Navigating professional identities: nursing faculty as embedded simulation participants in medical student simulations.

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
backgroundNursing trained faculty often work as embedded simulated participants (ESPs) in interprofessional simulations. Blending and switching their professional identities as educators, nurses, and role players in ESP roles can be challenging. How they balance tensions in their role portrayal is poorly understood. New and experienced faculty may benefit from clearer guidance about how to approach this task.
methodsUsing a descriptive phenomenological approach, we explored the experience of nurses working as ESPs in a medical student simulation-based education program. We were sensitised by Dace's "blended boundaries" model of professional identity for simulation educators. We performed 9 semi-structured interviews with nurses who work as ESPs in our simulation program and undertook a thematic analysis of the transcribed data employing Braun and Clarke's (2006) six phase approach.
resultsWe identified five themes: (1) role complexity, (2) influences and tensions in role portrayal, (3) judgement and flexibility, (4) perceived interprofessional outcomes, and (5) personal and professional impacts. DISCUSSION: Role portrayal of ESP nurses, by nurses, in interprofessional simulations is a complex and nuanced task. Carefully planned and reflected upon role portrayal offers powerful opportunities for medical students to gain a deeper understanding of interprofessional healthcare teamwork and the unique role of nurses in those teams. Thoughtful role portrayal supports highly authentic scenario delivery and clinical learning outcomes and can have positive professional impacts for the nurses undertaking this role. We suggest simulation programs should be highly intentional when recruiting, training, and supporting nurses to work as faculty in interprofessional simulations.
