<p><strong>Objective: </strong>The process of changing student <a href="https://www.omicsonline.org/open-access/study-of-the-acceptance-and-perceived-efficacy-of-animal-assisted-therapyaat-for-parents-and-nurses-in-the-psychiatry-unit-of-meye-2161-0711-1000448.php?aid=75864">nurses attitudes</a>,
values, and behaviours so that they become congruent with the
profession are neither easy nor successful in all cases. This paper will
clearly highlight to the reader the conditions necessary in order to
both optimise teaching activities and measure the degree of change in
the affective domain of student nurses.</p>
<p><strong>Method: </strong>The aim of the meta-ethnography was to
analyse and synthesize literature on the impact of four undergraduate
pre-registration programme enrichment activities (Inter-professional
learning, International placements, simulation, and blended learning) on
the affective domain development of student nurses. A systematic search
of the literature identified qualitative studies using explicit
criteria. Key concepts were identified and translated across the
studies, by using a recognised framework that measured changes in values
and attitudes: compliance, identification, and internalisation, from
the collective views of the participants. The findings created a line of
argument synthesis from the developed tables and mind maps.</p>
<p><strong>Results: </strong>Data were synthesised from twenty nine
papers, across seven countries, with more than 755 student nurse
participants. Reciprocal translation highlighted teaching activities
that created significant modification in affective domain development,
resulting in the internalisation of learning, were those that introduced
the <a href="https://www.omicsonline.org/nursing-care.php">nursing students</a> to a new patient, personal or professional culture via an international placement or an inter-professional training programme.</p>
<p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> The final synthesis presents conclusions
not evident in the primary studies. To develop students so they have
attitudes and values congruent with the profession, academics and
registered practitioners need to focus on creating enrichment activities
alongside the regular curriculum that are: based on cultural issues
that challenge beliefs and assumptions, either immersive or repeated for
more than 6 weeks, based around or in clinical practice, and provide
regular opportunities for premise reflection with experienced staff.</p>
