Confidence and deeper learning: simulated practice within pre-registration nurse education.
1Senior Lecturer, Liverpool John Moores University.
Final-year nursing students find simulation valuable in their education. This educational tool boosts confidence and deepens learning, aligning with new nursing standards for increased simulation use.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Qualitative Research
- Healthcare Simulation
Background:
- Simulation is increasingly recognized as a vital component of healthcare education.
- Evaluating student perceptions is crucial for optimizing simulation integration.
- New educational standards may necessitate expanded use of simulation in nursing programs.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore final-year nursing students' perceptions of simulation's value in their education.
- To understand how simulation impacts student confidence and learning.
- To inform curriculum development regarding simulation use.
Main Methods:
- Qualitative phenomenological research design.
- Semi-structured interviews conducted with 18 final-year nursing students.
- Interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) for data interpretation.
Main Results:
- Students perceive simulation as a highly valuable educational tool.
- Simulation enhances nursing students' confidence in practical skills.
- Simulation facilitates deeper understanding and knowledge retention.
Conclusions:
- Simulation is an effective pedagogical strategy in nursing education.
- Increased simulation time can positively impact student preparedness.
- Findings support the integration of simulation into evolving nursing curricula.

Interpretation of Confidence Intervals
Confidence intervals have confidence coefficients that are crucial for their interpretation. The most common confidence coefficients are 0.90, 0.95, and 0.99, which can be written as percentages–90%, 95%, and 99%, respectively.
Suppose a person calculates a confidence interval with a confidence coefficient of 0.95. In that case, they can...
