Clinical Simulation in Nursing
|October 17, 2022
Summary
Clinical nurse educators found virtual simulation effective for nursing education when hospital clinicals were unavailable. Faculty preparation for virtual simulation was also perceived as highly effective, supporting student learning outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Healthcare Simulation
- Educational Technology
Background:
- The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated rapid adaptation in pre-licensure baccalaureate nursing programs.
- Traditional hospital-based clinicals became inaccessible, leading to the adoption of virtual simulation learning environments.
- Alternative learning strategies, such as virtual simulation, were crucial for student progression in nursing education.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore nursing faculty's perceived effectiveness of vSim for Nursing® as a replacement for clinical practice.
- To examine the effectiveness of faculty preparation for implementing virtual simulation in nursing education.
- To gather evidence supporting data-driven decisions for virtual simulation in nursing curricula.
Main Methods:
- A pilot study was conducted with pre-licensure baccalaureate nursing faculty.
- Effectiveness of virtual simulation and faculty preparation was evaluated using an adapted Simulation Effectiveness Tool - Modified (SET-M).
- Quantitative data analysis focused on mean scores for perceived effectiveness.
Main Results:
- Faculty strongly agreed that vSim for Nursing® was effective for student learning, with item scores ranging from 57.9% to 97.4%.
- A majority of faculty strongly agreed that their preparation for using virtual simulation was highly effective (86.8%-97.4%).
- Faculty perceived vSim for Nursing® as an effective tool for replacing clinical practice and felt prepared to achieve student learning outcomes.
Conclusions:
- Virtual simulation, specifically vSim for Nursing®, is perceived by faculty as an effective tool for replacing traditional clinical practice in nursing education.
- Adequate faculty preparation is essential for the successful implementation of virtual simulation and achieving student competencies.
- Further evidence is needed to support the effectiveness of virtual simulation, enabling data-driven decisions to enhance student success in clinical practice.

The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.

5.2K
Implementation is the execution of the nursing care plan developed during the planning phase.
The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.

The nursing process provides a clinical decision-making framework for patients and families to establish and implement a personalized care plan. Since part of the nurse's duties is to teach patients, the steps of the nursing process are the most effective way to approach instruction. The nursing process and the teaching-learning process are inextricably linked.

Evaluation of the teaching process enables the nurse to determine if the patient's learning needs were met and if training was effective. If the expected outcomes are not met, the care plan is revised, and additional education or reinforcement is provided. Nurses can ask questions after the session or obtain feedback to assess the patient's understanding of the topic.

There are several characteristics related to delivering nursing care. One vital characteristic of the nursing process is that it can be used to protect nurses and justify the provided care. Productive use of the nursing process requires the knowledge and skills of nurses to assess and solve issues. Nurses should develop and strengthen their critical thinking skills and evidence-based nursing interventions to improve their skills in formulating nursing care plans. A well-defined approach to...
