Abstract
Abstract
Background
Learning clinical skills is one of the most important responsibilities of medical students, especially midwives and nurses. The outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic has created a challenge in teaching clinical skills and at the same time movement towards online training such as using immersive educational technologies (IET). The primary objective of this study is to determine whether IET compared to non-IET are effective in clinical skills among nursing and midwifery students during COVID-19.
Methods
Health professions including nursing & midwifery students are populations of this study. We will include randomized clinical trials or controlled trials that investigate the effectiveness of immersive educational technologies on clinical skills among nursing and midwifery students during COVID-19. Traditional clinical education learning methods, face to face (didactic) learning, classroom learning, in-person clinical instruction, in-person clinical attachments, multimedia, games, e-books and so on are comparators. The primary outcome of this study is measuring clinical skill performance among Nursing & midwifery students and comparing the efficacy of immersive educational technologies (IET) and non-immersive ones during covid-19. Clinical skills should have been measured objectively with clinical examination, or a reliable and valid checklist for measuring clinical skills or clinical competence. Randomized clinical trials or controlled trials will be eligible to include in the review.
Discussion
Given the increasing growth of immersive educational technologies, the information gathered from this study can be used by health decision makers to pay attention to educational methods based on their effectiveness and efficiency, especially in the time of crisis.
