Summary: This systematic review identified factors associated with self-directed learning (SDL) ability among undergraduate nursing students, suggesting that both environmental and personal influences play important roles in SDL development. Strategies like individual study and small group learning, along with continuous support and guidance from educators, are effective in enhancing students' SDL.

Summary: As VR technologies are increasingly adopted in education, careful evaluation of instructional modes is needed. This study evaluates two modes: direct interaction and observation of others learning with VR. Results show that direct VR interaction leads to more intense emotional engagement, but no significant difference in knowledge gains. Each mode has specific instructional affordances, and further exploration of the cognitive and emotional components of learning with VR is needed.

Summary: This study aims to explore the factors that affect problem-solving ability among nursing students and investigate the path relationships among self-directed learning ability, critical thinking ability, learning engagement, and problem-solving ability. The results showed that learning engagement, self-directed learning ability, and critical thinking ability were positively associated with problem-solving ability. Furthermore, learning engagement indirectly influenced problem-solving ability via self-directed learning ability and critical thinking ability. The total effects of self-directed learning and critical thinking ability on problem-solving ability were more prominent than learning engagement.

Summary: This article presents a systematic review of technology-based self-management interventions for women with breast cancer in six countries. The majority of interventions utilized web- or mobile-based technology, with one study using artificial intelligence-based technology. Quality of life and symptom distress were commonly mentioned health outcomes. The findings suggest that incorporating key components such as self-management planning, diary keeping, and communication support in technology-based interventions can significantly improve the self-management process for breast cancer survivors.
