Background:

Traditional intravenous (IV) insertion instruction relies on conventional methods.
Haptic IV simulators offer a novel approach to practicing IV cannulation.
Evaluating the efficacy of simulation in procedural training is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

To compare traditional IV insertion teaching methods with haptic IV simulator training.
To analyze the current literature on IV insertion simulation effectiveness.
To identify optimal strategies for IV insertion skill acquisition.

Main Methods:

Integrative research design analyzing literature from 2000-2015.
Database search using keywords: intravenous (IV) insertion, cannulation, venipuncture, and simulation.
Whittemore and Knafl's (2005) strategies for article critique and theme identification.

Main Results:

Outcomes comparing traditional methods and haptic simulators show varied results.
Haptic simulators may decrease band constriction and total procedure time.
Students report satisfaction with simulators but still desire faculty interaction.

Conclusions:

A blended approach combining haptic IV simulators with practical IV arm experience may be optimal.
Active learning strategies with haptic simulators could potentially reduce costs and faculty time.
Further research is needed to validate the benefits of simulation in IV insertion training.
