Using TEL in nursing education helps students learn in a more engaging way
and gives them the skills they need to meet the changing needs of patients
in the digital age (Raman, 15). It has been demonstrated that TEL, including
simulation-based learning and virtual training programmes, can markedly
enhance the competencies of nursing students (Elendu et al., 4). For ex-
ample, Rahimi et al. (3) showed that a virtual training programme for nurse
educators aimed at improving cultural competence led to increased self-effi-
cacy and cultural competence across various dimensions after the interven-
tion. Similarly, Salifu et al. () emphasised that immersive, student-cen-
tred, and experiential teaching strategies, including simulation-based clinical
education, are more effective in developing clinical competence among
nursing students in Ghana. These approaches facilitate student engagement
while accommodating diverse learning styles, thereby enhancing overall ed-
ucational outcomes (El-Sabagh, 1). Altmiller et al. (4) and Philip (15)
highlighted the value of screen-based patient simulations in providing nurs-
ing students with multiple opportunities to demonstrate their competencies
in diverse contexts, which is crucial for competency-based education. This is
consistent with the findings of Gradellini et al. (3) who observed that ed-
ucators with the requisite pedagogical competence can employ experiential
learning to facilitate the development of intercultural competence among
nursing students. The global health landscape calls for nursing education
that embraces a broad spectrum of competencies, such as cultural compe-
tence, informatics, digital and clinical skills. As stated by Satoh et al. (),
the World Health Organization (WHO) places significant emphasis on the
incorporation of global health competencies within nursing curricula, with
the objective of preparing nurses for practice in diverse environments. This
integration is considered to be of paramount importance in order to develop
a workforce capable of addressing the complex health needs of populations
worldwide. The literature indicates that digital or simulation-based learning,
competency-based education and the integration of informatics are crucial
for enhancing the skills of nursing students. As the nursing education sector
evolves to align with the demands of modern healthcare, it is vital to priori-
tise innovative teaching methods that foster a competent and capable nurs-
ing workforce.
The Aim of This Review
To evaluate the effectiveness of various TEL interventions in achieving sig-
nificant improvements across different learning styles and competencies in
nursing education.
