Subclaims¶

q2 i? Alignment of training content with real clinical scenarios directly influenced transfer; practice-oriented methods such as case analysis, scenario simulation, and bedside teaching helped trainees link knowledge, context, and action. → Liang 2026

Evidence¶

Liang 2026¶

Liang, Zhang, Jiang, Li, Shang, Ji and Chen. (2026). Exploring training transfer in neurosurgical specialty nurse education: a qualitative descriptive study. Frontiers in Neurology. https://doi.org/10.3389/fneur.2026.1915268

q2 · i? · qualitative · r3

Facilitator subtheme from interviews; participants reported that case-based teaching and simulation of emergencies such as postoperative seizures helped them handle similar situations calmly, and that OSCEs better reflected integrated application than theoretical tests.

"The closer the training content was to authentic neurosurgical nursing scenarios, the smoother its translation after trainees returned to work."

Studies bearing on this claim¶

Does making the assessed task closer to real practice help learners carry the capability into that practice? This table gathers the studies behind this claim and the 8 narrower claims that bear on it: 9 distinct studies (6 qualitative, 1 theoretical, 1 review, 1 causal), q1–q3, 0 of 9 with an effect size coded. One row per study, codes as each entry records them; no effect is averaged and no verdict is drawn. Built by scripts/synthesize_claim.py from eval/synthesis/; a row that looks wrong is fixed on the claim it comes from.
