Detailing experienced nurse decision making during acute patient care simulations

Application of eye‐tracking in nursing research: A scoping review

“…A total of 20 articles reported the use of eye trackers in nursing’ visual attention or mental workload while performing nursing task. Those studies explored nurses’ mental workload in 12 h working shifts (Ahmadi et al., 2022 ), visual attention in error identification or patient identification error (He et al., 2011 ; Henneman et al., 2010 , 2012 ; Law & Schmolzer, 2020 ; Lohmeyer et al., 2022 ; Marquard et al., 2011 ), visual attention in daily professional life tasks (Afkari & Bednarik, 2023 ; Al‐Moteri et al., 2022 ; Henneman, Gawlinski, et al., 2017 ; Hofmaenner et al., 2021 ; Nishimura, 2018 ; Rodríguez et al., 2014 ; Takami et al., 2021 ; Valek et al., 2022 ), visual attention in decision‐making (Anton et al., 2023 ), nurses’ situation awareness in precardiac arrest simulations (Lavoie et al., 2023 ), visual attention in neonatal/paediatric resuscitation (Law et al., 2018 ; Wagner et al., 2022 ), and defibrillation (Ross et al., 2015 ).…”

“…Concurrent think‐aloud refers to encouraging participants to express their feelings and ideas in real time during the experiment while, in retrospective think‐aloud, the participants are shown their own eye‐movement gaze path videos after the experiment and express their thoughts and feelings aloud. In this review, think‐aloud was adopted in seven studies, three of which used retrospective think‐aloud (Al‐Moteri et al., 2022 ; Chen & Law, 2023 ; Yoon et al., 2016 ) and four of which used CTA (Anton et al., 2023 ; Currie et al., 2018 ; Ehrler et al., 2018 ; Henneman, Gawlinski, et al., 2017 ).…”
