Background: With the aim of integrating simulation training into the training of perfusionists, we examined whether the participants were able to transfer a specific learning content to the same and different situations and assessed their feedback on the simulation training. Eye-tracking was tested as a measure and supplemented by additional measures.
Methods: A 2 × 2 mixed design was used, with test time (pre- and post-test) and training group (same and different content training) as factors. In the pre- and post-test, the participant had to handle a critical situation on the cardiopulmonary bypass, namely, a drop in arterial partial oxygen pressure. Between the two test times, the participant practised under guidance the handling of either the same critical situation (Group 1) or a different one, that is, impaired venous return (Group 2). Dependent measures were fixations of the eyes on specific areas of interest on the heart-lung machine, measures of latency and subjective assessments. Moreover, participants gave feedback on the simulation training.
Results: Fixation analyses showed that the training led to an increased gaze on areas of interest relevant to the drop in arterial partial oxygen pressure in both groups, with a significant increase only for Group 1. The surveys revealed a great interest in the integration of simulation training into education.
Conclusion: In combination with other measures, eye-tracking is suitable for the evaluation of simulation training. Due to the positive training effects and positive participant feedback, the integration of simulation into the training of perfusionists is advocated. Concerning transfer of learning content, more research is needed.

Background: With the increasing availability and use of digital tools such as virtual reality in medical education, there is a need to evaluate their impact on clinical performance and decision-making among healthcare professionals. The Trauma SimVR study is investigating the efficacy of virtual reality training in the context of traumatic in-hospital cardiac arrest.

Introduction: Recent health crises, like COVID-19, have increased the need for nurses with public health competencies, but students lack knowledge and are unconvinced of the importance of the field.
Methods: Pre-licensure nursing students (n = 341) engaged with a public health simulation-infused program (PHSIP) that scaffolded throughout the curriculum. Public health knowledge was tested pre- and post-simulation-based education (SBE), and the simulation effectiveness tool-modified (SET-M) was used to evaluate Learners' perception of the SBE experience.

As part of simulation-based learning, it is well known that debriefing plays a crucial role; ineffective debriefing can lead to a reiteration of errors in decision-making and a poor understanding of one's limitations, compromising the learner's psychological safety and making future simulated learning experiences less effective. In Italy, although simulation has been used in nursing education for more than 20 years, there is a general lack of data regarding the elements of debriefing. An exploratory, cross-sectional, multicenter nationwide study was conducted to identify current debriefing practices in Italian simulation-based nursing education.

This study designs and develops a wearable exoskeleton piano assistance system for individuals recovering from neurological injuries, aiming to help users regain the ability to perform complex tasks such as playing the piano. While soft robotic exoskeletons have proven effective in rehabilitation therapy and daily activity assistance, challenges remain in performing highly dexterous tasks due to structural complexity and insufficient motion accuracy. To address these issues, we developed a modular division method based on multi-domain mapping and a top-down process model.

Many planning and decision activities in logistics and supply chain management are based on forecasts of multiple time dependent factors. Therefore, the quality of planning depends on the quality of the forecasts. We compare different state-of-the-art forecasting methods in terms of forecasting performance.
