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. A non-probability sample of all directors of the Italian Bachelor school of Nursing and the directors of simulation centers on Italian national territory was surveyed with an online questionnaire. Fifty-four nursing degree programs and 11 simulation centers participated in the survey. Significant differences were found between debriefing practices used by simulation centers and those used by the Bachelor School of Nursing. Specifically, differences concerned the training of debriefers, the knowledge of a debriefing framework, the use of different rooms for debriefing and the time spent on this activity. There is an emerging need for a harmonization process in Italian nursing education debriefing practices that would align the current reality with the best practices of the literature.

Coping after the COVID-19 pandemic: nurses' learning intent and implications for the workforce and education.

Br J Nurs

January 2025

Professor, Department of Nursing, Beaver College of Health Sciences, Appalachian State University, Boone, North Carolina, USA.

Background/aim: Addressing the critical global shortage of nurses requires an understanding of how a global pandemic reshaped nurses' motivations and intentions toward education. This study aimed to describe COVID-19's impact on nurses' intent to pursue additional education.

Method: This descriptive study, based in North Carolina in the USA, used content analysis with an inductive approach to examine the responses of nurses to one open-ended question in a large quantitative workforce survey: how has COVID-19 influenced your plans for future education? Responses were coded with counts and organised into themes and subthemes.

A randomized control trial to compare Quiet Eye training efficacy to traditional technical training with undergraduate student nurses' peripheral intravenous cannulation performance: a protocol.

Department of Psychology, Faculty of Arts, University of Calgary, Alberta, Canada; Community Health Sciences, Faculty of Medicine, University of Calgary, Alberta, Canada; Ward of the 21st Century, Cumming School of Medicine, University of Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

Introduction: Peripheral intravenous cannulation (PIVC) is a common and complex procedure with low first-attempt success rates, causing patient suffering and increased healthcare costs. Quiet Eye (QE) training, a gaze-focused approach, has shown promise in improving procedural PIVC skills. We will examine the effectiveness of traditional technical training (TT) and QE training (QET) on student nurse PIVC performance.

Current nursing shortages, particularly in complex practice or specialty areas, coupled with high attrition rates of both seasoned and new graduate nurses, have required nursing leaders to consider creative approaches to recruit, prepare and retain nurses in specialty areas. This article describes a collaborative partnership between post-secondary institutions and health authorities in one province to address the need to prepare and retain nurses in high-priority specialized areas, such as the intensive care unit or the emergency department. This partnership allows for a proactive connection that leverages the strengths and resources of both healthcare and educational institutions.
