The experiences of pre-licensure or pre-registration health professional students and their educators in working with intra-professional teams: a systematic review of qualitative evidence protocol.

REVIEW QUESTION / OBJECTIVE The aim of this review is to identify the experiences of pre-licensure or pre-registration health professional students and their educators of intra-professional teams. The objectives of this review are: 1. To identify the experiences of pre-licensure or pre-registration health professional students about learning how to work in intra-professional teams. 2. To identify the experiences of health professional educators about teaching intra-professional collaboration across categorical and/or regulatory boundaries of professional groups. The specific question for this review is: What are the experiences of health professional students and educators learning to work in intra-professional teams? INCLUSION CRITERIA Types of participants This review will consider studies that investigate pre-licensure health professional students' and educators’ experiences of intra-professional teams. We will define pre-licensure health professional students as those students enrolled in a health-related diploma or degree program leading to the writing of a licensure or registration exam prior to engaging in practice (i.e. regulated health care provider programs). Health related programs that will be included are those that have multiple points of entry-to-practice under one disciplinary domain. This could include (but will not be limited to) disciplines such as dentistry, nursing, medicine, occupational therapy, pharmacy, physiotherapy or social work. Thus, we will consider studies that include experiences of students and educators working in various disciplinary domains (such as dentistry, medicine, nursing, occupational therapy pharmacy or physiotherapy) focusing on regulated health professions which have more than one point of entry into practice for their students (e.g. baccalaureate degree or diploma).

The experience and cessation needs of Indigenous women who smoke during pregnancy: a systematic review of qualitative evidence protocol.

Review objective and questions The aim of conducting this review is to identify and synthesize the best available evidence to address two questions: (1) what is the experience of smoking during pregnancy for Indigenous women? and (2) what are the smoking cessation needs of Indigenous women who smoke during pregnancy? Inclusion criteria Type of participants This review will consist of studies that include Indigenous women who smoke or smoked during pregnancy and who live in communities worldwide. The studies may be of Indigenous women solely or may include non-Indigenous women also, as long as data can be extracted on the Indigenous sample. The commonly accepted understanding of the concept Indigenous used by the United Nations will be applied to identify studies conducted on the participants of interest. Indigenous peoples are found in 70 countries from the Arctic to the South Pacific, and given the diversity of the peoples, a single official definition is not appropriate. However, there are commonly accepted criteria that are used to determine who Indigenous peoples are. The main criterion is self-identification as Indigenous at the individual level and acceptance by the Indigenous group as one of its members. Other criteria are that Indigenous peoples are peoples who: “Demonstrate historical continuity with pre-colonial and/or pre-settler societies; Have strong link to territories and surrounding natural resources; Have distinct social, economic or political systems; Maintain distinct language, cultures and beliefs; Form non-dominant groups of society; Resolve to maintain and reproduce their ancestral environments and systems as distinctive truncated at 250 WORDS

Student and educator experiences of maternal-child simulation-based learning: a systematic review of qualitative evidence protocol.

Review question/objective The overall aim of this systematic review is to identify the appropriateness and meaningfulness of maternal-child simulation-based learning for undergraduate or pre-registration nursing students in educational settings to inform curriculum decision-making. 1. What are the experiences of nursing or health professional students participating in undergraduate or pre-licensure maternal-child simulation-based learning in educational settings? 2. What are the experiences of educators participating in undergraduate or pre-licensure maternal-child simulation-based learning in educational settings? 3. What teaching and learning practices in maternal-child simulation-based learning are considered appropriate and meaningful by students and educators? Inclusion criteria Types of participants Participants will include undergraduate or pre-registration or pre-licensure nursing or midwifery or health professional students and educators participating in maternal-child simulation-based learning. Midwifery or undergraduate medical students are included as participants as their clinical learning experiences are similar to undergraduate nursing students. However students in graduate, postgraduate, or specialty education programs and practising nurses or other health care professionals (continuing education) will be excluded from this review because the purpose is to identify the implications for undergraduate or pre-registration nursing programs. Undergraduate or pre-registration education differs from continuing professional education as students are more likely to be learning this way of thinking or clinical reasoning for the first time. The pedagogical approaches used also differ from continuing professional development. Phenomena of interest This review will consider studies that investigate simulation-based learning experiences that are relevant to maternal-child nursing. Our primary interest in this review is in preparing nursing students for senior level maternal-child practice placements and transition to working as an Registered Nurse. However, we will include all qualitative studies and case reports of simulation-based learning that involve pre-registration nursing or health professional students. Context The purpose of this review is to identify the implications of this body of knowledge for undergraduate or pre-registration nursing programs in Canada This review will include qualitative research that may be applicable to the Canadian context for nursing education, such as reports from North America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand.
