An Innovative Simulated Research Practicum for Undergraduate Nursing Students
Background:
An understanding of the research process and familiarity with research methods is essential to nursing curricula to prepare graduates to participate in the generation of new nursing knowledge. A research practicum with nurse researchers is one way of providing intensive hands-on training. At our institution, research placements for students has become difficult for a number of reasons.
Method:
To solve the problem related to the low number of quality research placements available, simulation was used to create an innovative research practicum.
Results:
The simulated research practicum increased the number of quality research projects available to students and allowed students to participate in a small study from start to finish. It also used fewer faculty resources.
Conclusion:
The simulated research practicum is an innovative strategy to provide practical research experience to undergraduate students and requires fewer faculty resources than traditional placements. [J Nurs Educ. 2019;58(2):114-116.].
