Undergraduate nursing students found clinical simulation effective for learning child and family care. This innovative teaching method enhances both learning processes and caregiving skills, benefiting all involved.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Pediatric Nursing
- Healthcare Simulation
Background:
- Clinical simulation is an increasingly utilized pedagogical tool in nursing education.
- Understanding student perceptions is crucial for optimizing simulation-based learning experiences.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore undergraduate nursing students' perceptions of learning to care for children and families using clinical simulation.
- To identify the benefits and challenges associated with clinical simulation in pediatric nursing education.
Main Methods:
- Qualitative research approach utilizing semi-structured interviews.
- Involved ten undergraduate nursing students.
- Data analyzed using content analysis.
Main Results:
- Students described simulation as a novel and effective learning method ('learning a new way to learn').
- Participants reflected on how simulation improved their approach to child and family care ('learning a new way to care').
Conclusions:
- Clinical simulation offers significant benefits for nursing students, faculty, patients, and families.
- Further research is recommended to validate specific child and family healthcare simulation scenarios.
