Effectiveness of Simulation-Based, Peer Learning Intervention in Continuing Nursing Education: An Explorative Study.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundDespite the vast research by nursing professionals on various methods of nursing education, little research has been conducted exploring the efficacy of peer learning as a teaching-learning tool amongst registered nurses. Hence, this study was conducted among in-service nursing officers to evaluate the usefulness of simulation-based peer learning sessions as an educational tool for capacity building. MATERIAL AND
methodsUsing a pre-test and post-test design, the study was conducted among 150 in-service nurses at a tertiary care hospital. Five structured simulation-based, peer learning modules were designed. The nurses were divided into five groups using random and purposive sampling. Each group attended one session of the peer learning module on advanced nursing care by simulated clinical and nursing care 'demonstrate, observe, assist, and perform' (DOAP) activity. Pre-test, post-test, and retention tests (after two months) were conducted, and the results were compared.
resultsThere was a significant increase in mean knowledge (p-value < 0.05) in the post-test after all five sessions, which shows the effectiveness of such peer learning sessions in improving the baseline. There was a decline in mean scores in the retention test compared to that of the post-test, which was statistically significant in only the group of learners participating in the first session.
conclusionThe study provides substantial evidence that simulation-based peer learning is an effective tool for continuing nursing education, and it can be used as a valuable tool to reduce the documented theory-practice gap.
