Nurse practitioner (NP) students showed improved confidence and readiness after a telehealth simulation training. This program enhanced their preparation for delivering rural healthcare via telehealth technology.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Digital Health
- Rural Health
Background:
- Telehealth preparation for nurse practitioner (NP) students lacks standardization across educational programs.
- Identified gaps exist in NP students' readiness to utilize telehealth for patient care and managing specific health conditions.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe the development and implementation of a telehealth simulation training.
- To enhance NP students' preparedness for rural practice using telehealth.
Main Methods:
- A telehealth simulation training experience was developed and implemented for NP students.
- Participants from various NP specialties engaged in the simulation.
Main Results:
- The telehealth simulation training significantly improved students' confidence and readiness scores.
- Post-simulation scores demonstrated a statistically significant increase compared to pre-simulation scores.
Conclusions:
- The telehealth simulation training effectively enhanced NP students' knowledge and preparation for rural telehealth delivery.
- This initiative offers a valuable model for integrating telehealth competencies into NP curricula.
