical problems.

Article Synopsis
- Emergency medicine residents faced challenges with receiving entrustable professional activity (EPA) assessments during their pediatric rotation due to untrained preceptors.
- A study was conducted involving faculty members to evaluate the effectiveness of a training workshop focused on supervising EPAs.
- Post-training results indicated an increase in EPA assessments for residents, suggesting that faculty development can enhance assessment opportunities in clinical rotations.

Introduction: Clinical nursing preceptors (CNPs) teach nursing skills to students in real medical scenarios and develop their professionalism. The adequacy of CNPs' teaching competencies affects the effectiveness of student learning, so it is crucial to seek the best evidence for teaching competency interventions. This report describes a protocol for a systematic review to identify and analyse interventions to enhance the teaching competencies of CNPs.

Background: Outpatient training is crucial for the standardized residency training of General Practitioners (GPs) in China. However, there is concern that General Practice (GP) preceptors may lack the willingness and capacities to teach residents in outpatient settings. Understanding how GP preceptors practice routine outpatient training and their views is essential for designing strategies; however, this issue has not been well studied.
