Background:
Simulation is an important learning-teaching tool for integrating theory and practice in nursing education.
Objective:
The aim of this study was to develop and to conduct the validity and reliability of a self-evaluation scale for simulation laboratory practices (SES-SLP) with undergraduate nurses.
Methods:
The study sample consisted of 220 undergraduate nursing students. Data were collected using a Descriptive Characteristic Form (DCF) and the 23-item Self-Evaluation Scale for Simulation Laboratory Practices (SES-SLP).
Results:
Cronbach's alpha value of the scale was 0.94. The scale comprised of two subscales: the developing factor (19 items) and the challenging factor (4 items). All items showed a statistically significant correlation (p < 0.05).
Conclusions:
The SES-SLP is a valid and reliable scale that can be used to evaluate students' learning experience for simulation laboratory practices.
