Clinical nurse education is a major part of all undergraduate programs preparing nurses for competent professional practice. While research mostly evaluated specific clinical education models, few studies compared different type of models and limited attention has been given to the effect on student learning outcomes. This systematic review aimed to examine the effectiveness of clinical education models for undergraduate nursing programs. This systematic review utilised the Joanna Briggs Institute systematic review approach (JBI, 2014). A web-based literature search was conducted to identify research studies published from 2002 to 2015 using a three-step search strategy. All selected papers were assessed by at least two independent reviewers for inclusion criteria, methodological validity, and data extraction in the review. This systematic review included nine studies including two pre-post-test studies with a control group totalling 1893 participants including 1286 nursing students. The evidence regarding the effectiveness of clinical education models for undergraduate nursing programs is notably weak; however this review found limited evidence that the clinical facilitator model is preferable to the preceptor model and the Clinical Education Unit (CEU) model provided greater engagement and an enhanced learning environment compared with the standard facilitation model.

Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the performance and evolution of Chat Generative Pre-Trained Transformer (ChatGPT; OpenAI) as a resource for shoulder and elbow surgery information by assessing its accuracy on the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons shoulder-elbow self-assessment questions. We hypothesized that both ChatGPT models would demonstrate proficiency and that there would be significant improvement with progressive iterations.

Materials And Methods: A total of 200 questions were selected from the 2019 and 2021 American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons shoulder-elbow self-assessment questions.

Background: Palliative Care, Geriatrics and Emergency physicians are exposed to death, terminally ill patients and distress of patients and their families. As physicians bear witness to patients' suffering, they are vulnerable to the costs of caring-the emotional distress associated with providing compassionate and empathetic care to patients. If left unattended, this may culminate in burnout and compromise professional identity.

Background: Psoriasis is an inflammatory disease primarily treated through molecular-targeted therapies. However, emerging evidence suggests that dietary interventions may also play a role in managing inflammation associated with this condition. The Mediterranean diet (MedDiet), prevalent in southern European countries, has been widely recognized for its ability to reduce cardiovascular mortality, largely due to its anti-inflammatory properties.
