Abstract:Simulation-based training (SBT) programs are commonly employed by organizations to train individuals and teams for effective workplace cognitive and psychomotor skills in a broad range of applications. Distributed cognition has become a popular cognitive framework for the design and evaluation of these SBT environments, with structured methodologies such as Distributed Cognition for Teamwork (DiCoT) used for analysis. However, the analysis and evaluations generated by such distributed cognition frameworks requ… Show more
“…Twelve studies applied eye‐tracking to explore nursing students’ visual attention among different tasks. Eye‐tracking was used to assess the effect of communication training (Anbro et al., 2020), clinical bioethics decision‐making of nursing students (Fernandes et al., 2017), students’ visual behaviours and cognition engagement in simulated/virtual reality teaching (Amster et al., 2015; Dubovi, 2022; Groepel et al., 2022), factors influencing visual processing of non‐verbal communication (Matsumoto et al., 2010), communication skills training (Kobayashi et al., 2022), predict students’ self‐confidence (Vatral et al., 2023), students’ management of and response to interruptions (Vital & Nathanson, 2023), feasibility of eye‐tracking in simulated teaching, and the role of different visual interfaces in virtual teaching (Pence et al., 2014) as a method of feedback during students’ learning (Browning et al., 2016; O'Meara et al., 2015).…”
AimsTo map the themes and methods of nursing researches involving eye‐tracking as a measurement, and offer suggestion for future nursing research using eye‐tracking.DesignWe conducted a scoping review following the methodology outlined in the JBI Manual for Evidence Synthesis on scoping reviews.MethodsEligibility criteria were established based on Population (involving nursing or nursing students), Concept (utilizing eye‐tracking as a research method), and Context (in any setting). Articles were retrieved from the PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, CINAHL, APA PsycInfo, and Scopus databases, spanning from database inception to November 17, 2023. The included studies were analysed using descriptive statistics and content analysis.ResultsAfter duplicates were removed, 815 citations were identified from searches of electronic databases and other resources, and 66 met the inclusion criteria finally. Thirty‐eight studies were conducted in a simulated environment. Five application domains were identified, and most of the studies (N = 50) were observational. The domains found in our review did not cover all topics of nursing research in the same depth. Additionally, 39 studies did not solely explicate eye‐tracking data but instead integrated behavioural measures, scales/questionnaires, or other physiological data.ConclusionsEye‐tracking emerges as a significant research tool in uncovering visual behaviour, particularly in nursing research focused on nursing education. This study not only summarized the application and interpretation of eye‐tracking data but also recognized its potential in advancing clinical nursing research and practice. To effectively harness the capabilities of eye‐tracking in elucidating cognitive processes, future research should aim for a clearer grasp of the theoretical underpinnings of the addressed research problems and methodological choices. It is crucial to emphasize the standardization of eye‐tracking method reporting and ensuring data quality. No Patient or Public Contribution.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
