- Biosciences
- Medical Terminology
Background
- Nursing students require specialized language and knowledge to comprehend biosciences.
- Mobile applications offer potential solutions for accessible and engaging learning.
Purpose Of The Study
- To review evidence on mobile application effectiveness for nursing students learning bioscience terminology.
- To identify the utility and impact of these digital tools in science education.
Main Methods
- A comprehensive scoping review of peer-reviewed literature from 2010-2023.
- Searches across multiple databases (CINAHL, ERIC, MEDLINE, PubMed, etc.) and snowballing techniques.
Main Results
- Mobile applications positively impact nursing students' education, offering structured content and promoting peer learning.
- Applications covered various science concepts; however, few specifically target bioscience language and terminology.
- Barriers included user internet access and preparation, but overall benefits were significant.
Conclusions
- Nurse educators should integrate mobile applications due to their effectiveness in science concept acquisition.
- Development of specialized bioscience terminology applications could enhance nursing education.
- Further rigorous interventional studies are recommended to validate these findings.

The scientific method provides the foundation for any research. It is the most reliable and objective of all forms of gaining knowledge and guides in applying research-based evidence in practice and conducting future research.
When using research findings to change practice, one must understand the process used to guide a study. The scientific method is a systematic, step-by-step process that supports the data's validity, reliability, and generalizability. As a result, findings can be...
The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.
Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...
SBAR is an effective communication tool used by healthcare professionals to communicate patient information accurately. SBAR stands for Situation, Background, Assessment, and Recommendation. For a better understanding, an example is given below.
