The simulation centre is a key setting for the acquisition of practical skills. However, pedagogical underpinnings of skills instruction in this setting are not always well founded. This study aimed to explore student and teacher experiences with an educational intervention to enhance clinical skills learning in the first semester of nursing education. The study had an exploratory design, where qualitative data were collected in focus group interviews involving 18 students and four teachers. The participants had generally positive experiences of the intervention. The findings showed that organisation, time usage, an observer role, re-training and structured reflection enhanced systematic feedback by students. We conclude that an educational intervention based on theoretically sound learning tools and pedagogical principles improved students' skills acquisition and gave the teachers a common educational platform.

Growing up with a brother or sister with Down syndrome: Adult siblings' perceptions of their childhood relationships.
J Intellect Dev Disabil
March 2022
Department of Educational Psychology, Université de Lorraine (2LPN: Laboratoire Lorrain de Psychologie and Neurosciences de la dynamique des comportements - EA 7489).
Background: The increased life expectancy of people with Down syndrome puts pressure on parents, who are usually the main caregivers but who find caring more difficult as they get older. The quality of the support provided by brothers and sisters depends on the intra-family relationships they build when growing up.
Methods: 121 adult siblings of people with Down syndrome completed a questionnaire on their perceptions of their childhood relationships.

Parenting and Special Education and Parenting, KU Leuven, Leuven, Belgium.
Background: The feasibility and acceptability was explored of the newly-constructed Attachment Strengths and Needs Interview for parents of children with severe or profound intellectual disabilities.
Method: A partially mixed methods approach (with focus on the quantitative data) was used to clarify parents' and professionals' viewpoints regarding the acceptability of the interview through websurvey-ratings.
Results: Parents generally felt appreciated during or after the interview, were motivated to work on the proposed goals and felt the interview covered their actual needs, but were, however, more neutral on the aspects of reflection and learning.

School of Nursing and Midwifery, Western Sydney University, Hawkesbury Campus, Richmond, Australia.
Aims And Objectives: To survey the educational experience of Registered Nurses in Australia, at undergraduate, post graduate and continuing professional development levels.
Background: It has been previously demonstrated that nurses feel unprepared to care for people with intellectually disability and/or autism spectrum disorder in mainstream clinical settings. Specific undergraduate pre-registration curricula content in this domain has been identified to be low in volume, and in the absence of any studies to determine it, it has been presumed that it has diminished over time.
