Background:
This systematic review examined differences in learner outcomes between traditional learning models (TLMs) and dedicated education units (DEUs) in undergraduate nursing programs.
Method:
Six databases were searched to identify peer-reviewed literature published between 2000 and 2025. Fifteen articles informed this review.
Results:
Included studies focused on various student outcomes including evaluation of students' perceptions and student performance. Themes around student perception included learning environment, learning opportunities, and learning performance. Themes around performance included standardized exams, course exams, competency exams, and preceptor evaluation of competency development.
Conclusion:
Main findings indicate the DEU model for clinical education enhances student satisfaction with the learning environment, increases learning opportunities, and improves self-perceived learning performance. The effects of DEUs on student performance outcomes require additional research, but preliminary research suggests a positive relationship between the DEU and competency development.
