Background: Simulation-Based Learning is beneficial to nursing education. Nevertheless, recent studies have shown a side effect of being overwhelmed by repeated exposures to simulation. Thus, how many times simulation scenarios should be provided to students remains a question for nursing faculty.
Objectives: The objectives of this study were to (1) explore the changes in nursing students' perceived competence, self-efficacy, and learning satisfaction after repeated exposures to simulations, and (2) determine the acceptable frequency of SBL in the 'Integrated Care in Emergency and Critical Care' course.
Design: A one-group repeated measurement experimental design with self-administered questionnaires in a convenient sample of senior nursing undergraduate students was used.
Settings: Department of Nursing at a nonprofit university in southern Taiwan.
Participants: Seventy-nine out of 84 senior nursing students who enrolled in the course in 2019 volunteered to complete all measurements.
Methods: After taking the baseline measurements (T0), students were exposed to 75-min simulation scenarios from Time 1 (T1) to Time 3 (T3) three weeks apart throughout the semester. Students' nursing competence, self-efficacy, and learning satisfaction were measured immediately after each exposure. Descriptive statistics, t-test and repeated measurement analysis of variance were used for data analysis.
Results: There were statistically significant improvements from T0 to T3 (p < .001) in nursing competence, self-efficacy, and learning satisfaction scores after repeated exposures to simulation. When comparing scores from T1 to T2 and from T2 to T3, there was no significant difference.
Conclusion: Simulation based learning is effective in improving nursing students' perceived competence, self-efficacy, and learning satisfaction. While the primary changes occur at the first simulation effort, it is the accumulated multiple exposure experiences collectively improve students' learning outcomes. Multiple instructional strategies besides simulation are recommended to maintain nursing students' learning interests to achieve optimal learning outcomes of the course across a semester.

Effect of two teaching methods on nursing students' acquisition of patient-centered communication competence in older people care: a cluster randomized trial.

Introduction: Patient-centered communication is an essential skill in nursing, particularly in the care of older adult patients. However, generation Z nursing students, who primarily communicate through digital platforms, face unique challenges in adapting to traditional face-to-face communication with older adults. As a result, there is a need for teaching methods that align with this generation's learning style to enhance their communication skills.

Background: There is compelling evidence that the incidence of melanoma in cigarette smokers is substantially lower than in non-smokers. However, the risks of both recurrence and death appear to be higher in smokers if melanoma does develop. The magnitude of these increased risks is poorly documented.

Teacher well-being has increasingly become a prominent research topic due to its significant impact on various teacher and student outcomes. This focus is particularly crucial for early career teachers, who often encounter numerous challenges at the beginning of their careers, leading to elevated levels of stress and burnout. Our study aimed to examine the relationship between social and emotional competencies and burnout of early career teachers and the potential mediating role of teacher self-efficacy in this relationship.

Background: Disparities in sexually transmitted infections (STI) including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) among sexual minority boys and young men are substantial. Effective HIV and STI prevention programs that include access to pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) medication do not consistently include younger sexual minority men. Text-messaging programs for HIV prevention have been associated with increases in HIV testing among sexual minority adolescent boys, but these programs have not incorporated a focus on PrEP or STIs beyond HIV.

Background: Drug resistance and immune escape continue to contribute to poor prognosis in AML. Increasing evidence suggests that exosomes play a crucial role in AML immune microenvironment.
Methods: Sanger sequencing, RNase R and fluorescence in situ hybridization were performed to confirm the existence of circ_0006896.
