An exploration of peer-assisted learning in undergraduate nursing students in paediatric clinical settings: An ethnographic study

摘要

Background: Peer-assisted leaning relates to the acquisition of knowledge and skills through shared learning of matched equals. The concept has been explored within the field of nurse education across a range of learning environments, but its impact in practice is still relatively unknown. This paper reports on findings when observing paediatric undergraduate nursing students who engage in PAL within the clinical practice setting.
