Article Abstract
Aim: The study presents the findings of a meta-ethnographic study, developing a conceptual model for peer-assisted learning for undergraduate nurses in clinical practice.
Design: Qualitative meta-ethnography.
Methods: Meta-ethnography was used to synthesize the findings of two ethnographic studies and a qualitative review related to the influence of peer-assisted learning on student nurses in clinical practice.
Results: Four key themes were identified underpinned by six sub-themes: (a) "Social" whereby "connecting with peers" is an important part in peer-assisted learning. (b) "Enabling" peers through "collaborative support for advice and guidance" and "reducing anxiety/increasing confidence." (c) "Organizational" aspects in peer-assisted learning in "establishing structure and navigating practice" and "establishing the role of the PAL." (d) "Learning" as a product of developing knowledge and skills through "sharing of practice experience" and "enhancing knowledge of care." The conceptual model presents a structure outlining elements required for developing effective knowledge and skills through peer-assisted learning.

Background: Drug discovery is a complex, multidisciplinary process that requires pharmacy graduates to be effective analytical, teamwork-oriented, and problem-solving individuals. Traditional teaching approaches have shortcomings in enabling students to learn such skills, particularly in resource-limited or disrupted educational settings.
Objective: The aim of this study was to measure the effect of a peer-assisted learning (PAL) intervention on Sudanese pharmacy students' knowledge, confidence, and perceptions towards the drug discovery process during a period of conflict-related disruption.

The objective of this meta-analysis was to compare the effects of peer-assisted learning (PAL) and traditional teaching methods on the theoretical knowledge and practical skill education in clinical medicine by summarizing the relevant randomized controlled trial (RCT) studies reported to date. A comprehensive search was conducted across several medical literature databases, including PubMed, EMBASE, Springer, Ovid, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and China Biology Medicine Disc (CBMdisc). All pertinent articles, reviews, and references published from January 1970 to May 2023 were analyzed using Review Manager 5.

: In Australia, attrition rates in undergraduate nursing degrees have been increasing nationally. The aim of this study was to explore if and how clinical laboratory-based peer-assisted learning (PAL) improved the first-year nursing student learning experience and retention at a regional university. A further aim was to explore any perceived benefits for third-year student participants.
