Summary
Nursing students in Saudi Arabia show a strong positive attitude towards simulation-based learning, recognizing its value for skill development and patient care. This highlights the importance of integrating simulation into nursing education for better clinical preparedness.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Medical Simulation
- Healthcare Professional Training
Background:
- Simulation-based education is crucial for nursing students' professional development and patient care skills.
- A knowledge gap exists regarding nursing students' perceptions of simulation-based learning in Saudi Arabia, hindering effective strategy development.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate nursing students' perceptions and attitudes toward simulation-based learning within Saudi Arabia.
Main Methods:
- A cross-sectional study surveyed 173 nursing students using a structured questionnaire.
- Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Mann-Whitney/Kruskal-Wallis tests (p <0.05).
Main Results:
- 91.3% of students reported favorable attitudes towards simulation-based learning (Median = 4.43).
- Attitudes were significantly influenced by age (younger students scored lower), academic year (fourth-year students scored higher), and GPA (higher GPAs correlated with more positive attitudes).
Conclusions:
- Saudi nursing students generally hold positive attitudes towards simulation-based learning.
- Integrating simulation-based approaches is recommended to enhance critical thinking, communication, and patient care outcomes in nursing education.

Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

1.5K
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.

1.7K
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.
Nurses can use several methods to evaluate patient outcomes. For example, oral questions can assess cognitive learning,...

According to obedience research, we may harm others under the forceful pressures of an authority figure (Milgram, 1974). How about if the inappropriate orders were delivered with less force? The increasing interdependence between nurses and physicians compelled Hofling and his colleagues to explore nurses’ reactions to a potentially harmful medical request made by the perceived authority figure, the doctor (Hofling, Brotzman, Dalrymple, Graves, & Pierce, 1966). In this situation,...

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.
