Arts-based educational methodologies have been implemented in nursing and other health disciplines to promote person-centered approaches to care. Readers Theatre has been applied as a tool to promote compassionate and holistic approaches to care. Readers Theatre is a form of drama that requires participants to read aloud a scripted narrative to the audience.
To examine the extant literature on experiences of adult learners and educators in utilizing Readers Theatre, and its potential suitability for nurse education. The review question was: "What are the learning experiences of adult students and the teaching experiences of educators in the uptake of Readers Theatre?"
Scoping review guidelines proposed by Arksey and O'Malley were adopted. Academic databases searches were carried out in ProQuest, JSTOR, Scholars Portal, EBSCO, Web of Science, PubMed, Expanded Academic ASAP, and Scopus.
The search and keyword strategy was developed by two reviewers and approved by the lead author, and a librarian. All titles and abstracts were individually examined by the two reviewers with discrepancies discussed and resolved by both parties. Data were extracted for thematic analysis.
A total of 31 studies were selected for the final sample. Four themes were identified within the scoping review relevant to Readers Theatre teaching-learning experiences: 1) principles and characteristics; 2) awareness, understanding, caring and empathy; 3) cross-disciplinary collaboration, interdisciplinary education, and knowledge dissemination; and 4) promoting students' skills.
Readers Theatre has the potential to be utilized within a nursing curriculum, and particularly in theory and substantive class-based courses, through active group learning, in the application phase of knowledge acquisition.
艺术教育方法已在护理和其他健康学科中实施，以促进以人为本的护理方法。读者剧场已被用作促进关怀和整体护理方法的工具。读者剧场是一种需要参与者向观众大声朗读脚本叙述的戏剧形式。
检查关于成人学习者和教育者在采用读者剧场方面的经验以及其在护理教育中潜在适用性的现有文献。审查问题是：“成人学生在接受读者剧场方面的学习经验和教育者的教学经验是什么？”
采用了 Arksey 和 O'Malley 提出的范围审查指南。在 ProQuest、JSTOR、Scholars Portal、EBSCO、Web of Science、PubMed、Expanded Academic ASAP 和 Scopus 中进行了学术数据库搜索。
两名审查员制定了搜索和关键词策略，并由首席作者和一名图书管理员批准。两名审查员分别检查了所有标题和摘要，如果有分歧，则由双方进行讨论和解决。提取数据进行主题分析。
最终样本中共有 31 项研究入选。范围审查中确定了与读者剧场教学经验相关的四个主题：1）原则和特征；2）意识、理解、关怀和同理心；3）跨学科合作、跨学科教育和知识传播；4）促进学生的技能。
读者剧场有可能在护理课程中得到应用，特别是在理论和实质性的课堂课程中，通过积极的小组学习，在知识获取的应用阶段。
