    INTRODUCTION: Siblings of children with disabilities or chronic illnesses often face significant challenges during their upbringing. Despite these difficulties, many develop a positive outlook and adapt successfully. To help individuals navigate developmental challenges in a healthy and manageable way, this study focuses on the concept of resilience. Although previous studies have primarily focused on the challenges and difficulties faced by siblings of children with disabilities and chronic illnesses, the factors influencing resilience in these siblings remain unclear. This review aims to inform the development of effective support systems for siblings of children with disabilities and chronic illnesses. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: We will search PubMed (MEDLINE), CINAHL (EBSCOhost), Web of Science and Ichushi-Web (a Japanese Medical Literature Database). Two independent reviewers will apply the inclusion and exclusion criteria to screen the titles and abstracts of the retrieved articles. Full texts of relevant studies will be reviewed. This scoping review focuses on studies addressing resilience in siblings of children with disabilities and chronic illnesses during childhood, with particular focus on the perspectives of siblings. The review will exclude conference proceedings, abstracts, posters, editorials, commentaries, opinion papers and review papers. However, important documents found during the search will be added if relevant. Using a custom data extraction method developed for this review, the researchers will extract relevant data, inductively and comprehensively organise similar codes, and identify key components of resilience. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: This study does not involve human subjects and therefore does not require approval from an ethics committee for human subjects research. The results of this exploratory review will be disclosed through conference presentations and publication in peer-reviewed academic journals. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: https://osf.io/p34ex/.

    International Journal of Caring Sciences, Sep. 2025, [Reviewed]
    Background: At University A, pediatric nursing practicum is conducted using SimJunior, a high-fidelity simulator.Aim: This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of a case study practical exercise using SimJunior. Methodology: The survey was conducted using a self-administered questionnaire. This study involved 129 second-year nursing students from University A. The findings from the exercise using SimJunior, briefing 1 week before the practical exercise, and debriefing were studied and analyzed. Results: The practical exercise conducted using SimJunior confirmed that students gained a better understanding of respiratory status through visualization. The briefing held 1 week before the practical exercise helped students review their knowledge and understand the case studies and contributed to improving their observation skills. In addition, the debriefing facilitated the exchange of ideas and the retention of knowledge and skills among students.

    The purpose of this qualitative descriptive study was to clarify the experiences of
    patients with severe motor and intellectual disabilities (SMID) receiving home health
    care during life events, focusing on family life from childhood onward. In their life with
    their family since childhood, ［their symptoms worsened and they did not interact with
    their peers］［Adjustment of their life to fit their peers］［Life with restrictions where
    only they are scolded and their parents are taken by their peers］［Helping care for
    their peers by seeing their parents］［Awakening to the realization that they need
    support and care for their peers and finding their existence value through seeing their
    parents' joy］. The characteristics of the parents are: ［Putting the lives of their
    siblings and their parents before their own］［Respecting the wishes of their siblings
    and participating in activities that connect them to society］. Experiences related to
    sibling-centered life events were found to be. The following were mentioned:
    ［Choosing a career path or occupation that prioritized the presence of
    siblings］［Interacting with friends while being aware of the presence of
    siblings］［Anxiety about being rejected or not being accepted because of
    siblings］［Anxiety about having children and parents' encouragement］［Parental
    thoughts about the growth of their children overlapping with that of siblings］. It is
    necessary to support siblings' childhood struggles and experiences and the process of
    changing roles.
