  • Students reported difficulty relating to HPSMs as real patients.
  • The use of HPSMs was perceived as not currently conducive to developing interpersonal skills for the nurse-patient relationship.

    • Conclusions:

    • Further research is needed on using mannequins to develop nurse-patient interpersonal skills.
    • Educators should make evidence-based decisions regarding HPSM use and limitations in undergraduate nursing education.
