Crisis Response in Nursing Education: An Integrative Review of Nursing Program Adaptation to COVID-19.

Purpose: This integrative review sought to systematically examine and synthesize published research on crisis response to identify ways in which undergraduate nursing education programs in various countries adapted to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.

Method: A computerized search of CINAHL, Science Direct, and Web of Science databases was performed. The literature search, review, and data extraction process followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) format of identification, screening, eligibility, and inclusion.

Results: Digital learning technology platforms were used in undergraduate nursing education in various ways to adapt to the teaching and learning challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Conclusion: Teaching and learning methodologies identified included online lectures and webinars; interactive virtual learning experiences, such as videos, presentations, quizzes, games, and other web-based interactive forms of multimedia files and textual content; and virtual simulations for nursing skills and tele-health experience.
