AI Article Synopsis

  • The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of an educational tour on master's nursing students by integrating experiential learning into their curriculum.
  • Students rated their satisfaction, knowledge gained, and the tour's relevance highly, alongside expressing insights on national pride, socio-political influences, funding, and personal growth.
  • Conclusions highlight that the tour enhanced understanding of the historical context of healthcare in a diverse setting, reinforcing the value of hands-on educational experiences.

Article Abstract

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the incorporation of an educational tour into the curriculum for master's nursing students.

Background: Experiential learning is an educational approach that emphasizes hands-on experiences outside the classroom. In a two-kilometer radius in Jerusalem are historical health institutions, established beginning in the 1830s through the British Mandate, from which much can be learned about the state of public health then and how it shaped modern institutions.

Design: This was a cross-sectional study.

Methods: This study utilized the feedback received by students through an evaluation survey sent out after the tour. The survey had questions on overall satisfaction, how the tour contributed to their knowledge, and the appropriateness of the tour as part of the course. Additionally, students were asked if the tour added to their experience and how in an open-ended question.

Results: High scores were given for overall satisfaction, contribution to knowledge and the appropriateness of the tour. Additionally, four points were raised in the open-ended question: national pride in healthcare leadership, socio-political aspects and conflicts, the role of funding, and personal inspiration and professional development.

Conclusions: The tour evaluation emphasized the advantages of experiential learning, enabling a deep understanding of the healthcare system's historical development in a multicultural city, as well as lessons for the future.

Synergistic drug combination screening is a promising strategy in drug discovery, but it involves navigating a costly and complex search space. While AI, particularly deep learning, has advanced synergy predictions, its effectiveness is limited by the low occurrence of synergistic drug pairs. Active learning, which integrates experimental testing into the learning process, has been proposed to address this challenge.
