The effectiveness of peer learning interventions in nursing students’ clinical practice: A systematic review
Peer learning in clinical practice appears to be more effective than traditional approaches in promoting nursing students' professional development and supporting psychological aspects of learning. The small effects on self-efficacy highlight the need for further research examining psychological aspects of learning in greater depth. These findings can support educators and healthcare organisations in selecting clinical practice models that promote student learning.
