Abstract

Objective

To identify active distance learning methodologies implemented in undergraduate nursing degree programs and evaluate their impact on student learning.

Design

Systematic literature review.

Review Methods

A systematic review was conducted between December 2023 and January 2024, consulting databases PubMed, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, and Scopus according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses; quality assessment was conducted using the JBI framework and certainty of evidence using the Oxford Centre Evidence Based Medicine framework.

Results

Out of 2,693 records analyzed, 12 articles were included in the review. The active teaching methodologies applied to distance education were Information and Communication Technology, Simulation-Based Learning, Problem-Based Learning and Case-Based Learning, and Critical Thinking approach. Retrieved evidence showed positive outcomes in student's learning, satisfaction, collaboration, and motivation. Challenges in content delivery were also identified for distance education due to difficulties accessing learning platforms and reduced attention compared to face-to-face teaching.

Conclusions

Active distance learning methodologies represent a possible pedagogical innovation in nursing education. Current evidence does not support the exclusive use of active distance learning methodologies, but their integration with traditional learning methodologies.

护理本科教育中远程主动教学法的功效：系统性综述

目的确定本科护理学位课程实施的主动远程学习方法，并评估其对学生学习的影响。系统文献综述。在2023年12月至2024年1月期间，根据系统评价和meta分析的首选报告项目，查阅PubMed、Cochrane Library、CINAHL和Scopus数据库进行系统评价；使用JBI框架进行质量评估，使用牛津中心循证医学框架进行证据确定性评估。结果在分析的2693篇文献中，有12篇文献被纳入综述。应用于远程教育的教学方法主要有信息与通信技术、基于模拟的学习、基于问题和案例的学习以及批判性思维方法。检索到的证据表明，在学生的学习、满意度、合作和动机方面取得了积极的成果。远程教育还面临内容交付方面的挑战，因为与面对面教学相比，远程教育难以访问学习平台，而且注意力不足。结论主动远程学习方法是护理教育教学创新的一种可能。目前的证据并不支持单独使用主动远程学习方法，而是支持将其与传统学习方法相结合。
