    Abstract Peripheral intravenous cannulation and venipuncture are among the most common invasive procedures in health care and are not without risks or complications. The aim of this study was to evaluate the current training provided to nursing and midwifery undergraduate students. Student knowledge, attitude, practice, and performance regarding these procedural skills were assessed. A knowledge, attitude, and practices survey was disseminated to final year nursing and midwifery students as the first phase of this study. For the second phase of the study, nursing students were video recorded and then observed performing the skill of peripheral intravenous cannulation in a simulated environment. Thirty-eight nursing and midwifery students completed the survey, and 66 nursing students participated in the observation study. Descriptive statistics were performed. The mean knowledge score was 7.2 out of 15.0, (standard deviation [SD] = 2.4), and the mean attitude score was 10.20 out of 18.00 (SD = 4.79). Qualitative data from the survey were categorized to demonstrate specific areas of focus for improving the training. The mean performance score was 16.20 out of 28.00 (SD = 2.98). This study provides valuable input to developing and enhancing evidence-based curricula. It can help educators and supervisors, in both academic and clinical settings, identify areas where clinical performance and education could be enhanced.

    Abstract Objective: The objective of this scoping review is to examine the extent of vascular access research undertaken on the critically ill COVID-19 population.
    Introduction: Two fundamental supportive invasive interventions in the critical care environment are mechanical ventilation and intravenous therapy. Ventilation research has dominated the literature since the pandemic began; however, there has been little research on vascular access devices, despite these interventions existing almost codependently. The systematic proning of this cohort of patients increases the risk of dressing infiltration and infection. Vascular access devices, and the coagulopathic manifestations of COVID-19, place these patients at heightened risk of complications. Vascular access device insertion, care, and maintenance in the critically ill COVID-19 population must be understood to investigate whether this population is at increased risk of vascular access device complications and vessel health compromise.
    Inclusion criteria: All study designs will be eligible for inclusion in this review. The intensive care unit will be the main focus of the review. Results will be limited to adults with disease progression severe enough to require admission to critical care.
    Methods: A search of Embase, MEDLINE (Ovid), Web of Science, and PubMed will be conducted. Clinical trial data will also be sought. As recommended by JBI, a 3-step search process will be followed. Data will be extracted using a data extraction instrument based on a template from JBI. The review will follow the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) and the results will be presented in a PRISMA flow diagram. Publication dates will be filtered from 2019 to the present; only English-language results will be included.

    Abstract Background: Clinical psychomotor skills training is a core component of undergraduate nursing education. Performing technical skills competently involves the use of cognitive and motor function. The training of these technical skills is typically carried out in clinical simulation laboratories. Peripheral intravenous catheter/cannula insertion is an example of a technical skill. It is the most common invasive procedure performed in the healthcare environment. Owing to unacceptable clinical risk and complications to patients, it is imperative that practitioners performing these skills are trained effectively to provide patients with best practice and high-quality care. Technologies identified as innovative teaching methods to help train students in this skill and in the skill of venepuncture include virtual reality, hypermedia and simulators. However, little high-quality evidence exists to confirm such educational approaches are effective.
    Methods/design: This study is a single-centre, non-blinded, two-group, pre-test and post-test randomised control trial. The randomised control trial will investigate whether a formal structured self-evaluation of videoed performance (experimental group) has an impact on nursing students' peripheral intravenous cannulation knowledge, performance and confidence. The control group will also be videoed performing the skill but they will not view or self-evaluate their videoed performance. The peripheral intravenous cannulation procedures will be carried out in a clinical simulation laboratory using a task trainer. The data collection tools will be completed online using survey forms. Students will be randomised into the experimental group or into the control group using simple random sampling. The primary outcome measures the nursing students' knowledge level of the skill of peripheral intravenous cannulation insertion. Secondary outcomes evaluate procedural competence and self-reported confidence and practices in the clinical environment.
    Discussion: This randomised control trial will investigate whether this pedagogical approach, using video modelling and self-evaluation, will positively influence students' knowledge, confidence and performance in the skill of peripheral intravenous cannulation. Evaluating such teaching strategies using stringent methodologies may be impactful in influencing the training provided to healthcare practitioners.
    Trial registration: The randomised control trial detailed in this article is an educational research study and so does not fall under the ICMJE definition of a clinical trial as "any research project that prospectively assigns people or a group of people to an intervention, with or without concurrent comparison or control groups, to study the relationship between a health-related intervention and a health outcome".

