Simulation Learning and Transfer in Undergraduate Nursing Education: A Grounded Theory Study
The Journal of Nursing Education
|June 5, 2018
Summary
Simulation learning helps nursing students develop essential skills. This study explains how simulation experiences translate into confident clinical practice, preparing students for real-world nursing roles.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Healthcare Simulation
Background:
- Simulation-based learning enhances cognitive, affective, and psychomotor skills in students.
- The transfer process from simulation to clinical learning is not well understood.
Purpose of the Study:
- To conceptualize the process of simulation learning transfer to the clinical environment using grounded theory.
Main Methods:
- Classical grounded theory was employed to explore the simulation learning transfer process.
- Data analysis led to the emergence of a conceptual model.
Main Results:
- A 10-category model, centered on "Acting Like a Nurse," was developed.
- Key stages included "Being in Simulation," "Being in Clinical," skill application, and gaining confidence.
- The outcome was "Knowing What to Do" in clinical settings.
Conclusions:
- Simulation learning effectively enhances the transfer of learning to clinical practice.
- Students adopt role behaviors expected of practicing nurses through simulation.

When two or more atoms come together to form a molecule, their atomic orbitals combine and molecular orbitals of distinct energies result. In a solid, there are a large number of atoms, and therefore a large number of atomic orbitals that may be combined into molecular orbitals. These groups of molecular orbitals are so closely placed together to form continuous regions of energies, known as the bands.
The energy difference between these bands is known as the band gap.

Behavior is a product of both the situation (e.g., cultural influences, social roles, and the presence of bystanders) and of the person (e.g., personality characteristics). Subfields of psychology tend to focus on one influence or behavior over others. Situationism is the view that our behavior and actions are determined by our immediate environment and surroundings. In contrast, dispositionism holds that our behavior is determined by internal factors (Heider, 1958).

The earliest recorded discussion of the basic structure of matter comes from ancient Greek philosophers. Leucippus and Democritus argued that all matter was composed of small, finite particles that they called atomos, meaning “indivisible.” Later, Aristotle and others came to the conclusion that matter consisted of various combinations of the four “elements” — fire, earth, air, and water — and could be infinitely divided. Interestingly, these philosophers...

We have discussed why we form relationships, what attracts us to others, and different types of love. But what determines whether we are satisfied with and stay in a relationship? One theory that provides an explanation is social exchange theory. According to social exchange theory, we act as naïve economists in keeping a tally of the ratio of costs and benefits of forming and maintaining a relationship with others (Rusbult & Van Lange, 2003).
