Summary
Nurse practitioner (NP) educators can enhance preclinical curricula with simulation. This study found simulation improved NP students
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Healthcare Simulation
- Competency-Based Education
Background:
- Nurse practitioner (NP) educators face challenges integrating simulation into preclinical curricula and adopting competency-based education.
- Limited research exists on simulation's effectiveness specifically for NP students in preclinical settings.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate NP student perceptions, satisfaction, and confidence following a preclinical simulation program.
- To compare changes in clinical communication self-efficacy and clinical rotation preparedness before and after simulation participation.
Main Methods:
- A preclinical simulation program was designed, implemented, and evaluated within a disease management course for NP students.
- Data collected included student perceptions, satisfaction, confidence, clinical communication self-efficacy, and self-rated preparedness.
Main Results:
- NP students reported high satisfaction and confidence with the simulation learning experience.
- Significant increases were observed in clinical communication self-efficacy (t[17] = 3.73, p < .01) and self-rated clinical rotation preparedness (t[17] = -2.97, p < .01) post-simulation.
Conclusions:
- Experientially designed preclinical simulation is effective in NP disease management courses.
- Simulation can positively impact NP students' clinical readiness and progression toward competency.
- Findings support the integration of simulation in NP programs for competency-based education.

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.

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.

1.3K
Planning for learning involves the development of a teaching plan. Teaching plans are similar to nursing care plans—both follow the steps of the nursing process. Planning in the teaching process involves setting goals and outcomes. Here, goals identify what a patient needs to achieve to understand a healthcare topic better, whereas the outcomes are the action to be performed by the patient to achieve the goal within a timeframe. For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about...

Several factors are considered while creating a patient's care plan. Motivation is a factor in improving communication, and patients often require encouragement to try different approaches involving significant change. It is essential to involve the patient and family in decisions about the plan of care to determine whether the suggested methods are acceptable. Consider meeting critical comfort and safety needs before introducing new communication methods and techniques. Allow adequate time...

The planning phase of the nursing process helps nurses set priorities, outline patient-centered goals and expected outcomes, and tailor nursing interventions to align with the aligned care plan. Through the planning phase, the nurse applies critical thinking skills to align and develop interventions according to the patient's needs. It provides continuity of care allowing patients to receive the maximum benefit from treatment. It serves as a pilot plan for allocating individual staff to a...
