Dedicated education units (DEUs) provide an approach to clinical redesign in nursing education. However, the evidence supporting the application of the DEU model has not been systematically reviewed to assess the impact of this model on students' learning outcomes.
This integrative review analyzed the evidence on the relationship between the DEU model and nursing students' learning outcomes.
Electronic databases were searched for articles published between 1998 and 2019. Search terms used were dedicated education unit, academic collaboration, academic-practice partnership, and outcomes. A total of 24 articles informed this review.
Four categories emerged: clinical self-efficacy and confidence, teamwork and collaboration, knowledge and competency, and students' satisfaction.
The main findings support a positive relationship between the DEU model and students' learning outcomes. Research is still needed to investigate the impact of DEU models on students' problem-solving and clinical judgment.
专门教育单位（DEUs）为护理教育中的临床重新设计提供了一种方法。然而，尚未对支持 DEU 模型应用的证据进行系统审查，以评估该模型对学生学习成果的影响。
本综合评价分析了 DEU 模型与护理学生学习成果之间的关系的证据。
检索了 1998 年至 2019 年发表的文章的电子数据库。使用的检索词为专门教育单位、学术合作、学术实践伙伴关系和成果。共有 24 篇文章为本次综述提供了信息。
出现了四个类别：临床自我效能和信心、团队合作、知识和能力以及学生满意度。
主要研究结果支持 DEU 模型与学生学习成果之间的积极关系。仍需要研究 DEU 模型对学生解决问题和临床判断能力的影响。
