This study tested a new way to teach nursing students how to perform and teach breathing and coughing exercises, which are important for patients with lung diseases. Researchers compared an interactive 'Fishbowl' teaching method, where students learn by watching and discussing, t…

This study tested whether a mixed reality simulation could help anesthesiology trainees better understand and feel empathy for their patients. 81 trainees from Stanford hospitals used the simulation and then filled out surveys to measure any changes in their empathy levels. The g…

This study looked at whether a student's natural ability to visualize and mentally rotate 3D objects affects how well they learn hands-on physiotherapy skills. Researchers tested 118 students on their spatial thinking and compared it to their performance in practical tasks and ex…

This study tested two different training methods to help midwifery students improve their family planning counseling skills and their ability to create educational materials. Researchers compared students who practiced with trained actors (standardized patients) or with fellow st…