    Abstract Introduction: Vascular access devices (VADs) are the most common invasive procedure performed in acute medicine and cancer patients undergo multiple invasive vascular access procedures. Our aim is to identify the type of evidence available regarding the best choice of VAD for cancer patients undergoing systemic anti-cancer therapy (SACT). In this article, the authors frame the scoping review protocol used, which will systematically report all published and unpublished literature around the use of VADs for the infusion of SACT in oncology.
    Inclusion criteria: For studies to be included, they must focus on people or populations aged 18 years or older and report on vascular access in cancer patients. The concept is the variety of VAD use in cancer and reported insertion and post-insertion complications. The context surrounds the intravenous treatment of SACT whether in a cancer centre or non-cancer setting.
    Methods: The JBI scoping review methodology framework will guide the conduct of this scoping review. Electronic databases (CINAHL, Cochrane, Medline and Embase) will be searched. Grey literature sources and the reference lists of key studies will be reviewed to identify those appropriate for inclusion. No date limits will be used in the searches and studies will be limited to the English language. Two reviewers will independently screen all titles and abstracts and full-text studies for inclusion, and a third reviewer will arbitrate disagreements. All bibliographic data, study characteristics and indicators will be collected and charted using a data extraction tool.

    Abstract Technology has become integral to our personal and professional lives. Its use is increasing in healthcare, both in clinical and educational settings, with healthcare institutions and regulatory bodies recognizing that technology is ever-present. The aim of this scoping review was to examine and quantify the current evidence concerning the use of educational technologies in undergraduate and postgraduate nursing and midwifery education. This review was guided by the JBI methodology for scoping reviews. A tailored search strategy was developed with a research librarian and a number of databases were searched. A total of 19 638 literature sources were screened by three reviewers. Literature published from January 2016 to December 2020 was included and limited to the English language. The reporting of the review process is guided by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses for Scoping Reviews checklist. This review provides an overview of the current use of educational technologies within nursing and midwifery education; it provides a list of the technologies used, the research methodologies and designs undertaken, and the educational theories, models or frameworks considered. The review highlights the wide range of technologies in use and the paucity of studies that are guided by an educational theory, model or framework.

    Abstract Background: An integral part of both undergraduate and postgraduate nursing and midwifery programmes, is the teaching and assessment of clinical psychomotor skills. In order to provide safe care, there is an expectation that technical nursing procedures are performed competently and effectively. Due to limited opportunities to practice clinical skills there is a challenge to advance and implement innovative teaching approaches. Technological advances provide us with alternative options, outside of the traditional teaching approaches, to teach these skills.
    Objective: The aim of this state-of-the-art review was to examine and provide an overview of the current use of educational technologies in nursing and midwifery education in teaching clinical psychomotor skills.
    Methods: A-state-of -the-art literature review was carried out, as this type of evidence synthesis design reveals the current knowledge on a topic and identifies gaps for future research. We used a focused search strategy with the expertise of a research librarian. Data extraction included research designs and educational theories guiding the included studies along with the type of technologies studied. A descriptive summary of each study's findings in relation to the educational outcomes was performed.
    Findings: Sixty studies were sourced which met this reviews' eligibility criteria. Technologies in which most research was carried out included; simulation, video and virtual reality. The most common research design noted included randomized or quasi-experimental studies. The vast majority of studies (n = 47) did not elaborate whether educational theories guided them, while of the remaining thirteen studies, eleven theoretical frameworks were reported.
    Conclusion: Technology use in nursing and midwifery educational research surrounding psychomotor skills education is present. The educational outcomes reported by the majority of studies on the use of educational technology in teaching and/or assessing clinical psychomotor skills are encouraging. Additionally, the majority of studies noted that students evaluated the technology positively and were satisfied with its use in their education. Future research may include evaluating the technologies in both undergraduate and postgraduate populations. Finally, opportunities exist to expand the evaluation of student learning or assessment of these skills using technologies from the educational environment to the clinical environment.

    Abstract Aims: To synthesise the available body of qualitative studies relating to clinical research nurses' experiences of their role.
    Methods: A systematic search of the literature in five databases was undertaken: CINAHL, MEDLINE, EMBASE, PubMed and ProQuest. Thomas and Harden's three-stage approach to thematic analysis was followed using the ENTREQ statement for reporting.
    Results: Nineteen studies reported in 20 papers (with a total of 232 nurses) were included in the synthesis. Three analytical themes with six subthemes were identified as follows: "identity"; "meeting targets"; and "patient advocate."
    Conclusions: Clinical research nurses experience isolation, and contributing to this is their perception of nonresearch nurses' lack of understanding for their role. This can result in difficulties when recruiting study participants. Clinical research nurses can experience internal conflict between being a patient advocate and adhering to a trial protocol.
    Relevance to clinical practice: Training is needed to help research nurses develop skills to face challenges in order to ensure safe and ethical care is provided to research participants while also ensuring high-quality data collected for the study.
