Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Medical Simulation
  • Pain Management

Background:

  • Effective pain management in acute care remains challenging.
  • Limited knowledge is a key barrier to optimal pain management.
  • Innovative educational methods are needed for nursing students.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate nursing students' perceptions of an interactive computer simulation for pain management education.
  • To assess the simulation's motivational impact on further learning.
  • To compare student preference for simulation versus traditional lectures and its practice-changing potential.

Main Methods:

  • A mixed-methods descriptive study using a post-simulation survey.
  • 30 Bachelor of Science nursing students participated.
  • Survey included Likert scale and open-ended questions on educational benefit, preference, and practice change.

Main Results:

  • Students perceived the computer simulation as entertaining, fun, and educational.
  • The simulation was occasionally preferred over traditional lectures.
  • Students reported a perceived potential for the simulation to change their nursing practice.

Conclusions:

  • Interactive computer simulations are perceived positively by nursing students for pain management education.
  • Preliminary findings support the use of computer simulations to enhance nursing students' knowledge and practice regarding pain management.
