The review's descriptive synthesis of the nine included quasi-experimental and mixed-methods studies: most showed improved knowledge and skills, but "data were mainly collected by self‐assessments" and validated scores were used in only one study.

"Most studies showed improved skills and increased knowledge of participants after attending interventions. However, data were mainly collected by self‐assessments. Validated scores were only used in one of the nine studies"

• Online and interprofessional wound care courses increased students' subjective knowledge and were well accepted — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
• Reviewed peer-tutoring simulation studies mostly reached only Kirkpatrick Level 2, with no assessment of behavior change or clinical-practice results — related
