AI Article Synopsis

  • The integrative literature review focused on strategies for teaching peripheral venipuncture to nursing students, analyzing data from multiple databases and resulting in 24 relevant studies.
  • The most effective teaching methods identified included theoretical lectures, e-learning, video lessons, and demonstrations paired with hands-on practice using mannequins or haptic devices.
  • The study concluded that the best patient outcomes occurred when students learned theoretical content in a classroom before engaging in practical training with mannequins or virtual simulators.

Article Abstract

This integrative literature review identified strategies to teach peripheral venipuncture to nursing students. The following databases were searched for primary studies: Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS), PubMed, Web of Science, Education Resources Information Center (ERIC), SCOPUS, and Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL). The final sample was composed of 24 studies. The literature ranged from descriptive studies to controlled clinical trials and methodologic studies to construct products/instruments for teaching peripheral venipuncture. The most frequently identified teaching strategies were theoretical contents taught via theoretical lecture, e-learning courses, video lessons, and demonstration by specialists combined with practical exercises using a mannequin, human arms, and/or haptic devices. Despite the different methods used currently, the best patient outcomes were achieved when the student received the theoretical content in an educational setting before the practical training on a mannequin and/or a virtual simulator.
