A recent study conducted at the University of Dundee explored student perceptions of a new educational tool called "dissection handover diaries" in an undergraduate anatomy course. The diaries were designed to encourage reflection and engagement with the material covered in dissection sessions. The study found that students perceived the diaries to be beneficial for their learning, as they facilitated reflection, consolidation of knowledge, clinical application, and engagement. This research highlights the importance of incorporating student feedback and preferences into medical education practices. [Extracted from the article]

A recent study conducted by researchers at Fatima College of Health Sciences in Ajman, United Arab Emirates, highlights the unmet needs of children with chronic life-limiting illnesses and emphasizes the importance of palliative care nursing. The researchers argue that a personalized and family-centered approach to care is necessary to enhance the quality of life for these children and their families. They suggest integrating palliative care education into the nursing curriculum to empower nurses with continuous education on palliative care and improve access to pediatric palliative care services. The study concludes that incorporating palliative care into the ongoing care of children with chronic suffering can improve the quality of life for all involved. [Extracted from the article]

Researchers from the National Taiwan University of Science and Technology have developed a digital gamified learning activity for relationship education that incorporates conceptual and reflective scaffolding. The study compared the learning achievement, motivation, anxiety, and flow of participants using this gamification design with those using traditional distance learning methods. The results showed that learners using the gamified approach had higher motivation and flow, as well as lower anxiety, compared to the control group. The study also found that the addition of reflective scaffolding facilitated cognitive thinking and knowledge refinement. [Extracted from the article]

A study conducted by researchers from Monash University Malaysia examined the effectiveness of an online reflective workshop in increasing comfort in sexual health communication among medical students. The study found that both the sexual health workshop and the cultural competence workshop increased subjective comfort and observed comfort in discussing sexual health. However, the sexual health workshop was more effective in reducing verbal avoidance behaviors and promoting awareness of the value of effective communication about sex. The researchers concluded that brief reflective workshops focusing on comfort in communication can be a valuable supplement to the medical school curriculum. [Extracted from the article]

A recent study conducted by researchers at Charles Sturt University explored the experiences of nurses who participated in either a face-to-face or web-based simulation educational program on patient deterioration. The study found that nurses who were less "tech-savvy" appreciated the flexibility of web-based learning, which increased their confidence. Face-to-face students valued self-reflection through performance evaluation and demonstrated adaptability. Both interventions improved clinical practice by enhancing documentation, replies, confidence, and competence. The study emphasized the importance of adaptability and reflective learning for healthcare professionals and called for further exploration of specific topics to improve practice and early detection of patient deterioration.
